I have just finished watching a copy of the unaired version of Cartman Gets An Anal Probe. This version is very different to the one Comedy Central plays. Here are some examples:

1) The background music is a take-off of the piano music of those classic Peanuts holiday specials plus there is no opening theme by Primus at the beginning of the episode. 2) Some of the characters' voices are different, especially Cartman's mother and Wendy Testaburger. 3) The classroom scene is different. Mr. Hat calls Kyle a "turd" and after Kyle says, "Fuck Mr. Hat" (the "fuck" word being censored of course), Mr. Hat says to Kyle, "No Kyle, fuck you!" (once again the "fuck" word is bleeped out) and then there's a commercial break. This version doesn't have Cartman farting fire in the classroom or the scene where Cartman sets Pip on fire with his farts. 4) The cafeteria scene is completely different. The scene where Pip explains to the boys what the origin of his name is (which was used later on in An Elephant Makes Love To A Pig) is shown. Also, Chef doesn't ring the fire alarm to get the boys out of school, he gives them hot tamales to eat. The scene shifts to the school's playground where Pip cracks his head open after sliding down a slide and crashing into a jungle gym bar. The boys are then bullied by a group of 5th graders who force Cartman to eat all of the hot tamales. That is why Cartman farts fire not because of the aliens but because of the hot tamales. The scene shifts to the school nurse's office where Pip is bleeding heavily. When Cartman farts fire in the office, the nurse then gives the boys permission to leave the school and take Cartman home. 5) The "Tom Selleck" reference that Cartman makes is not present in this version. 6) In the scene where the boys wait for the aliens to arrive, they notice a strange light which turns out to be the headlights of Chef's car. Chef drives away when the real aliens arrive (no "Sanford And Son" reference in this version). 7) The scene where the cows have a conversation with the aliens doesn't exist in the original version of Cartman Gets An Anal Probe. 8) The "David Caruso's career" reference is not present in this version. Instead, Kyle promises Ike that he would no longer "kick the baby". 9) The scene where the cows zap the officer with the "I Love To Singa" thing is not present in this version. Instead, the aliens are having a barbecue and guess who are the main course. 10) Kyle breaks his promise to Ike and kicks him through the window of Cartman's house startling Cartman's mother. 11) Kenny lives! You heard right. Kenny miraculously survives his confrontations with the aliens, the cow stampede, the cop car running him over and the rats eating him up. 12) The whole "pinkeye" speech by Cartman isn't present in this version. Instead, Pip says, "God bless us everyone" then Cartman promises to kick his ass as soon as he gets up after being dropped off by the aliens. 13) The show's end credits are different. A different Braniff clip plays at the end as well.

Please don't bother asking me for a copy of this show. I don't need Comedy Central slapping me with a lawsuit for copyright infringement. Enough said.

Understood, but could you either post the script to ATS or make it available via e-mail (I know I'm interested in seeing the script, and it should be obvious what my real e-mail adress is)? Surely that's less illegal than sending out video copies - which is why the RealVideo sites showing episodes of the show are going under while the sites with scripts are still going strong.

In article ,

How about RealVideo versions, then? Certainly someone with one of those quicktimifier cards should get ahold of a copy of that. After all, there are still lots of sites peddling SoXMAS in some kind of file format.

I've never heard of SoXMAS tape providers being sued, though I've heard grumbling about people who are selling episodes. Of course, friends will always be sending each other taped episodes.

One more thing about the original pilot version of Cartman Gets An Anal Probe. We get to see Cartman's dad in a very short scene sitting at the dinner table at Cartman's house. He doesn't say anything in this scene but it's interesting to see Cartman's dad for the first time.

Just a question, but how do we know it's Cartman's dad? ( Pardon me if I forgot that his Mom said something, I don't remember ) Couldn't it be the "Stop making me dress up like a mailman and dance while you smoke crack and have sex with some guy I don't even know in my daddy's bed" guy? ---Smith

Smith2003 asked me how do I know it's Cartman's dad in that very short scene in the unaired original version of Cartman Gets An Anal Probe. Well, the scene takes place at the dinner table at Cartman's house. Standing up is Cartman's mother while sitting down at the table are Cartman's dad and Cartman's little sister. It has to be Cartman's dad and sister because there is a picture of the whole family on the wall in the dining room just behind where Cartman's mother was standing in that scene.
