Censorship[]
- On reruns and the DVDs, Ewalt's last line in the Hanging song; "Ya'll bring the kids now ya hear!" is cut. However, the bit was reinstated on the TNN/Spike TV rerun. It can be viewed here.
- A brief shot of Abner and Ewalt throwing nooses around their necks that plays while before and during the song (Plays when they say "So get yourself a lasso and decorate your neck" and the footage is substituted with reused footage of Stimpy stomping his foot at the beginning of the song.) is trimmed in most versions of the episode. This edit, like the other one, is also corrected on the TNN/Spike TV version.
- In the UK, the British Board of Film Classification forced Paramount to remove the song "The Lord Loves a Hangin'" from the episode as part of the Series 1 DVD box set in order for it to get a PG certificate because "the subject of hanging is presented [in the song] as comedic, fun and risk free".
