* SparedByTheAdaptation: The original ending had the runaway cows being feasted on by the aliens. In the aired cut, they make friends with them and later manage to evade Barbrady by hypnotising him with the visitors' device.

Added DiffLines:
* AdaptationalNiceGuy: Many characters were much meaner in the unaired cut.
** There was a scene where the boys tricked Pip into going down a dangerous slide at the playground (causing him to hit his head against the swing set pole), and then laughed at his injury. This scene is skipped in the actual episode.
** Kyle was originally much meaner to Ike, kicking the baby around a third time after promising Ike he wouldn't, and saying that he couldn't believe he was so worried when he thought he was gone forever. Like the previous, this scene is nowhere to be seen in the aired cut.
** In the original climax, Chef showed up with his car to help the boys, [[DirtyCoward only to bail on them when the aliens arrive.]] In the aired version, this scene is changed to Chef trying to impress two ladies in his condo with the arrival of the visitors.
** Originally, there were lines to imply Barbrady was a part of the government cover-up, while in the aired version, this was changed to him being blissfully unaware of what's going on.
** The aliens' goal in the unaired version was to eat the cows, [[TheBadGuyWins which they're shown doing at the end]], while in the actual episode the few who died were killed accidentally by a rookie member, and they only wanted to investigate and run tests on them. Later in the episode, they even gift the cattle with a hypnosis device as compensation and thanks.

back shows that, deep down, he ''does'' care about his little brother. He also defends him from Cartman's insults early in the episode.
