Trivia / South Park S 4 E 14 Pip

• Bury Your Art: Though not one of the banned episodes, Trey and Matt's dissatisfaction with it, along with the poor fan reception, has resulted in it rarely re-running on Comedy Central. The combined stigma of this episode and the similar "Not Without My Anus" also made Trey and Matt realize that their audience didn't like tuning in to see anything other than the four main boys (or Randy), and they swore off ever doing episodes of this nature ever again.
• Creator Backlash: Everyone working on this episode (except for Matt Stone) hated it, none the least of which was Trey Parker himself, who felt the concept was too ambitious. About the only saving grace of the experience for Parker and Stone was how much they enjoyed getting to meet and working with Malcolm McDowell.
• Out of Order: This episode was originally supposed to air in June 2000. Due to its longer than expected production time, it didn't premiere until that November after nine other episodes had already aired, though as a completely out-of-continuity episode it didn't affect any ongoing arcs.
