I didn't watch the whole thing, but I kept flipping channels to see what was changed and toned down.

I didn't know you couldn't say penis on TV, cause they reworked the penis pump scene.

Allota Fagina, became Alotta Cleavage..pronounced Cleh-vah-jeh.

Didn't see the whole thing though.

I didn't bother because I have the DVD and would rather watch an unedited movie without commercials.

You can say penis on TV.
Paul's mom said it on an episode of Mad About You.

I'm sure I've heard it on other shows, but that's the only one I can think of.

Maybe they just had a problem with the sheer amount of times its repeated in a one minute sequence.

I watched the whole thing, it was kind of pathetic how badly it was altered.

1. The worst was that the word horny became randy... so we got to hear lots of "Does that make you randy baby?"

2. The Penis pump scene. Instead of saying Swedish Penis Pump it because Swedish Enlarger Pump. The part where he has the book with his picture on it with the guide to using it, its zoomed in so the word Penis is chopped off.

3. Alotta Cleavage instead of Alotta Fagina... Cleavage is pronounced Clee - vaj - ay.

4. The part where he is naked but different objects keep obscuring his genitals... even though the genitals were behind different objects, they still blur the whole area out, which kind of messed up the whole joke.

Probably some more, but those were the ones that really stood out.

Sounds like they really messed up this movie! Wonder how TNT did it?TNT has aired this movie before on TV in the past few years! Thank God I have the DVD of this movie(and it's sequel) so I can watch the unedited version of this movie!Wonder how the censors will hand the sequel of this movie when the big networks air it!?

I watched it while I was working on my PC. It was interesting to see the changes. I did see AP on TBS/TNT awhile back and I don't remember them doing the changes.

Such a double standard at FOX. They air a show like Temptation Island, yet they butcher Austin Powers.
