In 2010, the episodes ''200'' and ''201'', the 200th and 201st episodes respectively, caused controversy for depicting Muhammad.  The celebrities that South Park has mocked over the years band together, and they decide that they need Muhammad, as they believe he is "unmockable," given the reactions to a Danish newspaper's printing of critical cartoons of Muhammad.  Following the airing of the episode 200, threats were made against the creators of South Park.  In ''201'', several minutes of dialogue at the end of the episode were bleeped out.  The episodes are not available for streaming on the internet or on Netflix on Demand.  Despite the flurry of controversy surrounding the depiction of Muhammad, the prophet was depicted in the episode ''Super Best Friends'' with no controversy.
