Like "200", it alludes to several past storylines and controversies from previous South Park episodes, especially Comedy Central's refusal to show images of Muhammad on the network following controversies in 20 when cartoons depicting Muhammad ran in European newspapers, resulting in riots and threats. The episode was written and directed by series co-creator Trey Parker. In "201", a superhero-like group of religious figures team up to save South Park from the celebrities and their monster Mecha-Streisand, while Eric Cartman learns the true identity of his father.
The episode continued multiple storylines from the previous episode, " 200", in which a group of angry celebrities demand South Park produce the Muslim prophet Muhammad. It originally aired on Comedy Central in the United States on April 21, 2010. " 201" is the sixth episode of the fourteenth season of South Park, and the 201st overall episode of the series. Comedy Central was responsible for censoring the audio, drawing heavy criticism from audiences who felt the network did so in response to Muslim violence threats.
Muhammad is visually obscured by a black box. During the original broadcast and DVD release of the episode the speech is completely obscured with a continuous audio bleep. Kyle gives a satirical speech about the effectiveness of threats and violence.
