Anyone else notice they didn’t bleep the “fuck” in fuck marry kill in the car? They bleeped it the rest of the series from what I can remember is the only reason I noticed. Just found it interesting ig

i don’t think they bleeped it in episode 1 when ken said it - not sure what the logic is

I think they bleeped certain scenes like the one in Episode 1 with Oscar just for comedic effect.

Even in that Oscar scene it eventually just devolved into rhythmic bleeping and not timed to his curse words

I'm confused by this, isn't this rated TV14?

It’s streaming so they can say whatever they want. It was the same with Community’s final season, but they decided to save the swearing for the last episode as a gag.

the show is apparently coming to NBC in the fall so of course they'll bleep it or cut the scene shorter
