On April 5, 2006, Cartoon Wars Part I was first broadcast on Comedy Central and included within it a parody of a Family Guy episode in which the lead character, Peter Griffin, walks with Mohammed to buy some iced tea from Mr. The convoluted, self-referential plot of the double episode revolved around the (fictional) plan of a rival televised cartoon, "Family Guy," to show Mohammed on one of its episodes, sending the South Park residents into a panic that terrorists will retaliate against everyone in America. On April 5 and 12, 2006, two related South Park episodes, entitled Cartoon Wars Part I and Cartoon Wars Part II, both focused on the controversy surrounding depictions of Mohammed - but ultimately, neither episode ever showed Mohammed directly, instead each time representing him as a black box indicating that his image had been censored.
Lao-Tzu, Krishna, Joseph Smith and Mohammed. Mohammed points something out, after the climactic battle. Jesus explains something to Joseph Smith, Buddha and Mohammed. Mohammed's super-power was the ability to shoot fire from his hands. (Moses, the final member of the team, is depicted in the episode as a computer-generated hologram without human form, and never leaves the Super Best Friends headquarters.) The seven main Super Best Friends: Lao-Tzu, Joseph Smith, Mohammed, Jesus, Sea-Man, Buddha and Krishna.

The plot of "Super Best Friends" involves a team of religious superheroes - in particular Jesus, Mohammed, Buddha, Moses, Joseph Smith, Krishna, Lao-Tzu and "Sea Man" - trying to free the South Park boys from a cult. Comedy Central, South Park's parent network, had no problem with Mohammed appearing on the show at that time. As a result, the episode generated no protests, no terror threats, and no censorship.
The first South Park episode featuring Mohammed as a character, and the only one to ever realistically depict him, was titled " Super Best Friends," and aired without controversy on J- before 9/11, and thus before most fundamentalist Muslims were aware of what was happening in American culture.

Over the years, Mohammed has been a character in five different episodes of the animated television sitcom South Park - but only in the first of the five Mohammed-themed episodes was he ever actually shown in full - while in the other four, Mohammed is either depicted as a censor's black box or is disguised in some other way.

Jesus tells Mohammed not to be jealous, saying that if they were in Mecca, Mohammed would be the popular one. The plot revolves around four religious figures trying to enjoy a meal at an upscale New York restaurant but who are constantly interrupted by fans of Jesus asking for his autograph and for him to perform miracles. On January 28, 1989, the television comedy show Saturday Night Live broadcast a sketch entitled "Jesus Christ Celebrity" which featured an actor portraying Mohammed. Every instance of Mohammed appearing in these broadcasts, as well as several lesser-known videos and shows, are presented below. This section of the Mohammed Image Archive focuses exclusively on representations of Mohammed that have appeared in moving images, in particular:īy far the most famous among these are the various appearances of Mohammed in the animated television cartoon South Park, as well as the live-action film Innocence of Muslims, since in both cases the publicity surrounding Mohammed's appearance (or possible upcoming appearance) spurred riots and protests which lead to deaths worldwide.
