While it contains many sketches that were edited from the TV airings, several of the original Sony Screenblast webtoons, and the words "Jesus" and "Christ" as an oath unbleeped (though "fuck" and "shit" are still censored out), the episodes are not all uncut.
One particular segment in the episode "Vegetable Fun Fest" that featured the Teen Titans meeting Beavis and Butt-Head was omitted from the DVD because of legal problems (the version shown on Hulu Plus has the sketch).
