why?

They had their cuss box's settings turned all the way up. It would block it out every time someone said Woody's name.

Yep. This is what happens when you bleep something innocent:

At first, though, I saw this post and was like, "Oooh, goodie! A place to go and just scream things out... that ^**#-i*#&*@, &#()@, son of a &(@(*#!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

that is exactly what I thought too.

I voted for Never Watched TV With One. But, that's just because they hadn't been invented before I moved out of my parent's house. I recently replaced my dad's TV with a modern LCD panel, and in the process of hooking everything up, I discovered an extremely dusty plastic...thing?...with RCA jacks running into it through a splitter and jacks running out. I asked Dad, "What, on EARTH! Is this?" He told me it took out all the dirty words on TV programs.

I had never seen anything like that before.

Unfortunately, for my dad, the box was not compatible with current cabling, so I offered to try to harness the powers of the Internet in order to procure a modern equivalent. I also told him he could avoid bad programming choices by NOT WATCHING BAD PROGRAMS in the first place.

Thankfully, he said he didn't care if I unhooked it. So, I tossed it in a box and threw it out. This is the same man who threw a brick through our family's television when I was five (he did it outside, not in anger, he wanted the cabinet) and so we didn't have a television again until I was a teenager, and then only because my brother was dying of cancer and my grandmother felt bad that he was confined to a bed.

While I was installing Dad's new idiot box--more of an idiot PANEL, I guess--my sister-in-law showed up to be nosy, and went on and on about how her and my brother decided when they were married never to have a TV in their house. Thanks for sharing...you smug dingbat.

I guess I should have voted for number one in the poll, but I didn't immediately understand what the OP was referring to with a "cuss box".

That video is so awesome with the bleeps. OK, challenge time. Everyone watch the "count" video above and insert the "f" word when it beeps.
By doing so you will hear gems like......"when I'm alone I beep myself" and "I want to beep forever" and "I'll beep till I drop". Not to mention beeping the spider and candles!!

I can't figure out what the original word was... lol

Oh, ok. I figured it out. It was originally about counting.

That video's absolutely terrible, but I can't say it didn't make me crack a smile.
