“South Park” is putting TV in the toilet again.

The potty-mouthed animated cable comedy is pushing the envelope farther than ever this week – by cramming 163 un-bleeped utterances of the word s— into this week’s show.

And you don’t even have to keep count – the episode features an on-screen meter to tally every use of the fecal expletive.

The word typically is banned from broadcast and basic-cable.

Comedy Central officials said the episode, first aired Wednesday night, was intended to raise questions about certain ethics and values in language by using comedy.

The breakthrough episode repeats at least three more times: 10 p.m. Saturday and 2:30 a.m. and 11 p.m. Sunday.

“What is it about a word like ‘s—,’ which really is commonly used, that makes people think it is offensive?” said Comedy Central executive vice president Bill Hilary.

And viewers were not turned off by the show’s dirty dialogue, as about 3 million tuned in.
