"Broad City" Is Now Bleeping Trump on the Internet, Too

"Broad City" made headlines over the summer when co-creators Ilana Glazer and Abbi Jacobson announced they planned to censor President Donald Trump's name on their new season, which is currently airing on Comedy Central.

Now, the comedy is taking that vow one step further by lending its brand to the available Trump filters on the internet.

On Wednesday, Comedy Central announced a new browser extension themed around the show.

"Tired of hearing the president's name or even reading it online? Broad City definitely is," a statement from the network explains. "In honor of tonight's "Tr**-heavy episode," the network released the filter that "just like this season of Broad City, will censor Tr**p's name, but this time across the internet."

Once downloaded and installed, the "Trump-No-More" tool converts every text mention of Trump to Tr**p.

The "Broad City" team worked with a developer to build the custom extension for Google Chrome, with the idea sprouting from themes tackled during the season.

Other similar extensions available will remove Trump completely from the browser, but the "Broad City" minds, led by Jacobson and Glazer, wanted a tool that would allow show viewers to stay informed, but without having to be constantly confronted with his name.

The extension is available now at www.broadcity.com

Comedy Central’s Broad City is known for its outrageously inappropriate humor. But Wednesday, October 26th’s episode, “Witches,” went beyond outrageous into extremely bizarre and depraved. One thing is clear after watching this shockingly vulgar episode…Broad City does not care about or welcome conservative viewers.
