No Smoking is the pilot episode of the animated television series Cow and Chicken.

[edit] Plot

In this episode, Cow wants to play Supercow with Chicken but he says no. Cow knows Chicken smokes and threatens Chicken that she would tell Mom and Dad. Chicken thinks about smoking when he sees that everybody else is doing it. The devil (which is actually the Red Guy; he's just called the devil in this episode because it's the pilot episode) decides to pick on someone, so he asks his henchmen Cerberus who and they reply with none other than Cow and Chicken (assuming that in the show The Devil would always harass Cow and Chicken, which is half true).

The Devil goes up an elevator and takes chicken down to Hell. He would take Cow but She is too big for him to deal with. He is then tortured by smoking a giant cigarette, beaten the Devil then smokes Chicken and coughs quite a bit.

Chicken says that he will never do it again but the Devil says that it's too late. So Chicken calls for Cow's help, then finally decides whats important and calls in the Spanish speaking Supercow to save the day and take chicken from Hell back to their home. Where she makes milk for, Chicken's cereal, which offends Chicken though he has been doing it for years. It is then revealed that the parents have no upper bodies.

The series was assumed to be originally headed in a cynical direction like The Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy which would not come until years later, The way the Devil spoke with his three-headed henchmen makes the viewer assume that they always bother the duo and there is even an elevator in the backyard leading directly to Hell. So due to TV censors much of the show's original intentions were changed.
