All I know is that 3 episodes of South Park (Proper Condom Use, Jared Has Aides and Trapped In The Closet) have been banned from UK TV right now, and I just bet many of the recent episodes (Miss Teacher Bangs A Boy, Make Love Not Warcraft, etc) might suffer as well

Any other cartoons that have banned episodes in the UK as well?

Though not banned the birthday party episode of PPG had the mayor's line "Got you, you little bugger" removed

A scene in Lilo and Stitch showing Lilo hiding in the washing machine was digitally altered at the request of UK censors. The soundtrack, however, remained the same.

I think there was a Ren and Stimpy episode that got edited in the UK because the censors over there saw hanging as an imitatible act or something...

Yeah, that did happen, they also intentionally took out "Man's Best Friend" for it's violent content.

Well I heard it was banned back when Sky One had the rights to the show before Paramount Comedy got them

"Jared Has Aides" is banned in the USA on Comedy Central because of Butters being beaten by his parents and Cartman talking about masturbating to it. As far as I know, other countries, including the UK, still show it. It's also shown in syndication.

Nor's Proper Condom Use for that matter.
Trapped in the Closet isn't banned per se either, seeing as it's more down to legal concerns rather than TV regulations.

They cut out the Hanging song on the "Ren and Stimpy Seasons 1+2 DVD" because the censors thought it glorified hanging. However, that was a Home video censorship, not a TV one.

I know that for the longest time, a Season 9 episode of "The Simpsons" known as "The Cartridge Family" was banned in the UK because the plot centers around Homer buying a handgun for the family's protection, then abusing it as a multipurpose tool for pretty much any occasion. I think it finally aired over there within the last year or so, but I'm not sure.

Yep. For years, it was the major selling point for the "The Simpsons- Too Hot For TV" tape. On the more recent DVD packaging, the "Contains a never aired in the UK episode!" promotion is removed.

Well there was the whole Teenage Mutant Hero Turtles feasco in the late eighties early ninties and Mikey losing how weapon all together. Though I don't think the new Turtles had to go though that crap.

*sigh* I love my country, and the BBFC's inherent urge to treat us all like kids...and the Teenage Mutant (Hero) Turtles...

Maybe we should extend this to cartoons in general, then we can include Urotsukidoji 4.

Though it was no episode was banned as far as I know, but in the first season of Johhny Bravo, the word "spaz" was edited and replaced.
US version:
What a spaz.
UK version:
What a turkey.

I know that Early episodes of Beavis and Butthead had Fire references removed and some episodes banned (Examples are Stewart's House and the 2nd part of Way Down Mexico way in which Beavis and Butthead swallow a rubberfull of pills) were those early episodes banned and/or edited in the UK?
