When aired on Disney Channel, Cartoon Network, Fox, NBC, AMC or ABC Family/Freeform, some scenes were edited like:

Same thing as original film: Kevin says "I'm down here, you morons!" and "I'm down here, you idiots!" instead of his original line "I'm down here, you big horses' ass!"

Marv shouts "YOU KID!" and then attempts to throw a brick down to Kevin, instead of "SUCK BRICK, KID!!!"

Kevin says "Yeah, with me being beat up on" instead of "Yeah, with me getting crapped on".

When Fox Studios and ABC Family/Freeform aired the movie in 2001 after 9/11, the scene featuring Kevin on the top of the World Trade Center and Twin Towers is edited out to avoid association with the September 11 attacks, out of respect for the victims. However, the scenes with the World Trade Center have been since been restored.

The television version has about 20 minutes of the film cut out in small instances to run in the time slot of 2 hours plus commercials as the film is exactly 2 hours long. For the full version to be aired on TV, it would probably last 2 and a half hours.

The scene where Marv is hit with the last three bricks was cut, showing only the scene where Marv is hit with the first brick. In addition, the scene where Marv gets stapled three times, removes the staple from his nose, and the tool chest scene are also cut. These scenes have since been fully restored.

In December 2019, the scene featuring Donald Trump was removed in Canadian broadcasts.

The scene where Kevin is spreading out the blueprint plan for Operation Ho. Ho. Ho. The setup scene is cut out entirely and cuts to Kevin taking a wood plank and cans down the sidewalk.
