An instance where a work is censored so randomly or ineffectually that the attempted censorship doesn't hide anything and makes you, the viewer, wonder why they even bothered. Perhaps the Censor Box is so small that you can clearly see what's behind it, or a word is bleeped out in some scenes but not in others. Maybe they cut out all the swearing but left in that scene with the women's nudist colony and the tub of bacon grease. At any rate, it's clear that the work is supposed to be censored but ultimately nothing is actually concealed. This trope can occur because of simple incompetence on the censors' part, but it tends to occur on purpose just as often as not. It can be a way of getting back at the Moral Guardians — fulfilling their demand for censorship in a perfunctory and half-asterisked way. This trope can also be Played for Laughs if the writers just want to mess around with the admittedly-funny bleep noises. Alternatively, the writers may "censor" perfectly innocuous content and invite the viewer to imagine something naughty in its place. And on top of all that, inconsistency in the censorship may be the result of a Censor Decoy — an earlier version of the work that was blatantly offensive in order to make the work the writers wanted to produce seem tamer. Compare Clumsy Copyright Censorship, Curse Cut Short, and Narrative Profanity Filter. See also Censored for Comedy, which is what this trope can become. Sometimes overlaps with Never Say "Die" when death occurs onscreen, but nobody is allowed to actually say the words. |

The arcade Groove Coaster games feature what's essentially a Lyric Video, but where the word "cocaine" would be, there's a "danger" sign instead. But the audio is left intact! A better attempt was made in Groove Coaster: Wai Wai Party, by blatantly bleeping out the word as well. | |

A gag reel for the 1970s private eye series Cannon pokes fun at the idea. The gag reel was produced for a cast and crew party and begins with star William Conrad telling the viewers that out of respect to folks in the audience the gag reel bleeps any offensive language. The first outtake proceeds to have every word except the swear words bleeped, causing a flustered Conrad to come on screen again and apologize before heading off-screen telling the editors to bleep the dirty words "and leave the clean ones in!" | |

The Simpsons At some point around season 17 at the latest, it became taboo to show any character's bare butt. Apart from The Simpsons usually airing near Seth MacFarlane shows which lack this rule, there's other reasons why this doesn't make much sense. Earlier episodes occasionally re-air and are not edited to fit this rule, and in the season eighteen episode "Little Big Girl", Bart has an Imagine Spot with a giant gold statue of him mooning — completely uncovered. So apparently it's okay to show one's rear as long as it's depicted in a gold (keep in mind many characters in this show, including Bart, are yellow) statue that resembles them completely. The season seven episode "The Simpsons 138th Episode Spectacular" ended in "hardcore nudity", and featured a montage of all the previous times characters had been naked, including many of the aforementioned butts. This too remains uncensored on reruns. In recent episodes, they've even gotten away with showing cheeks on more than a few ocassions. In "Homer The Whopper", the word "masturbate" was bleeped despite the show using it uncensored twice in "The Father, The Son, and the Holy Guest Star". Parodied in the episode "Pygmoelian", where Moe gets plastic surgery and becomes the male lead in a soap opera. When he thinks his character will be killed off, he gets help from Homer to spoil months worth of plot lines on the air. During this scene, one of the producers says "What the f[bleep]ge?" "Fudge" is a family-friendly swear replacement. |

Tumblr users will sometimes replace single letters in w*rds with asterisks, or put some number of sl//ash/es between letters. Although the intended terms are still obvious to readers, this helps to prevent these posts from appearing in searches, with the slashes in particular often being used when referencing or complaining about communities one wants to avoid interacting with. | |

Aqua Teen Hunger Force: The series had a case like this in a Halloween-themed episode: Also occurs in The Movie, in which one of the Mooninites' uses of "shit" is censored despite the film being R-rated and the same word being uncensored every other time. Carl also utters "fuck" during the Insanoflex scene, and it is bleeped, but so quietly that anyone can hear the word unimpeded. |

The Just Dance games are very inconsistent when it comes to censoring words. All but one of the main games in the series are rated E10+ (Just Dance 2019 was rated E), which means that many songs are bowdlerised. The optional on-screen lyrics denote censored words with "...". The very first game of the series did not contain any censoring at all with the only objectionable word being one use of "hell" each in The B52's "Funplex" and Rednex's "Cotton Eye Joe". Words are typically censored with mutes, distortions, or even re-recorded radio edits. The worst offender is probably "Timber" by Pitbull featuring Ke$ha. Out of the many suggestive lyrics during Pitbull's verses, such as "I have 'em like Miley Cyrus, clothes off, twerking in their bras and thongs", the only word censored in the entire song is "damn" in the second verse, and it is not censored very well; the warp sound used to censor the word comes late and makes it sound more like it's censoring the word after it. "Hell" is not censored in "Funplex", The Ting Tings' "That's Not My Name" (where it is used four times), or Ariana Grande and Zedd's "Break Free", but is in all other songs in the series, even if only used once. In Miley Cyrus' "We Can't Stop", the word is censored in the line "Can I get a 'hell no'" despite backing vocals repeating "Hell no" right after. The reissue of "Cotton Eye Joe" on Just Dance Now and Just Dance Unlimited censors "hell" while the original game did not, unlike "Funplex", which, though currently not available on these games, still does not censor the word according to the song's files that can be accessed on the game's server. "Damn" is not censored in The Rolling Stones' "Sympathy for the Devil", Jason Derulo's "Get Ugly", or in more recent games' reissue of Maroon 5 and Christina Aguilera's "Moves Like Jagger" from Just Dance 4 (the word acting as a censor itself, replacing the word "shit" in the line "I don't give a shit"), but is in all other songs in the series. "About Damn Time" by Lizzo was added to Just Dance 2023 Edition with the title uncensored in all instances, despite all other uses of "damn" in that game and subsequent ones being censored. "Drunk" is censored in Ke$ha's "Tik Tok", Jason Derulo's "The Other Side", and Iggy Azalea and Charli XCX's "Fancy" but not in other songs. "Gun" is censored in "Fancy", though the game uses the official clean version (with "drunk" censored additionally) where the word was already censored. "Sexy" is censored in Ke$ha's "We R Who We R", but not in other songs. "Freakin'" is censored in Psy's "Gentleman", but not in other songs. In fact, the word is used as a censor in Avril Lavigne's "Rock N Roll", where the official clean version of the song replaces "motherfuckin' princess" with "mother freakin' princess". "Booty" is censored in "Bang Bang" by Jessie J, Ariana Grande, and Nicki Minaj but not in "Timber", Technotronic's "Pump Up the Jam", or in Coca-Cola's promotional song "The Choice is Yours", where it even appears in the background. In "Bang Bang", the entire line "back-backseat of my car" is censored with only the last word being audible, but "backseat lover" is not censored in "Walk This Way" by Aerosmith and Run DMC. "Buns" is censored in Snoop Dogg's verse on Katy Perry's "California Gurls", but not in Nicki Minaj's verse in Justin Bieber's "Beauty and a Beat". In Skrillex's "Rock N Roll", "Oh, my God" is censored in the lyrics ("Oh, my ...") but not in the song itself. However, in Bruno Mars' "The Lazy Song", it is censored in both forms in the background lyric "Oh, my God, this is great." The religious exclamation is also censored in The Black Eyed Peas' "I Gotta Feeling", but not in Nick Jonas' "Teacher" (where it is used much more prominently) or in Zay Hilfigerrr and Zayion McCall's "Juju On That Beat", where it even appears in the background twice. "I Gotta Feeling" also censors the word "cup" in the line "Fill up my cup" (which even Kidz Bop didn't censor in their cover of the song!) as well as Fergie exclaiming "Drink!", though similar lines in other songs are not censored, including the more elaborate "Fill my cup, put some some liquor in it" in "Uptown Funk" by Mark Ronson featuring Bruno Mars. Ke$ha's "C'Mon" censors "wine" but not "Budweiser", nor "beer" or "Jack" in "Tik Tok". In Katy Perry's "I Kissed a Girl", the word "cherry" is censored in the line "The taste of her cherry Chapstick", apparently because they thought the word was being used as a euphemism for "vagina", even though it was not in this context. In Demi Lovato's "Cool for the Summer", the word "cherry" is used as a sexual metaphor but it is not censored. Combined with other sexual lyrics, the only censor in the whole song is the expected F-word in the second verse. "Body" is censored in "It's My Birthday" by will.i.am featuring Cody Wise, but not in other songs. In Lady Gaga's "Bad Romance", the first use of "bitch" is muted out completely while all other uses are shortened to "bit" as in the official clean version of the song (but are still displayed as "..." in the lyrics), and "stick" (used as a penis euphemism) is censored despite an echo of the word being clearly heard right after. "Playboy" is surprisingly not censored in Lady Gaga's "Just Dance". Miley's "We Can't Stop" uses the word "line" twice ("And everyone in line for the bathroom / Trying to get a line in the bathroom"), the second use being censored to due to referring to a "line" of cocaine. A spinoff game called Just Dance Summer Party (Just Dance Extra Songs in PAL countries) contained reissues of several DLC songs from Just Dance 2, including the song "American Boy" by Estelle and Kanye West, which has the line "Don't like his baggy jeans, but I'ma like what's underneath them". In Just Dance 2, the line is not censored at all, but in Summer Party, everything after "baggy" is muted. Nelly Furtado and Timbaland's "Promiscuous" (featured in Just Dance 3) censors Furtado's "Feeling on me before you bring that on", but leaves in Timbaland repeating it right after, as well as Furtado confirming her suggestive meaning ("Bring that on?"/"You know what I mean"). The word "freak" and its derivatives (including "freaky" in songs like "Uptown Funk") are usually censored, though, in Alexandra Stan's "Mr. Saxobeat", where it is used prominently in the song's chorus, it is not. Meghan Trainor's "All About That Bass" uses an alternate radio edit with where most of the lyrics relating to her butt are replaced. However, both routines (a female solo and an alternate male/female duet) have suggestive moves during the censored lines that contained "booty", implying that the choreography was written with the uncensored lyrics in mind to begin with. A spinoff karaoke game titled Just Sing also features the song, this time the original version... with all uses of the word "booty" censored. "Swish Swish" in Just Dance 2018 censors the word 'bitch', but not the clear slang reference to the word in the chorus ("Swish swish, bish"). DNCE's "Kissing Strangers" has the word "lap" blanked out of "Put it in his lap" in Nicki Minaj's verse in the lyrics, though it's not edited in the actual song. Ed Sheeran's "Shape of You" has the lyric "Me and my friends at the table doing shots" uncensored in Just Dance 2018 (and any Unlimited play through the 2019 or 2020 versions). The Black Eyed Peas' "The Time (Dirty Bit)" later had the word "shots" blanked out of "I just wanna take some shots" in Just Dance 2020. SZA's "Kill Bill" uses the radio edit where all uses of the word "kill" are censored with a slashing sound, despite the word being in the song's title, which is shown uncensored on the game's menu and at the start of the routine. In newer games, "hell" is usually not censored if it's referring to the "place", but is usually censored in the context of "What the hell?", etc. However, Sam Smith's "I'm Not Here to Make Friends" from Just Dance 2024 Edition does not censor it in the line, "How in the hell you gonna love somebody else?", with one character even lip syncing and gesturing emphatically as the word is said. |

This has lead to jarring instances where you could find channels on the platform that either censors any expletive except for "hell" and "damn" respectively (i.e. Cartoon Hooligans, Amazon), all profanity not allowed on FCC-regulated TV networks (i.e. Screen Junkies, Cracked), censoring "fuck" but not "shit" or other words (React), channels that censor profanity in the titles of their videos, but not in the videos themselves (i.e. kmlkmljkl, Explosm), or channels that go scott-free in the freedom of speech they're allowed to have on the platform (i.e. Anthony Griffy, Channel Awesome). There are also channels that have trouble deciding whether or not to have censored profanity in their videos and risk demonetization as a a result, such as CollegeHumor, Funny Or Die, & Lenarr Young. | |

The official lyric video for Marshmello & Anne-Marie's "FRIENDS" has the words 'shit' and 'fucking' censored on-screen as 'sh�t' and 'fu�king'. While the word 'fucking' is bleeped in the actual song, the word 'shit' is not, making the censorship of the former in the lyrics confusing. | |

Arrested Development often like to time their bleeps so that the cursing was readily apparent. Most notably in a season 2 episode where Gob is warning the Bluth staff to not hit on his sister. The scene starts with him saying, "and no *bleep*cking my sister." Later the episode flashes back to the same speech only they moved the bleep, "and no fu*bleep* my sister." | |

By the time the Altaïr Mii Costume for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate was revealed, Mii Costume trailers weren't allowed to feature the names of M-rated games that characters from them came from, instead presenting them as crossovers with the character rather than their franchise. (For example, Altaïr himself was labeled as "Super Smash Bros. Ultimate X Altaïr".) This includes the Doom Slayer despite his name containing that of his franchise's. | |

Due to being a collaborative series, the SCP Foundation has some inconsistent standards on censorship. To give an example, there's a low number of articles using the standard "[REDACTED]" or black boxes to censor swears, or even specifically reading "[EXPLETIVE REDACTED]" while others leave curse words intact. This is especially evident in the joke SCP page: One title reads "A Steaming Pile of ████"note This isn't Censored for Comedy either; the joke SCP is an actual pile of horse feces even though a few lines above it is "WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT THING." | |

In some TV showings of The Lost Boys, a scene where Michael points to a bush outside their grandpa's window and mimes puffing on a joint was cut, but scenes where vampire bites sent blood flying and graphic tearing of flesh were left intact. In at least one case, the line about "My own brother, a God-damned shit-sucking vampire!" had the word "God" bleeped but not the "damned" that followed it, making it a literal example. | |

The first season of Total Drama was largely censored in America. Replacing words like "crap" and "suck" with "snot" and "stink." Interestingly enough though, both words managed to slip by in the episode "Not Quite Famous" when Bridgette says, "Oh crap!" after destroying Courtney's violin, and when Chris says "and the Killer Bass are totally sucking so far!" Even more baffling is that Bridgette saying, "we already know Tyler sucks," was still changed to "we already know Tyler stinks," in the very same episode. Lindsay's freakout at Heather later in the season was censored as well, which is utterly baffling, since the original version was just a long censor bleep. The US version changes the long bleep to an awkward string of very mild insults. | |

Perhaps due to an error in editing, the bleeps from the Japanese audio of Back Street Girls are still audible in the English dub, despite the audio being uncensored.

The clean version of Lil Jon & The Eastside Boyz' "Get Low" used in Need for Speed: Underground mutes "twerk" when the Ying Yang Twins say it, but allows Lil Jon to tell the females in the audience to "twerk a little harder". In the second game, all references to the police are blanked out... except for in "Riders on the Storm (Fredwreck Remix)" by Snoop Dogg ft. The Doors, which leaves the word "police" uncensored. What makes this even more jarring is that the first game didn't do this. |

Dragon Ball Z Abridged had fun with this trope in one episode where Vegeta's swears are censored by Jeice's scouter beeps (his scouter was acting shonky) except for at the end. Played with at the end of the episode: What makes it funnier is that in the censored version, he clearly says "Son of a g*d-d*mn f*ck beast! Why the f*** does all this f*** sh** happen to me?" |

Facebook tries to automatically flag certain things, such as drug-related terms and threats of violence. The flagging system sometimes misunderstands normal discussions and flags those as well, due to them accidentally containing terms the system looks for. Users get around this not only via creative phrasing and deliberate misspellings, but also by replacing individual letters with asterisks, which doesn't hide anything from actual users, but does allow those users to discuss helping their friend M*lly make m*shr*om soup and w*ed her garden without repercussions. | |

It's left uncensored as Inferno Cop is hauled to jail in episode 3, but every other occurrence is censored by 'fxxx', though 'shit' and other mild-to-moderate profanities are okay. Averted by Crunchyroll, who leave all the F-bombs uncensored. | |

Done in Poker Night at the Inventory, censoring one of Strong Bad's curse words in the line "That is some *bleep*ed up *bleep*, man!" while leaving Tycho's lines like "Fuck this shit," perfectly audible. Averted by the fact that, according to the voice actors, Strong Bad's VA literally DID say "That is some bleeped up bleep". You can go into the options and turn censor bleeps for Tycho on. His subtitles remain censored regardless of what you pick. | |

There are multiple clean versions of Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion's "WAP", all of which end up with inconsistencies: The clean version on Spotify and used for the music video replaces the title phrase with 'wet and gushy'. This prompted social media confusion and even articles about how 'wet and gushy' was just as dirty, if not dirtier. The radio edit uploaded on Cardi B's channel uses 'wet, wet, wet' instead, and is more commonly heard on the radio. However, the sample of Frank Ski's "Whores In This House" used throughout the instrumental only has a slight warp over the word 'whores' (it sounds less emphasized, but you can still clearly tell what the word is). An even cleaner edit is played on some radio stations (including any owned by iHeartRadio). The word 'whores' is censored better, along with a few additional words from the original radio edit, including 'bucket' for unexplained reasons. (Why is it acceptable to bring a mop for the wet, wet, wet but not a bucket?) On top of that, the last time Cardi says 'bucket' at the end of the song, it's not censored. |

When the anime of Gintama uses censor bleeps, they frequently bleep out only a single syllable of the word that's being said. It's clearly being done for the sake of comedy at times, such as when they bleep out the "P" in PSP, only to visibly show somebody playing a PSP with the logo completely in view on the back of it. | |

When Mind Game was shown on Toonami, the words 'fuck', 'fag', 'pussy', and 'cunt' were partially censored in the subtitles as 'f**k', 'f*g', 'p***y', and 'c**t'. However, the actual audio wasn't censored at all, likely based on the logic that the majority of viewers couldn't speak Japanese. | |

Parodied in one issue of Invincible when the story cuts away from an imminent sex scene, prompting writer Robert Kirkman to appear and claim that he wants to keep this comic kid friendly. "This comic" being one absolutely filled to the brim with gorn, profuse swearing, adult drama, and sexual situations far beyond the mundane heterosexual sex that was cut away from. | |

The broadcast dub of Prison School started out avoiding F-bombs, but leaving 'shit' uncensored. However, partially muted F-bombs began to be added to the script after a few episodes and with them, 'shit' began to be muted. One must wonder why they bothered, as the show was already rated TV-MA and the words came out as "f(silence)ck" and "sh(silence)t". | |

JT Music Sometimes bleeps out swear words if the topic they're singing about is more family friendly on average. "The Ooda-Booga Boogie" only has one swear, bleeped out, so it still has a Precision F-Strike feel. "The Bastion Musical" has fun with this trope. The singer Bastion is a Mood-Swinger who goes from singing about his love for the beauty of nature to a extremely profane Killer Robot. All of his cursing is censored out by the various beeps and robotic noises that count for Bastion's "voice" in the video game proper. |

After the success of Saturday Night Fever, Paramount decided to market it to younger audiences that had to miss out by making a "PG Version". This cut removed all uses of "fuck", "shit", and "cunt" either by redubbing lines, cutting them entirely, or using alternate takes with less profane dialogue that were intended for potential TV airings, especially in scenes that had frequent swearing. However, some of the racial and homophobic slurs used throughout the film are still intact, which would be unheard of in a PG-rated movie today. In the PG version, the scene where Tony and Stephanie walk to the car after the dance competition is entirely reshot with alternate dialogue, though "spic" is still retained, and in this take only, Tony ad-libs, "Huh, bitch?", which he did not say in the original R-rated version, and all other uses of "bitch" were removed for the PG version. "Jesus" and "Jesus Christ" were also mostly removed from the PG version, but one use was left in during the scene where Bobby C. plays on the bridge, immediately after a point where another use had been cut. On Australian TV airings, "cunt" is removed. The scene where Tony and Annette walk down the stairs to the dance school abruptly cuts off before Tony's line, "Are you a nice girl or a cunt?", despite the offensive word being redubbed to "pig" in the PG version and American TV airings. All scenes that show characters having sex in cars are cut, but all other profanity is left intact. |

Red vs. Blue went through a very brief period where Rooster Teeth would censor some of the harsher language. This was largely due to email complaints from parents. However, they quickly changed their minds and replaced the clean episodes with uncut ones. This was decided upon because the staff believed they shouldn't be the ones to take care of other peoples' kids and that if questionable material is a problem, Red Vs Blue should be the least of their concerns. | |

When Shrek airs on Nickelodeon, the word "damn" is only censored once out of the multiple times it is used (in Donkey's line "Parfaits may be the most delicious thing on the whole damn planet."). The song "Bad Reputation" by Joan Jett, featured in the fight scene, uses the word several times, and all are intact. The movie's first use of the word, when Donkey's owner calls him "the talkingest damn thing you ever saw", is also uncensored. Much later in the movie, Donkey's line "No one likes a kiss-ass." has "ass" censored in the audio, but it remains uncensored in the closed captioning. | |

Infamously, G4's broadcasting of E3 2011 censored "Mr. Caffeine"'s profanity-laden spiel - but the wrong parts of it. Generally, when Mr. Caffeine said "shit", the actual swear word would be uncensored but would be immediately followed by two or three seconds of censor bleep. The same thing used to happen very frequently in the world of Professional Wrestling when the concept of doing everything live with only a 7-second delay was still new and the timing wasn't yet practiced. It happens far less often now, but the TV audience will hear "I think he's a big pile of shit an——-four weeks ago!" while any later rebroadcast will have the censoring put in properly in post-production. | |

This was a reoccurring problem with the poorly edited version of Daria that was broadcast on TeenNick (then known as The N). Words like 'damn', 'hell', and even 'sucker' were inconsistently edited, sometimes with one instance being left in and one being cut in the exact same scene. Furthermore, fans were upset about the trims for mild profanities, innuendoes, and sometimes mature subject matter when Degrassi: The Next Generation was airing on the same block with no such edits. | |

In Sorcerer Conjurer Wizard Witch, set in the 1930s, a character's profanity-laced tirade is dashed out, as it would have been in a work of the period if it were included at all. However, the first and last letter of each word is left in, and there's exactly one dash for each omitted letter (e.g. "b----r") so any reader can fill in the blanks if they have the vocabulary. | |

Justin Roiland's animated web series House of Cosbys was cancelled after four episodes because of a cease and desist from one of Bill Cosby's attorneys forbidding the creators of the series from ever mentioning Bill Cosby or using his likeness to make fun of him. The unofficial fifth episode made in response began with a version of the theme song where every mention of Bill Cosby's name was poorly bleeped out and black boxes appeared over the faces of the Cosby clones, one of them briefly drifting off of the face it was supposed to be covering. The Unmarketables, one of Roiland's many proto-Rick and Morty shorts, also has fun with this by putting the bleep sound under the two f-bombs so they're still perfectly audible despite the bleep. |

Disco Elysium: As a stylistic rule, the game only censors out the slur beginning with f used to describe gay men, rendering it as "f***t" (or occasionally "f*g"), using static in the audio to reflect this. No other swearing or slurs in the script are censored, including ones of similar severity (like the 'r-' slur for disabled people), which serves to hint at the player character's repression of his own attraction to other men. In The Final Cut, the f- slur is left uncensored in one particular line as an audio editing error (Fuck The World's line about who they are not), revealing the dummy word being used in the studio - "Flaubert". Another line (one of Glen's) has a similar audio editing error of the short version of the slur, in which the expected word is used. |

Any clips of Hazbin Hotel posted on Amazon Prime's social media (the platform that hosts the show), including ads, have hardcoded subtitles that censor all profanities, but the audio is left uncensored. The show's own social media does not censor anything in any form; they actually emphasize the swears in their clips' subtitles by coloring them red. | |

Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Wii U: A visual example, Peach, Rosalina, and Zelda were censored underneath their dresses. Peach has her legs darkened significantly, Rosalina has no lower body except her feet, and Zelda's dress has a covering to not expose her pelvis area. However certain actions make Zelda's lower body clip through her legs completely bypassing the censorship. | |

Sausage Party got censored on FX which is why you hear stuff like "That's super messed up about Bill and those guys", "Man, I hate this job", "Oh, my freakin' freak", "I'll tell you exactly what happened in the Great Beyond, you dumb red piece of crap", "It was you! You fat ugly bagel moron", and "Once you see that stuff, it'll mess you up for life". However the orgy scene was handled differently as it can either be skipped entirely or show a censor bar. In the latter's case the censor bar doesn't help a lot as you can still see what's going on. | |

Parodied in a "radio edit" of the Yogscast Christmas song "Carrot for a Cock", "Carrot for a Nose," wherein every instance of the word "cock" is badly dubbed over by Simon Lane singing the word "nose". This is the only change at all; none of the other lyrics are changed, and even words such as "bellend", "chode" and "dong" are left uncensored. The cover art covers the word "Cock" with "Nose" in Comic Sans and pixelates the carrot without even moving it from the snowman's crotch. | |

Todd in the Shadows tries to show that even he doesn't have any N-Word Privileges during his review Kanye West and Jay-Z's "Niggas in Paris". The first time he had to say the name of the song, he stopped himself and asked for "Ni***as in Paris" to show up on screen. At the end of the review, he almost says it again, but stops once more and points to the bottom of the screen. It now says "Niggas in P***s". He sighs in disappointment. "What the hell do I pay you people for?" | |

Twitter: Users will commonly use very nominal censoring of certain terms or individuals when mentioned in negative terms (e.g. "the people on here obsessed with K*m*l* H*rr*s scare me") because the goal isn't to obscure what is being read and understood, but to prevent malicious or insufferable Single-Issue Wonk posters from searching the name and hassling the user. Twitter doesn't block out searching for asterisks, though, so sufficiently determined termsearchers can still find your wild accusations about the sexual immorality of their favourite comic book artist or whatever it is. Because of this, another common technique is to use sla/shes to div/ide up wo/rds like t/his - the slash prevents Twitter's programming from being able to search for the word at all. Twitter bans users for inappropriate content, like threatening people or encouraging self-harm and suicide, but doesn't use particularly sophisticated means to work this out. For example, responding "I am going to kill you" as a Lame Pun Reaction has led to users losing control of their accounts, as well as users sincerely describing their traumatic experiences as rape victims or their struggles with suicidal ideation. Users will sometimes use asterisks in these sensitive words in order to signal that they don't mean them as threats. (Or, naturally, to get their genuine harassment past the censors.) Twitter's automatic closed captioning for videos, as with YouTube, censors profanities even if they're not censored in the video's audio. They also censor milder words like "buzz" and "snot". |

Somehow, verbal references that acknowledged the shirt were uncensored, yet the word "Dick" was blurred out on the shirt itself.

On Hallmark Channel's airings of The Golden Girls, the word "hell" is censored, but only if a character says, "Go to Hell", and even that is inconsistent; the last line of the episode "Questions & Answers" is Dorothy saying, "Ah, go to Hell, Ma", which is not censored on Hallmark. The word is frequently used in other contexts ("What the hell", "Like hell", "The hell it is", even "Hell no") and is not censored. In the episode "Old Friends", Rose's Precision F-Strike line, "Just cut the crap and get back the damn bear." has "crap" and "damn" censored on Hallmark airings. The latter word is uncensored every other time the word is said in the series, which is often, sometimes even in the same context as in Rose's line, such as Blanche calling a politician a "damn liar" a few episodes later. "Crap" is also not censored in Hallmark airings of the episode "Bang the Drum, Stanley", in which Dorothy says at one point, "How about cutting the crap?" |

South Park: The episode "Le Petit Tourette" left nearly all the vulgarities spewed by Cartman throughout the entire episode uncensored... except for "fuck", which was only used once. The syndicated episodes are censored further, but in ways more pertaining to this trope. A strong example occurs in the syndicated edit of "Cartoon Wars, Part One," where Mr. Garrison originally said "jack off" while writing the same words on the chalkboard. His dialogue now says "jack ***," while the chalkboard now says "**** off." When "The Pandemic Special" premiered in Canada on Much, it was uncensored with the odd exception of Randy’s line “The fuck is a pangolin?� This version of the episode was also uploaded to the Much website. Later, when Much aired a new version that was altered to replace the "Super Best Friends" lunchbox picture, the language was completely uncensored. |

Downplayed in the The Angry Birds Movie due to not using actual swears but in the UK DVD and Blu-Ray version, the movie censored "Pluck My Life" and "Angry Flocking Birds" which is just word play in the US version. What the UK did instead was change Red's lines just to get a U rating. However, watching the movie on Netflix in the UK still kept the original lines. | |

The Legend of Korra is a pretty good example of Never Say "Die" being stretched to its absolute limit; it’s a relatively mature show with a fair amount of violence and death, some of it quite brutal (explosions, fatal electrocution, etc.), but the characters rarely ever use words like 'die' or 'kill', instead defaulting to the softest euphemisms they can find. By the third season it becomes almost laughable, as the show was allowed to depict a woman being graphically asphyxiated to death onscreen by the Big Bad, but apparently saying that she died would just be too traumatic for the kiddies, so everyone only ever describes a vicious murder as someone being 'taken down'. | |

Disney Channel airings of Home Alone cut most uses of the word "hell", but it is left in when Kate asks the agent at the Scranton airport, "Where the hell am I?", even though the closed captioning is edited to say, "Where am I?". Also, despite the Disney Channel edit removing "hell", "crap", and "ass", one use of the word "damn" is left intact (the other is cut out as part of an entire portion of the scene), along with Kevin's line, "Families suck!" ("sucks" is not allowed on Disney Channel's original programming). Some of the violence is also cut rather inconsistently. Kevin shooting Marv in the head with a BB gun is cut so that the shot is not actually shown, but Kevin doing the same to Harry's groin is left unedited. Also, every time Kevin plays the tape of the murder scene from "Angels with Filthy Souls", the shots of Johnny holding the gun are zoomed in so the gun is cropped out, but we still hear the gunfire, and the shots of the victim dropping to his knees and his body continuing to get shot are still intact, making the removal of the gun pointless. | |

This was a common issue for the US version of Radio Disney, who in their final years relied more on in-house edits than artists' re-recordings (though they still happened on occasion). Radio Disney censored the title of multiple songs from the actual lyrics, including Dua Lipa's "IDGAF", Maroon 5's "What Lovers Do", Machine Gun Kelly and Camila Cabello's "Bad Things", and Madison Beer's "Hurts Like Hell". However, all of these except for Madison Beer's "Hurts Like Hell" had the original title appear on Radio Disney's top song charts as well as car radios. In the case of "Hurts Like Hell", the title was censored to "Hurts So Bad" on the chart and car radios but was shown as the original when streaming the station through iHeartRadio. Radio Disney Russia's policy on English swear words seems to be only to censor them if they're loud and clear. For example, in Ariana Grande's "7 Rings", "Been through some bad shit, I should be a sad bitch" is left intact in a softer tone of voice that's easy to miss, but the loud and clear "Bought matching diamonds for six of my bitches" has the "bitches" censored. Radio Disney's edit of The Jonas Brothers' "Cool" changes "Dammit, I'm feeling so cool" to "Man, I'm just feeling so cool"; however, while the song was in popular rotation, they regularly played a promo during commercial breaks (sometimes right after the edited version of the song played) which included a snippet of the song with the original 'dammit' verse. Radio Disney's edit of Ariana Grande and Social House's "Boyfriend" replaces "But you don't want me to touch nobody else" in the chorus with "But you don't want me to see nobody else"; however, the first verse contains the lyric "But I don't wanna miss your touch", and the very end of the song has the original "touch nobody else" lyric. There are multiple Radio Disney edits in which a line is acceptable once but not when repeated, such as Fitz and the Tantrums' "HandClap" ("'cause you've been sinning"), Camila Cabello's "Shameless" ("I do anything I want to you", and Ariana Grande, Miley Cyrus, & Lana Del Rey's "Don't Call Me Angel" ("You can't pay my price"). Radio Disney has historically edited references to lovers being in the backseat together in songs such as Aaron Carter's "Not Too Young, Not Too Old", The Chainsmokers' "Closer", and Hilary Duff's "All About You". However, Loote's "This Is How U Feel" has the repeated verse of "Lying in your backseat, time stops", which is not edited (though the song was tweaked by them to remove a reference to lying to the police). Radio Disney remained uncertain for years as to whether the word 'lover' was even allowed, creating odd situations such as this recording in which Jacob Latimore's "Heartbreak Heard Around The World" has the word "lover" censored in the chorus, with Becky G's "Shower" playing less than a half-hour later with the line "You are my homie, lover and friend" intact. This issue appeared to had resolved by 2019, in which they added Taylor Swift's "Lover" (and later, its remix with Shawn Mendes) to the playlist. The line "Still laying in your bed saying" was cut from Ariana Grande & Justin Bieber's "Stuck with U", despite the fact that Radio Disney has played a song called "Your Side Of The Bed" by Loote and also kept "The bed's getting cold and you're not here" in Selena Gomez's "The Heart Wants What It Wants". Demi Lovato's "Get Back" was edited from "Kiss me, like you mean it" to "Hold me, like you mean it", despite the fact that the act of "holding" someone is generally seen as more intimate than kissing. Jessica Simpson's sultry "Irresistible" had its pre-chorus line changed from "I know I meant to say no" to "Right now I'm gonna say no", creating an odd situation where Simpson breathlessly moans about how irresistible a guy is while at the same time rejecting him. Alex Aiono's "Work The Middle" has the main chorus of "Bring your body, mama, work the middle/Just a little, don't tell nobody". This is changed to "Bring your body, mama, work a little/From the middle, don't tell nobody". This is a completely bizarre change, both because the phrases are just flipped and because "work the middle" doesn't even have an established meaning for Disney to object to. For the implied swearing in the chorus of Cher Lloyd's "Want U Back" ("I don't give a shh"), they simply muted the "shh", making it sound like Cher is actually swearing. |

Bart Baker has a series of videos called Butthurt Comments where he reads butthurt comments on his music video parodies from offended fans of the artist or song being parodied. Baker reads the comments aloud while a screenshot of the comment appears on the screen. Any profanities in the comments are left uncensored in the screenshots but are bleeped out in the audio when Baker reads them. | |

Rat-Man usually resorts to Symbol Swearing, but the story arc parodying The Walking Dead parodied (of course) this trope by having Anubis, the sentient zombie that cosplays Batman, use swearwords with a single letter changed because, as he says, otherwise it would be obscene. | |

The American version of Fire Emblem: Awakening tries to censor Kissing Cousins by having cousins who reach an S support referred to as "Companions" rather than husband and wife. However, all characters have generic event tile quotes they'll say to those they have an S support with, no matter who they are, so "Companions" will still passionately declare their love for each other frequently. | |

At some point around season 17 at the latest, it became taboo to show any character's bare butt. Apart from The Simpsons usually airing near Seth MacFarlane shows which lack this rule, there's other reasons why this doesn't make much sense. Earlier episodes occasionally re-air and are not edited to fit this rule, and in the season eighteen episode "Little Big Girl", Bart has an Imagine Spot with a giant gold statue of him mooning — completely uncovered. So apparently it's okay to show one's rear as long as it's depicted in a gold (keep in mind many characters in this show, including Bart, are yellow) statue that resembles them completely. The season seven episode "The Simpsons 138th Episode Spectacular" ended in "hardcore nudity", and featured a montage of all the previous times characters had been naked, including many of the aforementioned butts. This too remains uncensored on reruns. In recent episodes, they've even gotten away with showing cheeks on more than a few ocassions. | |

Parodied in Third Rate Gamer's Yoshi's Island "review". Certain words like "shit" and "fuck" are partially bleeped out, usually in a way that makes it really obvious what the swear was. However, words like "dickwaffles" and "crap" are kept. | |

"We Are All On Drugs" had to be bowdlerised into "We Are All In Love" in order for the video to get airplay... But the very beginning of the video has a clear shot of Rivers Cuomo reading a newspaper where the real song title is in large print as the front page headline, and this scene wasn't cut or blurred out. | |

The first English dub of Sailor Moon infamously tried to censor the lesbian relationship between Sailors Uranus and Neptune. They did so by declaring Uranus and Neptune were cousins... and changed almost nothing else. So now instead of a normal lesbian relationship, everyone thought they were in an incestuous lesbian relationship. | |

Mountain Time censors nudity during activities like sex and showering, despite the fact that the characters are all stick figures and therefore don't look any different naked than they do clothed. Probably Played for Laughs. | |

Super Smash Bros.: Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Wii U: A visual example, Peach, Rosalina, and Zelda were censored underneath their dresses. Peach has her legs darkened significantly, Rosalina has no lower body except her feet, and Zelda's dress has a covering to not expose her pelvis area. However certain actions make Zelda's lower body clip through her legs completely bypassing the censorship. By the time the Altaïr Mii Costume for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate was revealed, Mii Costume trailers weren't allowed to feature the names of M-rated games that characters from them came from, instead presenting them as crossovers with the character rather than their franchise. (For example, Altaïr himself was labeled as "Super Smash Bros. Ultimate X Altaïr".) This includes the Doom Slayer despite his name containing that of his franchise's. |

The Angry Joe Show very liberally uses angry swearing during particularly strong moments ("You dun' fucked it up!" is practically a catchphrase), and a Running Gag developed of completely failed censoring, usually by censoring the incorrect word (usually something really innocuous instead of actual f-bombs), but sometimes it not going all the way. | |
