Censored for Comedy | comment |
When a show removes a perfectly innocuous word or words in a sentence, giving it dirty connotations. This can be done intentionally for comedy, to parody censorship, or unintentionally as a result of actual censorship. Intentionally bleeping out sections of innocent dialogue to make it sound dirty for comedic purposes has become known as Unnecessary Censorship. Depending on the medium, may be used in conjunction with Narrative Profanity Filter, Symbol Swearing, Fun with Subtitles, or Saying Sound Effects Out Loud (if someone says "bleep"). Compare and contrast Signs of Disrepair, Innocent Innuendo, Accidental Innuendo, Partially-Concealed-Label Gag. See also Cluster Bleep-Bomb, Sound-Effect Bleep, Manipulative Editing, Scunthorpe Problem, *Bleep*-dammit!, Smurfing, and T-Word Euphemism. If Played for Laughs, particularly if it makes the listener wonder just what was said, then it is often an instance of Nothing Is Funnier. |

The December 5, 1986 telecast of The $25,000 Pyramid has Dick Clark playfully pressuring celebrity player Vicki Lawrence to pick the category with the Mystery 7 as it offered a car to the contestant as a bonus prize. Vicki just glared at Clark and said: "You're just really being a (bleeped) today, aren't you?" The audience howled with laughter and Clark was looking for a place to hide. Vicki eventually picked the category "Loosen Up," and we have a good idea of what word was bleeped as the audience went into sustained laughter when Clark read what the category was about: "Things that are stiff." | |

In Tenchi Muyo! GXP, the freshman boys' attempts to sneak out of the dorms for the night are hampered by air guns that mark them with an obscene symbol or image that is both embarrassing in and of itself but also exposes them as having tried to sneak out of the academy. Said mark is completely pixelated. | |

An odd example in JonTron's video about quicktime events: the show gets the temporary title "Sh*t that F*cks Games Up"; when Jon says the title out loud, every word EXCEPT "shit" and "fucks" is censored. Two moments in his look at Are You Afraid of the Dark?. In Part 1, when the old man says the two brothers can provide a "specimen", he holds up a pixellated jar of a hand that makes them scream and run away. In Part 2, when Andy is trying to show his mom the haunted voice that came from the basement closet: In his episodes about Goosebumps (1995), he points out the Accidental Innuendo with some of the dialogue (e.g. "Are you growing hair in weird places?" between two teenagers), culminating in the main character checking his stomach to find more. Naturally, Jon blurred it out to make it look a bit further south, which cues the FBI to stop the video entirely. And of course, this gem from Food Fight: |

MythBusters: The famous clip of Jamie saying "That's what we do on MythBusters: We blow bleep up!" When the clip was aired without the bleep for the "Favorite Myths" special, Jamie clearly says "crap", which is a borderline bleepable word in the U.S. (but often considered "optional"). The episode "No Pain, No Gain" tested a myth that swearing increased a person's tolerance to pain. To help the editors out (so they wouldn't have to blur people's mouths), Adam built a "curse-proof tool", a piece of headgear with a "visor" that could be lowered over the mouth. Adam's test of the device resulted in the sound editors spelling out "HELLO" in Morse code. Later, Tory jumped the gun during the control test (where he was supposed to be shouting non-swear words only), and his stream of swearing was censored in much the same way (appropriately, this time the Morse code spelled out the word "HURTS"). |

Done so very many times on Whose Line Is It Anyway?, thanks to a combination of Genre Savvy and Medium Awareness. One suggestion in the ever-popular Scenes From a Hat game actually challenged the players to make the censors do this. And, of course, the time Brad decided to make his fingers go blurry. Note that the show uses censored bars instead of blurring. |

In Frankenstein, there is a scene where the Creature is playing with a little girl, throwing flowers into a pond. After they are out of flowers to throw, he looks for something else pretty to throw into the pond, and chooses her, not understanding that she would drown. His killing the girl accidentally was deemed too intense for audiences of 1931, so execs cut off the scene just as he reached for her, jumping to her bereft father carrying her lifeless body back to town. Unfortunately, it might have caused audiences to think that the Creature murdered her instead of an innocent mistake or something accidental. | |

The game show Catchphrase is played by guessing the phrase associated with an animated scene. Correct guesses earn a chance to guess the round's main puzzle — which is uncovered 1/9th at a time. In one famous incident, the contestants and host Roy Walker struggled to contain themselves when the uncovered squares made it appear that the show's mascot, Mr. Chips, was pleasuring himself. The answer was "Snake Charmer". | |

Anti-Idle: The Game's Battle Arena: There is a secret area accessed through th e Pirate Ship, called the Censor Ship. On the Censor Ship, the background clouds and the regular enemies are censored out, and one of the enemies is the "Censor Sheep". Enemies here have a chance to drop Censor equipment, which take on the appearance of black rectangles of varying proportions. One of the status effects conceals some of the Battle Arena interface elements with "CENSORED" bars. One skill you can learn is called "potion [PROFANITY] 1/5". |

The Japanese version of "Slacker 0, Good Guy 1" in the "Teach Me, Miss Litchi!" section does this rather interestingly. When Litchi's slip of the tongue nearly leads to a mention of Chipp Zanuff, she is cut off by a "GANTORETTO HÄ€DESU", courtesy of Tomokazu Sugita. And in the next segment which features Iron Tager, there's also the usage of this trope when describing Kokonoe trying to put a Rocket Punch-esque technology to Tager's certain vital part. Which is covered by either Kenji Nomura giving his own version of "GAUNTLET HADES!" or an existing voice clip of "GIGANTIC TAGER!!". The latter caused the joke to become even funnier. | |

Done to comedic effect on Arrested Development. The bleeping makes the cursing funnier than if it were left in and preserves the generally light-hearted tone of the show. In one scene, in particular, Buster is being encouraged by his siblings to gently deride their mother; Buster gets over-excited and launches into a string of epithets that are mostly bleeped out and goes on for quite some time while the increasingly shocked expressions of those around him convey just how big a leap down the slippery slope he has taken. Another one that gets Lampshaded by the Lemony Narrator involves a British woman named Rita calling Michael by a word that gets repeatedly bleeped out, even though the British usage is non-profane and meant as a compliment. After one such occurrence in an otherwise heartwarming scene: |

In 1987, portions of a televised "debate" between Ken Patera and Bobby "the Brain" Heenan –- as part of a build-up surrounding Patera's return to the WWF as a babyface, after serving a two-year prison sentence for a real-life vandalism incident –- were "bleeped." Mostly, this was Heenan insulting Patera and calling him a criminal who was unworthy of respect or redemption. | |

Several instances in the Austin Powers movies. In Austin Powers in Goldmember, there is a scene where Austin visits Mr. Roboto in his office looking for his father in Japan. He speaks Japanese to Austin for most of the scene but is revealed to have known how to speak English the entire time, so subtitles are used to translate his words into English. The subtitles are displayed in white, and coincidentally, many objects in the office also happen to be white. Austin is aware of the subtitles, and as a result of carefully aligned camera angles, certain words in the subtitle are blotted out, creating seemingly dirty phrases which elicit shocked reactions from Austin. Of course, once the objects blocking the subtitles are removed, the phrase is revealed to be perfectly normal. Mr. Roboto and Austin lampshade heavily on this trope. "Please eat some shitake mushrooms.note They're actually spelled "shiitake"" "Your assignment is an unhappy one." "I have a huge rodent problem." And at the end of the scene, Austin says "I do have a huge rod.... I wish." Austin isn't the only one. The third phrase results in Roboto's female assistant shockingly covering her lips after reading it. For reference, she's Japanese, so she should understand what he said without reading English subtitles. |

SCP Foundation commonly censors out things to make articles scarier (or to remove names and dates). Thus, multiple joke articles will use the same tactic for the opposite effect. For example, SCP-1960-J states that testing is to be suspended for a censored reason, but anyone familiar with the Apollo program will realize that nothing spooky happened, NASA's budget was just cut and they couldn't afford any more lunar missions. | |

The episode End Game from Homicide: Life on the Street had these news interview segments interspersed with the real-time events of catching and interrogating the suspected shooter of the three detectives. Meldrick's interview is notable in that the, not-usually profane, Meldrick takes the opportunity to swear at the reporters, each of these instances covered with a 'bleep', which adds humour to an otherwise fairly bleak episode. | |

Full Metal Panic? Fumoffu: Episode 7 has tons of censoring speech by S�suke, who was quoting verbatim all the lines from the exceptionally foul-mouthed Gunny from Full Metal Jacket, in order to butch up the sissy-pants rugby team. One of the best examples in anime (and one of the funniest as well). The Beach Episode has another kind of humorous censoring. When S�suke notices that Kaname has gone missing, he (incorrectly) assumes she was kidnapped again, and that her kidnappers will probably try to do something naughty to her. Cue an Imagine Spot of strange pink and purple things assaulting Kaname while she's screaming at them to stop. The Pixellation makes it look risqué, but pay close enough attention and you'll notice she's just being tickled all over with feathers. |

Episode 19 of Dragon Ball Z Abridged has a sequence where Vegeta drops a Cluster Bleep-Bomb in response to the Ginyu Force showing up. Jeice happens to pick that time to fiddle with his scouter, perfectly censoring Vegeta's tirade. The Post-Credits Scene plays the audio unbleeped, revealing that it's all innocuous stuff like "Son of a gum-chewing funk monster!" and "Find me in the Alps!" (the latter an homage to the TV edit of The Big Lebowski). | |

BlazBlue does this humorously. Kokonoe in one "Teach me Miss Litchi" segment says she would use the rocket punch extension on his GIGANTIC TAGER!! She does this again in Rachael's Gag Reel with Ragna the Bloodedge's attack names, as seen here. The Japanese version of "Slacker 0, Good Guy 1" in the "Teach Me, Miss Litchi!" section does this rather interestingly. When Litchi's slip of the tongue nearly leads to a mention of Chipp Zanuff, she is cut off by a "GANTORETTO HÄ€DESU", courtesy of Tomokazu Sugita. And in the next segment which features Iron Tager, there's also the usage of this trope when describing Kokonoe trying to put a Rocket Punch-esque technology to Tager's certain vital part. Which is covered by either Kenji Nomura giving his own version of "GAUNTLET HADES!" or an existing voice clip of "GIGANTIC TAGER!!". The latter caused the joke to become even funnier. This is also done in the "Spring Raid" special of "Blueradio". Tetsuya Kakihara is sometimes referred to as "the German guy" by other members of the cast. "Deddo Supaiku" becomes a convenient censor for the nickname during the broadcast. In various incidents, Noel's cooking has a censor mosaic over it to convey that whatever she made is not to be consumed. At least one person compared it to a metaphysical phenomenon in his own world. |

Infamously used in The X-Files episode "Jose Chung's From Outer Space". Scully is telling a popular writer about a rather absurd case she and Mulder recently had. One of the many problems she encounters is the fact that the detective they worked with on the case had a serious potty mouth, so she has to censor his colorful language. Thus in every flashback sequence, characters literally say "bleep" in place of swears. This gets increasingly hilarious as the episode goes on. | |

The unnecessary censorship variant, with words being bleeped out, is used quite often in Kingdom Hearts but it's silly, which has the effect of making the original cutscenes much Ruder and Cruder. There are a particularly large amount of bleeped-out words when the X-Blade, called the (BLEEP)-Blade here, is discussed, given the process required to make it. | |

Borderlands: Every CL4P-TP model has a self-censorship program installed that automatically bleeps swear words if they try to speak them. This is most commonly displayed by Claptrap whenever he's having a manic episode. Borderlands 2: Mr. Torgue apparently had a censorship device implanted in his voice box by his company's shareholders, because swearing is, in his words, "half my f**kin' vocabulary." |

Haruhi Suzumiya: It wasn't a literal bleep, but some people found Mikuru's "I tried to contact but they said Classified Information, etc.," thing in "Endless Eight" similar to this. Especially when you consider what could be in there. Kyon even asks whether it's meant to censor something obscene. Haruhi gets bleeped in the anime as she blackmails the computer science club president to give her a computer by taking photos of him groping Mikuru. In the event he tries to deny it, Haruhi says she'll say all the male thugs ganged up on Mikuru and *BLEEP* her. Although, in the novel, she explicitly says she'll accuse them of gang rape. |

Can happen occasionally on Jerry Springer or Maury. They are cutting out actual swear words, but most of the time, this is an audience member saying/shouting it, not the hosts or the guests. This can result in bleeping out parts of a sentence the host was saying that were perfectly fine. | |

In Series 6 of They Think It's All Over, following team captain Gary Lineker's replacement as the face of Walker's Crisps by Michael Owen, presenter Nick Hancock announced in one episode that the word "Walker" would be treated as a swear word and bleeped. Unsurprisingly, the bleeping was done in such a way that it sounded as though they were instead censoring the word "wanker", especially in the final round, "The Name Game", in which Lineker and his teammate Fred MacAulay had to identify a series of athletes all named "____ Walker". | |

Gintama uses this at times, usually to censor the names of copyrighted material, and also to make things sound perverted when they aren't (which almost always get lampshaded by somebody). The Pixellation they apply to poop and vomit probably could count, as well. Invoked in-universe during a recap episode, where Gintoki proudly shows a clip of him saying the quote that was voted most popular by fans, only for Shinpachi and Kagura to try making it sound perverted by censoring parts of it immediately after. Episode 252, which the cast devotes to apologizing to all the viewers they might've offended (Due to it having been planned as the final episode at the time), has this in spades. They censor things that normally aren't censored, such as the names of copyrighted material they got away with mentioning in previous episodes and Kondo's butt. They also add a Censor Box saying "We're sorry" on top of Kondo's already pixelated groin (though while having him pose in a fashion that emphasizes it and zooming in with each take...). Then Gintoki points that they can make vomiting less offensive by covering up the sound of it with something else, which leads to pleasant music playing while he, Kagura, and Shinpachi puke their guts out for about 10 seconds straight. |

Shimoneta: While much of what Ayame says and the pictures she shares in her Blue Snow persona do have to be censored in order to meet Japanese broadcast standards, the anime's production staff decided to take advantage of this by using cartoonish caricatures of her and strategic bleeps to go for this. Played with in the English dub; some images are still censored for comedic effect but all the language is uncensored. | |

A common practice in comedy anime in general is to censor any names of anime/manga not from the production studio. Partially because of actual copyright laws, and it's funnier that way. Anime like Lucky Star, Pani Poni Dash!, and Baka and Test: Summon the Beasts love to replace one letter with an asterisk to censor the name while still giving enough of a clue of what they're referring to. Sometimes they censor a different letter each time, making it even more obvious. | |

Haruhi from Ouran High School Host Club sometimes uses the masculine personal pronoun "ore" for herself.

Several examples in RedLetterMedia 's series Best of the Worst: Taking advantage of it being in German, they bleep Rich Evans at random times while phonetically reading the back of the box of Mad Foxes. The intro of the same episode opens with "In light of recent world events, the opening of this episode has been heavily censored out of respect for all involved", followed by 90% of Rich and Josh's dialogue getting bleeped out. In Home Alone 4: Taking Back the House, when Kevin is lip-syncing and dancing, they blur him entirely when he takes off his robe. |

Helluva Boss features Stolas. When he swears (sometimes profusely), he is usually (but not always) censored. No one else in the show is censored. In "Loo Loo Land", he even calls out Blitzo and his daughter for "language", after they swore in response to his own crude language. It's not so much that Stolas is swearing, but rather that he's often excessively and graphically describing his sexual desire toward Blitzo. The F-bombs are heard. The audience can only imagine what obscene things he's describing. |

Wheel of Fortune: While incomplete puzzles with blanks that could lead to extreme profanity have been fodder for several animated program gags, the situation has arisen several times on the real-life game show. One episode from the mid-1980s used the puzzle DAVID HASSELHOFF. At one point, the H's and E's had not been revealed, but the A's and S's were… and Pat Sajak was sure to point things out. Another episode featured the puzzle BARBECUE SPIT, with the P not yet revealed. At one point, a contestant guesses "H" ... and then a buzzer sounds. Pat: "Happily, no" (to audience laughter). One game had everything but the I revealed in the second word of PIANO RECITAL. Yet another was ASSEMBLY & THE DOTTED LINE (a "Same Name" puzzle). S and A were the first two letters called. Another example: MARCO POLO SHIRT (Before & After). At one point, everything but the R was showing on the bottom word. When R finally was called, Sajak said, "Thank you!" There's a fake video floating around featuring the puzzle CLAM DIGGER. With only the D not revealed... only that the contestant guesses "N". |

In Catch-22, Yossarian is given letters to censor while in hospital. To relieve the boredom, he censors random words rather than actual valuable information. For one letter, just for the hell of it, he blanks out the entire thing and replaces the text with a fake love letter purportedly from one of the other characters. It leads to some unpleasant consequences. |

hololive: In the Hololive Shuffle Medley music video, Haachama's segment has her covering Marine's "I'm Your Treasure Box", a song rife with innuendo with Marine at her lewdest. Haachama's dance has her start off in Marine's costume, and ends with her stripped down to her bathing suit which is pixelated for comedic effect. | |

Spider-Man: In The Amazing Spider-Man (J. Michael Straczynski), a Video Editor for a News Station was pulling out archive footage of Spider-Man in battle, all of which involved Spider-Man swearing (covered with bleeps), one of which involved more 'bleeps' than words and one incident where, fighting a Sentinel, Spider-Man says 'Hey buddy, that's not a bag of peanuts you're crushing!'. | |

Robot Chicken, being the kind of show it is, censors all the time. Then in one sketch, a death-row convict is asked what he wants for his last meal and he says, "Your wife's *bleep*." The prison guard sighs and calls his wife, telling her to bring her famous lasagna to the prison again, and then points out that they need to replace the battery in a smoke detector that made the actual bleep sound. | |

Harley Quinn (2019) has a strange version of this trope. Within the show itself, the swearing is uncensored (except for Country Matters), but the promos will both bleep out the swears while still focusing on them to show just how "Mature" the cartoon is. However, the promos go a tad overboard and will bleep out dialogue even if the character wasn't actually swearing, just to make it sound like they are. | |

Leverage features a visual rather than audio example of this trope. In "The Office Job," the characters are performing a con at a greeting card company and during talking-head interviews (a documentary film crew is filming there at the same time — the episode is an homage to The Office) characters hold up a blurred-out greeting card. | |

Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Maid: Fafnir's "Curse Anthology", his attempt at making a manga, is completely pixelated to the viewers. Tohru points out that he put actual instructions of real curses, including how to kill people. She also mentioned that selling it at 1000 yen is quite a bargain. Tohru's Christmas present for Kobayashi was some weird and still living thing from her world she'd have to grind up and apply to her back to get rid of her back pain. Some of the leftover ingredients from Tohru's omurice are still wriggling by the time Kobayashi gets back home. |

Sponge Bob Squarepants: In the Dutch dub of "Krusty Love", Spongebob's Angrish rant is made even more profane-sounding with the addition of bleep sounds. Also invoked at the end of "Sailor Mouth", where "swearing" by Mr. Krabs' mom ends up actually being Old Man Jenkins' car (also seemingly implicating that the dolphin noises used to censor dialogue earlier actually were the swears). |

A certain game on I'm Sorry I'll Read That Again and I'm Sorry I Haven't a Clue does this to songs. In addition to the example above, there was a version of "My Favourite Things" from The Sound of Music in which everything except the "and"s and "...all tied up with string; these are a few of my favourite things" was bleeped. One ISIHAC Christmas special played the Censorship Game with "I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus". It worked very well indeed. So did one with "Underneath The Arches" ("...I [buzz]note dream my [buzz]note dreams away.") Two songs give a taster of what this round was all about. Panel members would listen to a song hitherto thought cleaner than Whistler's Mother and deliberately insert bleeps to make it sound filthy beyond all belief. Maurice Chevalier's "Thank Heaven for Little Girls", for instance, became and the Everly Brothers' "Dream" now includes the lines |

The Sealab 2021 episode "Radio Free Sealab": The end of the episode, the Father-Son FCC duo have an exchange that is heavily but masterfully bleeped, implying a nasty conversation. A DVD extra features the unbleeped dialog, which is much tamer and in many cases the opposite of what you were expecting. The younger agent's entire last line of dialog is bleeped to implying that he is cursing out his father when he's actually saying something like "I love you, dad." Bleeped lines of dialog followed by unbleeped lines like "That's legal in Tijuana" make this an example of a Noodle Incident. | |

When someone on the Lemon Demon forums asked for a version of "The Ultimate Showdown" with the word "ass" bleeped, he was given this instead. Made even better when "ass" remains one of the only words not bleeped. Another Lemon Demon example is his version of Sesame Street's "Song of the count", where every time the Count count something, it's bleeped out. Watch here. |

YouTube musician Julia Nunes does this in a video answering viewers' questions. Apparently, someone objected to Julia's mild, infrequent language as they allowed their children to watch her videos. Julia responded: "Hot dog! When will you billy goats realize that I'm twenty years old, and I'm gonna say whatever comes to my mind? Fungus! Tingly! Duck! Sheets! Fondue!" What made it even better, though, is that the beep she used to censor herself was a recording of her own voice saying the word "beep". |

The first time episodes of Monty Python's Flying Circus were shown in the US, on ABC (yes, ABC's Wide World of Entertainment), there was some interesting censorship. Specifically, for this trope, in the episode about the Montgolfier brothers, the narrator says "That night the Montgolfier brothers had a good bath, they washed their [a list of body parts follows] and also their BLEEP BLEEP." The words that were censored were "naughty bits". | |

Aerosmith does this in the song "Just Push Play" (from the album titled the same) "Just push play, Fuckin' A! They're gonna *bleep* it anyway", with an actual bleep obscuring the word bleep, while "fuck" is left uncensored. This becomes amusing in radio broadcasts of the song when BOTH are bleeped. The amusing thing is that the first two choruses have "fucking" beeped while saying "They're gonna beep it anyway." It's only the last chorus, after doing that twice, that they leave the profanity and beep the actual word beep. |

In the Sam and Max: Beyond Time and Space finale, What's New, Beelzebub?, the Freelance Police replace a list of "bad" words in the FCC office (which is a division of Hell) with Satan's grocery list. This leads to stuff like the Soda Poppers being referred to as the @#$% Poppers for the rest of the game. And yes, this includes their theme song. The whole point in this exercise is to get a vital piece of information out of Tiny Timmy, whose Hollywood Tourette's seemingly turns the little rat tyke into a fountain of bleeped-out cursing. Of course, once you switch the lists, it turns out that his "expletives" were all family friendly to begin with, although it's soon obvious why the demented Media Watchdog responsible would censor out the information as well. It's the name "Dick Peacock"... think about it. Also, in Situation: Comedy, you can bring Specs in as a guest on Myra Stump's show. If you do, he will complain about how he should have *bleep*'d his brother. He's referring to the "American Idol" parody earlier in the episode where he was ultimately convinced to vote for Sam rather than Peepers. He doesn't seem to realize that he's being censored, and gets confused when Myra responds with disgust. |

The South Park episode "201" (the second part to "200") censored all mentionings of Muhammad, and Kyle's speech at the end is entirely censored, even though it's been said that there wasn't anything vulgar or obscene about it. Comedy Central ordered all of this to happen because of the Muslim controversy that stirred shortly after the airing of "200". Predating this is another two-parter centering around Muhammad, "Cartoon Wars". Even though a lot of people took the note in Part 2 that says that Comedy Central had to censor the Muhammad scene as a joke, that note was actually true. |

Done to incredibly hilarious effect in Drop the Dead Donkey. Due to the show being post-watershed, there was little to no censorship, which made it even worse when Henry went on an epic rant at Gus, calling him a "*bleep*ing, *bleep*ing, *bleep*ing -" Continuing for a good five minutes with reaction shots showing the other characters either horrified, appalled, or in Joy's case, highly amused — only to end with an *extremely* loud and very uncensored scream of "FUCKWIT". Although the actually censored words are easy enough to divine and fairly mild (pissing, shitting, etc.), the bleeping turns the rant up to 11. | |

In one of the Fire Emblem: Awakening DLC packs, there's an image◊ of Tharja, the resident Ms. Fanservice, wearing a bikini. Apparently, the localizers thought that it was a bit too suggestive, so they added a Scenery Censor that covered up her rear end◊. This had the unintentional effect of making the picture more suggestive, as it implies that her swimsuit is even skimpier, or that she's in the process of taking it off. | |

The Unlucky Tug: After talking about Mavis in his Thomas & Friends season 3 retrospective, he plays several clips of her dialogue with words beeped out to make it sound like she's swearing. The last one ends with Percy staring in silence. | |

The Robertsons of Duck Dynasty do not curse, but are often bleeped in order to make it appear that they do as part of a production policy that they ought to appear rougher in order to be better characters. Their exercise of their religion is also often cut for similar reasons. Later seasons stopped the fake bleeping, as their general good-natured ribbing toward each other is considered part of the show's charm. | |

Family Guy uses this in the episode "A Hero Sits Next Door": On Wheel of Fortune, a contestant ponders the incomplete puzzle phrase "GO _UCK YOURSELF". After the complete phrase is shown as "GO TUCK YOURSELF IN". A different variation of this gag appeared in "PTV", where the FCC censors everything, including real life. They blare an airhorn to bleep out Peter, including a prolonged description of something that Lois does for him that includes toothpaste, extension cords, and Episcopalians. |

At one point in Kaiju Girl Caramelise, Kuroe asks Arata how he would react if she turned into a "pulpy glob" (which is her way of covertly and indirectly talking about her actual secret ability to turn into a Kaiju). This is accompanied by an imagined picture of a pixelated mass of something. | |

During Jim Steranko's run on Nick Fury: Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D. he had drawn a passionate, yet fully-clothed heterosexual kiss. Knowing that it wouldn't pass the Comics Code Authority, Marvel editor Roy Thomas simply replaced it with a blow-up of a portion of an earlier panel — which depicted Fury's gun in its holster. The best part is that Thomas didn't realize what he'd done until Steranko called him up to congratulate him for making the page dirtier than he himself could ever have dreamed up. | |

A particularly odd example occurs in some radio versions of the Nickelback song "Rockstar", in which the words "drugs" is bleeped out, leading to the line "the girls come easy and the — come cheap" which, given the mention of girls in the previous line, makes the line sound far worse than it actually is. | |
