Cluster Bleep-Bomb | comment |
This is when a character launches into a profane tirade for several seconds, which is bleeped out for comedic effect. It's sort of the intersection between The Aristocrats and a Noodle Incident: the humor comes from how incredibly long-winded and offensive the dialog was, but we're left with only other characters' reactions to inform us about what was actually said. Sometimes intercut with odd words that aren't rude in themselves, but make one wonder in what possible context they would make sense. Likewise, if it goes on for especially long with no unobjectionable words mixed in, you have to wonder how it's possible to construct a coherent and relevant statement out of pure swearing. If the actors are visibly speaking their lines with just the sound bleeped out, this can be a sort of Bilingual Bonus for anyone who can lip-read. A Sub-Trope of Censored for Comedy and Cluster F-Bomb. Often invokes Nothing Is Funnier, leaving the listener to wonder what is being said. May be invoked by Jackhammered Conversation. Compare Lost in Transmission. For the visual version, see Symbol Swearing. A character for whom this is characteristic behavior may be a Sir Swears-a-Lot. If a child were to do this, then it’s usually Innocent Swearing. |

The Thick of It, possibly one of the most profane TV shows ever, aired on BBC America with the swearing bleeped out. The result was described by one of the writers as having "sounded like a lorry reversing into a heart monitor." | |

The audience on Maury can be just as rowdy as the guests, and thus just as likely to drop an F-bomb. This means that, if you haven't picked up on this yet, watching an episode of the show can be disorienting, since random bleeps will show up out of nowhere while the guests are perfectly calm. | |

That '70s Show: Often occurs when characters get exceptionally mad. In "Hyde Moves In", Red gets guilted into having Hyde leave his deadbeat parents and live with the Formans, instead. In "Immigrant Song", Kitty suffers an existential crisis when she overhears Eric and Donna looking for apartments. |

Smiling Friends: In trying to salvage Mr. Frog's reputation, Charlie and Pim have him show up in Jimmy Fallon's show to hopefully get some sympathy back, while Charlie doped him on sleeping pills to curb his usual violent outbursts. "No one's ever done anything crazy on sleeping pills", in his words. This immediately goes awry when Jimmy asks Mr. Frog what the worst part of working on his show was, and he answers it was working with those filthy... somethings, as the show deploys a four-second bleep whose covered-up contents shock Jimmy, Pim, and even the normally-unfazed Charlie. | |

SiIvaGunner's high-quality rip of "Eternal Rest" is mashed up with Gangsta Rap's "Nigga Nigga Nigga", except every single instance of the N-word is bleeped out. Except for a few uncensored swear words at the beginning, that means pretty much the entire song is made up of censor bleeps. | |

The TV edit of Office Space should have really replaced certain songs on the soundtrack altogether, because they are so heavily edited for content that they sound like a string of backward sound clips, punctuated with the occasional word here and there. There's really no hope for fluidity when the chorus of a song in a scene with no dialogue is "Die, motherfucker, die!" | |

Arrested Development: Used twice in rapid succession by Buster in "Bring Up Buster"; once when trash-talking Michael before a bike ride ("Well let's hope it doesn't come to that"), and when dissing his own mother ("I don't think anybody's going to top that"). Also used during Gob's sexual-harassment speech before the office Christmas party. Nobody does anything even slightly untoward afterwards. Used again by Nellie, the prostitute Michael mistakenly hires to work at the Bluth Company, when she tells her fellow employees what she is and is not willing to do. It sounds a lot like Gob's speech. |

In an episode of Dance Moms, Christi tells Abby, "You don't need to know my [bleep] attorney's name." Abby's jaw drops at her use of profanity and Christi does it some more by leaning forward and repeating the F word several times in rapid succession underneath a long bleep with her mouth blurred out. Later, during a rehearsal, Abby is yelling at the girls for nearly every little thing and tells them, "You can all thank Christi for my mood. She stood at my front desk and yelled the F word. Seventeen times. That's sickening!" She then makes a rule that the next mom who says the word in front of her will have their daughter pulled from performing in the upcoming competition. In the dressing room before the competition, Leslie lets loose a Precision F-Strike at Abby twice and her daughter Payton's solo is promptly canceled. | |

The ½ Prince novels sometimes have "XXX" bombs, the most spectacular of which appears when the protagonist critiques an antagonist's method of killing, describing what he should do if he really wants to horrify people.

Discworld: Mort: "(BLEEP) me! A (BLEEP)ing wizard! I hate (BLEEP)ing wizards!" proclaims a character in the book, "effortlessly pronouncing a row of dashes". Obviously, the response is, "well, you shouldn't (BLEEP) them, then." The Truth features a thug who liberally peppers his speech with "-ing". It's stated several times that this isn't censorship, however, and he is actually just saying "-Ing" for some reasonnote When Sachrissa Cripslock adopts this neologism in a stressful moment, she omits the dash, simply saying "ing" repeatedly, but enjoying it enormously. It's implied that he really wants to swear, but has a mental block because of a very strict upbringing. |

Total Drama: In the original version of "That's Off the Chain", Lindsay goes off on Heather with a long series of bleeps when she discovers that Heather never was her friend, has been using her all this time, and now is throwing her away. In the American version, the bleeps are replaced with childish swearing. In the original version of "Trial by Tri-Armed Triathlon", Owen snaps at Heather after a day of lousy teamwork and especially her insults towards Izzy. About half of his insult is bleep-censored, though in the American version the bleeps are replaced with childish swearing. A fan of DJ's tries to cook a meal in his honor in "Aftermath II: Forgive and for Gwen", but becomes frustrated when he can't figure out the secret ingredient. He goes on a tirade on TV that mostly gets bleeped out. As reported on in "Celebrity Manhunt's TDA Reunion Show", Izzy's acting career takes a nosedive when she goes ballistic against her filming crew. Her tirade is all on tape, but only gets run in the bleep-heavy censored version. Alejandro curses in Spanish and in bleeps after learning that his team's going to consist of Tyler, Owen, and Noah in "Walk Like An Egyptian, Part 1". One of the possible Duncan sighting videos in "Aftermath I: Bridgette Over Troubled Waters" shows a figure falling down a cliff, bleep-cursing all the way down. Geoff comments that the footage isn't of much use to the audience because the show had to censor everything the figure uttered. |

MADtv (1995): There's a spoof where an episode of The Sopranos is shown on a regular network with all the profanity and other risque material rather conspicuously edited out. At one point there's 20 seconds of uninterrupted profanity between the mobsters, all bleeped out. A sketch parodying an encounter with a FOX censor rapidly disintegrates into this, first by bleeping the word "bitch" due to "word tonnage." The FOX censor then tells the sketch writers the phrase "French braid" refers to a bizarre sex act: |

The "Censored Songs" round in I'm Sorry I Haven't a Clue (in which innocuous words are bleeped to make a perfectly normal song sound absolutely filthy) sometimes becomes this. In particular, their version of "My Favourite Things" bleeped almost the entire verse, with the words only coming in with "(BLEEP) (BLEEP), tied up with string..." | |

Dragon Ball Z Abridged: Parodied in Episode 19, where Vegeta drops into a Cluster Bomb when he realizes that the Ginyu Force are right behind him. The bleeps turn out to be provided by Jeice trying to adjust his Scouter, which has been acting up lately. Then, the Stinger shows the entire rant uncensored, revealing that it was actually a Cluster Gosh Dang It to Heck! Bomb. Cell gets one of these (and an Atomic Bleep Bomb) after Gohan hits him so hard he regurgitates Android 18. |

The Middleman is loaded with allusions and tropes from The Silver Age of Comic Books, where cursing is rendered as Symbol Swearing. Thus, the tv series has a lot of fun with the Sound-Effect Bleep + Censor Box over the mouth. Generally mild swears (and stealthy euphemisms) get a pass, and the bleep is used on a Rule of Funny basis. | |

The Powerpuff Girls (1998) episode "Curses" was almost an exact copy of the "Sailor Mouth" episode above, with the titular girls constantly using a curse word after hearing Professor Utonium say it; it even uses sound effects as bleeps (although they're mostly from things that happen in the scenes). But here, everyone gets angry at the girls cursing, and the girls learn their lesson by learning what the actual curse word means. They then take down a literal "potty mouth" monster. | |

In Bob and George the author will frequently pixelate curses, or hide them behind a black bar. Then you have Ran on this page. There's a Running Gag that every year on December 1st, a character drops an uncensored Precision F-Strike. This year the author picked Ran, and due to Ran having recently suffered a fair amount of abuse, he decided to have Ran go on a whole rant. But Ran isn't his character, so he checked with Ran's creator, who said that he didn't like the idea of Ran swearing. So he censored the offending words... and then a whole lot more, for kicks. | |

Happens multiple times in Arthur season 8, episode 10 "Bleep". The first is in the prologue where Arthur is visiting the set of a show called The Altos, a parody of The Sopranos. Arthur explains that the bleep is inserted to cover swear words, or anything you're not supposed to hear. When the actors are acting, a Cluster Bleep-Bomb ensues. The second happens soon after when Arthur imagines if the bleep existed in real life. He has the bleep button operator bleep out people saying things he doesn't want to hear, even if they're not swear words. Later, DW holds the button down to annoy Arthur. The final cluster bleep-bomb happens at the end when various kids at DW's preschool use the episode's unknown swear word gratuitously. note Word of God states that the voice actors used the word "Chicken", but YouTuber Scott Cramer believes the characters used the slur for gay people. |

At one point in Killer7, Suzie goes off on a tangent about what she did to some men who made fun of her name, and parts of it get censored out. This is funny for three separate reasons: in the English version, Suzie (like all ghosts) is The Unintelligible; in the Japanese version, her speech is so full of Gratuitous English that it makes no sense anyway; and the game doesn't censor profanity anywhere else! | |

It becomes a Running Gag that Stolas, the most regal of a cast who regularly swears, is also the only one that consistently says stuff bad enough to actually bleep. | |

The DVD for Snatch. had an Easter Egg which asked "Are you easily offended?". If "No" was chosen, came this Fully Automatic Clip Show of "the best swearing and gunfire in British cinema". If "Yes" was picked, it's a bleeped version of the video. | |

The Boondocks: At the end of the episode "Ballin'", Riley ends up losing a junior basketball game that until then his team was assured to win. As his coach Tom DuBois watches the opposing team receive the trophy—with the announcer comparing the game's conclusion to the ending of The Mighty Ducks, something that Tom himself had also wanted to experience—the otherwise well-mannered attorney slams his clipboard onto the ground and breaks out into a profanity-laden tirade at his players that is bleeped out in TV airings of the episode. (On the DVD release, it's completely uncut.) | |

A variation is done in the Big City Greens episode "Bleeped"; Cricket learns a cuss word from Gramma and becomes so amused by such he passes it on to his friends, prompting everyone but Tilly to repeat the cuss nonstop. In a variation, they use made-up swears such as "blort" (the word Cricket learns) instead of bleeping them out, yet they still treat it like such anyway. | |

The Truth features a thug who liberally peppers his speech with "-ing". It's stated several times that this isn't censorship, however, and he is actually just saying "-Ing" for some reasonnote When Sachrissa Cripslock adopts this neologism in a stressful moment, she omits the dash, simply saying "ing" repeatedly, but enjoying it enormously. It's implied that he really wants to swear, but has a mental block because of a very strict upbringing. | |

Tensions between employees, restaurant owners, and those trying to help them can rise drastically on "Save my failing restaurant" type of shows such as Kitchen Nightmares, Restaurant: Impossible and Mystery Diners, often resulting in this trope.

While the Emperor often triggers it later, his initial reaction is to launch into a blistering rant, even more profane than usual, that almost leaves everyone in the Palace deaf from sheer amount of horn blasts. | |

Tiny Toon Adventures had the appropriately named Fowlmouth who casually swore constantly, usually to the deleterious effect of those around him (such as making a trio of toddlers in the background burst out crying.) Once, Buster was trying to help him get over it so he could entice Shirley on a date, ending up using a contraption so torturous that the background music was barely audible through the beeping. Fowlmouth cursed it to death. Though at the end of the episode, Buster swore (apparently; debate rages on what "Well what do you *BLEEP*" could be) and he was subjected to the same treatment... With the same amount of swearing in response. | |

SpongeBob SquarePants: "Krusty Love" has Spongebob being ordered around by Mr. Krabs to buy expensive gifts for Mrs. Puff only to be berated for spending all of Mr. Krabs' money. After receiving far too much of the abuse for the entire episode, Spongebob goes on a massive tirade in which the only intelligible words are "Mr. Krabs!", "Wallet!", "Spend!" and "Mr. Krabs' WALLET!" In a variation, the rant is gibberish rather than bleeped out, but the effect is the same, as Mrs. Puff's blushing reaction indicates. Played entirely straight in the Dutch dub, where actual censor bleeps are used instead of gibberish. The episode "Sailor Mouth" is a variation on this. SpongeBob and Patrick learn some "sentence enhancers", and put them into every sentence they can think of (but they're all censored with dolphin sounds, foghorns, and other sea-related sounds). Then Mr. Krabs does this with all "thirteen" dirty words he'd mentioned (anyone not a sailor would only know "seven", according to him). His mother appeared to have done this as well, but the beeps turn out to be "Old Man Jenkins in his jalopy". The full curse bundle from Mr. Krabs goes thusly: |

The QI episode 'Ladies and Gents' has a question about Anglo-Saxon swearwordsnote In case you're wondering, many English language swearwords are from Anglo-Saxon, but we don't know any actual swearwords that the Anglo-Saxons themselves used. What we know of that time period was written down by holy men of the time, who generally weren't inclined to swearing.. Sue Perkins drops one swearword, bleeped because this is the BBC, and gets a klaxon that covers all bases. Sue decides 'In for a penny' and drops about six more, all bleeped, all klaxoned. She ends with the unbleeped, unklaxoned 'knob-gobbler'. | |

Sam and Max Beyond Time and Space featured Tiny Timmy, a rat afflicted with Hollywood Tourette's who spoke with every other word bleeped out. In the final episode of the season, Sam and Max switch a bowdlerizer's list of naughty words with a shopping list so that they can get a vital clue out of Tiny Timmy...and discover that his "swearing" is all of the Gosh Dang It to Heck! variety. | |

South Park: From Stan and Kyle's encounter with extraterrestrials from the 1st episode, "Cartman Gets An Anal Probe": Kenny often swears in frustration (the 'F' word is particularly common), and is the one most likely to describe lewd behaviour graphically, but everything he says is muffled by his hoodie. Ironically, when he's cursing he is actually clearer than when he's just having a normal conversation, and the close listener will be able to get the gist of what he's describing or the words he's using. Towards the end of the 201st episode, "201", three speeches by Kyle, Jesus and Santa Claus are censored in their entirety. While it seems like a gag, the bleeps were actually placed there by Comedy Central due to fear of repercussion from terrorist groups who had threatened the show's staff over depicting Mohammed in the previous episode. Unlike nearly every other episode of the show, it remains censored on the DVD release, and has not been released on streaming. The uncensored speech, about the power of violence and fear, was leaked in 2014. |

This was sometimes done in 19th-century novels as well. Perhaps in response to this, Patrick O'Brian also blanked out some of the swear words in his Aubrey-Maturin series, resulting in one humorous scene where Diana introduces herself by yelling at her horse, "Get over, you —," which intrigues Jack, who had never heard a woman say "—" before. | |

The clean versions of "Hollaback Girl" by Gwen Stefani, which contains 38 uses of the word "shit", mainly from the repeated line "Ooh-ooh, this my shit, this my shit". There are two clean versions of the song: one which partially censors the word to just "sh..." (also used for the music video) and a radio edit that censors the words entirely by replacing them with whistles, grunts, or other vocalizations. | |

In the opening scene of Detention, when the Alpha Bitch Taylor Fisher sees that her little brother is using the bathroom, she unleashes a tirade that's comprised of three seconds of bleeped-out words before ending with "fucking ecstasy baby!" Given that her F-bomb went uncensored, one can only imagine what the bleeped-out insults were. | |
