Getting Crap Past the Radar | comment |
Instances in which a writer, artist or other creator puts inappropriate content — stuff that directly violates the censorship standards they are working under — into their material with the deliberate intent to get past this censorship. How this is accomplished may vary. The content submitted for ratings may be so offensive that the demands to cut it down end up missing things that would have otherwise been obvious (AKA the Censor Decoy). The creators may hide offensive content as Easter Eggs. Sometimes the Media Watchdogs are just asleep at the wheel. Such events can result in bad (or good) press for a work, or angry calls to a network or studio. It is important to distinguish this trope from other tropes like Parental Bonus, Demographically Inappropriate Humour, Subtext, and Accidental Innuendo. In these cases, younger audience members are expected to miss the messages, but adults will read them loud and clear. Censors are usually fine with such things, so it's not a violation of media standards. Indeed, this is often a deliberate and widely accepted ploy to engage older audiences in what is nominally a family-friendly work. As such, it is not Getting Crap Past the Radar. Compare Does This Remind You of Anything?. Contrast with Defying the Censors, in which the creators fight to have their controversial work shown to the masses in a far more blunt approach; and Surprisingly Lenient Censor, in which the censors are more easy-going than the creators expect. See also Crosses the Line Twice, which can be the end result of gradually increasing the level of inappropriate content. Important note for editors: To qualify for this trope, content must meet three criteria: The Radar: It must be in a medium and format where Media Watchdogs exist and actively censor content. Self-censorship does not count. Post-censorship, such as by advertisers on a webcomic, also does not count. The "Get Past" Part: The inclusion of the content must be intentional, and the creators of the work must be aware that it ought to be censored. Accidental Innuendo does not count. The Crap: It must be something that directly violates the criteria for the rating assigned. Innuendo and subtext do not count. That last point means that, yes, examples will require citations. Citations can take any of the following forms: Citation, preferably with a link, of which rule was violated. Simply referring to the standard isn't enough — examples must state the exact clause. Note that standards change frequently, so make sure you're referring to the correct one. Cases where the creator describes how they circumvented the censors. Note that if a creator is merely surprised something got through, it belongs on Surprisingly Lenient Censor. Reports of censorship failure from investigative journalists working for reliable news outlets. Blogs, social media, and comment sections do not qualify. Works which get released, and are swiftly recalled for the specific purpose of either changing the age rating or removing objectionable content. Note that this does not apply in cases where the radar only gets involved if people complain after the fact, which is the case with most advertising as well as websites which host user-created content such as YouTube and FanFiction.Net. noreallife |

Wizard101 applies various rules to the text chat to filter out cursing, offensive language, and for some reason the word "Hell". Naturally, players figured out ways around this. Clever capitalisation (ex. HELLo), until this was fixed in a patch. In many cases it's as simple as changing a letter. There are quite a few players saying "crop". Players are not allowed to say "I hate you," yet "I hate ya" gets past the censor just fine. |

The Viz strip Sweary Mary is built around this trope; her entire schtick is trying to dodge censorship so she can swear as much as she wants. In her last appearance she finally achieved her life's dream of being allowed to swear on the cover, but lost her voice and was ridiculed by the other characters. | |

The C-plot of Separate Tables involves Charles and Jean, a young dating couple who are staying at the hotel and, because they aren't married, have to deal with disapproving looks and gossip from the likes of mean Mrs. Railton-Bell. Charles for his part is a medical student who is cramming for an anatomy exam, while Jean keeps pestering him for sex. | |

Quite infamously, in Kingdom Hearts II and II Final Mix, it's possible to maneuver the camera underneath Kairi's skirt and find a fully-rendered pair of panties with a little bow, despite the ESRB rating not including descriptors for any suggestive content. The Radar did eventually catch on to that one—the panties are no longer present in the HD remasters. | |

In Wild Woody, there is a convoluted Easter Egg that has a naked, breast-hanging mermaid (NSFW link!). Wild Woody is rated K-A, the equivalent to today's E; we're guessing the only reason it wasn't rated higher is that nobody at the ESRB managed to find that particular secret. | |

In order to ensure that D was published in the form he wished, Kenji Eno resorted to actual fraud. First, he developed the game with no story line, concealing the cutscenes from his own staff, then submitted a 'clean' version to the board for approval. He then deliberately submitted the master late, knowing that he would then have to deliver it by hand to the U.S. manufacturers. That gave him time to 'switch' the clean disc with the version he intended, bypassing the censors completely!note And doubtlessly damaging his reputation with them once they figured out the ruse, but apparently that was Worth It. | |

The Avengers: During the 1978 Korvac saga, Korvac and Carina fuse their bodies into one in a very sexual manner, the narration describing Korvac "as he softly slips between the delicate folds of Carina's soul". The panels◊ show the two naked, in a sexual pose, and Carina apparently having an orgasm. This is pretty strongly in violation of the Sex and Costume sections of the 1974 revision. In Avengers #125 (1972), While the Avengers are fighting an alien invasion from Thanos, there's a panel showing a busted alien ship falling toward the street. Some civilians are fleeing the scene and in the background, a theater marquee is visible. A civilian partially obscures the marquee with his arm as he runs away, but it's apparent the movie is Deep Throat; based on the timing, this is much more likely to be a reference to the porn movie and not to the informant on the Watergate scandal. |

In the Beavis and Butt-Head episode "Dream On", you can hear Beavis mumbling "Fire, fire". This was after Beavis' catchphrase was bowdlerised (to "fryer, fryer") because of "Comedians", aka the episode of actual pyromania it was falsely accused of in Real Life. | |

The Life of Émile Zola: Someone who wasn't familiar with the Dreyfus Affair might wonder why Captain Dreyfus was selected to be the fall guy based on apparently zero evidence. The reason, of course, was that he was Jewish. Warner Brothers head Jack Warner, himself a Jew, insisted that Dreyfus's religion not be discussed in the film. However, when the General Staff is trying to figure out who the traitor is, Dreyfus's personnel file shows "Religion: Jew". The Minister of War's finger is pointing to that line as someone offscreen says snootily "I wonder how he ever became a member of the General Staff." The Minister of War then says "That's our man." | |

The Shin Megami Tensei subseries Devil Children had two entries localized by Atlus as the DemiKids series. While they are Lighter and Softer than the main series, as the E rating would have you believe, they still contain Succubi and Incubi — without as much as a "Suggestive Themes" descriptor — despite both demons being highlighted in ratings information for SMT titles with higher ratings. And yes, the Incubus in DemiKids still has the same "phallic-shaped torso" that catches the ESRB's eye every time. | |

At a convention, Regular Show creator JG Quintel admits that the "Summertime Lovin'" song played in "This is My Jam" once had a dirty line that couldn't be played on television. International dubs of the episode accidentally have this slip through on television (likely because the song is in English), revealing the line to be "gonna take off all my clothes, put my balls on your cheek". | |

In the Futurama episode "Bendin' in the Wind", when Farnsworth asks Fry if the VW van has a device that can slow down and speed up time, Fry holds up a bong, prompting a shocked look from Hermes. According to DVD commentary, the reason the censors didn't object to the scene was because the script referred to the bong as a "strange bottle." | |

Power Rangers Time Force was rated G, so no cursing was allowed. In the original version of the finale The End of Time, we hear the Cyclobots talk for the first time. It sounds like nonsense robot talk...until you run it backwards. They say, "You are the size of a fucking condo."note "Odnoc gnikcuf a fo ezis eht era uoy." to Ransik and "You bitch, that's too much money."note "Yenom hcum oot staht, hctib uoy." Disney took notice and in later airings, that backmasked speech was recorded with "You, sir, are the size of a condo."note "Odnoc a fo edis eht era, ris, uoy." and "That's too much money."note "Yenom hcum oot staht." | |

The English version of The Hunchback of Notre Dame never says that Frollo is a priest, but he does live in a cathedral and wear robes that look like they could be priest's robes. He's identified onscreen as an alchemist, but he did practice alchemy on the side in the original novel. All in all, it seems like the filmmakers are trying to make it so that the audience will infer that he's a priest, but without tipping off the censors. | |

Sherlock Holmes and the Secret Weapon makes a sly reference to Holmes' cocaine habit. Holmes, captured by Moriarty and stalling for time, suggests to Moriarty that instead of just shooting him, he should try something "more creative" —like inserting a needle into his vein and slowly drawing out all of his blood. In response to this suggestion, Moriarty snidely quips: | |

There were concerns that censors would object to Taylor's cry of "God damn you all to hell!" in Planet of the Apes. The problem was avoided when the producers and Heston explained that the phrase was not an expletive. Rather, Taylor was, literally, calling on God to damn the entire human race for destroying civilization. | |

The Transformers is rated G, but a few episodes manage to subvert the restrictions. "Roll for It" includes some Japanese text from the production crew. Roughly translated, it reads "to "Gah, I need a woman. Ain't there any hot babes around? Let's call it a day, get home quick and hit the sack. Hey, Habara, did you pop your cherry yet?note lost your virginity Let's go hit a Turkish bathnote a kind of brothel some time"." The G rating specifically does not allow any form of sex or nudity. "Kremzeek!" has a naked woman on the Hojoni billboard. |

A visual example in The Big Bang Theory has Sheldon Cooper displaying, in an argument with Leonard Hofstadter, what a highly-educated idiot he is. The camera angle frames Sheldon against a whiteboard covered with the usual abstract advanced mathematical equations. It's no accident that just to the right of Sheldon's face, a set of extravagantly-bracketed equations are drawn in such a way that they resemble the classic toilet wall cock-and-balls. | |

Who Framed Roger Rabbit: A subtle joke in the opening sequence has a Show Within a Show example of Getting Crap Past the Radar: the brand name on the oven is "Hotternell" — while the film's PG rating would certainly allow for language as mild as "hell", The Hays Code that was in effect during the film's period setting would not. This is actually a combination of this trope, and a Shout-Out: Tex Avery, in that same period, managed to get away with including an Alaska town labelled as Coldernell in one of his shorts, and the Roger short in production is very much in Avery's style. | |

Love Affair was controversial on concept. Its story was tampered several times by different people, from the censors to the French embassy. But notably, the leading lady being hit by a car that causes her paralysis was added to justify keeping the affair in the movie because she "needed redemption" (the womanizing leading man was already being redeemed through her love). | |

Mandalay was produced before the Hays Code took effect but was released afterward. Michael Curtiz took it upon himself to sneak as much "objectionable" content as possible for the sake of art, so there are several examples of this. You can read this article for the full story. The steamy scene at the bathtub between Tanya and Tony, who are unmarried. Or even the fact they are living together without wedding rings on their fingers. The former was allowed thanks to a Modesty Towel and a Discretion Shot. The latter, well, probably because of the unique limbo the film found itself in. The true nature of the "Jardin d'Orient" is technically never stated. Curtiz's boss wanted the scenes to make it look like more of a nightclub and a gambling house than a brothel. Curtiz still shows women in less than prudish attires and has this exchange that is just short of explicit: |

In The War That Came Early, a campaigner for FDR compares the 1940 election, where Democrat FDR runs against Republican Willke and third-party candidate Landon, with the 1912 election, in which Democrat Wilson ran against, and defeated, Republican Taft and Bull-Moose (Teddy) Roosevelt. In so doing, he says that, once again, a Democrat is running against a Republican and a Bull-something. Peggy, who is attending the rally, reflects that the speaker is implying what cannot be said directly in a public forum, that Landon is bullshit. | |

Banjo-Tooie: The game starts with Banjo, Kazooie, Mumbo Jumbo, and Bottles gambling by playing poker with each other. Because gambling is outright illegal for anyone under 18 in the U.K., video games that include gambling in them are almost always guaranteed to earn a PEGI 12+ rating, but even with it being rereleased multiple times, Tooie has always managed to maintain a consistent PEGI 3+ rating, despite the gambling being shown off in the first three minutes of the game. | |

In The Vampire Files, set in 1930s Chicago, an in-universe example would be the art of Evan Robley. From nearly any angle and distance, his paintings appear as colorful, abstract works respectable enough for the sensibilities of any censor of that era; when viewed from exactly the right spot, however, they're revealed to be detailed self-portraits of Evan's favorite body part. | |

Steve Gerber included a sentient space turnip named Phelch in Howard the Duck Vol. 1 #2; felching is the practice of using a straw to retrieve one's own sperm from a partner's orifice. As such, Phelch's name violates both the profanity clause and the ban on "sex perversion or inference to same". | |

In the The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening, a hidden Easter Egg generates a character called a Cukeman, who says strange, nonsensical things. These were different in every translation, and in the original German translation, he says things like "Give me your juice, I'll give you mine..." and "Never without a condom!" The original Game Boy version of the game was released in 1993, a year before the USK was formed. Consequently, the German version's lines were changed for the 1998 DX re-release. In the 2019 Nintendo Switch remake, the Cukeman's lines were changed in all regions to be cryptic foreshadowing instead. | |

Jim Davis has openly stated that he intentionally made Garfield inoffensive and uncontroversial in order to appeal to the widest possible audience. However, even he couldn't resist the urge to occasionally slip in something against the rules. Garfield gets high on catnip and wakes up in Atlantic City with a Barbie doll. In 20 Years and Still Kicking!, Jim Davis admits that he didn't expect it to be published. This was the most notorious, but not the only one. In this 1979 strip◊, Garfield openly says how much he loves all the sex and violence on TV. Sitting in a paper bag makes Garfield feel like a dirty magazine. One of the bonus strips that bookends the comic collections◊ of Jon's Scariest Dates includes Señorita Del Fuego, who is a handpuppet with lipstick. When this one was reprinted in Garfield's Guide To Everything, Señorita Del Fuego was nowhere to be found; from this, we can infer that she shouldn't have appeared in the first instance, either. |

The Maltese Falcon dodges the rule against "sex perversion" by only subtly implying the homosexuality of Wilmer Cook and Joel Cairo. Cairo kisses his phallic cane lovingly at one point. Spade refers derogatorily to Wilmer as "the gunsel", both in the movie and in the book. "Gunsel" was Yiddish slang for a a male passive sexual partner, but not many people knew that. As the slang was all but forgotten, it was re-imagined as slang for a gunslinger or a gun-toting hitman.note In Yiddish, the suffix -el is also a diminutive, so given Wilmer's unprepossessing stature, it's easy to think Spade's calling him a "little gun". | |

The Celluloid Closet: One of the central themes of the movie is how creators got crap past the radar and introduced homoerotic and Ambiguously Gay gay content past censors. One of the most jaw-dropping examples is Jane Russell's "Ain't There Anyone Here for Love" number from Gentlemen Prefer Blondes, a whole sequence in which muscular dudes wearing nothing but swim trunks dance and twirl and do backflips, while Russell's character sings about how she can't get any of them to pay her any attention. The homoeroticism couldn't be much more overt, but because none of the men actually touch each other, it got past 1953 Hays Code censors. Some clear gay bars are depicted too, including drag king acts, but as nothing's explicit it went through censorship. | |

In Fear, Loathing and Gumbo on the Campaign Trail '72, under Rumsfeld, the film industry was highly censored, but some filmmakers were able to sneak in some anti-Rumsfeldian themes. Back to the Future featured an ending in which Marty discovers that his alteration of the past wrote him out of existence, which was an attempt by Spielberg at drawing a metaphor about Rumsfeld's Orwellian alteration of history. The movie It's a Wonderful Life is used to convey another anti-Rumsfeld message by drawing comparisons between Rumsfeld and Mr. Potter, but its history as a beloved American classic means that these themes were ignored by censors. | |

In Swamp Thing Vol. 2 #37, when John declines Emma's offer to spend more time in bed with her, she asks whether she's ever told him what her father says about Englishmen; he responds "Yes, you did; "no, we're not; and if I ever meet your dad I'm going to chin him." The implied word after "not" is, of course, "gay," which in 1985 was the sort of "inference" to "sex perversion" which the Code forbade. | |

The 1936 adaptation of Romeo and Juliet included much of William Shakespeare's signature dirty jokes and bawdy humour. We guess the fact that one does not mess with Shakespeare is the only reason the movie was able to get the line "for the bawdy hand of the [sun]dial is even now upon the prick of noon" past the censors, especially given the obvious joy with which John Barrymore hits the word "prick"; the Nurse even registers a wickedly delighted reaction, acknowledging it to be an obvious sex joke. | |

Advise & Consent has a few moments due to Otto Preminger barely bothering to do his job. An attractive woman is seen leaving a senator's hotel room first thing in the morning, wearing the same Little Black Dress and mink stole she was presumably wearing the night before. The majority leader then enters, finds the senator still in his bathrobe, and gently suggests that perhaps a senator should project more stability by getting married. This is the first American movie with a scene inside what is obviously a gay bar; while the Code never specifically mentions homosexuality, it does forbid "sex perversion", under which homosexuality would have fallen in 1962. In a mild Precision F-Strike, Dolly jokingly refers to herself as "an old bitch" in one scene. |

Verwitterte Melodie, made in Germany in 1942, is regarded as containing a subtle anti-Nazi message. First, there's the record, a jazz tune. The Nazis, famously, hated jazz. Two of the bugs stumble across a broken garter strap, which is Getting Crap Past the Radar on one level—some vigorous sex was happening near that record player, apparently—and not very Nazi-friendly on another level, as bonking to jazz music in a meadow was hardly the thing that proper Nazi maidens were supposed to do. Two of the bugs who dance together are ladybugs, and hence have been interpreted as a lesbian couple. Then there's how all the various bugs and other small animals of the meadow—frogs, hedgehogs, etc—work together to play the music on the record. A multicultural group of people working together and living in harmony was not a Nazi-friendly message. |

Alvin and the Chipmunks got a G rating despite a couple of references to sex; any sexual allusion is supposed to be an automatic PG. In the episode "Sploosh", Brittany's character at one point asks Jeanette (as the mermaid), "Are mermen sexier than human men?" Even better from "Simon Seville, Superstar", Simon is asked if he considers himself a sex symbol (bonus, Alvin does a more-or-less simultaneous and very loud gasp with the word "sex", just to confirm this trope). Simon demurs cutely and says "No... Only if glasses are sexy". When told that they are "very attractive", he pulls out ones that are older and even more noticeable. |

Chinese laws (as well as South Korea's Game Rating and Administration Committee) forced Girls' Frontline to censor various T-DOLL artworks for being too revealing. This also applies to the English version, but in certain versions (Korean notwithstanding) there exists what is effectively a Cheat Code to get an uncensor patch, which MICA Team refuses to confirm or deny the existence of. This involves constructing a T-DOLL using 522 Manpower, 320 Ammo, 404 Rations, and 137 Parts, then immediately force-closing the game.

The 1981 Betty and Veronica story "Saved by the Bell" contravenes the Marriage and Sex section of the 1971 revision. Right at the start of the story, Betty loudly says that Archie is "SEXY!" She's anxious around him, because his "touch does weird things to my body." They start making out, and while the story doesn't go beyond kissing due to Jughead interrupting things, it really does look like they were going to have sex — and this isn't even portrayed negatively, the way Cheryl's promiscuity was. Sure, Betty is relieved that Jughead interrupted them, but this is portrayed as normal teenage awkwardness rather than a problem with sex per se. | |

Army pays lip service to the idea of the patriotic duty of Japanese citizens, and the duty of Japanese parents to give their sons to the Emperor, but the ending sends a very different message. Maka's anxiety about her son going off to war has already been established by a shot of her silently weeping as Shintaro gives her a massage. In the last scene she is sweeping up the house as the sounds of the soldiers marching to the train station can be heard. Suddenly she crumples to the floor. Maka dully recites the five principles of the soldier. Then she snaps out of her fugue and goes on a desperate dash through the neighborhood to the parade route. A sobbing, grief-striken Maka manages to see her son one last time before he marches away. The film ends with her praying. It seems safe to presume this was not what the Japanese government had in mind when it commissioned this film. | |

When the title character of Suzy gives a broke showgirl some money, she says it's from her rich uncle. When the showgirl expresses surprise that Suzy has an uncle in London, she says "I haven't got any relatives anywhere, but I got a rich uncle." In other words, she has a sugar daddy. | |

Alvin and the Chipmunks 3: Chipwrecked and 4: Road Chip were both rated G despite drug references; Ian in Chipwrecked mentions "one time Snoop started a blaze just using two carrot sticks!" and the "Uptown Munk" number in Road Chip mentions "white gold", better known as cocaine. The G rating does not allow any drug references at all outside of an educational context. | |

Black Narcissus is dripping with the kind of innuendo the BBFC was not OK with in 1947: The Old General mentions importing plenty of sausages for the nuns to eat. When the nuns first meet Mr Dean, Sister Clodagh says she wants to talk to him on business. He responds "I don't suppose you want to talk to me about anything else", prompting an offended look from Sister Briony. Mr Dean says of the Old General "he too is a superior being", again getting a scandalised look from the nuns. When Mr Dean asks Clodagh to take in Kanchi and the nun is studying the young woman, he watches the pair of them with barely disguised amusement and almost lasciviously asks "You're sure there's no question you're dying to ask me?" practically daring Clodagh to demand whether Kanchi is his lover. She refuses to ask, so the viewer never finds out either way. The Young General mistakenly says he'll study physics "with the physical sister". Sister Clodagh says of her former beau Conn "I had already shown that I loved him", which seems to imply that they had premarital sex. As she is Irish, it's possible Clodagh fled the Magdalene Laundries where she could have been sent as punishment. |

"Nous les amoureux" ("We the lovers") by Jean-Claude Pascal, the song that landed Luxembourg its first Eurovision win in 1961. Its lyrics are about a relationship between the singer and a lover rejected by everyone else ("They would like to separate us. They would like to hinder us from being happy."), yet shows faith that will be accepted further down the line. As Pascal explained years later, the song was actually about a homosexual relationship, and knowing the topic would have been controversial in The '60s, the lyrics were deliberately ambiguous and avoided any reference to the lovers' genders so that the subtext slipped past listeners. | |

On at least two occasions, the Darkwing Duck comics had dialogue in the floppies which was spicier than it should have been, and so it was removed from the trade paperback: Issue #2, when Darkwing sees the Crimebots being upgraded with accessories. Issue #3 of the comic when Megavolt says "I bet he had a crappy office job all this time!" in reference to Darkwing. The good word was changed to "crummy" in the trade. |

Dokapon Kingdom: The game is rated a mere E10+, and yet it still manages to get away with the King saying, "assolutely flabulous." The fact that this line is used in the very last cutscene of a game that approximates 30+ hours makes it rather easy for ratings boards to not find out about it. | |

In the Gravity Falls episode "Roadside Attraction", When Darlene is talking to Stan after she traps him in her web, she tells him that "This time, you're the one getting used for your body", referring to the fact that she's going to eat him. Simply referencing the act of using another person for selfish purposes would have been fine, but specifying that it's for their body leaves little wiggle room for non-sexual interpretations. Afterwards, "Allow me to slip into something more horrifying." before she transforms, a parody of the famous "Slip into Something More Comfortable" line often used right before a nude scene/sex. In America, this episode was rated TV-Y7. | |

Kid 'N Play intentionally subvert the "Parental Advisory" stickers in their album Funhouse by creative use of interludes. The lyrics themselves are completely devoid of curses or suggestive lyrics, but the studio outtakes and conversations used as interludes are definitely not suitable for children. Despite this, Funhouse has never received a "Parental Advisory" sticker either; which was even lampshaded in one of the interludes when the duo and their producer Hurby Azor were going over the tapes: | |

C8+ says "No profanity". In the episode "Feral Scream Part 1", Megatron curses "Fuck" after being attacked by Cheetor, covered by only the barest of distortion. C8+ shows are meant to have no profanity. After Silverbolt's illegal flirting with Blackarachnia: |

The SpongeBob SquarePants episode "SpongeBob in RandomLand" contains a reference to the infamous Red Mist creepypasta, with Squidward opening a door only to be jump scared by an image of a less bloody version of the iconic Red Mist Squidward thumbnail. Oh, and instead of blood, the dark glow around his eyes is also dripping from his eyes, implying that he's bleeding ink instead. Unfortunately, it was soon replaced with an image of a baby Squidward crapping his diaper due to, in the words of Vincent Waller, "an S&P issue". | |

Steve L. Kent in The Ultimate History of Video Games discusses how Nintendo's censors went out of their way to censor things that could even be considered offensive from the NES port of Maniac Mansion (which Douglas Crockford corroborates here). They went through all of that trouble to have the creators remove even some innocent things... and completely missed the fact that you can put a hamster in a microwave and essentially nuke it, then give the exploded remains back to its previous owner! They fixed this only in the international release, when it was too late to revoke it from the original US port. | |

South Park: In the original airing of the episode "Ike's Wee Wee", Mr. Mackey's "I don't need to take your right-wing authoritative bullshit!" was said unbleeped. It was caught immediately and bleeped on all subsequent reruns and even the Season 2 DVD release, only being restored in the HD remaster. As Matt and Trey confirmed in the commentary, "Something You Can Do With Your Finger" got away with using the word "cunt" uncensored in "Wendy's Cussing Song" despite being one of the few profane words considered too extreme to go unbleeped at the time. It helps that the song is based off subverting Curse Cut Short so it doesn't seem like she said "cunt" on paper. (The other swears she says in the song were already frequently said uncensored.) There is a similar joke in "Raisins" when Stan tells Jimmy to pass on a message to Wendy that she's a "continuing source of inspiration to him," but due to Jimmy's stutter, all Wendy hears before she storms off is "Stan says you're a cont-... Stan says you're a cont-... you're a cont-..." One of the reasons why Kenny is The Unintelligible is that his voice actor (Matt Stone) can easily get away with saying stuff that would normally get bleeped out on television. |

Even though Animal Jam has moderation, it didn't always catch players performing what resembled sexual acts (a male animal jumping on a sleeping female animal used to be a common sight) and arranging furniture to spell out profane words. This resulted in complaints from parents; see this news report for an example.note Despite being reported in 2015, the video clip used in the news report was from probably 2011-2013, when the game was taking its baby steps. | |

Road Rovers was rated TV-G, which means "no strong language". At one point, discussing Russian names, Blitz, Colleen, and Exile used the example of "Sonov". Add that to the patronymic suffix "-ovich" and you'll see why that song got cut for later airings, and is suspected by fans to be part of the reason it was cancelled. See the video here. | |

Kirby's Dream Land 3: The True Final Boss, Zero, is a giant eye with a red iris who shoots blood at you as an attack, and later rips the iris out of its body in a gory manner to keep fighting. Once you defeat the boss, it explodes in a shower of blood. The game is rated K-A/E, most likely because reaching the boss requires going out of your way to find it. It took 15 years for the ESRB to catch on with the Compilation Rerelease Kirby's Dream Collection Special Edition, which is rated E10+ with a content warning for "animated blood". However, standalone re-releases of Dream Land 3 are still E-rated, despite the game contents being mostly unchanged since the 1997 release. | |

Brian Konietzko and Michael Dante DiMartino decided to work a same-sex romance in The Legend of Korra; as Koneitzko explains here, the higher-ups at Nickelodeon wouldn't allow an explicitly lesbonic relationship, but they were able to work it in through lots of subtle signs and hints, culminating in a final shot of Korra and Asami holding hands and gazing into each other's eyes as romantic music plays. | |

Mork & Mindy is the trope namer. As Robin Williams himself says in the documentary Pioneers of Television: Robin Williams Remembered, he would try to sneak all manner of things past the censors, frequently hiding dirty foreign jokes within Mork's gibberish alien languagenote To his disappointment, ABC eventually put a stop to this by specifically hiring censors fluent in the languages they knew he used. | |

On 21 February 2017 episode of Jeopardy!, during the College Tournament, Stanford student Viraj Mehta displayed an extended middle finger for at least seven seconds, supposedly to illustrate his interview subject, the geometry of folded pizza slices. Mehta later confirmed on Twitter that his gesture was deliberate. | |

In the Little Witch Academia episode "Discipline", there's a picture of comments on a website with a design similar to Tumblr. One of the comments on the website is "Piece of shit game, piece of shit referee." Also, one of the comments Croix was looking at related to the Wild Hunt in "Stanship Take Off!" said, "Wow! people actually believe in this bullshit". This warrants at least a TV-PG rating, but Netflix gives it TV-Y7. | |

In an issue of Deadpool by Daniel Way, the inner voices are very impressed with how they got him to say "dick" uncensored by reinterpreting it as slang for "detective". | |

In Gentlemen Prefer Blondes, the song "Ain't There Anyone Here For Love" has Jane Russell, in a low cut top, with a bunch of half-dressed guys at the gym who steadfastly ignore her. The Celluloid Closet presents this as a textbook case of subverting the Code, and offers an alternate reason why she's ignored. | |

There's a joke about a "Cleveland Steamer" in the Family Guy episode "Mr. Saturday Knight". What makes it even funnier is that the original joke used the less-vulgar term "half and half" which the censors wouldn't allow. In the DVD commentary, Seth said it was one of the most vile jokes they'd ever gotten away with, and that was mostly because the censors assumed that the writers had made the term "Cleveland steamer" up and didn't know it was an actual sexual term. | |

Schoolhouse Rock!: "Naughty Number Nine" was nearly unaired due to the fact that a recent television mandate at the time had issued a ban on cigarette commercials, and ABC didn't approve of the fact that the cat in the song smoked a cigar. However, the showrunners managed to get ABC to change their mind due to the fact that the mandate never prohibited smoking in children's shows, and that the cat was meant to be the villain of the song, thus dissuading children from being inspired to smoke. ABC relented, and "Naughty Number Nine" has gone completely unedited ever since. | |

Even bowdlerised, Rurouni Kenshin has some stuff that goes beyond the TV-Y7 rating it received when aired on Toonami. Naturally, it found an audience with older viewers, to the extent that producer Sean Akins later realised they should have put it on [adult swim]: A shocking amount of blood was left in. Sanosuke's "Damn it! That guy's totally off his rocker." was left intact in episode 6. A train robber got to yell "Damn it! What are those guys doing?" in episode 22. |

A Legion Of Superheroes story from a 1973 issue of Superboy has Dream Girl, who is unmarried, sleeping in a bed large enough for two people, and Dave Cockrum draws a human-shaped bulge under the blanket next to her and the top of a blond head of hair peeking out from under the blanket. For context, the Comics Code forbade any indication that extramarital sex exists at this point (this restriction stopped being enforced in the 1980s and was outright removed in 1989). | |

On a few occasions, a Yu-Gi-Oh! card has been released that had to be swiftly changed when Upper Deck Entertainment or Konami realised they had missed something. The stripperiffic Harpy Lady, whose original outfit only had two strips of cloth covering her breasts. The censored version has a shirt underneath. Harpie Girl originally featured a very detailed look at her very large, shapely posterior. The censorship was missed in the first run and was fixed later, but it was too late. It's harder to find the censored version. After its initial release, the card "After Genocide" was renamed to "After the Struggle". |

In Disney's The Rescuers, during the scene where Bernard and Miss Bianca are flying aboard the back of Orville through the city, a small image of a topless woman is visible (for two nonconsecutive frames) pasted in the window of a building in the background. The 1999 Masterpiece Collection VHS tapes containing the image were recalled almost immediately, and all subsequent releases of the film have, of course, been edited to exclude the image. There have been many urban legends surrounding Disney movies and purported hidden risqué content, but this remains the only incident to have been clearly deliberate and of an unquestionable nature. | |

Melanie in Gone with the Wind has to strip naked so her nightgown can be used to mop up the blood of the dead soldier. While her nudity is covered by angles and objects, the Code still forbade any nudity whatsoever. Not to mention, of course, that it contained quite possibly the most famous use of the word "damn" in an expletive sense in any Hays Code-era film. | |

"Addicted" by Simple Plan - according to Pierre Bouvier, the point of the song was to be the first band to get the word "dick" on to Much Music. "I'm a addic-dic-dic-dic-dicted to you." Another lyric is "I'm a dick. I'm addicted to you." This is hidden by the conceit that it's a hiccuped line: "I'm addic-, I'm addicted to you." | |

FLCL somehow only got a G rating upon its initial video release despite being jam-packed with nudity and double entendres that go far beyond "brief" and "infrequent". It seems like someone actually bothered to watch the DVD, because that release was upped to PG. | |

In 1974, Captain America first encountered the Committee to Regain America's Principles, a villainous organization whose acronym violated the ban on "[p]rofanity, obscenity, smut, vulgarity, or words or symbols which have acquired undesirable meanings" in the 1971 revision of the Code. | |
