Writers who have to deal with Media Watchdogs on a daily basis love nothing more than to make fun of the folks who ruin their fun, usually by slipping in something that they hope the censors wouldn't notice.
This trope, on the other hand, is the inverse of that, where the writers allude to something that would upset the censors, but instead have the characters Breaking the Fourth Wall by acknowledging the censors themselves and how they wouldn't like what the characters are about to do, usually be mentioning the work's intended age group, its timeslot or sometimes even the parent company. Ironically if you think about it, this means that discussing the subject is allowed, but the actual act is not.
This often shows up in cartoons, sometimes as a form of Parental Bonus. In older cartoons this was done as a reference to The Hays Code, but in other media it can also reference The Comics Code and the Entertainment Software Rating Board.
A variation (or justified one, depending on your view) is if the characters are in the company of someone who shouldn't be exposed to naughty language.
Supertrope of You Wanna Get Sued? (where the characters realize that mentioning something copyrighted or protected by law will get them in trouble). Compare Too Hot for TV, Our Lawyers Advised This Trope, Narrative Profanity Filter and Profanity Police.

in Paperinik New Adventures, Space mercenary Neopard spouts alien expletives all throughout the two issues he appears in. When in the last two pages of the first issue Donald asks him what do they even mean, Neopard whispers something in his ear, and he freaks out saying "You can't say that kind of stuff in a teen-rated comic!!"

Bleach:
Captain Mayuri revives his horribly injured lieutenant Nemu with some offscreen method that causes her to moan in pleasure. Uryu Ishida complains that he can't tell what he saw happen, but is pretty sure it can't be shown on TV.
When Chizuru becomes one of the Karakura Rangers, Uryu (as the commentator) notes that only one of her attacks can get past the censors.

In the English version of Atelier Iris: Eternal Mana there's a scene where young Norn, who's afraid of going to bed on her own, innocently ask Klein if he can sleep next to her. Klein's response? "I can't, the ESRB would go nuts!" Here's the scene in question.

The MythBusters have run up against this more than once. For instance, when testing if it's possible to polish a turd, Adam starts the show by dutifully listing all the euphemisms for "turd" that they're not allowed to use (which, of course, were all bleeped out). In another one, they were testing if swearing helped to deal with pain; Adam made mouth guards to help the censors out by keeping people's foul mouths from needing to be blurred out - "Blurs are expensive, but bleeps are cheap!" They've also been known to make dangerous substances by "mixing blur with blur", verbally acknowledging that the ingredients are being censored in order to prevent viewers at home from learning how to make those substances.

In an episode of Whose Line Is It Anyway?, one of the Scenes From a Hat was "Things that will get bleeped by the censors." Sure enough, everything the players said was bleeped out.
Wayne is especially prone to swearing during "Scene to Rap," but once caught himself and did a verbal backspace "because we're on a family show!"
In a lot of scenes for the show that were cut from TV, you'll hear a running joke of a statement along the lines of "You can't say that on TV!"
In a game of "Hollywood Director", Brad asks Ryan and Wayne if they want to see his fingers turn blurry. Cue just that when he give them each a one-finger salute.

Looney Tunes, "A Tale of Two Kitties":
A previously lost gag from "Farm Frolics" (found by animation historians in 2022) has a similar gag, with a spitting grasshopper informing the audience that the Hays Office won't let him spit on-screen. This would be used a year later in "A Hop, a Skip and a Chump."

One episode of Aqua Teen Hunger Force started with Frylock telling Meatwad he can't say the word "Jesus Christ" on T.V. because of Standards and Practices, which is then followed by a parody video about censors. For the rest of the episode, Jesus is called "Gee Whiz" (the name of the episode) and curse words are censored with giant red "X"s and various dumb sound effects.

Animaniacs: In general, whenever something off-color was implied, Yakko would tell the audience "Goodnight, everybody!" as if they were going to be pulled off the air any minute. It's one of his Catch Phrases, which says a lot about the show's kind of humour.
In "Turkey Jerky", a pilgrim hunting a turkey orders Yakko, Wakko, and Dot to "Give me the bird!" Yakko responds with "We'd love to, really, but the Fox censors won't allow it." (in a possible nod to "A Tale of Two Kitties")
A similar gag shows up in "This Pun For Hire", when a MacGuffin in the form of a bird statue falls into the Warners' hands.
This trope gets thrown out in a "Wheel of Morality" bit, when Wakko's response to Yakko's "It's that time again!" is "To make the Fox censors cry?"
In one of the "Dot's Poetry Corner" segments, Dot recites "Ode to a Veggie":
Their Night Before Christmas parody included the line "He then laid his finger inside of his nose/Which our dear network censor finds totally gross."
The reboot continues this trend as well, with several more instances of "Goodnight Everybody!", some cut-off or bait-and-switch swears, two instances of the word "hell", and this memorable exchange (with the conductor known for messing up his m words):

Sam & Max: Freelance Police:
Max uses a variation along the lines of "I never dreamed we could have this much fun and still be suitable for young viewers!".
During a skit about the human body, Sam thoughtfully informs us that they're not allowed to show blood when discussing the function of the heart, since it's a children's show. Of course, he says this in front of a completely red background.

In the first episode of Nyaruko: Crawling with Love!, Mahiro interrupts Nyarko's Motor Mouth rambling and gets her attention by stabbing a fork into the table next to her hand. Her response is a panicked "What are you doing?! Are you trying to get us cancelled?!" Note that in the original light novels, Mahiro's fork-stabs produce fountains of High-Pressure Blood, while in the TV anime they only cause Cranial Eruptions.

Family Feud: When a question or a response on the current incarnation of drifts into questionable waters, Steve Harvey will often note to the contestants that the show's title is "Family Feud" and thus they should think about what they're saying. A borderline example given that he usually says that after the contestant has said something Harvey thinks is inappropriate. And sometimes, much to his chagrin, their answer actually is up on the board, though usually in Unusual Euphemism form.
On one episode, a pastor's wife guessed "sperm" as something you put in your mouth but don't swallow, leading Steve to give an entire "The Reason You Suck" Speech to the contestant in anticipation of it being on the board. Steve was immediately relieved when it wasn't.

The reboot continues this trend as well, with several more instances of "Goodnight Everybody!", some cut-off or bait-and-switch swears, two instances of the word "hell", and this memorable exchange (with the conductor known for messing up his m words):

Never Give a Sucker an Even Break: Notorious drinker W. C. Fields strolls into a drugstore and orders an ice cream soda. He asides to the audience: "This scene's supposed to be in a saloon but the censor cut it out. It'll play just as well this way," even blowing the foam off his soda as one would a heady beer. (Supposedly that scene was supposed to be in a bar and censors actually did make him change it.)

The Colbert Report:
Played with when Stephen Colbert interviewed Cee Lo Green regarding his profanity-laden single:
Cee Lo ultimately agrees to replace "Fuck you" with the far-more positive "Fox News".
The radio edit replaces the "Fuck You" with "Forget You". It could also be an example of this trope, an artist preferring to change his song himself before the real censors can leave it a mass of bleeps or blank space.

Phineas and Ferb:
In "Raging Bully", Buford picks a fight with Phineas, and there's a big build-up to the confrontation, including a Training Montage and the construction of a large stadium. Then the referee tells Buford and Phineas "In no way should this ensuing fight contain the image of potentially harmful, hurtful, or psychologically disturbing physical acts that could be found imitable by an impressionable child viewer" (a direct quote of Disney's Standards and Practices guidelines), and much to Buford's disappointment they're forced to settle it with a comically over-the-top thumb-wrestling match.
In "The Inator Method", Buford's ride in the planetary race is Uranus, which he pronounces as "Ouranos".

Popeye
"Shape Ahoy," ends with a Frank Sinatra look-alike sailing away with Olive Oyl on a raft. Popeye and Bluto look on, flabbergasted, and then say "Well I'll be a —", and at that moment two real-life hands cover their mouths. They finish the sentence silently with a gigantic "CENSORED" over each of their mouths.
In "Cartoons Ain't Human," Popeye is animating his own cartoon. He sees a calendar pin-up girl and proceeds to draw something. A live action hand shows up and stamps "Censored" on it.

Played with in the The Loud House fanfic Loud Heroes, which has a T rating unlike the original show's TV-Y7 one. At the beginning of the Loud siblings' fight with the fic-original villain Replicate in Chapter 60 (the fic's first chapter with prominent swearing), Luan says "Shit!" when Replicate grasps her. Lori tells Luan to watch her language as if she followed the canon series' rating, only to be told by Lincoln that it isn't necessary because the fic's rating allows them to curse.

In a stream showcasing Terry Bogard for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, Masahiro Sakurai says the reason that Mai Shiranui doesn't show up in Terry's stage is because "the game is for good boys and girls". It later became clear that this was a sarcastic jab at CERO's censoring policies, as neither SNK nor Sakurai himself had any apparent objection to the cameo.

Wheel of Fortune: Multiple times, when a puzzle has shown profanity, Pat will point out the obvious. Examples:
HELL-BENT FOR ELECTION.
A partially revealed puzzle that eventually was DAVID HASSELHOFF. At one point, the H's and E's were some of the letters that had not been filled in, but the A's and S's were among those revealed. Pat jokingly reprimanded the game coordinator for choosing the puzzle.
A partially revealed puzzle that eventually was BARBECUE SPIT. "S_IT" was showing, and the contestant called an "H." "Thankfully, no," remarked Pat before moving the game along to the next contestant.
A bonus round puzzle was "CUSSWORDS," to which Pat jokingly stated that they were going to have to wash mouths out with soap.

Throughout development of the series' previous entry, Palutena and a Wonder Pink trophy had to be censored multiple times before they were given the green light by CERO, and a Tharja trophy was outright axed. It happened again when Bayonetta was added as DLC (though her case is a little more understandable). Sakurai made it clear in an interview that he was none too pleased with CERO, calling their policies "juvenile".

In one strip, the characters discuss various topics you can't discuss on the comics page. No fourth wall in this strip, folks.
A Running Gag in the strip consists of one of the cast members providing an Accidental Innuendo (or not-so-accidental, if it's Rat) and a censor going after them in response.

Family Guy:
Done in "The Road to Rhode Island":
This is a reference to Road to Morocco; see above.
Also on the "Road To..." episode where Stewie and Brian travel to London to see Jolly Farm, there was Stewie's line about Brian during their "We're Too Different to Ever Be Pals" song: "And you get a kick out of stroking your..." Brian cuts him off with the old, "You can't say that on TV" line, but the trope is subverted (and a played straight version of the Subverted Rhyme Every Occasion trope) when Stewie tells Brian that the word he was about to say was "ego."
It's somewhat subverted in another episode, when Chris is dating a girl who looks exactly like Lois:

Artemis Fowl has the Gnomish curseword "D'arvit". When it's first used the narration points out they might as well leave it untranslated, as it'd only end up censored.

In Captain Underpants, Harold and George consider creating a crime-fighting urinal named "The Urinator", but remember that such a thing would never be allowed in a children's book. Dav Pilkey, the author of Captain Underpants, revealed that the character was almost a real thing, but when he posed the idea to his wife, she responded that he wouldn't be able to get away with it in a kids' book. Pilkey thought the exchange was so funny that he ended up putting it in the story.

BlazBlue:
During Makoto's gag reel in Continuum Shift Extend, Makoto attempts to tell Noel how to imitate daddy's "abs and gun show" routine. She refuses to demonstrate herself or have the act depicted because "we're already on thin ice with the ratings board as it is..." Hello pot, meet kettle.
In Ragna's Chronophantasma gag reel, Makoto and Bullet (both enchanted by the Spectacles of Eros Mk.II) try to vie for Ragna's attention with a sort of striptease. Noel stops it by warning that going any further might invoke the dreaded AO rating.

Histeria! didn't try to dodge the censor; rather the censor would actually come out "onstage" and let viewers know that what's being mentioned isn't appropriate for kids' TV (such as "vestal virgins," the Roman vomitoriums, the name of toilet inventor Thomas Crapper, or the phrases "War is hell" and "Damn the torpedoes") and would sometimes try to change it into something more appropriate (like when Billy the Kid told the kids on his show to go out to the shed and get his gun, the censor came out and told him that what he was suggesting kids do would lead to copycat accidents — and then she dressed him up like a girl so the network can get bigger ratings from girl viewers). The fact that the quotes and names are actual historical facts and Histeria! was an educational show probably helped to keep the real censors at bay.

In the Deadpool vs. Pinkie Pie DEATH BATTLE!, Deadpool's reaction to an army of Pinkie Pie clones is "Oh, what the—", then he notices the TV-Y7 logo in the corner of the screen and finishes with "heck".

In the Gravity Falls episode "Summerween", the flyer for the party Wendy and Robbie are going to was originally supposed to say "Bottles will be spun". Standards and Practices objected, on the grounds it could be misread as a reference to underage drinking, so it was changed to "Not S&P approved".

Super Smash Bros.:
Throughout development of the series' previous entry, Palutena and a Wonder Pink trophy had to be censored multiple times before they were given the green light by CERO, and a Tharja trophy was outright axed. It happened again when Bayonetta was added as DLC (though her case is a little more understandable). Sakurai made it clear in an interview that he was none too pleased with CERO, calling their policies "juvenile".
In a stream showcasing Terry Bogard for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, Masahiro Sakurai says the reason that Mai Shiranui doesn't show up in Terry's stage is because "the game is for good boys and girls". It later became clear that this was a sarcastic jab at CERO's censoring policies, as neither SNK nor Sakurai himself had any apparent objection to the cameo.
