Sometimes, a rather more direct Shout-Out or name dropping is attempted, but to do so would skirt dangerously close to trademark law. While there are plenty of ways to use substitutes or write around the trademarks, another way is to go ahead with the reference, but deliberately not go through with it, just far enough for the audience to know exactly who or what you're talking about. There are many ways to get around this visually: Censor mosaic, a black bar over the eyes, or pull back and only make a strong resemblance. But with dialogue, a common way is to have a character obliquely reference the Fourth Wall by stopping the mention before it finishes, directly warning the speaker about getting their makers in trouble. In writing, especially for comics and manga, whatever word they want to say will be said by the character, but the text of the name itself will be partially blanked out or substituted with wingdings. Subtrope of Think of the Censors!.

Faye Jackson got a joking chastisement on Reality Check Radio when she announced Cody Rhodes would be making his ROH debut at Final Battle, being told they can't say "Rhodes". Jim Ross made the same mistake when calling Cody's debut in NJPW, before grumpily correcting himself. |

Arrow. In Season 7, A.R.G.U.S. decides to bring back the Suicide Squad from earlier seasons, but calls it the Ghost Initiative instead as Warner Brothers stopped them using the word now it exists in the DCEU. Curtis starts to point out that Ghost Initiative is just a cooler name for the Suicide Squ—, but Lyla cuts him off. | |

The Simpsons: In-universe in "Lisa the Beauty Queen". The school fair includes the tagline "The Happiest Place on Earth," which the blue-haired lawyer says is a Disneyland trademark and threatens to sue Skinner. However, Skinner then uses his Green Beret training to beat up the lawyer and his goons with frightening efficiency. The Trope Namer is a line from the "Treehouse of Horror V" segment "The Shinning", which parodies The Shining. In "Simpsoncalifragilisticexpiala(Annoyed Grunt)cious", "Sherri Bobbins" is immediately recognized to be an obvious Expy of Mary Poppins, but she explains that she's a wholly original character, like "Ricky Rouse" or "Monald Muck". "Treehouse of Horror XI" opens with the Simpson family cast as The Munsters. Lisa/Marilyn is carrying a book of copyright law. "Children of a Lesser Clod" has an in-universe example: Krusty is singing to open an awards ceremony — only to yell for the music to stop after the first line, saying "One more line, and we have to pay for the song." "The President Wore Pearls" is a spoof of Evita (with Lisa as Eva Peron), but the end credits include the statement "On the advice of our lawyers, we have never heard of any musical about the life of Eva Peron". In "Four Great Women and a Manicure", Lisa tells the story of Snow White. The blue-haired lawyer guy tells her she can't because the tale belongs to Disney, but Lisa counters this by claiming the tale has been out forever and isn't owned by anyone. Plus, the dwarves were her own creation. Also, in the comic, everyone is about to sing Happy Birthday to You!, until the blue-haired lawyer advises them against it. |

Curt Hennig, at the time formerly Mr. Perfect in the WWF (now WWE), cut off frequent associate Rick Rude from calling him perfect on WCW television so they wouldn't get sued. TNA had another example, when the Planet Jarrett stable had a mock-funeral for Team 3D's career. James Storm started to mock one of the catchphrases they used in WWE as The Dudley Boys, only for Jeff Jarrett to cut him off: Jarrett has had a moment like that of his own. He defeated Mark Starr on the August 17, 1997 WCW Saturday Night. After the match, "Mean" Gene Okerlund called him "Double..uh, Jeff Jarrett", a reference to Jarrett's WWE Red Baron "Double J." |

In Rosario + Vampire: 2nd Year, when Kokoa magically shrinks into a child's body after one of Yukari's inventions backfires, the girls try to find clothes that would suit her condition. One of them is an Arale cosplay, which she at first takes in stride, but then tears the costume off while citing the trope. | |

This and many other references to the fact that these characters are not those other comic book characters are payback for legal threats from DC concerning their previous parody, "Superduperman". Ironically, MAD had predicted they would get sued for their still earlier Dragnet parody, whose opening caption said, "Only the names haven't been changed so as not to protect the writer of this story!" | |

Aqua Teen Hunger Force: In one episode the Plutonians use a device called a Fargate to cross time and space. And the not-Powerpuff Girl (honest!) with a mohawk and in a wheelchair on their T-shirt. This from "2-and-a-Half-Star Wars Out Of Five". Hilariously this is the only moment in the episode that invokes this trope while for most the episode and a few moments after this scene the trope is averted. |

A Rita and Runt cartoon on Animaniacs features songs that are parodies of the music from Beauty and the Beast. By the end of the cartoon when Rita finishes the last song, Runt comments, "That was nice. I hope we don't get sued." A commercial for the show on Cartoon Network started with "The REAL reason Cartoon Network baseball cap are $18." This is followed by a montage of all the famous names and works dropped throughout the series' run, with a total of legal fees to be paid tallying up in the corner. At the end, the price of the hat has gone up to $24. |

Happens every five minutes in Hayate the Combat Butler; every single trademarked name is bleeped out, which leads to some pretty bleep-heavy sentences where otaku Nagi is involved. A particularly funny example shows up when Hayate is about to use a sword technique whose name starts with "Hiten--" His opponent cuts him off, saying they can't risk that kind of reference, even with bleeps. In the manga, this is even lampshaded in the one instance it was actively avoided — when the Sega game Mushiking was mentioned without editing, one character wondered aloud about whether it should be. It was pointed out that they got permission to use it, and thus needed to repeat the game's name as much as possible. The anime's second season averts all this, with barely any lack of pop culture references. |

Clerks: The Animated Series dealt with this a few times. During Episode 3's spoof of Outbreak, the show stops to explain that all references to Dustin Hoffman will be replaced with Al Pacino (due to a recent lawsuit by Hoffman). In Episode 4's "animated by a Korean studio" sequence, the appearance of a small mouse-like creature that shoots lightning is soon advised by the narrator as "NOT PIKACHU PLEASE DON'T SUE!" Even more hilarious since the same company that distributed Clerks the movie also distributed the 4th through 7th Pokemon movies in the States. Said studio's former parent company now also owns the network the Pokemon anime has aired on since 2017. In Episode 5, Randall's high school yearbook photo has his head placed over the famous photo of General Nguyen. For reasons that eluded the writers, adding a fictional character to a cartoon version of a copyrighted photo didn't legally constitute parody - until they added a caption.◊. |

Westeros: An American Musical: The play's entire idea is to retell the plot of A Song of Ice and Fire with Hamilton song parodies. One of the songs gets interrupted because a certain Lord Lin-Manuel from House Miranda sends a "cease and desist" notice due to too many similarities with its Hamilton counterpart. | |

The Order of the Stick: Lawyers from Wizards of the Coast intervene in a battle to remove their intellectual property. The printed version of those comics actually removed the names "mind flayer" and "illithid" from the earlier strips featuring the Squid Thingy, replacing them with "brain eater" and "illithoid". This is later used to Vaarsuvius's advantage when they end up in a fight with a Drizzt knock-off. Later we discover that he's protected by parody clause and allowed to return. The print version of Book 1 features a new, print-exclusive prologue, explaining that the story takes place in the world of a popular roleplaying game — though they can't say which one because it would be a trademark violation. Cut to a panel with players at a table suggesting they play three Bland-Name Product knockoffs of the actual name of the game. |

Adam Warren ran this joke into the ground for his Gen¹³ limited series Magical Drama Queen Roxy. Usually said by the "fairy god critter" (who also apologizes for saying "bibbity boppity boo" and mentioning Whitney Houston's Cinderella). Toward the end he does the death scene from Titanic with a large sign in front of "Jack's" face, saying "not really (a series of increasingly silly misspellings of Leo's name), really!!" | |

Used in the classic MAD parody "Bat Boy and Rubin!", with signs visible in nearly every page about how they shouldn't be sued over this parody. Also: This and many other references to the fact that these characters are not those other comic book characters are payback for legal threats from DC concerning their previous parody, "Superduperman". Ironically, MAD had predicted they would get sued for their still earlier Dragnet parody, whose opening caption said, "Only the names haven't been changed so as not to protect the writer of this story!" |

One suggests Yukio the Yuki-onna, who works there, star as a character who freezes things with her power.

Lucky Star: "Don't you have any special talents?" "Talents, hmm... I can name every single Po__mon!" They actually took this to the point where it verged on parody in one scene: Konata and her dad were talking about Gundam... while avoiding any names, images blurred, and censor bars over their eyes. Another episode censors Code Geass and Lelouch's name. Ironically, Bandai would later get the rights to license both Code Geass and Lucky Star. Also, the Image Song "Yuuchou Sentai Dararenjaa" cut short a reference to Kamen Rider 555. Also ironically, Bandai has the license to produce Kamen Rider merchandise. Thus they can make references to other properties they own. There's several references to Kamen Rider Den-O instead throughout, almost all of them being catchphrases of Momotaros. (And obviously Super Sentai as a whole with the name, and a couple veiled referencess to Ninpuu Sentai Hurricaneger thrown in.) Also, they referenced Dragon Quest V and how the player has a choice of which woman the main character can marry. "A childhood friend? Or a rich lady? One has lots of money... And the ability to cast Boho_mi and I___zun." (Bohoimi = Midheal and Ionazun = Kaboom) |

In Gintama, during the Bentendo Owee arc, Katsura makes a showy entrance in a costume that's obviously based on that of certain plumber, which prompts an onlooker to ask whether he's Mario, though he cuts them off before they can say the "o"...but he goes ahead and says, "It's not Mario, it's Katsu--", which gets him a kick in the face from Shinpachi. Subverted when it turns out he just was annoyed at Katsura's stupidity for appearing directly in front of Shinsengumi when they intend to arrest him (though Hijikata is stupid enough to think he's actually Mario). | |

You'll have Manhattan, the Bronx and Staten Island too!" He then gets a phone call (presumably from Richard Rodgers's lawyer) with the message that they'll have to pay royalties if they quote any more. The Indian threatens to bring on another phone call by mentioning his wife's preference for "baubles, bangles, bright shiny beads." | |

In one chapter of My Hero Academia, the students of Class 1-A are tasked with coming up with their superhero names. Mina, whose power is generating Hollywood Acid, wants to call herself "Heroine of Ridley: Alien Queen".note In his notes, the author mentions that "Heroine of Cameron" would have been more appropriate. Professional heroine Midnight, who's rating the names, points out that using the name could get Mina in trouble and has her think of another one. In chapter 20 of the spin-off My Hero Academia: Vigilantes, a random villain shows up who's a giant turtle that flies by spinning. One of the bystanders starts to identify it as Gamera, but is cut off by a another yelling "Don't say it, that's a lawsuit waiting to happen!" |

Another Yu-Gi-Oh Abridged example was, strangely enough, a retroactive instance of this trope. Tea said "It is on in a matter similar to that of Donkey Kong." Shortly after the episode was released, by complete coincidence, Nintendo filed a trademark on the real phrase, "It's on like Donkey Kong." | |

Arne Anka, has an episode where the titular character, an anthropomorphic duck for the record, has been invited to a wedding but has a problem finding anything formal to wear for it. After digging through his wardrobe, all he is able to find is an old sailor suit, but after trying it on, Arne observes that he cannot not show himself in public wearing it as it makes him look highly reminiscent of a certain other anthropomorphic duck, and he would likely get sued. And indeed, Disney had previously threatened the comic with a lawsuit. | |

In Episode 4's "animated by a Korean studio" sequence, the appearance of a small mouse-like creature that shoots lightning is soon advised by the narrator as "NOT PIKACHU PLEASE DON'T SUE!" Even more hilarious since the same company that distributed Clerks the movie also distributed the 4th through 7th Pokemon movies in the States. Said studio's former parent company now also owns the network the Pokemon anime has aired on since 2017. |

Super Robot Wars W when Lowe from Gundam SEED Astray accidentally re-routes all the Red Frame's power to one of its hand plugs, and attacks an enemy with it. While this attack is known in its original series as the "Thunder Ball", Gai Daigoji is cut off before he can suggest calling it the "Shining Finger" - by a character who shares the same voice actor as Ryusei Date, in a bit of creative irony (Ryusei's own R-1 has the completely original T-Link Knuckle). In Super Robot Wars: Original Generation 2, Sleigh Presty pilots a red mech that goes very fast. When one character suggests calling her the "Red Comet", his familiars break out this line. |

In the Japanese version of Mega Man 7, Mega Man will sometimes converse with Roll or Auto instead of Dr. Light after acquiring a new weapon (screenshots with translations here). One of these is likely meant as a parody of the trope since it references a property jointly-owned by Capcom: | |

In The Wotch, Anne attempts to make Jason's comics into moving pictures, but instead brings them to life... as obvious Expy clones. When Jason suggests that magic has to obey copyright laws, Robin points out that even he, a non-comic fan, can tell which character is which, and starts to name them, to be quickly interrupted with: | |

No Game No Life: When Sora and Shiro see the Flugels' castle, they try to bring it down with "Ba*se", but fail. Upon seeing that the video game in which they're fighting against the Warbeasts' representation looks like it's in Tokyo, Sora and Shiro are briefly thrown into a crippling Heroic BSoD, believing that it's their world, where they're NEETs unable to go outside. After snapping out of it, Sora tries to convince Shiro that it's a video game, like "Pers*na or Stein's G*te or Akiba Str*p", while characters from the games (Chie, Kurisu and Kati) appear with black strips over their eyes. More subtly, before the characters appear, there's a mostly yellow background that's highly reminiscent of the menu screens in Persona 4. |

In Kick-Ass the superhero Big Daddy is described several times as looking like Batman, almost always followed by a panicked "I never said he looked like Batman!!!" | |

Nanbaka does this a lot in the episode where Upa faces Nico. Nico being an anime fan, he has lots of things he wants to say that correspond to his hobby, such as how Upa did the Kame*bleep*meha. Then again, he also wanted to do (and successfully pulled off) a R*bleep*der *bleep*ick. The other prisoners of cell 13 have to censor his references, although they let more slippery ones like "Balse!" go scot-free. | |

Echocalypse: One easter egg is an obvious reference to the Pirahna plant, looking just like one carved in red gemstone, with cat ears coming out of a cylinder that looks suspiciously like a warp pipe. Kiki says it best in the comments: | |

At one point in Goblin Slayer, the party comes across what is clearly a Beholder. However, when one of the party asks what it is, another member says it's a being that cannot be named. On one hand, it implies the monster is a horrifying Eldritch Abomination that should be feared. On the other hand, it pokes fun at the fact that Wizards of the Coast, the creators of DnD, take the copyrights on their original monsters very seriously and seldomly let them be properly used in other properties. | |

Family Guy Notably averted in the Stephen King parody, which ends with this nonchalant line:note Though according to the DVD commentary, the creators did obtain King's approval. In another episode, the characters refer a few times to McDaniels and various generic-sounding expies of McDonald's products, followed each time by a frustrated lampshade by Quagmire. Yet another episode has Brian and Stewie sharing candy they got for Halloween over the ending credits, but as Stewie says, they're not allowed to use real-world candy names and instead come up with various names that are almost but not quite the same. It ends with Stewie muttering, "God, I hate television." |
