Line 92:
* Happens a lot in cartoons to get around the [[Moral Guardians]]. You'll see stars and planets shooting into frame from offscreen and you get to see the onlookers wincing reactions.
* ''[[The Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy]]'': Billy and Mandy pulled this during one episode. As an epic showdown between [[It Makes Sense in Context|mushroom-mining dwarfs and cookie-baking elves is about to take place,]] [[R. Lee Ermey]] himself pops up on screen, telling viewers that the fight "is inappropriate for our younger viewers." [[Relax-O-Vision|We are then treated to around 45 seconds of a panda cleaning itself]] before Ermey brings us back with his signature "Carry on!"
* ''[[South Park]]'' "My god! This battle is epic! This is even more epic than the final battle in the ''[[The Lord of the Rings (film)|The Lord of the Rings]]'' movie, this is like [[Take Our Word for It|ten times more epic than that battle!]]"
* Ironically, in the Rankin-Bass ''animated [[The Return of the King (animation)|The Return of the King]],'' even during epic battles, all violence is hidden: a human will fall out-of-frame to the left, and then an orc will enter the frame, and swing his axe in the direction of the (hidden) human.
** It also happens in their version of ''[[The Hobbit]]'' some examples include when Gandalf kills The Great Goblin you see him swing the sword and it cuts to the Great Goblin grabbing at his throat and falling into a tunnel, when Bilbo stabs the spiders you see closeups of their spinning faces, and during The Battle of Five Armies the only impacts shown are when an enemy is hit with a shield other than that they swing their weapons and it cuts to the enemy falling, and from a distance you see dots throwing spears and arrows at each other.
