Line 91:

*** (Little Guy crashes through the window) "Forgiveness, please!"

* 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 ~~and~~ 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!"
