* Nintendo's tendency to remove blood from its games was referenced in ''[[Melee's End]]'' episode 5:
HEY LISTEN!
{{quote|'''Mario:''' What do you want, Ganondorf?
'''Ganondorf:''' I have come for your ''blood''.
'''Marth:''' Oh, not my blood!
'''Star Fox:''' You don't even know what blood is.
'''Mario:''' Guys, this is a ''Nintendo game''. Don't worry.
'''Ganondorf:''' I've coughed up plenty of blood in my day. Nintendo can't save you now!
'''Star Fox:''' [[Ocarina of Time|Your blood is green.]] }}
* The first half of [[Red vs. Blue]]'s second season was criticized for a noticeable absence of vulgarity. Rooster Teeth tried toning down the language after receiving messages from people who wanted the videos to be appropriate to [[Not Safe for Work|watch at work]]. When the removal of language was met with an even worse reaction, the cast and crew decided to abandon the idea. The hilariously over-the-top profanity of Caboose's "mental image" of Church served as the point where the show's dialog returned to form.
* Parodied in ''[[Arfenhouse]] Teh Movie Too'', where one character says "ow" while the subtitle shows "FUCK!!!" struck out before it.
Line 6 ⟶ 13:
{{quote|'''AVGN:''' "Whoever came up with this is an [[Bleep, Dammit!|ass[bleep]]]!... Ass!... Hole?... Ass[bleep]! [[Sarcasm Mode|Television makes a]] ''[[Sarcasm Mode|lot]]'' [[Sarcasm Mode|of sense.]]"}}
* Lampshaded in [[Paw Dugan]]'s ''Top 9 Composers'' video, where Paw is [[Trapped in TV Land|Trapped In Game Land]]. In the ''[[Wolfenstein 3D]]'' portion, he comes upon Bowdlerized versions of the Hitler portraits and comments that something's missing. After a quick [[Fade Out]] and [[Fade In]], we see a crudely painted toothbrush mustache applied to the painting as Paw comments "Much better!"
* Forumer (a free internet forum provider) decided to update their TOS to become more child and general audiences friendly. They also decided to run a program that changed all sorts of words on ''every single Forumer forum'' to "work safe" alternatives. The change was based around cooking - cilantro,for cilantroexample, peppery'fuck' cilantro.became 'bake'. But some of them were just bizarre. I'Little' likewas monkeysauto-changed whoto wash'cilantro', their'video' handswas changed to 'recipe', 'girl' was changed to 'steak'...
* ''[[Psycomedia]]'' uses Freud as a substitute profanity, to highlight that [[All Psychology Is Freudian]] is not true. Oh Freud...
* This very wiki. [[Robin Williams]] didn't say "[[Getting Crap Past the Radar|Getting ''Crap'' Past the Radar]]".
