* 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. |

* 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 - for example, 'fuck' became 'bake'. But some of them were just bizarre. 'Little' was auto-changed to 'cilantro', 'video' was changed to 'recipe', 'girl' was changed to 'steak'... |
