== Professional Wrestling ==
* The [[World Wrestling Entertainment|WWE]]'s programs in the late '90s Attitude Era often had a content warning about violence and sexual situations—delivered by one of the resident Divas, who would [[The Vamp|vamp]] it up through the entire announcement. Sunny had the hottest way of saying, "Viewer discretion is advised"...
* On WWE DVDs, all of the trailers before the main menu are skippable—except for the mildly graphic one that shows the end result of any number of in-ring injuries, with the stern request to "Please DO NOT try this at home".
 
Line 271:
* [[Rob Zombie]]'s ''[[The Haunted World of El Superbeasto]]'' begins with a very straight faced rendition of the ''Frankenstein'' "friendly warning."
* ''[[The Simpsons]]''' first few "Treehouse of Horror" [[Halloween Episode]]s had these. The first one was a direct parody of the ''Frankenstein'' warning.
* In 1997, when the TV ratings were introduced, Nickelodeon put a content warning at the begining of ''[[KaBlam!]]!'', as it was the first Nicktoon (and the only show at the time, the others were TV-Y, TV-G, or not rated (game shows, Kids Choice Awards) to be given a TV-Y7 rating ([[The Ren and Stimpy Show]] was the first Y7 show, however it was cancelled at the time). It was dropped in season 3, when Nickelodeon didn't feel the need to use it anymore.
{{quote|'''Nickelodeon announcer''': Sometimes on ''[[KaBlam!]]!'', things go Kablam!, And that's why it's rated Y7 (''cue to Henry holding up a (heavy) TV-Y7 logo'')}}
* ''[[The Boondocks]]'' occasionally features a disclaimer, most notably before its episode focusing on closeted rapper [[Gayngster|Gangstalicious]], assuring its audience that no, Gangstalicious was not based on any real artists, ''no'', not even the one you're thinking of, and we'd really prefer to avoid the requisite hate mail and death threats, thank you.
