** Also, gorram is used for Goddamn, and rut for fuck.

* Cockney rhyming slang is often used on British TV due to censors not noticing it. One ITV miniseries about holiday reps in Ibiza was called "Is Harry on the boat?". Not getting it? Harry ''monk'' on the boat ''race''.

* In a flashback on ''[[The Odd Couple]]'', Felix tells Oscar he has to marry Gloria. "[[Shotgun Wedding|You]] ''[[Shotgun Wedding|have]]'' [[Shotgun Wedding|to marry her?]] A man who covers up every piece of furniture with plastic, and you ''have'' to marry her!?"

* Similarly, on ''[[Star Trek Deep Space Nine]]'', the Ferengi have these giant ears that act as erogenous zones. They love to have women rub them while they're holding conversations, and at times they even rub them ''themselves''. While they're not quite sex organs as such, the effect is much the same. And let's not forget the times women have [[Groin Attack|grabbed Quark by the ear]] to use the intense pain as a motivation for cooperation. Plus, all the times they use "[person] doesn't have the lobes for [task]" as an insult.

'''Cuddy:''' As of this morning, I'm on a diet. }}

* ''[[S Club]]'' had a few examples of this. There was, I think, four jokes made about the size of Rachel's breasts. "Backs straight, chests out... not so much the last one, Rachel.", and when complaining about having to wear a stupid costume involving bikini tops the line "If Rachel dances in that, it'll sound like a stampede." was used. In another episode, Jo and Bradley get into a fight, leaving her with a black eye and him severely injured in order to point out how hitting a woman is seen as worse than hospitalizing a man. Then there was a scene in which what was believed to be a suicide attempt was used for laughs. In the movie however, there was a very unexpected scene in which a woman is taking things out of her bag and giving it to them "Passport, wallet, vibrato--" at which she looks awkward and puts it back in the bag. And a twelve-years-old child trying unsuccessfully to chat up one of the female members, who naturally isn't interested... until he reminds her that he is rich. And then who later gropes Linda Blair, with the line "You're only as old as the woman you feel."

* In one episode of ''[[Robot Wars (TV)|Robot Wars]]'', [[Craig Charles]] referred to Robochicken as a "clucking good robot!"

** The Demon team wore hats with devil horns, leading JP to quip that they're feeling "horny, horny, horny"

'''The Janitor:''' Wow! Tough break. }}

** Then again, a good portion of the episode involved Asians being mean to him, so the writers would have had to rewrite a good portion of it if it had been censored. The Janitor is a jerk.

*** He clearly said Mengele. That's why Dr. Cox said Oh God and left the room. A much better example would be when Jordan was talking about her divorce from Dr. Cox:

{{quote| '''Jordan:''' One of the reasons I divorced Perry was because of his last name.<br />

*** Makes perfect sense, seeing that Dan Schneider worked on this show.

* Recently on MSNBC, there has been mocking coverage of the "Tea Parties" advertised by conservative groups. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HVAkz7GFB_w Cue a volley of Double Entendre about teabagging with comments about swallowing, etc.]

{{quote| [[CNN|Anderson]] [[Straight Gay|Cooper]]: It's hard to talk when you're teabagging.}}

* There once was a science TV show for children (it was either ''Feed Your Mind'' or ''Popular Mechanics For Kids'') where they were visiting a recycling center. They are standing next to a conveyor belt with paper trash getting ready to be processed until suddenly a kid picks up from said conveyor belt an ''issue of [[Playboy]]''. The adult standing next to him immediately goes "Hey! Put that down! This is a family show!"

*** And then Helios and {{spoiler|Morgana}} pretty much have an entire subtexty exchange about how they'll be sleeping together once {{spoiler|he helps her take the throne.}}

* British children's sitcom ''My Parents Are Aliens'' had an episode which centered on a female alien shapeshifter, disguised as a woman, experimenting with breasts and, having inflated them to a meter long, using them to seduce various men for her adopted children's advantage. A scene contains her expanding them in front of her adopted son and squirting him with milk.

** Granted, the episode did have a lot to do with sex and Chaucer.

* An episode of the UK ''[[Who Wants to Be A Millionaire?]]'' had Chris Tarrant saying to a contestant, straight faced, "so you're into pegging, then?" before going on to say that she'd mentioned in her application that she enjoyed doing laundry. [[This Troper]] almost fell out of her chair.

{{quote| '''Al:''' She's the producer, and I don't think she wants to do another show about sheetrock.<br />

'''Tim:''' I don't give a sheetrock what she wants, I— }}

* One ''[[Dharma and Greg]]'' episode revolved around a plastic duck which was given as a trophy to the couple who had sex in the most public place. At the end, someone points out that the duck looks more like a goose. Dharma agrees that it ''is'' a goose, but "goose doesn't rhyme."

* In ''The Supersizers Eat... The Eighties'', foodie Giles Coren [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Voj7nxRBBKY#t=8m50s tries to create a "Cement Mixer" cocktail by taking swigs of Baileys and lemon juice and swilling]. Co-presenter [[The Smart Guy|Sue Perkins]] gleefully squeezes his cheeks, causing him to [[Does This Remind You of Anything?|squirt little jets of milky liquid]].

'''Dewey:''' Hey! Watch how you pronounce that. [[Breaking the Fourth Wall|It might not fly on television]].<br />

'''Huey:''' [[Running Gag|Badum]]-[[Rimshot|tish]]. }}

** Which doesn't mean a damn thing in North America, where both Glee and the Emmy broadcast originate. Doesn't really count.

** Which is why I started with "comparatively minor". Regardless, it's a gesture that has a hidden, insulting meaning that most viewers wouldn't notice.

** From season 2, after Shawn gets through making out with a girl:

{{quote| '''Shawn:''' Remember in health class that section on the movement of blood? I understand it now.}}

{{quote| '''Shawn:''' Why don't you come over tonight? We can skateboard in the pool, and they got cable."<br />

'''Cory:''' ''We'' got cable.<br />
