▲{{examples}}
== Anime ==▼
== [[Advertising]] ==
* The Swedish vacuum cleaner company Electrolux once sold its products in the UK with the slogan "Nothing Sucks like an Electrolux." Needless to say, it didn't sell very well.▼
** This was actually completely intentional, and
*** In 1978, [[Loriot]], a [[German Humour|
== [[Anime]] and [[Manga]] ==
* A good number of [[Hentai]] fall under this, and among the worst are titles such as ''[[Bondage Queen Kate]]'', ''Boobalicious'', ''Virgin Auction'' and ''Sex Warrior Pudding''.
** Note that the above are all their titles in the English market. Well, ''Boobalicious''{{'}} original name is (in English, mind you) ''Milk Junkies''. Not that much better, really.
** There is also a comic called ''Nipple Magician''. Because the writer thought it sounded cool and the American guys who publish it in their comics anthologies like to laugh their asses off while simultaneously getting off at the mere thought.
** The best English re-title for a hentai has to be ''The Hills Have Size''.
Line 23 ⟶ 28:
* ''[[Gintama]]''. It's a near-homophone for ''kintama'', a Japanese word meaning "testicles" (literally "golden balls"... get it?). Try asking "hey, did you see this week's ''Gintama''?" in the language and get ready to get looked at funny.
* Would you have thought that ''Stroke Material - My Fucking Lover'' was actually a [[Shoujo]] comic with little to no [[Fan Service]] in it?
* ''[[Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt
** The OST's songs have some pretty interesting names as well, including such gems as "Dancefloor Orgy" and "Technodildo".
* ''[[My Balls]]''. The balls in question contain [[Sealed Evil in a Can]]. Worth taking a look at.
* In a similar vein, ''[[Onani Master Kurosawa]]''. 'Onani' is the Japanese word for masturbation that eventually comes from onanism. And yes, it's more or less [[Exactly What It Says on the Tin]], while still being [[Better Than It Sounds]].
* [[
* ''[[Kuso Miso Technique]]'' literally translates to "shit soup technique".
* The penultimate episode of ''[[Persona 4: The Animation]]'' is titled "The World is Full of Shit".
== [[Comic Books]] ==
* Similarly, the ''[[Sin City]]'' story "That Yellow Bastard" has been covered up by comic vendors in some parts for this reason, though by today's standards "bastard" actually isn't that bad.
* The ''[[Preacher (Comic Book)]]'' sidestory focusing on the backstory of [[The Grotesque]], Arseface, was named ''The Story Of You-Know-Who'' to avoid this. Which just seems odd in light of how the cover was a close-up of his face.
* [[Refuge in Audacity|Satan's]] [[Dead Baby Comedy|Sodomy]] [[Dude, Not Funny|Baby]]{{context|reason=What comic book is this from?}}
== [[Film]] ==
* ''[[Jennifer's Body]]''. 'I want to see ''Jennifer's Body''', 'Did you see ''Jennifer's Body''?', etc.
* The Swedish film ''Fucking Åmål'' (pronounced more or less ''O-moal''), retitled ''[[Show Me Love]]'' in the English version. Then again, Åmål is the small, dull town in which the characters live, and the original title is what one of them usually calls the place. Also, since from a Swede's perspective "fuck" is a [[Foreign Cuss Word]], the word is (arguably) a bit tamer and in addition to that, swearing as a whole is just less of a big deal in Sweden.
* Just about [[Parallel Porn Titles|any bad porno movie]].
* ''[[What the Bleep Do We Know|What tнē #$*! D̄ө ωΣ (k)πow!?]]''
** And no, it's not censored, it's actually written with those symbols. Generally said as "What the Bleep Do We Know!?"
* ''[http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0274518/ GayNiggers From Outer Space]''. Just the title [[Crosses the Line Twice]].
Line 57 ⟶ 61:
** ''[[Saw]]'''s equivalent in French is ''[[Déjà Vu (film)|Déjà vu]]'', which literally translates to "already seen." So, ''[[Bilingual Bonus|As-tu déjà vu]]'' [[Bilingual Bonus|Déjà vu? Oui, je l'ai]] ''[[Bilingual Bonus|Déjà vu]]''.
*** The French Canadian title is "Decadence", which actually makes it sound even more graphic than it really is.
* ''[[Jaws 2]]'' worked to avoid this, in France; The original film was titled ''Les Dents De La Mer''.<ref>''Sea's Teeth''</ref>
* Used in ''[[Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels]]'', where Tom suggests opening a company named "Arse Tickler's Faggot Fan Club", and returning people's cheques - a lot of people would be too embarrassed to cash them.
** [[wikipedia:Embarrassing cheque|This might actually be a real scam.]]
Line 65 ⟶ 69:
** Incidentally, the marketing campaign called it "The film that dares not speak its name."
* ''Y Tu Mamá También'', a Mexican film whose title means ''And Your Mom Too''. It was released in the U.S. under the Spanish title.
* The Vin Diesel action film ''[[XXX]]'', or ''Triple X''. Rumor has it, part of the reason for the title was to try and prevent Internet filesharing for the
** It did work, but the wrong way round: The movie is quite a nuisance when searching for [[The Internet Is for Porn|what the internet is for]]...
* [[The Monkees (band)|The Monkees]]' movie ''[[Head]]'' was titled as such to signify a true "mind trip," even though the Monkees' young fans very likely hadn't yet tried drugs (one common reason as to why the film flopped). Also, so that when Bob Rafelson and [[Jack Nicholson]] produced their next film, ''[[Easy Rider]]'', it could be promoted as being "from the guys who gave you ''Head''".
Line 91 ⟶ 95:
* ''Hands on a Hand Body''. It's a documentary about a contest of endurance and the hard body of the title is a truck (the hands being which contestant can keep their hands on the truck the longest with the winner getting the truck).
== [[Literature]] ==
* In 2002 African American author Randall Kennedy published a book entitled ''Nigger: The Strange Career of a Troublesome Word''. Watching TV commentators try to talk about it without actually saying the name was one of the fondest memories of 2002.
** Similarly, there is a book titled ''Cunt''.
Line 104 ⟶ 108:
** "And Then It Came Off In My Hand". Full stop. (But it's not FUNNY as Perfect Snogging! What were they thinking?)
* ''The Color of Her Panties'', one of the ''[[Xanth]]'' novels by Piers Anthony.
** They don't exist, at least at the time of the
*** More to the point - they're magical, color and pattern-changing panties, so Good Magician Humphrey ''still'' couldn't answer the question.
** Also in that series, ''Isle of View.'' Apparently designed to make teenage readers too embarrassed to say the title out loud, while still being perfectly innocent in print.
Line 132 ⟶ 136:
** He also planned to name one of his tours [[Refuge in Audacity|"Deal With This, Retards"]], though he didn't in the end.
* [http://books.google.com/books?id=f1LnPQAACAAJ&dq=the+%20big+%20penis+%20book&cd=1 The Big Penis Book] Follow up to the ''The Big Book of Breasts''. Both feature partially transparent dust jackets that when removed reveal the principal subject matter. They are also coffee table sized, and rather artsy with lots of interviews, and naked pictures.
* [https://web.archive.org/web/20161127061307/http://www.marshill.org/about/rob/ Rob Bell] wrote an excellent book on romantic love and sexuality from a Christian perspective. The title? ''Sex God.'' Try walking into your local Christian bookstore and asking if they have that.
* The newspaper ''The San Francisco Chronicle'' has a weekly list of whatever books its critics most recommend, and the number one book is listed with a picture of its dust jacket. When that book was ''Another Bullshit Night in Suck City'', the second word was rendered as Bull**** in the list, but the dust jacket was shown as it was, making the endeavor somewhat pointless. (The book's actually more artsy than the name would suggest.)
* On a different note, ''[[I Am Not a Serial Killer]]''. (You double-took for a moment, admit it.)
Line 138 ⟶ 142:
* Stirling Johnson has written books entitled ''English as a Second Fucking Language'' and ''Watch Your Fucking Language''. They are, appropriately, about the use of profanity.
* '[[Popular Music From Vittula]]'' by Swedish author Mikael Niemi, "Vittula" being essentially "Cuntville" in Finnish.
* ''[https://web.archive.org/web/20131004213407/http://www.negri-froci-giudei.com/ Negri, froci, giudei & Co.]'' (''Niggers, Faggots, Kikes & Co.'') by Italian journalist Gian Antonio Stella. It's about racism and intolerance in every country and historical age.
* ''[http://www.amazon.com/Cunt-Coloring-Book-Tee-Corinne/dp/B003QDHO48/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1300038212&sr=8-1 The Cunt Coloring Book]''. For some reason Amazon.com offers no cover image.

* The show ''[[Penn
▲== Live Action TV ==
▲* The show ''[[Penn and Teller Bullshit]]'' is often abbreviate to ''P&T: BS!'' precisely for this reason.
** When Penn refers to the show on the radio, he cuts it in the middle with a clap, "Bulls" "Hit", to avoid FCC fines. He's not normally one to mince words.
** Two different covers are available for the complete season DVD collections. The ones you can order by mail are labelled "Bullshit!". The ones on store shelf displays are labelled "BS!".
Line 160 ⟶ 162:
* In ''[[Parks and Recreation]]'' the library department gets revenge on people by sending them messages that they have late fines for nonexistent books with this sort of title.
== Music ==▼
* The album ''Never Mind the Bollocks, Here's the Sex Pistols'' from the [[Sex Pistols]], who themselves invoke this trope.
** Guess where the price sticker is usually found on the CD case for that album.
Line 263:
* [[Tori Amos]]' "Fat Slut"
* [[Kiss]], "Burn Bitch Burn".
* [[Neil Young]]'s song "Fuckin' Up" was written "F* !#in' Up" on the ''Ragged Glory'' album. Young says he wrote the
* Adrian Legg's "Pass The Valium" yields a predictable request at his live shows.
* [[Liz Phair]]'s "Hot White Cum", "Fuck and Run", and "Shitloads of Money".
Line 270:
* On the not-filthy-but-really-awkward end of the scale, there's the band "!!!". Apparently pronounced "chk-chk-chk".
* Similarly, there's the rapper A who chose that name to make it as hard as possible for people to find his work on Napster.
* The [[Blink
* [[Peaches]] has '''''loads''''' of them. Some examples include "Slippery Dick", "Diddle My Skittle", "Suck and Let Go", and of course, "Fuck the Pain Away".
** As well as album titles that include ''Fatherfucker'' and ''Impeach My Bush''.
Line 283:
* "We Hate You South African Bastards" by Microdisney
* "I Am Not Afraid Of You And I Will Beat Your Ass" by Yo La Tengo
* The title of [[Captain Beefheart]]'s '''Trout Mask Replica'' was chosen to be
** While we're at it, ''Trout Mask'' 's follow up album ''Lick My Decals Off, Baby'' is almost always referred to as ''Decals'' when talking about it to people because it guarantees funny looks when said in real life.
* Even [[Britney Spears]] has one with "If U Seek Amy."
Line 326:
* Perhaps in mockery of these tendencies, there is a hip-hop musician who records under the name "Cusswords."
== [[New Media]] ==
* ''All'' [[Tales of MU]] chapter titles exemplify this trope.
* One of the reasons the website [http://thedailywtf.com The Daily WTF] was renamed to Worse Than Failure was because of this. It was recently changed back.
* [
** Weirdly, ''moreso'' than the much less ambiguous [[Executive Meddling|original name]] of the site, ''Superman is a Dick''.
* Programming geeks the world over have probably had trouble discussing [[wikipedia:Brainfuck|a certain minimalist programming language]].
* [[
** That's because some are [[Exactly What It Says on the Tin]].
** The titles for the videos themselves fit this trope as well. Try [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qy4LEDdjLgs Robotnik's Sexy Suspender Striptease].
** Or [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PyWe1T86nq0 Mama Luigi Visits a Soapland].
** Or the community, which hangs around at a website called [
* [http://FuckedCompany.com FuckedCompany.com]
* A number of ''[[Lonelygirl15]]'' episodes have titles which could be read more than one way, such as "Awkward Threesome", "Girl Tied Up" and "Jennie Bares All", which Amanda Goodfried has claimed responsibility for. There's also an episode called "Lying Bastards".
Line 351 ⟶ 350:
* [[The Nostalgia Critic]] videos "Top 11 Fuck Ups", "Top 11 Mindfucks", and "Holiday Clusterfuck" (Although some of the titles are [[Censored Title|censored]] on the episode page.)
* [[Felicia Day]] has coined the term "Vaginal Fantasy" as a tongue-in-cheek description of urban or historical fantasy fiction that is aimed at women and prominently involves romance and/or sex. Once a month, she'll discuss such novels with her friends in a Google+ Hangout On Air, and also post the discussion to youtube - naturally it can be awkward mentioning that you were just watching something called "Vaginal Fantasy Hangout #2".
== Software ==
Line 358 ⟶ 356:
** Ditto for '''F'''ile '''S'''ystem '''C'''onsistency Chec'''k''', the common name for the program used to fix corrupted data on UNIX systems. Not only is the name unpronounceable, but it's only one letter off from a major swear word. And if it fails to save your data, then you're [[Unusual Euphemism|fsck'ed]].
== [[Tabletop Games]] ==▼
* The title of ''Panty Explosion'' is intended as a parody of the [[Word Salad Title]] school of [[Anime]] naming, but ends up invoking this trope as well.▼
* ''[[Magic: The Gathering]]'''s joke set Unhinged has several, including Assquach, City of Ass, and Necro-Impotence.▼
* The roleplaying supplement for ''[[Big Eyes, Small Mouth|BESM]]'' titled "Cute And Fuzzy Cockfighting Seizure Monsters". Even though the phrase refers to roosters and the book is about [[Mons]], many bookstores refused to carry it because of the title. The authors ended up producing a different edition without the "Cockfighting", and selling the original version only to specialty stores.▼
** The acronym "BESM" is one letter away from, well, [[BDSM|something else]].▼
== [[Theatre]] ==
* ''[[The Vagina Monologues]]'' is an entirely intentional example as a show highlighting the experiences of women in hard situations. (Including a very controversial one about a teenage girl who is fed alcohol and then raped by an adult woman, and closes the monologue with the line, "[[Rape Is Love|If it was rape, it was good rape]].")
** In an interview about this play on the ''Today'' show, Jane Fonda said, "I was asked to do a monologue called 'Cunt'." Yes, she said that on live television.
Line 374 ⟶ 376:
* There is a play called ''Shopping and Fucking''. Reportedly (this troper had a relative working at the theatre at the time), it was referred to internally as simply ''Shopping'', even in this non-English-speaking country.
* "Totally Fucked" and "The Bitch Of Living" from ''[[Spring Awakening]]''.
* John Ford,
{{Quote|The play's treatment of the subject of incest made it one of the most controversial works in English literature.
== Video Games ==▼
▲== [[Video Games]] ==
* ''You Are Empty'' is a rather interesting name for an FPS.
* Nintendo originally named their new console [[Awesome McCoolname|"Nintendo Revolution"]] [[Production Nickname|during production]]
** In [[Slavic Mythology]], [http://myfhology.narod.ru/gods/slavyans/viy.gif Wii] (or Viy) is a powerful demon able to see (and kill) everything with its gaze. Bet that one wasn't intentional.
*** [[Conspiracy Theorist|Betcha it was.]]

* [[Youtube Poop]]. If your friends don't know what it's referring to, you might get weird looks.▼
▲* ''[[Gunnerkrigg Court]]''. That is an odd combination of syllables. Tom Siddell [http://gunnerkrigg.proboards75.com/index.cgi?board=general&action=display&thread=40=24#3914 confirms] that this was intentional: "I wanted a title that was intentionally awkward and easy to search for on Google."
* ''[[Fruit Incest]]''. The name is meant to be nothing more than an eye catcher. Also ironic since the comic itself is usually squeaky clean.
* The title ''[[Questionable Content]]'' sounds as if the page's [[Shaped Like Itself|content were questionable]]. Gives it an [[Forbidden Fruit]] appeal.
Line 420 ⟶ 415:
* ''[[City of Reality]]''. The name is eerily dissonant to both readers and outsider characters. (The residents of said city think it fits perfectly, though.) It's apparently based on a rather unconventional definition of the term.

▲* The Swedish vacuum cleaner company Electrolux once sold its products in the UK with the slogan "Nothing Sucks like an Electrolux." Needless to say, it didn't sell very well.
* [[Super Robot Monkey Team Hyperforce Go!]], and yes, the exclamation point is part of the official title. If you can avoid giggling to yourself when you say this out loud and can spit the whole thing in a single breath, the people you said it to will usually react with raised eyebrows, [[Flat What]], polite giggles or stepping away slowly. Which is a pity, since the show is actually pretty good, the title is just deliberately over-the-top.▼

* The makers of ''[[Batman Beyond]]'' considered naming the show ''The Tomorrow Knight'', which would prompt advertising like "Tomorrow night on ''Tomorrow Knight''".▼
▲*** In 1978, [[Loriot]], a [[German Humour|german comedian]] whose sketch show rivals [[Monty Python's Flying Circus]] in popularity in Germany to this day, had one sketch in which a salesman visits a housewife to sell her the new "Heinzelmann" vacuum cleaner. Several times he quotes the products slogans "It sucks and blows the Heinzelmann, where mom can only suck." Since Loriots entire work was based on akwardness, the inuendo was surely intentional.
* Some of the episode names for ''[[The Ambiguously Gay Duo]]'', including: "Blow Hot, Blow Cold", "A Hard One To Swallow", "Trouble Coming Twice", "The Third Leg Of Justice", "First Served, First Come". But considering the ''whole point of the show'' is to slap around random innuendos, the episode titles are ''tame''.▼
▲** Another Swedish example: An ad which was supposed to feature a new brand of cookies and a couple of older ladies, turned into this when one of the ladies said "we like all six" (referring to the six different tastes). The Swedish translation for "we like all six" can also mean "we all like sex." That line became [[Intentionally Awkward Title|the slogan]].
* The British and Japanese clothing line, 'Fcuk' (French Connection United Kingdom). In parody of this, a British company making cute wooden ornaments of wetland birds calls itself 'Dcuk'.
** Derwent College at the University of York also sells 'DCUK' merchandise - the university's symbol is a mallard duck.

* The Young Conservatives rebranded themselves as Conservative Future in 1997 after William Hague became party leader. Some bright spark decided to put out literature using a "CFUK" (Conservative Future UK) branding. Given how well the party was regarded at the time (not very highly, to say the least), it backfired. The Liberal Democrats put out flyers saying "CFUK are a bunch of AWNKERS". [[David Cameron|Oh, the]] [[Nick Clegg|irony]].
* Starbucks recently began selling "petites", including one called the "Red Velvet Whoopie Pie". Baristas usually just call them "Red Velvets."
* The drug flavoxate, a urinary antispasmodic, was marketed under the name "Urispas" (pronounced "you're a spaz"). Try telling this to someone who's already trying not to pee...
