Sound Effect Bleep: Difference between revisions

* In ''[[Full Metal Panic!]]? Fumoffu'', the swear words in Sousuke's hilarious [[Drill Sergeant Nasty]] rugby training routine are bleeped with what sound like sped-up loon calls. It's a complete ''non sequitur'', but it made the scene that much funnier.

* In ''[[Hayate the Combat Butler]]'', there's one scene where Nagi realizes she's alone with Hayate in her bedroom and thinks, "What if he does '''''BLEEP''''' and '''''BLEEP''''' and ... no! Anything but '''''BLEEP'''''!" (Of course, he doesn't do anything inappropriate, which irks her.) Also, instead of a visual for what she was imagining, the artist substituted a scene of a cruise ship: "Due to content restrictions, this footage has been replaced."

** An episode of the [[Show Within a Show]] ''Magical Kyoko'' in the manga portrayed Kyoko telling a fellow that in thanks for something nice he'd done, she'd "have XXX with you!" (He responded in shock, "Is that alright? [[Breaking the Fourth Wall|This is a kid's show!"]])

* The [[Adult Swim]] broadcast of ''[[Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex]]: Second Gig'' has one in the first episode when Bato says "Thank to you and all you [BEEP] we're this close to being put out of commission." It ''definitely'' [[Narm|makes the scene a lot funnier]] especially since I can't think of any other time the dub had bad enough language to need it.

*** According to Edgar Wright, it was either keep Julie's swears, or cut "you cocky cock."

* The movie [[Kuffs]] both uses and subverts this trope in the same scene, when Kuffs' dispatch radio overrides every swear word in a conversation between him and his police chaperon until the end, where he very clearly enunciates the [[Precision F-Strike|F Bomb]] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=12dEvNOMvmo here].

* In the film adaptation of ''[[The Cat in the Hat]]'', The Cat (as a chef) {{spoiler|starts arguing with the host over his new invention, The "Cupcake-inator". He then threatens the host to end him, and ends up cutting his own tail. Sally warns the chef that he cut his tail off, who shouts out "SON OF A B-" before a long bleep is heard and the [[Emergency Broadcast|broadcast is terminated]]}}.

* In ''[[Rango]]'', Rango(not known as that at the time) blows a toad's cover from a hawk while running away. As the toad is being swept away, the scene ends with the toad shouting “SON OF A—” but then the eagle's loud [[CAW!]] is heard.

* ''[[Third Watch]]'' used siren bleeps from passing police and rescue vehicles to blot out a character's uttering of curse words.

* Used frequently in the show ''[[Arrested Development (TV series)|Arrested Development]]'', sometimes jokingly.

** When censoring short words or phrases, the Mythbusters also often use various sounds reminiscent of workshop accidents, like a crash, bang, clang, thud, etc.

** Adam lampshaded this as well once—after an actual curse which got bleeped out, Adam then said, "Holy bleeping bleepity bleep!"

*** Some versions also block out "sex", "pants", and "nuts", as well as "getting horny now".

* "Beep" by the Pussycat Dolls, where the sound censor was actually the main lick (no pun intended) of the song, and again aimed at making it sound dirtier than it probably was: "I don't give a <beep> Keep lookin' at my <boop> Cause it don't mean a thing when you're lookin' at the <beep> I'm goin' do mah thing while you're playin witchyour <beeeep>..."

* Subverted by the band James for the MTV edit of their song "Laid". The album version of the song (oddly, also used on the radio without edit) features the line "But she only comes when she's on top." The MTV version features the edit "But she only sings when she's on top" - and a close-up of the lead singer's face while he obviously sings the original line.

* A musical number in ''[[Evil Dead]] [[The Musical]]'' (yep) has a line that goes "And then we'll take that chainsaw and we'll shove it up your-" "Ash!" which is a bit of a moot point, since there's musical numbers titled "Stupid Bitch" and "What the Fuck Was That?"

** Gleeman Vox has an interesting one in [[Ratchet: Deadlocked|the fourth game]], "It's time to blow sh-*BEEP*-it up!" The beep is so short it still sounds like one word.

*** He does it again, when berating Ace Hardlight on any lack of public interest in the latter's merchandise. "He's a pompous *BLEEP* with the charisma of Blargian Gnat Cheese!"

** And it you click on the Vulture enough times, the driver will say "I don't have time to f*beep* around!".

* [[Leisure Suit Larry]] 7 features a pirate named Peggy who swears every other word, but each one is bleeped out. They even bleep out the word "stump".

* ''[[Da Capo]]'': Suginami helpfully whispers to Nemu the ''other'' meaning to her "[[Innocent Innuendo|I want you to do it both ways]]", ending with a confused Nemu saying "Please ???? my ????, and take your ???? and put it deep and stir, niisan?"

* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g5MGGZZwmCg The New York intro] in ''[[Metal Wolf Chaos]]'', in which Michael's utterance of "you are a sick-" is cut short by [[Just Between You and Me|more monologue]] by Richard.

* In the video game compilation ''Williams Arcade's Greatest Hits'' (and in subsequent re-released versions, including Midway Arcade Treasures), whenever Eugene Jarvis says a naughty word in the various interview segments, he's bleeped out by the sound effect from Defender (and its sequel) that's heard when a lander kidnaps a human.

* In the original ''[[Dark Forces Saga|Dark Forces]]'', when Kyle Katarn confronts a Dark Trooper for the first time, he reacts with "Ah, sh--" *sound of communicator static*

* ''[[Brütal Legend|Brutal Legend]]'' gives the option early on to use bleeps to censor out profanity for the reason of "It's Funnier Bleeped Out".

** Sounds a lot like what [[Ozzy Osbourne]] said about the censoring of The Osbournes. Fitting, seeing as he's in the game.

* The [[PlayStation]] version of ''You Don't Know Jack'' has backstage chatter among the employees as it opens. One version has one of the staff complaining about something which is responded in kind with "KISS MY- (AIRHORN)" though the offender quickly apologizes.

* There is a two bleeps in ''[[Monday Night Combat]]'' (which is censored to maintain a Teen rating), and each is a [[Lampshade Hanging]] no less. One of the comments announcer Mickey Cantor may make at the start of a Crossfire match may be, "These Pros are ready to tear each other a new ''[bleep]''!" He'll then go on to either ask who said the offending word or just wonder if he's allowed to say the bleeped-out word on the air.

* ''[[Grand Theft Auto]] III'' has the original GTA theme song on the LIPS 106 station, but "fucked on crack" is censored with "LIPS" and "don't fuck with me" is censored with "106".

** Some [[YouTube]] parody videos censor the perfectly child-safe dialogue, giving the appearance of raunchier words being spoken.

** There's also the episode where Spongebob censors out the ingredients of the Krabby Patty secret formula in his song.

* Also parodied in an episode of ''[[Futurama]]''. In "Where No Fan Has Gone Before" Leela is put into the a robot chair, where she will be able to testify using series of beeps to convey her testimony. When Zapp Brannigan makes a lewd comment, Leela replies "Go (bleep from the machine) yourself"

* Constantly skewered in ''[[The Simpsons]]''. One recent example had a rooster appear out of nowhere in a living room to do it.
