* 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]].

* ''[[Psycomedia]]'' uses Freud as a substitute profanity, to highlight that [[All Psychology Is Freudian]] is not true. Oh Freud...
