* Done ''so very many times'' on ''[[Whose Line Is It Anyway?|Whose Line Is It Anyway]]'', thanks to a combination of [[Genre Savvy]] and [[Medium Awareness]]. One suggestion in the ever-popular ''Scenes From a Hat'' game actually challenged the players to make the censors do this.

* ''[[Myth BustersMythBusters]]'': The famous clip of Jamie saying "That's what we do on ''Mythbusters'': We blow '''''bleep''''' up!" When the clip was aired without the bleep for for the "Favorite Myths" special, Jamie clearly says "crap", which ''is'' a borderline bleepable word in the U.S. (but often considered "optional").
* ''[[Leverage]]'' features a visual rather than audio example of this trope. In "The Office Job," the characters are performing a con at a greeting card company and during talking-head interviews (a documentary film crew is filming there at the same time - the episode is an homage to ''[[The Office]]'') characters hold up a blurred-out greeting card.
* ''[[Flight of the Conchords]]'' - [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bqxnm6t3QMw "Mother Uckers"]
Line 125:
** The whole point in this exercise is to get a vital piece of information out of Tiny Timmy, whose [[Tourettes Syndrome]] seemingly turns the little rat tyke into a fountain of bleeped-out cursing. Of course, once you switch the lists, it turns out that his "expletives" were all [[Gosh Dang It to Heck|family]] [[Curse of the Ancients|friendly]] to begin with, although it's soon obvious why the demented [[Media Watchdog]] responsible would censor out the information as well ( {{spoiler|it's the name "Dick Peacock"...think about it}}).
* The visual novel Tsukihime uses it interestingly by (actual spoiler) {{spoiler|blanking out the word 'kill' to make the line "I want to her."}}
* [[StarcraftStarCraft]] 2 has an interview with the {{spoiler|Dominion's}} best {{spoiler|ghost}}, sadly {{spoiler|he}} cannot reveal any information about his {{spoiler|job}}. But we are told it's very {{spoiler|important}}.
* [[Blaz BlueBlazBlue]] does this humorously. Kokonoe in one Teach me miss Litchi say she would use the rocket punch extension on his '''GIGANTIC TAGER!!''' She does this again in Rachael's Gag Reel with Ragna the bloodedge attack names.

** [http://doitbythebook.ytmnd.com/ Here's] another YTMND that uses this. If you didn't know, the song is about baking cakes...
* A popular gag on [[YoutubeYouTube Poop]] videos.

Line 234:
* In Malaysia, Katy Perry's song "I Kissed a Girl", after playing uncensored for a couple of weeks, had the word "Girl" censored out of the title and the song. The first thing that comes to mind after hearing the beep in the chorus are certain...erogenous parts of anatomy, which makes the song sleazier than intended.
** Which seems odd, considering they ran Jill Sobule's song of the same name with absolutely no cuts back in the '90s, much to the delight of [[Beavis and Butthead|Beavis]].
* At Jamba Juice, the music that plays is from disks sent to the stores from the company. In an effort to be more hip, the disks have been including more recent hits, like [[MIAM.I.A.]]'s "Paper Planes." They made the choice to censor out the sound effects, leaving us with "All I wanna do is ... and a ... and take your money," which can be interpreted as being strikingly sexual.
* The radio version of the 30 Seconds to Mars song "From Yesterday" suffers from this as well.
