Line 42:
* Happens in an episode of ''[[The IT Crowd]]'' when Jen, having spent much of the episode in pain due to a poor choice in shoes, finally [[Cluster F-Bomb|lashes out]] at a Japanese investor who just stepped on her foot. It turns out that the censorship was [[Left the Background Music On|entirely diegetic]], allowing for Denholm to tell Jen that she [[Precision F-Strike|fucked]] up.
* In one episode of ''[[Sabrina the Teenage Witch (TV series)|Sabrina the Teenage Witch]]'', Sabrina, her aunts, Mr. Kraft, and Mr. Kraft's ex-girlfriend [[It Makes Sense in Context|all end up on]] [[Jerry Springer]]. During this, Aunt Hilda gives the ex a piece of her mind. Her rant is bleeped out every other word. Sabrina points out that Hilda wasn't swearing, and Jerry just shrugs and says "Yeah, but this way, it ''sounds'' like she did."
* [[Myth BustersMythBusters]] has fun with this one when testing whether swearing helps in enduring pain. They use the bleeps to spell out messages in morse code.
* Since profanity isn't easy to translate, the german dub for ''[[That '70s Show]]'' bleeps out almost everything of Red's [[Cluster F-Bomb]] when he takes Hyde in after his mother left him. While profanity usually is never censored in German TV, this arguably makes the scene even more hilarious (and definitly better than an akward translation).
 
Line 53:
 
* The ''Meet the Demoman'' [[Team Fortress 2/Supplemental Material|supplemental material]] for ''[[Team Fortress 2]]''. At one point the title character goes on a 3 second long swearing jag, all of which is bleeped out. Watch it [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GWBeqNYihjQ#t=0m55s here].
* ''[[The Adventures of Sam & Max: Freelance Police|Sam and Max Beyond Time and Space]]'' featured Tiny Timmy, a rat afflicted with [[Hollywood TourettesTourette's]] who spoke with every other word bleeped out. In the final episode of the season, Sam and Max switch a [[Bluenose Bowdlerizer]]'s list of naughty words with a shopping list so that they can get a vital clue out of Tiny Timmy...and discover that his "swearing" is all of the [[Gosh Dang It to Heck]] variety.
