=== Western Animation ===
* A lot of [[Golden Age]] cartoons (particularly those featuring stereotypes of blacks, Asians, Hispanics, Jewish people [particularly in the really early shorts], and those [[Wartime Cartoon|World War II-era cartoons]] that had caricatures of [[Adolf Hitler]], Hermann Goering, and Joseph Goebbels) haven't been seen since theythe first premiered1960s-70s due to [[Politicalracist Correctnesscontent Goneand Mad]]concerns about gun violence. (The [[Censored Eleven]], a collection of 11 Warner Brothers cartoons banned due to excessive stereotypical portrayals of black people, comes to mind).) While America hasn't put a ban on them like most countries have done to other works, they're not likely to be seen on television (and if they are, the cartoons in question will be gutted into a plotless mess). The only way these cartoons can be seen uncut and uncensored is on DVD and on Internet video sites.
* The ''[[Family Guy]]'' episode "[https://web.archive.org/web/20130617092724/http://www.familyguy.ws/partial-terms-of-endearment/ Partial Terms of Endearment]" has not (and probably will never) air on American television [Fox outright stated that the episode will not air and Cartoon Network decided not to air it either] due to its premise of Lois being a surrogate mother to her best friend and {{spoiler|trying to decide whether or not to abort the baby after news hits of her friend and her friend's husband dying in a car crash}}. It has aired in the UK on [[BBC 3]], as well as in other European countries and was released as a DVD-exclusive episode in America.
* The ''[[Batman: The Brave Andand Thethe Bold]]'' episode "The Mask of Matches Malone" was banned for a while due to a [[Double Entendre]]-laden musical number sung by the three Birds of Prey, such as Black Canary wiggling her fingers while singing about Aquaman's "little fish". The episode eventually did air, with the offensive parts of the scene removed.
* ''[[Dexter's Laboratory]]'':
** The infamous "Rude Removal" episode. The plot of this episode involves Dexter inventing a device to purge rudeness from himself and Dee-Dee, only to create [[Evil Twin|really rude duplicates of themselves]] that cuss like sailors. The cuss words are bleeped out, but the context of what they say makes it obvious what the words are. This was pulled before it aired and many fans doubted it even existed until the folks in charge of Adult Swim made a tweet with a link to a YouTube page with the episode.
** There was also a "Dial M for Monkey" segment titled "Barbequor" that featured the Silver Spooner, a gay parody of [[The Silver Surfer]]. While fans believe it was banned because of stereotypical LGBT depictions, the actual reason was intervention from Marvel, who objected to the character being used without their approval. Rather ironic, given that the plot of another episode involves Dexter getting into trouble with Major Glory due to copyright infringement.
* "Dad Baby,", an episode of the Australian series ''Bluey'', never aired in the United States because the episode has Bandit reenact Chilli's pregnancy with Bingo, something [[Disney]] deemed inappropriate for its preschool audience.
