Line 55:
** The radio edit replaces the Fuck You with "Forget You". It could ''also'' be an example of this trope, an artist preferring to change his song himself before the real censors can leave it a mass of bleeps or blank space.
* The [[Myth Busters]] have run up against this more than once. For instance, when testing if it's possible to polish a turd, Adam starts the show by dutifully listing all the euphemisms for "turd" that they're not allowed to use (which, of course, were all bleeped out). In another one, they were testing if swearing helped to deal with pain; Adam made mouth guards to help the censors out by keeping people's foul mouths from needing to be blurred out - "Blurs are expensive, but bleeps are cheap!".
* [[The Monkees]] had an episode where Peter unknowingly sold his soul to the Devil. After learning the truth:
{{quote|'''Peter''': Guys ... I'm scared. I don't want to go to (bleep).<br />
'''Mike''': Well, I have to admit, (bleep) is pretty scary.<br />
'''Mickey''': But you know what's really scary? You can't say (bleep) on television.}}
** Another episode, in a semi-[[The Wild West|Western]] setting, showed a saloon girl coming on to Mickey. He hissed, "Not now, this is a family show!"
