Line 363:
* [[CSI]] had a non-singing one in an early episode that centered on a hockey player.
{{quote|'''Catherine''':This guy was about pucks,bucks and...chicks.}}
* ''[[Myth BustersMythBusters]]'' had one episode where the hosts were testing myths regarding flatulence, and were attempting to keep things tasteful, generally by using the scientific term "flatus" in place of...the common term for such. [[The Narrator|Rob Lee]] also avoided using said "common term", generally via [[Unusual Euphemism]] (or else via less offensive terms), but there was one time he danced around the word using this very trope:
{{quote|'''[[The Narrator|Rob Lee]]:''' We've all heard it: "Beans, beans, good for your heart, the more you eat, the more you"...er, produce flatus.}}
* In one episode of ''[[Adventures in Wonderland]]'', the White Rabbit has contracted "rhymitis", which forces him to [[Rhymes on a Dime|only speak in rhyme]]. After he's cured, he sings a song full of these, with each followed by the chorus "And you know what the best part is? It doesn't rhyme!"
Line 854:
John Mayer or Kelly Clarkson,
they both can suck my...penis }}
* Done in [[Jib JabJibJab]]'s latest 'Year in Review' song, where the lyrics cut to the same word, only in a different context.
{{quote|Global market meltdowns,
A bailout by the Fed
Line 1,545:
You suck }}
* [[Destroy All Humans!|I'm a poet and I know it not!]] Oh, Arkvoodle....
* In ''[[RunescapeRuneScape]]'', you can get a rune pouch repaired by Wizard Korvak, who already [[Go Mad Fromfrom the Revelation|went mad from the revelation.]] When you get it repaired, he drops this little gem.
{{quote|'''Korvak''': Magic makes me happy, magic makes me glad, magic makes the voices quiet, and nothing rhymes with purple.}}
** There's also Bard Roberts' shanty, recapping the "Great Brain Robbery" quest: "Mi-Gor tried to stop your heart's pace / Your foe's arm part anchor, part mace / Struck without delay / But him ye did slay / made him look a total...[beat]...moron."
Line 1,685:
{{quote|Nose jobs, tummy tucks
These are the girls I like to...hang out with. }}
* ''[[YoutubeYouTube Poop]]: [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=24Pj7obyMZY THE EPIC MOVIE]'':
{{quote|Nachos, lemon head, my dad's boat
You won't go down 'cause my dick can {{spoiler|'''[[Running Gag|EFFORT!!]]'''}} }}
Line 1,705:
{{quote|I'm five foot eleven of sex
From the tip of my head to my gorgeous...knees. }}
* [[Jib JabJibJab]] does this with "The Year 2008 in Review", sung to the tune of "Miss Susie". One example:
{{quote|'''Baby Year 2008:''' [[Barack Obama|Barrack]] ''[sic]'' defeated Johnny
So long to the far-right.
Line 1,829:
** The painful thing about this is that the show can't go thirty seconds without a butt joke. Censoring it in the theme song is rather misleading.
** Let's not forget Animal School Musical...in this one song Jake was singing, he subverted every single rhyme. And the song was about his incapability to rhyme.
* An episode of ''[[The Fairly Odd ParentsOddParents]]'' [[Lampshade Hanging|lampshades]] this, with Timmy being sent to the planet Yugopotamia, which has been conquered by the Gigglepies, an alien species that wear cuteness and rhyming [[Planet of Hats|as a hat]]. When Timmy inquires to their overlord about what they will do to their planet:
{{quote|'''Overlord:''' We'll do what we always do, blow the planet up and move on to the next one! [[Evil Sounds Deep|ISN'T THAT CUTE?]]
'''Timmy:''' That's horrible! And it didn't rhyme!
