One (or more) of the characters has a [[Sir Swearsalot|particularly]] [[Cluster F-Bomb|foul mouth]], so another character decides to institute '''the Swear Jar''' so that they have to pay up every time they use rude language.

Also expect the character who instigated the jar to end up falling foul of his own rules and having to put money in as well. May also appear as a more generic Forfeit Jar if any character is particularly prone to specific words, phrases or acts.
 
[[Truth in Television]] in many households, with varying degrees of effectiveness and longevity.

** Later on in the episode, there's a sketch about evil mastermind Dr. X, who threatens to destroy Earth with an orbital laser if he doesn't earn enough money from his telethon. The telethon comes up short by a few thousand dollars, but then, to complete the [[Brick Joke]], Bob (actually Bob's brother Bill, since Bob plays Dr. X) and David show up with their swear jar, which almost covers the shortfall--theyshortfall—they're still a nickel short.
{{quote|'''Dr. X''': I'm sorry, gentlemen, but it appears you're up shit's creek.
'''David''': AH HAH!
