This Trope Is Bleep: Difference between revisions

=== [[Fan Works]] ===

* ''[[Clash of the Elements]]'': At the end of chapter 40 of Part 1, as {{spoiler|Cecilia Frost}} is beating up {{spoiler|Ezekial Gaia}}, her swear words are censored out by his screams of pain. {{spoiler|[[Don't Explain the Joke|Though it is quite obvious from the first letter that she was going to use the word fuck.]]}}

 

 

=== Live-Action TV ===

* ''[[Sabrina the Teenage Witch]]'': On a [[Jerry Springer]] clone, the Spellman family finds random words bleeped out, so that their arguments sound more heated than they really are.

* ''Jimmy Kimmel Live'' has a recurring segment called "This Week in Unnecessary Censorship", which consists entirely of this trope. So, for example, a clip of the President saying "I visited the Queen and we talked for hours" will have the words "visited" and "talked" bleeped out.

* The writers behind the ''[[Match Game]]'' series loved this trope; many of the questions allowed the audience to go {{spoiler|make up dirty words for}} themselves.

*** Sure they do, it was "My Name is David Ruffin... and These are The Temptations"

* As mentioned above, the Pussycat Dolls song "Beep" sounds incredibly dirty, as the end of almost every line is a beep, talking about what men "look at" and what men "play with." The most explicit thing mentioned, however, is wanting to hold the singer's hand.

* Benny Bell's legendary "Shaving Cream."

* [http://www.songfight.org/artistpage.php?key=sta_27_warz&sortkey=date "Gallows Hill" by Sta' Warz], which was an entry in a songfight competition: It's a mock-gangsta rap song where nearly every line had a bleep or two, but the members also posted the full lyrics, which were completely clean, if [[Word Salad Lyrics|pretty nonsensical]]. For instance, "Mother {{spoiler|said}} you can suck on my {{spoiler|peppermints}}!", and "They call me fireman, 'cause I {{spoiler|am one}}!".

* OAFEnet did this with their review of [[G.I. Joe|Shipwreck]], under the conceit that since he's a sailor, he'd be cursing like one. Though all of the bleeped words were chosen at random, some of them [http://www.oafe.net/yo/gij25ship.php worked out well]:

{{quote|If nothing else, at least he got to {{spoiler|date}} Cover Girl every month.}}

{{quote|"I ''beep'' the spiders on the wall/I ''beep'' the cobwebs in the hall/I ''beep'' the candles on the shelf/when I'm alone I ''beep'' myself!"}}

* Due to difference in cultures, some Australians are amused when commonly used words such as ''hell'' and ''damn'' are censored on some websites and message boards, making the censored words seem a lot worse than they actually are.

{{quote|But then he turns into ¦¦¦¦¦¦, who looks like ¦¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦ ¦ ¦¦¦¦ ¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦ ¦ narwhal ¦¦¦ ¦ drunk bear ¦¦ ¦¦¦ ¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦¦¦. ¦¦¦¦¦ conveys the image of ¦ ¦¦¦¦ ¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦¦¦ ¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦ melted ice cream sandwiches ¦¦¦ ¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦¦¦¦ cigarette butts.}}

* Though the original videos are only rarely bleeped (most often in the case of [[Precision F-Strike]]), [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QOUBuqI0o-o this edit] manages to take the soft spoken and eloquent [[The Engineer|Engie]] of ''[[Team Fortress 2]]'' and manages to make him sound much more crass than he [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ipYkuCZ2IYI actually is.] And then there's the bit at 0:54 in the edit which takes a bit of the game's innate abuse of [[Ludicrous Gibs]] and turn it into positively [[Crosses the Line Twice|hilarious black comedy]]...

* The Micro-Episodes of ''[[The Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes]]'' got this treatment [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OverXxNSE38 here].

{{quote|'''[[Ant-Man]]:''' There were a couple of mercenaries on the beach, and I shrunk them down. Could you make sure the ants don't {{spoiler|eat}} them? Thanks.

'''[[The Wasp]]:''' {{spoiler|Eat}} them? Eww! }}

 

=== Western Animation ===

* The radio edit of [[Scissor Sisters]]' "Filthy/Gorgeous" bleeped the word "acid" (slang term for LSD)... but only the second syllable, which makes it sound weird and vaguely sexual ("Trip on a hit of ass"? ''Really''?!)

* In Malaysia, Katy Perry's song "I Kissed a Girl", after playing uncensored for a couple of weeks, had the word "Girl" censored out of the title and the song. The first thing that comes to mind after hearing the beep in the chorus are certain...erogenous parts of anatomy, which makes the song sleazier than intended.

* At Jamba Juice, the music that plays is from disks sent to the stores from the company. In an effort to be more hip, the disks have been including more recent hits, like [[M.I.A.]]'s "Paper Planes." They made the choice to censor out the sound effects, leaving us with "All I wanna do is ... and a ... and take your money," which can be interpreted as being strikingly sexual.

* The radio version of the 30 Seconds to Mars song "From Yesterday" suffers from this as well.
