Total Drama Island/Radar

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


"No wonder my little cousins aren't allowed to watch this show."

While this is a Canadian show (meaning they can get away with much "naughtier" stuff, since the Canadian rating system is different than the American one), you still have to wonder how some of these scenes managed to get past anyone's radar:


Total Drama Island:

  • In Up the Creek, Cody pulls bread out of his pants, which can be excusable because his pockets couldn't fit a whole loaf. Later, it is also shown that he had a can of pop in his pants, which could have fit into his pockets.
    • When he pulled said can of pop from his pants, it looked suspiciously like he was doing something else down there...
  • You've gotta wonder what happened to the censors when you consider Trent gets away with saying hell in X-Treme Torture.
    • How the hell does cartoon network censor the word boobies but not hell? Makes you wonder.
      • Granted, he was referring to it as a place, but still.
  • Owen has to give a purple nurple to a sleeping bear. First of all, that should not be done to anyone, much less a sleeping bear.
    • Some may have not considered this a problem, except when Owen exits the cave, there is a shot of the bear rubbing its chest area.

Owen: No! I like girls! I just don't want to sleep next to them! (Beat) ... Wait! No! That's not what I meant!

  • "Not So Happy Campers Part One":

Duncan: What are the sleeping arrangements? /points to Heather/ Because I want to bunk with her!

    • Actually he said he wanted to bunk "under her", which is arguably worse.
    • From the same episode:

Heather: Get bent!

  • This exchange in Season 1 ep No Pain, No Game:

Eva: You got that right, Sister Thunder-Thighs.
LeShawna: Oh, oh, oh, TELL me the macho mama with butt-cheeks tighter than my weave did not just say that!

  • "Not So Happy Campers - Part 1:"

DJ: It's our first challenge. How hard can it be?

/cut to contestants standing at the top of a massive cliff overlooking the lake/

DJ: Aw, s- (censored)

  • From the second episode we have:

Owen: Hey, check it out! I've got wood!

  • "Wow Bridgette, you pitch a tent like a guy!"
  • Owen, when in a canoe with Heather for a challenge, gives us this gem:

"If this boat's a rockin', Don't Come a-Knockin'!"

  • The entire 'Cody-trying-to-get-Gwen's-bra' subplot of Up The Creek, all the way up to his final line, "A gentleman never kisses and tells." The censors weren't distracted. They were dead.
  • LeShawna grabbing her own boobs while insulting Heather for being flat chested in Brunch Of Disgustingness.
  • Also in Brunch Of Disgustingness:

Owen: Alright, meatballs!
Chris: Not exactly...
Shot of a bull ox holding its head and groaning in pain

    • And that was just the bowdlerized version. Here's how that scene went in the Canadian airing:

Owen: Alright, meatballs! (starts eating)
Chris: Not exactly...Chef?
Chef: It's beef testicles, borginon!
Owen: Testicles?! (does a Spit Take in DJ's face)

  • In serial killer episode, on tv:

Owen: Owen's not getting to second base, is he.
Izzy: (shakes head)
Owen: ...First base?
Izzy: (shakes head again)
Owen: (beat) ...Is he going up to bat - (Izzy punches him)

  • From Camp Castaways:

Owen: I can't die now! I never had a date! I never had a girlfriend! I never got to live out any of my " Owen gets jiggy" fantasies!(Owen starts dancing while vague R&B music plays and Gwen begs him to stop). He was also in nothing but a loin cloth.

    • From the same episode, Chris mentions using props from a movie called "Bigassic Park" to design the deserted island. Yes, the film was called Bigassic Park.
  • In the episode Who Can You Trust?, a blindfolded Chris tries to hit an arrow being balanced on DJ's head using a crab apple and a slingshot (It Makes Sense in Context) but ends up accidentally hitting an important part of DJ's anatomy instead. Normally this wouldn't be so bad, radar-wise, but when Chris realizes that he missed his target...

Chris: Aw, nuts!

    • From the same episode, Gwen is climbing a rock wall in a race against DJ, Heather had attached an extra rope to Gwen's shorts, pulling on it when she had climbed higher than DJ, giving everyone there a nice view. She then catches the now ripped pants before exclaiming "screw it" and climbs the rest of the way in her underwear (more Panty Shot) winning the challenge and cheering with her pants held in the air before realizing she's giving everyone an even better view, swearing "crap" and covering herself up.
  • And let us not forget the time Heather, in an attempt to stop Harold from winning a challange by untying a rope attached to the jet ski she's driving (once again, It Makes Sense in Context) gets her tube top snagged on a tree branch...and then pulled completely off by the momentum of the jet ski.

Total Drama Action:

  • In Total Drama Action, Harold calls his butt his "greatest ass-et."
  • Duncan almost said "Payback's a - (bitch)" in the confessional in TDA before the camera cut him off.
  • Then there's Harold's line in The Sand Witch Project:

Harold: (to LeShawna) You're like Albert Einstein, but with better hair...and (creepy face) girly bits (wiggles fingers suggestively).

  • In the second season, Beth falls on top of Izzy. She says "Hey, you break 'em, you pay for 'em." I'll give you a while to figure out what she's talking about.
  • From Total Drama Action:

Harold: I'd never thought I'd say this, but I'm scared of beavers!

  • In "Dial M for Merger" Beth offers Courtney her French maid outfit in exchange for safety. Everyone looks squicked at this until Beth explains that it was a costume for a play.
  • From "The Princess Pride", when Duncan is trying to cheat blindly crossing a bridge guarded by Chef, who's dressed up as a toothless troll with a girly wig:

Duncan: Seeing Chef? Good. Seeing Chef as a transgendered troll? (snickers) Priceless.

  • Lindsay's song in 'Rock N Rule,' though she was probably getting the lyrics wrong, this is what she sang:

Lindsay: "Ooo, your face, in my glands. Ooo, oo, oo, oo, oo, oo, oo, oo, it's you and meeee!"

  • And then we have this:

Duncan: (looking very tired and with dark circles under his eyes) Don't worry, I spent the night in Courtney's trailer.

Owen: ... Ohohohoho, niiiicceee, well come on! Details!

Duncan: Down boy! We just talked!

Owen: Suuuure.

  • In Mutiny on the Soundstage when Duncan and Beth are tied up:

Duncan: I'm pretty much a Houdini at tying and untying anything. Comes in handy a lot of ways I don't think Ma had in mind.

  • The Halloween Episode (or the horror-themed-episode anyway) has Chris falling on a pole and using a special effect to look like he got impaled by it. Graphically. This, combined with a - simulated, of course - Dies Wide Open, results in what may be the most gratuitous instance of Gorn in a kids' show.
  • The illness-related episode has this gem:

"Wait a minute! That's a rectal thermometer!"

  • Heather and Gwen's rivalry being described as an epic hate-on during Celebrity Manhunt's Total Drama Action Reunion Special.

Total Drama World Tour:

Chef: Chris is such an idiot. ...Why's the PA still on? Oh, sh- (PA cuts off)

    • Not to mention calling the contestants "fruitcakes" for the singing.
    • From that same episode, Ezekiel says "What the shizzle?". Anybody familiar with Snoop Dogg speak most likely know what this means.
  • The writers have snuck crap past the radar with Alejandro's Gratuitous Spanish at least once, having him say, "malditos incompetentes" (damned incompetents).
    • Apparently, that was the edited version; what he was really saying was being censored with a long BLEEP, not unlike when Lindsay flipped Heather the bird in the first season.
  • Walk Like An Egyptian: Part II had a mating song that nearly killed the radar.

Alejandro: (singing) Scarabs, get busy now.

  • This deleted scene in Broadway, Baby! has Cody falling into the Statue of Liberty's boobs and almost dying. Unfortunately cut from the US version, but still very radar-shattering.
    • Chef: "But what a way to go!"
  • Also:

Willy: Bridgette, will you kiss this pole?

    • Not to mention fan speculation that it's, well...
  • Noah's line during the sausage-making challenge in Slap Slap Revolution. Made hilarious by the size of the two's relationship in fanon:

Noah: (snickers) Cody's got a tiny sausage!

    • Not to mention the position of said sausage.
  • "The Am-AH-Zon Race" didn't just kill the radar, it killed it, slept with its wife, shot its dog, stole its car and then killed it again.
    • Owen says that Alejandro might slightly not totally like him, and that hitting him in the face didn't help... "unless he likes that kind of thing. Fingers crossed."

Cody: You'll have to jam the needle into my naked butt-cheek. (winks)

    • Gwen has to stick her hand into Cody's pants to find his flashlight, while she moves her hand about Cody, who by the way, is not wearing any underwear, has an expression on his face that makes you think he's getting a freakin' handjob. What Gwen told him before doing it, and his confessional directly afterwards didn't help much.

Gwen: "You are not allowed to enjoy this."
Cody: (grins sleazily) "Gwen touched my butt. I was wearing pants, but it was pretty much my butt."

    • Gwen finds a pair of X-Ray glasses in Cody's pocket. He's on a team with four girls, guess what he does with it.
      • Not only that, but Gwen looks at Cody naked using said pair of glasses (thinking she would see his underwear). After that, Sierra asks to borrow those glasses (we all know why), and said she plans to have her arms extended, so next time, she will be the one to reach Cody's pants.
    • The above is made even worse by a scene soon after, where Intoxication Ensues-mode Gwen makes a hysterical call to Chris to report what had happened to Team Amazon:

Gwen: Chris, Chris, Chris! The Zingies! Caught by the tree, tied up, my hands are in Cody's pants, this trouble is big!

Tyler:(overhears on other line, without knowing what's really going on) Way to go Cody!

Cody: Thank you!

  • From Newf Kids On The Rock:

Courtney: I was a C.I.T!
Heather: More like a B-I-T-C-
Gwen: Guys, let's get going.

  • In Aftermath: Aftermayhem, Geoff says that Blaineley is "full of you-know-what" during his song about her.
  • In Picnic at Hanging Dork, when Gwen thinks she won, she gives us this line:

Gwen: Ha! Suck it, Courtney!

  • In the beginning of "Chinese Fake Out":

Cody: I don't want kids! (terrified voice) She can't make me have kids, right!?

  • From African Lying Society:

Alejandro: (to Heather) Well "loser" is what the lion called you, when you when you couldn't find your baaaalls... (quickly) Tranq-balls that is.

  • At one point in Rapa-phooey we get Cute Shotaro Boy Cody sitting in Badass Spaniard Alejandro's lap and hugging him, while Alejandro nervously asks him to get off before someone sees them. Ladies and gentlemen, the radar is no longer with us.
  • Being in Drumheller lead to a "Put me the heller down!" joke from Heather.
  • From Greece's Pieces

Heather: I'm fast AND flexible.

  • On "Planes, Trains, and Hot Air Mobiles" , after Cody stole his first place on a race.

Alejandro: "Mala suerte, mierda!" (which translates to "how unlucky, shit!").

    • We also have this gem when Alejandro and Heather are using their walkie-talkies and get annoyed with one another:

Heather: Guess what? I can just turn you off!
Alejandro: Of course you can. You’re an expert at turning people off!

  • In Walk Like An Egyptian - Part 1 Chris introduces Alejandro as being able to "charm the pants off" any living creature. Think about it.
  • From "The Ex Files":

Tyler: I would never cheat on my Lindsay the way he hurt Courtney! He deserves two kicks to the -
Owen: Ahem.

Total Drama Revenge of the Island:

  • From the same episode, Sam complains he's overstimulated. Scott then trips into him and falls on his back, and the giant spider webs them together. Scott gives him an awkward look while Sam says "Yep....Definatly overstimulated..."
  • Jo squat thrusting at Brick in "Backstabbers, Ahoy!".
  • From "Runaway Model":

Chris: Hey, it's not my fault Lindsay is delicious!

[everyone gives him awkward looks]

  • Jo working out "like the ancient Olympians." Even though it was just her shadow, it doesn't take much for the imagination to wander...
  • Speaking of Jo, Lightning seems to think she's a guy. Makes you wonder about the following exchange:

Jo: I never kissed a guy.
Lightning: Oh...uh...that's okay. Lightning don't judge.

  • In "Grand Chef Auto", Cameron get attacked by mutant chipmunks. His reaction:

They're all over me! And they're biting my nuts! (holds bag of peanuts)

    • Made funnier when you realize that peanuts aren't even really nuts.
  • In The Enchanted Franken-Forest, Cameron keeps getting scared by Lightning threatening him and hiding behind Zoey. Cameron is so short that his face is always up against Zoey's ass whenever he does this, which was at least three times.
