After the imprisoned Sideshow Bob won his TV award, Krusty growled at him, “Hope you don’t drop it in the shower!”
During the '80’s, many of us highschoolers wondered how ZZ Top got away with the lines “Lord I want her/Shit I got to have her” in “Legs” on MTV. I mean, at that point, MTV was censoring pretty much everything (save jiggly sexuality).
Wally Cleaver: “You know mom, I think I know how the Beaver feels…”
From WCW Nitro:
The immortal words of Stevie Ray Huffman, Booker T’s brother:
“You got me baby. It won’t take --hmm, more than two or three minutes to get out this stuff and into my garb. Then I’m gonna get into the ring and I’m gonna get in your butt. It ain’t gonna take long baby.”
“Weekend Update is brought to you by Hershey Highway–turning America’s taste around since 1893.”
They once did “Colonel Lingus Fried Chicken…” I never heard the next line, we were laughing so loudly.
SNL also did the following during Weekend Update:
“The Post Office, today, unveiled a new stamp honoring the nation’s prostitues. The stamp costs .10, but if you want a lick it, it’ll cost you a quarter.”
Futurama Anthology of Interest II:
Bender has been turned into a human, complete with underwear. Bender wonders aloud, “Hey! Where’d my antenna go?” He then looks down in his underwear conveniently off the bottom of the screen. “Ah, there it is. How am I supposed to get any reception with that? Maybe if I move it around a little”
As Bender begins to reach into his shorts, Fry runs up and says, “Don’t! You’ll make the baby Jesus cry!”
I cracked up for minutes!
NoClueBoy:
No, it was worse: “Now, whenever anyone gets wood, they’ll think of the Trojans!”
The best “censorable” Family Guy moment I remember, is when the dad is pondering something and scratches his chin. Next thing he knows, his double/cleft chin is in his hands.
“How’d they get there?” her peruses, as he gently places them down the front of his pants.
Way way way too funny! And totally unexpected, and not related to anything at all!
Last night I was floored by a rerun of WIll & Grace. Grace was making fun of Alice, a Model UN partner from high school with a lisp:
Grace: Hello, my name is Alith Robinthon. But you can call me Mith Lathyfathe. Thecurity Couthel!
Will: She’s dead.
Grace: Thit.
This was on network!

anyone else as old as I remember a SNL episode where Paul Scheaffer is one of a groupd of early cavemen Beatles.
They were arguing and he was saying “Can;t you remember the floggin four beats?”
And slipped and said fookin?
Of course, there were no censors…
Mid 1980s UK sketch show- called ‘Not the Nine o clock News’ airing as it suggests at 9pm. starred Mel Smith, Pamela Stephenson (Billy Connolly’s wife and Rowna Atkinson). Each show had a spoof music video (this was at the height of popularity of the ‘new’ MTV. Their videos were often better than those on the real MTV!
Often risque, but their last show ever they ended with a video expressing sadness at loss called ‘It Kind of Lingers’; the chorus started as ‘Kind of Lingers’ to 'kina and was eventually indistinguishable from…:eek:
On network TV at 9pm, and no complaints that I remember. Very funny though.
On early MTV, the band “April Wine” got the video for their song, “If You See Kay” played at least once before anyone noticed.
Fox Sports Net ran a commercial for some dumb quiz show, over & over & over…husband is in the bedroom, trying on his wife’s bra. Wife walks in…and asks a sports trivia question. Tag line: don’t you wish all questions were this easy?
Ok…a bit edgy, but ok.
After Fox ran that commercial into the ground, they bring out the next one in the series. A guy is reclining on a sofa, shirtless. Dribbles milk from a carton over his bare chest. A cat jumps on his chest and starts lapping the milk off his nipples. Wife walks in, and asks a sports trivia question. Same tag line.
Great–we now have actual live beastiality in our commercials. I think Fox realized the same thing–I only saw that commercial once.
Well sure, but if you take away the lisp, all she said was “Sit.”
See, all good!
I’m thinking that Family Guy must’ve made the censors work overtime. Off the top of my head (and probably slightly off):
[sign over movie theatre] Dyslexics Film Festival: Now Playing- Feltch
Peter to Lois: “If I do this for you, I’m getting anal. That’s right- I’m going to clean the house from top to bottom.”
And there was a “Cleveland Steamer” reference as well.
Oh you didn’t like that one? I liked it.
Another example of Bender’s antena representing his penis…(besides the already mentioned scene where he mentions that his antena’s moved and start’s masturbating)…is when Bender and Fry are living together in a huge apartment. Bender’s antena is malfunctioning with the TV, so towards the end he decides to cut it off. This is considered a HUGE deal by everyone, and in fact, Bender refers to the antena as “little Bender.”
Also in the episode where Nixon decides to kill off all the robots, and they’re having the party on the island, Bender goes over to a keg to get a beer. He starts pumping it, and then realizes that it’s not a keg, but a robot. He apologizes, and the guy goes, “No, keep going,” or something to that effect.
And of course, “Balls thoroughly licked.”
And one more- when Bender becomes homeless…
“Hey Robo.”
“What’d you call me?!”
“Robo- you know? Robot-Hobo.”
“Ohhh. I thought you called me a Romo.”
I don’t get it.
I don’t think you want to. Trust me.
Heck, I don’t get this.
Think about it. Their mastery of the english language made them cunning linguists.
