Sometimes I think that FOX needs to hire censors that have their minds a little more firmly in the gutter to catch some of the things that are said on “Animation Domination.” Cases in point: Family Guy - Meg: “I can’t taste salt!” (It took me 3 times of seeing that episode before I finally went :eek:) American Dad - Roger: “Well I’ll be upstairs melting pearls on my tummy if you need me.” (First time: “I don’t get it.” Second time: :eek:) What are your favourite inappropriate phrases that made you think “Holy crap, how did that get past the censors?!!” ---

Well, it depends on if you think it was inappropriate or not, but Capt. Picard very clearly, if not very loudly, said “Merde!” on an episode of TNG. ---

I get the ‘melting pearls one:’ It’s a reference to how ejaculate might look on one’s stomach. I don’t get the salt one. ---

So there must be more to that joke than just the line “I can’t taste salt,” because out of context, I don’t see any reason to think of semen. ---

I think the salt thing is a reference to the joke about pretending to shake a salt shaker on your tongue and you will actually taste salt. Especially if you tilt your head back. You won’t taste salt, but you will look like you are sucking a dick. ---

Urine is known for being salty. Semen is not. It’s a non-joke in my view - just random Meg lameness. [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/your-favourite-omg-they-said-that-moments-on-fox/611435.md?page=2)
