History Main / CurseCutShort

But in either case, said character may be confused about the interruption, and either ask what they said or try to defend themselves by insisting that they were going to say something less vulgar than their peers thought.

The phrase, "Son of a..." is such a widespread variant that it's practically become a valid expression in its own right. Similarly, [[WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons "Why, you little..."]]

A character is part way through saying a rude word when they are abruptly interrupted, often for comic effect. Often, the interrupter will [[LastSecondWordSwap finish the curse with his/her first syllable]]. Likely began as a means of GettingCrapPastTheRadar.

** Or the speaker may interrupt or cut off ''themselves''.

Compare LastSecondWordSwap, in which the expected curse is avoided by saying something else, rather than being cut off. For the non-cursing variety where important information is cut off instead, see LostInTransmission. See also CatchphraseInterruptus. See also SubvertedRhymeEveryOccasion, for the common case where a speaker sets up a rhyme to lead you to expect a bad word, then says something else.

* At the end of ''Film/TheGoodTheBadAndTheUgly'', Tuco is staggering after Blondie who's departing with the gold they were chasing after all film. He expresses his negative opinion of Blondie's parentage, but gets cut off at the last word by the opening riff of the ending theme.
** Apparently, what Eli Wallach actually yelled, since he knew it would be dubbed over anyway (as was common practice for Italian films of the era) was, "YOU KNOW WHAT YOU ARE?!? JUST A DIRTY MOTHERFUCKER!"

* In ''[[Film/OceansEleven Ocean's Twelve]]'', a character is complaining about the censorship of his music, and the bleeps over the soundtrack playing exactly match up with his swear words. He then interrupts himself to tell someone to turn off the censor machine.
* A combination "Sound Effects Bleep" and "Cut to Another Scene" in ''Sex and the Single Girl'' happens when Creator/NatalieWood starts to yell something like "Why you..." into a phone. Cut to the person on the other end of the line, and "cuckoo" sounds coming out of the phone.
* ''Film/SmokeyAndTheBandit'': Texas Sheriff Buford T. Justice is chasing the Bandit across several states in his increasingly damaged police car. An Arkansas State Trooper looks at the severely dilapidated automobile, and says "You can't drive this piece of shit on the highway." Sheriff Justice proceeds to "tear him a new one" both for his unprofessional use of foul language, and the fact he's been chasing a criminal who's violated a number of state and federal laws. As the trooper apologizes, we hear the faint sound in the distance of an approaching big rig. As Sheriff Justice prepares to put the car in gear and leave, he says, "I accept your apology, now ..." his words are obliterated by the truck horn as it passes, but his lips clearly show him saying, "...fuck off."
* A RunningGag in ''WesternAnimation/{{Megamind}}'' is that [[LeftTheBackgroundMusicOn the "background music" is provided by Minion with a boombox.]] When the song "Highway to Hell" is used, all the "Hells" are cut off by Minion having trouble with the stereo.

* In ''Series/TheITCrowd'', Jen unleashes a tirade of swears to a Japanese man who stepped on her feet with Doc Martens. These are conveniently bleeped out by an employee nearby using a [[SoundEffectBleep button]]. Made even more funny when said employee is out of time with covering up Renholm's swearing at Jen.
* In an episode of ''Series/WillAndGrace'', Will mentions an old friend of Grace's. Grace mentions that she once made fun of the girl's lisp, and proceeds to do it again. Will mentions that the friend died, and Grace moans, "Oh, shit." However, she's still making fun of her lisp, so it comes out more like a combination of "sit" and "slit."

* In a ''Series/PushingDaisies'' episode, a nun spouts off several obscenities, all of which are masked by the ringing of a church bell.
** And in the episode Circus Circus, Ned's apparently quoting obscenities, while a firebreather is loudly practicing his trade directly in front of the camera.
* In the [[Series/SquareOneTV Mathnet]] case "The Case of the Parking Meter Massacre", George Frankly asks a witness, Fred Furd, what kind of guy George Steinbrenner is. He answers, "Aw, George is a...", and the honking of cars drown out what he was saying. George Frankly stops smiling and says, "I heard that about him," while Kate just looks shocked at what she just heard.
* In ''TheWhiteShadow'', as they are walking along a busy city sidewalk, a high school student confides in a friend that his girlfriend has just told him she's pregnant. The astonished friend responds, "Pregnant! No sh..?" just as a bus passes by them and honks loudly.

[[AC:{{Machinima}}]]
* Machinima/Supermarioglitchy4sSuperMario64Bloopers use this a LOT. Here are a few common examples:
** The Policeman's "BULLSH*T!"
** Mario's "Mama F***er!"
** [[TheCameo Game Reviewer]] (from "Ssenmodnar 3") has a lot of censored words, [[spoiler:taken from WebVideo/TheAngryVideoGameNerd]].

** "AHHH F***-"

[[AC:{{Music}}]]
* In Huey Lewis & the News's "Heart Of Rock And Roll", the line "But it's still that same old back beat rhythm/that really really kicks them in the..." ends with a drum riff.
* The pub song "Woman from Belfast" has several examples of this particular trope.
-->Now this is the end of this old Belfast farce\\
And about my poor friend's undependable [guitar twang]

[[AC:ProfessionalWrestling]]
* Subverted on a 2006 ''[[Wrestling/{{WWERaw}} Raw]]'', during a match pitting super-hot diva Wrestling/{{Maria|Kanellis}} against the bloodthirsty Samoan monster heel Wrestling/{{Umaga}}, when Umaga did his avalanche move on a prone Maria, announcer Wrestling/JimRoss cried out in disbelief, "Oh Jesus!" with Jesus muted out on U.S. broadcasts, leaving the impression that he had uttered "Oh shit!"
* Also subverted at the 2006 ''Wrestling/RoyalRumble'', where [[spoiler: Wrestling/TheUndertaker]] returned and summoned lightning to strike the ring that one Wrestling/KurtAngle was standing in at the time. The ring fell apart, causing commentator Wrestling/{{Tazz}} to cry out "Holy shit*BEEP*! What the hell's going on?!". The beep however, came the second after Tazz finished saying the word. The censors probably weren't too happy.

[[AC:VideoGames]]
* In ''VideoGame/HalfLife2'', as Gordon is entering the Citadel, Barney makes a request of him:
-->'''Barney:''' If you see Breen, tell him I said fu-- [Grinding sound of metal debris and rubble collapsing] --you!
** The rubble collapsing and Barney's dialogue are two separate sound files, which means if you experience any sort of sound glitch at that time (for example, the "dialogue stutter" that used to be quite common), you can hear the full like in all its glory. (Or just dig around in the game files until you find the appropriate sound file...)
* In the opening scene of ''VideoGame/StarCraft'', some of the Terran scavengers have the following exchange:
--> "You girls strapped in nice and tight now?"
--> "Tighter than your momma's--"
--> (The bay door opens loudly)
--> "That's a good one, man!"
* In ''VideoGame/{{Persona 3}}'', Junpei's [[LimitBreak All-Out Attack]] quote is stopped by the sound effect of the BigBallOfViolence.

* Done at the end of Team Chaotix's theme in ''VideoGame/SonicHeroes''. "They're gonna kick your... (gong sound)"
* Done in the first UsefulNotes/PlayStation version of ''VideoGame/YouDontKnowJack'' during one of the production chatter openings. Someone makes a rude remark to a stagehand only to be responded with, "KISS MY... (BULLHORN)."

[[AC:WebOriginal]]
* [[http://www.feissarimokat.com/2013/07/likainen-mieli-on-ikuinen-ilo-osa-20/ This rather long]] exchange, originally posted in Finnish on Facebook, ends each part with a curse cut short, and the next part then subverts the dirtiness by ending the word differently.
* When Ghost of ''Radio/TrueCapitalist Radio'' rages, the sound of his cans sometimes interrupts his cursing.

[[AC:WesternAnimation]]
* In the ''WesternAnimation/YoungJustice'' episode "Secrets", Artemis shoots at Harm while making her escape, only for him to catch it with his bare hands. Unfortunately, she races out slamming the door behind her, while Harm notices the gas filling the room from the open stove. Then the arrow ignites...
-->'''Harm:''' Oh, that little.... '''* BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMM!!!* ''' (The house explodes)
* In the ''WesternAnimation/JusticeLeague Unlimited'' episode "[[Recap/JusticeLeagueUnlimitedS1E2ForTheManWhoHasEverything For The Man who Has Everything]]''. In [[ComicBook/ForTheManWhoHasEverything the comic it's based on]], Wonder Woman says "hell".
-->'''Mongul:''' Oh, dear. Is that a neural impactor? I didn't know that they were still making those. I'd advise you to try the plasma disruptor. It's more of a woman's weapon.
-->'''Franchise/WonderWoman:''' Go to '''* SHBOOOOOOOMMMMMM!!!!* '''
* In an episode of ''WesternAnimation/{{Rugrats}}'', Angelica is appearing on a kid's show whose host was… not fond of them, to say the least. She came up with a "real" new Happy Fun Phrase for what she thinks of them. Also combo'd very well with a RunningGag.
--> '''Angelica''': No. mommy. The new happy fun phrase is: She thinks we're all little....(A truck goes by and honks loudly as Angelica says a "new word" she learned).
* ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons''
** Homer's other CatchPhrase, ''"Why, you little...!"''
** James Woods wants to leave his job at the Kwik-E-Mart after being told his movie role has been changed while cleaning the microwave:
-->'''Woods''':...What do you mean, I gotta give two weeks' notice? Why you frickin', no good, motha [beep] [beep] cheese! ...No, not you, I'm just talking to my oven.
* ''WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy'' has a similar gag:
-->'''Lois''': You see Meg, I'm like one of those Bald eagles on the Discovery Channel. Beautiful to look at... but mess with one of my baby chicks and I'll use my razor-sharp talons to rip your
-->[oven dings]
-->'''Lois''': ... ing eyes out. Cookies are done. Who wants chocolate chip?
** In the first episode when Peter tries to win money on a talent show:
-->'''Emcee''': And the prize goes to The von Trapp Family Singers!
-->'''Peter''': That is bull... (drowned out by applause)
** Also in that episode after finding out that Peter got all that money from welfare Lois says "What the fu--(gets cut off by Peter blowing an air horn)".
** In "PTV" the FCC tries to censor real life, they blow an air horn to cover up swear words.
-->'''Peter''': Oh, Lois, you are so full of (BEEP)! WHAT?! Now I can't say (BEEP) in my own (BEEP)ing house?! Great, Lois. Just (BEEP)in' great. You know, you're lucky you're good at (BEEP) my (BEEP) or I'd never put up with ya. You know what I'm talking about, when you (BEEP) lubed-up (BEEP) toothpaste in my (BEEP) while you (BEEP) on a cherry (BEEP)Episcopalian (BEEP) extension cord (BEEP) wetness (BEEP) with a parking ticket. That is the best!
* ''WesternAnimation/ThePowerpuffGirls'' episode "Curses" has the girls overhearing the Professor spouting a blue word (obscured by sound effects) after injuring his thumb, and they spend the rest of the episode repeating it because they think it's neat.
* In ''WesternAnimation/SpongeBobSquarePants'', it turns out that the seemingly incidental or censorial noises of a dolphin chattering and/or boat horn honking ''are'' the bad words to the undersea dwellers.
* In ''Disney/DerFuehrersFace'':
--> Oh, when [[UsefulNotes/AdolfHitler der Fuehrer]] yells,
-->"I've got to have more shells!"
-->We heil! Heil!
-->For him we make more shells!
-->If one little shell should blow him right to (WesternAnimation/DonaldDuck gets hit in the head by a large shell) * CLANG*
-->We heil! Heil!
-->And wouldn't that be swell!
* In the ''WesternAnimation/SpaceGhostCoastToCoast'' episode "King Dead", Space Ghost saying "fucking" is cut off by his megaphone crackling, so all we hear is "Just don't touch my TV, OK? Or you're... king dead!" The episode also begins with Space Ghost saying "-king dead!", after having been locked outside of the studio by Zorak and Moltar.
* In ''WesternAnimation/TheRenAndStimpyShow'' episode "Royal Canadian Kilted Yaksmen" a line in the Yaksmen National Anthem goes like "And we will probably go to hell" when they sing that part "hell" is droned out by a farting sound and it can be seen when the lyrics go by with the word crossed off.
* ''WesternAnimation/{{Metalocalypse}}'' does this frequently with pinch harmonics.
* In the 'Gee Whiz' episode of ''WesternAnimation/AquaTeenHungerForce'', Meatwad goes on a little curse rant constituted by various SFX used as bleeps.
* From ''WesternAnimation/OpenSeason 2'':
-->'''[=McSquizzy=]''': (to a Doberman) You muscle bound sack of sh--(gets cut off by someone loudly drinking coconut juice with a straw).

* In ''WesternAnimation/TheRenAndStimpyShow'' episode "Royal Canadian Kilted Yaksmen" a line in the Yaksmen National Anthem goes like "And we will probably go to hell" when they sing that part "hell" is droned out by a farting sound and it can be seen when the lyrics go by with the word crossed off.

An Arkansas State Trooper looks at the severely dilapidated automobile, and says "You can't drive this piece of shit on the highway."

As the trooper apologizes, we hear the faint sound in the distance of an approaching big rig. As Sheriff Justice prepares to put the car in gear and leave, he says, "I accept your apology, now ..." his words are obliterated by the truck horn as it passes, but his lips clearly show him saying, "...fuck off."
* A RunningGag in ''WesternAnimation/{{Megamind}}'' is that [[LeftTheBackgroundMusicOn the "background music" is provided by Minion with a boombox.]] When the song "Highway to Hell" is used, all the "Hells" are cut off by Minion having trouble with the stereo.

* In an episode of ''Series/WillAndGrace'', Will mentions an old friend of Grace's. Grace mentions that she once made fun of the girl's lisp, and proceeds to do it again. Will mentions that the friend died, and Grace moans, "Oh, shit." However, she's still making fun of her lisp, so it comes out more like a combination of "sit" and "slit."

[[AC:{{Music}}]]
* In Huey Lewis & the News's "Heart Of Rock And Roll", the line "But it's still that same old back beat rhythm/that really really kicks them in the..." ends with a drum riff.
* The pub song "Woman from Belfast" has several examples of this particular trope.
-->Now this is the end of this old Belfast farce\\
And about my poor friend's undependable [guitar twang]

[[AC:ProfessionalWrestling]]
* Subverted on a 2006 ''[[Wrestling/{{WWERaw}} Raw]]'', during a match pitting super-hot diva Wrestling/{{Maria|Kanellis}} against the bloodthirsty Samoan monster heel Wrestling/{{Umaga}}, when Umaga did his avalanche move on a prone Maria, announcer Wrestling/JimRoss cried out in disbelief, "Oh Jesus!" with Jesus muted out on U.S. broadcasts, leaving the impression that he had uttered "Oh shit!"
* Also subverted at the 2006 ''Wrestling/RoyalRumble'', where [[spoiler: Wrestling/TheUndertaker]] returned and summoned lightning to strike the ring that one Wrestling/KurtAngle was standing in at the time. The ring fell apart, causing commentator Wrestling/{{Tazz}} to cry out "Holy shit*BEEP*! What the hell's going on?!". The beep however, came the second after Tazz finished saying the word. The censors probably weren't too happy.

[[AC:VideoGames]]
* In ''VideoGame/HalfLife2'', as Gordon is entering the Citadel, Barney makes a request of him:
-->'''Barney:''' If you see Breen, tell him I said fu-- [Grinding sound of metal debris and rubble collapsing] --you!
** The rubble collapsing and Barney's dialogue are two separate sound files, which means if you experience any sort of sound glitch at that time (for example, the "dialogue stutter" that used to be quite common), you can hear the full like in all its glory. (Or just dig around in the game files until you find the appropriate sound file...)
* In the opening scene of ''VideoGame/StarCraft'', some of the Terran scavengers have the following exchange:
--> "You girls strapped in nice and tight now?"
--> "Tighter than your momma's--"
--> (The bay door opens loudly)
--> "That's a good one, man!"
* In ''VideoGame/{{Persona 3}}'', Junpei's [[LimitBreak All-Out Attack]] quote is stopped by the sound effect of the BigBallOfViolence.
--> '''Junpei''': "Get back here, you son of a-"
* At the beginning of the ''VideoGame/TeamFortress2'' short ''Meet the Pyro'', as Scout tries to take off the mic attached to his chest, he says "How do I get this *mic bumping sound*-ing thing off?"
* Done at the end of Team Chaotix's theme in ''VideoGame/SonicHeroes''. "They're gonna kick your... (gong sound)"
* Done in the first UsefulNotes/PlayStation version of ''VideoGame/YouDontKnowJack'' during one of the production chatter openings. Someone makes a rude remark to a stagehand only to be responded with, "KISS MY... (BULLHORN)."
* Needles Kane gets in on this during his introduction in ''VideoGame/TwistedMetal: Black''.
--> Shut up and ''bleed'', you motherfu--[ScareChord]

[[AC:WebComics]]
* In ''WebComic/RustyAndCo'', by a [[SpeechBubblesInterruption well-placed]] WrittenSoundEffect.
-->'''Handsome D'an:''' I don't care! Shoot them up their ''<DING>''

[[AC:WebOriginal]]
* [[http://www.feissarimokat.com/2013/07/likainen-mieli-on-ikuinen-ilo-osa-20/ This rather long]] exchange, originally posted in Finnish on Facebook, ends each part with a curse cut short, and the next part then subverts the dirtiness by ending the word differently.
* When Ghost of ''Radio/TrueCapitalist Radio'' rages, the sound of his cans sometimes interrupts his cursing.

[[AC:WesternAnimation]]
* In the ''WesternAnimation/YoungJustice'' episode "Secrets", Artemis shoots at Harm while making her escape, only for him to catch it with his bare hands. Unfortunately, she races out slamming the door behind her, while Harm notices the gas filling the room from the open stove. Then the arrow ignites...
-->'''Harm:''' Oh, that little.... '''* BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMM!!!* ''' (The house explodes)
* In the ''WesternAnimation/JusticeLeague Unlimited'' episode "[[Recap/JusticeLeagueUnlimitedS1E2ForTheManWhoHasEverything For The Man who Has Everything]]''. In [[ComicBook/ForTheManWhoHasEverything the comic it's based on]], Wonder Woman says "hell".
-->'''Mongul:''' Oh, dear. Is that a neural impactor? I didn't know that they were still making those. I'd advise you to try the plasma disruptor. It's more of a woman's weapon.
-->'''Franchise/WonderWoman:''' Go to '''* SHBOOOOOOOMMMMMM!!!!* '''
* In an episode of ''WesternAnimation/{{Rugrats}}'', Angelica is appearing on a kid's show whose host was… not fond of them, to say the least. She came up with a "real" new Happy Fun Phrase for what she thinks of them. Also combo'd very well with a RunningGag.
--> '''Angelica''': No. mommy. The new happy fun phrase is: She thinks we're all little....(A truck goes by and honks loudly as Angelica says a "new word" she learned).
* ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons''
** Homer's other CatchPhrase, ''"Why, you little...!"''
** James Woods wants to leave his job at the Kwik-E-Mart after being told his movie role has been changed while cleaning the microwave:
-->'''Woods''':...What do you mean, I gotta give two weeks' notice? Why you frickin', no good, motha [beep] [beep] cheese! ...No, not you, I'm just talking to my oven.
* ''WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy'' has a similar gag:
-->'''Lois''': You see Meg, I'm like one of those Bald eagles on the Discovery Channel. Beautiful to look at... but mess with one of my baby chicks and I'll use my razor-sharp talons to rip your
-->[oven dings]
-->'''Lois''': ... ing eyes out. Cookies are done. Who wants chocolate chip?
** In the first episode when Peter tries to win money on a talent show:
-->'''Emcee''': And the prize goes to The von Trapp Family Singers!
-->'''Peter''': That is bull... (drowned out by applause)
** Also in that episode after finding out that Peter got all that money from welfare Lois says "What the fu--(gets cut off by Peter blowing an air horn)".
** In "PTV" the FCC tries to censor real life, they blow an air horn to cover up swear words.
-->'''Peter''': Oh, Lois, you are so full of (BEEP)! WHAT?! Now I can't say (BEEP) in my own (BEEP)ing house?! Great, Lois. Just (BEEP)in' great. You know, you're lucky you're good at (BEEP) my (BEEP) or I'd never put up with ya. You know what I'm talking about, when you (BEEP) lubed-up (BEEP) toothpaste in my (BEEP) while you (BEEP) on a cherry (BEEP)Episcopalian (BEEP) extension cord (BEEP) wetness (BEEP) with a parking ticket. That is the best!
* ''WesternAnimation/ThePowerpuffGirls'' episode "Curses" has the girls overhearing the Professor spouting a blue word (obscured by sound effects) after injuring his thumb, and they spend the rest of the episode repeating it because they think it's neat.
* In ''WesternAnimation/SpongeBobSquarePants'', it turns out that the seemingly incidental or censorial noises of a dolphin chattering and/or boat horn honking ''are'' the bad words to the undersea dwellers.
* In ''Disney/DerFuehrersFace'':
--> Oh, when [[UsefulNotes/AdolfHitler der Fuehrer]] yells,
-->"I've got to have more shells!"
-->We heil! Heil!
-->For him we make more shells!
-->If one little shell should blow him right to (WesternAnimation/DonaldDuck gets hit in the head by a large shell) * CLANG*
-->We heil! Heil!
-->And wouldn't that be swell!
* In the ''WesternAnimation/SpaceGhostCoastToCoast'' episode "King Dead", Space Ghost saying "fucking" is cut off by his megaphone crackling, so all we hear is "Just don't touch my TV, OK? Or you're... king dead!" The episode also begins with Space Ghost saying "-king dead!", after having been locked outside of the studio by Zorak and Moltar.
* In ''WesternAnimation/TheRenAndStimpyShow'' episode "Royal Canadian Kilted Yaksmen" a line in the Yaksmen National Anthem goes like "And we will probably go to hell" when they sing that part "hell" is droned out by a farting sound and it can be seen when the lyrics go by with the word crossed off.
* ''WesternAnimation/{{Metalocalypse}}'' does this frequently with pinch harmonics.
* In the 'Gee Whiz' episode of ''WesternAnimation/AquaTeenHungerForce'', Meatwad goes on a little curse rant constituted by various SFX used as bleeps.
* From ''WesternAnimation/OpenSeason 2'':
-->'''[=McSquizzy=]''': (to a Doberman) You muscle bound sack of sh--(gets cut off by someone loudly drinking coconut juice with a straw).

[[AC:ComicBooks]]
* The second Comicbook/TheSavageDragon[=/=][[Comicbook/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtlesMirage TMNT]] crossover ends with a building falling on the heroes, while they exclaim: "Oh, sh-". The storyline continues in Savage Dragon #22, in which begins with them saying "-it!"

** "The Eclipse, Part II":
----> '''Claire''': (on seeing Hiro's comic and how it matches the scene in the past they're watching) "Holy sh--" [to be continued...]
** Amusingly, in several of these cases the next episode's cold open repeats the final scene...except, obviously, the show doesn't end, which leads to unfortunate continuity errors like the scene playing out in the exact same way except for Claire saying "Oh my God" instead.
* The ''Series/{{Blackadder}}'' episode "Beer" ends with everyone very drunk:
-->'''Lady Whiteadder''': "Luck!" Wa-hey! Get it?\\
'''Everyone else''': No…\\
'''Lady Whiteadder''': Oh, come on! "Luck" sounds almost exactly like "fu-" [closing credits]
* Every episode (at the very least most of them) of ''Series/LabRats'' ends with the words "Oh, for fu--". In fact, it cuts off ''after'' "fuck" rather than in the middle, leaving the full phrase uncompleted but the PrecisionFStrike intact.
* In the famed Spanish Inquisition episode of ''Series/MontyPythonsFlyingCircus'', Cardinal Ximenez' CatchPhrase gets cut short by the credits, prompting him to say "Oh, bug-" (presumably the beginning of 'bugger')
** Oh really? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m07ISfx_5b0&feature=related (7:00 onwards)

[[AC:{{Music}}]]
* Wilco's song "Monday" ends with singer Jeff Tweedy exclaiming, "Son of a--!"
* ''Music/WeirdAl'' is notoriously clean in his lyrics, but he does push the envelope in a couple songs as they fade out. The first one is in "Phony Calls" where the final line as the song fades out is "...but you're just a pain in the..."
** "Another Tattoo" is Even Worse, as the last thing heard before the fade out is "OW! Mother-"

[[AC:WebComics]]
* ''Webcomic/GunnerkriggCourt''. There is a symbol (the elemental symbol for antimony) that is in the lower right hand corner of the last page of each chapter. [[http://www.gunnerkrigg.com/archive_page.php?comicID=331 On one occasion]], the symbol was strategically placed over the last half of a curse word.

* Done in the trailer for ''Film/{{Red}}'', if not in the actual film. The trailer closes with John Malkovich's character reacting to being called an "old man", and he proclaims "old man my a-" before the trailer cuts to credits and "Coming soon" bit.
* In ''WesternAnimation/HowToTrainYourDragon'' we see [[Creator/GerardButler Stoick]] ''mouthing'' "what the--" before cutting to another shot--[[HoldYourHippogriffs though he probably would have just said the Viking equivalent for "hell" anyway]].
* The 2002 ''Franchise/BackToTheFuture'' DVD set uses this on the menu screen for the [[Film/BackToTheFuture first film]] when it shows a clip of Biff's car slamming into the manure truck.
* In ''Film/TransformersDarkOfTheMoon'', Brains gives us this little gem when he and Wheelie crash land within one of the Decepticon shuttles before the scene transitions to Epps and his crew:
-->'''Brains''': This is a total clusterf-
** This might also be seen as a bit of lampshade hanging as the movie [[NoAttentionSpan had unusually brief scenes]].
* In [[http://www.imdb.com/video/screenplay/vi3583967513/ this]] trailer for ''Film/RobotJox''.
--> '''Pilot''': I'm gonna get in this thing, and I gonna [[PunctuatedForEmphasis kick! Your!]] (cuts to a Robot's head exploding)
** The cut was made to make the trailer age-safe. It's not cut in the actual film, which has a [=PG=] rating.
* Scotty's reaction to seeing the ''Vengeance'' for the first time in ''Film/StarTrekIntoDarkness''. He is interrupted by the scene changing to Kirk and Spock entering a room.
-->'''Scotty:''' "Holy sh--" ''*swish of doors opening on the ''Enterprise''*''

* ''Film/AustinPowers: The Spy Who Shagged Me''
** A [[OverlyLongGag comically drawn-out]] sequence of this, after various people all over the world noticed Dr. Evil's phallus-shaped spaceship returning to Earth.
--->'''Radar Operator:''' Colonel, you better have a look at this radar.\\
'''Colonel:''' What is it, son?\\
'''Radar Operator:''' I don't know, sir, but it looks like a giant...\\

'''Colonel:''' Johnson.\\
'''Radar Operator:''' Yes, sir?\\
'''Colonel:''' Get on the horn to British Intelligence and let them know about this.
** It goes on like that for a further 90 seconds.
** At the end of the film:

'''Fan:''' Woody. Woody Harrelson. Could I have your autograph?\\
'''Woody:''' Sure. Oh, my Lord! Look at that thing!\\
'''Fan:''' It's so big.\\
'''Woody:''' No, I've seen bigger. That's...\\
'''[[spoiler:Dr. Evil]]''': Just a little prick.
** The ''exact same gag'' was used in the next film, ''Goldmember'', with a satellite that looked like a certain part of the female anatomy, leading to this LampshadeHanging:
---> '''Ozzy Osborne:''' Boobs!\\
'''Sharon Osborne''' Boobs, Ozzy?\\
'''Ozzy Osborne:''' These filmmakers are just a bunch of f**cking boobs.\\
'''Kelly Osborne:''' What do you mean, Dad?\\
'''Ozzy Osborne:''' I mean, they're using the same f**cking jokes as they did in the last Austin Powers movie.\\
'''Sharon Osborne:''' What f**cking joke?\\
'''Jack Osborne:''' You know, the f**cking joke about the rocket that looks like some guy's--\\
'''General Clark:''' Johnson!
** ''Webcomic/DominicDeegan'' does this same routine, only much shorter, in one comic to blot out the AtomicFBomb.
* The final scene of ''WesternAnimation/BatmanAssaultOnArkham'' has Amanda Waller notice [[spoiler: a laser dot on her and then cuts to Deadshot aiming a sniper rifle while his daughter plays with a toy in the background with headphones on]].
-->'''Waller''': Motherfu--
* In ''Disney/{{Moana}}'', Moana calls Maui a "son of a..." after he leaves her stuck in a cave. Before Moana can finish the sentence, the scene cuts to Maui.

* ''Series/ThirtyRock'': In the episode "The Funcooker", Jenna Maroney falls asleep from exhaustion while hosting the St. Patrick's Day Parade. Tracy then shouts at her "Wake up motherf-". At that point the television that the program is being played on is turned off.
* ''Series/ArrestedDevelopment'' has a variation on this in "Afternoon Delight". One scene starts with Gob talking about his "-king six thousand dollar suit." We later get a flashback to the first part of the scene, where he starts the "fu-" before it cuts away.
* ''Series/BlackBooks'', after Bernard is locked out of the shop by the fancy security system and its ''soundproof'' door:
-->''[outside shot]''\\
'''Manny:''' ''[runs off and writes on paper, then brings it back to show to Bernard]'' I think I've locked you out!\\
'''Bernard:''' ''[withering stare]'' Yes! Yes!\\
'''Manny:''' ''[runs off and writes on paper again] Oh no<''\\
'''Bernard: ''WRITE SOMETHING USEFUL YOU STUPID FU--'' '''\\
''[cuts to (silent) interior shot where we see him continue his tirade]''
* The ''Series/BurnNotice'' episode "Blind Spot":

** In "Boom", Castle's rant gets cut in the end.
--->'''Castle''': Ryan and Esposito have a better car than you do. I'm just embarrassed to have criminals in the back of that thing and I don't know about your seat, but mine has a spring that hits me in the...
** Played with beautifully in the mockumentary episode.
--->'''Esposito:''' ''[Hamming it up for the cameras]'' We've got you now, you son of a bitch. ''[Pauses, looks up at the camera]'' I'm sorry, can I even say son of a-- ''[Scene ends]''
* In the pilot episode of ''Series/CSICrimeSceneInvestigation'', Grissom arranges a prank in which the team's new recruit gets scared by some corpses in the morgue. She leaves the room in momentary panic and runs into Grissom, at which point he turns to the porthole-style window in the door she's just come through. The scene cuts from the hallway to inside the room she exited, and we see Grissom through the window, calling through the glass to "scold" the corpses for scaring her. His voice is muffled by the closed door, and his lips obscured by shadow, but there's just enough of an audible murmur to make it clear he's saying "You assholes!"
* Played with in the December 11th 2013 episode of ''Series/TheDailyShow'', where correspondent Jason Jones is reporting on the latest budget deal in the US Congress, [[http://www.cc.com/video-clips/4jk9fb/the-daily-show-with-jon-stewart-budget-battle--the-movie in the style of an action movie trailer.]]
-->''"[[Film/DieHard Yippie-ki-yay, motherfffff-]]" ''[Pauses, looks up at the camera]'' "Come on guys! You've gotta cut there!"''

* An episode of ''Series/HolmesOnHomes'' had Mike Holmes, astounded by the bad job a house builder had done, start making a comment, and then cut to Damon while he was in the middle of a sentence.
-->'''Mike:''' Holy shi-- ''[Cut]''\\
'''Damon:''' ...ims missing from around the door like the shims missing from the window.
* ''Series/{{Leverage}}'':
** Eliot has been getting the mark to say certain sounds into his mic so Parker can pick a voice lock.
--->'''Parker''': "I still need "ef," "uh," and "kuh."\\
'''Eliot''': "Don't worry..."\\
'''Mark''': "This is ''shrimp'', you stupid f--"\\
'''Parker''': "Oh! There they are. [[AtomicFBomb Really loud too]]."

''The mark slams his phone shut in frustration''\\
'''Sophie to the rest of the gang:''' He hung up.\\
'''Nate:''' [[DeadpanSnarker No kidding.]]
** And another one. Quote Eliot, after beating up three mooks: "[[Film/DieHard Yippie-ki-yay, motherf-]]" ''[[HardCut "Found it!"]]''
* Parodied by ''Series/{{MADtv}}'' in the [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tokD-C4P3qE PAX TV presentation]] of ''Series/TheSopranos'', alongside EditedForSyndication. At several points, Tony and everyone around him is just saying "fu-", "shi-" or "Why don't you stop breaking mah ba-". Oh, and someone gets wacked.
* ''Series/{{NCIS}}'':

''[Sandra stops the recording]''
* ''Series/RedDwarf''. In "Back in the Red" Lister realizes they're not escaping, but are actually in a virtual reality program that Rimmer is editing to cover up his own guilt -- most noticeably when obvious jump cuts start happening, whereupon Lister says he's going to cut off Rimmer's (jump cut) with a blunt knife!
* One sketch in the Jerry Seinfeld episode of ''Series/SaturdayNightLive'' was more or less ''built'' around this. A man almost forced off the road on a busy highway sees a sticker on the offender's bumper reading ''[[AC:If you don't like my driving dial 1-800-EAT-SHIT]]''; he actually calls the number and finds a ''real call center'', staffed by a single man (played by Seinfeld) who repeatedly brings the conversation around to telling the caller to eat shit. The kicker is that the word "shit" is ''never actually used onscreen''; every time one of the characters is about to say it, it cuts back to the other character reacting. There's al big logo sign on the wall behind Jerry, but the camera never zooms out far enough to show the whole thing; '''''1-800-EAT-S''''' is as far as it gets.
* An instance in the ''Series/{{Scrubs}}'' episode "My Fifteen Seconds" most closely resembles the above ''Film/CharlieAndTheChocolateFactory'' example than anything else. Kelso is temporarily deaf. When Turk informs the rest of the staff of this, everyone in the room immediately starts cheerfully cursing him out. The first to do this is Dr. Cox who says, "Bob, you stupid mother--" and it cuts to Kelso's muted perspective. It's not very hard to read Cox's lips.
* ''Series/{{Sherlock}}'': Subverted repeatedly in the Series 3 premiere "The Empty Hearse", in which a scene of someone (usually Sherlock) beginning to swear is cut off by a cut to a scene of John in his surgery... saying something innocuous that nevertheless completes the curse.
-->'''Mrs Hudson''': ''[regarding Sherlock's reappearance after two years]'' What did [John] say?\\
'''Sherlock''': Fu-\\
''[Cut to John in his surgery]''\\
'''John''': ''[to patient]'' Cough.

* ''Series/WhiteRabbitProject'': Tory was interrupted halfway through cussing during the "Bat Bomb" segment in the "Crazy WW2 Weapons" episode.
* In an episode of ''Series/TheYoungOnes'' ("Sick") during a sort-of parody of ''Series/GrangeHill'', one of the kids says:
-->''Mr. Liberal'': Hang on, you pair of young scruffy tearaways! Don't you realise the way you act is influencing millions of children to talk Cockney and be insubordinate?\\
''Pupil'': Well, come on Sir, don't be silly, we're the only kids in Britain who never say--''[Cut]''
** While the cut happens before he utters the word, it's clear from the movement of his lips that it would've started with F.

* If any Christmas-themed episode (especially in the UK) plays "Fairytale of New York", expect the scene to cut before the infamous "scumbag" verse, and definitely the word "faggot".
** The decision of [[Creator/TheBBC Radio 1]] to censor the song in precisely this way caused a great deal of controversy, and was reversed very quickly.

* In ''VideoGame/HalfLife'', the last of the panicked broadcasts of government troops you can listen to while they retreat is:
-->"Forget about Freeman! We are cutting our losses and pulling out! Anyone left down there now is on his own. Repeat; if you weren't already, you are now fu-(static)"
** Barney in ''VideoGame/HalfLife2'' does this when Gordon Freeman is about to sneak into the Citadel. As soon as he jumps down, Barney says to Freeman "If you see Dr. Breen, tell him I said fu---ou." Most of the profanity is cut out from a large explosion above ground. If you listen closely you can in fact hear him say "fuck you".
* In ''VideoGame/MegaManXCommandMission'', where the fight begins just as the character subverts a HeroicBSOD and [[BerserkButton goes]] [[FreakOut berserk]]. Also a bit of a CrowningMomentOfAwesome:
--> '''Massimo''': ""FEEBLE" Massimo?! You Sonnova-" [battle scene transition]
* ''VideoGame/MassEffect3'': Joker catches [[SirSwearsALot Jack]] censoring herself in front of [[spoiler:her students]], leading to this scene:

It very quickly cuts to a fresh recording take before Claptrap can get (completely) obscene.

** "The Eclipse, Part II":
----> '''Claire''': (on seeing Hiro's comic and how it matches the scene in the past they're watching) "Holy sh--" [to be continued...]
** Amusingly, in several of these cases the next episode's cold open repeats the final scene...except, obviously, the show doesn't end, which leads to unfortunate continuity errors like the scene playing out in the exact same way except for Claire saying "Oh my God" instead.
* The ''Series/{{Blackadder}}'' episode "Beer" ends with everyone very drunk:

* Every episode (at the very least most of them) of ''Series/LabRats'' ends with the words "Oh, for fu--". In fact, it cuts off ''after'' "fuck" rather than in the middle, leaving the full phrase uncompleted but the PrecisionFStrike intact.

* In ''WebVideo/EchoChamber'''s 8th episode, [[OnlySaneMan Dana]] is halfway through calling [[PsychoExGirlfriend Shannon]] a "whore" when the opening titles roll. To be fair, the sound under the zooming titles sounds like it is finishing the word "whore" for her.

* [[spoiler: Cytomander the Swift]] of ''Anime/TengenToppaGurrenLagann'' can only manage an "Oh shi-" before the Dai-Gunzan barrels into him.
* From ''Manga/BlackLagoon'', Fritz Stanford, having just gotten shot by Revy in the middle of ranting about his gigantic HandCannon, manages a "You fucking [[CountryMatters cu--!]]" before Revy steps on his gunshot wound and levels her gun in his face.
