The practice -- usually found on but not limited to comedies -- of placing [[{{Filth}} content inappropriate for the target demographic, such as profanity or sexual content]] past the [[MediaWatchdog network censors]]. Since MostWritersAreAdults, it should come as no surprise that it's a very ''common'' practice. The trope name is a [[{{Bowdlerise}} somewhat milder version]] of comedian RobinWilliams's term for his attempts along these lines while he was on the air in ''MorkAndMindy''; Williams has probably made the greatest (known) effort along these lines in television history, allegedly researching and exhausting [[ForeignCussWord several different languages]] in an attempt to find genuinely dirty words the censors would not recognize, and coming up with sequences that would seem utterly innocent on paper, but which would carry vast quantities of implied prurience -- often hilarious -- when executed.

He was hardly the first, however. Films have flirted with the line for decades, often through the use of DoubleEntendre (as demonstrated, for example, by Lauren Bacall's famous line from ''To Have and Have Not'': "You know how to whistle, don't you, Steve? You just put your lips together and... blow."). And, of course, Mae West pretty much made her career out of finding ways to get her bawdy comedy under the censors of Hollywood back in the 1930s and 1940s.

This is where WesternAnimation ''shines''; there's pages and pages of it, even when you ''don't'' include all the people who are just [[BellisariosMaxim reading too much into things.]]

If it's really blatant and seems to occur in every episode, it's RefugeInAudacity. If an author [[LampshadeHanging makes fun of]] their censors directly, it's ThinkOfTheCensors. CensorDecoy is when creators deliberately put in something objectionable for censors and editors to catch to distract from the stuff they actually want to put in. Some of these can be [[FridgeBrilliance brilliant]], especially if you saw it when you were a kid and [[LateToThePunchline only understood it later]]. If the crap is really hard to find nowadays because of semantic drift, it's GetTheeToANunnery. If the crap wasn't really even crap at all but ''seems'' like it is nowadays because of semantic drift, it's HaveAGayOldTime.

Some specific examples are HideYourLesbians, FrothyMugsOfWater, SomethingElseAlsoRises, HeadTiltinglyKinky, BowelBreakingBricks. Compare {{subtext}}, which may involve this. AdjustableCensorship can be used as a form of this if the censorship can only be disabled by a secret button code that the censors don't know about. This was common back when mature content was much less acceptable in video games. To see what is likely to be censored (and therefore smuggled) depends on the location it was made, for that please see RadarSystems.

'''Anything that makes you go "[[HehHehYouSaidX tee hee hee]]" is not an example of this trope. Some people will find ''anything'' [[FreudWasRight racy]], [[EverythingIsRacist offensive]], [[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything or what have you]]. And if it didn't sound dirty then, put it in HaveAGayOldTime. Also, ToiletHumor does not count as Getting Crap Past the Radar, so please put all pee/poop/fart examples on that page instead.'''

'''Addendum: Not everything remotely obscene said in the media is necessarily an example. If the offending joke/scene is part of the plot or the main focus of the scene, it is probably not a valid use of this trope. And don't add ones for shows that don't really have radars, and hence have nothing to get past (such as ''WesternAnimation/SouthPark'' and ''WesternAnimation/DrawnTogether'').'''

Sometimes you notice something that is so shockingly, inappropriately out of place, you're left wondering "How did they get away with that?" Surely, someone — be it a producer, an oversight board or other RadarSystems — would have said "You've crossed the line!"

Getting Crap Pastthe Radar refers to instances when a writer, artist or other creator sneak something in that that it is shocking not only to the {{Media Watchdog}}s and MoralGuardians, but to everyone else. Often, what makes it shocking is not the specific content, but that it is out of keeping with its context. As such, most examples are found in materials aimed at children. A lewd joke in South Park is to be expected, but not in The Wiggles.

*If there's a  sexual implication to a comment, that's DoubleEntendre. 
*Jokes that go over children's heads go under Parental Bonus. 
* Jokes about literal crap can be found under Toilet Humor. 
* When creators make no attempt to hide the material and basically march back and forth with a large sign that says "Inappropriate material found here!" you have a case of Refuge in Audacity. 
* If the creators include something as a distraction from the potentially objectionable material they actually want to include, that's a Censor Decoy.
