* {{Parodied}} in this ''VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog'' [[https://www.deviantart.com/chaosiiuniverse/art/Parents-meeting-Reunion-de-padres-837981508 fan]][[https://www.deviantart.com/chaosiiuniverse/art/Parents-meeting-Reunion-de-padres-pag-2-837981534 comic]] in which the director pulls Shadow in after school for a "terrible" incident committed by his 5-year old daughter Maria, which turns out to be her saying, "bitches", frustrating Shadow over being pulled in over [[DisproportionateRetribution for something very minor]]. When Shadow is about to teach his daughter Maria the moral, Maria expects the usual moral, and Shadow reveals it to be to [[TheStoolPigeon punish the snitch]] [[SpoofAesop whenever you do something wrong]].

* ''WesternAnimation/CaptainFlamingo'': Parodied in "Ready to Swear", where Tabitha's baby brother Tucker keeps saying swear words and wants Milo and Lisbeth to get him to stop, although the "swears" aren't real swear words, being [[BigStupidDooDooHead childish names like "booger bum" and gibberish words like "kludrumper"]], but are seen as appalling even by adults. There is also one long word Tucker says but it is completely bleeped out, [[TheUnreveal so it's unknown what the word is]], but apparently it's so bad that all the other characters are horrified when they hear it.

Rarely, shows made for adults will also have an episode about swearing. This allows them to use an ''actual'' [[PrecisionFStrike swear word,]] as well as possibly deconstruct or parody the perceived inappropriateness of swearing. It also may revolve around a child learning a bad word, but from the perspective of the older folks of the family, figuring out how they learned the word (often [[NotInFrontOfTheKid confronting the person who said it around them]]). It could also focus on characters trying to swear less, which may involve a SwearJar.

* A minor yet PlayedForDrama one in the seventh chapter of ''Fanfic/TheStoryOfApolloDaphneAndLucaAnItalianTragedy'', where Alberto, in a fit of [[GreenEyedMonster rage and jealousy]] after [[spoiler: having found a love rival in Vincenzo for Luca's affections]], exclaims an [[BrownNote undefined]] swear word in spite of having been warned by [[PapaWolf Massimo]] to never say them for anything in the world, shocking Luca quite a bit.

* In the ''WesternAnimation/{{Duncanville}}'' episode "Duncan's New Word", Duncan says "Fuck you" to Jack after Annie forces him to make Duncan go home early from hanging out with his friends past curfew. The rest of the episode is spent dealing with the aftermath of the situation, with Duncan being lauded for his actions, while Jack is emotionally broken after hearing his son call him the f-word. Eventually it's revealed that Jack was in a similar situation as Duncan when he was his age, and that unlike Duncan, he chickened out from calling his dad such words. The last act is spent with Duncan trying to convince and train Jack to go to him and tell him "F you". Despite chickening out yet again after realizing that his dad has changed and is much nicer than he used to be, [[spoiler: it's revealed that he only becomes nice after taking certain medicine. After it wears off and he becomes his mean self again, Jack says it to him for real, only to be thrown out the window as he and Duncan celebrate their victory.]]

* Subverted in the ''WesternAnimation/MyGymPartnersAMonkey'' episode "The 'A' Word". After getting beaten up by [[TheBully Bull,]] Adam says that Bull "went ape" on him; Jake gets so offended by this phase that Adam spends the rest of the episode trying to apologize. It's implied throughout the episode that "going ape" is a FantasticSlur for primates, but Jake explains at the end of the episode that [[spoiler: "going ape" is a ''compliment'' and Jake was jealous of Bull]].

* ''WesternAnimation/SpongeBobSquarePants'' has the episode "Sailor Mouth" where [=SpongeBob=] and Patrick learn some so-called "sentence enhancers" and get in trouble with Mr. Krabs for using them. However, Mr. Krabs later stubs his toe and says ''[[ThirteenIsUnlucky all thirteen]]'' of the known curse words, so [=SpongeBob=] and Patrick go to tell his mother. These words also each have a [[MemeticMutation memorable]] [[SoundEffectBleep censor bleep]], with the main curse word, Number 11, represented by a [[NarrativeProfanityFilter dolphin's cackle]]. However, at the end, it's implied that the censor noises in question ''are'' the swear words, since Mr. Krabs mistakes a car horn for his mother swearing after she stubs her own foot.

* ''Series/Seinfeld'': One plot revolves around Jerry's sex talk becoming too lewd.
