* In the 2016 Margot Robbie episode, one sketch focuses on a hot woman with a very unappealing husband. The husband's name is Matt [[PrecisionFStrike Shatt]]. They lampshade that surname a lot, so it was intentional, despite the word "shit" not being allowed uncensored on SNL.

* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bPpcfH_HHH8 Schweddy Balls]] even lampshades the trope. Reprised later with Pete Schweddy's other culinary concoction, his hot dogs (weiners).

** Jenny Slate playing a biker chick with her own talk show and peppering everything she says with the F-word substitute, "freakin'". However, after getting an ashtray hurled near her head by her co-host (played by Kristen Wiig), Jenny says, "You know, you stood up for yourself, and I fuckin' love you for that!" Look closely and you can see Jenny's face briefly read, "OhCrap!" just before the camera cuts to Kristen Wiig.

* In an appearance by [[Film/WaynesWorld Wayne and Garth]], where they discuss the 2011 Oscars, they mention Creator/NataliePortman, and Garth says "I could make Creator/{{Mila|Kunis}} [[IncrediblyLamePun out of her]] [[CountryMatters Kunis]]!" Even Wayne was shocked.

* In 1979 Music/DavidBowie was a musical guest on ''SNL'' and performed "Boys Keep Swinging" with his head visible, but his body, through video magic, was replaced by a dancing puppet. NBC [[HideYourGays muted out]] the line "Other boys check you out," but Bowie had the last laugh. At the end of the song, his puppet body poked a blatant phallus out of its pants and pumped it up and down a few times, too quick for censors to do anything about it.

* The "Wrapperville" sketch from the 2013 Christmas episode features Creator/JustinTimberlake [[HeterosexualLifePartners &]] Creator/JimmyFallon, the former dressed as a roll of wrapping paper and the latter dressed as a gift bag. JT mentions one time when he needed a "sack" (i.e., gift bag) for a present for his uncle, a deck of cards, so Jimmy's character "sacked his deck." When asked to repeat it, he does, and adds that Jimmy's character is "a good deck-sacker." The woman they're talking to replies with, "Well, I'm divorced, so I haven't sacked a deck in seven years."

* There was the "Sofa King" commercial from the season 32 episode hosted by Shia [=LaBeouf=] with musical guest AvrilLavigne [[note]] This was the episode that had the "Dear Sister" digital short that not only became a FunnyAneurysmMoment two days later with the Virginia Tech shooting, but became MemeticMutation following the video's deletion from Website/YouTube for copyright reasons[[/note]]. Say it fast.

* The many times "fuck" (and its variants) has accidentally been said on live TV (i.e., the 100th episode where then-cast member Paul Shaffer plays a medieval musician who says "flogging" to mean the actual f-word -- and naturally screws up, Charles Rocket's "I'd like to know who the fuck did it" during the Charlene Tilton episode from season six [[note]]Which cost Charles Rocket his job -- along with everyone else on the show, save for Eddie Murphy and Joe Piscopo. Denny Dillon and Gail Matthius were brought over for Dick Ebersol's first produced episode, but after that, they were fired[[/note]], Norm [=MacDonald=] muttering, "What the fuck was that?" after botching a joke on Weekend Update, and Jenny Slate playing a biker chick with her own talk show and peppering everything she says with the F-word substitute, "freakin'".

* In the 2016 Margot Robbie episode, one sketch focuses on a hot girl with a very unappealing boyfriend. The boyfriend's name is Matt [[PRecisionFStrike Shatt.]] They lampshade that surname a lot, so it was intentional, despite the word "shit" not being allowed uncensored on SNL.

* When Sean William Scott hosted, his opening bit was clips of previous generations of Scotts all being in movies where they used the semen-in-the-beer gag from American Pie. The first was a silent film, where his great-grandfather Reginald William Scott is informed of what he just drank and clearly yells the first three syllables of "MOTHERFUCKER!" before the caption "Darn you!" comes up.

** Later reprised ''again'' by Betty White, with her muffins that, despite their age, were surprisingly moist.

* There was the "Sofa King" commercial from the season 32 episode hosted by Shia[=LaBeouf=] with musical guest AvrilLavigne [[note]] This was the episode that had the "Dear Sister" digital short that not only became a FunnyAneurysmMoment two days later with the Virginia Tech shooting, but became MemeticMutation following the video's deletion from Website/YouTube for copyright reasons[[/note]].

** The NBC censor in the first couple seasons was a very straitlaced person who didn't really get SNL's humor, so it became a game for the writers to see what truly nasty stuff they could slip past her. Occasionally she would play along only to reveal that she knew the real meaning of the terms all along.

* ''Series/SaturdayNightLive'' once featured a sketch with Joe Pesci playing his "Goodfellas" character buying a pinkie ring. He goes to the mirror to try it on and begins miming a conversation which ends as an angry argument full of [[ClusterFBomb F words]]. Today, censors would pixillate his mouth and no one would get the joke.

*** A lot of ''Saturday Night Live'''s humor (for better or worse) is either GettingCrapPastTheRadar or RefugeInAudacity (and sometimes [[VulgarHumor Vulgarity]]).

* The conclusion of one of its Celebrity Jeopardy skits which had Sean Connery's final answer being "Buck Futter". In fact, Connery would often invert this trope with his insistence on reading the genuinely mundane categories as something obscene, such as pronouncing "Therapists" as "The Rapists", "An Album Cover" as "Anal Bum Cover", "The Pen is Mighter" as "The Penis Mightier" and when answering in the category "Foreign Flicks", answers "Ursula Andress, Catherine Deneuve and Liv Ullman". Trebek is confused, but then looks at the category, written in all caps as FOREIGN FLICKS, and says "that's ''flicks'', Mr. Connery, foreign ''flicks''."

* In 1979 Music/DavidBowie was a musical guest on ''SNL'' and performed "Boys Keep Swinging" with his head visible, but his body, through video magic, was replaced by a dancing puppet. NBC [[HideYourGays muted out]] the line "Other boys check you out," but Bowie had the last laugh. At the end of the song, his puppet body poked a blatant phallus out of its pants and pumped it up and down a few times, too quick for censors to do anything about it.

** "The Schwetty Balls" sketch which lampshades the trope? Reprised later with Pete Schwetty's other culinary concoction, his hot dogs... a.k.a. ''wieners''.

** There was also the ''SNL'' skit "Jingleheimer Junction", a parody of children's shows with characters personifying Friendship, Unity, Caring and Kindness. With their initials written on their shirts. They never get into ''that'' order... but come surprisingly close. The best part is the "togetherness song" that's sung toward the end: "You can do it anywhere, in the park or on a chair... in and out, in and out..."

** One [[http://www.hulu.com/watch/4109/saturday-night-live-colonel-angus-comes-home memorable sketch]] featured guest host Christopher Walken as Colonel Angus. Say it out loud.

** The racial slur job interview sketch with Chevy Chase and Richard Pryor from 1975, culminating in:

** One of the Weekend Updates in the first five years was sponsored by "Pussy Whip, the first dessert topping for cats."
** Janet Jackson [[note]] whom ''SNL'' brought on the show in 2004, despite the WardrobeMalfunction fiasco that happened months before[[/note]] visiting a wine bottling plant, where everyone is busy ''soaking corks.'' The entire sketch has every character mentioning this in their lines, ''every single one''.
