Discussed more in "Does PG mean anything anymore", mostly talking about G rated films like Snow White or The Lion King dealt with harsh topics in a clever way because they had to work around the rating, and they should be appreciated instead of "one edgy joke to make it PG".

AvoidTheDreadedGRating is a trope that is about a piece of media deliberately adding gratuitous objectionable content to get a more restrictive classification to be marketable to an older audience. I noticed a lot of wicks misusing the trope or inverted examples of the trope (which could be in {{Bowdlerise}} or a different trope). There are also wicks that are InUniverse or {{Discussed|Trope}} examples. In my opinion, it would be better if the trope was renamed or moved to the {{Trivia}} tab. I have divided wicks with the correct usage into two folders, one where there are confirmed cases and another where there are speculative cases. If you are curious, if combined, it would be 16/50 wicks with a percentage of 32%.

Although the film has a content descriptor for “strong stylized action,” it is possible that the innuendos were added so that it would be rated PG-13.'''
* WesternAnimation.CloudyWithAChanceOfMeatballs: The sole content descriptor for the film (rated PG) is "brief mild language." "Hellhole," "crabballs" and "crotch kick!" (when [[spoiler:Brent first starts attacking the chickens]]) are probably what qualified the film for the rating. In the UK release, the language is still there, but the film is certified U (The UK equivalent to a G) with the content descriptor reading "Contains one use of mild language and scenes of mild comic threat." '''This usage is correct.'''
* According to WordOfGod, the show was initially scripted as very family-friendly, only for Crunchyroll to demand edits to make it for "mature" audiences, resulting in rather gratuitous violence, swearing, and inappropriate jokes. '''This usage is correct. Although it should’ve been clarified that they did that to make it TV-MA, although it is not as bad to put it in the ZCE section.'''
* FamilyUnfriendlyDeath.LiveActionFilms: Although Uncle Owen and Aunt Beru were killed off-screen, their [[http://blastr.com/2010/09/image-of-the-day-charred.php charred corpses]] were surprisingly graphic; rumour has it that Lucas deliberately included a shot of their burned bodies in order to avoid a G rating, which would have put teenagers off seeing the film. '''This counts although it was almost rated G despite the scene.'''
* ExecutiveMeddling.LiveActionTV: ''SG-1'' also got meddled by Creator/{{Showtime}}. The pilot featured a minute-long shot of full-frontal female nudity that the writers said they were forced to add to mark the series as "adult". The shot remains on the [=DVDs=] of season 1, but was cut from all syndicated airings and from the pilot's '09 {{recut}} as a DVD movie. '''This usage is correct.'''
* DrinkingGame.LupinIII: When watching the Creator/MangaEntertainment dubs of ''The Mystery of Mamo'', ''[[Anime/LupinIIIByeByeLibertyCrisis Bye Bye, Lady Liberty]]'' and ''The Castle of Cagliostro'', take a shot for every obvious instance of fifteening. '''This usage is correct.'''
* Film.{{Madeline}}: The use of the word "damn" a few times in the movie was more or less there to give the movie a PG rating. '''This usage is correct.'''

'''It still counts on this tab since it was attempt to get a higher rating.'''
* Film.TheSandlot: "Shit" is said three times by the kids throughout the movie, although the chewing tobacco scene and the pool scene might also have pushed it past the G rating. '''This usage is correct.'''
* Film.SpaceJam: In one scene, Michael is in his hotel room watching highlights of the NBA stars losing their talent. At one point, a coach says "What the hell's going on!?" Surely enough, the film got a PG rating for "Brief mild language". '''This usage is correct.'''

* Film.Super8: Donny saying "fuck" (amongst other curses from the children) and Nelec's unusually gory death were probably put in to ensure a PG-13 rating. '''This usage is correct.'''
* Fanfic.SuperstarsSpongesCephalapodsAndSquirrels: The story is pretty K, or even K+ (AKA fanfiction.net's rating system) at times since crap is used constantly, but some moments really stick out. For example, Sandy getting a DUI at age 16 (not to mention she smokes), and the death of [[spoiler:Stingrayman Hev]]. '''This usage is correct.'''
* Film.TheAmazingPandaAdventure: The scene with Ryan and Ling have to strip down to remove the leeches, leading to awkward wisecracking about being naked, serves no other apparent narrative purpose than to get the film a PG rating. '''Even though the film wasn’t given a content descriptor for rude or suggestive humor, it probably still counts here because they added it in as an attempt.'''
* Film.Annie1982: On top of the title character being put into a perilous situation, a sequence of animal cruelty and Annie subsequently beating up fellow child urchins in defense of a stray dog, the word "damn" was uttered a few times, earning it a PG. '''Although it is unclear how it got a PG rating because it was before the MPAA started to have content descriptors, it still counts because there is a chance that it was only rated PG because of its language.'''
* Film.TheAvengers1998: Bailey said "Oh FUCK" just before his death to raise the film's rating. The line was clearly [[SameLanguageDub dubbed in]] by someone who isn't Eddie Izzard; his lips don't move, and it sounds nothing like him. '''This wick’s usage here is correct.'''
* Film.BatmanAndRobin: The only reason this movie seems to be rated PG-13 instead of PG is because of Poison Ivy's endless and blatant sexual innuendo. '''This usage is correct. Although the film has a content descriptor for “strong stylized action,” it is possible that the innuendos were added so that it would be rated PG-13.'''
* WesternAnimation.CloudyWithAChanceOfMeatballs: The sole content descriptor for the film (rated PG) is "brief mild language." "Hellhole," "crabballs" and "crotch kick!" (when [[spoiler:Brent first starts attacking the chickens]]) are probably what qualified the film for the rating. In the UK release, the language is still there, but the film is certified U (The UK equivalent to a G) with the content descriptor reading "Contains one use of mild language and scenes of mild comic threat." '''This usage is correct.'''
* According to WordOfGod, the show was initially scripted as very family-friendly, only for Crunchyroll to demand edits to make it for "mature" audiences, resulting in rather gratuitous violence, swearing, and inappropriate jokes. '''This usage is correct. Although it should’ve been clarified that they did that to make it TV-MA, although it is not as bad to put it in the ZCE section.'''
* FamilyUnfriendlyDeath.LiveActionFilms: Although Uncle Owen and Aunt Beru were killed off-screen, their [[http://blastr.com/2010/09/image-of-the-day-charred.php charred corpses]] were surprisingly graphic; rumour has it that Lucas deliberately included a shot of their burned bodies in order to avoid a G rating, which would have put teenagers off seeing the film. '''This counts although it was almost rated G despite the scene.'''
* ExecutiveMeddling.LiveActionTV: ''SG-1'' also got meddled by Creator/{{Showtime}}. The pilot featured a minute-long shot of full-frontal female nudity that the writers said they were forced to add to mark the series as "adult". The shot remains on the [=DVDs=] of season 1, but was cut from all syndicated airings and from the pilot's '09 {{recut}} as a DVD movie. '''This usage is correct.'''
* DrinkingGame.LupinIII: When watching the Creator/MangaEntertainment dubs of ''The Mystery of Mamo'', ''[[Anime/LupinIIIByeByeLibertyCrisis Bye Bye, Lady Liberty]]'' and ''The Castle of Cagliostro'', take a shot for every obvious instance of fifteening. '''This usage is correct.'''
* Film.{{Madeline}}: The use of the word "damn" a few times in the movie was more or less there to give the movie a PG rating. '''This usage is correct.'''
* Recap.SamuraiJackS5E6XCVII: Season 5 has either had TV-14 ratings or TV-PG ratings depending on their content, the higher rating always owing itself to violence. Episode XCVII pulled a TV-14 rating for coarse language, as though the creators of the show were experimenting with its use this one time. In fact, this is the ''only'' episode in the '''entire''' series that uses true profanity and obscenity, seven uses in total: "penis", "hell", "screw off, jerkhead", "damn", "damn it", "S.O.B.", and "badass", in that order. '''It still counts on this tab since it was attempt to get a higher rating.'''
* Film.TheSandlot: "Shit" is said three times by the kids throughout the movie, although the chewing tobacco scene and the pool scene might also have pushed it past the G rating. '''This usage is correct.'''
* Film.SpaceJam: In one scene, Michael is in his hotel room watching highlights of the NBA stars losing their talent. At one point, a coach says "What the hell's going on!?" Surely enough, the film got a PG rating for "Brief mild language". '''This usage is correct.'''
* WesternAnimation.TheSpongeBobMovieSpongeOutOfWater: Some "mild rude humor" such as a scene with a woman in a bikini laying on the beach, [=SpongeBob=] accidentally mooning Patrick, a censored curse word, and some trippy, drug-induced sequences (including a direct [[Film/TwoThousandOneASpaceOdyssey 2001]] reference) seem to have been added for the PG rating.

to:
* WesternAnimation.AdventureTimeFionnaAndCake: ''Adventure Time'' is already known for avoiding this trope since its inception, but ''Fionna and Cake'' pushes it further by introducing graphic violence, swearing, and partial nudity from both Simon and Fionna. '''This trope does not describe examples of works that received a higher rating.'''
* DarkerAndEdgier.AnimatedFilms: ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyTheMovie2017'' is a BigDamnMovie and considerably more dramatic and [[ActionizedSequel actionized]] than [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic the show]] it is based on, as evident from the trailers, which show the characters basically almost dying several times (even though [[SavedByCanon they won't]]) To cement this further, the movie actually received a ''PG'' rating, when most expected a ''G''. Of course, [[SugarBowl it's still]] ''My Little Pony'', so it being "Darker And Edgier" really [[DownplayedTrope doesn't say much]] in the long run. The movie still has all the lighthearted fun one would expect from the show and its characters. It's also notable that it's not really much more intense than some of what goes on during the show's more actionized episodes: the show itself has a tendency to open and end seasons with episodes featuring heavy action and dark subplots, while going with lighter often more SliceOfLife stuff throughout most of the rest of a season.

(End Pull-Ups commercial) AHA AHA AHA! EEEH! [[Franchise/{{Splatoon}} Splatatatatatatata-tatatatatatatata-tatata-ta-ta-ta-tatoooooon]]!" "Rated everyone ten." '''This trope does not describe examples of works that received a higher rating.'''
* Film.DraculaHasRisenFromTheGrave: [[SubvertedTrope Subverted]]. A very rare and confusing example; despite it being an obvious horror movie with two stabbing scenes, several deaths, and quite a lot of blood, Dracula Has Risen From The Grave was actually rated G by the Motion Picture Association of America, the same rating you'd see attached to any Disney film of the time. This error has not been corrected since with even the film's Blu-Ray release retaining the G rating. '''Even though the film would absolutely not receive a G rating today, it still doesn’t fit the definition of the trope since it didn’t add anything objectionable or vise-versa. It would probably fit somewhere like GettingCrapPastTheRadar or something.'''
* DubNameChange.EnglishToForeignAlbanianThroughIndonesian: ''Franchise/StarWars'': Although practically ''every single character'' received a name change in the French versions of the original ''Star Wars'' movies (allegedly due to an insane fixation on the dubbers' part of avoiding LipLock, which also resulted in some rather... odd... dialogue changes including some strong language!), most of these name changes were reverted for the prequels and/or the EU; some were also reversed for the Special Edition. '''This does not fit the definition of the trope because it was not trying to add content to have a different rating.'''
* Analysis.GettingCrapPastTheRadar: TV-PG shows generally allow slightly more innuendo and violence than TV-Y7 shows, and are where the content descriptors D for dialogue, L for language, S for sex, and V for violence start to be used. Casual recreational consumption of alcohol and tobacco (and cannabis in shows from the 2010s and later) sometimes show up in shows with this rating. As AvoidTheDreadedGRating starts to creep into TV-Y7 and more animation starts to be targeted at teenagers and adults, more cartoons, such as Cartoon Network originals ''WesternAnimation/AdventureTime'', ''WesternAnimation/RegularShow'', and ''WesternAnimation/StevenUniverse'' are being rated as TV-PG. Some adult animated series such as ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'' has this rating. But more adult animated series get...

* Film.MyDinnerWithAndre: The movie initially went ''unrated'' in the US because the filmmakers decided not to submit it to the MPAA. It's not a children's film, but there isn't anything unsuitable for kids either. The movie was eventually rated PG, so maybe the distributors were worried that that might mislead audiences expecting more action. '''This trope does not describe examples of works that received a higher rating.'''
* VideoGame.{{Omori}}: A likely unintentional example. The game was originally released on PC without an ESRB rating, but upon getting a console release on the Switch, it was rated M for 17 and up. Though the game's subject matter is rather dark, it's also likely it wouldn't have warranted more than a T rating if not for the single, randomized, instance of the word "fucking"; one of the Humphreys will randomly say "I fucking love air conditioning" rather than their normal line gushing about [=ACs=]. '''This trope does not describe unintentional examples.'''
* WesternAnimation.PawPatrolTheMightyMovie: The movie is rated PG for "mild action and peril" marking the first time EVER that a movie based on a preschool show has gotten that rating. '''This trope does not describe examples of works that received a higher rating.'''
* VideoGame.PetSociety: Subverted. At first many people didn't want to play this game since it looked "too childish". One good look at the cafe though, shows that even grown adults play this game. In fact, there are probably more adults playing this game than teenagers and kids! '''This should be on the YMMV tab instead, also this fits more for AnimationAgeGhetto rather than this trope.'''
* Creator.Pixar: Initially averted; as of their first fourteen films, only [[WesternAnimation/TheIncredibles1 three]] [[WesternAnimation/{{Up}} of]] [[WesternAnimation/{{Brave}} them]] were rated PG. However, as UsefulNotes/TheNewTens progressed, it seems like Pixar now plays this trope straight. The final nail to the G-rated coffin was when ''WesternAnimation/FindingDory'', a sequel to a G-rated film, was granted a PG, despite it being identical to Nemo content-wise. ''WesternAnimation/Cars3'' and ''WesternAnimation/ToyStory4'' averted this, however. '''This trope does not describe examples of works that received a higher rating.'''
* LoopholeAbuse.RealLife: Winnipeg radio station CFEQ, "FREQ 107", was established as a Christian station aimed towards a young audience. However, they attempted to pivot itself from a "pure" Christian contemporary format towards an alternative rock format that could attract more mainstream listeners and advertisers. This meant they needed to work around the CRTC license explicitly requiring that 95% of its weekly programming be "non-classic religious music". They proceeded to be AmbiguouslyChristian, digging up as much ambiguously Christian rock they could find to see if anyone would notice, branded themselves as "Winnipeg's New Rock Alternative", and held a promotional campaign involving billboards reading "What the [[CurseCutShort F---]]" (which eventually filled in the FREQ letters). However, their loophole abuse [[AudienceAlienatingPremise backfired in both directions]]: they were having trouble getting mainstream advertisers because of the stigma of still technically being a Christian station, and they were not getting Christian advertisers because they were being too "liberal" for a Christian station. Based on this, they asked the CRTC to let them reduce their quota of explicitly religious music, but was denied. After being acquired by Golden West (making it a sister station to another Christian station in Winnipeg, CHVN), the station dropped their Not Christian Rock format and returned to their previous format as "Ignite 107". They later switched to a classical music format instead. '''This doesn’t make any sense for this trope, since the stigma of them being a Christian station would fit better on some other trope.'''
* VideoGame.SparkTheElectricJester2: Subverted; the inclusion of strong profanity in the game’s dialogue (courtesy of E.J. and Double, at least in earlier versions) could be seen as an attempt at doing this, as the game contains little objectionable content otherwise. However, [=LakeFeperd=] announced that these instances would be toned down for the final release (albeit to his chagrin). The final game contains no such profanity. '''It doesn’t fit in this trope because the game wasn’t officially rated by the ESRB so it wouldn’t make sense to add in gratuitous language since it is unrated.'''
* PlayingWith.SpiceUpTheSubtitles: In America the visuals made it PG, not so in Germany '''This should be classified as ValuesDissonance instead.'''
* WesternAnimation.SpiderManAcrossTheSpiderVerse: WhatDoYouMeanItsForKids: The movie's only rated PG, but definitely leans into a "hard" PG (in contrast to a lot of the Avoid The Dreaded G Rating animated fare), even moreso than its predecessor. In addition to as much swearing as PG can allow (with plenty of uses of "ass" and "hell"), there's all the eldritch horror surrounding the Spot's descent into villainy, the whole discussion of how every [[spoiler:Spider-Person must face some kind of major personal tragedy that cannot be averted]] with Miles' very understandable shock and existential dread over the fact as [[spoiler:his own father is up next]], and the dark [[spoiler:AlternateUniverse where Miles himself has descended into villainy]]. There's also Miguel's whole backstory, in which we get to see [[spoiler:[[DeathOfAChild his own alternate daughter]] (and the rest of that universe) get erased from existence on-screen!]]. '''This trope does not describe examples of works that received a higher rating.'''
* Film.StarTrekTheMotionPicture: The original version was rated G (and regraded to "Not Rated" on packaging of the recent DVD/Blu-Ray release), even with one truly frightening moment and frank sexual discussion. The Director's Cut was re-rated PG because the sound mixing was more "intense" and "menacing". '''This counts more as SameContentDifferentRating than anything.'''
* Film.TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles2014: Raph’s handful of swear words in a Creator/{{Nickelodeon}} film. Ralph complains to his brothers in pain during the battle against The Shredder Raphael: “We're gettin' our asses kicked out there” When Mikey thinks Leonardo, April and Vern are dead, there's this exchange from Raphael. Raphael: ''(sliding by Michelangelo)'' “They ain't dead, numb-nuts!” '''These fit more for PrecisionFStrike rather than this trope. Although it could fit more for ZCE, I feel that it fits better here.'''
* Series.Titans2018: Granted, this show was always intended to be TV-MA, but the infamous "fuck Batman" line seems specifically chosen to rid unsuspecting parents of any illusion that [[WhatDoYouMeanItsNotForKids this show was meant for kids]] like previous ''Teen Titans'' media. '''This trope should be be PrecisionFStrike instead for the wick.'''
* DisneyAnimatedCanon.TropesIToP: ''WesternAnimation/AtlantisTheLostEmpire'' is an {{action|Genre}} SciFi epic, and the second film after ''WesternAnimation/TheBlackCauldron'' to be rated PG (this being before Disney started to Avoid The Dreaded G Rating). '''This trope does not describe examples of works that received a higher rating.'''

No blood is shown, and the shuriken dissolves upon impact ''because'' her powers are so weak by that point, but this is PlayedForDrama for all it's worth, and it's ''very'' intense, not to mention one of the most violent scenes in the entire film. While not nearly as violent, the Cures' initial scuffle with Kamryou's "Clayface" Dogou is certainly a bit bloodier; when Cure Draco's mist barrier is shattered by a burst of wind from the Dogou, all three Cures are actually bleeding in some areas as a direct result (the source material merely makes reference to "damaging water").

AvoidTheDreadedGRating is a trope that is about a piece of media adding gratuitous objectionable content to get a higher rating to be marketable to an older audience. I noticed a lot of wicks misusing the trope or inverted examples of the trope (which could be in {{Bowdlerise}} or its own separate trope). I also categorized wicks that could be categorized as SpiceUpTheSubtitles in “misuse.” There are also wicks that are InUniverse or {{Discussed|Trope}} examples.
