1 | '''Basic Trope''': Content which is not appropriate for a work's age rating makes it in anyway. |
2 | * '''Straight''': The ratings board gives ''The Adventures of Bob'' a G rating despite a couple of allusions to sex. |
3 | * '''Exaggerated''': RefugeInAudacity. |
4 | * '''Downplayed''': The ratings board gives ''The Adventures of Bob'' a rating commensurate with its content. However, the show has some veiled references to things the censors don't care about, but the {{executive| veto}}s always order cut because it offends the {{moral guardians}}. |
5 | * '''Justified''': |
6 | ** Bob is being subtle about innuendo because of in-universe censorship. |
7 | ** The show airs on a channel whose censorship standards are notoriously flimsy or non-existent (e.g., NBC, Creator/CartoonNetwork, Nickelodeon, FOX, Teletoon, Creator/ComedyCentral, etc.). |
8 | * '''Inverted''': ''The Adventures of Bob'' is an allegedly adult show with little to no risque content. |
9 | * '''Subverted''': ExecutiveMeddling in the form of catching the raunchy jokes before they go on air. |
10 | * '''Double Subverted''': The censored joke is [[CensorDecoy replaced by another inappropriate joke that doesn't get caught]]. |
11 | * '''Parodied''': ''The Adventures of Bob'' features an episode where [[HypocriticalHumor Bob starts an anti-indecency brigade against a kids' show that's notorious for its racy content]]. |
12 | * '''Zig-Zagged''': ??? |
13 | * '''Averted''': |
14 | ** The show's content is actually age-appropriate. |
15 | ** None of the writers try to go too far with risque content. |
16 | * '''Enforced''': See Justified point 2. |
17 | * '''Lampshaded''': "It's a good thing the network censors don't care what we say or do -- within reason. Any other channel would have canceled us by now." |
18 | * '''Invoked''': |
19 | ** The creators of ''The Adventures of Bob'' believe in DefyingTheCensors and use many tricks to get the producers to let risque content through. |
20 | ** The producers want ''The Adventures of Bob'' to have a PeripheryDemographic (read: appeal to older viewers as well as younger ones), and they find that the best way to do this is to use this trope. |
21 | * '''Exploited''': [[NoFourthWall What? The censors are asleep?]] ''[[BigYes Oh, hell yes!]]'' |
22 | * '''Defied''': See Subverted. |
23 | * '''Discussed''': "Why does every cartoon these days feel the need to push the envelope? Not every cartoon needs to be like ''WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy''. Then again, if it weren't for overgrown cartoon fans and stoners, this show wouldn't have a fanbase at all." |
24 | * '''Conversed''': "Wow. The things they're getting away with on kids' shows these days. I counted ten sex jokes, five counts of HoYay, a FamilyUnfriendlyDeath, a possible reference to marijuana smoking, and [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking a joke about dogs using trees as bathrooms]]." |
