Line #33 Radar/MAD


1	[[AC:The [[Magazine/{{MAD}} magazine]]]]
2	* "A Fish Tale", a one-page comic in Issue #145, features a mermaid being caught like a fish... and then cooked like a fish. Said mermaid is drawn with visible nipples, very likely the first time these ever appeared in ''MAD''.
3	* While the words "fuck" and "shit" were almost never printed into the magazine in full (any F-bombs were usually [[SymbolSwearing censored with asterisks or other symbols]]), there are at least two known exceptions:
4	** The cover to [[http://www.madcoversite.com/mad326printid.jpg issue #326]] has the word "fuck" among the graffiti on the wall.
5	** Al Jaffee snuck the word "shit" into the background art of an article entitled "Real Life Superheroes at Comic Book Conventions".
6	** Since the move to Burbank, the PrecisionFStrike has shown up now and then.
7	** These words do get used (openly) in the 1991 retrospective book, ''Completely MAD''.
8	* Creator/SergioAragones drew barely-visible uncensored penises in the graphics accompanying a Frank Jacobs-penned parody of "Music/WeAreTheWorld".
9	* A parody of ''ComicBook/{{Archie\|Comics}}'' has Biddy hurl herself at Starchie. As she does so, several syringes and bottles of pills spill from her handbag, and this was a strip from the fifties!
10	* "Woman Wonder!" saw the titular character change her outfit inside her invisible jet with it implied her boyfriend was watching her. He keeps a horrifically lecherous face through the next few panels.
11	* They've never been afraid of the [[StealthPun Stealth F-bomb]]. For instance, their parody of ''Series/WelcomeBackKotter'' included the exchange
12	--> Minus five percent? How can you get -5% on an exam?\
13	He spelled his '''name''' wrong! That's S-H-'''O'''-T, Horseshot!
14	* Cartoon nudity every so often (including, in the late 90's/early 2000's, a doctor ogling a woman through an X-Ray machine, one where a mother strips her son's room of SlasherFlick posters, to which he responds to by putting up girlie pictures, and another where a woman flashes the bouncer at a club to get herself and boyfriend in. When they did a special on ''Film/TheMatrixReloaded'', the overseer program watches porn on all his TV's when it doesn't have company. In TheNewTens, a mexican lady SkinnyDipping in the Rio Grande to distract the border guards from a pack of illegal immigrants.).
15	* In the parody of "The Goonies," after one girl gets excited about a "huge stud," a guy has to clarify, saying that he's warning her about two giant tentacles, cutting himself off before he gets to what she thought she heard. ([[DontExplainTheJoke Testicles]]).
16	* In one personality quiz about whether you have Type A personality, if you get mostly "yes" answers, it says that there's a word for [[JerkAss the kind of person]] you are, which starts with A and rhymes with "gas hole"..

21	[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Greys_in_Anime_Panty_Shot_Resized_6856.png]]
22	[[caption-width-right:250:If Creator/CartoonNetwork can get away with a panty shot on a kids show, imagine what else they can do...]]
23	* The PantyShot from "Grey's In Anime" (shown on the page). Mind you, this was only the [[EstablishingSeriesMoment third episode of the show.]]
24	** In the original animatic of "Grey's In Anime," the panty shot scene was also supposed to have the monitor read "WTF" ("What the fuck"), but when the episode was actually animated, the screen was left blank. Considering that the upskirt shot remained, could this be a possible case of using a CensorDecoy?
25	* Speak and Swear on "Rejected ''WesternAnimation/ToyStory3'' Characters": "How the [bleep] should I know!?". Granted, it was bleeped out, but it still counts.
26	** In "Class of the Titans", also censored, there's ''five'' F-bombs. Justified in that the name of the character who drops these five F-bombs is [[MeaningfulName Curseus]].
27	** Both episodes originally aired rated TV-PG like every other episode, but sooner or later, they were re-rated TV-PG for obscured offensive language (L).
28	* In "Big Time Rushmore," one of the costume ideas UsefulNotes/GeorgeWashington, UsefulNotes/ThomasJefferson, UsefulNotes/TheodoreRoosevelt, and UsefulNotes/AbrahamLincoln wear to create their boy band image are kinky, S&M-style leather attire. Lincoln is the only one who liked wearing his costume and when the four turn back to normal thanks to their fairy godmother Taylor Swift, Abe is the only one who keeps his costume.
29	* Spider-Baby got away with a strong breastfeeding joke involving Mary Jane coming in to babysit. Getting more specific, the scene has Mary Jane ask Spider-Baby, "Is someone hungry?" in a seductive voice, with the camera visibly zooming on her boobs.
30	* And in "Fantastic Megan Fox" Megan Fox considers targeting Creator/ScarlettJohansson's eyes...just as the camera focused on her breasts.
31	** Also on "The Fantastic Megan Fox," Scarlett Johanssen shrieks, "What the cuss?!" when the literally-depicted Megan Fox steals her eyes. Justified in that in the movie ''The Fantastic Mr. Fox'', they use "cuss" as a substitute for all swear words.
32	* The Latin American Spanish dub of the "[[Series/JerseyShore S']]WesternAnimation/{{Up}}" segment has Carl clearly saying "prostíbulo", meaning '''brothel'''! The fact that this region is otherwise known for constantly getting {{bowdlerize}}d only makes this more questionable...
33	* "The Da Grinchy Code" had Indiana Jones's line, "I'll take this stick here/My Staff of Ra/And shove it on up/Your tiny Who-Kah!" with one of the Whos gulping and turning pale ([[spoiler:The Who-Kah was a Dr. Seussian machine]]).
34	* "Franchise/{{Pokemon}} [[Franchise/JurassicPark Park]]": "Yeah, we got their balls! [[ThatCameOutWrong ...Stop laughing!"]]. The fact that the James parody says it makes it even funnier.
35	* The Juicy, Jr.'s fake commercial has a kid (who ordered the newest sandwich that makes life messy for him -- his shirt gets stained, he gets blamed for keeping his room dirty, and a bully punches the kid after accusing him of calling him a bonehead) end up in jail for a murder he didn't commit. The burger at the end says, [[BlackComedyRape "Fresh meat!"]] and snickers.
36	* In ''[[Franchise/PiratesOfTheCaribbean Pirates of the]] [[WesternAnimation/PeterPan Neverland]]'' they got away with [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X6DcP3K5Zlc&feature=related a message on the back of Hook's ship:]] ''"shi'''p''' happens"''.
37	** Plus, there was a sketch that not only references a certain lesbian-related Music/KatyPerry song, but she kisses the Liberty Bell "on the crack".
38	* [[Series/TheOfficeUS Meredith]] says she's got [[INeedAFreakingDrink just the thing]] for ComicBook/{{Rogue}} in "The Clawfice" after Rogue tries to absorb her persona and becomes depressed.
39	** The segment ends with Wolverine-as-Michael throwing out the oft-used "That's what ''she'' said!" catchphrase--while it doesn't even make sense in the context of the sketch, parents might be uncomfortable explaining what the joke usually means...
40	* Fireworks come out of [[Music/KatyPerry Katy Putty's]] breasts in the "Flammable" sketch, but that also happened in the "Fireworks" music video they parodied.
41	* "Gaming's Next Top Princess" is essentially a beauty pageant which picks out the hottest videogame character ever made, with many female characters who're already [[{{MsFanservice}} heavily sexualized]] in their own games and fan bases. They're even showcased in BoobsAndButtPose stylized character introductions. Particular mention should go to [[Videogame/{{Darkstalkers}} Felicia]] and [[Franchise/TombRaider Lara Croft]], who're both featured in mature games.
42	** Also Birdo, who ''isn't even humanoid'' was a high runner-up. [[{{Squick}} Think about it.]]
43	* In "Total Recall Me Baby", a mash-up of "Total Recall" and Carly Rae Jepsen's "Call Me Maybe", there was an adult joke where they randomly showed a three-breasted old woman, referencing Kaitlyn Leeb's character from the original ''Total Recall'' (the '''''hooker''''' at the futuristic bar).
44	* The random reference to ''Anime/PantyAndStockingWithGarterbelt'' in "Parent Trainer" could count; it's not inappropriate in and of itself, but the anime it's referencing tends to be really, ''really'' vulgar and risque.
