Cluster Bleep-Bomb

Watch your language, big guy!

"I'm a black Scottish cyclops! They got more f[bleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep] than they got the likes of me!" ^ExplanationThe censored line was "feckin' sea monsters in the Great Loch Ness"

— The Demoman, Team Fortress 2

This is when a character launches into a profane tirade for several seconds, which is bleeped out for comedic effect. It's sort of the intersection between The Aristocrats and a Noodle Incident: the humor comes from how incredibly long-winded and offensive the dialog was, but we're left with only other characters' reactions to inform us about what was actually said. Sometimes intercut with odd words that aren't rude in themselves, but make one wonder in what possible context they would make sense. Likewise, if it goes on for especially long with no unobjectionable words mixed in, you have to wonder how it's possible to construct a coherent and relevant statement out of pure swearing.

If the actors are visibly speaking their lines with just the sound bleeped out, this can be a sort of Bilingual Bonus for anyone who can lip-read.

A Sub-Trope of Censored for Comedy and Cluster F-Bomb. Often invokes Nothing Is Funnier, leaving the listener to wonder what is being said. May be invoked by Jackhammered Conversation. Compare Lost in Transmission. For the visual version, see Symbol Swearing. A character for whom this is characteristic behavior may be a Sir Swears-a-Lot. If a child were to do this, then it’s usually Innocent Swearing.

• This can happen unintentionally when a particularly profane movie is Edited for Syndication. Some cable broadcasts of Pulp Fiction, for example, will blank out the individual words. In one scene, the F's are flying so fast that all the sound simply blanks out, as if the censor had just given up in exasperation.
• Similarly, cable showings of Blazing Saddles can suffer from this. It's practically a silent movie.
• The TV edit of Office Space should have really replaced certain songs on the soundtrack altogether, because they are so heavily edited for content that they sound like a string of backward sound clips, punctuated with the occasional word here and there. There's really no hope for fluidity when the chorus of a song in a scene with no dialogue is "Die, motherfucker, die!"
• Occurs in-universe in Happy Gilmore as Happy's Cluster F-Bomb is broadcast on TV. During a conversation between Virginia and a tour higher-up, Happy is cursing up a storm on the TV playing in the background. He has one earlier after missing the swing on the opening drive.
• Wayne's World combines this with Sound-Effect Bleep.
  Garth: You know what you can do with your show? You can take a- [The loud whine of a nearby landing airplane drowns out Garth's voice.

• The DVD for Snatch. had an Easter Egg which asked "Are you easily offended?". If "No" was chosen, came this Fully Automatic Clip Show of "the best swearing and gunfire in British cinema". If "Yes" was picked, it's a bleeped version of the video.
• In Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, after Mike Teavee announces his disgust of chocolate, Grandpa George flies into a (supposedly, if the family's reaction is anything to go by) foul-mouthed tirade. Mr. Bucket quickly cups his hands over Charlie's ears so he can't hear the profanity being spewed forth, and all Charlie and the audience hears is Grandpa George's muffled voice.
• In Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me, Dr. Evil and his son Scott appear on an episode of The Jerry Springer Show with other guests who want to take over the world. A fight breaks out on stage with much bleeping on the live video feed, most of it coming from Dr. Evil.
• In the opening scene of Detention, when the Alpha Bitch Taylor Fisher sees that her little brother is using the bathroom, she unleashes a tirade that's comprised of three seconds of bleeped-out words before ending with "fucking ecstasy baby!" Given that her F-bomb went uncensored, one can only imagine what the bleeped-out insults were.

"Most of", because while Papa Bear is stunned at first, he's also impressed.
  Papa Bear: I like the cut of his jib.

• The ½ Prince novels sometimes have "XXX" bombs, the most spectacular of which appears when the protagonist critiques an antagonist's method of killing, describing what he should do if he really wants to horrify people. (From what can be deciphered, it would begin with ripping out her intestines and stuffing them in her mouth.)
• Discworld:
  • Mort: "(BLEEP) me! A (BLEEP)ing wizard! I hate (BLEEP)ing wizards!" proclaims a character in the book, "effortlessly pronouncing a row of dashes". Obviously, the response is, "well, you shouldn't (BLEEP) them, then."
  • The Truth features a thug who liberally peppers his speech with "-ing". It's stated several times that this isn't censorship, however, and he is actually just saying "-Ing" for some reason^note When Sachrissa Cripslock adopts this neologism in a stressful moment, she omits the dash, simply saying "ing" repeatedly, but enjoying it enormously. It's implied that he really wants to swear, but has a mental block because of a very strict upbringing.

  Woman: You're beep right! My beep son's first wife's cousin's boy is a fireman. The way that poor beep has to work – it's a beep shame. Let the beep city beep beep beep.
• This was sometimes done in 19th-century novels as well. Perhaps in response to this, Patrick O'Brian also blanked out some of the swear words in his Aubrey-Maturin series, resulting in one humorous scene where Diana introduces herself by yelling at her horse, "Get over, you —," which intrigues Jack, who had never heard a woman say "—" before.
• Though it hasn't been published, the whatever that is Mundementia One briefly features a Censorship Device that cloaks the characters' profanities from everyone, including onlooking hostile supernatural beings that are strengthened by such things. It is immediately dropped and becomes miscalibrated, censoring words some distance after curses.
• In L. Ron Hubbard's Mission Earth, all profanity is replaced by the word bleep, explained in-story as being translated from an alien language to English by a robot which was programmed as unable to curse.

• Arrested Development:
  • Used twice in rapid succession by Buster in "Bring Up Buster"; once when trash-talking Michael before a bike ride ("Well let's hope it doesn't come to that"), and when dissing his own mother ("I don't think anybody's going to top that").
  • Also used during Gob's sexual-harassment speech before the office Christmas party. Nobody does anything even slightly untoward afterwards.
    "And please refrain from discussing or engaging in any sort of inter-office [bleep]ing or [bleep]ing or finger-[bleep] or [bleep]sting or [bleep]ing or even [bleep], even though so many people in this office are begging for it. And if anyone does anything with my sister Lindsey, I'll take off my pants, I'll shave [bleep], and I'll personally [bleeeeeeeeeeeeeep]."
  • Used again by Nellie, the prostitute Michael mistakenly hires to work at the Bluth Company, when she tells her fellow employees what she is and is not willing to do. It sounds a lot like Gob's speech.

• When Tom Green appeared on Late Night With Conan O'Brien, he did this as an impression of Morse Code.
• The Middleman is loaded with allusions and tropes from The Silver Age of Comic Books, where cursing is rendered as Symbol Swearing. Thus, the tv series has a lot of fun with the Sound-Effect Bleep + Censor Box over the mouth. Generally mild swears (and stealthy euphemisms) get a pass, and the bleep is used on a Rule of Funny basis.
• This occurs in the legendary Intervention episode involving Linda, the Fentanyl addict.
• Happens in an episode of The IT Crowd when Jen, having spent much of the episode in pain due to a poor choice in shoes, finally lashes out at a Japanese investor who just stepped on her foot. It turns out that the censorship was entirely diegetic, allowing for Denholm to tell Jen that she fucked up.
• In one episode of Sabrina the Teenage Witch, Sabrina, her aunts, Mr. Kraft, and Mr. Kraft's ex-girlfriend all end up on Jerry Springer. During this, Aunt Hilda gives the ex a piece of her mind.

• Mythbusters: This series has encountered this trope quite often.
  • The crew have fun with this one when testing whether swearing helps in enduring pain. They use the bleeps to spell out messages in Morse code.
  • In one episode, Adam experiences a sudden stinging pain and utters the famous line "Bleeping bleepity bleep that hurt!"
• The audience on Maury can be just as rowdy as the guests, and thus just as likely to drop an F-bomb. This means that, if you haven't picked up on this yet, watching an episode of the show can be disorienting, since random bleeps will show up out of nowhere while the guests are perfectly calm.
• Don't Trust the B---- in Apartment 23 has a version using Pixellation instead of a bleep, as Chloe and Vincent mouth insults to one another. (Chloe's seems to be a whole sentence.)
• On the British comedy Chef! (1993), the titular character has agreed to the filming of a documentary in his kitchen. When Everton loses several crayfish, Chef Gareth Blackstock goes on a profanity laced tirade that the producer said might not have a time slot late enough to air. Sous chef Lucinda read a review of the documentary aloud.
  Lucinda: "A special BAFTA award for swearing in a documentary should be minted at once!"
• Southland has this a few times throughout, due to the show having several bleeped f-bombs per episode. One of the most notable examples being the episode where Sammy confronts gang member Strokeface and the two of them go on an f-bomb tirade with each other.
• In the Xena: Warrior Princess episode "You Are There", a modern day reporter and his crew inexplicably show up and start interviewing everyone. When he gets to Xena's daughter Eve, Eve eventually loses her temper, beats him up, and cusses him out in bleeps.
• Gareth drops one in Galavant as a knock-knock joke.
  • A deleted song, aptly titled "Your Mother Is a Whore", features a number of censor bleeps in place of sexual innuendo, the longest being two, the first six seconds, the second four.
• Bad Judge: Judge Rebecca Wright gives one cursing out a player at a hockey game.
• The QI episode 'Ladies and Gents' has a question about Anglo-Saxon swearwords^note  In case you're wondering, many English language swearwords are from Anglo-Saxon, but we don't know any actual swearwords that the Anglo-Saxons themselves used. What we know of that time period was written down by holy men of the time, who generally weren't inclined to swearing.. Sue Perkins drops one swearword, bleeped because this is the BBC, and gets a klaxon that covers all bases. Sue decides 'In for a penny' and drops about six more, all bleeped, all klaxoned. She ends with the unbleeped, unklaxoned 'knob-gobbler'.
• In an episode of Dance Moms, Christi tells Abby, "You don't need to know my [bleep] attorney's name." Abby's jaw drops at her use of profanity and Christi does it some more by leaning forward and repeating the F word several times in rapid succession underneath a long bleep with her mouth blurred out. Later, during a rehearsal, Abby is yelling at the girls for nearly every little thing and tells them, "You can all thank Christi for my mood. She stood at my front desk and yelled the F word. Seventeen times. That's sickening!" She then makes a rule that the next mom who says the word in front of her will have their daughter pulled from performing in the upcoming competition. In the dressing room before the competition, Leslie lets loose a Precision F-Strike at Abby twice and her daughter Payton's solo is promptly canceled.

• MADtv (1995):
  • There's a spoof where an episode of The Sopranos is shown on a regular network with all the profanity and other risque material rather conspicuously edited out. At one point there's 20 seconds of uninterrupted profanity between the mobsters, all bleeped out.
  • A sketch parodying an encounter with a FOX censor rapidly disintegrates into this, first by bleeping the word "bitch" due to "word tonnage." The FOX censor then tells the sketch writers the phrase "French braid" refers to a bizarre sex act:
    FOX Censor: Everyone knows that a French braid is when a woman puts another woman on a reclining chair then lifts her *BLEEP* up over her *BLEEP*, fills her *BLEEP* with Grey Poupon and cocktail wieners, then buries her *BLEEP* up to the *BLEEP*, in *BLEEP* until it’s clean, all the while *BLEEP*.
    Comic 1: What're you talking about?
    Comic 2: The fact that you even know that is troubling to me.

    Comic 1: I'm gonna give my girlfriend a French braid.
• Tensions between employees, restaurant owners, and those trying to help them can rise drastically on "Save my failing restaurant" type of shows such as Kitchen Nightmares, Restaurant: Impossible and Mystery Diners, often resulting in this trope. One notable example from Kitchen Nightmares was from the infamous "Amy's Baking Company" episode when one of the owners of said restaurant got in a fight with a customer who had been waiting more than an hour for a pizza.

• Five Iron Frenzy's "These Are Not My Pants (Part 8)" starts off bleeping out random words. Then the bleeps get more frequent until there's more bleeps than audible words at the end.
• Played With in the song "Mutha'uckas" by Flight of the Conchords, but with parts of the swear words simply left out by the singers instead of bleeped. Some of the curses are obvious (like "mutha'uckas") but as the song goes on and the frequency of swear words increases, it increasingly becomes harder to understand. Bret's second verse, in particular, devolves into nothing but an awkward string of pauses and consonants.
• From the censored version of Eminem's "The Real Slim Shady": "Will Smith don't gotta cuss in his raps to sell records. Well, I do, so [bleep] him and [bleep] you, too."
• The radio edit of Eamon's song "I Don't Want You Back" edits out all of the swears, which is like half the song, rendering the chorus nigh-incomprehensible.
• "I Bet You They Won't Play this Song on the Radio", from Monty Python's Contractual Obligation album.
• Marilyn Manson's "Blank and White" contains the line "shoot up the mall, the school <BLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP>". This line is bleeped out even on the "unedited" version; the censored words (which can be heard here at about 3:34) are "or the President of whatever".
• Spoken word comedy sketches that effect this include Jim Backus' Dirty Old Man and Hudson & Landry's Obscene Phone Bust.
• Allmusic's review of Limp Bizkit's Chocolate Starfish and the Hot Dog Flavored Water notes that it "was also released in a 'clean' version containing no profanities. This basically guts the record, especially "Hot Dog" where "f*cking up" is used upward of 50 times".
• Pinnochio P's song Kusare-gedou and Chocolate has so many words bleeped out during the bridge that they run together and form the melody.
• SiIvaGunner's high-quality rip of "Eternal Rest" is mashed up with Gangsta Rap's "Nigga Nigga Nigga", except every single instance of the N-word is bleeped out. Except for a few uncensored swear words at the beginning, that means pretty much the entire song is made up of censor bleeps.
• The clean versions of "Hollaback Girl" by Gwen Stefani, which contains 38 uses of the word "shit", mainly from the repeated line "Ooh-ooh, this my shit, this my shit". There are two clean versions of the song: one which partially censors the word to just "sh..." (also used for the music video) and a radio edit that censors the words entirely by replacing them with whistles, grunts, or other vocalizations.
• Frank Zander's "oh susi (der zensierte song)" plays with this. In the single/radio version, you hear what feels like every one out of five words having been censored out of the song which thereby sounds pretty naughty, namely as if it's a very explicit retelling of how a guy meets a girl at a club and gets her pregnant. The extended version reveals two things. One, the record company told the singer, played by Frank Zander, that his song is too dirty and has to be censored. Two, as the song is being repeated without the bleeping, it turns out it actually means something entirely different that isn't even really dirty.

• Both times Ring of Honor got a television deal they tried to take on a more family friendly approach and both times they ended up having to censor much of Jay Briscoe's promos. It wouldn't have worked anyway, as censoring the crowds would be impractical on their budget.

• The "Censored Songs" round in I'm Sorry I Haven't a Clue (in which innocuous words are bleeped to make a perfectly normal song sound absolutely filthy) sometimes becomes this. In particular, their version of "My Favourite Things" bleeped almost the entire verse, with the words only coming in with "(BLEEP) (BLEEP), tied up with string..."

• Team Fortress 2:
  • The Meet the Demoman animated short. At one point the title character goes on a 3 second long swearing jag, all of which is bleeped out. The short’s files were later released for Source Filmmaker, revealing what the Demoman actually said was: “They’ve got more fucking sea monsters in the great Lochett Ness than they got the likes of me.”
  • In the Blood in the Water comic, Zhanna curses out the Spy when ordered to "be racist!" Of the fourteen words she shouts at him, the only ones not blacked out are "you" and "the".
• Sam and Max Beyond Time and Space featured Tiny Timmy, a rat afflicted with Hollywood Tourette's who spoke with every other word bleeped out. In the final episode of the season, Sam and Max switch a bowdlerizer's list of naughty words with a shopping list so that they can get a vital clue out of Tiny Timmy...and discover that his "swearing" is all of the Gosh Dang It to Heck! variety.
• At one point in Killer7, Suzie goes off on a tangent about what she did to some men who made fun of her name, and parts of it get censored out. This is funny for three separate reasons: in the English version, Suzie (like all ghosts) is The Unintelligible; in the Japanese version, her speech is so full of Gratuitous English that it makes no sense anyway; and the game doesn't censor profanity anywhere else!
• Mr. Torgue in Borderlands 2 had his voice box censored by his own company.
  "LOTTA PEOPLE BEEN ASKING WHY MY VOICE BEEPS ALL THE F*CKING TIME. THE TORGUE SHAREHOLDERS WIRED MY VOICEBOX WITH A DIGITAL CENSOR SO I CAN'T SAY STUFF LIKE SH*T, C*CK, P*SSY-F*CKIN' D*CKBALLS. THAT'S LIKE HALF MY F*CKING VOCABULARY! IT'S GODDAMN BULLSH*T!"

• A memorable example happens during Rachel's gag reel in Blazblue Continuum Shift, during which Kokonoe expresses the fantasies she intended to live out with an unconscious Ragna, with all the naughty bits censored by Ragna's special attacks.
  Kokonoe: Ah yes, well, no reason not to tell you. First, I intended to take his [INFERNO DIVIDER!] and put it in a [CARNAGE SCISSORS!] Maybe a little [GAUNTLET HADES!] too? Heh, my goodness, I can only imagine what his [HELL'S FANG!] will [DEAD SPIKE!]

• Helluva Boss: In the pilot, Prince Stolas ends up going into a bit of a horny rant that the cartoon thankfully censors, while on the phone with a less-than-appreciative Blitzo. It becomes a Running Gag that Stolas, the most regal of a cast who regularly swears, is also the only one that consistently says stuff bad enough to actually bleep.
  Stolas: When I'm lonely, I become hungry. And when I become hungry, I want to choke on that red [bleep] of yours. [bleep] your [bleep] and lick off all your [bleeeep] before TAKING OUT YOUR [bleep] AND [bleep] WITH MORE TEETH UNTIL YOU'RE SCREAMING [bleeeeeeeeeeep] LIKE A FUCKING BAB-!

• If the Emperor Had a Text-to-Speech Device: During the first Podcast episode, the Emperor and his broadcast partners find out the vox equipment they're using has a censor on words the Ecclesiarchy finds objectionable (such as Horus, Chaos and general profanities), which happens to sound like a truck horn. While the Emperor often triggers it later, his initial reaction is to launch into a blistering rant, even more profane than usual, that almost leaves everyone in the Palace deaf from sheer amount of horn blasts.

  Caine: Now, now, now, my dear, we can't have any of that foul language around here. The Amazing Digital Circus is a place to be enjoyed by all ages. You, my friend, stumbled into an incredible world of wonders where anything can happen! Except for swearing.

• In Bob and George the author will frequently pixelate curses, or hide them behind a black bar. Then you have Ran on this page. There's a Running Gag that every year on December 1st, a character drops an uncensored Precision F-Strike. This year the author picked Ran, and due to Ran having recently suffered a fair amount of abuse, he decided to have Ran go on a whole rant. But Ran isn't his character, so he checked with Ran's creator, who said that he didn't like the idea of Ran swearing. So he censored the offending words... and then a whole lot more, for kicks.
• In Gene Catlow, swear-words are replaced by black bars. At one point, a human lets loose with a rant that's almost entirely blacked out, causing the main characters to comment on "That odd human fascination with excrements..."
• Yuck Heads had this strip.
• In Skin Horse, cyborg helicopter Nick has a filter that replaces curses with other random words (shown in a different, slightly bolder font). This culminates in:

    Winston: Sir, I'd say you're a huge [bleep], a degenerate and lecherous son of a [bleep], an [bleep]-hole and also a [bleep], and to conclude an absolute [bleep].^note According to the words' length and small uncensored bits, the bleeped out parts are, in this order "jerkass", "son of a bitch", "asshole", "moron", "absolute imbecile" (in French, "le roi des cons", literally "the king of the dumb ones")
    Laurent Croft: Thanks, Winston.
    Winston: You welcome, [bleep]!
  • Also happens in the video "Le SAV d'Internet", where Fred is complaining to YouTube that he can't swear anymore without being demonetized, and Cyprien has to repeatedly hit the bleeping button to cover his profanities-laden rant.
• Geography Now: In the Flag/Fan Day episode for Turkmenistan, Barby is aware that the sub-series gets the least amount of views on the channel, so he rapidly swears (albeit censored) because he thinks he can get away with it.
• Honest Trailers: Since The Wolf of Wall Street has an average of 3.6 f-words per minute, its trailer has to bleep them out of nearly every clip. Then the Narrator joins in as well and punctuates every sentence with "fucking".

• This video from comedian Elliot Chang: "Worst Way to Meet Your Female Boss."
• On YouTube, a popular means of editing works to sound vulgar is to bleep out random words to make it sound like the characters are swearing, which often gives off a Cluster F-Bomb feel without having to go to the extra effort of trying to find things that sound directly like swearing.

  • Kenny often swears in frustration (the 'F' word is particularly common), and is the one most likely to describe lewd behaviour graphically, but everything he says is muffled by his hoodie. Ironically, when he's cursing he is actually clearer than when he's just having a normal conversation, and the close listener will be able to get the gist of what he's describing or the words he's using.
  • Towards the end of the 201st episode, "201", three speeches by Kyle, Jesus and Santa Claus are censored in their entirety. While it seems like a gag, the bleeps were actually placed there by Comedy Central due to fear of repercussion from terrorist groups who had threatened the show's staff over depicting Mohammed in the previous episode. Unlike nearly every other episode of the show, it remains censored on the DVD release, and has not been released on streaming. The uncensored speech, about the power of violence and fear, was leaked in 2014.
• The Critic has a few examples.

    Madonna: Yeah, and I also (bleep) and (bleep) with it!
• Tiny Toon Adventures had the appropriately named Fowlmouth who casually swore constantly, usually to the deleterious effect of those around him (such as making a trio of toddlers in the background burst out crying.) Once, Buster was trying to help him get over it so he could entice Shirley on a date, ending up using a contraption so torturous that the background music was barely audible through the beeping. Fowlmouth cursed it to death. Though at the end of the episode, Buster swore (apparently; debate rages on what "Well what do you *BLEEP*" could be) and he was subjected to the same treatment... With the same amount of swearing in response.
• Total Drama:
  • In the original version of "That's Off the Chain", Lindsay goes off on Heather with a long series of bleeps when she discovers that Heather never was her friend, has been using her all this time, and now is throwing her away. In the American version, the bleeps are replaced with childish swearing.
  • In the original version of "Trial by Tri-Armed Triathlon", Owen snaps at Heather after a day of lousy teamwork and especially her insults towards Izzy. About half of his insult is bleep-censored, though in the American version the bleeps are replaced with childish swearing.
  • A fan of DJ's tries to cook a meal in his honor in "Aftermath II: Forgive and for Gwen", but becomes frustrated when he can't figure out the secret ingredient. He goes on a tirade on TV that mostly gets bleeped out.
  • As reported on in "Celebrity Manhunt's TDA Reunion Show", Izzy's acting career takes a nosedive when she goes ballistic against her filming crew. Her tirade is all on tape, but only gets run in the bleep-heavy censored version.
  • Alejandro curses in Spanish and in bleeps after learning that his team's going to consist of Tyler, Owen, and Noah in "Walk Like An Egyptian, Part 1".
  • One of the possible Duncan sighting videos in "Aftermath I: Bridgette Over Troubled Waters" shows a figure falling down a cliff, bleep-cursing all the way down. Geoff comments that the footage isn't of much use to the audience because the show had to censor everything the figure uttered.
• In the Johnny Test revival episode "Johnny Test, 90210", Johnny messing with his sisters' teleporter warps reality and fuses their hometown with different locations. When he turns it into a New York hybrid, everyone he knows gets infected with Brooklyn Rage with his dad dropping one of these on him that's censored by the heavy traffic.
• During the Aqua Teen Hunger Force episode "Gee Whiz", a pregnant Meatwad, suffering from mood swings, tears into Frylock and Master Shake. The sound-effect bleeps used to cover his cursing get more and more ridiculous with every word out of his mouth.
  Meatwad: Whoa... boy I apologize. My hormones are going nuts! Now please... if you would... Get the (elephant trumpeting) out of my way. I mean how many times do I have to gotta (fire alarm) write "ice cream" on this (rubber ducky squeak) list before someone gets his (horse neigh) in gear and brings home some (owl hoot) ice cream?

• A variation is done in the Big City Greens episode "Bleeped"; Cricket learns a cuss word from Gramma and becomes so amused by such he passes it on to his friends, prompting everyone but Tilly to repeat the cuss nonstop. In a variation, they use made-up swears such as "blort" (the word Cricket learns) instead of bleeping them out, yet they still treat it like such anyway.
• SpongeBob SquarePants:
  • "Krusty Love" has Spongebob being ordered around by Mr. Krabs to buy expensive gifts for Mrs. Puff only to be berated for spending all of Mr. Krabs' money. After receiving far too much of the abuse for the entire episode, Spongebob goes on a massive tirade in which the only intelligible words are "Mr. Krabs!", "Wallet!", "Spend!" and "Mr. Krabs' WALLET!" In a variation, the rant is gibberish rather than bleeped out, but the effect is the same, as Mrs. Puff's blushing reaction indicates.
    • Played entirely straight in the Dutch dub, where actual censor bleeps are used instead of gibberish.
  • The episode "Sailor Mouth" is a variation on this. SpongeBob and Patrick learn some "sentence enhancers", and put them into every sentence they can think of (but they're all censored with dolphin sounds, foghorns, and other sea-related sounds). Then Mr. Krabs does this with all "thirteen" dirty words he'd mentioned (anyone not a sailor would only know "seven", according to him). His mother appeared to have done this as well, but the beeps turn out to be "Old Man Jenkins in his jalopy". The full curse bundle from Mr. Krabs goes thusly:
    "Ohh, my *dolpin chatter* foot! What *dolphin chatter* genius put a *dolphin chatter* rock in a *dolphin chatter* path?! Can't ya see I gotta *horn* foot here?! Ohh, *seal bark*! Ah, *two horn honks*, *seagull call*, *horn honk*, and a whole lotta *foghorn* with a side of *dolphin chatter* and a heapin' helping of *bell and horn*, and a boatload of *long foghorn*! Ahh, *two seal barks and seagull caw* grabbin' *foghorn*!"
• The Powerpuff Girls (1998) episode "Curses" was almost an exact copy of the "Sailor Mouth" episode above, with the titular girls constantly using a curse word after hearing Professor Utonium say it; it even uses sound effects as bleeps (although they're mostly from things that happen in the scenes). But here, everyone gets angry at the girls cursing, and the girls learn their lesson by learning what the actual curse word means. They then take down a literal "potty mouth" monster.
• In the The Simpsons Treehouse of Horror IX segment "Starship Poopers", Homer and Kang go on Jerry Springer to settle Maggie's parentage. Things quickly devolve into cluster bleeping.
  Homer: You one-eyed, two-timing (bleep) (bleep)! I'm gonna (bleep)!
  Kang: Oh, yeah? Well, (bleep), (bleep), hyperbolic tarapaloid, (bleep) yo mama!
  Marge: (Face Palming) I'm so (bleep) embarrassed...

  Ray: (looking shocked) —anywhere.
• In the Kaeloo episode "Let's Play Peace Man", Mr. Cat tries to yell a profanity-laced speech, but his microphone malfunctions, resulting in all swear words being "bleeped" out. It's quite easy to make out the words since only parts of them are bleeped out:
  Mr. Cat: Stupid fucking idiot! Goddamn duck! Pile of shit! One more time and I'll break your balls!
• Happens multiple times in Arthur season 8, episode 10 "Bleep".
  • The first is in the prologue where Arthur is visiting the set of a show called The Altos, a parody of The Sopranos. Arthur explains that the bleep is inserted to cover swear words, or anything you're not supposed to hear. When the actors are acting, a Cluster Bleep-Bomb ensues.
    Gangster: Ugh! This is terrible apple betty, it's *BLEEP*! My mother. Now there was a woman who could make *BLEEP* an amazing apple betty. When she made it, the whole *BLEEP* neighborhood stood outside her house! *BLEEP* saint *BLEEP* that woman was. If it's okay with you Tee, I'd like to give that pastry chef a taste of his own cannoli.
    Mafia Boss: Hey, none of you *BLEEP* *BLEEP* so much as *BLEEP* unless I *BLEEP* say so! Capiche?
  • The second happens soon after when Arthur imagines if the bleep existed in real life. He has the bleep button operator bleep out people saying things he doesn't want to hear, even if they're not swear words. Later, DW holds the button down to annoy Arthur.
  • The final cluster bleep-bomb happens at the end when various kids at DW's preschool use the episode's unknown swear word gratuitously. ^note Word of God states that the voice actors used the word "Chicken", but YouTuber Scott Cramer believes the characters used the slur for gay people.
    Amanda Hulser: You're a *BLEEP*!
    Maryann: No, you are!
    Amanda Hulser: You look like a *BLEEP*!
    Maryann: You're a *BLEEEEEEEP*!
    DW arrives
    Tommy Tibble: Well, did you say it to 'em?
    Edwin: What in *BLEEP* did they do when you did?
    Amanda Hulser: Thanks for teaching it to us, you *BLEEP*!
    DW: Uh, guys? I think we need to have a talk about this.
• One of Cartoon Network's old bumpers had Fred Jones delivering one of these when describing his response to questions about his ascot, much to the rest of the gang's shock.
• Smiling Friends: In trying to salvage Mr. Frog's reputation, Charlie and Pim have him show up in Jimmy Fallon's show to hopefully get some sympathy back, while Charlie doped him on sleeping pills to curb his usual violent outbursts. "No one's ever done anything crazy on sleeping pills", in his words. This immediately goes awry when Jimmy asks Mr. Frog what the worst part of working on his show was, and he answers it was working with those filthy... somethings, as the show deploys a four-second bleep whose covered-up contents shock Jimmy, Pim, and even the normally-unfazed Charlie.
  Pim: Um... that was, uh, that was really bad.
• The Boondocks: At the end of the episode "Ballin'", Riley ends up losing a junior basketball game that until then his team was assured to win. As his coach Tom DuBois watches the opposing team receive the trophy—with the announcer comparing the game's conclusion to the ending of The Mighty Ducks, something that Tom himself had also wanted to experience—the otherwise well-mannered attorney slams his clipboard onto the ground and breaks out into a profanity-laden tirade at his players that is bleeped out in TV airings of the episode. (On the DVD release, it's completely uncut.)
  Tom: Mother-*BLEEP*!! *BLEEP*! *BLEEP*! *BLEEP* *BLEEP* *BLEEP*! Pricks! *BLEEP*! *BLEEP BLEEP BLEEP*! *BLEEEEEEP!!*
