History GoshDangIt / WesternAnimation

* ''WesternAnimation/TinyToonAdventures'': Fowl Mouth zigzags between this and TheBleep, using dad-blamed before going on to the fouler language that needs to be beeped out.

* Has happened in ''WesternAnimation/BigCityGreens'' at least once.

** The words "damn" and "hell" are treated as fairly shocking. [[SeinfeldIsUnfunny When the show debuted, "damn" and "hell"]] ''[[SeinfeldIsUnfunny were]]'' [[SeinfeldIsUnfunny shocking in a cartoon, at least in America, as was the word "butt".]] The trope has been fading in the series's more recent episodes, most likely to keep in line with other adult cartoons, such as ''WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy''. Definitely long since averted. Words like "bastard", "pissed", and "bitch" have been used occasionally for well over a decade in the show now. Probably because of the show's ever growing immunity to [[ExecutiveMeddling tampering]]; at this point, the creators can do whatever they like in the show and get away with it.

* Oddly enough, this was averted in "The Mirror" where Gumball straight-up says the word "damnation". Granted, it was in the literal sense, but it is still incredibly rare for a TV-Y7 rated cartoon.

** The episode ''When Pigs Ruled the Earth'' is a parody of ''Film/PlanetOfTheApes'', complete with an ending scene where the Mask falls to his knees before the ruined Coco Bongo Club and screams, "Darn you! Darn you all to heck!"

** There are also a few instances of characters using "swine" in this way, notably in "Feryl Steps Out". The way Lexor reacts to Feryl's taunting of the Darkling Lords makes it sound as though Feryl called them something much worse than "treacherous swine".

* The characters in ''WesternAnimation/{{Visionaries}}'' occasionally use the words "blast" and "blasted" as mild expletives.

** Naturally Ned Flanders is a walking parody of the trope: "[[{{Flanderization}} Son of a diddly]]". It's very noticeable when Ned loses it: "Oh-hell-diddly-ding-dong-''crap!''"

''(All the customers gasp)''\\

** Parodied in the episode "Pygmoelian", where a character clearly says "What the fudge?" but is still [[SoundEffectBleep bleeped]].

* In a ''WesternAnimation/SpongeBobSquarePants'' episode all about swearing, [=SpongeBob=] and Patrick's newly-discovered "Sentence Enhancer" is heard as a dolphin noise. It is probable that they are actually swearing and the sound that the audience hears is a SoundEffectBleep. Played with at the end, however, which implies that the apparent SoundEffectBleep ''is'' the swear in question. The exact same plot was used for an episode of ''WesternAnimation/ThePowerpuffGirls'' and ''WesternAnimation/BabyLooneyTunes''.

* ''WesternAnimation/ThePowerpuffGirls'':

** The Movie has Buttercup trying to free Talking Dog from the grip of a giant ape. She yells [[Film/PlanetOfTheApes1968 "Get your paws off him, you darned dirty ape!"]]

** In the early episodes Fry would annoyingly say "crud".

* In ''WesternAnimation/AquaTeenHungerForce'', Frylock scolds Meatwad for using "hell," "damn," & "ass." Both Frylock and Meatwad use actual cuss words, but they're beeped out by other sounds from the Episode.

* ''WesternAnimation/TheMask'' cartoon has one that doubles as a ShoutOut: [[Franchise/{{Alien}} "Get away from her you Glitch!"]]

* In ''WesternAnimation/TheGrimAdventuresOfBillyAndMandy'', [[BumblingDad Harold]] tells [[TheDitz Billy]] it's important to have a list while in a Walmart-esque department store so you don't buy "stupid crud" and "catch heck from the missus."

* The titular family of ''WesternAnimation/TheLoudHouse'' have a SharePhrase of "Dang it!", said when something unpleasant is going on. This makes sense for the 11-year-old Lincoln on down but starts to get amusing when used by the teens and adults.
** The above becomes more hilarious after the episode "Potty Mouth", where the kids start freaking out over who [[LittleBrotherIsWatching swore in front of baby Lily]].

GoshDangItToHeck in western animation.

** In one episode, when Stan falls of a bike he was attempting to ride, he shouts "God bless it!" instead of the more common "god damn it!" (Stan is a conservative Christian, so it makes sense he wouldn't want to say anything considered blasphemous).

** Also averted in "Ye Old Shakesphere Dinner Theatre" during the beginning of the episode in which Dan clearly says "damned".

* WesternAnimation/DangerMouse and Penfold are on a mission and the pass by the Northern Lights. When DM comments they're the Aurora Borealis, Penfold admonishes "Now, now...language!"

* ''WesternAnimation/BeanyAndCecil'' just uses it to its advantage when villain Dishonest John gets sent to Hell with an inept genie.
