History Main / IntentionallyAwkwardTitle

* Website/DeviantART, almost certainly. The official name for those registered there is Deviants, which can get a little, ah, interesting when trying to explain IRL that you already exhibit your art, and where.

* Try explaining to your significant other what ''Lonely and Horny'' (a web series by WebVideo/JakeAndAmir of WebSite/{{CollegeHumor}} fame) is doing in your search history.

* The UsefulNotes/JavaScript test running tool Testacular was renamed [[https://karma-runner.github.io/latest/index.html Karma]] because people familiar with its technical merits were reluctant to use it on work projects or write blog posts about it, which is generally fatal to open-source software. ([[https://opensource.guide/code-of-conduct/ OSS codes of conduct]] usually favor inclusiveness.)

* ''Gay Sex!'', an [[UsefulNotes/IOSGames iPhone]] card game. Which rather notoriously rose to the top spot of Website/GameFAQs' most-visited games list, meaning it was on the front page for all to see, and didn't show any sign of dropping, because curiosity brought new people to the page all the time. It was eventually ''removed'' from the site's otherwise comprehensive games list for...fairly self-evident reasons. Although this is often considered a blow for both free speech and gay rights on the site.

** This was followed up with ''[[VideoGame/RatchetAndClankSizeMatters Size Matters]]'' (a [[UsefulNotes/PlayStationPortable PSP]] title that amusingly got ported to the [[UsefulNotes/PlayStation2 PS2]]), which prominently features [[IncredibleShrinkingMan shrink rays]].

* An action/puzzle game for the Platform/{{Gizmondo}} and later UsefulNotes/{{iOS|Games}} is called ''Sticky Balls''. Another Gizmondo game, never officially released, was a 3D ''VideoGame/{{Pong}}'' game titled ''Ball Busters''.

* ''VideoGame/SouthParkTheFracturedButWhole'' looks innocent when written down but, when spoken, is quickly revealed to be this trope.

[[folder:Music]]
* Music/{{LMFAO}}, whose name is an internet acronym for "Laughing My Fucking Ass Off", although it officially stands for "Loving My Friends And Others". Their original name was Sexe Dude, which is also pretty bad.
* The Cherry Poppin' Daddies name was controversial ''before'' they hit it big in the late nineties. Once they hit it big, the amount of hosts and announcers who awkwardly announced their name on television was hilarious.
* There is a record label in Portland called [[Creator/CavitySearchRecords Cavity Search Records]].
* Music/SnoopDogg's first album, ''Doggystyle'', was named after the sex position. Some of the songs also qualify, like "For all my Niggaz and Bitches", and "Gz Up, Hoes Down".
* Music/TheFugs, the name intentionally chosen to sound like "the fucks" were the pioneers of offending people. Their album ''Music/ItCrawledIntoMyHandHonest'' (1968) is another example.
* The album ''Music/NeverMindTheBollocksHeresTheSexPistols'' from the Music/TheSexPistols, who themselves invoke this trope.
** Guess where the price sticker is usually found on the CD case for that album?
*** Soon after its release the album title was found to be officially not obscene due to "bollocks" also being an Anglo-Saxon legal term for the testicles of a bull. Nobody (the hearing included) was fooled, but there was nothing legally prohibiting it. The guy who won this case, by the way, was John Mortimer QC, perhaps better known as the creator of ''Series/RumpoleOfTheBailey''.
* The pornogrind band Cemetery Rapist, along with songs like Herpes Injection, Granny Panty Snatcher, and Dick Sucking Daughters for Cornfield Fun. This band is the embodiment of {{Squick}}.
* Fuck, who are actually a not-particularly-aggressive indie-rock band. (Incidentally, Music/{{KISS}} considered calling themselves Fuck when they first formed.)
* [[https://itunes.apple.com/us/album/a-taste-of-dick-black/id262252032 A Taste of Dick Black]], an album from accordionist Dick Black.
* Nashville Pussy. Especially the ''Let Them Eat Pussy'' album, which must have been a fun one to announce at the Grammy Awards.
* Music/AnalCunt (Often referred to as "AC" or "[=AxCx=]" as a result. When their record label would only print "A.C." on their album artwork, they started using a logo where the letters intentionally looked like the body parts that they stood for). The titles of virtually every one of their songs probably qualify as well.
* Tit Wrench
* Schlong
* Prick
* 3 Way Cum
* Pussy Galore
* Music/PussyRiot, a Russian RiotGrrrl[=/=]PunkRock collective of whom three members were convicted of "hooliganism motivated by religious hatred" in a trial that attracted international attention.
* There exist at least two bands by the name "Bitch."
* Bitch Magnet
* Bitch Alert
* Bitchcraft
* Bitch And Animal
* Bitches Sin
* Bitchslicer
* Anvil Bitch
* Son of a Bitch
* Psycho Bitch
* Southern Bitch
* Little Bo Bitch
* 7 Year Bitch
* Atomic Bitchwax
* Music/JackOffJill (they were originally called 'Jack In Jill,' which isn't much better, before being renamed by lead singer Jessicka's close friend at the time, Music/MarilynManson)
* Jizz Janitors
* Slutvomit
* Excrementory Grindfuckers (just for a ''really'' obvious example)
* Music/ButtholeSurfers, often shortened to BH Surfers by prudish [=DJs=]. Actually fairly tame in comparison to one of their earlier names: The Inalienable Right To Eat Creator/FredAstaire's Asshole.
** When they appeared on The Late Show With Craig Kilborn, the host apparently wasn't allowed to introduce the group by name on-air: In order to still slip the band name by, he just played an audio tape of a voice saying "butt" and "surfers," then said "hole!" during a pause between the two words.
* A few years back, Providence had a punk band called Violent Anal Death. Some of their fliers portrayed Bert sodomizing Ernie.
* Alabama Thunderpussy
* The Genitorturers
* Me Mom and Morgenthaler
* Dayglo Abortions. One story has it that they'd decided to pick their band name by looking at the next day's newspaper, taking whatever topic the front page story was about, and putting "Dayglo" in front of it - the news article in question turned out to be about abortion laws. Album titles include ''Feed Us a Fetus'', ''Two Dogs Fucking'', and ''Holy Shiite''. Song titles include "Argh Fuck Kill", "Dogfarts", and "Religious Bumfucks".
* Vaginal Croutons
* Fucked Up. At least one print media profile of vocalist Damian Abraham opted to tiptoe around his band's unprintable name - the piece in question primarily focused on things like Damian's podcast and his then-recent role as host of Canadian music video program The Wedge, but whenever his musical career was mentioned, the actual name of his group was avoided altogether.
* Porn (formerly known as Men of Porn)
* The Master Musicians of Bukkake
* Fuck The Facts
* Some of the above names could have come right out of Music/JelloBiafra's "Names For Bands" routine which also includes "John Wayne On Acid", "Tits, Ass and Money", "The Absentee Thought Lords", and "Bono's Charred Remains." After all, [[http://rateyourmusic.com/list/JohnBuckWLD/jello_biafras_new_and_improved_names_for_bands__he_writes_em_down__why_dont_you_ Why would you want to be the 350th band to call yourselves something like Bad Attitude?]]
* Even a band name as comparatively tame as "Music/BarenakedLadies" sparked controversy in Toronto in 1991. The group is all-male and never performs naked, by the way.
* Just before Music/{{The Rolling Stones|Band}} decided to found their own record label, they had to produce one more song for their current label to fulfill their contract. However, nobody ever said that the song had to be releasable, and so they wrote one called "Cocksucker Blues" from ''Music/ExileOnMainSt''. It's pretty much about what it sounds like.
** The last song on ''Music/GoatsHeadSoup'' was originally titled "Star Fucker". Ahmet Ertegün of Atlantic Records made them change it to "Star Star" (presumably because the "Star" stands for the [[CensoredTitle censoring asterisks]]).
* The Artist Formerly Known As the Artist Formerly Known As Music/{{Prince}} has written and performed a song called "Pussy Control".
** He's also written and recorded a song called "Soft and Wet". Yes, it's an IntercourseWithYou song, and yes, the innuendo in the title is intentional.
* Music/DiabloSwingOrchestra does this quite a bit with their song titles. Most notably, "How To Organize a Lynch Mob".
* There's also apparently a silly band called Ween, who released a series of download-only songs collectively called ''Craters of the Sack''. These included titles such as "Big Fat Fuck," "Put The Coke On My Dick," and "Suckin' The Blood From The Devil's Dick."
** Ween also has ''several'' other odd titles throughout the rest of their discography: "Mushroom Festival In Hell," "Licking The Palm For Guava," "I Gots A Weasel," "Marble Tulip Juicy Tree," "Mister Would You Please Help My Pony?" "Reggaejunkiejew," and "Strap On That Jammypac" (the song doesn't even tell you what a Jammypac is), just to name a few.
* Music/ArcticMonkeys also named their EP ''Who the Fuck Are Arctic Monkeys?'', mainly to stop the disc from getting airplay and becoming widely known.
** Their album, ''Suck It and See'' also caused controversy in the US, where the meaning is not as clear as it is to UK audiences.
* The Music/TheBloodhoundGang song "Foxtrot Uniform Charlie Kilo". Record execs had to swap "Charlie" and "Uniform" in order for it to get any airplay, because people (''especially'' uptight MoralGuardians) love to have FunWithAcronyms.
** Also note that this is not just an acronym, but also the [[MilitaryAlphabet Military Phonetic Code]] for the actual spelling of the F-bomb.
** The same band's album ''Hooray for Boobies'' was sold in some stores with an altered cover and the title shortened to simply "Hooray."
* "Too Drunk To Fuck" by The Music/DeadKennedys actually placed on British radio charts. Of course, the [=DJs=] had to refer to it as "the latest song by The Dead Kennedys."
** Quite a few Dead Kennedys songs fall under this, with titles like "Nazi Punks Fuck Off" and "Let's Lynch the Landlord".
* Music/TheBirthdayParty's live EP ''Drunk on the Pope's Blood''.
* Later in Music/NickCave's career, Grinderman's song "No Pussy Blues"
* Wayne/Jayne County's "(If You Don't Want to Fuck Me Baby, Baby) Fuck Off".
* The band Rainbow Butt Monkeys. They later became Finger Eleven, which really isn't much cleaner if you think about it.
* The Music/NineInchNails song "Starfuckers Inc." was usually referred to as "Star''lovers'' Inc." in polite company. The {{bowdlerize}}d single version changed it to "Star''suckers'' Inc".
** Adrian Sherwood's remix of "March Of The Pigs", featured on the "Closer" single, was titled "March of the Fuckheads".
* The hip-hop group Niggaz With Attitude, also known as {{Music/NWA}}. See also their album ''Niggaz4life'' - the album title appears in mirrored writing on the cover, so it's also sometimes referred to as ''[=Efil=]4zaggin.''
* Music/TheBeatles' RemixAlbum ''Let It Be...Naked.'' Often called "Naked" for short and to differentiate it from the original ''Music/LetItBe.'' This trope makes it easier, alas, for "Naked" [[FanonDisContinuity not to exist.]]
* Music/WarrenZevon's song "My Shit's Fucked Up". The song itself is about the narrator's terminal cancer.
* "Niggerslut", "Rape the Angel", and "Kill All the Faggots" by Demoniac.
* "Fuck This Shit" by Music/BelleAndSebastian. Also counts as some weird form of SoundtrackDissonance, because it's actually a relaxing, summery instrumental.
** Ditto (on both counts) "Judy Is a Dickslap"
* Brazilian example: Rita Lee, "Tudo Vira Bosta" ("All Becomes Shit").
** Another ones from there: Ultraje a Rigor, "Filho da Puta" ("son of a bitch"), and Raimundos, "Esporrei na Manivela" ("I Ejaculated on a Handle")
* Music/MarilynManson has plenty of songs and albums like this, with to help of some puns. In addition, his stage name and many of the band member’s names could be this, as they base them off of a sex symbol AND a serial killer.
** For album titles, ''Music/AntichristSuperstar'', ''Music/HolyWoodInTheShadowOfTheValleyOfDeath'' and ''The Golden Age of Grotesque''.
** ''Music/PortraitOfAnAmericanFamily'' (which had a [[PunBasedTitle punny and awkward working title]], ''The [[UsefulNotes/CharlesManson Manson Family]] Album'') has "Cake and Sodomy", "Organ Grinder", "Dope Hat", and "Snake Eyes and Sissies".
** ''Music/SmellsLikeChildren'' has "May Cause Discoloration of the Urine and Feces", "Everlasting Cocksucker", "Fuck Frankie", "Shitty Chicken Gang Bang", "Dance of the Dope Hats", "Diary of a Dope Fiend", "Scans, Guns, and Peanut Butter", "White Trash," " Rock N Roll Nigger," "Kiddie Grinder"... pretty much every track on the album counts. "Dancing With The One Legged…" also counts since the full phrase is "Dancing With The One Legged Pimp."
** Songs from ''Music/AntichristSuperstar'' include "Tied Up, Dried, and Dead to the World", "Deformography", the TitleTrack, and "Angel With The Scabbed Wings".
** Third album ''Music/MechanicalAnimals'' has "The Dope Show," "Great Big White World," and "I Don't Like The Drugs (But The Drugs Like Me)".
** ''Music/HolyWoodIntheShadowoftheValleyofDeath'' has "Godeatgod," "President Dead," the TitleTrack, "The Death Song," and "Kill King 33."
** The album appropriately called ''The Golden Age of Grotesque' has "This Is The New Shit", the TitleTrack, and [[RefugeInAudacity "Slutgarden"]].
** ''Eat Me, Drink Me'' (which might be awkward, specially if you don't pick up on the ''Literature/AliceInWonderland'' reference) has "Mutilation is The Sincerest Form of Flattery", "The Red Carpet Grave" and "You and Me and The Devil Make Three".
** ''The High End of Low'' has "Pretty as A Swastika", "I Wanna Kill You Like They Do In The Movies", and of course "[[VulgarHumor Arma-Goddamn-Motherfucking-Geddon]]", which was [[WriterRevolt made solely to troll the label by creating an obvious single that they couldn't market]].
** ''Born Villain'' gives us "Lay Down Your Goddamn Arms", "Pistol Whipped" and "Murderers Are Getting Prettier Every Day".
** ''The Pale Emperor'' has "Killing Strangers," "Deep Six," "The Devil Beneath My Feet," "Birds Of Hell Awaiting," and "Cupid Carries A Gun."
** ''Heaven Upside Down'' has "WE KNOW WHERE YOU FUCKING LIVE," "KILL4ME," and "Blood Honey."
** ''WE ARE CHAOS'', the most recent album, has "SOLVE COAGULA."
** Remixes even sometimes get in on the act, with titles like "Next Motherfucker". Oh, and "Baboon Rape Party" from one of the singles.
* Music/PattiSmith's "Pissing in a River" from ''Music/RadioEthiopia''. Try telling someone that there's a poignantly beautiful, heart-wrenching song by that name, and they'll probably laugh at you.... until they actually listen to it. Wow! (Look it up on Website/YouTube. You're welcome.)
** Patti Smith was also responsible for "Hard Nipples," "Piss Factory," and [[Music/{{Easter}} "Rock n' Roll Nigger."]]
* Music/JohnLennon and Music/YokoOno's "Woman Is The Nigger Of The World", where the title was regarded as a powerful social statement.
* Averted by Music/TheOffspring's song "Stuff Is Messed Up", which despite its title features the chorus "Shit is fucked up".
* Music/VanHalen's album ''For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge'' isn't an awkward title in and of itself, but since the title puts one in the right frame of mind to notice the [[FunWithAcronyms acronym]]...
** The title is itself a reference to a popular folk etymology for the F-word.
* Music/{{Nas}} was planning to call his 2008 album ''Nigger'', but due to stores refusing to stock it, it ended up being released with NoTitle. Meanwhile, Nas also put a mixtape online, called ''The Niggertape''.
** Discussion of the album when Nas was interviewed on ''Series/TheColbertReport'' led to the coining of the word "[[SdrawkcabName reggin]]".
* Music/StoneTemplePilots were called Shirley Temple's Pussy for a short time before ExecutiveMeddling made them change it.
* The Venetian Snares album "Winnipeg Is A Frozen Shithole," an awkward enough title in its own right, contains a song titled, "Die Winnipeg Die Die Die Fuckers Die." Ouch.
** Venetian Snares later came out with an album that's awkward to discuss for quite a different reason: [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rossz_Csillag_Alatt_Szuletett the album]], and all its tracks, are titled in ''Hungarian''. It's not awkward for Hungarian speakers, of course, but for everyone ''else''...
* The band Music/TheThe is a bit difficult to discuss.
** [=Michael McIntyre=] wondered [[HilarityEnsues what would happen]] if you tried to discuss The The in Yorkshire, where the word "the" is reduced to "t'" (as in [[MemeticMutation t'Internet]]).
*** T'thee, of course. Just like certain American accents would render it as "thuh thee".
* The drag queen Vaginal Cream Davis.
* Somewhat more politely than most of the above, the Music/PetShopBoys named their first album "Please," because they liked the idea of forcing people to ask, "Could I have the Pet Shop Boys' new album, 'Please'?"
* Parodied in ''Film/ThisIsSpinalTap'' (surprise, surprise) with a fragment of an unfinished song- a very sweet, lyrical piano solo. The name? "Lick My Love Pump".
** Real-life example/inspiration: Music/FrankZappa, who would intentionally give beautiful instrumentals titles like [[Music/{{Guitar}} "Sexual Harassment in the Workplace"]], [[Music/JazzFromHell "G Spot Tornado"]], [[Music/WereOnlyInItForTheMoney "What's The Ugliest Part Of Your Body?"]] and [[Music/ZappaInNewYork "I Promise Not to Come in Your Mouth"]].
* The Music/MotionCitySoundtrack song, "L.G. Fuad" is example enough given what it stands for ("Let's get fucked up and die"). But, to go further, the song begins with the titular lyric, followed by, "I'm speaking figuratively of course." Once you think about the figurative meanings of "die" ... Yeah.
* Jimmy Buffett's "Why Don't We Get Drunk (And Screw)" was considered a novelty song and was a jukebox favorite for many years. When there are children in the audience, Buffett sings "Why Don't We Get Lunch In School."
* And there's always "(I'd Just Like To Fuck You) One More Time" and the rest of Music/DavidAllanCoe's "underground" repertoire.
* In, 1967, Music/TheMonkees made a song called "Randy Scouse Git"[[note]]Translation into American English: "Horny Bastard from Liverpool".[[/note]] (a phrase the band had heard on BritCom ''Till Death Us do Part''), which went uncensored in the US ...[[BilingualBonus because most of us don't know Britsh slang]]. ''Everywhere else'' in the world, the tune was released as "Alternate Title".
* There's a Japanese pop-rock band named Porno Graffiti. It comes from [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pornograffitti ''Pornograffiti'']], an album by the (American) band Extreme; it's a portmanteau!
* Music/{{Nirvana}}'s "Rape Me" from ''Music/InUtero'' (labeled as "Waif Me") and it's B-side "Moist Vagina". Also, "Territorial Pissings" and the B-sides album ''Incesticide''.
* Music/TheSmashingPumpkins' "Silverfuck" (labeled as "Silvercrank") from ''Music/SiameseDream''.
* Music/{{Metallica}} and the San Francisco Symphony Orchestra once teamed up to produce a [[SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic somewhat splendiferous]] live album. The title was ''S&M'', as in "Symphony and Metallica". Try telling people the S&M version of this one is great. Try it!
** And of course, [[WhatCouldHaveBeen they wanted to call]] their first album ''Metal Up Your Ass''. An ExecutiveVeto, so they named it after [[WriterRevolt the bassist's reaction]], ''Kill 'Em All''.
* The name of Music/BigBlack's second album, ''Music/SongsAboutFucking''. ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin, albeit [[{{Squick}} in the wrongest way possible]].
** Jello Biafra took advantage of this after the Music/DeadKennedys were put on trial for obscenity. Following their acquittal, he refused to shake the DA's hand, and then gave him a copy of ''Music/SongsAboutFucking'' by Music/BigBlack.
* Not actually a case now, but the names of Music/BlackSabbath and Music/JudasPriest got MoralGuardians in quite a stir back in the day.
* Serj Tankian's "Beethoven's Cunt", which is also a NonAppearingTitle.
** In addition to his band, "The Flying Cunts of Chaos"
** "Beethoven's Cunt" is the only song in the ''VideoGame/RockBand'' downloadable content library with a censored title, appearing as "Beethoven's C***" on the menu.
* Nelly Furtado's "Shit on the Radio (Remember the Days)" (single is titled "...on the Radio")
* Music/GunsNRoses named a leg of their ''Music/UseYourIllusion Tour'' as "Get In The Ring Motherfucker - Round II" (a lyric of one of their songs).
* Music/ToriAmos' "Fat Slut"
* Music/{{KISS}} has "Burn Bitch Burn", which is one of the only times they ever actually swear.
** The DoubleEntendre titles might count ("Love Gun", "Naked City", "Down On Your Knees", "Lick It Up", "Dance All Over Your Face", "Young and Wasted", "Not For The Innocent", "Take It Off", "Seduction of The Innocent" and plenty more).
* Music/NeilYoung's song "Fuckin' Up" was written "F* !#in' Up" on the ''Ragged Glory'' album. Young says he wrote the song -- a loud, off-the-wall rocker about relationships -- hoping to get a warning sticker from the [[MoralGuardians Parents Music Resource Center]]. They didn't give him one. It's rumoured that one of his collaborations with Music/PearlJam, "I Got Id", was originally named "I Got Shit" (because that's really in the lyrics).
** "I Got Shit" is the actual title of the song - "I Got Id" was a one-time alternate title for the "Merkinball" single.
* Adrian Legg's "Pass The Valium" yields a predictable request at his live shows.
* Music/LizPhair's "Hot White Cum", "Fuck and Run", and "Shitloads of Money".
* Music/{{Nazareth}}'s ''Hair of the Dog'' (both song and album) was originally "Son of a Bitch", and the new title is a pun on this ("Heir of the dog").
* There's a conceptual band called "Fuck Your Stupid Civilization."
* On the not-filthy-but-really-awkward end of the scale, there's the band "!!!". Apparently pronounced "chk-chk-chk".
* Similarly, there's the rapper A who chose that name to make it as hard as possible for people to find his work on Napster.
** A is also the name of a British AlternativeRock band - it's unknown as to whether they were also deliberately making their music hard to search for online.
* There's also Music/{{Meshuggah}}'s album 'Nothing', which probably made some discussions of it resemble an Creator/AbbottAndCostello routine. In Hebrew and Yiddish, their name may also count - it means "crazy".
* The Music/{{Blink 182}} album ''Take Off Your Pants and Jacket''
* Music/{{Peaches}} has '''''loads''''' of them. Some examples include "Slippery Dick", "Diddle My Skittle", "Suck and Let Go", and of course, "Fuck the Pain Away".
** As well as album titles that include ''Fatherfucker'' and ''Impeach My Bush''.
* Music/{{REM}} subverts this with "[[CensoredTitle Star Me Kitten]]", which is said in the song as "Fuck me kitten".
* Holy Fuck
* There's a reggaeton singer called ''Nigga'', who's not black but a Hispanic from Panama. When he started releasing music in the USA, he changed his name to Flex.
* Fuck Buttons
* Jackie-O Motherfucker
* Fuzzass
* Machine Gun Fellatio, who brought us such classics as "Pussytown", "Butter My Arse With a Pigeon" and "Mutha Fukka On a Motorcylcle"
* "I Might Be a Cunt, But I'm Not a Fucking Cunt", "Fuck 'Em, Fuck 'Em - The Lot of 'Em!", "Defecate on My Face", "The Penis is Mightier than the Sword" by {{Music/TISM}}
* "I Sucked A Lot of Cock to Get Where I Am" by Regurgitator
* "We Hate You South African Bastards" by Music/{{Microdisney}}
* ''I Am Not Afraid Of You And I Will Beat Your Ass'' by Music/YoLaTengo
* The title of Music/CaptainBeefheart's ''Music/TroutMaskReplica'' was chosen to be awkward -- there are clashing consonants in every word. The alternate title ''Mousetrap Replica'', which does a similar thing, was used as part of the title of the song "The Blimp" which appears on the album.
** While we're at it, ''Trout Mask'' 's follow up album ''Music/LickMyDecalsOffBaby'' is almost always referred to as ''Decals'' when talking about it to people because it guarantees funny looks when said in real life.
* Even Music/BritneySpears has one with "If U Seek Amy."
** In case you don't get that one, [[spoiler: imagine that the title is spelling something out. F-U-C-K Me.]]
** A big band put out a record called "If You See Kay". In the ''1940s''.
* The Music/TheBonzoDogBand have a best of called "The Bestiality of the Bonzo Dog Doo Dah Band"
* Music/TheWildhearts have songs called "Thunderfuck", "Pissjoy", and "Shut Your Fucking Mouth And Use Your Fucking Brain" among others. (They got one S-word onto Top Of The Pops simply by censoring the lyric sheet and not singing too clearly.) They also released an album called "P.H.U.Q."
* "What the name of Music/LynyrdSkynyrd's first album?" "It's ''(Pronounced 'Lĕh-'nérd 'Skin-'nérd)''." "[[WhosOnFirst That's what I said!]]"
* The Music/ScissorSisters, especially once it's learned that not only is there only one woman, but she's the ''only'' straight permanent member. This however, is toned down from their original name (the end result of an arms race of vulgarity) "[[BuryYourGays Dead Lesbian]] [[CrossesTheLineTwice and the Fibrillating Scissor Sisters]]."
* Music/{{GWAR}}, or most of their songs anyway: "Fucking an Animal", "Sex Cow", "Sexecutioner", "Preschool Prostitute", "Bring Back the Bomb", "Gonna Kill U", "Knife in Yer Guts", and "Black and Huge". and, while we're at it...
** Their name is thought by some to be an [[FunWithAcronyms acronym]] for '''G'''od, '''W'''hat an '''A'''wful '''R'''acket. The band, however, have [[WordOfGod denied this]], and said that it "doesn't actually mean anything". Their earliest performances had them billed as Gwaaarrrgghhlllgh, which would be awkward due to being TheUnpronounceable.
* Music/CannibalCorpse, with song names such as "Gallery of Suicides", "Meat Hook Sodomy", "Fucked With a Knife", "I Cum Blood", "Edible Autopsy", "Skull Full Of Maggots", "Butchered at Birth" (also an album title), "Addicted to Vaginal Skin", "Necropedophile", "Entrails Ripped From a Virgin's Cunt, and so on in this vein.
* Cee-Lo Green's "Fuck You" made for an interesting Grammy nominations list in 2010.
* The Cows' ''Sexy Pee Story'', which has a title track as well as a song called "Shitbeard".
* Test Icicles, anyone?
* Music/ElP has a song called "Tasmanian Pain Coaster"
* The song "Constellation Dirtbike Head" by Tobacco
* "Shit Towne" by Live. The band's Google-resistant name also counts.
* My Penis is Made of Dogshit. What kind of music do they play? Mostly acoustic grindcore, with a bit of musique concrète.
* Pornopop. And there are ''two bands with this name!''
* Cock and Ball Torture.
* Sam The Sham & The Pharaohs' "I Couldn't Spell !!*@!". (The chorus goes "I'd have wrote you a letter but I couldn't spell (BronxCheer)."
* "Mother !*!*!* Boogie", an instrumental boogie-woogie piece by Mungo Jerry.
* The band "Gary Glitter's Hard Drive," now a bunch of practical unknowns.
* The Broken Penis Orchestra.
* Music/MindlessSelfIndulgence. A number of their songs also qualify; one of their most popular songs is "Faggot", and one song is simply "Stupid Motherfucker".
* Music/{{Mudhoney}}'s single "You Stupid Asshole". There's also "Run Shithead Run" from the soundtrack of ''With Honors'': They titled it that way because they hoped their submission to the soundtrack would be rejected, but [[SpringtimeForHitler it wasn't]].
* A non-profane example would be The [=6ths=] and their albums ''Wasps' Nests'' and ''Hynacinths and Thistles'' - [[Music/TheMagneticFields Stephin Merritt]] has said he specifically chose the band's name and album titles because they would be difficult to say aloud (especially if one has a lisp).
* The Bloody Beetroots give us "Fucked from Above 1985."
* Believe it or not, there is actually a band called Child Pornography.
** In a different kind of awkward: Their second album is titled "The Beatles" and bears a blank white cover.
* Japanese Torture Comedy Hour, a noise act featuring members of Agoraphobic Nosebleed.
* Richard Ramirez (yes, that's his given name) has a real name that was unintentionally awkward and a lot of bands/nicknames that ''weren't'': Priest In Shit, Black Leather Jesus, Anal Drill, Fuck Patrol, Last Rape, [=12yr=] Old Proud Parent, Naked Girl Killed In Park, the list goes on and on...
* While the name is relatively mild compared to some, there's The Urinals, who later changed their name to the less awkward to discuss 100 Flowers.
* Music/JoyElectric has an album called ''The Tick Tock Treasury''. As he described it at a concert on May 1, 2003:
-->'''Ronnie Martin:''' I had a new record come out two weeks ago, and it's called the, uh, ''The Tick Tock Treasury''. And, uh, that is the, uh, the fourth time I've had the guts to say that title in front of people. You know. Sometimes it takes a lot, you know? You take the risks, you pay the price.
* The Fags. They're actually a perfectly accessible PowerPop band who happened to choose a name that pretty much guarantees them no mainstream radio play. They also played on the other, less offensive meaning of their name by calling an album ''Light 'Em Up''.
* Atlanta rapper Tity Boi, though he eventually started going by the more "family friendly" moniker Music/TwoChainz.
* Perhaps in mockery of these tendencies, there is a hip-hop musician who records under the name "Cusswords."
* Anthony Shaw, of such acts as Haemorrhaging Fetus, Teenage Strangler, She Said No, A Machine Called Orgasm, and Albert Fish Is My Hero.
* The Polish {{Thrash Metal}} band Acid Drinkers, who have a song called "When You Say to Me 'Fuck You', Say it Louder". The chorus of the song is pretty much that.
** They have also a song called "Become a Bitch".
* Dominick Fernow of Prurient is also part of Exploring Jezebel, whose albums and tracks all have very long and/or awkward titles involving male feminization, objectification and masochism.
* The Fucking Champs. They originally wanted to be simply The Champs, but found that the name was taken (by the group best known for "Tequila"). Additionally, the band Trans Am did a couple of collaborative albums with The Fucking Champs - once as Trans Champs, and once as the somewhat more awkward to discuss Fucking Am.
* Albeit to a lesser degree, Music/JoyDivision's name was this. They were named after the prostitution wing of a Nazi concentration camp from Ka-tzetnik 135633's novel ''[[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_House_of_Dolls The House Of Dolls]]''. This often led to fascist fanatics attending Joy Division gigs, and the band are known to have often spat on said fascists in disgust. The fact the [[SpiritualSuccessor follow-up band]] to Joy Division after Ian Curtis' suicide were named Music/NewOrder didn't really help matters.
* One of the songs off punk band Pairs' second full length: "A Surgeon At A Hospital In Shanghai Severed A Nerve In My Groin." It's a NonIndicativeName, much like several of the others in said album.
* Music/TheNewPornographers. Unlike most of the bands listed here, they've only produced one song that could be considered sexually explicit, and that's only by [[WordOfGod their own description]]: "Entering White Cecilia". The title is exactly what it sounds like, but you'd never guess it from [[WordSaladLyrics the rest of the lyrics]].
* My Dick, a novelty band who cover popular songs and change certain lyrics to "dick" or "my dick". This of course results in awkward song titles like [[Music/EltonJohn "Don't Go Breaking My Dick"]] and [[Music/BruceSpringsteen "Dancing In My Dick"]].
* Rapeman. Music/SteveAlbini also confirmed that it's sort of a ShoutOut to ''The Rapeman'', as already mentioned in the anime section.
* There's a canon in B flat major by Music/WolfgangAmadeusMozart entitled "Leck mich im Arsch" (literally "Lick me in the arse".)
* [[Music/HelloProject Morning Musume]]'s 53rd single ''very nearly'' was released under the title "Buresuto" -- which is short for "Brainstorming", but when said aloud, brings to mind something else. [[SubvertedTrope However]], in the end the single was named "Brainstorming" after all.
* The Crucifucks: (a.k.a. "Scribbles") When your opening bands consist of mostly high school kids at all ages shows, you need a back-up name for the fliers. After getting signed to Creator/AlternativeTentacles, The Crucifucks were the opening act.
* The Pieces Of Shit, who are Music/TalkingHeads' Music/David Byrne and Will Oldham collaborating on songs for the film ''Film/ThisMustBeThePlace''.
* There is one artist called Fucky Fuck and the Fuckers; their only song is called [[ClusterFBomb FUCK THE FUCKIN FUCK.]]
* The final studio album Music/{{Badfinger}} recorded for Apple Records in 1973 was titled ''Ass''. A painting of a mule walking towards a carrot on a stick (a TakeThat at their financial troubles) as the sun sets ahead was featured on the album cover.
* Early Skinless albums would name about half their songs this way. Memorable examples include "Pool of Stool", "Tug of War Intestines", and the crowner, "Tampon Lollipops".
* Venezuelan band Los Amigos Invisibles have a song named "El Disco Anal" ("disco" here meaning both "music album" and the genre from the 70s). It's a cleverly worded petition of a man to have anal sex with his lover for the very first time, without actually using naughty words or specifying the act, set to disco music. When the thing became a radio single, they cut the TitleDrop in the beginning and contorted to call the song "El disco" or "Disco A". Also, a Korean band covered the song and renamed it "Disco '''Amor'''".
* Math rock band Giraffes? Giraffes! is already an example, but most of their track titles are either surreal or long, usually both. The most awkward of which is most likely, "I am S/H(im)e[r] as You am S/H(im)e[r] As You Are Me And We Am I and I Are All Our Together: Our Collective Consciousness' Psychogenic Fugue."
* Gangsta Bitch Barbie, who eventually became Nullset. Oddly enough the name was changed not because it was offensive, but because it infringed on [[{{Franchise/Barbie}} Mattel's trademark]].
* Music/{{Meatloaf}} collaborator Jim Steinman claims to have been in a band in college called The Clitoris That Thought It Was a Puppy. Meatloaf doesn't believe him. A popular misconception is that it was his high school band, which would put it somewhere in the mid 60s!
* Shitdisco. There's probably a bit of SelfDeprecation in their name, as they're a DancePunk band who claim to have some unironic {{disco}} influences.
* German PunkRock band Big Balls And The Great White Idiot, who also have the notable song title "I'm Singing To You With My Finger In Your Ass".
* "Leviticus: Faggot" by Meshell Ndegeocello.
* Leftöver Crack is a fairly mild example, but with song and album titles like "Fuck World Trade", "One Dead Cop" and "Baby-punchers". Played straighter with Stza's side project "Star Fucking Hipsters".
* Shit Robot.
* Loverboy depending on the context.
* Music/SteelyDan is pretty much named after a strap-on dildo from ''Literature/NakedLunch''.
* Abörted Hitler Cöck, who probably have the worst band name ever. As if that wasn't enough their songs and albums tend to be full of BlackComedyRape, ToiletHumor, VulgarHumor, and other related tropes. Wanna listen to "[[http://tornfleshrecords2.bandcamp.com/track/using-rapebabies-as-riotshields Using Rapebabies as Riot Shields]]" from "Erections at an Animal Autopsy"? This even extends to the band's members, a pair of {{masked luchador}}es named El Bukkake and El Fucko.
* The early-80s British anarcho-punk band Flux of Pink Indians are now chiefly remembered for the Intentionally Awkward Title of their album ''The Fucking Cunts Treat Us Like Pricks'', which led to an unsuccessful prosecution of a record shop for criminal obscenity.
* {{Music/Alphaville}} titled their fourth album ''Prostitute'' even though the word doesn't appear in any of the song lyrics or song titles.
* Music/JohnZorn has instrumental tracks called: "Igneous Ejaculation", "Fuck the Facts" (from "Naked City" (1990), "Perfume of a Critic's Burning Flesh", "Jazz Snob Eat Shit", "Pigfucker" (from "Torture Garden" (1990)), "Sweat, Sperm + Blood", "Coprahagist Rituals"(from "Heretic" (1992)), "Sex Fiend" (from ''Music/{{Radio}}'' (1993)), "Guts of a Virgin", "Handjob" and "Purgatory of Fiery Vulvas" (1991) with Painkiller.
** He also has an instrumental track called "Bone Crusher" on an album called ''Music/MusicForChildren''.
* {{Music/Kesha}} has performed as part of a band called Yeast Infection.
* "Angels of Porn" by Nicole Dollanganger.
* The independent music label Fire Records titled a compilation ''I Wouldn't Piss On It If It Was On Fire''. The title is normally an expression meaning you strongly dislike someone/something, but using it in the context of a record label called Fire implies the opposite.
* "Our Lawyer Made Us Change the Name of This Song So We Wouldn't Get Sued" by Music/FallOutBoy.
* An Arkansas band had the name Ashtray Babyhead until signing a major-label deal and renaming themselves The Kicks.
* Music/ThePopGroup has an album called ''For How Much Longer Do We Tolerate Mass Murder?'', and their best-known single is called "We Are All Prostitutes".
* Why did Primitive Radio Gods end up as a OneHitWonder? Might have had something to do with the follow-up single to "Standing Outside a Broken Phone Booth with Money in My Hand" being called "Motherfucker" (complete with several [[TitleDrop Title Drops]] in the lyrics).
* Music/AphexTwin. The worst bit isn't the fact that he has songs called things like "Cunt", "Death Fuck" and "Come On You Slags". Or even that he has songs called things like "Backdoor.Spybooter.A" and ""[=PWSteal.Bancos.Q=]". The ''worst'' bit is that he has songs called things like "Kladfvgbung Micshk" (one of a few in an album with titles in ''Cornish''!), "[=Beskhu3epnm=]", and "s950tx16wasr10". ''Loads'' of them. Not forgetting the one that's a mathematical equation, or the [[Music/SelectedAmbientWorksVolumeII entire album]] where all the titles are blurry photographs.
* The Music/KendrickLamar album ''DAMN.''
* [[Music/BigStar Alex Chilton's]] album ''Loose Shoes And Tight Pussy'', named after [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earl_Butz#Scandals_and_resignation a crudely-insulting jibe about African-Americans that cost American politician Earl Butz his job]]. The American edition of the album was re-titled ''Set''.
* Music/{{The Cure|Band}} mostly avoid this trope, but one of their 80s albums is called ''Pornography''. Have fun asking for that in a record store, or telling someone you downloaded it...
* Another 80s {{Goth}} band went by the name of ''Sex Gang Children''.
* NoiseRock band AIDS Wolf. They've given differing explanations of the name: 1) there was a supposed UrbanLegend about AIDS-infected wolves attacking pets, which would then pass it on to humans, 2) they wanted to make a convoluted ShoutOut to two of their influences, An Albatross and The Sick Lipstick, by putting both an animal and an illness in their name, or 3) it's "a message that we as humans must take care for our animal siblings as their health is a barometer of our own survival".
* The British/Scottish indie rock band Dogs Die In Hot Cars.
* "The Shark's Own Private Fuck" by Music/SunnyDayRealEstate, which is a NonAppearingTitle.
* "Lo Boob Oscillator" by Music/{{Stereolab}}. Ironically, one of their most [[RadioFriendliness radio friendly]] songs, if only [=DJs=] didn't have to announce the title.
* {{Knife Party}}'s song "Micropenis" is an example of this.
* Chris Janson's ''Take a Drunk Girl Home'' is about a man escorting a drunk woman to her house, turning on her hallway lights, leaving her keys and his number on the counter, and locking the door behind him. There's the line, "Let her sleep all alone". All-in-all a good message, but many people automatically recoil when first hearing the title due to a belief it'll be a song ignoring the fact the fact consent can't be given in such a situation and encouraging and glorifying sexual violence against a woman too intoxicated to defend herself.
* Some band names can create a WhosOnFirst situation, including the band actually named Music/TheWho, as well as Music/{{Yes}} and Music/TheBand. "I went to see Music/TheBand last night." "Which band?" "The Band." "Yes, but which band?" etc.
* {{Music/Melvins}}' ''Alive At The Fucker Club'': It's a LiveAlbum but the venue wasn't actually called that. Topped off with a roadkill dog on the cover artwork
* The Music/{{Weezer}} song "Zombie Bastards".
* Music/GreenDay's ''Father of All Motherfuckers'' (the cover has a [[https://www.tenhomaisdiscosqueamigos.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/green-day-father-of-all-capa-696x696.jpg strategically placed unicorn]] to make sure it's "presentable").
* Music/LanaDelRey's "Fucked My Way to the Top", along with her sixth studio album ''Norman Fucking Rockwell!''.
* Diarrhea Planet, a [[GarageRock Garage Punk]] band hailing from Nashville, Tennessee.
* ''Smoke All Day'', from Hawaii's Ka'ikena Scanlan. It's not about drugs. In fact, it's ''very specifically'' anti-drug, especially meth.
--> "Smoke meat, not drugs."
* Raging Slab released albums titled ''Assmaster'' and ''(pronounced ēat-shït)'' - the latter also being a ShoutOut to ''(Pronounced 'Lĕh-'nérd 'Skin-'nérd)'' by Music/LynyrdSkynyrd, a band they were sometimes compared to.
* The jan Misali album ''[[https://conlangcritic.bandcamp.com/album/disambiguation (disambiguation)]]'' was named that way as a joking reference to how Website/ThatOtherWiki does disambiguation pages. They later realized why most people don't do that:
-->(trying to find things people are saying about my new album) hmm. maybe naming this something confusing and ambiguous as a joke was a bad idea
* The Sugarcubes had a song called "Fucking in Rhythm and Sorrow". It's a NonAppearingTitle; the closest the song gets to swearing is an exclamation of "Oh my God and Jesus as well!".
* The B-Side to the title track to Music/EltonJohn's Goodbye Yellow Brick Road was a song called "Screw You", retitled "Young Man's Blues" in America to avoid offense.
* Music/LimpBizkit intentionally named their band after a really gross masturbation activity to drive non-fans away. In the words of frontman Fred Durst, "A lot of people pick up the disc and go, 'Limp Bizkit. Oh, they must suck.' Those are the people that we don't even want listening to our music." A few of their album titles also invoke this, namely ''Music/ChocolateStarfishAndTheHotDogFlavoredWater'' and ''Still Sucks'' (which, of course, can also be read as "''[[SelfDeprecation Limp Bizkit Still Sucks]]''").
* {{Music/Steppenwolf}} have a song called "Fag", though it's an instrumental piece and named after the chords of the song (F, A, and G). One fan theory holds that this was also meant as kind of a prank on radio [=DJs=] - since it's instrumental, you could play it on air without causing offense, but then a listener might call in to ask what the song was called...
* Music/TheProdigy's "Smack My Bitch Up" (the title is one of the two lines heard in the song's recurring {{sampl|ing}}e).
* {{Music/Goreshit}}
* [[UsefulNotes/FurryFandom Furry]] band Pepper Coyote's album Blast Radius is filled with this, containing songs that flip between extended double entendres and actual songs about the acts described. The worst ones include 'No Cock Like Horse Cock' and 'Step On My Face (And Tell Me You Love Me)'.
* {{Music/Buzzcocks}}' song "Oh Shit!". The band name itself was also deliberate double entendre: It stemmed from a review of the tv series ''Rock Follies'' that used the headline "It's the buzz, cock!", with "buzz" being the excitement of live music, and "cock" being Northern English slang for "friend", but the band were amused by the AccidentalInnuendo about adult toys in that context, and member Pete Shelley had once worked in a sex shop.
* Music/CaravanPalace has an album called ''<|°_°|>''. Because it's impossible to pronounce or type, most people just call it "Robot Face".
* Music/WillWood has a few songs with really long or unpronounceable titles, like "2econd​ ​2ight​ ​2eer (that was fun, goodbye​.​)" and "Marsha, Thankk You for the Dialectics, but I Need You to Leave". The longest is "Big Fat Bitchie’s Blueberry Pie, Christmas Tree, and Recreational Jell-o Emporium a.k.a. “Mr. Boy is on the Roof Again” (Feat. Pasta by Sneakers McSqueakers) [From “B.F.B.’s B-Sides: Bagel Batches, Marsh-Mallows, & Barsh-Mallows”]".
* Music/BeYourOwnPet:
** They have a song called "Bitches Leave".
** The title of their 2023 album ''Mommy''.
* Music/{{Castlecomer}}'s "Make Love Make Music".
* Music/YourNeighbors has songs called "!!!" and "Rabies".
* Music/SaintMotel has an album called ''[[FunWithHomophones ForPlay]]''.

* The 2022 short film ''My Year Of Dicks'', about a teenage girl's various attempts to lose her virginity. The short went on to receive an UsefulNotes/AcademyAward nomination, and when Riz Ahmed announced the nominees, there was a pause as everyone in the room [[https://www.youtube.com/live/dhdaLnKMJHA?feature=share&t=568 took a moment]] to giggle at the tile.

* [=NESticle=] by Creator/BloodlustSoftware. Playing UsefulNotes/NintendoEntertainmentSystem games, it was the first publicly available freeware [[UsefulNotes/{{Emulation}} video game emulator]], hailed as a pioneer in the video game emulation scene, and has been cited as being instrumental in starting the video game music genre and console modding communities, as well as introducing a ''lot'' of newcomers to the emulation scene as it was easy to use and would run at very high speeds even on low-end machines with 486 and earlier processors running Windows 95 and [=DOS=]. All that, and it was called ''[=NESticle=]'' by ''The Fecal Lord''. And just in case that was too subtle, the windows icon was a drawing of a ballsack.
* "Lolicon" is the name of a useful homebrew application for overclocking the UsefulNotes/PlaystationVita. [[LoliconAndShotacon Be real careful googling it]]. Then again, considering the kind of games the Vita got later in its run, the name isn't exactly ill-fitting.

* ''Speed Freaks'' was a ''VideoGame/MarioKart'' clone released for UsefulNotes/PlayStation in 1999. While the term was meant in the literal sense (it is a racing game, after all), the pun wasn't exactly subtle, which is probably why it was renamed ''Speed Punks'' in the US.
* An action/puzzle game for the UsefulNotes/{{Gizmondo}} and later UsefulNotes/{{iOS|Games}} is called ''Sticky Balls''. Another Gizmondo game, never officially released, was a 3D ''VideoGame/{{Pong}}'' game titled ''Ball Busters''.

* ''WesternAnimation/SouthPark'' has several awkward episode titles. "Cartman's Mom is a Dirty Slut" (and its sequel, "Cartman's Mom is Still a Dirty Slut"), "Sexual Harassment Panda", "Two Guys Naked in a Hot Tub", "The Wacky Molestation Adventure", "Bebe's Boobs Destroy Society", "The Biggest Douche in the Universe", "Major Boobage", "Eek, a Penis!", "You Got F'd in the A", "Butters' Bottom Bitch", "Ass Burgers", "Reverse Cowgirl" and several others. There were some that actually got censored, such as "An Elephant Fucks a Pig" (censored to "An Elephant Makes Love to a Pig", which Trey Parker found ridiculous) and "Chickenfucker" (censored to "Chickenlover" - both terms are used in the episode itself). "You Got F'd in the A" was originally actually titled "You Got Fucked in the Ass", and some sources simply refer to it as "You Got..."

* ''[[http://books.google.com/books?id=dP0EgSo3sjoC Sodomy and the Pirate Tradition]]''. It's only partly about sodomy. Apparently, Creator/JohnnyDepp read it in preparation for his role as Jack Sparrow in ''Film/PiratesOfTheCaribbean'' -- and it shows.

* ''VideoGame/HyperdimensionNeptuniaUActionUnleashed'': Upon ClothingDamage, IF can mention a game called "[[VideoGame/CallOfDuty Call of Boobie]]: [[Franchise/TombRaider Nude Raider]]"\\

* Music/CaravanPalace had an album called ''<|°_°|>''. Because it's impossible to pronounce or type, most people just call it "Robot Face".

* Music/BeYourOwnPet has a song called "Bitches Leave".

** ''[[Creator/FoxNewsChannel Foxy Nudes]]''

* ''WesternAnimation/{{Wishfart}}'' has the exact kind of title that causes people to raise their eyebrows when they hear or read it, with most assuming it to be ToiletHumor and little else. However the show's title is actually a play on "brainfart", since the show's about [[BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor a leprechaun who grants wishes that always go wrong]]. Furthermore, the show itself actually has very little potty humor, being mostly a surreal UrbanFantasy with the title arguably adding to [[WhatDoYouMeanItWasntMadeOnDrugs the "wtf" nature of the show]].

* A good number of {{Hentai}} fall under this. A certain amount of this is probably the distributors trying to make sure that kids [[WhatDoYouMeanItsNotForKids don't pick it up accidentally]].

* ''Film/WhatTheBleepDoWeKnow''. This is the actual uncensored title. Generally said as "What the Bleep Do We Know!?"
* The documentary ''Who The #$&% Is Jackson Pollock?'' uses symbols as its title on the case and even in the opening title. However, truck driver Teri Horton [[TitleDrop says the uncensored title]] as she relays the story of how she bought what some believe is an authentic Pollock painting at a thrift store in regard to her theretofore lack of familiarity with the famous painter.

* ''Film/YTuMamaTambien'', a Mexican film whose title tranlates to ''[[YourMom And Your Mom Too]]''. It was released in the U.S. under the Spanish title.

* ''Die Nigger Die!'', the 1969 autobiography of Black radical activist H. Rap Brown.

* ''Literature/GoTheFuckToSleep'', a nice bedtime story ''not'' intended for young children, but their frustrated parents. The title is technically censored on the cover by centering the white "uc" letters over an equally-white moon. The kid-safe version is titled ''Seriously, Just Go to Sleep''. It did well enough to get sequels, ''You Have To Fucking Eat''; ''Fuck, Now There Are Two of You''; ''Stay the Fuck Home'', a self-parody released during the UsefulNotes/COVID19Pandemic.

* ''Nigger'', a book by Black comedian Dick Gregory detailing his life in the Civil Rights Movement. In his dedication page, he explains, "Every time you hear the word 'nigger', remember that they are advertising my book."
* ''Nigger: The Strange Career of a Troublesome Word'', a more academic study by Black author Randall Kennedy. TV commentators struggled to talk about it without actually saying the title.

* ''The Poisoner's Handbook'', an excellent look at the foundation of forensic science in New York City.

** ''The Color of Her Panties''. The context is that the panties don't actually exist -- the "her" in this case is a mermaid; she doesn't wear clothes, nor does she have legs, so she couldn't wear them even if they did exist. The color of her panties is therefore presented to a Wizard who can supposedly answer anything. It's almost resolved when [[spoiler:she ''does'' get a pair of panties, but they're magical (that's the only way she can wear them) and they ''change'' color]].

* ''Series/SchittsCreek''. While the spelling lets the title pass on print, ''speaking'' the title makes promoting it problematic to say the least. Lampshaded during an appearance by its cast on ''Series/TheLateShowWithStephenColbert'', where Colbert informs them CBS would only let them say the title uncensored if a CommercialPopUp for the show came up each time. They proceeded to do so ''a lot.''

* In a cross with PunBasedTitle, ''Series/ThatsMyBush'', a parody of sitcoms and politics featuring UsefulNotes/GeorgeWBush as the main character. The DoubleEntendre was made clearer in the final episode focused on Dick Cheney, ''That's My Dick!''.

* "Lolicon" is the name of a useful homebrew application for overclocking the UsefulNotes/PlaystationVita. [[LoliconAndShotacon Be real careful googling it.]] Then again, considering the kind of games the Vita got later in its run, the name isn't exactly ill-fitting.

** In an interview about this play on the ''Today'' show, Jane Fonda said, "I was asked to do a monologue called 'Cunt'." Yes, she said that on live television. And yes, there is a monologue that is nothing but CountryMatters.

* ''Webcomic/DogNigga'', a.k.a. ''Dog Ningen''. The main character is indeed half dog and half African American.

* When it came to picking a show's name, ''WesternAnimation/{{Stripperella}}'' probably wasn't the best to go by, as well as her alter ego going by the name "Erotica Jones". Stan Lee and Pam Anderson have since admitted that marketing such a show would be impossible, despite opting for a PG-rated tone, as the name of the character would undermine the effort.

* While ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'' has had it's share of episode titles that fit this, the one that ''really'' takes the cake is ''[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS8E5GranniesGoneWild Grannies Gone Wild]]''. Just ''try'' and tell a friend or family member that you watched "Grannies Gone Wild" last night and see how they react. Though, even more disturbingly so, there actually is a scene of the grannies [[{{Squick}} sexually harassing a bellhop]]...

* In the 1960s an anarchist group formed that called themselves "Up Against the Wall Motherfuckers", mainly to frustrate news media by having an "unprintable" name.

* SHITDISCO

Some things are just hard to talk about in casual conversation. It may be because they contain an obscenity, a sexual reference, one of the InherentlyFunnyWords, or a WhosOnFirst situation (e.g., a name like That Movie or Something) but whatever the case is, saying the title usually results in an awkward pause and clearing of the throat after saying it.

Some things are just hard to talk about in casual conversation. It may be because they contain an obscenity, a sexual reference, one of the InherentlyFunnyWords, be a LongTitle, or a WhosOnFirst situation (e.g., a name like That Movie or Something) but whatever the case is, saying the title usually results in an awkward pause and clearing of the throat after saying it.

Note that this is for titles that would be awkward to mention in polite company. For titles that are actually awkward to say, see LongTitle, WordSaladTitle, WordPureeTitle, and OddlyNamedSequel2ElectricBoogaloo.

* ''I Want You to Make a Disgusted Face and Show Me Your Underwear'' (''Iya na Kao sare nagara Opantsu Misete Moraitai''), a highly NotSafeForWork LightNovel and anime which is pretty much ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin, crosses this with LongTitle.

* Math rock band Giraffes? Giraffes! is already an example, but most of their track titles are either surreal or [[LongTitle long]], usually both. The most awkward of which is most likely, "I am S/H(im)e[r] as You am S/H(im)e[r] As You Are Me And We Am I and I Are All Our Together: Our Collective Consciousness' Psychogenic Fugue."

* Why did Primitive Radio Gods end up as a OneHitWonder? Might have had something to do with the follow-up single to [[LongTitle "Standing Outside a Broken Phone Booth with Money in My Hand"]] being called "Motherfucker" (complete with several [[TitleDrop Title Drops]] in the lyrics).

** ''Music/HolyWood(IntheShadowoftheValleyofDeath)'' has "Godeatgod," "President Dead," the TitleTrack, "The Death Song," and "Kill King 33."
