** ''Series/HouseOfTheDragon'': Courtesy of Princess Rhaenyra Targaryen and her husband Prince Daemon, who unusually swear in the Season 1 finale due to TheCoup of the Green faction taking them by surprise and trying to strip Rhaenyra of her succession rights by crowning her half-brother Aegon II.
--->'''Daemon:''' ''(to Otto Hightower)'' I would rather feed my sons to the dragons than have them carry shields and cups for your drunken, usurper cunt of a king.
--->'''Rhaenyra:''' ''(to Otto Hightower as well)'' You are no more the Hand than Aegon is King. Fucking traitor!

* ''Series/GameOfThrones'': Despite the show's copious sexual content and violence, characters actually are rarely heard swearing, so when one does utter, for example, the F-word,it carries more impact. Many characters never even utter anything as strong as "damn".
** The Hound's WhamLine "Fuck the King!"
** Arya Stark in "Breaker of Chains".
--->'''Arya:''' ''[to the Hound]'' You are the worst '''shit''' in the Seven Kingdoms!

** The very polite, awkward, soft-spoken Samwell Tarly in "The Watchers on the Wall":
--->'''Sam:''' Pyp! Open the fucking gate!
--->'''Pyp:''' I never heard you curse before.
--->'''Sam:''' Yes, well, best get used to it.
** Varys very rarely swears, so it's quite jarring when he does, even if he's simply quoting someone else.
** The male and female versions of the C-word are also uttered on occasion, but again very rarely.

* In a ''Haneru no Tobira'' New Year's special, during an Osharace segment, Akiko Wada accidentally said "chinko", the Japanese word for "penis", when thinking of words that began with "chi", the last letter of the word "osechi" (a special Japanese New Year's meal), and failed the challenge because the word was considered to be profane. This would happen again in another Osharace segment in another episode, where he said the same word began with the last hiragana in the word "omochi".

This would happen again in another Osharace segment in another episode, where he said the same word began with the ending letter of "omochi".

*** Season 2 has no examples, and does not particularly suffer for it.

** In Recap/StrangerThingsS3E3TheCaseOfTheMissingLifeguard, Will screams a muffled "FUCK!" as he destroys Castle Byers.

** Subverted by the season finale, where he rushes into the library in his giant snake demon form...and sees tons of C4. His last words? "Well, gosh!"

** ''Series/StarTrekDeepSpaceNine'': One episode involved the cast set as people living in pre-Civil Rights Movement New York, with Sisko working as a writer for a science fiction magazine. The word "nigger" is used once, something quite shocking for a '90s prime time show.

*** Cadet Tilly supplies the first ever canonical use of the F-word in English in "[[Recap/StarTrekDiscoveryS1E05ChooseYourPain Choose Your Pain]]":

*** In a between-seasons short, she also exclaims, "Holy shit."

*** Later, when Admiral Clancy is ''digesting'' Picard's request to be reinstated, she drops an F-bomb with real feeling behind it:

* Believe it or not, there were at least two instances in [[Series/WhatWouldYouDoNickelodeon the Nickelodeon version of ''What Would You Do?'']] (both bleeped out). One came from host Marc Summers, and he was sent to the Pie Pod for it. The other one came from a hidden camera segment in which the victims were to film a testimonial for "Stan's Cola" (for context, it was standard cola, to which they added Tabasco sauce, garlic powder, vinegar, and pickle juice). [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u2CsjzQD3iI&list=PLVc4V_MApFbWJj_aVeVDmWq2A0FhkrjR7&t=559s This guy]], who, to his credit, kept up a TV commercial announcer voice throughout, did ''not'' hold back.

--->'''Marc''': ''(starts laughing uncontrollably)'' I see. Just continue to read.
--->''(as camera pulls back to a two shot of Marc and the guy)''

* * PrecisionFStrike: A wealthy woman offers to donate to Taissa's campaign in exchange for the truth as to what ''really'' happened after the plane crash Taissa and her fellow champion soccer players were in 25 years before. Taissa refuses, and the woman tells her to watch her tone. Taissa's response?

'''Jet Set''': Bitch, my name is Jet Motha-fuckin Set! But you can call me Patric Swayze, cause guess what? I'm ghost.

* In the ''Series/{{Community}}'' episode "Intermediate Documentary Filmmaking", Pierce has been teasing Jeff about having found his DisappearedDad and having arranged a reunion for them. The normally cool and slick Jeff experiences great emotional conflict at the news, and he makes sure to tell Pierce in a deadly serious tone that he will beat him senseless if he tries to pull any "bullsh*t" on him; making it the first curse word (though bleeped) on the show.

* When ''Series/LegendsOfTheHiddenTemple'' was revived for adults in 2021, expect this to happen. Specifically during Olmec's temple descriptions, when he gets to the Shrine of the Silver Monkey, he may refer to assembling the "damn" or "damning" statue, as a possible lampshade to how frustrating the challenge can be for contestants.

* The famous PBS documentary miniseries ''Series/EyesOnThePrize'' includes a declaration by civil rights activist James Forman that "if we can't sit at the table, let's knock the fucking legs off, excuse me."

* ''Series/PoliticalAnimals'': With a BilingualBonus. After the Russian ambassador grabs Elaine Barrish's ass in the middle of a press conference, she warns him - ''in subtitled Russian'' - that if he does it again, "I will f*** your shit up!"

* ''PBS [=NewsHour=]:

** There is one simultaneously Awesome and Funny moment in Season 3 when Marcus knocks out everyone in a Downbelow dive. But the awesome line starts with an instance of GettingCrapPastTheRadar… because he uses a ''British'' swear word that isn't well-recognized in the US:

** The 2005 episode [[Recap/DoctorWhoS27E6Dalek "Dalek"]] upped the ante by featuring the human villain uttering the curse "goddamn", which [[GettingCrapPastTheRadar virtually escaped notice]] because moral guardians were more upset over a reference (in the sexual context) to "spooning" — despite the fact the only people who even knew the term anymore would likely be in their 80s or 90s by then.
