---> '''Michael [to George Michael]:''' Why don't you [[RagingStiffie pop a tent in front]] [[KissingCousins with your cousin]]? It might be a good chance for you to [[ADateWithRosiePalms rub off on her.]]\\

* In "[[Recap/ArrestedDevelopmentS3E4Notapusy Notapusy]]", they managed to actually get Rita to call Michael a 'pussy' (bleeped, but still intelligible) because it was actually a British word for a kind or gentle man". [[note]]It's not, but it let them get it on the air.[[/note]]

** Tobias's condition throughout the entire episode is incredibly [[Squick gross]]. At one point, he literally has blood squirring out of his eyes! And this is a sitcom!!

%% Examples are sorted in the show's narrative order, with exceptions for jokes spanning multiple episodes and one example I haven't been able to locate (at the bottom - if you locate it and fix its position, please amend this note accordingly). Please add new examples in the correct place according to the chronology at http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Recap/ArrestedDevelopment

-->'''Gob''': Attention, everyone! Why go to a banana stand when we can make your banana stand? I give you Barbara and Dee! Don’t worry, these young beauties have been nowhere near the bananas.

* In "Bringing Up Buster", Lucille refers to Michael using the corn-baller as "cornholing".
* In "Storming The Castle", Tobias in "leather daddy" outfit tries to get to the magician's venue "Gothic Castle", but the taxi driver mishears him and drops him at an S&M club, the "Gothic Asshole". The taxi driver says the name out loud to confirm, but he gets away with it because of his thick accent.
* In "Pier Pressure", the series managed to show GOB exhaling marijuana smoke while not showing him actually taking a drag.
* In "Beef Consommé", the series actually managed to get CountryMatters aired uncensored due to turning it into a LastSecondWordSwap.

* White Power Bill meeting Tobias for the first time ("Staff Infection").

* From "The One Where They Build a House", when Lucille enters while GOB and Michael are arguing about GOB's recent purchase of a boat, ''The Seaward'':

* In a deleted scene from "Good Grief", we have this exchange when Michael realises George Michael isn't working at the Banana Stand:

* In "Sad Sack", [[spoiler:it's eventually revealed that the picture of the Iraq landscapes being used as evidence against the Bluth family, which has been shown on-screen multiple times, is actually a close-up picture of Tobias' scrotum, which he accidentally took while trying to figure out how to use his new phone.]]
* In "Afternoon Delight", we see GOB saying "--cking [[RunningGag $6300 suit!]] ''[[CatchPhrase Come on!]]''. Five minutes later, we see a flashback ending with GOB saying "No, Al, I ''want'' to spill booze all over my fu--".

* In "Righteous Brothers", while Michael is in custody for allegedly attempting to flee the country [[ItMakesSenseInContext (when it was actually Gob holding a picture of Michael in front of his face)]]:

* Maeby refers to the so-called Mrs. Featherbottom as ''Mr. Fingerbottom''. ("The Immaculate Election")

* And let’s not forget about Buster's uncensored "If mother sees this, she will blow a cow" (from "Mr. F"). [[note]]Actually, in the DVD commentary, series creator Mitch Hurwitz notes this is a little stealthy joke: The narrator points out George Senior slips by the ''sensors'' (by crawling into a duct that he had accidentally discovered behind the kitchen fridge) right before Buster utters his phrase.[[/note]]
* The first episode of the third season has one that's also a StealthPun. It's implied that Lindsay did a CheekCopy at a Bluth Company celebration. She shows Michael a picture of that, thinking it's a picture of a car she's interested in, leading to this exchange:

* When talking about the summer home on wheels ("The Cabin Show"):

* There was also the time they managed to actually get Rita to call Michael a 'pussy' (bleeped, but still intelligible) because it was actually a British word for a kind or gentle man". [[note]]It's not, but it let them get it on the air.[[/note]]

* When Michael has demonstrated concern for his mother as she prepares to seduce the prison warden ("Prison Break-In"):

* The deleted joke from "Good Grief" (season 2, above) was later reused and broadcast for real in "Making a Stand".
-->'''Gob''': Attention, everyone! Why go to a banana stand when we can make your banana stand? I give you Barbara and Dee! Don’t worry, these young beauties have been nowhere near the bananas.
* From the finale, Tobias has hired the Hot Cops (a troupe of male strippers) as entertainment for a party on a yacht.

* In "Off the Hook", Buster and Lucille 2 are talking about their relationship. The camera cuts away to a janitor in the hallway during this part of the exchange:

* In "Red Hairing", Lucille 2 reminisces about how she used to wear a wig for an old lover (later implied to be Buster):

* Tobias has many examples, including "teabagging" and "Uncle T-Bag" ("Prison Break-In", [=S3E07=]). Actually any of Tobias' unintentional double entendres qualify since they're made without the character's knowledge. This example from "The One Where Michael Leaves" ([=S2E01=]):

** or ("¡Amigos!", [=S2E03=]):

* From "The One Where They Build A House", when Lucille enters while GOB and Michael are arguing about GOB's recent purchase of a boat, ''The Seaward'':

* While Michael is in custody for allegedly attempting to flee the country [[ItMakesSenseInContext (when it was actually Gob holding a picture of Michael in front of his face)]]:
-->'''Michael:''' Since you're devastating people, why don't you go tell Gob that I'll be telling the cops that it was him in the truck, so he'll be joining me here. I've got a nice, hard cot with his name on it.\\
'''Lucille:''' You'd do that to your own brother?\\
'''Michael:''' ...I said 'cot'!
* When Michael has demonstrated concern for his mother as she prepares to seduce the prison warden:
