1 | '''Basic Trope''': The audience is told that what looks to be an alcoholic beverage is not. |
2 | * '''Straight''': Bob, who is TheAlcoholic, usually drinks what is clearly a beer, but thanks to pressure from the censors, he has a line describing it as root beer. |
3 | * '''Exaggerated''': |
4 | ** Bob drinks what is clearly a beer, but thanks to pressure from the censors, he has a line describing it as ''really'' dirty tap water. |
5 | ** Bob describes what year and vineyard his "grape juice" is from. |
6 | * '''Downplayed''': |
7 | ** Bob drinks what is clearly a beer, but thanks to pressure from the censors, he has a line describing it as non-alcoholic. |
8 | ** Any instances of underaged drinking are removed, but adults are still shown drinking alcohol. |
9 | ** Instead of alcoholic beverages, Bob originally drank coffee. His coffee was changed to hot chocolate due to pressure from the censors. |
10 | * '''Justified''': |
11 | ** The censors have Bob written as a teetotaller who tries very hard to hide the fact to avoid looking soft (to the point of making his soft drinks look like something harder). |
12 | ** [[TheMoralSubstitute The beverage is a children's substitute for New Year's Champaign]]. But don't tell the kids, please? |
13 | * '''Inverted''': Bob is animated drinking clear liquid from a plastic bottle, but the dub changes it to vodka even though [[NeverGetsDrunk he shows no signs of getting drunk]]. |
14 | * '''Subverted''': It's made to look like Bob's drinking's being covered up by censors, but it's later made clear it was an InUniverse lie on Bob's part to hide his drinking problem. |
15 | * '''Double Subverted''': However, the censors do insist that Bob ends up going teetotal after this, and all later instances of him drinking have this trope. |
16 | * '''Parodied''': |
17 | ** The dub has Bob drink "water", but doesn't change the fact he [[CantHoldHisLiquor plainly gets hammered]]. |
18 | ** The dub has Bob's regular bar have an additional tab labeled ''[[MoralGuardians Board of Standards and Practices water]]'' that [[BitingTheHandHumor all agree tastes terrible]]. |
19 | * '''Zig Zagged''': Bob frequently drinks beer but the dub ends up being inconsistent on what he actually supposed to be drinking. |
20 | * '''Averted''': |
21 | ** Alcohol isn't mentioned in any way. |
22 | ** Alcohol only comes up in the context of a VerySpecialEpisode in which [[AntiAlcoholAesop the characters learn about the evils of drink]] (which naturally would have to be cut or left as is in a dub). |
23 | ** Characters drink alcohol and nothing is done to censor it. |
24 | * '''Enforced''': "Hey, watch what you drink! [[{{ThinkOfTheChildren}} This is a family show]]! |
25 | * '''Lampshaded''': "Alice will never find out [[TheAlcoholic I'm actually drinking beer!]]" |
26 | * '''Invoked''': The show has NoFourthWall. Bob needs some really dirty water to defeat the MonsterOfTheWeek, so he picks up a beer to use, knowing it'll become dirty water in the dub. |
27 | * '''Exploited''': The show has NoFourthWall. Bob TheTeetotaler happily drinks beer knowing it will become something else in the dub. |
28 | * '''Defied''': "I'm sick of overbearing moral guardians. [[MediumAwareness This show]] is meant for '''teenagers''' - why don't they realize that such teenagers have probably already heard about alcohol?" |
29 | * '''Discussed''': |
30 | -->"That doesn't look like tea..."\ |
31 | "It is tea...Long Island Iced Tea!" |
32 | * '''Conversed''': "I bet that 'tea' was was beer in the original dub". |
33 | * '''Played for Drama''': The show tries to have an episode about addiction, but the censors [[ExecutiveMeddling wouldn't allow them to put alcohol in the show]], so Bob becomes [[GRatedDrug addicted to root beer]]. |
