Basic Trope: A word (usually a swear word) is replaced with a beep.
- Straight: Whenever Danny swears, the word is bleeped out.
- Exaggerated:
- Danny swears all the time so bleeps are common.
- Even words like "blasted" and "darn" are bleeped out.
- All of what Danny says is bleeped out.
- Downplayed: Danny swears but only part of the word (usually a vowel) is bleeped out.
- Justified: Turns out that beeps are curse words in this universe.
- Inverted:
- A constant bleep is played whenever no one is talking.
- Any word that isn't obscene is replaced with a bleep.
- Someone meddles with the censor device to censor any sort of beeping or bleeping sounds with random swears.
- Subverted:
- Danny's swears are usually bleeped out but suddenly, an uncensored word is uttered.
- After bleeping out curse words, swears are replaced with silence or other sound effect instead.
- Double Subverted:Danny: Oh, sorry! Minced my pronounciation! I meant to say (bleep)!
- Parodied:
- Danny's swears and slurs are not bleeped out but every other word is.
- Danny says F**k. He meant "Fork".
- Somebody's car alarm going off is mistaken for a Cluster F-Bomb because of this trope being in effect.
- Zig-Zagged: ???
- Averted:
- Characters swear without being bleeped out.
- Another method of censoring words is used instead.
- Enforced: Executives want to keep the show for all ages.
- Lampshaded: "Just stop with the (bleep) bleeping already!"
- Invoked: Danny is cursed by a witch to have all his swearing come out as beeps.
- Exploited: Danny subjects Fred to the grating repetitive beeping noises that are his Cluster F-Bomb as a Cool and Unusual Punishment.
- Defied: There is no cursing in the work.
- Discussed: "Unlike on TV, swear words don't come out as (bleep)ing bleeps here!"
- Conversed: "Y'know, I actually think it's funnier when they beep the swear words in this show I'm watching instead of saying it out loud..."
- Played for Laughs: Sound effects bleeping is played for a comedic effect, leaving viewers to use their imagination about what he said.
- Played for Drama: Character tries to say something important on live TV but executives bleep it out as the speech would ruin their reputation.
