Getting Crap Past the Radar cleanup

I'm not sure if the scene even counts as twerking. It's at most supposed to be a funny dancing. It's not sexualized at all.

Found this bad example on Anime.Pokemon Jirachi Wish Maker.

• Getting Crap Past the Radar: Diane's scream as she saves Butler from the False!Groudon. It doesn't help that she was captured by False!Groudon's tentacles.

It doesn't have enough context even if it were a valid example, since it doesn't explain how this scene violates the rating standards of the work. Cut.

"It's Occam's Shuriken! If the answer is elusive, never rule out ninjas!"

So “someone screaming after being captured by a tentacle” means it’s hentai now?

Nuke it from orbit.

“Now! Let us engage in the art of deduction!”

Regular Show often had some more adult jokes, but I'm not sure if any were necessarily meant to deceive censors.

I think most of Regular Show's examples are valid. The show's got some surprising risque humor based on Cartoon Network's standards. ("But it's TV-PG!" A TV-PG on Cartoon Network is not the same as a TV-PG on Fox or MTV. Every network has its own Standards and Practices department that subjectively applies the ratings.)

I don't think the word 'turd' counts as radar-dodging, though.

"A buddy is a buddy no matter how nutty."

I agree on both.

To restart this thread, I think Film.How The Grinch Stole Christmas needs to be looked at. Here are the examples:

• Getting Crap Past the Radar: Not nearly as many as the second live action film adaptation of a Seuss work, but still some rather noticeable examples:
  • The flashback to the baby Grinch being delivered appears to take place at a key party. It could also be a drunk driving joke, which is equally inappropriate.
  • "Hey, honey! Our baby's here! ...He looks just like your boss."
  • The Grinch cleavage-diving May — and she likes it.
  • "Now pucker up and kiss it, Whoville!"
  • The Mayor kissing Max's rear.
  • In a blink it and you miss it bit of dialogue, when the old ladies dress the Grinch up in his Holiday attire, he says, "Don't touch me there!"
  • During his angry monologue to the Whos, the Grinch explicitly says "I could hang myself with all the bad Christmas ties" he gets.
  • In the extended version, Nogoff, a part of the Whobilation where the Grinch has to guzzle a load of egg nog, which is suspiciously reminiscent of challenges where people are dared to chug down an entire alcoholic beverage in one sitting.
  • Late in the movie, the Grinch along with Cindy Lou, as they ride down to Whoville to bring everyone's presents back, says this line:
  Grinch: The sun is bright, and the powder's bitchin'!
  • A mild, blink-and-you'll-miss-it moment: While choosing a Whobilation outfit, The Grinch rips off his 'not a dress', and he's wearing a lace garter around his thigh.

He/His/Him. No matter who you are, always Be Yourself.

The movie was PG, back when PG actually meant something. "Bitchin" is a common word in a PG flick. Now if he said say... "Fuckin'" then yes that would count but the fact is most of what is done in the film is in line with what another PG show The Simpsons would do.

Right, so should I cut it?

He/His/Him. No matter who you are, always Be Yourself.

Yes, go ahead.

For the first one, I don't see how a drunk driving joke would be just as inappropriate as a joke about sex.

EDIT: Found some example that I don't think apply.

• Inverted with Dr. Seuss books. For instance, in Hop on Pop, Dr. Seuss included a line "When I read I am smart / I always cut whole words apart. / Con Stan Tin O Ple, Tim Buk Too / Con Tra Cep Tive, Kan Ga Roo." to make sure his publisher was actually reading the manuscript. (He was, and the line was changed, as Seuss planned)

The crap never got past the radar in the first place, so it doesn't count.

• A Series of Unfortunate Events: You have to be really sharp to catch this one, but in Book the Fifth, the three siblings are forced to work as a secretary (Sunny) and study an impossibly vast amount of material for a test (Violet and Klaus). At one point while Sunny is frustrated with her work (making staples by hand), she says "Merd" as an exclamation of frustration. It's awfully close to "merde", which is French for excrement.

Well, most of the children reading the book don't speak French.

• There's a chapter from one of the books that starts out with a discussion of French phrases. One of the phrases ol' Snicket gives as an example is "la petite mort" which he translates, quite literally, as "the feeling you have when a small part of you has died." He doesn't bother to give the more common usage of the term - slang for having an orgasm!

See above. Maybe this example counts, tho.

• In book #13, Count Olaf quotes "Man hands on misery to man/it deepens like a coastal shelf/get out as early as you can/and don't have any kids yourself," from Philip Larkin's "This Be the Verse." The opening line of the full poem is "They fuck you up, your mum and dad." What was the target age group for these books again?

Well, Count Olaf doesn't say those words. This falls under Parental Bonus.

• Also, the fact that in the last one, the coconut cordial is made by fermentation, has a 'strange, strong' taste to it, and contains "an opiate". Snicket was OK mentioning alcohol before - Olaf had a ton at the carnival - but here the children are drinking it! Even Sunny Baudelaire!

This is also a maybe.

The Loud House seems like another example of pages whose examples are moreso Parental Bonus than actually trying to deceive censors.

"Most of the children reading the book don't speak French" doesn't disqualify it from being Getting Crap Past the Radar. I agree that the other Dr. Seuss and "This Be the Verse" ones are misuse, though.

Actually, I think the Dr. Seuss one is a valid inverted example. He wasn't trying to sneak it past the radar, he was testing to see if the radar functions properly, and it did. That sounds like a legit inversion to me, and I'm usually the first to read "inverted example" as code for "shoehorned misuse."

It reminds me of the Good Will Hunting example on Censor Decoy, so maybe it should be moved there? Or is that example misuse?

Keet cleanup

Censor Decoy is about including things to get caught by the censor in order to sneak something else in, so the Seuss example wouldn't fit there.

Not sure what to do with the Good Will Hunting entry. It's a cool piece of trivia, but it doesn't fit neatly in either page.

Any valid examples on Radar.The Loud House?

See, here's the thing. TLH is made by someone who worked on Spongebob and Fairly Odd Parents and those shows definitely have at least a few examples. I haven't really seen much of the show. Could you post some examples so the uninformed can have an idea of what they might be like?

Looking at the page, several of the examples seem to be more Parental Bonus.

The Sponge Bob Movie Sponge Out Of Water's radar page is questionable.

• As the Invincibubble, SpongeBob tells everyone to get ready for "some serious aft-kicking here!"^note An aft is the backside of a boat.
  • Near-swearing is not the same as swearing.
• Squidward sliding and flailing on the lower back of the sunbathing woman is a little...suggestive.
  • No, it really isn't.
• At one point during the film, Plankton suggests that post-apocalyptic Bikini Bottom should be renamed to "Dirty Bottom". SpongeBob does a bit of Lampshading there.
  • Bikini Bottom is dirty so Plankton calls it Dirty Bottom. Not much more to it.
• The scene with the ice cream girl is suggestive, to say the least. However, it appeared only in the trailers and TV spots.
  • Since this is a Zero Contest Example, I'll recount what I remember: Patrick stares at a girl and asks "Where have you been all my life?" He then jumps on to the ice cream cone she's holding and starts eating it. And if it didn't make it to the actual movie, does it even count? Then it didn't get past the radar. It's not like the scene is inappropriate anyways.
• During the Rap Battle, one of the seagulls swears, which is censored by a bar and dolphin noise.
  • This one is plausible, but again, it's censored and they don't actually say it. It's easy to work out from the context ("We're in no mood to hear [censored] from you!"), but kids won't get it.
• Plankton's code name for Karen earlier in the film is "laptop", to which she considers demeaning.
  • I have a hard time imagining how this counts. Karen is a computer and laptops are less powerful than computers (particularly Karen), so of course she'd find it insulting.

Thoughts? I think this page can go.

The things in my dreams wish they could chase me!

The first thing could probably go under Genius Bonus or Parental Bonus.

Animal Crossing is mostly Parental Bonus, though I would argue that the uncensored statues count as Radar. That's definitely not something you'd expect in an E-rated game. (I have no idea what the ESRB's standards are on naked statues.)

"A buddy is a buddy no matter how nutty."

Opinions on Radar.Harry Potter? The description gives off the impression that most of the examples are Parental Bonus.

I put The Loud House on the cut list, but it was declined.
