Since there appears to be only one valid GCPR entry, we can just cut the rest of the page and move that to one example onto the main page of Wakfu.

Actually, it should be put on the main Getting Crap Past the Radar thread. We decided in the TRS thread to make the trope on-page examples only until June.

Speaking of which (this is entirely coincidental, (honest), I've just finished going through Characters/ rather earlier than I expected, and it looks like Music/ is the next biggest namespace aside from Recap/ and Main/. Guess I know what I'm starting tomorrow.

I found an example on Radar.The Adventures Of Jimmy Neutron Boy Genius that doesn't look too inappropriate and/or radar-busting:

In the episode N Men, when Cindy is made invisible and fighting Jimmy (who's been hulked up) can be seen holding his hands over his pants (implying Cindy punched down under, and considering she has super strength... that's gotta hurt). Moments later when the characters' powers drain their life force Sheen says he just "lost his bladder control." Two jokes about the same body parts pretty much within a minute, good for you, Jimmy Neutron.

Groin Attack and Toilet Humor are both not unusual for the genre. A lot of the other examples on that page look like Accidental Innuendo.

I do some cleanup and then I enjoy shows you probably think are cringe.

Someone should probably clean that page up. Several examples look like Parental Bonus and/or Demographically Inappropriate Humor.

I was going to move the one Radar.Wakfu example back to the main GCPTR page, but then I read the source.

Example:

The Sacrier Demigodess Kali appears to have a Pasty, with the rest of her possibly wearing dried blood instead of clothing.
- It actually was dried blood! Keyword: 'Was'. It ultimately had to be changed due to censorship laws.

Source:

RyF:The original Sacriers had blood marks that wasflowing on their skin, however this was a problem in many countries as well as with the series, so it was asked to be modified. That’s why in the game and in the series they have ink tattoos

The way RyF phrases it, it sounds like the change was requested before the release of the series in France, or the games in those countries with rules about blood. If that's the case, it's just an example of the radar working as intended. But I'm not familiar with Wakfu, so is there any more detailed information on this?

The Sacrier's do indeed have ink tattoos instead of blood stains. If the Sacrier goddess had dried blood in canon then the Sacrier's should have had dried blood as well. God/Goddess worshippers in the Krosmoz universe take on the qualities of the person they worship.

Oggy And The Cockroaches

The show is of French origin, so Values Dissonance is at play here. It already shouldn't exist. But anyways.

Oggy and the Cockroaches has a lot of dubious jokes, actions, and Freeze-Frame Bonus scenes (mostly due to Values Dissonance, as it is a French cartoon and most European cartoons are a bit more liberal with children's content than most American ones are/have been):

Most of the female characters are depicted as hourglass-figured beauties (much like how most of the women in Tex Avery's cartoons are depicted)...and let's not get started with the female racer in "Formula 1".
- This is not radar worthy.
There are also scenes where Oggy ends up getting injured in the groin. Examples: "Upside Down" and "Welcome to Paris".
- Groin Attack jokes aren't radar worthy.
Jack briefly spying on a prepossessing woman in "Oggy and the Giant Roaches", who is only seen in silhouette. Furthermore, Oggy catches him in the act and tries to see what he's looking at, only to look into the wrong house and think he was admiring a male bodybuilder's physique.
- This seems kind of harmless. I've seen plenty of kids cartoons do this kind of joke, and they didn't even try to hide this one.
In "Happy Birthday", Jack gets mad at Oggy for messing up his glass tower. This ends up DRIVING OGGY TO SUICIDE and the rest of the episode is based around Jack trying to thwart his attempts. In fairness, most of these are fairly non fatal or silly, such as trying to fire himself into a target that reads "HAPPY BIRTHDAY" with a large piece of elastic.
- Maybe should be moved to Nightmare Fuel or Fridge Horror.
In "Olivia", Oggy stops watering his grass and looks over his hedge to see Olivia for the first time, at which point his hose points upward and starts spraying water.
- This seems like it qualifies.
In "(Un)Happy Camper", there's a brief shot of a picture of a topless woman with rather prominent breasts and nipples in Oggy and Olivia's trailer. It was finally noticed by a kid, and not only did the entire episode ended up being banned from future airings in the U.S., but the show was soon canceled by Nickelodeon and sent to sister channel Nicktoons TV instead. The video of the episode on the official Oggy channel removes this in favor of a landscape photo.
- This is radar-worthy. Holy jesus.
In "Jack-in-a-Box", the roaches turn into anal thermometers in the end.
- Can we get a source on this for confirmation?
In "Oggy And The Magic Smile", Oggy goes into a joke shop and ends up causing havoc by accidentally knocking down a pile of fake eyes and getting his finger stuck in a Chinese finger trap, causing him to knock down more merchandise. After the manager catches on, he tries to leave. At this point, A pedobear doll can be seen above a statue of Boba Fett
Jack's profile in the show's official Flash website (circa 2009) has the third picture involving him being on Monica, in bed, and they're both smiling. It's clear that he seems to be having sex with her.
- Probably radar worthy.

I suspect the Pedobear doll one might be something like Parental Bonus or DIH, cuz there's no way an average (well-adjusted) kid would recognize it. MAD also referenced the meme for some goddamn reason.

Yeah, move that to Demographically Inappropriate Humor.

That probably depends on when it was made. IIRC, the makers of Batman: The Animated Series knew Poison Ivy kicking Joker in the crotch wouldn't fly, so they shot it in a way that made it look like she was kicking him in the stomach.

Let's take a look at Radar.My Gym Partners A Monkey:

The page

My Gym Partner's a Monkey is no stranger to the trend of sneaking adult jokes into their show. Gym Partner's reliance on butt jokes, paves the way for what's to expect from their adult oriented comedy. The show has a knack for getting away with all of this, but one notable moment of them getting busted, was when the episode "The Butt of The Jake" was banned from syndication, for the seemingly innocent butt jokes being seen as a bit too "suggestive" for the child's eye. If you wanna know more information about this little incident, it's all here in the manual, so go on ahead and give this list a good read.

There's a kid-friendly one in the opening sequence.
Adam: Bullshark, porcupine, I don't know what. Going to this school's a pain in the-
Jake: ADAM!
Adam: What? I was gunna say "neck".
Jake: Oh, that's okay then.

Demographically Inappropriate Humor

Given the diverse cast of human and animal blending, there's bound to be character romances that allude to bestiality. For example, Ingrid Giraffe's crush on the human Adam Lyon, or Nurse Gazelle dressing like a cute schoolgirl and being portrayed as "attractive", leading to furry fanservice. Sure, it's completely unintentional. It meant nothing at the time, but nowadays with the rise of cartoon furry fetishists going around, these elements of the show are goldmines of inspiration Rule 34 fanart pictures and NSFW bestiality fanfictions. Just because people corrupted these things doesn't make them radar.
Jake Spidermonkey, a teenage boy, is obsessed with the size of his butt. What does this remind you of? This is just an innuendo at best.
Slips Python is a stoner. There's just no denying that. Yes, and?
In "Chew on This", for a brief moment during Adam's visit to Nurse Gazelle's office, we can see Nurse Gazelle removing a rectal thermometer from Adam's butt. Also in hindsight, Gazelle had no reason to do that, since Adam only saw her because he felt light headed. Toilet Humor at best.
- After all the characters have become morbidly obese, Principal Pixiefrog says "Our medical bills are going to be astronomical." Nurse Gazelle then replies with the aside comment, "That's not the only thing that's astronomical." Cut to a booty shot of Principal Pixiefrog's "astronomical butt", riding on a bicycle. More butt jokes.
The episode titled "The "A" Word". ?
- It's actually "Ape", but the way the word is treated in that episode is sort of, but not really similar to how The N Word is used, with Adam offending Jake by using the word "Ape". It doesn't go all the way, though, since In the end, it turns out "ape" is the nicest compliment one can use in the simian community, and Jake was just jealous Adam used it against someone else and not him. So...this is a whole bunch of nothing, then.
In "Amazon Kevin", Lupe was in fear and exclaimed "It's happened! We've all died and gone to the bad place!" This show does avert Never Say "Die", but...is that radar worthy?
In "Supplies Party", Adam had to hide his animal friends from his human friends at his birthday, so he quickly came up with an off-the-cuff fake party game, which he called "drag your friends to the closet", which had a concept, that was suspiciously similar to 7 minutes in heaven. Not similar enough, though.
In "She's Koala That", The Pack (except Adam) takes a beeline for a specific lunch table, just to get away from Deidre Koala. They all pile up onto one chair. When they do, a visual gag involves Jake clearly shoving himself up Windsor's ass. More butt jokes.
In "Political Animals", Jake urges Adam to wear a football helmet, for his campaign speech, for safety purposes. Adam refuses to do this, seeing no reason to and Jake negotiates with him. Jake pleads to Adam, that at the very least, he wears a cup. Oh, and they actually show it on screen too, technically allowing showing an intentionally phallic object in a kids show. Hmm...this might be keepable.
Pixiefrog: Hey, where's your helmet?
Adam: What?
Jake: No worries, Principal Pixiefrog, he's sporting a cup.
Pixiefrog: Ah, very well then.
- As it turned out, the reason Adam was required to wear a helmet was because The winner of the presidential campaign would get chased down by an angry mob of his citizens, fighting with him. So, if Adam needed to wear a cup ... Groin Attacks aren't Radar.
In "Two Tons of Fun", Adam and Jake are curious to learn about animal mating rituals. So, they look into an encyclopedia about it. They apparently see a picture and they both scream and look away in disgust. Demographically Inappropriate Humor
- Mr. Hornbill wanted to woo Mrs. Tusk, by giving her a "Rhino Pie". (In Rhinoceros Culture, giving one's feces to another can be done as a romantic gesture or an invitation to mate). Unsurprisingly, Mrs. Tusk found this disgusting and rejected the box of unseen poop, emitting stink lines. To make things even worse, at the end of the episode, Jake said that what he learned from today's experience, was that whipped cream doesn't make rhino pie taste any better, as he licked some whipped cream off his lips. Yeah, they straight out made it official that Jake had eaten shit. Toilet Humor.
Speaking of coprophagia, a major plot point in "Guano in 60 Seconds" was Jake eating bat guano. Again, toilet humor.
In "Up All Night", if one looks closely in the background, during certain scenes. There is a picture on the wall of Adam as a baby, pointing to a visible turd floating in the toilet. The picture is labeled "Baby's First", implying that these are photos of Adam's first time pooping in the toilet. seriously look. More toilet humor.
- While the boys acted like girls, throwing a slumber party, Adam quoted after his facial, "I feel fresh as a daisy". huh?
In "I Got a New Aptitude", the opening lyric of the episode's musical number was "What's the point of going on?", a common phrase uttered, by those contemplating suicide. This only fits the sad tone of Adam and Jake feeling depressed, under the assumption that their lives are leading up to nothing. Seems too subtle.
In "Poop Scoop", Adam spreads false news, which turns out to be true, about Jake's butt having "cheek implants". Butt jokes and DIH.
In "The Magic Fish", Coach Gills nauseates Adam with going on a tangent about being an early bloomer as a teenager and telling him to imagine how she would've looked at that time. DIH?
In "Ain't Too Proud to Egg", Mr. Hornbill showed the class an egg and asked if anyone could tell him what it was. Slips guessed "A constant reminder on why to stay in school?" Snakes lay eggs, when giving birth, making this the equivalent of a teen pregnancy joke. DIH, also why the unnecessary explanation of snakes laying eggs?
Though probably an accidental innuendo, in "Uniformity", Adam and Dickie (note the latter's name), used a Totem Pole Trench to go in disguise as a postal delivery man. With Adam on top, Dickie stuck his head out of the trench coat to talk to him. Given Dickie's short stature, he was located in a very penile region of the duo's false character. Adam would even look down at him and say "Dickie, Get back in there before anyone sees you!" Just an Accidental Innuendo, or even just a normal innuendo.
In "The Little Mermonkey", there was an accidental Mondegreen, where Jake intended to say "Adam's got a crab", but due to a voice acting mishap that apparently no one noticed, it sounded like "Adam's gotta crap." The reactions of the rest of the pack made it even more hilarious. Just a misspoken line.
In "Sidekicked", Mrs. Warthog informs Slips, Adam, and Ingrid on how every animal species does something different. She then mentions that male seahorses give birth, which cuts to a shocked male seahorse student at the school, fainting. Seems passable enough, but in the episode's Stinger, this same seahorse was seen, pushing a carriage of his baby seahorses, making for another teen pregnancy joke. More DIH.
The entirety of the episode "Flesh Fur Fantasy", seemed to be a metaphor for Blackface comedy. ZCE.'
- Also, Windsor had students draw nude pics of him in his "human" suit. DIH.
In "Don't Noc It 'Til You Try It", a bunch of vandalism was spray painted on the wall of the school. One of them read the word "PORK!" in all capital letters. "Pork" is sometimes used as a slang term for "have sex with", in other words "fuck". Yeah, I'm sure that's what it meant. Not, you know...the animal meat.
- This can be seen as Truth in Television, since in real life, it's almost impossible to go to the back alley or bathroom stall of a middle or high school, without seeing some kind of spray-painted shock scenery. mmkay.
In "The Citronella Solution", everyone was getting sprayed with citronella gasses. When Slips got sprayed, he started getting dazed and said "Oh, dude! That's some powerful stuff, man!", something that a stoner like him would say after smoking a batch of some crazy new drug, they all gotta try, man. Eh. DIH at best.
In "Mellow Fellows", Mr. Mandrill installed a bunch of ridiculous applications to his office. One of which was a flaming pit in the ground, containing a barbaric monster. The name of this place was "Hellgarvadar". The word "Hell" is considered usable in biblical contexts.
In "The Frog Principal", Pixiefrog begins to give Adam and Jake a lecture on the dangers of kissing and misleads them into thinking he's going to give them a little PSA on safe-sex. DIH.
Pixiefrog: Kissing. You guys may think it's harmless, but do you know what kissing can lead to?
Adam: Uh ... don't we need a permission slip for this conversation to continue?
Pixiefrog: Warts!
In "The Butt of the Jake", (the episode was banned but not for this reason so it still counts), when Jake's butt inflated so big it eclipsed the sun, a Catholic nun was shown on screen as one of its witnesses, exclaiming "Good gracious children! An eclipse!" Usually, religious references are strictly prohibited in non-religious children's programming. If this is true it might be keepable, but the episode didn't even air.
- Not to mention the show made an "ahead of its time" joke, which today, could be perceived as a satirical jab at SJWs, where one of the people witnessing Jake's giant butt is a coffee shop hipster on his laptop, getting offended by what he sees. This show's from 2005. Just because people now might think of these things, doesn't make it radar.
Guy #1: Wow! Look at the size of that thing!
Guy #2: It's beautiful!
Guy #3: It's amazing!
Hipster Blogger: I find it offensive.
- This episode was banned because the network described it as being "Too Butt Filled", but that's normal for a MGPAM episode, so why'd this one get the boot? Well, the elephant in the room has to be the scene, which makes a reference to anal insertion, when Jake sits on his head at the lunch table and drinks soda through his butt. Butt = Filled, indeed. But other episodes had this too, right? And it obviously didn't get pass the radar.
In "The Ivy League", Mrs. Warthog posted extremely disturbing sexy bikini pictures of herself on the internet. "Extremely Disturbing?" Anyway, bikini pictures aren't Radar.
In "The Notorious Windsor Gorilla", one scene parodies Inside the Actors Studio, with Principal Pixiefrog as James Lipton. Naturally, he asks Windsor the "10 Questions" and of course, the one we see is "What is your favorite naughty word?" Windsor responded by pounding his chest and making loud and primal ape noises, which apparently translates to something offensive in gorilla language. This is about as radar-worthy of that one Spongebob episode. Which is to say, it's not at all, since again, Spongebob got away with it to a worse extent.
In "Glazed and Confused", a one-off joke involves Adam wearing cloth around his head, holding a tombstone in one hand, and Jake's tail (bent into the shape of a cane) in another, made to look like Moses. Oh...no? Is this another "Religion Not Appropriate" one?
- There's also the scene with Adam being forced to put lotion on Jake's butt, which just seems downright wrong. Toilet Humor. Butt Humor.
- The audience was also given an unwanted callback to Mrs. Warthog's bikini pictures from "The Ivy League". This time, a bunch of drooling men took interest in them and wanted to meet her in real life, with the intent of "eating her for dinner". DIH
Bull's flamboyant, effeminate, fashion loving behavior in "Hygiene Hijinks" is similar to a that of a stereotypical homosexual's. Are non-explicit gay characters radar? Or rather, were they in 2005?
In "Mandrill of the House", Windsor was already traumatized by the idea of Mr. Mandrill dating his mother. However, Mr. Mandrill felt the need to kick him while he was down, while teaching health class and gave him a lesson about "Monkey Love". DIH at best.
- At the end of the episode, Mr. Hornbill exclaims "Oh, fudge munch." Again, jokes about swearing with no actual cursing isn't radar.
In "Synch or Swim", Jake butt-bombed into the water, and Coach Gills, dreading the impending big splash he was about to cause, looked up at him in great pain and said "Oh, Carp." DIH.
In "Lyon's Anatomy", Nurse Gazelle, an at least 20 year old adult had a crush on the 11-12 year old Adam Lyon. Creepy, but is it actually radar?
- Another beautiful bit of dialogue involved Ingrid calling Nurse Gazelle a "homewrecker", when she realized she was trying to "move in on her man".
In "Human Behavior", the chalkboard in Mr. Beaver's classroom had "Dam Building Midterm" written on it. ...Beavers build dams. It's not a pun on the word "Damn". Evevn if it is, that's DIH at best.
In "Animal School Musical" Adam gets hit in his "lower stomach area" when it's pretty clear where the ball actually hit him. Groin Attack Not Radar.
- Later on, when Ingrid starts forcefully kissing Henry Armadillo dressed as Adam Henry says he's feeling funny in his lower stomach area. DIH.
- Oh, and let's not forget how in the finale song, we got a beautiful shot of Jake Spidermonkey shooting a rainbow out of his ass. More butt jokes.
The episode "Where in the World Are Adam's Parents?" does a plot, where people assumed Adam had killed his parents, already making for an extremely dark concept for a kid show. There's even a scene, where Adam's house is covered in ketchup, and a comedic footstool, with realistic human feet is seen, lying down behind his couch, giving off the impression that Adam really did just murder his parents right there on the spot. Spongebob and other shows got away with worse or similar.
- Not to mention the episode ended with a one-off gag, involving Adam burping up a human bone. So, revealed Adam was a murderous cannibal and simply passed it off as an end of episode joke. Black Comedy.
In "Knights of the Multiplication Table", the final boss in the knights' adventure, was "Jake Dragonmonkey", a Medieval villain based off of butt-obsessed character, Jake Spidermonkey. To help commit to the "butt" theme, Dragonmonkey's cave was designed to look like a giant butt. Guess where the entrance was located. Butt humor.
- Scenes from this episode included Jake Dragonmonkey coming out of the cave, and later Sir Chauncy running in and back out again. Yeah, I would assume they used the cave.
As for another religious reference, in "A Thanksgiving Carol", during the Thanksgiving play, teachers were seen praying at the table. At this point, it's doubtful that the religion was a big deal if the show got away with it multiple times.
In "A Whole Zoo World", Jake shows a crudely drawn nude picture of Principal Pixiefrog, laying down in a leaf, with his butt sticking out. This may have been a somewhat innocent joke at the time, but nowadays, it's eerily reminiscent of a recurring trend in cartoon fanart. Innocent jokes don't become radar retroactively.
- Also, anyone else see the innuendo, in this specific scene. Adam Lyon, a 12 year old boy, was standing out by the road, all by himself, with neither parents or any adults in sight. A sketchy looking clown car drives up and out comes a big, burly, unshaven guy in a clown outfit, telling him to get in. Creepy, but...not radar.
- Lupe uses the term "Shizzle", using it as a slang term for "Sure". This was accidental, but "Shizzle" is currently accepted by Dictionary.com, as an informal term with two definitions. One as slang for "Sure", and the second as a euphemism for "Shit". Can't blame the dialogue writers for not noticing this, though. Not only is "inappropriate slang", completely subjective, but every adult has trouble keeping up with the fancy new words, being tossed around by da yooths. I love the tangent this one goes on. In addition to it being unintended slang.
In the short "I Got Rhythm", students have to pair up with partners for dancing. Jake wants to be paired up with Adam, but Adam says that they can't dance together, "Because they're both boys." Jake shames him for his intolerant ways. Gay joke.
Adam: We can't be partners, Jake. We're both boys.
Jake: Well, good luck finding a partner with that attitude.
In the short, "Clam-Mercial", Windsor uses a pocket clam as a thighmaster. The camera shows a close up of Windsor squeezing a clam open and shut between his legs, making for a rather yonic image. A rather...what image?

I don't know what the standards for Cartoon Network shows were back in the 2000's, but I doubt things like butt jokes, death jokes and religious references were big deals if the radar let it go on for multiple seasons.

I'd like to speak to the person who thought My Gym Partner's a Monkey was a "goldmine" for Rule 34.

(I recall this show's Ho Yay page being really weirdly bloated, so I suspect there must be an Entry Pimp who thinks the show is more adult than it is.)

(Another sidenote: do people really think Political Correctness Gone Mad is only as old as the "SJW" stereotype? It's at least as old as the Vietnam War and hipster culture in general.)

(One more sidenote: "yonic" means "vaginal." Probably an Accidental Innuendo though.)

Radar.True And The Rainbow Kingdom only has this, and it doesn't look that good:

In "True Switcheroo", True, a female, and Bartleby, a male, switch bodies. Bartleby even makes sure to verbally bring attention to the fact that he's become a girl.
- Later, in the same episode, Grizelda and Frookie switch bodies, and Frookie in Grizelda's body proceeds to scoot her butt across the ground in full view during a close up shot.

Re My Gym Partner's a Monkey, it looks like "bums are funny" might be a trope we don't have yet. I've made a TLP with those examples.

Good idea.

So, is there anything to salvage on that page? The cup thing, maybe?

Alright I'm going through Whose Line Is It Anyway?. Original was TV PG, couldn't find anything on the current. Hopefully I'm doing this right, this is my first Radar write-up. This is also going under the assumption that innuendo is not allowed, as stated by the main page. Here's the examples:

The examples

Pretty much the whole point of "If You Know What I Mean." Ironically, the crap that doesn't get past the radar has drawn some of the biggest laughs. ^note The fact that Whose Line was on ABC Family, a channel founded and co-owned by Pat Robertson, makes all this innuendo even funnier.
"That's never gonna make it to air, if you know what I mean..." Examples Are Not General
- Though that one refers to Brad saying "two-hundred pound snatch", which actually made it to air the first time and was bleeped out on all subsequent airings. The reason it made it to air is because a "snatch" is a legitimate name for a weightlifting exercise, which Brad helpfully mimes right after he says it. "Crap" in question did not get past the radar, judging by the censorship.
From "Scenes from a Hat," the recurring "Things you can say about X but not your girlfriend" suggestion, and some one-time ideas like "Things that sound dirty, but aren't," which the players went to town with. Examples Are Not General for the first paragraph
- "Things you can say about the food you eat, but not your girlfriend."
  Greg: Mmm! My God, this is juicy! Innuendo, doesn't count
- One that has surprisingly never been censored initially has "Things you can say to your dog but not your girlfriend" and Colin stands forward, positions himself as though talking to a dog and says "Come!" Innuendo, doesn't count
  - And he doesn't just SAY it, he makes the "C'mere" gesture with his hand. Still innuendo
Changed Letter would also be perverted into this at times. "Wayne's got a fig old futt!"
"Nice genis."\\ More innuendo, ditto for the following two

"You weren't out shooting any... male deer?"
"Can I borrow a... dollar?"

During a playing of Film, TV & Theater Styles, the next style was "horror." Ryan looked at Kathy and said, "You mean you two aren't married? You whore," playing up the fact that "whore" and "horror" sound so much alike if you don't enunciate. Amazingly, "whore" was left uncensored. Depends on if "whore" is allowed in a TV PG rated show. Is it?
- Perhaps because of this, a later playing of "Greatest Hits" had Drew heavily enunciate "Songs of Horror," which Ryan and Colin exaggerated to the point of absurdity. Innuendo, doesn't count.
Colin: Are you saying that every song on this compilation has to do with hor-ror??
On at least one occasion, Drew was able to flip off Ryan, using his blazer as a cover. Maybe legit, I don't think flipping people off is allowed in a TV-PG show.
Possibly the most blatant case ever was during one session of "Hollywood Director" where the first suggestion was "do it like you're college girls going wild at Mardi Gras." The end result was certainly Brain Bleach-worthy. Innuendo
Greg during a "Scenes From a Hat" round for "Anecdotes dogs would tell if they appeared on talk shows": "Yeah, I'm Drew Carey's dog. And, uh, you know, right around eleven o'clock he breaks out the peanut butter and I know what's comin'!" This one actually made it to air, surprisingly enough (assuming you understand to what they're referring). Innuendo
This example, from a "Hollywood Director" where Ryan played a gas station attendant: Innuendo
Ryan: Would you like me to fill 'er up?
Kathy Greenwood: (impatiently) I've said yes to that question fifteen times!
Ryan: How 'bout the car?
In "Daytime Talk Show" with guest Jerry Springer: Innuendo
Ryan: Jerry, before we start, can I rub Drew's head?
(Beat)
Jerry: Yeah, go ahead.
(Ryan does so and sits back down)
Jerry: (to Colin) You wanna rub the other one? (Colin turns him down)
On the UK version, in one game of "Hey You Down There", Ryan and Colin pretend to fly a small plane. Ryan ends up pretending to be on fire. Colin pretends to urinate on him to extinguish it. Greg as the narrator says, "That's using your head!". Don't know about UK ratings. Help?
One game of "Helping Hands" has Drew gamely stepping in to swallow what Colin normally shoves into Ryan's mouth, which in this case was calamine lotion (a whitish fluid normally used to treat rashes). Pretty strictly external use only, so Drew spat it out immediately, leading to: Innuendo
Ryan: Every night I dream of seeing you do that!
In a game of "Press Conference", Colin was The Tin Man announcing he and Dorothy are having a child. At one point, Wayne asks "So I'm assuming this was post-heart?" To which Colin says "Oh, absolutely. Before, it... just couldn't happen. But once I had the heart on..." Innuendo
The second episode with just Jeff Davis and no guest in the second revival series. From Wayne making a Running Gag out of hiding under the desk, with Aisha no less, to Wayne and Jeff's verses in the Hoedown. Examples Are Not General
In a game of "Living Scenery" in the CW reboot, Ryan and Colin go ice-fishing. Ryan makes Wayne lie face-down as the ice, then cuts a hole over his butt to make an "ice-hole" and refers to it as often as he can. Innuendo
In a game of "Hollywood Director" in the CW series, Ryan and Jeff are cleaning the bells in Notre-Dame when they are attacked by Quasimodo (played by Wayne). They make sound effects for the bells, and Wayne swings in from a bell with a "Dong!" sound. Innuendo and subtext
Ryan: "Did you see the size of that dong? It was huge!"
Jeff: "Perhaps it is true, what they say about black hunchbacks."
- Wayne then mimes throwing his penis over his shoulder in such a way that it can also be construed as pulling a rope over his shoulder to ring a large bell, and does it again along with the "Dong!" sound effect later in the game. Innuendo
One "Let's Make a Date" had Wayne as Frankenstein's Monster organizing a party, and he found a lady from the audience who's Hell-Bent for Leather, particularly the very close fitting pants. Then he gets her to crouch down low as part of a gag - and suddenly goes "ohh yeahh" in the middle of his Hulk Speak. Innuendo
"Scenes from a Hat" takes on "Pickup lines in the hardware store", leading to this gem: Innuendo
Wayne: You look like a lady who could use some caulk in her life...
Brad: My tiles are black, do you have any black caulk?
Colin and Ryan making the letter "h".
One "Greatest Hits" in 2020 about plastic surgery immediately went in this direction, with Wayne and Chip doing a song about getting your nose reworked until it looks like a penis. Don't know the rating for the new one, but if it is TV-PG it may be valid, depending on if "penis" is allowed to be said in a TV-PG program.
Ryan: My uncle had a penis on his face. (Beat) Little cockeyed.

The page appears to be mostly innuendo. Help with the others? What should be done to the page? How did I do with this write-up?

The Ratings dont't say anything specific about rude gestures. As it's written, it sounds like infrequent uses of the finger probably fall within TV-PG.

On the UK version, in one game of "Hey You Down There", Ryan and Colin pretend to fly a small plane. Ryan ends up pretending to be on fire. Colin pretends to urinate on him to extinguish it. Greg as the narrator says, "That's using your head!". Don't know about UK ratings. Help?

Broadcast TV in the UK does not have age ratings; only videos, DVDs, and films in cinemas do. Anything particularly raunchy is supposed to be broadcast after watershed, which I think Whose Line was. Content is regulated by Ofcom, but they only get involved if somebody makes a complaint after the fact.

Though that one refers to Brad saying "two-hundred pound snatch", which actually made it to air the first time and was bleeped out on all subsequent airings. The reason it made it to air is because a "snatch" is a legitimate name for a weightlifting exercise, which Brad helpfully mimes right after he says it. "Crap" in question did not get past the radar, judging by the censorship.

This one seems legit. If it was uncensored the first time and bleeped on subsequent broadcasts, it sounds like it did get past the radar that one time.
