Should examples for advertisements for products and services not legally obtainable by minors be cut from GCPTR such as beer?

[up]Most of those are probably from a time when censors allowed that thing so I don't know if we'll have many of those. Advertising seems to be lax in terms of pre-screening for censorship.

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

Probably should have asked this when I first brought them up in April, but is there anything salvageable on Radar.Xiaolin Showdown or Radar.Xiaolin Chronicles? I mentioned before that most of the examples were likely shoehorns, and Vampire Buddha pointed out some other stuff that didn't count, I just don't know whether or not it's safe to cut the pages.

     Xiaolin Showdown 
  • From the episode "Bird of Paradise":
    Jack Spicer: If anybody deserves the Bird, it's me!
    • Likewise, from "Year of the Green Monkey":
    Omi: Now, if you all will kindly look away, I feel the urge to scratch in a place that I have never scratched before!
    [Various monkey noises and oohing and oh yeahing accompanied by shots of the others face-faulting, including Wide Eyes and Shrunken Irises, Head-Tiltingly Kinky, and Clay covering Kimiko's eyes with his hat.]
  • From the episode "The New Order", after a battle with Chase's jungle cats that are now under Jack's control:
    Clay: Well it's not too bad, most of the Wu are still here.
    Raimundo: Not too bad? It was a disaster! I got cat spit in places that I don't even like to think about!!
  • A rather stealthy one, in "The Emperor Scorpion Strikes Back", one of Jack's Ring Of Nine Dragons clones is a donkey. A jackass.
  • Omi's Blunt Metaphors Trauma can do this sometimes.
    Omi: I am in heat!
    Raimundo: No, Omi, you're "on fire"!
  • In "The Demon Seed," Master Fung, Dojo, Kimiko, and Clay get turned into plants. While Raimundo and Omi are tending to them, Omi grabs some kind of apple from Clay's belt area and eats it, causing the horrified cowboy to protest, "Be careful what you go pluckin' there, partner!"
  • In "Treasure of the Blind Swordsman", the Blind Seer guarding it has a tendency to mishear things.
    Blind Seer: (captured) Hold on! Where are you taking me? I have to use the bathroom!
    Wuya: (To Jack) What about the treasure chest?
    Blind Seer: What? That's disgusting!! (Beat) ...you talking to me?
  • "In The Flesh" has a really subtle one in which Omi, sitting behind Kimiko, has a wide grin on his face while they're riding on Dojo. If you pay close attention, you'll notice that he seems to be getting a nice view up her skirt.
  • Dudebot in "The Deep Freeze" basically commits suicide.
  • In the same episode Omi holds up a carrot asking if anyone wants to make a snowman - which makes sense in context, but due to how Omi is holding it, the grin and his small figure which makes the carrot look huge in comparison the image itself is rather questionable.
  • This exchange in The New Order:
    Jack: Well, I've got something that you don't!
    Chase: *smirking* Very small hands?
    Jack: *annoyed* No.
  • In "Something Jermaine" when Omi screws up Jermaine's retrieval of the Shen Gong Wu, Jermaine asks Omi if he's tripping. Either the writers weren't aware that "tripping" is slang for being under the influence of the questionable drug LSD, or the censors didn't. However, it can be neither, as "tripping" (often spelled and pronounced as "trippin'") has been (and still is) used as street slang meaning "to be crazy" or "to be kidding around."
  • The "Woozy Shooter" is a Shen-Gon-Wu that emits a gas that causes people to act silly and experience bizarre hallucinations - somewhat similar to the effects of psychedelic drugs (however, the episode arguably portrays the drug experience negatively, as it used against the Xiaolin monks to hinder them during the episode - so this is likely why it wasn't regarded as promoting recreational drug use). Heck, its shape is similar to either a hookah or a bong.
  • In Time After Time part 1” We see where overlord jack keeps the other major villains prisoner. Wuya is hanging on the wall dressed up like a cheerleader, and Chase Young is restrained while...a machine spreads butter on his abdomen...
    • It's yellow paint. Yellow belly is an insult meaning coward

    Xiaolin Chronicles 
  • Shadow is essentially Chase's daughter. Not only do they keep flirting after this revelation, she outright calls him "yummy" and he declares her a romanatic. Hello Parental Incest.
  • Episode 8 has Jack express disgust after spying on Chase and Shadow communicating face-to-face by hissing. Wuya then immediately tries to do the same with Jack and even follows him into his fancy toilet when he tries to run away, saying, "Ooh la la, what big . . . hands."note 
  • Episode 11 has a disco outhouse to relive stress in various ways.
  • In "Super Cow Patty", Jack approaches the eponymous character to ask for his autograph, and asks if he can sign it, "To my HORN-iest fan, Jack?" A nervous Cow Patty replies, "Uh, how about biggest fan?" Later subverted, as the line was cut in the Disney XD airing to read "horn fan", but stays intact on the Amazon Prime Video version.

[up][up]I meant to ask if media such as beer commercials (which cannot legally target minors, but happen to be aired in media popular with minors as Periphery Demographic) can be mentioned in Radar.

Rainbow: I would say there's nothing radar-worthy. There might be some AI you can save.

Mewtron: Yeah, deciding whether innuendo is intentional or not can be tricky LOL. I'll do a re-sort when I'm less tired.

Also it turns out I mis-parsed the Coq Roq one. I thought it was the name of a real band that happened to provide the music, but it's the name of the in-universe band. Yeah, that's definitely a DE.

[up]I would say err on the side of caution. If it's just a case of beer advertising on something with an under-18 periphery demographic, the company can reasonably claim they're targeting adults, and it's the responsibility of the parents to control what their kids see. The only valid examples would be if we could dig up some evidence that beer companies were intentionally trying to appeal to children.

OK, second shot at sorting the Advertising examples:

    open/close all folders 

    Double Entendre; overlap with Sex Sells 
  • The Bud Light commercials on "The Bud Light party", which boast of having the biggest "caucus" in the country.
  • Remember Little Baby's Ice Cream, the company that made the infamous "This Is a Special Time"? Well, this company kept making commercials and in 2015, it made one called "Check Out Our New Package", where they announce the release of a brand new pint container that is said to be "100% recyclable". The commercial features a well-built, shirtless guy posing for the audience. Then the guy proceeds to slide down the zipper of his pants, with ice-cream squirting out of his crotch, as if he...Oh yeah. This is probably the weirdest thing to come out of this company so far.
  • One of General Motors' Super Bowl ads in 2014 is called "Romance" and is for the new Chevrolet Silverado HD truck. It starts innocuously enough, with a man purchasing a bull and loading it into a trailer. Then "You Sexy Thing" starts to play, and it's all but confirmed that the man isn't getting the romance at the end.
  • Club 18-30 did a similar thing to the above ad in a series of 2002 poster ads. At first glance, it looks like groups of people frolicking at the beach, bar, etc. Upon closer inspection, however, nearly everybody is positioned in a sexually suggestive manner.
    • Earlier in the mid-90s, they had a series of ads that didn't even try to be subtle. Featuring statements such as "Beaver Espana", "Summer of 69", or (accompanied by a picture of a man wearing boxers) "Girls, may we interest you in a package holiday?" These wound up earning plenty of complaints to the ASA, who eventually ordered the company to pull them.
  • One of the commercials for Pepsi in Argentina features every kind of sexual innuendo imaginable while "I Touch Myself" by Divinyls is played.
  • The Australian anti-littering campaign with the slogan "Don't Be A Tosser".
  • For their Molson Canadian beer, Molson brewery made a commercial about how many beavers we have in Canada, so many that sometimes we have to chase them out of the house. The commercial ends with the phrase "Molson Canadian, for when you're chasing beavers." note 
  • There is a regular series of ads on Australian TV for a brand of Peanuts called Nobby's. It involved someone talking about "Nibbling Nobby's Nuts". In every case people nearby would all look suspiciously when that someone, it was usually a woman, said this out loud. It's been going strong since the 1980s.
    • When this company aired ads in the UK, they used the same slogan, though the advert featured UK 70's Slade frontman Noddy Holder. The ad showed a group of men who, upon reading the title, started to lunge towards Noddy's crotch, stopping just short when he announced "Not Noddy's. NOBBY'S!".
  • A TV3 ad from the mid 2000s. Feic, feicim, feicamar etc. said the teacher. The joke being in Ireland feck is a swear word while feic is the Irish for look and is pronounced exactly the same.
  • Pretty much any commercial from Joe's Crab Shack. Ads like telling a woman to "take [her] top off" and an entire family cursing are some of the things that went past the censors. Also, this one has three girls state what they're "doing", with a man boasting that he's "doing all three".
    • Unfortunately, in some markets (including Florida), someone caught on to that second ad. Later airings completely ruined the joke by cutting away from the bleep entirely.
  • In a tie-in with the movie Thor Charmin ran an ad featuring a bear wearing Thor's helmet and carrying his hammer, with the caption "We've Always Been An Asguardian".
  • During the 2009 Indy 500, Firestone had a blatant example. The station had paused for a station ID (which was announced by the analyst) and it went to a radio commercial that invited the listener to strap down tightly, feel the rubber and smell the excitement, gripping it tightly with sweaty palms (amazingly, no complaints were made about this ad).
  • The ads for FX's Nurse Jackie: first one was "Life is full of little pricks", while another was "Holy shift".
  • A Toyota commercial for the Sienna has a woman in her new van, marveling at how relaxing it is to be in it. The woman then explains that she escapes the hours in the Sienna by saying that time in the van "gives her fewer headaches."
  • A Jack in the Box commercial features Jack conversing with his mother about whatever product he's now selling, when his father barges in exclaiming "Honey, call the doctor! It's been more than four hours," accompanied by a panicked glance downward.
    • Jack in the Box seems to be adopting this as a core element of their ads (which isn't a bad thing, mind you). One ad features Jack discovering some...rather intimate purchases amongst his wife's groceries, which she tells him are for "later". He then finds a spiked collar and gets VERY excited...until being told it's for the dog.
  • An advert for Tetley tea bags had the head mascot Gaffer and his date in a taxi outside her house. She asks him if he'd like to come in for some "coffee". But Gaffer takes this literally and, as a tea man, he's disgusted. He says "What sort of a bloke do you think I am?" and leaves her standing on the curb.
  • A commercial for the Mini Countryman had a game show called "Cram It In the Boot" where the (British) host asks the (American) contestant if he'd ever crammed it in the boot? The commercial was advertising how Countryman's boot is able to hold more stuff, so you can cram more things in its boot. The radar obviously had no idea what else that means.
  • One Bigspot ad shows some kind of yo-yo product (which, as all the Bigspot ads imply, is a failure). At one point, a woman walks up to a man in a very suggestive tone and says "Can I play with your yo-yo?" The guy winks at the screen, and the ad ends.
  • Overstock.com's (now O.co's) tagline "The big, big O" is odd but reasonably innocuous. Their Jingle Bells-esque Christmas jingle ("Oh Oh Oh, the big big O, Overstock.com", which never comes after the company is identified) crosses the line into a disturbingly unrelated attention-grabber. (In case you don't understand, the Big O is slang for an orgasm).
  • Wilkinson Sword's "mow the lawn" did make it past US censors...for a little while. See here.
  • This legendary Fiat commercial from the 2012 Super Bowl. One shot even has the girl smear a white foamy substance on a guy's mouth and drop some on her chest. It's a wonder how this commercial got the okay to air.
    • The commercial also involves a man getting turned on by a car. Considering that there is a car fetish, and the phrase "Auto erotica", it's safe to say that this was intentional.
  • The Liquid Plumr ad for its Double Impact. From the deep voiced narration, to the woman's reactions, to the many plumbing double entendres, to that other possible meaning of "Double," to the guys respectively working the meat (he's a butcher) and handling melons (fresh grocer) at the end, it's amazing this ad made it on the air.
  • "The name of this game is Ball Buster."
  • A Progressive ad talking about the bonuses for people who stayed with Progressive, and the rival company apprently gives customers a calendar as a prize, featuring one insurance man laying on the cover somewhat suggestively. One of the guys says, "You should see November!" and Flo replies very seductively, "Oh, yeah?"
  • This Scotch video cleaner commercial. It's supposed to help you clean your "dirty videos".
    Skeleton: Look at that bone structure!
  • The commercial for Three Million by the New York Lottery features a couple talking to their kids. They talk about wanting to spice up their lives, claim to have been "horsing around last night" until "it happened". An announcer appears to close with, "Unplanned millionairehood: It happens when you play three million from the New York Lottery."
  • Time Warner Cable commercials featuring the stars of Hot in Cleveland involve the four women from the show at the airport, complaining about missing the aforementioned program. The Time Warner Cable guy comes in and talks about how TWC allows programs to be viewed from a mobile device, "anytime, anywhere." Betty White then says to one of the women, "'Anytime, anywhere'? Isn't that your nickname?"
  • A mattress commercial was going around with different people saying different variations of "ask me how it worked/improved my life/etc." One of them was an obviously pregnant woman saying "Well, just ask me!" while her partner smiled into the camera.
  • British hair and beauty salon Wahanda has a spectacular example in their "Book Yourself Fabulous" ad.
    Female protagonist (singing): My life is like a jungle, I'm a (sly look)... little overgrown.
    (Picture of fluffy pussycat)
    • Believe it or not, that one went out on daytime TV.
  • A 2015 Fiat commercial starts with an older woman lying in a seductive pose on her bed, beckoning her husband for what can only be sex. Excitedly, her husband grabs a bottle of blue pills and tries to pop one in his mouth, but it falls out the window instead and lands in a nearby Fiat's gas tank, causing the car to... swell. And this not only aired on daytime television in the United States, but debuted during the Super Bowl, in front of an audience of millions. It's debatable if the radar was even at work that day.
  • One of the more recent commercials for Serta (featuring their Counting Sheep) has a couple tell the sheep they now have the Serta PerfectSleeper mattress and don't need to count them. The woman then casually mentions she hasn't been counting the sheep in months. Cue the lead sheep's reaction; complete with obvious Double Entendre:
    Lead sheep: "You've been faking it for months?"
    Woman: Every night.
  • A Specsavers advert (shown during the day) has a museum security guard going around at the end of the day and flicking off all the lights... and accidentally snapping the willy off a statue. And then at the end, he stops to glance at a painting of a cockerel.
  • This tweet from Iceland. All completely intentional and done in response to the #sheeranalbumparty hashtag.
  • This Sling TV ad has "slinging" mistaken for a Double Entendre for swinging. Right down to the husband popping open his shirt. The later ads with Nick Offerman and Megan Mullaney were even less subtle about the entendre.
  • Aspercreme's original slogan was "You bet your sweet Aspercreme!" Then somebody realized the ad was talking about people's sweet asses, so they changed the third and fourth words to "if it's".
  • The Sega 32X commercial and magazine ads were filled with sexual innuendos about how the 32X inserts into the Genesis.
    Guy: Just stick it in your Genesis!
    [cuts to a 32X being inserted into a Genesis in slow motion, with a voice suggestively saying "All right, baby..."]
  • A commercial for Koodo Mobile has El Tabador helping a family move into their new house. At the end, he knocks over a long, rectangular box, which then starts vibrating with enough frequency to move around the room. He hastily says it "must be their alarm clock", obviously trying to cover up what it really is.
  • A campaign for Burger King's Chicken Fries featured a GWAR-like, chicken-themed band singing tunes such as "Bob Your Head" and "Cross The Road". The band's name? Coq Roq (try saying it out loud).
  • The bee having fun with a flower was actually an advertisement of a mobile phone tune which somehow managed to air midday.
  • The Tiddy Bear! Which sounds very similar to what the product is hugging half the time. Good thing those women were adults wearing seatbelts.
  • In the UK, the 2013 TV commercial for Flora butter depicts a cartoon animation of two brothers making breakfast for their parents on their anniversary. When they go upstairs to give it to them, the narrator (the youngest sibling) describes how the mother was good at wrestling in bed with the father. What makes this even more questionable is the parents would decide to get it on in the morning when everyone else in the house was already awake!

    Accidental Innuendo 
  • Many years ago Sask Pork, the agency promoting Saskatchewan pork producers, started an advertising campaign with a new slogan: "Pork. The one you love." However the billboards (second entry on this list) featured a woman hugging a guy (with a bit of a goofy grin) presumably grilling some pork chops. The period seemed to disappear and suddenly most people read it as one statement.
  • You're gonna love my nuts.
  • Subway's ads have included referring to subs as "yum rockets". Manages to be a Narm too.
  • You'll see the "Suck da head and pinch da tail" slogan all over New Orleans. It's the technique for eating crawfish: break in half, pinch tail to get the meat out, and suck the juices from the head.
  • An older Burger King commercial, in which a Whopper sandwich is berating his son, Whopper Jr., for selling himself for only a dollar.
    • "Your dad's really throwing his weight around!" "All quarter-pound of it!"
  • The Spanish lollipop brand Chupa Chups, which is distributed to other countries, got away with their slogan "The Joy Of Sucking" for many years before changing it to "Life Less Ordinary".
  • The Jello Pudding's "Pudding Face" commercial. The Urban Dictionary definition of "pudding face" gives a whole new meaning to the phrase "$#!+-eating grin".
  • A commercial for Mario Kart 7 features a group of guys playing. One's kart is struck by the lightning weapon which shrinks the kart. He asks "Hey, why am I small?" and his buddy replies, "Genetics".
  • Handgun manufacturer STI in a print ad, referring to its competitors: "We've upped our standards, now up yours."
  • For a while in Minneapolis they were running advertisements for an AIDS awareness program at most of the bus stops. One, showing a picture of a man in a baseball uniform, said something along the lines of "Just because you're the pitcher doesn't mean you can't get AIDS."
  • One commercial for Fruit by the Foot has one kid claiming to have replaced something vital of another kid's with Fruit by the Foot while pointing at his crotch. His skis, what else?
  • The Wunder Boner, anyone? It's a product for easily removing a fish's bones.
    Dave: It's the Wunder Boner.
    [everybody is snickering]
    Man #2: The Wunder Boner?!?!
    Dave: Aw, you laugh now. JUUUUST watch...
    [later, the men are really convinced this product can work]
    Man #2: The Wunder Boner!
    Man #3: My wife would like that!
    [even later]
    Man #2: So, uh, Dave, where DID you get the Wunder Boner?
    Dave: Funny you should ask!
  • An ad for Herbal Essences shampoo features women using the shampoo and hallucinating their fantasies with the slogan "Someone's been doing the Herbal". One example.
  • One guy is showing off the slogan he wrote for 7 Up in a commercial, "Make 7 Up yours." He split the slogan in half. The front of the shirt read "Make 7" and the back read "Up yours." Hilarity Ensues along with traffic accidents. It's an in-universe AI.

    Toilet humour 
  • The Energy Sheets commercial. The people in the commercial are saying stuff like "I take a sheet in the pool" and such, referring to where they take the product.
  • The Charmin bears: the toilet paper company has an entire international advertising campaign based around taking the phrase "Does a bear shit in the woods?" to its logical extreme. (Apparently, the answer is "Yes, and they use Charmin toilet tissue to clean up afterwards.")
    • Lampshaded in one episode of Saturday Night Live (not verbatim): "An ad for Dancing with the Stars was banned from airing due to a woman showing too much cleavage, yet the lewd commercials with bears showing off their asses still manage to air."
    • A German toilet paper company proceeded to make a parody. "Scheißt ein Bär in den Wald?" is the German version and means exactly the same.
    • And the German version of the initial Charmin bear advert is even more explicit than the American one (then again, they can get by with more shit on German television...).
  • One wonders how this ad for Luvs Diapers got past the radar. Yes, you saw it correctly. Those babies are having a competition for...who can be the most "heavy duty". Dead link

    Visual innuendo 

    Rhymes with a curse but isn't a curse 
  • A commercial for Late Night Liars, which appears to be an even more dysfunctional Greg the Bunny, has one aged starlet puppet (think Miss Piggy on a bender after realizing she was too old to have a career) doing a screentest drunk. She falls asleep, and this exchange happens:
    Director: Okay, cut!
    Puppet: (wakes up) What did you call me?!
  • There was once an anti-littering PSA starring Aquaman called That Dirty Beach.
  • CheapOair has ads with a picture of Phuket, Thailand and the tag line "Cheap Flights make it easy to say 'Phuket... Let's Travel'." (Un)fortunately, locals say "poo-KET." Dead link
  • Most ads for the Seven Psychopaths movie had the slogan, "They won't take any shih tzu" on them.
  • The K-Mart "Ship My Pants" ad. Needless to say, it's gone viral.
All links dead
  • Similarly, the Pennsylvania-based convenience store chain Sheetz invited you during summer 2013 to use your loyalty card to "save on the Sheetz you love."
    • It's not on their website anymore, but that same link now has this:
    Just how many ways can you save with the My Sheetz Card loyalty program? In a word, a Sheetzload.
  • The 2014 advertising campaign for the Toyota Aygo. The two TV ads are meant to convey the fun and joyful aspects of driving the car. Nothing wrong there. So what's the slogan? "Go Fun Yourself". Dead links
  • There's a Verizon ad that will tell you their competitors are giving you "half-fast" internet. (Say it quickly.)

    Sex Sells 
  • An earlier line of Herbal Essences commercials had women moaning and squealing with delight while in the shower (using the shampoo, of course), ending with an exhilarated "Yes! Yes! YES!" as they see how shiny their hair has become. The tagline? "A totally organic experience."
  • In this commercial for a Samsung cell phone, a family man is leaving for a business trip. His two young daughters excitedly tell him that they made him a video and link their cell phones with his to upload it (a new feature for the phone). Then his wife walks up and says "I made you a video too," and links her phone with his, but quickly adds, "You probably shouldn't watch it on the plane." This commercial somehow made it on ABC.
    Mrs. Claus: You probably shouldn't watch it on the sleigh!
  • Seen the 2013 ad for draft king sweepstakes? No idea how they got that past the radar! The guy says very clearly "Derek Bradley went from a guy with holes in his underpants, to bikini models in them!" watch it here. And this aired on national TV and all over Youtube.
    • Furthermore, the earliest versions of the commercial said you could win a boatload of money, but later versions changed it to "shipload", which seems synonymous but is not a real saying and sounds suspiciously like "shitload". Again, this is the newer version of the commercial.
  • Klondike's ads for its Kandy Bars line, which are literally porn parodies without the sex. Specifically, they feature a typical porny set-up such as a patient and a sexy nurse or an astronaut and a group of sexy aliens, except in each scenario the man is a Klondike bar and the sexy women are candy bars. Before anything sexy happens, the scenario cuts away to a man explaining to his confused girlfriend that's how the Kandy Bars were made. The tagline is "The best ice cream bars ever conceived." And if YouTube comments are to be believed, the funky music in these commercials is the same music used in actual pornographic movies.
    • Delissio (the Canadian name for DiGiorno pizza) did an ad on the same theme. The punchline was that the woman and the "pizza delivery guy" were a husband and wife role playing, and their kid walks in and corrects them about it being delivery (saying the tagline "It's not delivery, it's Delissio/Digiorno") along with "And you're not a real pizza delivery guy, DAD. No wonder I don't have any friends."

    Gosh Dang It To Heck 
  • There was an even older Orbit Commercial that used "Shut the front door!". Orbit commercials in general are known for their Unusual Euphemisms, including "Who are you calling a cootie queen? You LINT LICKER!", "What the French toast?", "Well, kiss my- ASHTON!", and of course, "I will pineapple slap your ASCOTS!" The whole purpose is to show that Orbit gum makes your mouth so clean that you won't say any dirty words.
    • Speaking of Orbit, there's this ad with Sarah Silverman. "I've got your lipstick all over my rim" is quite the thing to hear in a business meeting.
  • Nutra Nail Gel started airing this spot on American television in fall 2013. It promotes the quick-drying nature of the product by depicting the ptifalls of standard nail polish. A woman looks down and disappointedly says "Oh, smudge"note . The last woman wakes up, looks down at her bed and says "Oh, sheet."
  • Fresh And Easy grocery chain had a commercial that stated "Get your food the F and Easy way." However how it was said clearly sounds like it was saying "Get your food the Effing Easy way". The posters made it even more specific: "It's so F'in Easy!" Maybe that's why they closed down in 2015.

    Black Comedy 

    Surprisingly Lenient Censor 
  • The famous Portuguese drink Licor Beirão ("Liquor from the Beira region"). Its slogan? O Beirão de que todos gostam ("The one from Beira which everybody loves"). Who was "The one from Beira which not everybody loves"? António de Oliveira Salazar, Portugal's then dictator! Yes, they basically pulled a joke on a dictator and the best of all is that he knew about it, didn't try to censor it and complimented on the liquor makers audacity!

    Comedic Underwear Exposure 

    Literal Metaphor 

    No 
  • Advertisers dealing with "intimate" products need to be more circumspect than most. French prophylactic maker Manix has a habit of producing ads so subtle they're family friendly at a casual glance, and very not after a few moments consideration.
  • There's an Old Spice body wash commercial featuring a centaur and his (human) wife. Old Spice works for him because he's two things in one, a man... and a provider. There are definitely some Squicky things implied, despite the horse's body being that of a mare. That, and mythology states that centaurs have a nasty habit of raping human women.
  • In a certain Cartoon Network ad...
    Wonder Woman: You girls are developing into quite the superheroes.
    Bubbles: Someday, we'll be as developed as you!
  • G.I. Joe toy commercials were made under the same restrictions as the TV series. However, this episode managed to sneak in a little lethality: When introducing the joe Sub-Zero, he comes up behind two Cobra troopers and fires one shot each.
  • This trope is the whole point of the women in the KGB Deals promotions, online and on television. Not to mention the fact the dark-haired, pale-skinned girl is an Expy of Michelle Ryan, although she is never named as such.
  • "Whatever happened to drinks? It used to be real liquor, in a real glass. Now it's cocktails called razzle...twatitinis and who knows what. This cocktail's called tequila." Yes, 1800 Tequila certainly "changed the game" with that commercial.
    • Note that the censors eventually did catch on to that one; the commercial was later censored to "razzletinis". After probably close to a year.
  • A 2002(?) ad for Comcast Cable Modem did this literally by showing a newly-wed husband and wife retrieving their wedding photos, only for the photographer to upload a "special shot" from the husband's bachelor party, much to his wife's dismay.
  • The commercial for Kraft Habanero Heat shredded cheese has a Big Red Devil giving out free samples at a grocery store. He claims it's hotter than "you know what" and then becomes increasingly frustrated as one couple can't figure out what he means by "you know what" and keep guessing incorrectly. He even starts to think he's the victim of a Candid Camera Prank, since he doesn't think there's any way the couple could really be that stupid.
  • A Sonic commercial had a line, "My mom told me not to play with my tater tots."
  • There's a Motel 6 radio ad about all the various ways to book a room at Motel 6. But if you want to book a room via telegram, you're "dot-dot-dot-dash-dash-dash-dot-dash-dot-dot".note 
  • The end of this commercial for a Dollar Shave Club probably only gets past the radar because of the Fridge Logic. After all they make the blatant link of the coconuts, but nobody mentions the cat... Dead link

     [citation needed]  
  • This is one of those cases where Getting Crap Past the Radar was actually done literally: in the newest commercial for the Chevy Volt, the woman in that spot said that the car will "save you a crapload of money." (A caption at the end showed that she meant to say a boatload of money.)
  • This Corn Nuts radio ad was unfortunately pulled a few weeks after it began broadcast, although given its plainly obvious masturbation innuendos it's a wonder how it even made it to air at all.

Might as well go through Radar.Justice League:

    Insert witty title here 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/1ebd8a80bab00b5590a549bba4622746.jpg
Don't think so.

Justice League (Unlimited) includes so many of these moments, and some of them so blatant, that one almost has to wonder if the censors were paying attention at all (Word of God is that they just didn't care). As time went on, the show was moved to a late primetime slot and the show became more obviously for older audiences, leading to even more direct crap getting past the radar. If it could get away with more stuff because it was moved to a time slot with more lenient censors, then I think I'm going to be cutting a lot of stuff, if not the whole page.


  • The second episode, "Secret Origins, Part 2", features Wonder Woman pretty obviously getting naked when she drops her robe to put on her costume. Characters changing clothes off screen isn't Radar worthy.
  • Basically the same joke in reverse: reporter Linda Park reveals her Flash-fangirl side in "Flash and Substance" when, describing him in glowing terms, compares Flash to "like, the whole track team at once." On the air. (But, of course she would.) Alice finding Bob attractive isn't Radar worthy.
  • In "Fury", where a deranged Amazon attempts to commit Gendercide.
    Hawkgirl: Yes, but who wants to live in a world without men?
    Wonder Woman: They can't possibly be that essential to your life.
    Hawkgirl: Don't knock it until you've tried it, Princess.
Don't think this counts. I can see the dirty context, but it feels like Accidental Innuendo, or at least not blatant enough for Radar.
  • In "Legends," the Streak tells Green Lantern that "you're a credit to your people." Fantastic Racism isn't Radar worthy.
  • A delightful exchange between fire-type villains Firefly and Volcana in "Only a Dream".
    Volcana: That's your flame thrower?
    Firefly: Wait'll you see how I use it.
    (Makes a brief and crappy show of it before getting shot at and running back inside. He stands before Volcana looking ashamed and she pats him comfortingly.)
    Volcana: It's okay sweetie.
    (She immediately torches up the place while Firefly watches with raised flamethrower.)
    Firefly: I think I'm in love. (shoots a burst of fire from his gun on the last word)
Not Radar worthy.
  • Made even better when you consider Volcana is voiced by Peri Gilpin, who plays the rather promiscuous Roz on Frasier. She even talks to Firefly like Roz would talk to Frasier or Niles. Natter. Peri Gilpin's role in Frasier has nothing to do with censors.
  • After Firefly gets outmaneuvered by Batman and sent careening into Volcana's back, setting them both up for capture, she exasperatedly snaps, "Are you good for anything?", leaving the viewer to wonder in what other ways she found him less than satisfactory. Too vague. I think she's shitting on him in general.
  • In "The Savage Time" when the team is thrown into a pile while riding alternate-Bruce Wayne's rocket train (long story), the following exchange occurs.
    Hawkgirl: ... Whose hand is that?
    Flash: (pulling his hand from what appears to be her breasts) Sorry!
Don't think so.
  • Speaking of which, one of the New Gods in "Twilight" evidently slaps Wonder Woman's ass just off-screen to provoke her into chasing him.
    Wonder Woman: He's worse than The Flash!
Don't think so.
  • "Hearts and Minds" has many of these. The episode's main premise revolves around the allegory of Green Lantern suffering from... performance anxiety issues. At one point, Katma Tui calls his power loss "emerald impudence", which Flash mishears as "impotence".
Not sure.
  • Katma Tui's discussion with Stewart gets even worse because they were implied to be more than just teacher and student, an abuse of power even if it was consensual. She even asks him if he still snores.
    Hawkgirl: They must have been close.
    Kilowog: Very close.
This feels more like Fridge Horror.
Stripperific outfits don't go past PG.
  • In "A Better World", the Justice Lords universe versions of Hawkgirl and Green Lantern have the following exchange:
    Hawkgirl: So do you sleep better now?
    Green Lantern: You know I do.
What? I think this might be Accidental Innuendo, I'm just stumped on what the innuendo is. Even if this was intentional, implied sex doesn't go past PG.
  • Huntress confronting The Question after a theft in "Question Authority", and, wanting some alone time with him, taking the computer disk he has just stolen and tucking it into her Trouser Space, complete with closeup as she does!
    Question: Uh... Dinner? And a movie?
    Huntress: It's a start... (cue trouser space)
Nothing that goes past PG.
  • In the scene preceding this, Superman and Lois Lane are having a picnic. After finishing their meal, Lois smiles and slyly asks, "So, what's for dessert?" Nothing that goes past PG.
  • In "Maid of Honor", Princess Audrey, trying to get Wonder Woman to go clubbing: "I'm a world class party girl. I intend to go out with a bang. Several, if it can be arranged." It's like they're not even trying. Accidental Innuendo. If it was intentional, then it doesn't go past PG anyway.
    • Don't forget Wonder Woman's sexy torn dress in the beginning of the episode. Nothing that goes past PG. Something about this example feels weirdly pervy.
    • Batman also arranges a very interesting position for himself at the end of that episode. Weblinks are not examples. I'm not sure what this is talking about, but it doesn't go past PG.
    • Also from that episode—the maid.
      Maid: Are you certain the wine is all you require, your highness?
What?
Nothing that goes past PG.
  • When Audrey ditches her guards and they look into the taxi she used as a decoy and find nothing, one of them says a foreign word translated as "Poop!" Poop isn't Radar worthy, even if something is rated G.
  • And yet another from this episode, while they're clubbing, Diana approaches Audrey, who is standing with four buff, shirtless "hunk" type guys. Audrey says "Look, party favors!" then offers two to Diana, and suggests they "go to the VIP room". Nothing that goes past PG.
  • Princess Audrey's confusion upon waking up alone, whilst wearing a skimpy nightie, makes it very clear that she and Vandal have indeed consummated their marriage. As if that weren't enough, a Freeze-Frame Bonus shows a man's dress shirts and pants carelessly tossed aside in their bedroom. Implied sex doesn't go past PG.
  • "Injustice for All" has a legendary moment, when after Batman easily manipulates Ultra Humanite and Solomon Grundy into fighting each other instead of watching him, Lex instead switches out the guard with Cheetah. Well, apparently Lex didn't remember Batman has a thing for cats. When we cut back in, Batman and Cheetah are in the middle of a conversation that starts out already sounding awful friendly, and then Bruce outright seduces her, to the point of earning himself what looks to be a French kiss. The dialogue is so suggestive it might cause one to clutch their pearls and fan themselves.
    Cheetah: How do you know so much about me?
    Batman: (smiling) Let's just say cats aren't the only ones who are curious.
    Cheetah: Too much curiosity can be dangerous.
    Batman: Maybe I like danger.
    Cheetah: Do you?
Nothing that goes past PG.
  • In the episode "War World", John is shown picking up a discarded calendar featuring a nude alien pinup girl, proclaiming "one man's trash is another man's treasure." Don't think so.
  • At the end of "Double Date", after The Question confesses that he helped Huntress because he likes her, Huntress then drags him by his tie off screen to "thank" him. Two guesses what happened. Black Canary knew.
    Black Canary: I'm sorry, but...ew.
Nothing that goes past PG.
  • The best part? Question has no idea what's happening. Implying that this is the night he lost something... important. I don't see what not knowing what's happening has to do with losing your virginity. Even if that was the case here, implied sex doesn't go past PG.
  • "Double Date" has a second, blatant one; grotesque Politically Incorrect Villain Mandragora, while being guarded in a safehouse as a witness, hits on Black Canary while eating (and then licking) a plate of Freudian Oysters, telling an enraged Green Arrow to run off and fetch more oysters while he stays with GA's girlfriend since he likes them "sweet and juicy". Really, words don't do justice to how sleazy the scene is. Nothing that goes past PG. This might also be Accidental Innuendo.
  • Pretty much everything in "Double Date" is filled with blatant sexual innuendo. It's like they didn't even care if they got caught. Innuendo doesn't go past PG.
  • "Double Date" was written by Gail Simone. It was obvious this was an episode for the older fans from that fact alone. Natter.
  • Like Black Canary has room to talk — her character design has to be one of the most examples of Ms. Fanservice of the series. Her initial conversation/sparring session with Green Arrow in "The Cat and the Canary" — sans jacket — is jaw-dropping, all blonde hair and curves flattening on the mat. She lets him get on top of her and pin her arms behind her back, to convince him to do her a favor. Really, any episode with Canary in it is made for fanservice. Nothing that goes past PG. This entry also feels weirdly pervy.
    • Speaking of that scene.
      Black Canary: Are you happy punching the bag or do you want to go a few rounds with me?
      Green Arrow: (Blank Stare)
      Black Canary: I am talking about sparring.note 
      Green Arrow: That'd be nice too.
Nothing that goes past PG. This entry also feels weirdly pervy, I think it's gravity existing rather than Jiggle Physics.
  • Plus, Green Arrow brings up the subject of "coffee" to her at the end of the episode. Accidental Innuendo. Even if it was intentional, it still doesn't go past PG.
  • Of course, prior to this Green Arrow already had Black Canary on the brain. One look was the reason he stayed in the League, and she's noticed him checking her out. For example, when he and Supergirl are talking about dreams.
    Green Arrow: I don't know, I've had some dreams that felt mighty real. *looks over at Black Canary* There was this one the other night...
Nothing that goes past PG.
  • Let's put it this way: Batman: The Animated Series used her design for a prostitute. No more need be said. Natter. Ms. Fanservice characters aren't Radar worthy, this example relies on something from a different series.
  • Later in "The Cat and the Canary", a ticket scalper solicits her as a prostitute. They're expensive tickets. Fortunately Ollie foots the bill. From what I remember, they don't outright call her a prostitute. Pretty sure this doesn't go past PG.
  • One that was less a case of "getting crap past the radar" and more a case of "demolishing the radar in order to present the villain - whom she's interrogating - as a pervert".
Mandragora: Besides, I'm ravaged by hunger. Feed me, and I shall squeal on all manner of former associates. Speaking of squealing, Black Canary, I notice you can't take your eyes off me. One can hardly blame you. Perhaps after Agent Faraday helps absolve me of my alleged crimes, i could put you in a cage and have you sing for me.
Nothing that goes past PG.
  • Zatanna could give Black Canary a run for her money in the Fanservice department. Of course... Ms. Fanservice characters aren't Radar worthy. I feel like some of these examples are an excuse to gush about how hot (insert character here) is.
  • And then there was the time Vixen ambushed John Stewart by pulling him into a side room with hope for some alone time.
    Green Lantern: Don't sneak up on me like that! Do you know what this ring could do to you?
    Vixen: Promises, promises.
Nothing that goes past PG.
  • In "Secret Society", as the team starts in-fighting, Hawkgirl nearly calls Wonder Woman a stuck-up bitch but is cut short. Curse Cut Short isn't Radar worthy.
    • Likewise in Part 2, some of The Shade's goons from the last episode are seen walking out of a seedy-looking club with loud music, explaining they only got out because one guy's mom put up bail. "How's she gonna pay it all back?" "Eh, she'll just have to keep dancing for a few more years." Yes, folks, we just got a strip club on Cartoon Network. Don't think so.
    • When Grodd's explaining why people sometimes just say stupid things, and finishes with "maybe it's just one of those moods you get into every so often," Giganta responds with "I hear that!" It's a PMS joke. Nothing that goes past PG.
  • In "The Balance", Hermes delivers to Wonder Woman a message from Zeus to invade Tartarus.
    Wonder Woman: He's telling me to go to—
    Hermes: Basically.
Nothing that goes past PG.
  • When Hermes accidentally gives Diana the wrong message: "For a good time, call Podênemos...?"
    Hermes: Sorry! Wrong scroll! I think I've got a shot; it's her cell number.
What? Even if it's lewd, I don't think this goes past PG.
  • Faust, the villain of the episode, currently a ghost trapped in a mirror, is lecturing his student on proper potion-making.
    Felix Faust: Tala, you've come a long way since my untimely demise, but the student, however gifted, still has much to learn from the teacher.
    Tala: *flirtatiously* Maybe I wouldn't if we'd spent more time on curriculum, and less time— *cut off by her potion exploding*
Nothing that goes past PG.
  • Later in the same episode, the ladies are deep in Tartarus.
    Hawkgirl: ... You haven't even broken a sweat.
    Wonder Woman: What? I do sweat.
    Hawkgirl: Oh please, you practically glow. I wouldn't be surprised if you never have to... (cutoff)
Nothing that goes past PG, assuming there's something there.
  • Grodd makes a literal example of this trope in "Alive!"
    Grodd: I'm not some monkey in a cage throwing—
    Tala: Shh!
Curse Cut Short isn't Radar worthy, neither is Toilet Humor. The latter isn't Radar worthy even if something is rated G.
  • Grodd's preference for human women. He's so into them he took his gorilla lover and made her into a human just to suit his particular fetish. Nothing that goes past PG.
  • In "A Better World", after breaking out of the Justice Lords' holding cells.
    Superman: I don't know about the rest of you, but I'm ready to kick some serious— (Flash interrupts)
Curse Cut Short isn't Radar worthy.
  • After Brainiac captures Superman in "Twilight" and attempts to convince him that Evil Feels Good, Superman gives him this response;
    Brainiac: I am Krypton.
    Superman: You're a perversion, dishonoring the very memory of my father and all my people.
    Brainiac: And this is your final decision?
    Superman: Read my lips. Go to- (cutoff)
    Brainiac: Unfortunate, but predictable.
Nothing that goes past PG.
  • And there's Hawkgirl's response in "The Terror Beyond" when being held by a giant alien squid who is definitely not Cthulhu (well, kind of—he just has an I tacked on before his name);
    Ichthultu: Speak to me, child of Thanagar.
    Hawkgirl: Nothing to say. I have a gesture for you, but my hands are tied.
Nothing that goes past PG. Nothing that goes past PG.
  • There's a scene in "Epilogue" where Waller tries to explain that she obtained Batman's DNA (for one of her late genetics experiments) from blood he left at the scene of a fight. Judging by her face, you almost get the feeling she phrased it like this on purpose:
    (flashback of the original Batman, wounded enough to draw blood)
    Waller: Bruce's DNA was easy enough to obtain: he left it all over town.
    (cut to Terry giving Waller an awkward stare.)
    Waller: ...not remotely what I meant.
Don't think so.
  • Given that Terry had by that time read up about Bruce's old playboy act, this is getting crap past and yet another way of hooking Batman Beyond to the older shows one more time, AS the fat lady (Waller) is singing. Natter. What is this even getting at?
  • Another one-scene wonder in "Epilogue": pay close attention when Ace dies and the new Royal Flush Gang reverts to their non-powered true selves. The new Queen, a Brawn Hilda type woman, reverts to a fat man. Not Radar worthy.
  • In "I Am Legion", Hawkgirl on Flash gazing at his new crush Fire (talking to her gal-pal Ice): "You'd probably be wasting your time anyway. I hear she's, y'know... [long, Flash-panicking pause] Brazilian." Don't think so. Maybe Parental Bonus, but Justice League was aiming at older audiences by this point.
    • Doubles as a Mythology Gag, as Fire and Ice are close friends with a certain amount of Les Yay in the comic. Natter.
    • Then there is the scene of them traveling to the island. Complete with Male Gaze on Fire as the episode makes it known to Flash, and the viewers old enough to get it, about her "assets" Nothing that goes past PG.
  • In "Shadow of the Hawk", while visiting an archaeological dig the day after their first date, Carter Hall tells Hawkgirl that he misses the dress she wore. Hawkgirl replies, "You didn't miss it last night", implying the two had a one-night stand. Implied sex doesn't go past PG.
    • In case that wasn't enough, Hall then replies "The pants are good too" right as a shot centers directly on her ass. This prompts her to tell Hall to lead the way. Nothing that goes past PG.
  • In "Grudge Match", the radar is invoked and Played for Laughs:
    Huntress: So... What are you wearing?
    Question: (sigh) Blue overcoat. Fedora.
    Huntress: You really stink at this.
    Question: ... Orange socks?
Nothing that goes past PG. The Radar also isn't invoked here because the series never directly references censors.
  • A few fanmade images of certain content seem to lampshade this scene by showing Huntress be surprised at a pantsless Question - or rather, by the fact his manhood is also sporting a small overcoat and fedora of its own! Natter that breaks the No Lewdness rule. It isn't from the actual series and I really didn't need to know what kind of weird fanart was being made.
  • "Keep her busy so I can take her from behind!" Sounds more like Accidental Innuendo.
  • "I know your kind, Roulette! You like to watch..." Perverted characters don't go past PG, assuming this isn't AI.
  • "I do fine on my own" Too vague to go past PG, assuming this isn't AI.
    Fire: "I did what?"
    Wonder Woman: "I know how you feel."
What?
  • Sonar, after Luthor breaks up a fight between Roulette and Tala: "C'mon, let them go at it for a minute." Nothing that goes past PG.
    • Hell, Luthor basically admits that this kind of male interest is why a series of Designated Girl Fights would be more successful than the existing structure of the Meta Brawl. Natter. This doesn't go past PG.
  • When Roulette and Sonar are beaten, Roulette is tossed face down on Sonar's lap... Nothing that goes past PG, assuming this isn't AI.
  • About a metric ton of Male Gaze shots. Nothing that goes past PG.
  • Before Black Canary and Huntress have their Rocky shot ending, they take off their jacket and belt, respectively. Nothing that goes past PG. What is this even getting at?
  • "The Great Brain Robbery": The "Freaky Friday" Flip-suffering Flash is implied to have sex with supervillain Tala while in Lex Luthor's body. Quoth the Flash after Tala pulls him aside (off camera) to "rest": "Hey. That's not restful." She also implies he's better than Lex because he's warm and giving (and enthusiastic). There's also a strong implication that Tala had previously slept with Grodd, who is a sapient gorilla. Implied sex doesn't go past PG.
    • No wonder she chose Lex then. By human standards, gorillas are awfully underequipped in a certain manner. Natter. I didn't need to know this, thanks.
    • The creators kind of tried to deny that Flash and Tala had sex in that scene (after some furor about the moral implications of such an act), but how else could you interpret Tala's words afterwards?:
      You're so different, so attentive, so caring, so enthusiastic... I like it.
Implied sex doesn't go past PG. Might also be AI, The Flash is a better person in general, not just in the sack.
  • Note also her apparent disappointment upon Lex's return. Natter.
  • Still regarding Tala's relationship with Grodd, we have this wonderful line delivered by the gorilla:
    Ah, Tala. I so miss bending you to my will.
Didn't she used to work with him though? Even if this was intentional, implied sex doesn't go past PG.
  • Her response isn't without implications, either ("Go eat a banana", and she might not have meant "eating" with his mouth...) AI. Grodd's a gorilla, eating bananas is what they do.
  • Who can forget the Grand Finale close-up of Luthor's rapturous face as he exclaims "Brainiac, I'm coming!" Also, "I want to merge with you again!" Dafuq? This is blatantly AI.
  • And there is also the exchange between Green Lantern and Flash after the latter appears in a commercial for a power bar ("Eclipsed"). The Flash uses the money he receives to buy (of all things) a van:
    Lantern: Why do you need a van...wait, don't answer that, I don't wanna know.
Nothing that goes past PG.
  • Followed by Flash stating that its an expression of his inner self. He then presses a button and the van begins to move up and down. Nothing that goes past PG.
  • And if that wasn't a bad enough visual metaphor, the Flash Van starts spraying windshield wiper fluids soon after. Nothing that goes past PG. Might also be AI.
  • In "Dark Heart", The Atom gets a ride to the fight in Wonder Woman's cleavage. Nothing that goes past PG.
  • The episode "A Knight of Shadows" included Wonder Woman and Flash rescuing a magazine publisher who was very obviously a No Celebrities Were Harmed Hugh Hefner at his Totally not-Playboy mansion. She gets propositioned, and Flash insists he buys the magazines For The Articles. Don't think so, especially because JL was aiming at older audiences by this point.
    • They could have stopped at putting a Playboy mansion in this, but no. They had to take it further by showing us the Hefner Captain Ersatz' bed room. His bed has a... manly shape to it. Of course, we only got to see this because Wonder Woman wanted to see Hefner's stone. She meant the Philosopher's Stone. He thought she wanted to see something else... Nothing that goes past PG.
      • For God's sake, while Wonder Woman is doing that, Flash is in the FREAKING GROTTO! They even have the women positioned so that, until they turn, it appears that they are topless. Nothing that goes past PG. This entry also has puffery.
    • To further emphasize the link, the publisher's name was Harvey Hickman, with the same alliteration but different syllables — until he mentions that he prefers to be called Harv. So?
  • A more serious example, thanks to careful editing, is the scene where Aquaman cuts off his own hand and they blatantly say that he did it! ("The Enemy Below") Also, "A Better World": parallel Superman glaring at Lex Luthor with glowing eyes as he decides that he's tired of playing the hero, when the camera cuts away to Batman, who suddenly asks Wonder Woman if she smells something burning... Nothing that goes past PG.
  • This exchange from "Hereafter":
    Wonder Woman: You're no Superman.
    Lobo: The ladies say different.
Nothing that goes past PG. Might also be AI.
  • Flash to Hawkgirl in "Only a Dream": "You look beat. Come on, time to hit the sack! *Hawkgirl stares, Flash throws up his hands* Uh, I mean...you know...I'll, uh, I'll take first watch." Nothing that goes past PG.
  • In the episode "Flash and Substance", Captain Boomerang complains to Mirror Master, "You just pull another mirror out of your blinkin' arsenal." Even better, his Aussie accent makes the "r" almost inaudible. Nothing that goes past PG.
    • In the comics, at least, Cap is half-Australian, so even with the R in it doesn't really change the meaning as far as he's concerned. Natter.
    • Then there's the opening scene:
      Captain Cold: The way people tell it, you'd think the Flash shoved my cold gun
Nothing that goes past PG.
  • Non-sex example: The orbit-to-surface energy weapon on the Watchtower satellite was once named in dialog as the "Binary Fusion Generator". Nothing that goes past PG, I think this is also looking too deeply into things.
  • Then there's the Corrupt Corporate Executive villain of "Metamorphosis" who seems to love his daughter just a little too much... He goes to visit her in her apartment like he's picking her up for a date (bringing flowers, making a last minute hair and breath check) and then later when they hug, he appears to smell her hair. Nothing that goes past PG.
    • And then there's the fact that he tries to kill her boyfriend over their impending marriage and ends up turning him into a super-powered freak, and then when he himself gets turned into a gigantic mutant monster, the first thing he does is to go after his daughter and carry her off like King Kong. Nothing that goes past PG.
    • He also tries to kill Green Lantern for consoling his daughter with a hug. A subtle addition is his face that, despite its relative shapelessness as a blob, conveys the disgust and anger of a scorned lover when he is mistaken by his daughter to be Rex. With the three above comments, and all the evidence given, we can say that this is completely intentional. Nothing that goes past PG.
  • The opening scene of "Wild Cards" is a shot of the Watchtower with audio of Hawkgirl and Green Lantern looking for something (turns out they're financial records).
    Shayera: Uh-huh... that's it... right there.
    John: No, it's not.
    Shayera: I think I would know.
    John: Really?
Nothing that goes past PG.
  • And then a little later in the episode, when the Royal Flush Gang are getting their intro, the camera is poised right at Queen's crotch for a good 2 seconds. Yikes! Nothing that goes past PG. Might also be looking too deeply into things.
  • Joker isn't exactly subtle about his feelings towards Batman in this gem:
    Joker: Zoom in, I want a nice shot of Batman! Lower, LOWER!
Nothing that goes past PG, assuming this isn't AI.
  • Nor is he subtle about commenting about John and Hawkgirl:
    Joker: Whew! Is it just me, or is there something going on between those two? Will Green Lantern ever admit to his true feelings? Will Hawkgirl ever stop sublimating her passions with that big honking mace? Nothing that goes past PG, assuming this isn't AI.
  • Worst of all is the implied pedophilia between the Joker and Ace. This isn't a viewer interpretation. It is literally a plot point. Batman uses it to get Harley to expose Joker's hideout in a jealous rage, which incidentally only further strengthens the point they're trying to get across. Whether Batman is trying to turn Harley against Joker with lies or truth, the fact remains that he was implying pedophilia. Nothing that goes past PG.
  • We are all provided a Male Gaze of Queen by the cameraman. The fact that she is a teen also comes close to crossing the line into ephebophilia, depending on how old you think she is (her age is never explicitly stated). Her age being not being stated means that this is too vague to count (assuming this isn't looking too deeply into things). A teen character being played for Fanservice isn't Radar worthy anyway.
  • At the end of the episode, an injured John is laying in bed (shirtless!) and ends the UST between he and Hawkgirl by removing her mask with the romance and slow intensity most movies would use to remove the woman's shirt and passionately kiss her. Black out and cut back to Las Vegas where an old lady (who's been at the slot machine the whole episode) hits the jackpot and exclaims "Finally!" just to let the audience know, yes, GL and Hawkgirl will now bone.
    Old Woman: ... well it's about time! *cue jackpot sound* (subtle)
Implied sex doesn't go past PG.
  • It's also a reference to fans going berserk over the tension between the two being resolved. Natter.
  • In the final part of "Starcrossed", during the final battle between Green Lantern and Hro Talak in "Starcrossed", John tells Talak to "Kiss my axe!" He did make an axe with his ring, but the delivery of the line sounds so much like "ass" that many fans think that's actually what he said. Nothing that goes past PG.
    • In the same episode, Martian Manhunter delves deep into Kragger (Hro Talak's right hand man)'s head. the first thing he sees is a destroyed statue of Hawkgirl (Talak's fiance, last they knew), followed by a statue of the man right beside Talak, so close they could make a doorway between their legs. Bruce Timm states this was intentional. Nothing that goes past PG.
  • In "Fearful Symmetry", upon finding out about Galatea, Green Arrow notes that she is identical to Supergirl, just more "mature." The camera is centered squarely on Galatea's chest. Not surprising considering who Galatea is basically an Expy of. She even has the Cleavage Window! Nothing that goes past PG.
    • There's also the scene where Question was interrogating the reporter who Galatea had been seeing. Apparently, he knew that she had trouble sleeping. Somehow. Not sure what this is getting at, but it doesn't go past PG.
    • After Kara's nightmare, she discovers she's burned two holes in her ceiling, and it's implied this isn't the first time this has happened. Why do I get the feeling the other times weren't all nightmares? This example feels like it's looking too deeply into things. Nothing in this goes past PG.
    • Galatea's name is a subtle example—like, bordering on Genius Bonus. On one hand, she's named after a figure from Greco-Roman mythology who came to life after being sculpted as a statue by a sculptor who created her to be his ideal woman, just like Hamilton artificially engineered Galatea to be his ideal warrior. On the other hand, her name literally means "She who is milky white" in Ancient Greek, with the root word "gala" ("milk") right at the beginning of her name. note  And she's the DCAU's version of Power Girl, a character infamous for being ridiculously busty and eager to show it off. So the character best known for her large breasts gets a new name with the Greek word for "milk" as a prefix. None of this is relevant to anything. I don't doubt that the name was intentional, but it isn't Radar worthy because it's a Genius Bonus.
  • The episode "This Little Piggy" has a pretty good one, right before Circe turns Wonder Woman into a pig.
    Circe: When I'm done with you, Hippolyta won't want you for a daughter, and your pointy eared boyfriend here won't want you for anything.
Not Radar worthy.
  • The commentary is even funnier as the producers point out how Bruce is nicer to Diana when she's a pig than when she's a person, especially since they note this during the scene where he's petting her. Diana would've had a fit if she knew. Natter that isn't from the work itself.
    • The ending heavily implied that she remembered everything. Natter.
  • From the same episode, Batman's famous nightclub blues ballad includes one quick shot of the audience. Comprised entirely of male couples. It appears Batman sang the blues at a gay club. Circe might've just wanted an all-male audience for vanity's sake, but it does give an impression anyway. When Circe claims she is as good as the Sirens at charming men, the all-male audience give her blank looks followed by polite/baffled clapping. It doesn't help that Medusa says the club is on Mykonos, a Greek island known for its gay tourism. Nothing that goes past PG.
  • In "Ultimatum", Batman says "Mine are bigger than yours." to Amanda Waller. Of course, he was talking about how he had Superman, Wonder Woman, and Aquaman on his side while she just had mooks. Accidental Innuendo.
    • The fact that he gives a (rather forced-looking) grin when he says it doesn't help. This is Batman, after all. Natter.
  • How about in "Paradise Lost" with the blatant, in-your-face rape imagery? What rape imagery? Assuming this isn't looking too deeply into things, this wouldn't go past PG anyway.
  • In the episode "Hawk and Dove"...
    Dove: Why don't you calm down, and I'll let you go.
    Goon: Why don't you kiss my ah-AACK! (Hawk punches him)
Nothing that goes past PG.
  • Let's not forget about "Chaos at the Earth's Core", where S.T.R.I.P.E utters "this is a load of crabcakes". A very moderate example, but an example all the same. Not Radar worthy.
  • In "Secret Society", Shade remarks "this just gets better and better" upon seeing Giganta grow in order to break through a wall. He's standing at her feet, looking up, and she's wearing a short dress and no underwear (as one can see from her side view). Nothing that goes past PG.
    • Then when Shade finds out Giganta used to be a gorilla, he looks squicked out for a second before appearing to shrug and decide he's fine with borderline bestiality. Nothing that goes past PG.
    • Wonder Woman being a Straw Feminist with a Gender Scoff: "Men! Unless you do it yourself, it doesn't count." Oh Wondy, you really have no idea do you? Looking too deeply into things.
  • So many in "To Another Shore":
    • When Martian Manhunter is grabbing Killer Frost and flying her up into the air, she says "Hey, watch the hands!". While this is probably not intentional on his part, and he's in a hurry, his arms are crossed directly over her breasts. Nothing that goes past PG.
    • A similar occurrence happens when Giganta, Heatwave, and some other guys are out on a mission. At one point the group starts to walk off, with Giganta still in her giant form. Heatwave walks underneath her, and they actually make a point of showing him briefly stopping and looking up as he does so! Nothing that goes past PG.
      • Devil Ray does the same at some point. Natter.
    • In the same episode, Grodd mentions how bad decisions can come from of 'one of those moods that you get in from time to time'. Giganta replies "I hear that!", which is out-of-the-blue enough to make one suspect that she's actually talking about something a little different... Nothing that goes past PG. Wasn't this already mentioned on the page?
  • There's this exchange between Deadshot and Wonder Woman in "The Enemy Below":
    Deadshot: Why would a hired gun try to shoot somebody? Could it be someone paid me to?
    Wonder Woman: Who?
    Deadshot: Oh, come on, babe. You know I can't tell you that. Professional ethics.
    [cue Male Gaze]
    Deadshot: But, then again, if you make it worth my while...
    Batman: I'll take it from here.
    [Deadshot gets dragged off by Batman]
Nothing that goes past PG.
  • A reporter rudely calls out Wonder Woman on her choice of clothes ("Eclipsed"):
    Godfrey: Role model? Look, I've seen showgirls with more modesty than this so-called Wonder Woman.
    [Wonder Woman breaks the television]
    Wonder Woman: I will not tolerate this!
    Green Lantern: Princess, I don't like Godfrey any more than you do, but in this country the man's entitled to his opinion. However bone-headed it is.
    The Flash: Democracy in action. Hey, didn't the Greeks invent that?
    [Woman Woman glares and goes over to check her reflection]
    Wonder Woman: And what's wrong with the way I dress?!
    The Flash: [to Green Lantern] Uh... You wanna take that?
Nothing that goes past PG.
  • Poor Mercy gets harassed/propositioned/verbally abused multiple times by Lex Luthor in "Tabula Rasa." His taunts implied that they previously had an aggressive sexual relationship. Even a few of the Leaguers referred to their not-so-professional relationship. Nothing that goes past PG.
  • In "The Balance", in the scene where the League's magical members are freaking out, record and reverse Zatanna's backwards ramblings. She's saying "Help us... please! All is lost! Faust sits on the throne of Hell!" And other than it being reversed, it's in no way censored (remember above, where the word "Hell" is subjected to a Curse Cut Short when said forwards later in the same episode). Nothing that goes past PG, it isn't Radar if you have to reverse it.
    • And let us not forget, from the same episode, Flash announcing to the entire lunchroom: "I had dinner with two women at the same time. Cause I'm a stud~!" Nothing that goes past PG.
      • ...and then accidentally squelching his hand into a plate of mashed potatoes, standing there awkwardly with white gunk all over his hands, and then licking it off. Accidental Innuendo. It wouldn't be Radar worthy if it was intentional anyway.
  • In "Ancient History", when Vixen and Hawkgirl are teasing each other back and forth while exercising, Vixen comments that Hawkgirl should stop lifting weights or she'll start getting bulky. Hawkgirl replies that she's just trying to maintain her girlish figure, then trails off grumbling "My girlish, girlish figure..." while the camera centers on her chest. Nothing that goes past PG.
    • Shadow Thief has two instances where he insults Hawkgirl and Vixen; in which he calls the first,"Harlot", and the other,"Zoo Candy". Not Radar worthy.
  • In "The Ties That Bind", Flash, Mr. Miracle and Big Barda just come out of Barda's boom tube. Flash then proceeds to ask, in an episode that focuses on his immaturity: "Why can't your boob tube get us closer?" Don't think so, JL was aimed at older audiences by this point.
  • In "Twilight, Part 1", Superman tries to enlarge a hole in Brainiac's force field. As part of the plan, Darkseid then fires a energy cannon at Brainiac. The beam passes between Superman's legs, and it's colored yellow. Looking too deeply into things, super laser piss wouldn't be Radar worthy anyway.
  • In "Task Force X", Deadshot is introduced to the eponymous group, and comments on seeing pictures of Plastique, an explosives expert.
    Plastique: And that's all you're gonna see, killer.
Nothing that goes past PG.
  • Those two flirted the whole episode. Natter. Not Radar worthy.
  • Could be a reference to Plastique's Defeat by Modesty she suffered in the comics when up against Firestorm. Natter.
  • Task Force X, by the way, is the in-universe government name for what's better known as the Suicide Squad. Natter.
  • In "For The Man Who Has Everything," just before Wonder Woman fires the neural impactor at Mongul, she says "Go. To - " The blast when she shoots the weapon drowns out her last word, but you can read her lips and it's pretty obvious that the last word was "Hell." Nothing that goes past PG.
    • The uncensored "Go to hell!" was used in the comic story from which this episode was adapted. As one of the best lines, they had to at least *try* to get it in. Natter.
  • "Far From Home" doesn't even try for subtlety. When Supergirl catches Brainiac 5 from being thrown across the room, Brainiac questions why she's holding him, leading to this gem:
    Supergirl: Maybe I was just trying to cop a feel.

Nothing that goes past PG, even if it did go past PG, JL was aimed at older audiences by this point.

  • In "The Once and Future Thing: Time, Warped", we get the famous scene showing Old!Bruce scoffing at Young!Bruce's interrogation methods, followed by him brandishing a cane and advancing on their captive; fade out. The implication is that he's willing to resort to physical violence, but... the captive has no visible signs of injury afterward... and he was advancing with a cane... what exactly did he do to him? No, surely not? Nothing that goes past PG.
  • By "Dead Reckoning," they aren't even trying. Tala kneels to Grodd and calls him her master. Not just in an I Owe You My Life sense, but as an implied BDSM pet. She also states that "Giganta isn't enough woman for Grodd." Don't think so, I'm pretty sure JL was aimed at older audiences by this point anyway.

It should be noted that this page was made after 3 episodes.

That's a sure sign people are shoehorning.


[up]According to IMDB, Justice League is rated TV-PG in America and PG in the UK. It's rated G in Quebec, but the Quebeçois censors are pretty lenient, and we would also need to take translation choices into account. Justice League Unlimited is PG in the UK, Australia, and New Zealand It apparently got TV-Y7-FV in America, but that doesn't seem right; I could have sworn at least one episode was TV-14.

And yeah, it was always aimed at teenagers and adults. Overall, none of the examples on that page go past PG, so the bulk of them can be moved to Double Entendre and Accidental Innuendo, and the page then cut.

[up] I remember people bragging that Radar.Sam And Cat was made before the show even aired, given Schneider's track record. Twas a simpler time, I suppose, before we realized tropes need to actually exist in a work to document them.

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

Oh bloody Hell.

Very first edit:

After iCarly and Victorious we're not even going to bother with the pretence of waiting until the first episode airs. This show will contain radar breaking content from the first promo.

Well that page is going to be fun.

I've checked the inbound links page and discovered that Radar.The Brave Little Toaster is getting reddit clicks. We should probably give this one a run through if we haven't yet.

It has two images, which is already dodgy. (Only the second one is the true example by our new standards.)

  • In one scene, the TV, playing up his Insane Proprietor act, pulls some pictures out of a cabinet (making up a scandal about a "competitor"). They're pictures of a topless buxom woman with star pasties, but they're only visible for a split second. In certain reissues in the late 90s and beyond, the pasties have become a slightly more modest top and the breasts have shrunk, so that didn't get past the radar entirely. If it wasn't edited in some reissues then it probably counts in those.
  • In the song "Worthless", the beach car originally sings the line "there were bikinis and buns, there were weenies". While it could just be reading too much into it, in the official soundtrack the line is changed to "there were bikinis and hot dogs and weenies", so apparently someone higher up caught on to the Double Entendre. The whole beach car segment is full of innuendo. It's about the rise of the surfer culture and sexual freedom, under the threat of nuclear war. Fellini refers to Federico Fellini, who is known for movies such as Satyricon and Casanova. And you can probably guess what the line 'I had a hand in the lay of the land' refers to. Hmmm. If it was changed on the soundtrack and not the movie proper it might maybe count, unless the standards are different there. But the rest of the entry just sounds like Parental Bonus.
  • The radio says "damn" and "hell" when quoting Moby-Dick. Double Standard, but still jarring in a family film. And speaking of curse words, AC did say "damn" one time.. It's a G-rated film from 1989... are these words off the table for that rating, even in this quoted context?
  • The reel-to-reel tape player in the parts shop, whose reels resemble something else. Not radar, at worst a Visual Innuendo.
  • One of the most subtle, ingenious examples is this exchange:
    Blanky: (to Kirby) You can't fool us! We love you!
    Radio: Like Mrs. Roosevelt loved her husband.
    • For those unaware of American politics, First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt was rumored to be in a lesbian relationship with a friend. Too subtle, a Parental Bonus at worst.
  • Air Conditioner's line. "Hey, I'm real scared, Kirby. Whaddya gonna do, suck me to death?" Probably Accidental Innuendo.
  • During "City of Light," Kirby momentarily goes behind a tree to dump his vacuum bag, and Toaster scolds Blanky for watching. It's obviously supposed to resemble a different kind of "dump." Toilet Humour, probably not too glaring for a G-rating.
  • In one scene in The Brave Little Toaster To The Rescue, a computer, voiced by comedian Kevin Meaney, has its memory searched through and his reaction is very orgasmic. Probably a Double Entendre / Does This Remind You of Anything?, but not explicit enough to be GCPTR.
    Computer: "Ooh! That feels sort of good!"
    Mouse: "What does?"
    Computer: "My memory banks are being stroked and by an expert. I feel something. Something happening inside me. And I can't keep it to myself any longer!"
    (The computer starts to ejaculate paper)

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

It's a G-rated film from 1989... are these words off the table for that rating, even in this quoted context?

Anecdotally, I saw something once on a Star Wars site about how the use of "hell" in an early The Clone Wars episode drew some pushback (even though Han says it in the original movies...)

That's 19 years later and meant for a slightly older audience, so.

Is it being used in a Biblical sense, or no? I ask because I know Nickelodeon has gotten away with using "Hell" in the Biblical sense, and not as a curse. Then again, that was in the 2010s.
