Getting Crap Past the Radar cleanup

"Cuz I always get my best ideas when I'm wet" sounds more like an Accidental Innuendo to me, especially out of context.

Oh, I believe in yesterday

Back again, I've been looking over the Power Rangers page, and oh boy does it need work. I'll come back later with my results, but the whole page could probably be cut.

All right, I'm going to go through Radar.Victorious. Based on previous discussion, I'm going to assume that Victorious, like iCarly, is aimed at tweens and younger teenagers.

Ratings from IMDb:

• USA: TV-Y7, TV-G
• Canada: G, PG
• Australia: PG
• New Zealand: PG
• Ireland: G, PG
• UK: PG, 12 (Series 2)

As ever, I am going to err on the side of caution and assume that every episode got the higher rating unless there is contrary evidence. This look contains some actual profanity, and a short rant about how porn isn't real.

I don't see a problem with this.

That's a sure sign of shoehorning.

---

None of this stuff is part of an episode. The age ratings only apply to the episodes themselves, not to supplementary material. We have no idea what Nickelodeon's internal standards might be, or if those standards apply to websites, and so we can't say whether any of this is against the rules.

---

Eesh. That hurt me. Physically hurt me. I actually banged my head on the floor at how ridiculous some of these are (don't worry, my floor is carpeted and I didn't bang too hard). The tropers who wrote these examples have a weird obsession with the lengths of the girls' skirts and the positions of their crotches, and have a view of women's clothing comparable to that of Catholic priests in 1960s Ireland.

A few of these examples appear to be salvageable by puttin them on other tropes, but the majority will just be deleted.

I just want to comment on the porn rant by pointing out that some people are legitimately into things like being spanked. It's a similar kink to things like BDSM. Some people are turned on by the domination stuff and the pain.

I'm not saying that example is valid. I'm just saying that it's not just a porn thing.

Vampire, do you need to lie down for a second?

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

Whoa there, that must've been some serious Brain Bleach for you, Vampire.

Anyways, you make points about a lot of these in general. We pretty much have to cut down on the natter too.

Oh boy. Found an interesting Roblox example but not sure if this a good place or not to discuss its addition.

Warjay: I guess, but people are into all sorts of things. Saying spanking is automatically a radar dodge is, like, Fetish Myopia or something.

mewtron: It's OK, I got a good night's sleep right after posting that.

Siegfried: Post away.

Oh yeah, sure. The example sucks either way and your analysis was great. We just can't get too hung up on what people are "really" into since, ya know...fetishes be wacky.

What does Grandma's Chicken Salad mean?

A term that came from Friends, referring to things that aren't dirty but are believed to be.

Currently Working On: Incorruptible Pure Pureness

Well, for starters, there's a game on Roblox that's titled Mime Theme Park Hangout. The catch, however, is that it's based on Mime and Dash... an NSFW animation by Derpixon. (Yes, I know about this. I blame going around the internet too much).

If anything, that sounds more like Parental Bonus

Surfboard: Grandma's Chicken Salad is taking completely innocent things and insisting they're dirty. It's a reference to what Joey does in this scene:

and, thank you. Google took my results too literally.

Victorious examples have been moved to Noodle Incident, Accidental Innuendo, Naked People Are Funny, Naked People Trapped Outside, and G-Rated Drug. Anything else anybody wants to salvage from that page?

Ukrainian Red Cross

Could probably punt some stuff to DIH but I don't know how much I care to do it at this very moment. You preserved the examples on your review anyway.

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

All right, let's round out the Nickverse with a look at Radar.Sam and Cat, which notoriously had a Radar/ page before the show even aired. Fortunately for my sanity, Jennette McCurdy quit acting after the first or second season (depending on how you slice it), so there are far fewer examples.

Age ratings from IMDb:

• USA: TV-Y7, TV-G, TV-PG with content warning for suggestive dialogue and sexual situations.
• Australia: PG
• UK: PG (Season1), U (Season 2); because Sam & Cat only aired on Netflix, the show was not directly rated by the BBFC; instead, Netflix did an internal rating, which they report is to the same criteria used by the BBFC.

As ever, I am going to err on the side of caution and judge each episode according to the criteria of the highest rating listed unless given evidence that particular episode garnered a lower rating. As with iCarly and Victorious, occasionally showing a bra or mentioning breasts is acceptable under the U rating.

It's good to note that this page was created before the first episode even aired. (What can we say? Dan Schneider has a reputation and we're Genre Savvy.) This is going to be nothing but shoehorning, isn't it?

"#Pilot"

• "How much Bieber did you sniff?" This is just silliness
• "Hey, quit sniffing the Biebes" a drug and sex joke all on one prop. Sounds more like they're just being silly
• "I'm gonna faint!... Or puke!... I'm gonna fuke!" Portmanteau, not a real curse
• Cat accidentally slaps Sam in the boob◊. The show doesn't make a big deal of it, but Sam is visibly less than amused. Tropers are obsessing over things being in the general vicinity of women's chests
• Chloe and Max: "Our mom already left for work. She dances near the airport." The second line only appeared in a promo, and was cut from the episode, understandably. Doesn't break radar if it's one joke that isn't even in the episode
• Sam and Cat's method of 'CPR' involves one of them raising and lowering a guy's legs while the other bounces on his chest with her butt. Then they switch. Cat is a cloudcuckoolander and Sam doesn't know how to do CPR

"#FavoriteShow"

• The titular favorite show, "That's a Drag". It consists of cross-dressing characters. Drag. You do the math. Crossdressing is funny
• When Sam is looking through the TV guide, one of the show titles is 'Extreme Groin Injuries'. Comedic, unrealistic violence
• Bob's hugging and Ethan's questions frequently bypass the radar. Doubt
  • Sam gets annoyed with Bob and sends him off to hug a stranger.
• When Cat yells "SHUT THE FRIDGE?!", at first it sounds like she was beginning to say something else... Doubt
• Sam and Cat share a "butt bump" at the end of the episode ("Roommate power!"). What. Joke of the Butt

"#BritBrats"

• The two little girls being led off by a man pretending to be a cop. Nothing explicit
• The brats' shenanigans got someone killed in the past. Noodle Incident, and the show is rated PG

"#NewGoat"

• The little kids' prank call to Inside Out Burger includes such lines as "How big are your buns?" and "Are your buns firm?" Joke of the Butt
• Sam tells Dilben to "suck a truck." Trucks are not dicks

"#TextingCompetition"

• At the start, Sam teaches a kid how to speed text by rolling his thumb, using an example of "Waz." Cat then cheerily explains how Sam frequently texts Cat of her wazzing, while she's wazzing. Waz is a funny word
• The discussion of Dice's annoying friend: The natter says they're talking about actual eggs
  Sam: Wow, he's really sucking down that egg.
  Dice: Yeah, cuz he loves 'em. All he does is eat eggs.
  • They meant actual eggs, but it's a bit misleading to some viewers.
• A Zoolander reference when Sam and Cat win the RC boat. Parental Bonus

"#BabysittingWar"

• At the start, a dog bursts into the living room where Sam's sleeping and sits on her head. She immediately assumes it's Cat. From what we've seen of Cat, this isn't outside the realm of possibility
• Sam and Cat's fight at the restaurant has their legs interlocking, and at one point Sam straddles Cat for a second. Accidental Innuendo
• Sam holding two motorcycle helmets up at around her breasts and asking Cat if she was expecting them. Things in the general vicinity of breasts
• At the very end Cat and Sam discuss whether or not they could use the Urinal on Sam's wall. Toilet Humour
  Sam: "It would be difficult...but not impossible"

"#BabysittingGoomer"

• An Adult male staying alone with two underage females probably only by passed the radar due to the mental state of the male. Oh not every man is a paedophile. Also aren't they 18 by this point?
  • Made worse when at one point he jumps in bed with Cat and then later grabs one of the girls' bra that had been left hanging out. Bra
• Goomer pushing Cat under the table looks like something a grown man shouldn't do to a teenage girl. Doubt
  • Cat also took a picture of Sam's legs while down there.
• Sam having to explain to Cat what a low blow is. Groin attacks do not violate the radar

"#ToddlerClimbing"

• Yet again, Cat winds up on top of Sam. We probably should just stop bringing this up, you know it happens at least Once an Episode. Shoehorning

"#MommaGoomer"

• When meeting Goomer's mom, Sam asks Goomer if he met his mother (calling her this pretty lady) on scrumptiousladies.com. Goomer responds by saying "That's just sick." Sounds like a funny misunderstanding
• Pretty much everything Ms. Merr says and/or does. ZCE
• Cat: "Like when the three wise men brought baby Jesus" Cat is a cloudcuckoolander

"#BabysittingCommericial"

• Nona asks Cat if the "Mustard-aid" came from a horse, implying that it's urine. Toilet Humour
  • in the German dub, she literally asks "Is this horse urine?"
• The whistle Cat uses when the guy running the dog shelter tried to hug her was a lot like a rape whistle. Whistles aren't the issue
• The dog and Alexis are in a sexual position at the dog contest. Doubt
• Sam says "I ate so much wad" (popcorn held together by honey). Accidental Innuendo

"#SecretSafe"

• Dice dancing for money at girls' parties calls to mind the idea of a cash-strapped stripper. If he's only dancing it's fine
  Sam: "Dice, man"
  Cat: "You don't have to put on the red tights."
• Judging by Dice's reaction to the bucket at the end of the episode, we can safely assume that Cat did indeed piss into a bucket. Toilet Humour

"#MotorcycleMystery"

• At least half a dozen uses of the word nipple (in reference to part of a baby bottle) in the first two minutes. That's what it's called.

"#PeezyB"

• From Sam acting like she caught Cat cheating on her to Sam giving a girl to two men who are going to Mexico, this whole episode is one big ol' Radar Jump. The joke is that they act like they're married when they aren't
• Sam and Cat's argument sounded like a married couple would do in "#PeezyB". The joke is that they act like they're married when they aren't
  Sam: I'm out working all night and I come back and find you with another girl?!
  Cat: What did you expect?! You work all the time, and I have needs!

"#SalmonCat"

• The repeated use of Unusual Euphemisms such as Bijon and fudge. Ratings agencies only care about actual cursing

"#DollSitting"

• Sam chasing Cat around the living room saying "Daddy loves you!" in a seriously creepy voice. Sam is a jerk
• Dice greeting the girls with "Happy Halloween, witches!" It's Hallowe'en. There are witches. And calling someone a witch is allowed

"#Twinfection"

Cat: When I say Aybra Kadaybra-
Sam: You told me to stop making fun of your A-bra. *An offended Cat covers her breasts*

Breasts

• For one thing, Cat's trick involved making Sam think that licking chicken did weird things to her head... General silliness
• Then on Sam's end, during Melanie's second 'attack', she full-on kissed Cat on the lips. And no one denies that this happened in the slightest. Doesn't violate PG.
  • In fact, it becomes a minor plot point in Sam's plan.

"#MyPoober"

• Sam's apparent addiction to root beer resembles stereotypical alcoholism. G-Rated Drug
  Sam (yelling at Cat): I drink root beer because of you!
• Again, a young girl is left alone with an adult man, this time in a shack in the middle of an empty cemetery at night. Does he do anything objectionable? Seriously, most men aren't sexual predators
• Spanish is the vehicle used for getting this bit past the radar in a bonus scene during the credits. Comedic, unrealistic violence that doesn't happen on screen and doesn't violate PG
  Sam (at Cat): Si no encontramos nuestra piña llena de dinero tendré que agarrar las tijeras y cortarse los dedos de los pies!
  Translation: If we don't find our pineapple full of money I will have to grab the scissors and cut off your toes!

"#BlueDogSoda"

• The fact that the lab that Sam, Cat, Dice and Goomer use to make the illegal Blue Dog soda looks a lot like a meth lab. And it exploded like one too. Sounds like it's a Breaking Bad reference, which means it falls under Parental Bonus

"#TheKillerTunaJump"

• Cat's Green-Eyed Monster jealousy of Sam and Jade's new friendship comes off sounding more like a jilted lover than of friendship. That's the joke
• Cat seductively asking Freddie if they want to hang out. Just romance
  • The two of them flirt in Spanish.
• Robbie accuses Freddie of Fadoodling Cat all around Hollywood. Quite possibly the most blatant sexual reference on a Nickelodeon show follows: Vague enough that it doesn't violate U
  Freddie: I didn't fadoodle with Cat!
  Cat: You could have if you wanted to!
• Jade kicking out the boys out of a table with just a stare. While the boys flee in terror with that very look, it looks more seductive and arousing than it is terrifying. But it's supposed to look scary; Liz Gillies just has a very seductive air about her.
  • Considering what Jade finds arousing they have a good reason to flee.
• After Sam kisses Robbie, she says sultrily, "That was some tasty Robbie." They're just kissing
• After Cat locks Sam in a closet and dresses in a stunt outfit in order to jump the killer tuna in her place, Sam points out that people will recognize her since they don't have the same body type. This leads to Cat grabbing two oranges and stuffing them in her outfit, making her chest stick out. Right before she leaves, she says, "Yay boozums!". (Watch for the oranges after the bike wreck.) Breasts

"#BlooperEpisode" has so much: Look, this is a blooper episode, so it's all accidents. None of this is intentional, and even if it was put on screen, the tone is "Look what happens when things go wrong!"

• Sam licks Cat's mouth at one point.
• Sam grinds against Cat during the Dance Party Ending.
• Merf starts trying to shove his face up Cat's skirt.
• Sinjin from Victorious kisses both Cat and Zoran on the forehead. Their faces after this are priceless.
• Ariana Grande does a lot of twerking between takes.

"#StuckInABox"

• While in the box, Cat complains to Sam that she has an itch that she can't reach. Sam tells her to rub the part of the body that itches against the box, and Cat's noises she makes during and after this is downright hilarious. So it's an itch in that spot between the shoulder blades. Sounds more like Cat is just geting a really good scratch
• A teenage customer and the teenage magician has a conversation which involves this crude joke: Grandma's Chicken Salad
  Magician: It then disappears!
  Customer: The shirt?!
  Magician: No silly, the ink!
• Dice and Goomer's faces when they think that Sam murdered the teen magician are priceless. The way the paint was spilled looked like Sam snapped his neck! No actual violence, doesn't violate U, let along PG

#SuperPsycho

• They get this out of the way early on with Cat trying to soak apples in cranberry sauce. She calls them 'crapples'. Portmanteau, Scunthorpe Problem
  Cat: How's it taste?
  Sam: Like crapple.
• This moment: Breasts
  Nevel: Wrong, sir![Sam glances down at her chest]

#KnockOut

• To help Goomer, an adult male, prepare to ask out Rita, an adult woman, Sam gets Cat, a teenage girl, to pretend to flirt with him. Including putting her hands on top of his. It's little wonder he legs it Isn't Cat 18 by this point?

Is "crap" allowed on Y7? I guess Ren and Stimpy used it back then... though most of what I recall saves it for PG, and this show doesn't seem to have a language warning in your given American ratings ("suggestive dialogue" is different).

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

Just out of curiosity, what does that have to do with anything?

Went through the Power rangers page and ho boy. Here's what's on there:

• Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers:
  • In "Green with Evil, Part IV", when Those Two Guys Bulk and Skull are caught in yet another monster attack:
  Bulk: I Want My Mommy!!
  Skull: (without thinking) Yeah — I want your mommy!
  (Bulk shoots him a look) Common joke in most kids shows. Hardly Radar worthy.
  • In one episode, a harmless monster called Pudgy Pig spends most of the episode on a farm courting a regular female pig. He asks her to "come to the pig sty and make beautiful bacon together". It doesn't take a genius to figure out what he means... maybe? romance isn't exactly bannable in kids shows and it's really more inferred by w/e
  • And on the topic of their monsters...How the hell did the Bloom of Doom get past the radar? We can't be the only ones who see that. looks like a flower to me. This is a strech
  • The last episode of Mighty Morphin Season 1 contains a monster that looks very phallic and shoots pink goo. Not everything is freudulin. Not every phallic looking thing is sexual.'
  • "Lights, Camera, and Action" has Rocky making the following remark:
  Rocky: They (the Power Rangers) really reached out and touched me! [1] the link even confirms it.
  • What makes that better is the sly look he gives Adam before delivering the line. this is just bulleted wrong.
  • Zedd ultimately wants a baby. Rita doesn't want to be pregnant. Yes, they have Zedd and Rita discussing their sex life.
    • The funniest part? They actually wind up having a kid. Mummies and daddies have babies. This is nothing.
  • The Season 3 episode "Follow That Cab!" has Tommy saying he's glad he can make Kim scream. [2]
  • When Kimberly is sent back in time to the 1800's, she meets and briefly empowers the Wild West ancestors of her teammates. Aisha's ancestor is a stylish young woman named Miss Alicia. "Miss [First Name]" is an old-fashioned way of addressing a prostitute. I seriously doubt this was intentional. [3] at worst.
• Power Rangers Zeo:
  • In A Zeo Beginning, we get, um, whatever you call this, between Tommy and Tanya. link is broken.
  • In one episode, Rocky is mutating into a plant, and he says to Kat: "You've got nice leaves."
    • "Your branches aren't bad either." Apparently, bushes have no respect for women. probably the only moment on this list I agree with.
• Turbo:
  • They managed to get the villain being a terrorist bomber past the radar by referring to the bombs as "detonators" as she tried to bomb fire trucks, bridges, parks, skyscrapers... This was a pre-9/11 TV show and Lost Galaxy had suicide bombers in the finale. Put it under [4] I'd say.Plus building get destroyed all the time, as is the nature of this show.
  • Divatox in general is a major example: her costume is quite revealing for something from a kids show. Especially in the movie where she wears a chest plate that shows off quite a lot◊ of Hillary Shepard Turner's bust. revealing costumes aren't uncommon in kids TV/movies. Also the picture is broken.
  • Don't forget the infamous episode of Turbo in which the Rangers are baked into a giant pizza. TJ confronts the monster with the wonderful quote: "We're here to toss your salad!" [5]. Hilarious as the line is, that's all it is.
• Power Rangers in Space:
  • The Craterite Invasion ends with Bulk and Skull attempting to unmask supposed aliens at The Surf Spot with a device they call a stripper, which backfires and leaves the two of them in their underwear, and Adelle making it worse by saying "Now we know why they call it a stripper.". ...this just explains the joke.
  • In one of the early Psycho Ranger appearances during Power Rangers in Space, Ashley has an obvious panty shot that the censors apparently missed. I think this applies but I'll let others be the judge.
    • Interestingly enough, her undershorts were actually yellow, corresponding to her Ranger color. You wonder if the costuming department actually had that much influence.
  • In the gag reel of the credits of "The Barillian Sting", Christopher Khayman Lee, voicing Andros the Red Ranger, managed to pull a joke (with the dialogue toned-down in later airings; turning it into more of a "blink-and-you'll-miss-it" joke), where Andros finds a bottle of blue pills marked "Stud". (Originally, Andros hung a lampshade, pointing out that "this is just what you need to score with the chicks!", but in later airings and versions, he just says "I've been looking all over for these things!") second video is broken, but I say keep unless others have an objection.
• In a Lost Galaxy episode, Leo tried to score a date with a girl but had to deal with her motorcycle-riding brother. At one point, the brother offers "Want to take her for a test drive?" The question hangs in the air for a bit before he clarifies "The bike!" I saw this episode recently and this is an exaggeration.
  • Not to mention that the last episodes feature the villain ordering suicide bombings. ZCE and I mentioned earlier this was a pre-9/11 TV show.
• Lightspeed Rescue had the Hot Scientist recuperating in the medical wing... and the Dogged Nice Guy pursuing her trying to peek under her sheet. (Don't worry. They end up married.) Again, saw this episode recently and this is false.
• Power Rangers Time Force crosses this with Unfortunate Implications: The heroes of the series are from a eugenic utopia, and the bad guys are the rejects. Not getting into this now, but that is an extreme oversimplification and a half-truth said by the main villain who was just using it as an excuse to wage war.
  • It's not just implications: being treated the way they were is why the mutants turned against humanity. Revenge means becoming what you hate, and it being a vicious cycle and all... it's kinda what the whole series is about. There's a reason PRTF is considered one of the darkest... and one of the best. Pointless natter
• Wild Force had main character Cole's parents murdered by the Big Bad prior to the first episode. The Fox Kids censors would only let Cole's parents be murdered because the producers lied that the show would later reveal that Cole's parents were alive and were merely a brainwashed Jindrax and Toxica, knowing full well that the show was moving to ABC Kids/ABC Family in the second half and that Disney didn't bother to watch the first half, and was ignorant to that scene. I'd say this counts. Both owners (Saban and Disney)planned to have the parents live but the producers essentially tricked them.
  • And the way they died is definitely a Family-Unfriendly Death. ZCE. They were will by bad CGI for those wondering
  • Averted in “Forever Red”, which aired during Wild Force. Originally they were going to make a reference to "those stories [about Jason and Tommy] on the Internet". (They had switched networks by this point, so it's likely that Disney's censors forced them to remove it.) The very fact that it was averted means this doesn't belong here
• A few in Ninja Storm:
  • One episode opens with Shane and Dustin ogling a computer with lines like "what a babe" and "check out the lines on her". Cam catches them and remarks "I hope you guys aren't doing anything illegal". Embarrassed, the two try to hide the computer, only for Cam to grab it and find they were looking at... readouts of the new motorcycles they received last episode. SLC for this one.
  • In the episode "Nowhere to Grow," the plant monster moans in a seductive voice, and in the voice tells her little plants to "Grow baby grow," among other seductive one-liners. If listening, without watching, you'd think you were watching a cheesy porn. Sounds like Accidental Innuendo
• An early episode of Power Rangers S.P.D.has Red Ranger Jack approached by an attractive young recruit, asking him to show her "some close-quarter defensive maneuvers." This is nothing.
• Mystic Force had this in the finale:
  Xander: Leelee's mom is hot!
  Vida: (wide eyes, big grin, enthusiastic nodding) Uh-huh!
  • (Adding to the subtext, up to that point Leelee's mom was the vampire queen Necrolai. Who had briefly turned Vida into a vampire earlier in the season.) Maybe, but it's more weird than anything.
• Jungle Fury did something very funny:
  Theo: Have you seen Lily?
  RJ: She's getting her groove on with Casey. (pelvic thrusts)
  • (Casey's and Lily's actors were dating for a brief period of time, making this Hilarious in Hindsight, although they've since broken up) SLC
  • Also from Jungle Fury, villainess Jellica (whose underbust noticeably did not get past the US radar) commenting on Jarrod's "power and technique" as her gaze lowers to his crotch level. This is a strech.
• Power Rangers RPM:
  • While fighting a Vacuum Cleaner monster, Scott is able to get away with the pun: "Suck on this!" '''A very common pun. Unless everyone who has ever said "you suck" meant it sexually.
• In Power Rangers Samurai, when Mia and Emily pose as brides, a close-up◊ of the wedding registry shows that one of the couples due to get married that day had the respective last names of Beaver and Wetter. '''Links are broken. [[Freeze Frame bonus]]
• In the Megaforce episode "Man and Machine", the Monster of the Week likes to go out in sunny weather because that's when he can steal and eat the shadows of people, freezing them in place. So when the new Megazord is formed to bring down the monster, Troy manages to get away with this line:
  Let's hit this guy where the sun don't shine! Very common phrase. even in kids shows.
• In the premiere episode of Dino Charge, Tyler pulls out things from his backpack to use as weapons to fend off the Monster of the Week. He first pulls out a banana, then a pair of underwear, and finally a shovel. This is nothing.
• This isn’t limited to the TV series. In the 2018 annual for the Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers comic book series, one story focuses on the Rangers of Power Rangers Ninja Steel. Calvin mentions a nightmare he had, then his girlfriend Hayley whispers, “He woke up screaming.” In other words, Calvin and Hayley have slept together. This did not go unnoticed by Nico Greetham, Calvin’s actor A COUPLE SLEEPS IN THE SAME BED! THE HORROR! FFS This isn't the 1950s, also the comics are aimed at an older audience so the point is moot.

---

I'll come back later to make the actual changes. Any opinions otherwise?

mewtron: OK, that one probably does qualify if we can prove that particular episode was TV-Y7.

nrjxll: Just a joke. The Radar/ pages for iCarly and Victorious were very long and frustrating, but Sam & Cat had far fewer episodes and so its Radar/ page doesn't have as many examples.

---

zendle:

Rocky becoming a plant: I think that's just supposed to be plant stuff. Not sexual.

Detonators in Turbo is closer to Funny Aneurism Moment

Divatox is sexy◊ but it's nothing kids haven't seen somebody's older sister wearing.

Ashley's panties only count if it's intentional.

The blue pills marked stud: OK, that one is probably valid since it did get changed in later airings.

Cole's parents: ^{[citation needed]}

Seriously, I've watched iCarly (my son was into it for a while) and while they pushed boundaries frequently and intentionally, Nickelodeon did approve the show. Innuendo is not Radar.

Edited by Fighteer on Aug 31st 2021 at 7:20:06 AM

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

Turns out that the "crapples" episode is TV-PG so I guess it doesn't count there either.

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

I've moved the pills example to the In Space page because that's the only legit example there. Can someone delete the main Radar page for PR? I don't know how to do it >_<

I'm going to start going through Radar.Comic Books, starting with Radar.Archie Comics. I believe that Archie was the last company to seek Comics Code approval, right up until the Comics Code itself was finally abolished.

• Original Comics Code (1954)
• 1971 revision
• 1989 revision

---

Archie has been around since 1941, before the Comics Code was even introduced. This example is incredibly vague, and what was permitted in 1945 was not so in 1955. Still, even the 1954 version of the Code didn't actually ban bikinis - it specifically says "All characters shall be depicted in dress reasonably acceptable to society." In 1954, bikinis were gradually starting to become acceptable as beachwear, so I don't think this example counts.

I couldn't find any reference to this on DuclDuckGo or Google. If this exists, it's almost certainly unintentional.

^{[citation needed]}

I found a summary, and wow, that actually looks valid! (the comic came out in 1981, not the 70s, but it's still rather more sexually charged without consideration of the family unit than one would expect).

I couldn't find any evidence this story exists. If someone can dig up the exact issue we can judge.

The Code censors could be notorious jackasses, but in this case it's clear that Archie is talking about an actual bird. This seems fine.

I couldn't find any information about this story; in any case, this sounds more like a Parental Bonus.

"Jackass" isn't really a curse.

But she wasn't actually mooning; it was just a misunderstanding. This is fine.

In all probability, the troper is reading too much into this. Ronnie is normally a boy's name, since it's much more often short for Ronald than Veronica. The friend thus assumed that, because Betty's brunette friend is a girl, she must be Juggie.

^{[citation needed]} .

Accidental Innuendo at worst.

So an adult woman is interested in a rich adult man? Even the 1954 version didn't forbid romantic hijinks.

Eh, this seems like it would fly even in 1954.

You know that bees don't have sex with flowers, right?

I'm pretty sure this is Have a Gay Old Time

It was never against the rule to portray men being attracted to women.

Accidental Innuendo

Accidental Innuendo

What?

Too vague.

Possibly valid; I wasn't able to find the issue this happens in.

Sounds more like Naked People Are Funny.

If they're just acting silly, it's fine.

This happened in Betty and Veronica #320 (1982), but Cheryl and Jason were punished for their behaviour, so the Comics Code approves.

Looks like that was published in 1982. Kissing is fine. The 1974 revision doesn't mention alcohol, but it does have a lot of rules about how to portray illegal drugs. I'd need to see the actual issue to determine if this does violate the Code, but I'm leaning on "no".

This is innocent.

This came well after the Comics Code was abolished, and the new continuity isn't even trying to be child-friendly.

And she is in the study. This is acceptable.

Silly misunderstanding.

Conclusion: One example that looks valid. I am genuinely surprised they managed to use the word "sexy" in 1981.
