Maybe I don't understand this trope, but a good half of these don't belong here. Socks and the City is a pun on a very successful television program, no censor is throwing it back, especially when the ACTUAL SHOW is advertised freaking everywhere.
Same goes for Battlestar Galactica and Farscape - it's not surprising that they managed to get imaginary words past the censor, the censor doesn't give a frak about imaginary words, no matter their context. I don't even understand how the Hannah Montana examples fit, the first one seems like a case of someone seeing what they want to see, and as for the second one, it's 2010, common fish puns on pseudo-curse words aren't the hot button topic they used to be.
I haven't seen the Smallville episode mentioned so that quote could be wrong - it looks like it is in fact. Perhaps what the troper meant to write was 'Too busy fucking a hot blonde chick with your penis in her vagina to speak to your father?' because that would actually be a justified entry.
God help television if any of these people get jobs as censors. Anyway like I said, maybe I don't understand this trope at all, and it's not about sneaking dirty stuff past censors so much as it is 'favourite puns and light innuendo.' If that is the case ignore me, but otherwise I am doing some serious spring cleaning.
