* LetsPlay/{{Dream}} and his collaborators generally try to keep his main videos clean of profanity, though streams have been known to involve some spicier language. Bad in particular likes to use "muffin" as a curse substitute. Once when [[https://youtu.be/eDZ-JOqewlA?t=521 killing George in a Manhunt]], Dream very clearly ''almost'' drops an f-bomb, but [[LastSecondWordSwap manages to morph it into "flipping"]].

* In ''WebVideo/SMPLive'', Travis doesn't swear much, if at all, instead opting for words that many would see as more childish. Somewhat [[DownplayedTrope downplayed]], as Travis isn't above being vulgar in other ways, especially in regards to sexual humor.

* ''WebVideo/ActionButton'': As with his other work, the host, Creator/TimRogers, avoids swearing on principle, even when he is directly quoting the game he is reviewing. This leads to some rather hilarious moments such as when he calls a ''Final Fantasy VII'' enemy a "Heck House". Tim even censored ''Cyberpunk 2077''[='s=] profane dialog with the Imp death sound from Doom.

** Linkara of ''WebVideo/AtopTheFourthWall''. Downplayed in that he ''does'' curse, he just doesn't use the "more colorful four letter words" to prove that he doesn't need them to be funny. You can hear him curse a few times in Behind The Scenes videos. This is saying something compared to nearly all of his colleagues. During a live charity drive, he offers to say "Fuck" if enough money is donated. The other reviewers point out that he just did.

* In the review for ''VideoGame/NoituLove'', WebVideo/{{Hadriex}} just can't say things like "that Darn army of robots" or "that darn creator" aloud with a straight face.
* From ''Website/ChannelAwesome'':
** WebVideo/ThatDudeInTheSuede doesn't use then because he is never angry enough (and possibly because of his [[UsefulNotes/{{Mormonism}} religious upbringing]]).

* ''WebVideo/TheAngryVideoGameNerd'':
** An aversion in the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w2ZX_ToJHFk Lester the Unlikely]] review, but only at the cave stage in the game.
** In his crossover with ''Captain S'', the Nerd was forced to tone down the language due to ''WebVideo/TheNewAdventuresOfCaptainS'' being a G-rated show. Needless to say, it's weird as hell hearing the normally foul-mouthed Nerd saying things like "What a buttload of crud."
** He does get to swear normally at the end of the episode, though it's bleeped out.
** He makes up for his lack of profanity in his next review, [[PrecisionFStrike within the first sentence]].
* [[WebVideo/StuartAshen Ashens]] does this as he stops himself swearing in his "Sonic Man" (a Robocop rip-off) toy review. This was [[EnforcedTrope due to YouTube becoming much harsher with their monetization-appropriate content rules]], although Ashens adds that he doesn't need to swear to make his videos funny. [[spoiler:Subverted. Ashens defies thus trope immediately afterwards by describing the toy as a "Mother-fucking piss-faced lump of wanky twat shit."]]
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uovMpapeCJQ "Scarface School Play"]] demonstrates this trope to a hilarious extreme.
* Several LetsPlay members, particularly those not associated with Website/SomethingAwful, do this. Examples include the Linkara-esque LetsPlay/DeceasedCrab, the {{Badbutt}} {{Manchild}} LetsPlay/SirRonLionHeart, and AutoTune [=NBA2K=] fan LetsPlay/ChrisSmoove.
** LetsPlay/{{Raocow}} swore a lot more in some of his earlier videos, and still at times lets a swear past when stressed (usually [[BilingualBonus in French]]), but even when that happens, they're generally not that strong. Any other time, however...
-->'''Raocow:''' Oh, pumpernickel.
** LetsPlay/{{Kikoskia}} often says "Fiddlesticks" and the like. Out of ''hundreds'' of videos, he's sworn ''twice''.
* Lampshaded/directly quoted in Volume 8 of ''Blog/MyOpinionsOnEveryPokemonEver''.
* [[LetsPlay LPer]] LetsPlay/SuperSkarmory avoids cursing in his walkthroughs. As long as they're not Franchise/{{Castlevania}}.
-->'''Super Skarmory:''' Holy... pickles.
* ''WebVideo/StuffYouLike'''s Sursum Ursa, seeing as the show normally carries a PG rating.
--> Sursum Ursa: [[Series/{{Sherlock}} He's]] completely bat[[Series/BattlestarGalactica2003 frakked!]]
* LetsPlay/SlimKirby tends to avoid strong swear words. He drops a PrecisionFStrike from time to time, but it's a rare occurrence.
* ''Theatre/AVeryPotterMusical'' parodies this trope. In the canon of the first musical (set in the "second year" for Hogwarts students), every character swears, our hero even dropping the [[PrecisionFStrike F-bomb]] once. However, in the sequel (or really the "prequel," seeing as it's set in the FIRST year of the students at Hogwarts), when Professor Lupin swears, the children cover their ears and gasp until he replaces it with something less obscene.
* Creator/OlanRogers never uses a more vulgar word than "crap", and his videos are much funnier for it.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LdKAxdyz05Y This]] Website/CollegeHumor sketch makes fun of excessive TV re-editing.
* The language on WebVideo/EatYourKimchi is kept pretty clean ''most'' of the time.
* Creator/{{Egoraptor}} from ''WebVideo/GameGrumps'' has a habit of combining this with genuine swearing.
-->'''Egoraptor''': What the fucking gosh dang!?
* WebVideo/{{PeanutButterGamer}} doesn't use swearing in his videos, he has said he doesn't swear because he doesn't feel he needs to.
* Bonesaw of ''Literature/{{Worm}}'' speaks like this, and chides other characters for swearing, which is actually a plot point when [[spoiler:[[DramaticIrony she's impersonating Tattletale to an amnesiac Taylor]].]]
* Maggie Holt in ''Literature/{{Pact}}'' is unable to swear, having traded the ability away to a goblin. She gets caught out by this several times during the Toronto arc, [[spoiler: which is a sign that [[GrandTheftMe all is not as it seems.]] When she later [[LossOfIdentity loses her name]] and regains the ability to swear, she uses it fairly often.]]
* LetsPlay/RoahmMythril has only gotten to "Bastard". Later videos never use the word, and even when the game swears, ''he will not.''
* ''WebVideo/PittsburghDad'''s {{Catchphrase}} "Ah, jeez!"
* Parodied in ''WebVideo/ThirdRateGamer''. In the ''VideoGame/ChipNDaleRescueRangers'' "review", he starts awkwardly shoehorning in G-rated curse words alongside the typical fare, in response to how the ''WebVideo/TheIrateGamer'' suddenly started to inconsistently tone down the cursing in his videos.
* This is a mandate whenever ''[[WebVideo/PoohsAdventures Pooh's Adventures]]'' tackles a mature movie or TV show. They would censor the "inappropriate content" when it involves language. The other stuff is left alone.
* LetsPlay/{{Darkmindedsith}} tries to do this for his videos. He claims that he wants to be kid-friendly on his channel.
* In [[https://notalwaysright.com/doesnt-quite-swear-by-that-dvd-player/82310/ this]] submission to ''Website/NotAlwaysRight'', an irritated customer switches to saying "poo-poo caca" when he notices that [[NotInFrontOfTheKid there's a young child standing nearby]].
* Despite the team at Creator/RoosterTeeth being able to swear like sailors, there are a number of times where they have averted it.
** Geoff Ramsay will not swear around his daughter and the times where he's on camera with her or doing a Let's Play, he refrains from doing so.
** During their Extra Life '15 livestream, they got Lindsay Jones to read an excerpt from ''Literature/FiftyShadesOfGrey'' as Ruby Rose from ''WebAnimation/{{RWBY}}''. However, she doesn't like the idea of having her character cuss, thus invokes this trope by having Christian telling Anastasia "I don't make love. I truck. I truck hard."
** David from ''WebAnimation/{{Camp Camp}}'' plays this very straight.
--->'''David''': What the gosh-darn-heck happened here!?
* WebVideo/FightingLeaf does ''not'' swear at all in his reviews. He tries to be as kid-friendly as possible because of the types of movies he reviews.
* Creator/JoshScorcher is not very fond of swearing. When he DOES swear, it's usually censored.
* Zig-zagged on ''LetsPlay/TheBowlingOtterShow''. Both hosts are pretty good at keeping their own language within a clean range, even if the games they play have significantly harsher profanity. But on occasion they'll let a Precision F-Strike slip, usually when startled during a horror game.
* Timothy Mcgladden, [[DoNotCallMePaul who would rather go by the name PK]] (short for the nonsensical name [=PksparxxDathotneSS=]) will always exclaim "YOU SON OF A BISCUIT!" or just "SON OF A BISCUIT!!" rather than cuss. He will also say "You rooney-dooney!" from time to time. EnforcedTrope in that PK generally wants to keep things family-friendly (and was commented on positively for that in at least one of his videos for showing class), and if he accidentally curses, he will go back and edit it out (at least one time doing so rather humorously with the coin get sound effect from ''VideoGame/SuperMarioBros1'') However, his livestreams are not subject to this rule, as people he plays with can let curses fly because he has no control over what they say, and PK himself has been known to let his own tongue slip, especially when somebody really pissed him off by saying something so rude PK directly addressed them by explicitly saying "shut the fuck up".
* Cryssi of ''Website/DivaDirt'' got in a fantastic one in one editorial (and note that the website doesn't have a policy against swearing):
--> "What the H-E-double hockeysticks?"
* This is the reason behind the "Let [That Guy] Say Fuck" meme. When a fandom finds out that a character frequently never swears or uses minced oaths, they usually make jokes about the giving that character the chance to launch a PrecisionFStrike.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC0-swBG9Ne0Vh4OuoJ2bjbA?&ab_channel=rSlash rSlash]] had to start censoring himself with euphemisms in an attempt to keep his videos from being demonetized. It's easy enough with standard swear words, as most of them have a family-friendly substitute. However, more explicit content requires him to get creative. The most common is using "hugging passionately" or variants thereof in place of "sex".
* LetsPlay/{{Dream}} and his collaborators generally try to keep his main videos clean of profanity, though streams have been known to involve some spicier language. Bad in particular likes to use "muffin" as a curse substitute. Once when [[https://youtu.be/eDZ-JOqewlA?t=521 killing George in a Manhunt]], Dream very clearly ''almost'' drops an f-bomb, but [[LastSecondWordSwap manages to morph it into "flipping"]].
** Meanwhile, over on the LetsPlay/DreamSMP, while Dream, Techno, and especially Bad tend to not swear often, Tommy very much ''[[SirSwearsALot does]]'', which has led to several comedic moments such as Tommy and the rest of Pogtopia trying to scare away Bad by swearing at him.
* [[WebVideo/The8BitDrummer The 8-Bit Drummer]] explicitly avoids cursing on his Twitch streams. This is parodied in a bumper where he explains "alternative swearing", in which any word can sound like a swear with the right inflection.
-->'''[[FirstNameBasis Jerod]]:''' Oh '''[[UnusualEuphemism EGGS]]'''!
** However, he used to use the word "shite", believing it to be a euphemism when it was actually a different swear entirely. He dropped this word when his chat pointed it out.
