* ''WebAnimation/TheAmazingDigitalCircus'': In the Pilot, when Pomni swears only for it to get bleeped with an InUniverse NarrativeProfanityFilter, Caine explains that the program they're in disallows swearing. Pomni then unleashed a series of curses that get censored with a varity of sound effects.
-->'''Pomni:''' What the [[SoundEffectBleep (wacky bleep)]] is going on? What?
-->'''Caine:''' No, no, no, my dear, my dear, we can't have any of that foul language around here. [[TitleDrop The Amazing Digital Circus]] is a place to be enjoyed by all ages. You, my friend, stumbled into an incredible world of wonders where ''anything can happen!'' Except for swearing.
-->'''Pomni:''' [[SoundEffectBleep (buzzer chimes, squeaking, car horn honking, whooshing, splattering, boinging, drum thuds)]]... Oh, my god.

* Creator/BoothTarkington's ''{{Literature/Penrod}}'', published in 1914, begins with eleven-year-old Penrod working on a picaresque adventure novel. When the bandit hero gets the better of the police detectives who tried to ambush him, a flurry of colorful metaphors ensues:

-->'''Yakko:''' That's my cute little sister who said that. [[CatchPhrase Good night, everybody!]]

** The ''Meet the Demoman'' [[SupplementalMaterial/TeamFortress2 animated short]]. At one point the title character goes on a 3 second long swearing jag, all of which is bleeped out.

* In the ''Series/MysteryScienceTheater3000'' episode ''Film/AgentForHarm'', Crow tapes testimony as a character witness at trial of MikeNelsonDestroyerOfWorlds. HilarityEnsues:

A SubTrope of CensoredForComedy and ClusterFBomb. Often invokes NothingIsFunnier, leaving the listener to wonder what is being said. Compare LostInTransmission. For the visual version, see SymbolSwearing. A character for whom this is characteristic behavior may be a SirSwearsALot.

'''Kyle:''' You know what you (bleep) like?! You like to (bleep) (bleep), and (bleep), and (bleep), and (bleep), and (bleep), and (bleep)!\\

** Towards the end of the 201st episode, "201," [[AnAesop three speeches]] by Kyle, Jesus and Santa Claus are censored in their entirety. While it seems like a gag, the bleeps were actually placed there by Creator/ComedyCentral due to fear of repercussion from terrorist groups who had threatened the show's staff over depicting Mohammed in the previous episode. Unlike nearly every other episode of the show, it remains censored on the DVD release, and has not been released on streaming. [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/201_(South_Park)#Online_leak_of_uncensored_version The text, about the power of violence and fear, was leaked in 2014.]]

* Music/SiIvaGunner's [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V8EMtQdSd0o high-quality rip]] of "[[VideoGame/SilentHill Eternal Rest]]" is mashed up with Gangsta Rap's "Nigga Nigga Nigga", except every single instance of the N-word is bleeped out. [[BleepDammit Except for]] a few uncensored swear words at the beginning, that means pretty much ''the entire song'' is made up of censor bleeps.

[[folder:%$!@ing Webcomics!]]
* In ''Webcomic/BobAndGeorge'' the author will frequently pixelate curses, or hide them behind a black bar. Then you have Ran on [[http://www.bobandgeorge.com/archives/041201 this page.]] There's a RunningGag that every year on December 1st, a character drops an uncensored PrecisionFStrike. This year the author picked Ran, and due to Ran having recently suffered a fair amount of abuse, he decided to have Ran go on a whole rant. But Ran isn't his character, so he checked with Ran's creator, who said that he didn't like the idea of Ran swearing. So he censored the offending words... [[CensoredForComedy and then a whole lot more, for kicks]].
* In ''Webcomic/GeneCatlow'', swear-words are replaced by black bars. At one point, a human lets loose with a rant that's almost entirely blacked out, causing the main characters to comment on "That odd human fascination with excrements..."
* ''Webcomic/YuckHeads'' had [[http://yuckheads.thecomicseries.com/comics/4 this]] strip.
* In ''Webcomic/SkinHorse'', cyborg helicopter Nick has a filter that replaces curses with other random words (shown in a different, slightly bolder font). This culminates in:
-->'''Nick''': What the '''mosaic-tiled poorhouse floor''' do you think you're '''flipping gingerly, panther'''? Like I don't get enough '''opal circles''', some '''secret Mayan astronaut''' has to '''eat the magic fudge'''? '''Sahara'''!\\
'''Jonah''': What the hell? \\
'''Nick''': Easy for you to say, '''gorilla-watcher'''. Easy for you.
* ''Webcomic/GunnerkriggCourt'': Eglamore's opinion about Anthony [[http://www.gunnerkrigg.com/?p=1688 isn't what one would call "flattering"]].
* ''Webcomic/TheOrderOfTheStick'' has at one instance [[https://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots1257.html one character's speech balloons cover another's swearing]].

* In the Source Filmmaker video, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M9kmE82QYQg The Art of Spychecking]], this happens when Soldier confronts Sniper.

* A Website/BuzzFeed video titled "True Love Stories" features a Q&A of three women about their love stories. When asked the sweetest thing her love interest has ever said to her, one woman repeats what judging from the censoring is a graphic description of the sex he said he wanted to have with her.
* WebVideo/DailyGrace does this from time to time, most famously [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eAA1dJk3om4 when she tried In-N-Out Burger]]. Borders on DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything.
* ''WebVideo/DragonBallZAbridged'':
** {{Parodied|Trope}} in Episode 19, where Vegeta drops into a Cluster Bomb when he realizes that the [[QuirkyMinibossSquad Ginyu Force]] are [[RightBehindMe right behind him]]. The bleeps turn out to be provided by Jeice trying to adjust his Scouter, which has been acting up lately. Then, the {{Stinger}} shows the entire rant uncensored, revealing that it was actually a Cluster GoshDangItToHeck Bomb.
--->"Son of a gum-chewing funk monster! Why the fruit does all this funny stuff happen to me?! Forget my life! Always surrounded by miserable failing clods, like this whole world just likes to bend me over and find me in the Alps! Like I'm some sort of schlock receptacle! Well as far as I care, these miserable cows can have a fancy barbecue with a goddamn pig!"
** Cell gets one of these (and an [[AtomicFBomb Atomic Bleep Bomb]]) after Gohan hits him so hard he regurgitates Android 18.
* This video from comedian Elliot Chang: "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z7PDwmsqx9E Worst Way to Meet Your Female Boss]]."
* In [[WebVideo/JonTron JonTron's]] review of ''WesternAnimation/FoodFight'', this was his initial reaction to Cheasel T. Weasel:
-->'''Jon:''' '''''OH, F*beeeeeep*, CO-*beep* *beep*!'''''
* ''WebVideo/GeographyNow'': In the Flag/Fan Day episode for Turkmenistan, Barby is aware that [[SelfDeprecation the sub-series gets the least amount of views on the channel]], so he rapidly swears (albeit censored) because he thinks he can get away with it.

-->'''Stolas:''' When I'm lonely, I become ''hungry''. And when I become hungry, I want to ''choke on that red [bleep] of yours''. [bleep] your [bleep] and lick off all your [bleeeep] before TAKING OUT YOUR [bleep] AND [bleep] WITH MORE TEETH '''UNTIL YOU'RE SCREAMING [bleeeeeeeeeeep] LIKE A ''[[BleepDammit FUCKING]]'' BAB-!'''
-->''[[TheresNoKillLikeOverkill (Blitzo immediately hangs up and snaps his cellphone in half, crushes it with a wired telephone, throws the telephone out of the window, grabs the cellphone pieces and blends it until it's liquefied.)]]''
--> ''(He then hands the remains to his adopted daughter Loona.)''
--> '''Blitzo:''' Eat this.
--> ''([[EatTheEvidence Loona drinks the remains of the phone]])''
--> '''Blitzo:''' And you know that bridge over the freeway?
--> '''Loona:''' Yeah?
--> '''Blitzo:''' '''SHIT OFF IT.'''

-->'''Kiryu Coco''': Good morning, motherfuckers! Today's top news are: fucking sheep fucks up again in her own fucking stream by disconnecting over sixty times in one ass-fucking show. ({{beat}}) What? Youtube censors? ...fuck.
* ''WebVideo/HonestTrailers'': Since ''Film/TheWolfOfWallStreet'' has an average of 3.6 f-words per minute, its trailer has to bleep them out of nearly every clip. Then the Narrator joins in as well and punctuates every sentence with "[[SoundEffectBleep fucking]]".
* Possibly the longest bleep in an original fan cartoon, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HQFmaNlq2lk&hd=1 If Bo Burnham Was On MLP:FiM]], a true cluster f-bomb if there ever was one. There is an uncensored version, for which the gentle readers may search for themselves.

* Occurs on ''WebVideo/ImAMarvelAndImADC'', when Green Goblin sees the Joker hit Harley. At some point, they even give up on the individual bleeps; there's just one long, siren-like whine for a few minutes.

* One bit in ''WebVideo/NarutoTheAbridgedSeries'' has this from Sasuke:
-->'''Sasuke:''' Are you done? You sure? 'Cause I'm not going to get interrupted again by that stupid plot! Okay then. Haku, you're min—''[scene cut]'' SON OF A FUC[bleep] MIS[bleep] CUN[bleep bleeeep] BALONEY!
* Otaking does one of these in his otherwise quite professional Anime Fansub Documentary on Youtube.
-->'''Translation Note:''' ''Terran'' is the word Vampires use to refer to humans.
-->'''Otaking:''' Yeah, I think we can work that out ourselves, you (BLEEP) (BLEEP) (BLEEP) (BLEEP) (BLEEP)!

* The ''WebVideo/PotterPuppetPals'' short "Wizard Swears" has "the Elder Swear", which takes this to the lengths of an OverlyLongGag:
-->'''Dumbledore:''' Your mother is a *beep**beep**beep*ing*beep* lorem ipsum *beep**beep**beep* admium venium *beep**beep**beep**beep* tragula *beep**beep**beep**beep**beep**beep* hippopotamus *beep**beep**beep**beep**beep* Republican *beep**beep* Daniel Radcliffe *beep**beep**beep**beep* with a bucket of *beep**beep**beep**beep* in a castle far away where no one can hear you *beep**beep**beep**beep**beep**beep**beep* soup *beep**beep**beep* with a bucket of *beep**beep* Mickey Mouse *beep**beep* and a stick of dynamite *beeeeeep* magical *beep**beep**beep* alakazam!
* Some of the most frustrating\scary games in ''Webvideo/{{React}} Gaming'' will have the Reactors devolve into this.
* ''WebVideo/ScottTheWoz'':
** The only way Scott can properly introduce ''[[VideoGame/ChibiRobo Chibi Robo: Zip Lash]]'' is with one of these.
--->'''Scott:''' ''Chibi Robo: Zip Lash'' is a stupid f**king f**k sh*t f**k f**k sh*t.
** A quick one happens when Scott compares ''VideoGame/MarioKart7'''s method of unlocking characters with its predecessor, ''VideoGame/MarioKartWii''.
--->'''Scott:''' You kinda want there to be a balance between "f**k this f**king sh*t f**k f**k" and "this is a little too easy."
** One from the cops in "A Very Madden 08 Christmas", as they bust down the door to the vegans' gathering in an arrest attempt caused by Scott framing the latter.
* ''WebVideo/UltraFastPony:'' From the episode "Purple Party Pooper":
-->'''Spike:''' Oh, that's right, I forgot to tell you. Your friends said they couldn't make it today.\\
'''Twilight:''' Motherfu-- [bleeeeeeeep] one little [bleeeeeeeeeeep] I'm gonna [bleeeeeep] right where Celestia doesn't shine!
* The WebVideo/{{Wiiviewer}}'s review of ''VideoGame/ArcRiseFantasia'' includes one discussing EasyLevelsHardBosses:
-->Because while the regular enemies are a breeze to kill, the bosses will bend you over and *beep* with mayonnaise and just shove their hand up *beep* fingers out and *beep* *beep* *beep*! And trust me when I say, you'll never look at a [[NoodleImplements pencil]] the same way again.
* On Website/YouTube, a popular means of [[ManipulativeEditing editing works to sound vulgar]] is to [[CensoredForComedy bleep out random words]] to make it sound like the characters are swearing, which often gives off a ClusterFBomb feel without having to go to the extra effort of trying to find things that sound directly like swearing. (And often times it ends up being funnier anyway.)
* ''WebVideo/YuGiOhTheAbridgedSeries'':
** When the Pharaoh finds out Yugi tricked him into going on a date with Tea:
--->'''Yami:''' Yugi you little *beep*! You son of a *beep*ing *beep* *beep* *beep*! I'm going to tear off your *beep* and shove them right up your *beep* *beep* *beep* *beep* and then *beep* *beep*ing *beep* on your *beep* with *beep* *beep* in the *beep* and *beep* *beep* *beep* your *beep* *beep* *beep* so then you'll have to *beep* sideways! *Beep*!
** And then averted later in the same episode: "Fucking birds!"
** Tristan: "Holy *bleep* on a *bleep* sandwich! With *bleep* on top! And a side order of *bleep*!" When we hear the original line uncensored in episode 48, [[spoiler:it turns out he's actually just saying "bleep".]]

** The episode "Sailor Mouth" is all about this. [=SpongeBob=] and Patrick learn some "sentence enhancers", and put them into every sentence they can think of ([[SoundEffectBleep but they're all censored with dolphin sounds, foghorns, and other sea-related sounds]]). Then Mr. Krabs does this with all "thirteen" dirty words he'd mentioned (anyone not a sailor would only know "seven", according to him). His mother appeared to have done this as well, but the beeps turn out to be "Old Man Jenkins in his jalopy". The full curse bundle from Mr. Krabs goes thusly:

* ''WesternAnimation/PussInBootsTheLastWish'': When Baby Bear and Goldilocks get into a round of VolleyingInsults, [[KindheartedSimpleton Perrito]] decides to join in the "fun" and lets out [[InnocentSwearing a string of heavily-censored insults]]. Papa Bear is stunned at first, but [[ActuallyPrettyFunny also impressed]].
-->'''Papa Bear:''' I like the gob on this one.

** Towards the end of "201," Kyle's entire speech[[note]][[WordOfGod which is about intimidation and fear and makes no mention of Muhammad]][[/note]] has been censored, before it's realized that Creator/ComedyCentral is the one applying the censors. On the official uncensored DVD release, the bleeps still remain.

-->-- '''The Demoman''', ''Videogame/TeamFortress2''

* In Fanfic/TalesOfAResetMind, Fear throws one so big it had to be ''edited out by the author''
* InvokedTrope in an {{Omake}} from ''FanFic/MyHeroPlaythrough''. The fic's premise is Izuku gaining access to The Gamer from the eponymous comic, and according to the Omake, this version has a profanity filter. Which Izuku activates during a fight with Bakugo. Whom, predictably, does not take it well in any way, shape or form.
* Anne Maria's letter in ''FanFic/TotalDramaLegacy''.

* ''Series/TheMiddleman'' is loaded with allusions and tropes from UsefulNotes/TheSilverAgeOfComicBooks, where cursing is rendered as SymbolSwearing. Thus, the tv series has a ''lot'' of fun with the SoundEffectBleep + CensorBox over the mouth. Generally mild swears ([[{{Double Entendre}} and stealthy euphemisms]]) get a pass, and the bleep is used on a RuleOfFunny basis.

* ''Series/{{MADtv}}'':

** The final cluster bleep-bomb happens at the end when various kids at DW's preschool [[SirSwearsALot use the episode's unknown swear word gratuitously]]. [[note]]WordOfGod states that the voice actors used the word "Chicken", but [[Website/YouTube YouTuber]] Scott Cramer [[https://youtu.be/3lhU2qQVctE believes the characters used the slur for gay people]].[[/note]]

* One of Cartoon Network's old bumpers had [[Westernanimation/ScoobyDoo Fred Jones]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rlo3x0NMs5g delivering one of these]] when describing his response to questions about his ascot, much to the rest of the gang's shock.

* The second ''[[Literature/TheHungerGames Hunger Game]]'' film has Johanna utter a string of swear words, all of which are bleeped out. However, as this happens during her televised interview the night before the third Quarter Quell, it's implied that the swearing is also being censored InUniverse.

* Can be invoked in ''VideoGame/BrütalLegend'' at the beginning of the game.

* The radio edit of Eamon's song "I Don't Want You Back" edits out all of the swears, which is like half the song.
* "I Bet They Won't Play This Song On The Radio," from ''Creator/MontyPython's Contractual Obligation'' album.

* ''WesternAnimation/PussInBootsTheLastWish'': When Baby Bear and Goldilocks get into a round of VolleyingInsults, [[KindheartedSimpleton Perrito]] decides to join in the "fun" and lets out a string of heavily-censored insults. Papa Bear is stunned at first, but also impressed.

-->'''Jake:'''Sir, your insults are kind of known to be little too think-y, maybe you should just let...

* Series/{{Mythbusters}} This series has encountered this trope quite often.
