** In ''Avengers'' #125 (1972), While the Avengers are fighting an alien invasion from Thanos, there's a panel showing a busted alien ship falling toward the street. Some civilians are fleeing the scene and in the background, a theater marquee is visible. A civilian partially obscures the marquee with his arm as he runs away, but it's apparent the movie is ''[[ExplicitContent Deep Throat]]''; based on the timing, this is much more likely to be a refernece to the porn movie and not to the informant on the Watergate scandal.

* A ''ComicBook/LegionOfSuperheroes'' story from a 1973 issue of ''Superboy'' has Dream Girl, who is unmarried, sleeping in a bed large enough for two people, and Dave Cockrum draws a [[https://www.cbr.com/first-unmarried-superhero-couple-shown-sharing-bed/ human-shaped bulge under the blanket next to here and the top of a blond head of hair peeking out from under the blanket]].

* The title of the ''Westernanimation/{{DuckTales | 2017}}'' episode "The Beagle Birthday Massacre, a reference to the Valentine's Day Massacre, was eventually caught on Disney Channel's radar, who changed the title to "The Beagle Birthday Breakout". Disney+ still retains the original title, though.

* The ''Westernanimation/{{SpongeBob SquarePants}}'' episode "[=SpongeBob in RandomLand=]" contains a reference to the infamous Red Mist creepypasta, with Squidward opening a door only to be {{jump scare}}d by an image of a less bloody version of the iconic Red Mist Squidward thumbnail. Oh, and instead of blood, the dark glow around his eyes is also dripping from his eyes, implying that he's bleeding ink instead. Unfortunately, it was soon replaced with an image of a baby Squidward crapping his diaper due to, in the words of Vinvent Waller, "[[https://twitter.com/VincentWaller72/status/1194285563160887297 an S&P issue]]".

* Episode 35 of ''Literature/MayaTheBee'' had to be pulled from Creator/{{Netflix}} due to [[https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/netflix-childrens-show-producer-says-penis-drawing-was-very-bad-joke-one-artist-1042147 a rogue animator sneaking in a carving of a penis inside a hollow stump.]]

* Music/LadyGaga's debut album The Fame has large amounts of innuendo. While that doesn't seem to mandate a sticker nowadays, there's a very audible PrecisionFStrike in the chorus of Poker Face, in a sexual context, which was missed because it is not in the official lyrics. Most of the radio stations didn't notice it either until KISS.FM called her on it.

* In ''Webcomic/SomethingPositive'', a frustrated Donna tells Rory that [[https://somethingpositive.net/comic/school-clothes/ "if I had just sucked, you wouldn't be here"]] - being five, he doesn't get the joke.

* Music/{{Peter Paul and Mary}} have this to say in "I Dig Rock n' Roll Music"

* The writers of the (non-existent) cartoon that ''Tabletopgame/{{Punk Rock Saves the World}}'' is "[[{{Show Within a Show}} based on]]" knew that censors would try to water down the subversive elements of the punk genre, so "they worked very hard to disguise the message in such a way that the message would go over the network censors' collective heads."

* In ''Webvideo/{{Sword Art Online Abridged}}'', to act out [[IHaveYouNowMyPretty a particular scenario]], the players have to resort to flicking mayonnaise as a substitute for... other fluids, since this is supposedly a kid's game.
* The Webvideo/{{Angry Video Game Nerd}} gives us a funny example::

* Ted in ''Webvideo/{{Nightmare Time}}'' thinks he's doing this when he refers to his mustache as a "bush-brush", but clearly isn't.

* Music/TheRamones were forced to pull "Carbona Not Glue" off their 1977 album ''Music/LeaveHome'' due to a potential lawsuit - the makers of the cleaning solvent Carbona probably would not be thrilled with it being endorsed as an inhalant. The track would eventually be restored to reissues of the album, but well before then the band managed to slip in an unlisted live version on 1991's ''Loco Live''.

* Steve Gerber included a sentient space turnip named Phelch in ''ComicBook/HowardTheDuck'' 1:2; felching is the practice of [[spoiler:using a straw to retrieve one's own sperm from a partner's orifice]]. As such, Phelch's name violates both the profanity clause and the ban on "sex perversion or inference to same".

* [[http://www.angelfire.com/pop/bay55/SwampThing/SwampBook022.html According to inker John Totleben]] regarding ''ComicBook/SwampThing'' 2:22, Woodrue's dilated pupils, in the close-up panel after he tastes the Swamp Thing's tuber, are a deliberate if covert indication of [[HigherUnderstandingThroughDrugs drug use]], still forbidden under the then-current version of the UsefulNotes/ComicsCode unless depicted as a "[[DrugsAreBad vicious habit]]." (Totleben states further that Woodrue's subsequent use of an EEG device was a smokescreen for the ''real'' method by which he tapped into the Green.) When DC began releasing the title without the Code's seal of approval, it freed the creative team to make the tubers' psychedelic properties more explicit and give them a recurring role in the series.
* In ''ComicBook/SwampThing'' 2:37, when John declines Emma's offer to spend more time in bed with her, she asks whether she's ever told him what her father says about Englishmen; he responds "Yes, you did; "no, we're not; and if I ever meet your dad I'm going to chin him." The implied word after "not" is, of course, "gay," which in 1985 was the sort of "inference" to "sex perversion" which the Code forbade.

** In Avengers 1:125 (1972), While the Avengers are fighting an alien invasion from Thanos, there's a panel showing a busted alien ship falling toward the street. Some civilians are fleeing the scene and in the background, a theater marquee is visible. A civilian partially obscures the marquee with his arm as he runs away, but it's apparent the movie is ''[[ExplicitContent Deep Throat]]''; based on the timing, this is much more likely to be a refernece to the porn movie and not to the informant on the Watergate scandal.
* ''Amazing Comicbook/{{Spider-Man}}'' [[https://marvel.fandom.com/wiki/Amazing_Spider-Man_Vol_1_299 1:299]] is today known almost entirely for being the debut of Venom, but it also managed to slide by the Comics Code's restriction on "salacious illustrations". Peter is down because of being unable to apprehend Chase, so [[http://i1210.photobucket.com/albums/cc415/joshparylak/MJpics.png MJ raises his spirits have having him take some nudie photos of her]].

* Creator/TexAvery's ''WesternAnimation/{{The Shooting of Dan McGoo}}'' has a town named Coldernell, which sounds almost exactly like "colder than Hell"; the Hays Code specifically forbade the word ''Hell''.

* Music/{{Aerosmith}} {{hang a lampshade}} on it it with the title track of the album "Just Push Play", where the chorus says, "Just push play, *beep*ing A! Just push play, they're gonna beep it anyway." Except for the last chorus, when they actually change it to "Fucking A! Just push play, they're gonna *beep* it anyway."

* France Gall [[https://web.archive.org/web/20040206023836/http://www.rfimusique.com/siteEn/biographie/biographie_6153.asp apparently]] she had no idea that the Music/{{Serge Gainsbourg}}-penned "Les Sucettes" was one big {{double entendre}} about oral sex.

* At the very beginning of ''Film/BringingUpBaby'', David says he's sure that the bone he's holding goes in the Brontosaurus's tail. His fiance gives a smile and says "we tried it in the tail last night. [[BiggusDickus It didn't fit]]."

* Try saying the title of Music/{{Britney Spears}}' "If U Seek Amy" fast. Not too bad? How about with context: "Love me, hate me, say what you want about me but all of the boys and [[EvenTheGirlsWantHer all of the girls]] are begging to '''[[DoubleEntendre if you seek Amy]]'''." The album it was on escaped the Parental Advisory label, and nobody noticed the pun until after it was released, [[https://web.archive.org/web/20181119025636/https://www.nydailynews.com/entertainment/music-arts/z100-britney-spears-clean-article-1.424732 forcing Britney to record a cleaned-up version for radio broadcast]].
* Music/{{Bruno Mars}}' ''24K Magic'' also lacks a parental advisory warning, despite the TitleTrack containing a few utterances of "Shit"

[[folder:Department of Motor Vehicles (USA)]]
* The Florida Department of Motor Vehicles will reject applications for personalized license plates "[[https://www.flhsmv.gov/pdf/forms/83043.pdf with obscene or objectionable words ]]". [[https://jalopnik.com/50-vanity-plates-that-slipped-by-the-dmv-5113782 One individual]] managed to get A55 RGY; this is already iffy, but because the license plate put an orange between the two parts, it ended up looking like ASS ORGY.

* Lampshades in the ''WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes'' short '"A Tale of Two Kitties." Babbitt tells Catstello "Give me the bird!" as they are both trying to catch one to eat. Catstello [[BreakingTheFourthWall looks to us]] and says "If the Hays Office would only let me I'd give him the bird all right!"

** Even better from "Simon Seville, Superstar", Simon is asked if he considers himself a sex symbol (Bonus, Alvin does a more-or-less simultaneous and very loud gasp with the word "sex", just to confirm this trope). Simon demurs cutely and says "No... Only if glasses are sexy". When told that they ''are'' SexySpectacles (or "very attractive", at least), he pulls out ones that are older and even more noticeable.

* The ''VideoGame/ShinMegamiTensei'' subseries ''VideoGame/DevilChildren'' had two entries localized by Atlus as the ''[=DemiKids=]'' series. While they are LighterAndSofter than the main series, as the E rating would have you believe, they still contain [[HornyDevils the Incubus and Succubus]] - without as much as a “Suggestive Themes” descriptor - despite both demons being highlighted in ratings information for SMT titles with higher ratings.
