Strangely enough, the bleep effect often makes the joke funnier than if the swear word had actually been used (thus forming the premise of CensoredForComedy comedy). This is particularly true when it's used to cover up a ClusterFBomb. This is likely because profanity is often a mundane occurrence in real-life conversation, whereas loud, incongruous bleeps are not. Unfortunately, it can have [[{{Narm}} the same effect on scenes that are supposed to be serious]].

* In ''Literature/HarryPotterAndThePrisonerOfAzkaban'', Lee Jordan calls a player on the opposing team a "filthy, cheating bastard", but in print, only the "b" part is heard, as Professor [=McGonagall's=] own shouting at the player drowns it out. For once she didn't pay attention to Jordan's language (or favoritism, or any other [[AccidentalInnuendo junk Jordan pulls regularly]] while commentating).
