Added DiffLines:

'''Basic Trope''': Unnecessary censorship makes something sound even dirtier than it should.
* '''Straight''': Alice says "Look at the big pile of clothes!", but the word "clothes" is censored out, making it sound as though she said something worse.
* '''Exaggerated''': Alice says a long sentence that is censored by cars driving past, but due to the context it sounds like she released a ClusterFBomb.
* '''Downplayed''': Alice says "Son of a gun", but the word "gun" is censored, making it sound like she said something stronger.
* '''Justified''': Bob thought she was going to swear, and due to in-universe censorship, that can't happen.
* '''Inverted''': ???
* '''Subverted''': ???
* '''Double Subverted''': ???
* '''Parodied''': Alice and Bob watch a ShowWithinAShow that is essentially the FictionalCounterpart of "Wheel of Fortune". A puzzle has the phrase "_UCK _E _N THE A__ TON_GHT", which is later revealed as "LUCK BE IN THE AIR TONIGHT", only for Alice and Bob to remark that they guessed horribly wrong.
* '''Zig-Zagged''': ???
* '''Averted''': ???
* '''Enforced''':
** RuleOfFunny
