Basic Trope: Using something silly to censor a naked person's naughty bits.
- Straight: Alice is naked, and she has a happy face censoring her lady bits and nipples.
- Exaggerated: The whole cast is naked, and their bits are censored with something from their personalities (Alice has a casserole dish, Bob has a whoopee cushion, Charlie has a dictionary, ect.)
- Downplayed: Alice's bits are censored with a Censor Box, but the censor box has writing on it saying, "Don't look there, you pervert!".
- Justified:
- Alice actually put the happy faces there.
- Alice is in some kind of virtual reality simulation where naked people's shame is always covered, and the creator of the simulation had a sense of humour.
- Inverted: Alice is naked and positioned in a way so that her private parts cover something funny.
- Subverted:
- The happy faces are replaced with a different censor.
- The happy faces go away, and Alice is just shown naked.
- Double Subverted:
- The other censor is also comical.
- It turns out the "naked Alice" is actually another gag censor graphic, that just has the counterproductive appearance of lady bits, so she is technically still censored.
- Parodied:
- Alice wears a censor box that says, "Insert something funny here."
- Ordinary gags are censored for being gags. See also: Censored for Comedy.
- Zigzagged: Alice, Bob, Charlie, and Diane strip. Alice has happy faces, Bob remains uncensored, Charlie has a dictionary, and Diane just has censor boxes.
- Averted:
- Alice does not go naked.
- Alice's parts are covered with a censor box.
- Nudity is not censored at all.
- Enforced: "We want to make it clear that we are playing this nudity for laughs, not fanservice!"
- Lamphsaded: "Where did these come from? Now I look even more ridiculous, but at least my bits are covered."
- Invoked: Alice finds the silliest thing possible to cover her shame when she loses her clothes.
- Exploited:
- Defied:
- Alice removes the happy faces and uses a towel instead.
- Alice refuses to strip lest she find something silly covering the parts.
- Discussed:
- Conversed: "That's a hilarious censor! Much better than those ugly censor boxes!"
- Implied:
- Deconstructed:
- Reconstructed:
- Played for Laughs: Alice's privates are censored with a cat face.
- Played for Drama:
- Played for Horror: Alice is a Serial Killer, and her privates are censored with a bloody knife.
