Line 115:
* When the U.K. showed the ''[[Recess]]'' episode "Parents Night", they edited the line where Spinelli's dad ([[It Makes Sense in Context|her real dad, not the biker she hired to be her dad]]) is showing the gang Spinelli's baby pictures and says, "Look at her on that rug with her fanny in the air" <ref>as "fanny" in British English does '''''not''''' mean someone's butt like it does in American slang</ref>. The edited version shortens the line to "Look at her on that rug" and cuts to Spinelli moaning, "Why me?!"
** In the episode "I Will Kick No More Forever", there's a scene where Ashley Q. is playing kickball and kicks the ball all the way to communist China. In a few overseas airings, the scene is edited to make it look like she kicked the ball into a Dumpster on the other side of the school.
* The Rankin/Bass animated version of ''[[The Hobbit]]'' appears to have been
* In the animated version of the ''[[Discworld]]'' novel ''Wyrd Sisters'', Nanny Ogg's favourite song was altered from "The Hedgehog Can Never Be Buggered At All" to "The Hedgehog Can Never Be ''Bothered'' At All". This was a decision made by the actress voicing Nanny "because [[What Do You Mean It's Not for Kids?|I knew there would be children watching]]". This would have been [[They Just Didn't Care|out of character for Nanny Ogg]], since she is portrayed in the books as someone constantly making sexual innuendos.
** Granny Weatherwax had earlier referred to it, with distaste, as "The Hedgehog Can Never Be Wossnamed At All", but that was perfectly in character.
** But the play on words is kept perfectly. Both "buggered" and "bothered" can refer to either being the target of intercourse or being annoyed. Similar to how the root of "molestar" became "annoy" in Spanish and "sexually assault" in English, but with a single language. It's just that one is significantly more offensive than the other, and the less offensive one is a less blatant [[Double Entendre]]. It perfectly fits Nanny's character either way.
* ''[[Adventure Time]]'' has ''a lot'' cut out of the episodes in Australia (as do ''[[The Looney Tunes Show]]'', ''[[The Amazing World of Gumball]]'', and ''[[Regular Show]]'' <ref>which, given that show's content, would have been better off being banned rather than hacked to pieces for content</ref>). A list can be seen [http://adventuretime.wikia.com/wiki/Censorship_of_Adventure_Time_in_Australia here.]
* An [[In-Universe]] example happens in ''[[The Amazing World of Gumball]]''. Hector's mom
