In the Teen Titans Go! episode "Uncle Jokes", Robin says "Ground cow" in Asian airings instead of "Ground beef" during the cow with no legs joke, thus making it unfunny.
I've not been privy to much censorship in my life (that I noticed) but I distinctly remember in Giants: Citizen Kabuto, there was a quest to slay some sheep and bring back their meat for food and the meat was green. As a 10 year old, I thought it was part of the lore. Since you were on another planet, it made sense to me... maybe these are alien sheep!
I only realized it years later when I had forgotten the game's title and asked about it, describing the green sheep meat, on a forum. I was told it was censorship and which game it was. Replayed it in its pure form and the meat was red.
WTF, that's not the area I'd expect to "clutch pearls" over wine. (It's labeled in Russian, or another language with the same word for milk)
The Pokito (anime tv programming in Germany) had an awefull verstion of Naruro. Were they would sensor out the weapons.
The censorship on the movie The Big Sleep, based on a book about a pornography ring run by organized crime, was released at a time when they censored everything to the point of making the movie into a kind of nonsense with Bogart talking fast and Bacall singing a song about DV.
That reminds me of when IDGAF topped the charts, but since the word "fuck" is censored the question becomes why even bother airing it.
I remember watching the TV-edited version of "The Faculty" and there was a particular scene that stuck with me where the main guy runs outside in frustration and screams "PHOOEY!" instead of "FUUUCK!"
It's been a long time since I've seen the movie, much less the censored version of it, so that memory feels like a fever dream to me.
Simpsons itself has had multiple scenes cut out of episodes that are now really hard to find, in the worst cases it can be the entire end of an episode. The one that really sticks out is a scene where a celebrity ges jumped by cletus and a bunch of other rednecks and brutally shot to death with a lot of gore, the episode later got censored to end when cletus points a shotgun at him and eventually cut out the scene entierly making the episode rather abrupt.
Don't remember the movie or show but on aired in Korea I saw they would blur out parts such as cigarettes as well as arm pits (male actor) and a chef's knife (prop was being held with the actors intention to defend herself).
In Germany for some inane reason the only way to get an uncensored Planet Terror with the helicopter chopping up zombies (and several other scenes, like Tarantino's balls rotting off) is by renting it. Good luck finding a video rental place nowadays.
You don't get it by buying the "uncensored" version. I was lucky that my first time watching the movie was as a rental.
