We were watching some dumb TV show or other last night and had to laugh at the show's use of "cut off" profanity - that's where a character will start to say something that's not allowed on broadcast TV, but cut it off without finishing. They must've used this old trick half a dozen times during the show. I always find it amusing.

How about you? Did you ever notice this before? Which one of these is your favorite - or do you have another?

Seen it once or twice don't ever really pay much attention to it because most of them really aren't funny to me

I don't cut off my profanities, it would be rude to leave my sentence incomplete ... but I guess sometimes when I'm so angry or shocked I say "That fucking-!"

shut the front door for the win!

I know this type of "swearing" is juvenile but it always makes me a laugh.

I love the way they censor "ass****" because they censor the "hole" part, which isn't the profane part, but not the "ass" part, which is. Hole isn't a bad word, but ass is, unless the word is asshole, in which case they switch? Never made sense to me, and it always makes me laugh.

"Oh, for--!" is my favorite, both personally and on TV. If I'm in comfortable company it'll be "Oh, for fuck's sake." I can save myself by changing it to "Oh, for crying out loud," or "Oh, for Pete's sake" in more polite company. If it's on TV it's pretty funny.

Actually, I find it funnier when they bleep out words that aren't even that bad and then a minute later they allow a worse one through. xD

I find the cut offs funny. Listen for the fill ins! So many times they change the words and the voice doesn't belong to the actor on screen!!

Just click the link I created in my previous post for a recent example. You'll find lots more on YouTube, Vimeo, etc.
