Logo design credit goes to: tubbadu
In France, advertising alcohool brands on TV is heavily restricted. It wasn't a problem in the Simpsons since Duff was not a real brand of beer.
When Duff became a real brand, French TV had to blur every Duff logo and beep out every "Duff" pronounced on screen. Some episodes became unwatchable, Duffman became beepman, every beer became blurry...
The Welsh rugby team were at one point sponsored by a Cardiff brewery called “Brains” and when they played over in Paris the sponsors name was rendered as “Brawn”.
Also the cigarette brand “Benson and Hedges” were branded “Buzzing Hornets” when their F1 team were racing in countries that had already banned tobacco sponsorship.
Duffman became beepman, every beer became blurry…
Considering Duffman's signature hip movements and the funky Ohhh yeaaah~ music that always plays whenever he arrives, someone who doesn't know Duff is supposed to be a beer might get a very wrong idea about his job.
Clearly needs more state regulations. People can't be trusted to know what they want to watch and see with their eyes
The Invincible TV series is quite gory. Blood gets censored to be white in China which makes for some interesting scenes of hands dripping with white stuff. Or this:
TV censored version of Kill Bill hands down.
His name is buck, and he's here to party.
It's a movie, but when Sigourney Weaver's character says "Well, fuck that." and it's edited to say "Well, screw that." without changing how her mouth moves at all is about the funniest one I can think of.
(Galaxy Quest is the movie)
I'm old, and I saw the Breakfast Club back in the 80's on like, channel 11. For years I couldn't figure out why Principal Vernon and Carl the Janitor went from hating each other to being friends.
Years later I saw it unedited and realized they cut out the whole scene with the two of them bonding and smoking weed. So much made sense at that point.
There is a famous US tv edit of Snakes On A Plane where Samuel L Jackson shouts at a pivitol moment, "I've had it with these monkey eating snakes on this Monday to Friday plane!"
Monkey fighting snakes, if my memory serves correctly.
The best version of that movie is the censored version lol
The version of From Dusk Till Dawn that aired on German TV with age 16+ rating was half an hour shorter and was cut so badly, it hardly even made sense anymore.
It's basically just a couple of dude(tte)s going to a gas station, then walking into a bar and starting to shoot at nothing for no reason.
Die Hard 2.
Original line: "Yippee ki-yay, mother fucker."
Censorship line: "Yippee ki-yay, Mr. Falcon."
There is no one named Mr. Falcon in the movie.
When Sailor Moon was airing on American TV back in the late 90's, they completely censored out every aspect of romantic relationship between Sailor Neptune and Sailor Uranus. Turned them into cousins.
It was a shock to me when I bought the subtitled version and they were suddenly lesbians.
South Park Season 1 Episode 7 (the episode where Cartman wears a Adolf Hitler costume for Halloween) was partially censored in Germany. Cartmans "Sieg Heil" was changed to "Wie Geil" (means "how cool"). I think the censoring there was actually funnier than the original.
ISAIP episodes, those episodes pre-2010, with blackface jokes, basically it was showing how ridiculous blackface is to racists, the "execs decided it would be obliterated from most media besides clips on youtube. they are doing it "im a white person offended for black people "type of virtue signalling, not even poc is offended by this.
you know BSG wanted to say fuck instead frack.
also castlevania nocture, when they turned the captain lady intoa frozen shade, you can clearly see they dint want the frozens shades boobs to show in anyway, so its constantly always covered up.
"frack me harder Mr. Peanutbutter!"
The VH1 edit of showgirls. Movie was cut shorter... Meaning what actual plot there was was even more chopped up .
And when they couldn't edit out the nudity, they "Ms painted" bikini tops on the actresses.
It's absolutely hilarious to see https://www.reddit.com/r/Corridor/comments/1bs47qn/showgirls_movie_edited_for_tv_vh1_no_joke/
