Writers who have to deal with censors on a daily basis love nothing more than to make fun of those corporate bastards who ruin their fun, usually by slipping in something that they hope the censors wouldn't notice. Ironically, when this trope appears by itself, it also means that discussing the subject must be allowed, but showing it is not. Compare Too Hot for TV. Examples of Think of the Censors include:

  • Writers who have to deal with censors on a daily basis love nothing more than to make fun of those corporate bastards who ruin their fun, usually by slipping in something that they hope the censors wouldn't notice. This trope, on the other hand, is the inverse of that, where the writers allude to something that would upset the censors, but then let the characters break the fourth wall by acknowledging the censors themselves, and how the censors wouldn't like what the characters are about to do. Usually this involves pleading to the work's intended age group, its timeslot or sometimes even the parent company. Usually shows up in cartoons, sometimes as a form of Parental Bonus. The difference between this trope and Getting Crap Past the Radar in general is in implying that they could do something to upset the censors, but won't. In older cartoons this was usually done as a reference to the Hays Code, but in other media it can also reference the Comics Code and the Electronic Software Ratings Board. Occasionally this can be done without breaking the fourth wall, when the characters are in the company of someone who shouldn't be exposed to naughty language.
