Funny censorship? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Have you seen any funny or really badly dubbed censorship in tv or movies? I just saw Dumb and Dumber and I'm remembering when they broadcast this on a basic cable channel they changed the line from "yeah, right on my ass... after you kiss it" to "yeah, right on my sandwhich... after you kiss it". The guy still turns around and points at his ass so it was weird having him call his ass his sandwhich.

Some of those dubs are really funny! When they dub a curse word you can still read their lips.

In the censored version of the first Police Academy movie, Hightower attacked Harris for calling Hooks a "nincompoop." In the uncensored version Harris called Hooks a different N word.

Actually, Harris called Hooks a "Dumb Fat Jigg*boo".

The best one I remember is Stand By Me.

In the pie eating contest scene there's a point where the crowd chants, "Lard Ass! Lard Ass! Lard Ass! Lard Ass! " when Lard Ass is running away with the contest. On broadcast TV it comes out, "LardLardLardLardLardLard".

Yippee kay yay Mr. Falcon

from the movie, Die Hard 2

this phrase replaced the more vulgar phrase "yippee kay yay mother****er" in the censored version of the film intended for television airplay.

The statement was made by Bruce Willis as he threw his lit Zippo lighter into the stream of fuel in order to bring down the escaping plane full of evildoers.

My bad. I remembered that it was a racial slur at least. I actually saw the censored version first, so I didn't understand why Hightower got so offended by "nincompoop" until later on when I saw the uncensored version.
