I do mean stuff like removed scenes from international airings, replacing objects like cigarettes or vine with any other objects.
TV censored version of Kill Bill hands down.
His name is buck, and he’s here to party.
His name is bart-y and he’s here to part-y

It was legendarily bad. I remember watching it on TV laughing the entire time.
Pretty sure that was the point. It was basically Pulp Fiction 2.0, Martial Arts Edition.
7-Zark-7
Disney consored Gravity Falls a lot before the episodes even aired. Alex Hirsch (the creator) had constant trouble for even some minor things.
The funniest bit was, when they had a flyer that literally said “not S&P approved”, because S&P (standards and practices) wouldn’t approve the flyer saying “bottles will be spun”.
Reboot did similar things in the 90s with direct mentions of “BS&P” (broadcast standards and practices) in multiple episodes.

That show was pretty tame if I remember correctly, just supernatural stuff, animated version of x files.
Mostly yes, except when Bill Cipher was around. He skinned a screaming head once or stole the teeth of a deer.
and rearranged every orifice on the rich guys face
they had a flyer that literally said “not S&P approved”
Also a recurring problem in ReBoot. The original network wouldn’t let them do a ton of stuff for often vague reasons or ones that implied something was deeply wrong with the person monitoring the show. There’s an article about all the absurdity.
That’s quite a list. A bonkers read!
You see what happens when you find a stranger in the Alps!
I remember when Young Guns aired on a cable channel in the 90s there’s a scene at the climax when Billy the Kid actually says “Murphy, you son of a bitch…” and shoots the baddie in the head.
So this cable channel edited it for him to say “Murphy, you sorry old buzzard…”. But the headshot was still intact because this is America.
John McClain kills every member of a heist crew then throws the boss off a skyscraper to his doom and the only concession made for tv is “Yippee ki yay Mr Falcon.” America.
The TV edit of Smokey and the Bandit is notoriously bad. You scum bum! https://youtu.be/ypLsFLB5WhM skip to 7:00 to get to the good stuff

Eat your hamburgers, Apollo.
“Yippie kay yay, MR FALCON.” from Die Hard is pretty infamous.
There’s are two (that I’m aware of) versions of Deadpool that are shown on US TV. One is pretty normal, cut up mostly for time but with all the curseing and violence you’d expect, the other though has hilarious dubs over a good bit of the swearing (which is in theory easier when the main character is in a full face mask I guess?). The one that sticks out in memory is Deadpool’s line “Suck a cock” is dubbed as “ha ha ha”.
I’m not sure if this is what you’re referring to, but Once Upon a Deadpool is Deadpool 1 but he’s telling it as a bedtime story, so it’s a bit cut up and removes all the swearing.
I haven’t watched it all the way through, but it is still funny at the start at least
No, it’s just normal DP but edited for content in addition to time.
Removing the hard R rating from the character deadpool makes you realize what an irritating and childish character he is. I remember seeing him pop up in a G rated spider man show and it’s cringier than a deadpool cosplayer
Isn’t the point of Deadpool that he’s childish and irritating tbh? That’s like his whole gag
Dragon Ball has a scene in one of the earlier episodes where Goku gets desperate and confused when he finds out Bulma doesn’t have balls. In Brazil, the panty removing scene was cut, but him screaming and waking up Bulma was kept, with the chatter being fully nonsensical “I was hungry and looking for food!”
I also remember seeing that a country, I think Thailand?, censors even male pectorals, so a lot of DBZ fights had big blurs over the characters.
This and the Bulma flashing Roshi scene is partially censored in almost every recut afaik. even on some DVD sets.
I like DB/DBZ and some anime, but holy shit is anime fucking cringe. Even modern anime. It always throws off the mood. Like you’ll have some serious anime with real serious themes, and all of a sudden the main character will like grab some girl’s boobs and make a goofy sound (or some other variation of cringe fan service) and you’re just like “wut?”
Plenty of anime exist without perverse humor.
Attack on Titan, Death Note, Jujutsu Kaisen and Psychopass to name a few.
I never said every anime has it. But the vast majority do.
Friend, you gotta not care about downvotes. If you bring attention to it, you’ll get folks downvoting you just for that. And if you comment a second time, like you did here, you’re going to get downvoted all to hell in the second one. Since it’s obvious that you care, and folks on the internet love to irritate each other over nothing.
Future reference- just don’t look at your comments again after you make them, unless you’ve come back because someone replied to you. No need to obsess over things you’ve said anyway. The internet will hate some, love some, and it won’t always make a lick of sense. Put it behind you and don’t concern yourself with it.
Thanks for mansplaining how to use Lemmy. Seriously though, it’s not that i care about downvotes, but rather I would prefer someone offer an actual counter-point vs simply downvoting. If something I say is wrong or bad then i want to know why. If what the other people say are reasonable then i may adjust my viewpoint.
Also sometimes I want to edit my comment to clarify something. If i feel that i misrepresented what I was trying to say (i.e. that most anime, not ALL anime have fanservice) then why wouldn’t I want to edit the post? Otherwise I’m purposely letting people misunderstanding one of the things I said. That doesn’t make much sense to do.
‘Mansplaining’ requires the explaining person to be a man.
You’re entitled to having an opinion. You’re allowed to share that opinion. You aren’t entitled to people stopping to tell you why they think you’re wrong. Nobody owes you the time to stop and explain things to you.
And receiving downvotes doesn’t necessarily mean someone thinks you’re wrong. It could just be that you’re being needlessly antagonistic. An example of this, is how I’m removing my sympathy upvotes to your previous comments. You obviously didn’t need my sympathy.
Isn’t mansplaining more of a general term these days? I hear both men and women mansplain regularly
Name an anime without a shower/bath scene. It’s a lot harder than you’d think.
You just named 4 anime which aren’t only relatively devoid of perverse humor, they’re also not meant to be humorous.
I don’t know of anybody picking up Attack on Titan, excited to laugh.
why downvotes? You guys like cringe fanservice?
You think something you dislike makes it cringe. Perhaps other people do not think that way, and just believe that some people like stuff, and other people like other stuff, without feeling attacked in their feelings.
I think blatently oversexualizing women and young girls nonstop in some anime is cringe, yes.
Then you missed the point that what you think does not have to be universal when it comes to reading material or movies.
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!”
It’s Sunny Always In Philadelphia?
Yep.
They did the Lethal Weapon 5 thing which was hilarious.
Read it again.
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.
Yippi ki yey melon farmer
It’s in the first film but yeah walking through glass barefoot, shooting people and throwing someone screaming from a ledge is all cool for the kids to watch.
There’s also the sign changing from “I Hate N-words” to “I Hate Everyone”
They chose something that was plausible with how his mouth moved to say mother fucker?
I think i remember a movie with that weird martial arts guy who lives in Russia now where they changed mother fucker to mother flipper lol
Yeah, they were trying to match the syntax, but mother flipper at least sorta makes sense. Mr. Falcon just made me think I had the bad guy’s name wrong the whole time.
Mr falcon is a way cooler replacement than mother flipper imo lol
For sure, 100%, but it’s more confusing as well. I remember the first time I heard it thinking, “Wait, why did they change it to Mr. Falcon? Is the general named Falcon? I thought he was Esperanza. Is his nickname Falcon? Did he make reference to falcons? Who is Mr. Falcon?”
I don’t remember if it was that movie or another Bruce Willis action movie, but there was a particular nonsensical line that sticks with me decades later. “I don’t care about any of this sweet tooth boot wash!” Like, wut?
What was the swear? I’m guessing bullshit for the last bit, but what’s sweet tooth?
Your guess is as good as mine.
I feel like even though there were probably instances of it before this, the “Yippee-ki-yay, Mr. Falcon” is kind of the OG, because it’s the first one I remember to become well-known on this new thing called “the internet”.
Yeah, i was either going to do Mr. Falcon or, “find a stranger in the Alps,” and someone beat me to the Alps. I think Falcon was first though.
Ah, the Norwegian subtitle crew had creative freedom when translating that line. The official translation was “hipp hurra kølletryne” which would translate back to english as “hip hooray club face” (“club” as in golf club or hockey stick - which of course also is a goofy euphemism for penis).
Warriors of the Wind (edited Nausicaä from the Valley of the Wind), can’t have ecologic and pacifistic messages, must replace it with dumb good against bad. This was one of the major mask down moments of the US for me.
Something very similar happened to Angel’s Egg/Tenshi no Tomago. This slow, meandering, beautiful existential art film about how hopeless it is to be alive. (Like, the only real talking in the story is a telling of the Noah’s Ark story where God leaves and the bird doesn’t come back)
It’s probably one of the best films ever made - as profound as anything by Tarkovsky.
Wait - I had this on DVD and loved it as a kid. I watched the English dub of course because my 10yo brain didn’t have the patience for reading subs.
I remember a strong ecological and pacifistic message. What was changed?
Machine translated from german wikipedia (english one is less comprehensive on that but has other details):
New World Pictures acquired the US rights to Nausicaä in 1985. For a children’s film release under the title Warriors of the Wind, they shortened the anime by more than 23 minutes, or about a fifth of its total length. The ecological and pacifist message was removed and replaced with a battle of good against evil.[11] The names were also changed, with “Princess Sandra” now fighting against evil “Gorgon monsters.” This US version also made its way to Europe, where it was released in France by Aprovision as La Princesse des Etoiles and in German by UFA in 1986 as Sternenkrieger, both on VHS.
English Wikipedia;
The Manson cut was derided by Miyazaki, and led to Ghibli’s “no cuts” rule for future international releases. It was eventually replaced in circulation by an uncut, redubbed version produced by Walt Disney Pictures in 2005.
Suzuki knew of a small, hard-to-find store in Tokyo hidden away underneath the train tracks between Shinbashi and Yurakucho. It was where Japanese film studios bought the realistic-looking weapons used in Japanese samurai movies. Suzuki picked out a sword there and brought it with him to New York for our meeting with Harvey. It was a very convincing replica of a Japanese samurai sword. It was realistic in every detail except that the blade was not sharp, which you could not tell unless you got a good, close look at it.
These were still the days when you could bring a samurai sword with you in your carry-on luggage on a commercial flight from Tokyo to New York. Suzuki presented the sword to Harvey in a conference room full of horrified Miramax employees. One of them later approached me and said, “You gave Harvey a SWORD? Are you CRAZY?”
When Suzuki presented Harvey with the sword, Suzuki shouted in English and in a loud voice, “Mononoke Hime, NO CUT!”
It was eventually replaced in circulation by an uncut, redubbed version produced by Walt Disney Pictures in 2005.
Okay thank the gods, I must have had this one. That would place me at exactly 10yo, and I definitely don’t remember any “gorgon monsters”. Thanks for the context! I’m relieved now haha
The Malaysian version of Matrix cut out the kissing scene at the end.
MASH on Channel 10 (Australia) used to be so heavily censored they would splice two episodes into one.
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
on this Monday to Friday plane!
If I were stuck on a plane (let alone one with monkey-eating snakes) for 5 days straight, I’d reach a breaking point, too.
