Censorship of Adventure Time

In Australia, Adventure Time has been heavily censored by Cartoon Network Australia. The censorship of this localization removes various scenes, and statements in the show that are deemed as inappropriate for Australian viewers. Most of the censorship has been removed due to sexually suggestive innuendo. The Philippines airing of Adventure Time also uses the Australian localization. So far, 33 episodes out of 39 have been edited, and 7 minutes and 34.42 seconds worth of removed scenes have been documented so far.

The list of censored scenes are as follows:

Slumber Party Panic

 * Princess Bubblegum mentioning that she used to date Mr. Cream Puff was cut out in Australia.

Shaved Time of "Slumber Party Panic"

 * Shaved time: 3.6 seconds

Trouble in Lumpy Space
Trouble in Lumpy Space is regarded as the most heavily censored episode of Adventure Time in Australia to date. It is also the most choppiest censors ever.
 * "Make" from "Make-Out Point" has been blocked out, making it "Out Point".
 * Any sexual references were cut out of the episode, such as, "L.S.P., you're so bad...".
 * At the beginning, when everybody was at the Mallow Tea Party, Finn said, "Princess, this tea party sucks in a big way. But thanks for the invite." However, they made it so that it's "Princess, this tea party--in a big way! But thanks for the invite."
 * When Monty says, "Why are you sucking up to us?"
 * The sentence said by Lumpy Space Princess, "I'm really really sorry Finn, but I can't help you, because my parents are horrible idiots!" was edited so that it only said, "I'm really really sorry Finn, but I can't help you."
 * The other sentence said by Lumpy Space Princess, "My friend Melissa has a car, but she's dating my ex-boyfriend Brad." was edited so that it would say, "My friend Melissa has a car."
 * This sentence was changed from, "Melissa, you should totally drive us to Make-Out Point, to make out with hot boys." to "Melissa, you should --- drive us to -Out Point, to--" choppily.
 * The sentence was changed from, "Yeah, lumpiness sucks!" to "Yeah, lumpiness--", in a really choppy way.
 * The sentence was changed from, "This orb is the antidote, brah." to "This orb is the antidote.", because it sounds like "bra".
 * Finn saying "Ham-a-cow!" was cut out, even though it isn't innopropriate.
 * Monty saying "Jam on, man." was changed to "--on, man." This seems to be quite stupid, as "jam" isn't a swear word.
 * LSP saying "Shucks!" was cut as well.

Shaved Time of "Trouble in Lumpy Space"

Prisoners of Love

 * ...to be added...

Tree Trunks

 * Tree Trunks mentioning seducing the Brain Beast and Finn talking to her about it were cut in Australia.

Shaved Time of "Tree Trunks"

The Enchiridion!

 * When Finn kicked the ogre in the groin, the show zoomed into his face so that it would not show emphasis to the groin.
 * The Heart Beast exploding and blood splattering all over the screen was cut.
 * Mannish referencing Finn's 'nard-kicking ability' was edited so it would simply say 'kicking ability'.
 * Finn kicking the Dark Magician in the groin was edited so when Finn's foot struck him, it would cut to a close-up of Finn's head shouting, "NEVER!" and the smoke dissapating after Finn kicked him. The clip of Finn's head was taken from the scene a few seconds later when Finn punches Key-per.
 * The Adventure Time logo at the end was cut in Australia for unknown reasons.

Shaved Time of "The Enchiridion!"

 * Shaved time: 5 seconds

Ricardio the Heart Guy

 * The whole scene where Ice King accidentily kisses Jake's butt was cut.
 * Suprisingly, when "Ricardio the Heart Guy" first aired in Australia, that scene wasn't cut. However, the censors must have recognised the (supposed by them) sexual reference in Jake's butt and quickly 'patched up' the episode to make it cleaner.


 * The word 'patoot' was cut as well.
 * Ricardio revealing his plans about ripping out PB's heart and making out with it was cut.

Shaved Time of "Ricardio the Heart Guy"

 * Shaved time: 16.5 seconds

Shaved Time of "What is Life?"

 * ...to be added...

Freak City

 * The two-headed monster saying "Our crotch! Our evil crotch!" was cut to say, "Our--". This is stupid, considering the monster says it in such a way that it winds up sounding like the monster is yelling that their Clorox is in pain.
 * It's ironic that only that scene mentioned above was edited, while Cartoon Network Australia did not censor the words "suck", "nuts", "freaking" and "crotch" in this episode but usually does in any other episode that is aired.

 * Marceline's Fisherman Song only included "You look so cute, sitting in your boat..." instead of the other lyrics.
 * Finn saying that he was going to murder the Dimple Plant was cut.
 * The short scene when Finn cut the Dimple Plant's arm was cut as well.

 * ...to be added...

Shaved Time of "Mortal Recoil"
