| rdfs:comment | - A completely nude character's "naughty bits" are blocked from the camera by a convenient prop or oddity of architecture, yet every other character in the scene gets an eyeful, usually resulting in either ogling and nosebleeds, or Squicks and grabs for the Brain Bleach. Usually this is used just out of cultural necessity, and/or to hide the fact that the cast members involved weren't really nude in the filming of the scene, but it can be turned into a gag due to the increasing absurdity of the covering elements, as seen in the Austin Powers films. Even when technically played straight, overuse of this trope tends to break the audience's Willing Suspension of Disbelief and effectively become a gag.

Another common example is when a female character takes a bath. The bubbles will generally cover her "naughty bits" -- somehow like a Modesty Bubble Bath or Modesty Foam Bath. See Censor Suds for more on this form of scenery censorship. In comics, speech bubbles are very serviceable too. Bowdlerized is when the original footage is censored to allow normal viewing for a different audience, which contains some overlap with this. For hidden faces, see The Faceless. For bedtime Scenery Censor techniques, see Modesty Bedsheet. Related to Godiva Hair and Hand or Object Underwear. TV shows and movies (be they animated or live action) that use bathing scenes usually rely on Censor Steam or Censor Suds. For cases in which an actress is pregnant but her character isn't, see Hide Your Pregnancy. Examples of Scenery Censor include:
