Funny T.V. Euphemisms.

Was watching a Die Hard movie on TV and the dialogue goes like " Yippee kai yay, MELON FARMER!". That cracked me up 😀
So what are the funniest TV euphemisms you've heard?
Oh and on that note, what are some of the most iconic movie one-liners?
I submit:
"I'll be back" - Terminator
"I'm gonna make him an offer he can't refuse" - The Godfather
and my personal favorite: " Frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn." - Gone With the Wind 😁
I give up. I see not point in living if I can't be beautiful.

Wait, wait, wait!
Did... he actually say "Yippee kai yay, MELON FARMER!"? Are you self censoring yourself, or was the diaolog "melon farmer" so it was able to air it on TV? Either way I got a chuckle, but if it's the former, it blows my mind that TV stations can even put a movie as intensely violent as Die Hard on air, but then in the grand scheme of things, feel the need to censor a word. Like, THAT'S the line we're gonna draw? I can watch a man murder 20 human beings, but "the F-word" is a no-go?
And speaking of The Godfather, you ever watch it on TV? It's hysterical how they censor stuff like "dick" or even "bastard", but then allow words like "nigger" or "kike". It's like....... WOW, really? I mean, I'm not offended by the use of these words in a movie because I'm not an idiot and understand that I'm watching a movie with actors playing parts. It'd be different if the point of the movie was "to be racist", but it's not, so I'm not gonna write angry letters to Francis Coppola. That's silly.
But still, for consistency's sake, how could you censor one and not the other? Weird...
Anyway, a movie line?
I always got a laugh outta the "I don't wanna sound like a queer or nothing, but" gag in the movie "Orgasmo". Particularly the last one, where after about four other gags using this line, the dude turns to another dude and says "I don't wanna sound like a queer or nothing, but I'd really like to have sex with you tonight."

Yup the dialogue was dubbed as "melon farmer" so it could air on TV. I'm not a fan of watching movies on TV because of all the pointless beeping, but this is a whole new level of ridiculous.
