Dexter's Laboratory

"Rude Removal" is an episode segment of the animated television series Dexter's Laboratory. The episode was produced during the original run of Dexter's Lab, but Cartoon Network refused to let it air due to the characters swearing, even though the swear words were censored. Adult Swim acquired the episode and uploaded it on YouTube and Adult Swim Video on January 22, 2013, but it was removed shortly afterwards. After being uploaded on YouTube, it gained over 500,000 views within 24 hours. Before its official premiere, the episode was screened during certain animation festivals. The title card for "Rude Removal" shows Dee Dee gesturing with her middle finger as well as Dexter mooning towards the audience. In the short, Dexter and Dee Dee are accidentally split into rude and polite clones of themselves. Thirteen words are censored, twelve spoken by rude Dee Dee and rude Dexter, and one uttered by normal Dexter at the end of the episode.
