Meanwhile Dawson eye molested every pretty girl on the show.
And he married one of them.
Actually, I think they clean up the answers and use some cleaner yet funnier term. I'm referring to the ABC celebrity version. "Feud" rarely gets a TV-14, but "Pyramid" usually does and it it's not usually dirty.
It depends on the contestants. If they have child/teen celebrities, they'll usually clean things up a bit, but other episodes have no boundaries. One episode of Celeb Feud recently had a contestant give an answer of "cut off his penis" in response to a question. And then on the same day's Pyramid, one celebrity had to describe "condom" and said "Before sex, you put it on your [bleep]".
Pyramid has had sexual words as clues several times. I was at a taping of a game that hasn't aired yet where one word was "quickie". One episode in a previous season had "sex" as a clue and the contestant did a "finger in hole" gesture and they had to pixelate his hands.
My market also carried the test run of the upcoming new game show 25 Words or Less (which I'm pretty sure was TV-PG) and there were quite a few dirty words there too, or at least words that were set up to have the contestant give dirty clues. The first episode had "motorboat" as a word and the contestant said "face in boobs". The celebrities did not get it, and afterwards, Meredith Vieira said, "Don't you two act like you don't know what motorboating is." Another episode had "swallow" described as "spit or...", which was not figured out, either.
I remember the celebrity who described a condom on "Pyramid". That was very funny and Michael Strahan thanked the viewers because it was clear the show was about to be cancelled. They've done far worse on "Match Game" but anything really bad gets bleeped. Normally, though, "Pyramid" just has categories that sound dirty but aren't.
Regardless, "Feud" rarely gets a TV-14. Without content indicators, these age ratings would be nearly useless. It appears that the more letters, the dirtier an episode is.

This goes back to the discussions in other threads on who decides the rating on TV shows where some shows get a 14 rating when it isn't justified and other shows get a G or PG rating when there's enough on it for a 14 rating. I think in a lot of cases it's done by someone at the network and just given a blanket rating for all of the series instead of individual shows.
And they get a G rating on GSN, although I'd say that at least some episodes should be PG. I'll admit the answers got racy then, but it was mostly centered around boob and butt jokes, but the answers on the current versions concern other private parts at times. Once again it's like Family Feud where it's the answers from the contestants and panel at times more than the question itself, although the question can lead into the raunchy answers.
