Do you think that swearing in shows, movies, web shows, and games is funnier when its bleeped out?

Only on occasion, not if every word is constantly bleeped out. The swear words episode on Spongebob was quite funny, and the Poker Night episode from Apocalypse Lane.
There was a South Park one where the bleep was funny, think it's in a song, but I can't remember which.
But not if it's always bleeped, that irritates the hell out of me, more so when (it seems to be just America that does this) they don't bleep "ass" but they bleep "hole".
Oh and if ***** is a swear that's pathetic (again seems to be America with different versions of what's acceptable, but I swear ***** is acceptable daytime TV)

If the swearing is used in context then it is extremely annoying because it breaks up the sentence. If it is done for comedy effect (Watch Apocalypse Lane's 'Poker Night' episode) then it can make it a lot funnier.
I'd say when they have a silence when the person swears rather than a 'beep' it is even more annoying, and it gets even more idiotic when they bleep the word but not enough, so you can still make out what the word is; it completely gets rid of the point.

When it's bleeped out for comedic effect, like in that episode of Family Guy, then it's bloody hilarious.
"You know, you're lucky you're good at (bleep) my (bleep) or I'd never put up with you. You know what I'm talking about, when you (bleep) a lubed up (bleep) of toothpaste in my (bleep) while you (bleep) on a cherry (bleep) Episcopalian (bleep) extension cord (bleep) wetness (bleep) with a parking ticket. That is the best."

I've always thought that sudden strange noise interrupting the curse word was funnier than the actual word being said.
Asking this is like asking if comic relief always is a good idea.
If censoring is consistent with the humour of the rest of the show, it works. Probably in a few other occasions too.
I have no preference in this question, I do have a preference on the type of shows I like though. Usually that means uncensored, or maybe that's because I live in a place that don't make a habit of it.

there should be a sometimes option. Because movies that do bleep it out its like BLLEEEEEEPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP!!! then its funny. But when its just like You Mother Bleep Bleep hole then its not funny at all.
