I see VP has beaten me to it. (I actually know very little of MPFC's output, but some of it - like most of the Holy Grail - sticks.)

Found it! (video)

HEAD KNIGHT: Then, when you have found the shrubbery, you must cut down the mightiest tree in the forest... with... a herring! [dramatic chord]

ARTHUR: We shall do no such thing!

HEAD KNIGHT: Oh, please!

ARTHUR: Cut down a tree with a herring? It can't be done.

KNIGHTS OF NI: Aaaaugh! Aaaugh!

HEAD KNIGHT: Augh! Ohh! Don't say that word.

ARTHUR: What word?

HEAD KNIGHT: I cannot tell, suffice to say is one of the words the Knights of Ni cannot hear.

ARTHUR: How can we not say the word if you don't tell us what it is?

KNIGHTS OF NI: Aaaaugh!

HEAD KNIGHT: You said it again!

ARTHUR: What, 'is'?

KNIGHTS OF NI: Agh! No, not 'is'.

HEAD KNIGHT: No, not 'is'. You wouldn't get vary far in life not saying 'is'.

KNIGHTS OF NI: No, not 'is'. Not 'is'.

BEDEVERE: My liege, it's Sir Robin!

MINSTREL: [singing] Packing it in and packing it up, And sneaking away and buggering up, And chickening out and pissing off home, Yes, bravely he is throwing in the sponge.

ARTHUR: Sir Robin!

ROBIN: My liege! It's good to see you.

HEAD KNIGHT: Now he's said the word!

ARTHUR: Surely you've not given up your quest for the Holy Grail?

MINSTREL: [singing] He is sneaking away and buggering up--

ROBIN: Shut up! No, no. No. Far from it.

HEAD KNIGHT: He said the word again!

KNIGHTS OF NI: Aaaaugh!

ROBIN: I was looking for it.

KNIGHTS OF NI: Aaaaugh!

ROBIN: Uh, here-- here in this forest.

ARTHUR: No, it is far from this place.

KNIGHTS OF NI: Aaaaugh!

HEAD KNIGHT: Aaaaugh! Stop saying the word! The word...

ARTHUR: Oh, stop it!

KNIGHTS OF NI: ...we cannot hear!

HEAD KNIGHT: Ow! He said it again!

ARTHUR: Patsy!

HEAD KNIGHT: Wait! I said it! I said it! [clop clop clop] Ooh! I said it again! And there again! That's three 'it's! Ohh!

KNIGHTS OF NI: Aaaaugh!

Sir Lancelot: We were in the nick of time. You were in great peril.
Sir Galahad: I don't think I was.
Sir Lancelot: Yes, you were. You were in terrible peril.
Sir Galahad: Look, let me go back in there and face the peril.
Sir Lancelot: No, it's too perilous.
Sir Galahad: Look, it's my duty as a knight to sample as much peril as I can.
Sir Lancelot: No, we've got to find the Holy Grail. Come on.
Sir Galahad: Oh, let me have just a little bit of peril?
Sir Lancelot: No. It's unhealthy.
Sir Galahad: I bet you're gay.
Sir Lancelot: Am not.

Ok, then how about

Jack Nicholson at a typewriter. The camera zooms in on the text he typed:

All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy

All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy

All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy

This has piqued my interest -- can you give us poor low-reputation users a hint as to what the shocking deleted answer says?

Terrible is not the word... `Lame' came to my mind (I actually though my browser had died a strange death when I saw it...)

This whole discussion about something that is so terrible that it must not be named (or seen) reminds me of something. Where is Yemon with an appropriate Monty Python reference when you need him?

It has been locked as well as deleted, so it's not possible to edit it.

I don't know. I think if, by virtue of one's superpowers, one can see unsightly things, that's just the way it goes. I'm sure Superman sees, hears, and smells a whole lot of stuff that he'd rather not.

You could edit it, if that would solve the problem.

Consider the most recent answer to this question, which has been deleted (so you can only really consider it if you have the needed rep for that...) ...

Can one really delete it?
