KS has a list of banned vanity plates. I'm sad that GUNDAM is forbidden.
Also: Vanity plates are a point of irritation for me, because people have no imagination when it comes to picking them. I thought the worst was a Camry with a BAZINGA plate, but weeks later I saw a Corvette with LVNLRG which almost made me puke.
Yet another week later, I found a UGOGOD1, which meant that UGOGOD was taken and the driver didn't want to pick anything else.

Yeah, I'm starting to think that the tool as designed on the second link isn't designed correctly -- that FCK, GAY, BUTT, SEX would all trigger a "No" in the real world in most any combination, because they exist on the list individually, but the tool doesn't take that into account.
But maybe I'm thinking the government is more capable than it really is. It wouldn't be the first time I'd been called a optimistic liberal. (And it wouldn't be the first time I was wrong.)

Nova Scotia's similar list is way more fun than this one. Rather than just being a list of words that they won't allow outright, it's also a list of personalized plates they've had to ban.

I have some friends who really like The Three Musketeers. When vanity plates were rolled out, they went and got DUMAS. I dropped by to visit, and they proudly showed me their new plate. I said "You know, someone is going to think that says "dumbass." They looked at each other for a bit. Then the brother of one of my friends came up the driveway, stopped and said "Hey, dumbass!" There were more looks, but they kept that license plate for many years.

FYoo is fine.
I expect that there is a human element to these things as well. As a teen, I applied for a vanity plate, which was innocent (which I will not reveal). The clerk typed the word into the computer, which showed it as available/not banned. Then, she picked up the phone, and called someone, reading the license plate. They thought about it for a moment, and then cleared it.
I expect that, for example, if I had tried FYoo, however, I would be blocked.

The embedded checker is not so good. I don't think you can fool DMV with the 0 for O or 1 for I tricks, since license plates aren't encoded with both. I would think that the DMV automatically flags for review anything wherein a forbidden character sequence appears as a substring. At the yahoo link we're only checking exact matches against a string list. Some stuff's on there, like SH1T. But most things aren't, and there's no way they'd print a plate that said YUMJI22 or CUN7.

Once upon a time, when I was working in Princeton, there was a tiny red sports car parked in our parking lot every day. The license plate said: HOT69X.
I commuted with a coworker and we regularly made guesses about who drove the car. It was fun to sort of try to imagine which of the government drones we worked with could possibly be HOT69X.
And then one day, it happened. HOT69X came out of the building and got into her car and it all made so much more sense.

I wonder if some of these were banned simply due to an insanely high number of requests. If they were publicly available, I could imagine the annoyance and staff time consumed having people repeatedly call to check to see if the tag was recently available, not to mention the possibility of a less-than honest employee "selling" this tag number to a highest bidder.
Just perusing the list it seems that plates like "57CHVY" "60VETTE" and "NCCI70I" would only be on the banned list for these reasons.

In VA, I used the automated system to get MYK OXBG for my "midlife crisis" car as a joke, you know, cause of what we say about guys with sports cars. It was/is my understanding that they don't check that hard, but if they get a complaint from from a prude then they may recall your plate.
It actually got me out of a speeding ticket once because the officer was so amused by it. Don't have the car anymore, but did keep the plates.
