History ClusterFBomb / LiveActionTV

-> You can all thank Christi for my mood! She stood at my front desk and yelled the [[GoshDangitToHeck F-word]], ''seventeen'' times! That's ''sickening!''

* ''Series/CuteyHoneyTheLive'' features Duke Watari, a member of Panther Claw. Usually, a calm and composed gentleman, but if you wrong him, no matter how minor the offense..."'''''SHIT!!!'''''"

* ''Series/TheBear'', as of this writing, has only 2 seasons, and an ''impressive'' 981 uses of the word "fuck" across them. This is a [[TruthInTelevision justified case]], however; anyone who has worked in a kitchen will tell you that this is either entirely accurate to the environment, or ''toned down'' from how it really is.

* How has ''Series/QueerAsFolk'' ''not'' been fucking mentioned yet?

* Creator/{{CNN}}'s coverage of the Persian Gulf War, which featured live interviews with soldiers on the ground, would sometimes veer into this trope. Presumably the troops who'd casually used such language on camera didn't realize that the real-time satellite feed couldn't be edited to bleep out their F bombs.

* ''Series/CuteyHoneyTheLive'' features Duke Watari, a member of Panther Claw. Usually, a calm and composed gentleman, but if you wrong him, no matter how minor the offense..."'''''[[SurprisinglyGoodEnglish SHIT!!!]]'''''"

* PlayedForLaughs in the ''Series/MysteryScienceTheater3000'' episode, "Film/AgentForHARM", when [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GR3UDmnTYFs&t=1m13s Crow tries to help Mike by being a character witness]] in his trial for [[MikeNelsonDestroyerOfWorlds blowing up a few planets on accident.]]

* The original series of ''Series/{{Being Human|UK}}'' got some stunners in, but the series four finale managed to give us Annie's most epic line in the shows history.
-->'''Annie''' Give me back my FUCKING baby!

* ''Film/BostocksCup'' has a half-time team talk in which the titular team's manager, its top scorer, the team captain, and even ''the referee'' all get involved in the swearing:
-->'''Bertie Masson:''' I'M the fucking manager! And god fucking help me, you'll do as I fucking say!\\
'''Alan Hardy:''' We can't understand a fucking word you're saying!\\
'''Bertie Masson:''' What the fuck's your problem lad?\\
'''Mick Wallace:''' Yeah, what the fuck is your fucking problem?\\
'''Alan Hardy:''' Oh, it's a fucking joke! That's what this lot is! It's a fucking joke!\\
''[the referee opens the dressing room door]''\\
'''The Referee:''' Alright, come on. Time for the second half, you bunch of fucking cunts.

** Series/BoardwalkEmpire appears to be following suit, particularly in the case of the fuckin' commodore.

* On ''Series/TopGear'', presenter Creator/RichardHammond is one the most likely to throw profanity around like confetti. However, he's also been known to let fly with a choice word, clap a hand to his mouth, and say "Where did that come from?"

* The ''scripts'' of Series/{{Lost}} indulge in this. ABC says that it makes them "energetic" and fun to read. From the end of Two for the Road, which uses "fuck" almost a hundred times and is not alone in that regard:

* How has Series/QueerAsFolk ''not'' been fucking mentioned yet?

* Daniel Tosh does this sometimes on ''Series/{{Tosh0}}'', for comedic value of course. mostly to create confusion to the watcher at home where there is an overly-long contionous beep when you don't know what the fuck he's saying.

* PlayedForLaughs in the Series/MysteryScienceTheater3000 episode, Film/AgentForHARM, when [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GR3UDmnTYFs&t=1m13s Crow tries to help Mike by being a character witness]] in his trial for [[MikEnelsonDestroyerOfWorlds blowing up a few planets on accident.]]

* NZ dramedy series Series/OutrageousFortune. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1dqTrUpmwPg Especially if this one episode is anything to go by]].

* Series/TheFranchise's second season gives us Ozzie Guillen, who, apparently, in one motivational speech, used ''ninety-seven'' F-bombs.

* LiveActionTV/ComedyCentralRoastOfPamelaAnderson: During Creator/SarahSilverman's time at the dias, she unleashes a metric ton of obscenities while describing certain parts of Pam's anatomy. The original televised version combines this with ClusterBleepBomb as nearly every word out of her mouth had to be bleeped out.

** ''Series/TheWire'', which usually uses profanity regularly but not to ridiculous degrees, features a particularly brilliant example: an entire three minutes and thirty seconds of two detectives, Bunk and [=McNulty=] examining a crime scene, the only words exchanged being variations on the f-word. It kind of has to be seen to be believed. ([[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vx0xulrOsgQ Definitely NSFW]].) The best part is that it's entirely coherent as a scene and doesn't seem out of character for a second. A [[SugarWiki/FunnyMoments CMOF]] has one of them ''almost'' say "shit", but it comes out "fuck".

*** And to the point that the punchline of one ''Series/{{MADtv}}'' skit about Series/TheSopranos is a Cluster Cut-Off-Swear Bomb.

*** Amusingly played with in an episode of; after Larry has accidentally left an abusive message intended for someone else on David Schwimmer's father's answering machine, Schwimmer's father calls back to return the favour with interest. After unleashing a barrage of abuse and swear words that would make a sailor blush, he finishes by calling Larry a comparatively tame "Son of a b-" - and the last word is [[CurseCutShort cut off by the end credits]] before he can finish.

** ''Series/LastWeekTonightWithJohnOliver'' gets in a ''very good one'' two days after the November 13th terrorist attacks in Paris, which also counts as a TheReasonYouSuckSpeech:

* On ''Series/TopGear'', presenter Richard Hammond is one the most likely to throw profanity around like confetti. However, he's also been known to let fly with a choice word, clap a hand to his mouth, and say "Where did that come from?"

** Play the Dexter Drinking game, where you take a drink every time Deb says Fuck. Go ahead, I dare you. I double-dog dare you. $5 says you're unconscious by the end of the episode.

* The internet/TV series ''WebVideo/{{Devvo}}'' can go as far as using the word "fuck" before every noun, adjective and verb; "I'm fucking sweared out! But fucking thing is, I fucking found this fucking motor. Fucking Rover, like. Some fuckin (''bleeped'') left fucking door open. I'll fucking show ya mate, fucking show ya". He also yells random strings of swear words at buses and dead pigeons for no reason.

* Creator/{{MTV}} Brazil VJ and punk rock singer João Gordo always speaks his mind, so his TV shows feature lots of profanity. When participating in the Brazilian ''The Moment of Truth'', he released at least 10 ClusterFBomb's -- during a Sunday afternoon in a major network.
* Gordon fucking Ramsay's ''Series/KitchenNightmares'' contains so much swearing that in Australia there was a parliamentary inquiry into whether it was appropriate to air it at the {{Watershed}}-dubious time of 8:30PM.

*** Like Kitchen Nightmares, Hell's Kitchen has a bleep-o-fucking-meter at Website/TelevisionWithoutPity...two, actually: one for Gordon, and one for the contestants. At least, it used to. It was eventually dropped.

* ''The Adam & Joe Show'' [=NewSic=]* : "He was heard to say 'Fuck you, fuck this, fuck fucker'".

* One of Creator/SteveCoogan's videos is prefaced with his Paul Calf character explaining that the reason why it is rated 18 is because of the bad language, and going on to explain exactly what words are used and how many times (28 fucks, 29 counting that fuck, fuck it make it 30 etc.). At the end he conceeds that in fact, all the bad language is in his introduction "and the rest of the video is like ''Bambi''."

* ''The Wil Wheaton Project'' saw [[WesternAnimation/HeManAndTheMastersOfTheUniverse1983 Skeletor]] as a guest host, who seemed to love this trope:

* LiveActionTV/ComedyCentralRoastOfPamelaAnderson: During Sarah Silverman's time at the dias, she unleashes a metric ton of obscenities while describing certain parts of Pam's anatomy. The original televised version combines this with ClusterBleepBomb as nearly every word out of her mouth had to be bleeped out.

*** Fuck me, you mean to say you mention that fucking episode, but not the one with the chef who has HollywoodTourettes? ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LTmHS-T5dLA Tag team]]'' ClusterFBomb.

** ''Series/TrueBlood'', especially from season 3 on, is ''built'' on this. It has been said that at least 10% of the dialogue consists of expletives (a joke, of course, but still - this is probably the most swear-loaded scripted show currently on air).

* Any HBO show (other than ''Series/BigLove'') could be accused of this.

** For an interesting early dropping of the bomb on HBO, see Billy Crystal's "Don't Get Me Started." Crystal's imitation of his father's home movies have him portraying his uncle cursing the air blue at a family barbecue, but the "film" is silent, Crystal only mouths the words for everyone to follow.

* MTV Brazil VJ and punk rock singer João Gordo always speaks his mind, so his TV shows feature lots of profanity. When participating in the Brazilian ''The Moment of Truth'', he released at least 10 ClusterFBomb's -- during a Sunday afternoon in a major network.

* ''Trailer Park Boys''
* The blooper reels for ''Series/{{Firefly}}'' and ''[[TheMovie Serenity]]''. Basically, whenever anyone forgets their lines (especially Nathan Fillion or Gina Torres), they drop a ClusterFBomb. In the show itself, [[ForeignCussWord translating the unfortunately badly-pronounced Mandarin]] will usually reveal [[ForeignLanguageTirade lengthy, creative and glorious obscenity]] they would never have gotten away with otherwise.

* CNN's coverage of the Persian Gulf War, which featured live interviews with soldiers on the ground, would sometimes veer into this trope. Presumably the troops who'd casually used such language on camera didn't realize that the real-time satellite feed couldn't be edited to bleep out their F bombs.

* ''Dog The Bounty Hunter''. It seems to be a prerequisite that whenever a criminal is taken down, everyone involved has to yell variations of ''"FREEZE, MUTHAFUCKER!"''

* ''The Motherfucking Osbournes''.

* One of SteveCoogan's videos is prefaced with his Paul Calf character explaining that the reason why it is rated 18 is because of the bad language, and going on to explain exactly what words are used and how many times (28 fucks, 29 counting that fuck, fuck it make it 30 etc.). At the end he conceeds that in fact, all the bad language is in his introduction "and the rest of the video is like ''Bambi''."
