Rocco: Fucking... what the fucking... fuck... who the fuck... fuck this... fucking... how did you two fucking fucks... FUCK! Connor: Well, that certainly illustrates the diversity of the word. — The Boondock Saints
Swearing is cool as fuck! Right? Are we fucking right? Fuck yes, we are!
Fuck, people fucking swear. It's a fucking fact of fucking life. As a result, fucking authors who try to avoid the fuck out of having their fucking characters use harsh fucking language end up sounding pretty fucking silly.
Some of those fuckers, however, go to the fucking opposite extreme. (Or is it the opposite fucking extreme? That's probably a fucking distinction without a fucking difference.) They fucking try to make their fucking dialogue sound fucking "fresh" and fucking "real" by fucking dropping fucking swear words into every other fucking sentence, or more fucking often, until they use fuck-all fucking foul fucking language every fucking phrase, whether or not they have the slightest fucking worth of use. This is the fucking Cluster F Bomb: fucking swearing for fucking swearing's sake, where fucking realism and fucking self-restraint can go fuck themselves. Extreme fucking forms of this type of fucking dialogue can become blatantly fucking unrealistic and quickly de-fucking-sensitize motherfucking audiences, thereby fucking up the entire fucking purpose of fucking swearing.
This is a fucking subjective fuckstick of a trope. The "realism" factor is very fucking context-fuck-dependent: fucking obscenities that sound fucking natural coming from a fucking drunken frat boy or a violent-as-fuck Glaswegian would fucking sound completely fucked up coming from a fucking Indiana housewife (although sometimes that's the fucking point). And every fucking fucker will have their own fucking standards for how much cussing is too fucking much.
If these fucking shows or movies get fucking rebroadcast on network TV or even basic fucking cable, expect the offending fucking scenes to be fucking fucked up and fucking edited to within an inch of their fucking lives, mrifking ludicrously redubbed, or ***ing hilariously deafiningly bleeped the f*** out.
Some fucking writers will give a character fucking Tourettes Shitcock Syndrome to fucking justify this. Compare fucking Refuge In Vulgarity, and con-fucking- trast Foreign Cuss Word, fucking Pardon My Klingon, and especially Gosh fucking Dang It To Heck. Just for the fuck of it, see also that other fuckin' wiki .
Notice that if you take a fucking look at most fucking kinds of fucking pornographic fucking literature, you'll find that they also fuck the living fuck out of some of the same words as the Cluster F Bomb. The two phenomena may seem pretty fucking similar, but there's a big fucking difference. Because if you're writing a pornographic fucking text, or in some kind of similar fucking circumstances, you're using "fuck" when you mean actual fucking. (Lady Chatterley's Fucking Lover is a fucking example of this, and not of the Cluster F Bomb version.) On the other fucking hand, some of even the most fucking excessive users of the Cluster F Bomb will tend to use other, milder choices of fucking words for when the fucking characters have actually begun to fucking talk about literal fucking. Some fuckers don't fucking see the fucking distinction, but there is a motherfucking one. The word "fuck" has been a fucking integral part of fucking dirty talk for many fucking centuries before the first fucker dropped a fucking Cluster F Bomb.
Fucking compare with Precision Fucking F Strike, motherfuckers. Fucking see also Obligatory Fucking Swearing, which sometimes fucking well takes the form of fucking Cluster F Bombs all over the fucking place.
WARNING: This article gratuitously fucks the living fuck out of the fucking F word. Which we probably should have fucking warned you about approximately twenty fucking lines ago. So, uh... if you are offended by the fucking text above, please don't fucking read it, because if you do, we're fucked... Fuck.

open/close all folders
'Fucking Anime and 'fucking Manga
- A lot of dubbed anime from Manga UK
in the 1990s, such as Cyber City Oedo 808, Angel Cop, and Genocyber did this to garner an R-rating so everyone knew that these animes were not for kids. Given the gorn of Angel Cop and Genocyber, this probably wasn't necessary.
- Episode 12 of Abenobashi Mahou Shoutengai contains one of these from a hot dog vendor dressed as Elvis, for no reason other than that it was the "Hollywood" episode.
- Both the English dub and the subtitles for Gantz are filled with foul language.
- When Yami is tricked into going out with Téa in Yu Gi Oh The Abridged Series, he lets out a rant that is almost entirely composed of Sound Effect Bleeps.
- "And then you'll have to BLEEP sideways!"
- Naruto Abridged had a shorter outburst by Sasuke when his scene is cut off for the third time that episode.
- The refrain of the second opening song to Death Note "What's Up People". However, it's so incomprehensible that it airs on Adult Swim and YTV entirely unedited.
- The dub of Black Lagoon, as evident here
(For those playing along at home, they're averaging at over 10 fucks per episode, or 1 fuck every 2.2 minutes). The original version was like this, as well. And by that I mean the swear words were in English. The other characters cuss their fair share, but Revy herself is by far the most foul-mouthed of all the characters on the show.
- Agito in Air Gear commonly uses the F bomb, even making it his catchphrase.
- Jan Valentine in Hellsing fits this trope perfectly. See here
.
- It's also utterly hilarious.
- There's also that teenage vampire in the second episode of the TV series (the male one).
- Given that he's a ridiculously strait-laced military man, you'll probably never hear Sousuke Sagara swear...unless, of course, he decides that he needs to go Gunnery Sergeant Hartman on your ass like he did in Fumoffu. If that happens, then prepare to endure every every curse, slur, and swear word ever uttered before he's through with you, you limp-dicked, motherfucking, cocksucking, shit-maggot!
- When asked, Sousuke reveals that his diatribes come from a guidebook written by Sgt. Melissa Mao. Kaname later wonders if he even knows what the things he's saying actually mean.
- The scene is even funnier in Super Robot Wars W, as Sosuke is doing it while in Bonta-Kun, with Kaname translating, Cursing and all.
- For such a "gentleman", England from Axis Powers Hetalia certainly has one really filthy mouth... Of course, he also had a delinquent period as a pirate. BLOODY FUCKING SIR FRANCIS DRAKE, WHAT WHAT!
- Tony the alien says "FUCKING" in each one of his brief appearances. "FUCKING LIMEY! I'LL KILL YOU FUCKING LIMEY!" "YOUR FUCKING FAULT."
- Hiruma from Eyeshield 21, but only when directly addressing his Fucking Teammates, the Fucking Manager or the Fucking Opponents.
- Kaiji. There's even one scene where all he says is fuck as he kicks the shit out of a table, blowing off steam after giving a manly speech.
- Detroit Metal City. Johan Krauser vs Jack Ill Dark in a Cluster F Bomb duel.
- In a similar vein, one of Krauser's 'claims' to fame is the ability to yell 'rape' 10 times a second. As a favor to a sick fan, he attempts to push this record Up To Eleven, literally.
Close 'Fucking Anime and 'fucking Manga
'Fucking Comics
- John Constantine is generally fairly vulgar (in a British manner), but Brian Azzarello's run on Hellblazer took it to new heights: One issue had the "F-word" appearing 51 and a half times in a single issue, prompting the then-Director of Production to ask the Publisher, "Is this really necessary?" (For those who care, the one-half was someone screaming, across the top of a panel, "FUUUUUUUUU".)
- Transmetropolitan. Both displayed and referenced. For example, aside from the cuss-laden dialogue, the reader is informed that after the Beast won the last election, Spider Jerusalem attempted to submit an "8,000-word" column...of the word "fuck" written 8,000 times.
- Sam & Twitch, a spin off series of Spawn during the late 1990s had every single page of every single issue absolutely brimming with profanity. This troper remembers reading some fanmail at the back of each issue praising the writers for not swearing just to try to be cool, though I'm sure they were just trying to be ironic.
- In the last (so far) book of Gorsky and Butch, they do a Matrix parody. When they appear in a 'blank page', Gorsky launches into a Cluster F Bomb to prove that they are outside the 'comix' and no longer bound by its rules.
- In the Nodwick story Krutz, two necromancers need a word of power (krutz) said moretimes than they can hope to themselves in any reasonable amount of time. What do they do? Make it a swearword and popularize it overnight.
'Fucking Fan Works
'Fucking Films
- Bad Santa is a good example. It seems that every other word is a curse, which is especially amusing seeing as the main character is a department store Santa.
- Beverly Hills Cop is an Eddie Murphy swear-a-thon.
- Jay from The View Askewniverse (home to Clerks, Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back, and other Kevin Smith movies) is infamous for this. The most famous expression is his rap from the beginning of Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back, which features eight (creative) uses of the F-word and one shit.
- The Boondock Saints has its protagonists engaging in this all the time, the most hilarious instance being Rocco's reaction to the Copley Plaza massacre used as the page quote.
- Ditto for Scarface. See here
(NSFW by a longshot!) The special edition DVD even has a counter in the special features that tallies up how many F-Bombs Tony or one of the other characters let loose in the movie, along with how many bullets are fired. Several videos like this have since become an internet meme.
- The Polish dub has to be heard to be believed, as it quite noticeably doesn't feature any swearing stronger than the equivalent of "bloody hell".
- Quentin Tarantino and his imitators are very fond of dropping the F-Bomb constantly in their movies. Reservoir Dogs, which runs 99 minutes, uses it approximately 230 times.
- Although this is partly the actors' fault, because if you compare the screenplay as originally written to a transcript of what they actually say in the film, the usage of "fuck" increased by some 400%, or so I heard. It would seem that if the actors were having trouble remembering their exact lines, the general solution was to swear more to cover it up.
- And Reservoir Dogs also tends to use the form "fucking", which makes it just funny after about the fifth time.
- The Departed. Full stop.
- This troper's best friend refers to the aforementioned film as "The Motherfucking Departed," and now wants to be like Mark Wahlberg. Including dedicating a book to his dick.
- Compare to the Hong Kong version it is based it's nothing. It has more F-words, in at least three variants. Yes, Cantonese have three fucking variants for fuck or equivalent. Fuckers.
- Mish-mash cussing became increasingly predominant for the dialog of the Blade trilogy. Made for some very entertaining exchanges in second, just plain ridiculous in the third. Although the third one did give the world the glory that is "cock-juggling thundercunt".
- 3D Movie Maker gives us this wonderful example of the versatility of the F word in Will Maltby's Diabolical Delightment; "Shut the fuck up you fucked up fuck!"
- Frank Booth from the film Blue Velvet is the only character in the entire film to use the word. He makes up for it by saying (more like yelling) the F word in almost every line that he gives, often more than once. (The infamous line "Fuck you, you fucking fuck" comes from this movie.)
- Joe Pesci in his roles in Casino and Goodfellas makes extremely prolific use of the word. In Casino he drops the F bomb over 400 times by himself.
- Four Weddings And A Funeral's first dozen words are all the s-word, as the main character attempts to reach a wedding after oversleeping, seeing no cabs, finding his car clamped and finnaly running through London in an attempt to arrive in time.
- S-word? Was this redubbed for a family audience? As I recall it went something like "Fuck. Fuck, fuck, fuck. Fuck! Fuck, fucketty fuck fuck... fuck-a-doodle-doo."
- They actually had to film large parts of the movie twice, once with the swearing toned down, so it could be played on American TV and on planes. Apparently executives even tried to get rid of a reference to a priest having an "enourmous erection" as it wouldn't be allowed on US TV!
- Although the movie as a whole is fairly tame, one scene of one "cluster bomb" was the sole reason Planes, Trains and Automobiles received an 'R' rating. In his review of the movie, Ebert described it as a "verbal symphony for the f-word."
"You can start by wiping that fucking dumb-ass smile off your rosy fucking cheeks. Then give me a fucking automobile. A fucking Datsun, a fucking Toyota, a fucking Buick. Four fucking wheels and a seat... I don't care for the way your company left me in the middle of fucking fucking nowhere with keys to a fucking car that isn't fucking there. I didn't care to fucking walk down a fucking highway and across a fucking runway to get back here to have you smile at my fucking face. I want a fucking car right fucking now."
- Of course, don't forget the rebuttal to this in the same movie...
Car Rental Agent: May I see your rental agreement? Neal: I threw it away. Car Rental Agent: Oh boy. Neal: Oh boy, what? Car Rental Agent: You're fucked.
- As this relatively NSFW abridgment
shall show, The Big Lebowski makes liberal use of the F-Bomb. "Do you have to use so many cuss words?"
- What the fuck you talking about?
- A 1997 British film called Nil By Mouth set the record for the most uses of the word in fictional context (428 times) as indicated by the Wikipedia link above.
- The most instances of the word used in any movie is a 2005 documentary named (guess what?) Fuck, which is about the word itself. It uses the word over eight hundred times, roughly nine a minute.
- "I have HAD it with these mother-fucking snakes on this mother-fucking plane!!"
- Strangely enough, the rest of the movie was relatively curse free. This is because that line was added during reshoots intended to give the movie an R rating.
- The reshoots were only doing because the series got a cult following before it was even finished shooting, just because Snakes on a Plane sounded hilarious. At some point or another fans clamored to have Samuel Jackson use that line. When the studio realized that they managed to get a cult following before they even released it, they decided they were just going to reshoot some and try to appeal to them, so that's how the line wound up getting worked in.
- The documentary 101 Reasons Not To Be A Pro Wrestler has a trailer
that starts with a clip from an interview with Sean O'Haire...
- Glengarry Glen Ross. Used casually and constantly. You know someone is really upset when they start using cluster C bombs. (Yes I know it was a play first. I didn't see the play.)
- The cast sometimes referred to it as Death of a Fucking Salesman because of this.
- Ralph Fiennes in In Bruges. As Colin Farrell (in real life, not averse to the occasional Cluster F Bomb himself) puts it, "Geez, he swears a lot."
- Although The Proposition has loads of swearing, it's only Sam Stoat, in his desire to be cool, who truly overuses it, although Arthur occasionally comes close, with "Help! Your! Fucking! Self! Help! Your! Fucking! Self! Help! Your! Fucking! Self! Help! Your! Fucking! Self! Help! Your! Fucking! Self! Copper." Ironically, the interviews on the DVD reveal that the foulest mouth on set wasn't Ray Winstone, Danny Huston, Nick Cave, Tom Budge, or Guy Pearce, but Emily Watson.
- Heavy amounts of profanity in Day of the Dead, probably uttered during every sentence ever spoken by any character in the film.
- Spoofed in Shaun Of The Dead:
Pete: It's four in the fucking morning! Shaun: It's Saturday! Pete: No, it's not. It's fucking Sunday. And I've got to go to fucking work in four fucking hours 'cos every other fucker in my fucking department is fucking ill! Now can you see why I'm SO FUCKING ANGRY? Ed: Fuck, yeah!
- Amusingly, they were mandated to do a different version of this scene for the airplane version. After some wondering of how in the world they were going to do this, they just replaced every use of the word "fuck" with the word "funk". The name of the special feature on the DVD with this? "Funky Pete". It (in this troper's eye) is probably more hilarious than the unedited scene by sheer inappropriateness.
- Every scene involving Jim Carrey's "sons" in Me, Myself, and Irene. The hook being that the foul-mouthed triplets have genius I Qs, but swear like gangsta rappers.
- A slight twist occurs in the Amazing Yen from the Oceans Eleven trilogy. Almost all of his speech is in Mandarin Chinese, but the few English lines he does have are nearly all swear words.
- The Guy Ritchie films. The Snatch DVD has an easter egg: when opened, it asks "Are you easily offended?" If no is picked, this shows up
. With "yes" instead, the video is shown with profanity BLEEPing censored (turning it even more hilarious).
- Wilt: In one scene, a construction worker who witnessed a woman's body it's really an inflatable sex doll being dumped into a hole and covered with concrete is talking to a cop:
Construction worker: You could see her fucking limbs... all fucking twisted... it were fucking horrible. Cop: (to his subordinate) Make a fucking note of that.
- Virtually every song in Tenacious D: The Pick of Destiny features creative and varied use of swearing, mostly 'fuck'. And yes, they rhyme "rock" and "cock" at least thirty times across the whole movie.
- The Blair Witch Project. Noteworthy because the dialogue was entirely improvised.
- Hard Core Logo. Just... Hard Core Logo.
- Planet Terror, of the Grindhouse double-feature:
El Wray: I like how you say "fuck". Cherry: Good. Fuck you. (later) You were being an unbelievable dick. I was walking out on you. I was cold, I took your fucking jacket. So if you're going to go on one of your psycho-obsessive controlling rants about a fucking jacket, then fucking take it because I'd rather fucking freeze than fucking hear about it one more time. El Wray: (long pause) Did you find what was in the jacket? Cherry: Fuck, no.
- An early shootout in Shoot Em Up takes place on the roof of "FAULK TRUCK & TOOL". The hero shoots out letters in the neon sign until only "F_U_K __U__" is left, "TOOL" being temporarily covered. The camera lingers on this for a moment... and the hero says "Fuck you, you fucking fuckers." (The villain replies by shooting out the final L.)
- Twin Town. 318 "fuck"s in 99 minutes. Well, it is set in effing Swansea.
- This troper remembers watching a horrid, low-budget horror movie called Chupacabra Terror years ago. The one line that sticks in her head: "Never fuck with a fucker, you'll only get fucked."
- See No Evil, Hear No Evil has a hilarious scene
in which the two main characters, one deaf and one blind, have a misunterstanding with a police officer. This results in her repeating "shit" some twenty times in rapid succession.
- Possibly parodied in Star Trek IV, in which Kirk explains how in the late 20th century, "Nobody pays attention to you unless you swear every other word. You'll find it in all the literature of the period." He cites the works of Jacqueline Susann and Harold Robbins as examples, to which Spock replies "Ah, the giants."
- Les Grossman's response
to getting a ransom demand from the Flaming Dragons.
- Burn After Reading. We're used to seeing Brad Pitt dropping the F-bomb all over the shop, but it's very refreshing to hear it coming out of John Malkovich, J K Simmons and Tilda Swinton.
- "AMERICA! FUCK YEAH! COMING AGAIN TO SAVE THE MOTHERFUCKING DAY, YEAH!"
- On that note, Kim Jong-IL's rant when he dumps Hans Blix in the shark tank.
- The original script for The Matrix was toned down from this to a Cluster S Bomb, with Trinity's sixth or seventh line being a heartfelt utterance of the word.
- The opening scene of The Way Of The Gun features a particularly memorable speech from Sarah Silverman.
Raving Bitch: Hey dickless, get off the fucking car! Hey fucksuck, get your slippery fucking ass off the car! Listen to me, get off the fucking car with your fucking ass!
- Then they answer her back, and she gets really abusive.
- In Ocean's Twelve, when Benedict is tracking everyone down, there's a scene where Basher is in a studio with a guy, listening to the final of a song. The song is full of bleeps, and Basher and the guy start arguing, their speech full of bleeps, especially the bit where the guy goes,
"Well, if you want a *bleep* single on the *bleep* radio, you'll have to make some changes!" And then Basher goes,
"Well that's *bleep*, isn't it? That's really *bleep*."
- Four-letter words are used constantly and by everyone in An Officer and a Gentleman.
- The titular character of Happy Gilmore. That is all.
- Something of a subversion, really; it's a PG-13 movie, so most of Happy's foul-mouthed tirades are covered up by network censors' frantic bleeping. This actually makes it more funny, though.
- The film version of Watchmen. Especially The Comedian.
- Bon Cop Bad Cop puts a Québecois twist on this one:
Martin: Shit de fuck de shit de merde de shit de câlice de TABARNAK!
- Pretty much any movie produced by Judd Apatow is guaranteed to have this.
- Jonah Hill is particularly notable for his Cluster F Bomb rants. An example from Knocked Up:
Jay: Man, my balls are shaved, my pubes are trimmed, I'm ready to fuckin' rock this shit!
Jonah: What the fuck, man? If I go in there and see fuckin' pubes sprinkled on the toilet seat, I'm gonna fuckin' lose my mind! Last time I went to the bathroom, Jay, I took a shit and my shit looked like a fuckin' stuffed animal!
- Friday the 13th: The Final Chapter:
Axel: Jesus Christmas! Holy Jesus goddamn! Holy Jesus jumping Christmas shit!
- The Taking of Pelham 123 has John Travolta's character saying "Motherfucker" seemingly every 5 minutes. Granted, its not as bad as some of the other examples, but its enough to warrant a response of "what the fuck is he doing up there?" due to the simple fact that he does it for no reason. Also, the amount of birds flipped at people that characters either can't see or do not necessarily exist (to the character's knowledge) is excessive.
'Fucking Literature
- Richard fucking Marcinko. The fucking Rogue Warrior books fucking run on fucking cluster fucking F bombs.
- Pick a novel by Stephen King. Any of them. He was criticized enough for it that one aspect of Annie Wilkes (the villain of the novel Misery) was a near-frothing intolerance for bad language in her favorite author's books.
- This is lampshaded in It, where one of the characters makes note of how many times his author friend used the F word in his latest novel.
- Parodied in The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy (Life, The Universe and Everything) where the Rory Award for "The Most Gratuitous Use Of The Word 'Fuck' In A Serious Screenplay" is mentioned.
- In the radio play and the US versions of the book, the award was for most gratuitous use of the word "Belgium", which is apparently an alien swear word.
- Spoofed in The Truth where Mr. Tulip is likely to drop "—-ing" bombs. Yes, he actually pronounces the dashes ("An —-ing werewolf? Are you —-ing kidding me?!"). Terry Pratchett has referred to what it sounds like as "the Englishman's version of the bushman 'click' language". Sacharissa later tries to curse the same way, but leaves out the dashes (she just yells "ing", and proclaims it to be very satisfying).
- Expicitly averted in Lord Of The Rings, where Tolkien explains that evil creatures talk like this all the time, but he cleaned it up:
But Orcs and Trolls spoke as they would, without love of words or things; and their language was actually more degraded and filthy than I have shown it. I do not suppose that any will wish for a closer rendering, though models are easy to find. Much the same sort of talk can still be heard among the orc-minded; dreary and repetitive with hatred and contempt, too long removed from good to retain even verbal vigour, save in the ears of those to whom only the squalid sounds strong.
- Lady Chatterley's Lover was controversial and banned for its use of "fuck" and other words, but unlike the more typical modern Cluster F Bomb, the context is explicit portrayals of characters having sex and talking dirty to each other. Who could have predicted ahead of time that when they decriminalized the ban on using the word "fuck" in literature/media, dirty talk would still be as much of a fringe phenomenon as it was before, while the far more striking trend is the popularization of comics who break the taboos against obscenity just for the hell of it?
- Dave Barry, in the introduction to his novel Tricky Business, repeatedly warns the reader that "THIS BOOK CONTAINS BAD WORDS." This paragraph can be found repeating continually through several of its chapters:
...ROAR VROOM WHAM "FUCK!" "FASTER!" ROAR VROOM WHAM "FUCK!" "FASTER!" ROAR VROOM WHAM "FUCK!" "FASTER!" ROAR VROOM WHAM "FUCK!" "FASTER!" ROAR VROOM WHAM...
- House Of Leaves, anyone? To quote Johnny Truant;
"Fuck. Fuck. Fuck. Fuck you. Fuck me. Fuck this. Fuck. Fuck. Fuck."
- In the book "Lamb" (a comedy about Jesus' best friend), the narrator is resurrected in our time to write his version of the Gospel. He also includes random comments on his bewilderment in the modern world, including a rant on curses, which lampshades this.
"Back home we had maybe half a dozen curse words. Here you can curse the air blue for twenty minutes without repeating yourself..."
- Closing Time, the sequel to Joseph Heller's Catch-22, had this peppery exchange between Milo Minderbinder and the decidedly irreverent Ex-P.F.C. Wintergreen, regarding Yossarian's likely response to their schemes to defraud the United States government:
Milo: He might object. Wintergreen: Then fuck him. Let him object. We'll ignore the fuck again. What the fuck! What the fuck fucking difference does it make if the fuck objects or not! We can ignore the fucking fuck again, can't we? Shit. Milo: I wish, you wouldn't swear so much in the nation's capital.
- In his college novel I Am Charlotte Simmons, Tom Wolfe has a very hilarious discussion of what he calls the "fuck patois", frequently used by college students. It is all very clinical, analysing how the word can be used as adjective, noun, adverb, etc., providing an example for each, and then at the end of this very long list it concludes "And sometimes, it can even refer to copulation! (So, you'll never believe who I fuckin' walked in on fuckin'." The passage itself is very funny in that there is no vitriol behind any of the uses, and were it not for the variants of "fuck" given as examples after every type of word, it could be a regular old discussion of grammar. It is, in a word, AWESOME.
- The last joke in Isaac Asimov's Treasury of Humor is a subversion of this trope. It's about a foul-mouthed soldier telling his friends what the fuck he did while out on the town on a 24-hour pass. He keeps fuckin' talking about the woman he met at a fuckin' bar, he says that they went her fuckin' apartment, the other soldiers ask what happened...
"What do you think happened, you fuckin' jerks? We had sexual intercourse."
- Used liberally in John Dies at the End. In one memorable fuckin' moment, when Dave is being threatened by Robert North...
"No, no. Keep driving," said a soft voice in my ear. "She will not bite if you keep driving."
Fuck that. Fuck that idea like the fucking Captain of the Thai Fuck Team fucking at the fucking Tour de Fuck.
- In The City And The City: "Even though of course those fuckers, those fuckers more than any other fuckers - and we have our share of fuckers."
Close 'Fucking Literature
Live Action 'fucking TV
- Any HBO show (other than Big Love) could be accused of this.
- Deadwood is a particularly strange example, as it features characters using modern obscenities in a setting where "God dammit to Hell" was still shockingly profane. The producers were well aware of this and decided to use anachronistic dialogue anyway, reasoning that historically-accurate dialogue would sound too tame. After all, the real Deadwood was home to many a miner, and they weren't known for their restraint as far as language, so the Cluster F Bombs are accurate... from a certain point of view. In the words of Geoffrey Nunberg: "If you have your characters use historically accurate swearwords, they're apt to sound no more offensive than your grandmother in a mild snit."
- The Wire features a particularly brilliant example: an entire three minutes and thirty seconds of two detectives examining a crime scene, the only words exchanged being variations on the f-word. It kind of has to be seen to be believed. (Definitely NSFW.)
- The best part about that particular scene is that it doesn't even seem out of character for a second.
- A CMOF in that scene has one of them almost say "shit", but it comes out "fuck".
- The show also subverts the trope with the character Omar, who despite being a total badass who walks around in a duster with a shotgun robbing drug dealers, is very conspicuous by being the only character on the show to never use even mild profanity.
- The Sopranos uses that four-letter word regularly, too.
- To the point where a compliation of every instance of "fuck" and "shit" in the show made a 27-minute video
.
- Rome adored this trope. "I FUCK [the goddess] Concord in her FAT ASS!!" "Juno's CUNT!" And so forth.
- 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.
- Amusingly played with in an episode of Curb Your Enthusiasm; 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 cut off by the end credits before he can finish.
- In Dexter (both the print and TV versions), Deb's vocabulary seems excessively foul, even for a cop. And then there was Doakes, whose favorite word was motherfucker, usually used with regards to Dexter
(please note that this video contains spoilers within the last couple minutes for the end of Season 2).
- This troper was amazed to hear CBS was going to run Dexter. They'd have to cut out all of Deb's scenes just to make it acceptable for cable.
- One of the better usages of this was the famous "Gollum acceptance speech" at the MTV Movie Awards
, when Gollum won "Best Virtual Performance" for Lord Of The Rings: The Two Towers. Andy Serkis steps forward to accept, only to have the trophy swiped by Gollum himself, who delivers a beautifully profane rant (including insulting Dobby's sexuality and calling Peter Jackson a "fucking hack") — with his alter ego Smeagol apologizing profusely in between outbursts. Tolkien would've dropped dead of shock. Make sure you're not drinking anything when you click on this.
- Or maybe just disapproved eloquently; see above regarding LotR.
- Appears in The IT Crowd, when Jen loudly (and with much use of the Profanity Buzzer) tells a visiting Japanese delegate exactly what she thinks of him after he steps on her foot with heavy Doc Martens boots on. As the delegate cannot speak English, it's helpfully translated for him by the interpreter.
- On Friends, Phoebe, the resident ditz had bought Chandler and Monica a Ms. Pac Man machine as a wedding gift. Chandler proceeds to own the shit out of it, replacing every highscore with dirty words that spelled longer dirtier words if you read them from top to bottom to boot. Monica gets very upset, considering her nephew Ben is coming to visit. Phoebe, who was the previous highscore keeper, goes on to attempt to defeat the scores to clear the scoreboard. She nearly gets there... and loses right as Ross and Ben come trough the door. Phoebe starts a cascade of swearing, but we don't get to hear it - Beethoven's Ninth plays over it.
- The internet/TV series 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.
- Penn And Teller Bullshit uses this profusely. As they explain in the first episode, "Your statement is a lie" is grounds for slander charges; "Your statement is bullshit", not so much. The "Profanity" episode plays with this - while the guests do a lot of swearing (the subject being censorship of language), Penn himself doesn't use any foul language for the duration of the episode.
- 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 Cluster F Bombs — during a Sunday afternoon in a major network.
- Gordon Ramsey's Kitchen Nightmares 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.
- And the Television Without Pity
reviews of the show have the "bleep-o-fucking-meter" to keep count. I believe the high for a single episode was around 50.
- Only 50? A double length episode in the UK got Channel 4 a wristslap
from Ofcom, as whilst the watershed is 9 O'clock, that doesn't mean you can have 115 examples of "the most offensive language" in the first 40 minutes of a show starting at 9pm, it's supposed to be a bit more gradual than that.
- Slings And Arrows has moments of this, notably when stage manager Maria delivers a drunken, profanity-ridden rant about actors (ending "Well, fuck you all! Fuck off, you fuckers!")
- French comedic trio "Les Inconnus" ruthlessly parodies this trope (and American action movie trailers in general) in a sketch titled Fuck You -- The Movie
. The humor comes mainly from the French subtitles, which considerably downplay the swearing (until the final gag, which is plain untranslatable).
- A version of this trope appeared in The Young Ones...
Vyvyan: NO! NO! NO! WE ARE NOT WATCHING THE BLOODY GOOD LIFE! BLODDY! BLOODY! BLOODY! I hate it it's so BLOODY nice! Felicity TRECLE Kendal and Richard SUGAR-FLAVOURED-SNOB Briers! What are they doing now? Chocolate BLOODY button ads, that's what! They're nothing but a couple of reactionary stereotype confirming that everyone in Britain is lovable middle-class eccentric and I HATE THEM!
That was a highly articulate outburst, considering it's Vyvyan
- The Adam & Joe Show New Sic*: "He was heard to say 'Fuck you, fuck this, fuck fucker'".
- In a House DVD bonus
, a random scene was reshot, with Cameron and Cuddy managing to curse about 30 times in a little more than one minute. When you remind yourself of how the characters behave in the show, this is pure gold.
- Battlestar Frakking Galactica.
- The Supernatural episode "Ghostfacers", filmed documentary style, took the opportunity to heavily abuse ability to bleep out swears, implying that if the show were on a different network or standards weren't so rigid, the brothers would have quite the foul mouths. At least, that's how the fanfic writers chose to interpret it...
- The Thick Of It had a swearing consultant. Peter Capaldi's character Malcolm Tucker is the most famous example, but all the characters drop Cluster F Bombs continually.
- Still, as far as concise profanity goes, nothing beats Tucker's Law: "If some cunt can fuck something up, that cunt will pick the worst possible time to fucking fuck up, because that cunt's a cunt."

'Fucking Music
- Insane Clown Posse's "Fuck the World" holds the record of expletives, with 93 F-Words in 3:43 minutes. It declares this fact near the end: "Don't bother tryin' to analyze these rhymes / In this song I say 'Fuck' 93 times!"
- Limp Bizkit's "Hot Dog" uses the F-word 48 times. It even lampshades: "If I say "Fuck", two more times, That's forty six 'Fucks' in this fucked up rhyme".
- Eamon's 2004 track "F**k It (I Don't Want You Back)" holds the UK record of most expletives in a #1 song, with 33, 20 starting with F. Frankee, who alleged to be Eamon's girlfriend (he denied it
), made a answer song titled "F.U.R.B. (F**k You Right Back)", which contains 22 expletives (18 with F).
- The UK chart record for most expletives in a Top 40 song is "The Man Don't Give A Fuck" by Welsh space rock band Super Furry Animals, with 50 uses of the F-word in its 5 minute running time. Also, the live, 18 minute version contains over 100 F-words. Oh, and all the swears are from a line of a song by Steely Dan repeated over and over and over and over and...
- The British band Muse rarely uses profanities in their lyrics. But during their live-in-the-studio appearance on Spain's Radio 3, they were told that their songs couldn't contain any swearing. In response, Matt Bellamy replaced the second verse of the single "Feeling Good" with the lyrics: "Fucking, fucking, fucking, fucking little fucking, fucking little fucking, fucking fucker, yeah." They've been banned from Radio 3 ever since.
- Don't forget this
hidden track, which is often referred to as 'Fucking Motherfucker' by fans.
- Eric Idle (of Monty Python fame) had the "FCC Song", where he expresses his anger towards the titular agency by using the word "fuck" fourteen times. It's also commonly referred to as the "Fuck the FCC" or "Fuck You Very Much, FCC" song.
- The Python guys also beautifully subverted this trope with the song, I bet you they won't play this song on the radio where all the naughty bits are bleeped out, possibly making the song dirtier than if they were actually cussing.
- From 1982 through 1995, Kiss frontman Paul Stanley's between-song speeches were often peppered with gratuitous uses of the F-word, among other profanities. The cursing disappeared with the 1996 reunion of the original band, and a return to a more "family-friendly" image. Example here
- The fact that "Fatboy Slim is Fucking in Heaven" surely deserves a mention (from the album You've Come a Long Way, Baby). According to The Other Wiki, it uses the loop 108 times.
- The band Splatpattern would be completely unknown if not for their song Fucking Fucking Fuck, which can be found on the iTunes store, along with a censored version. This troper is at a loss as to why they even bothered with the censored version.
- Eminem, and anything he's ever done.
- During Woodstock, Country Joe and the Fish got the crowd of 500,000 to sing along to a song that starts with, "Give me a F! Give me a U! Give me a C! Give me a K! What's that spell?!".
- Though "fuck" only being included 33 times makes it comparatively tame, "America Fuck Yeah" deserves a spot here out of sheer American jingoism. The first lines being "America - FUCK YEAH! Coming again to save the motherfucking day yeah!" should be enough.
- Canadian comedy duo Bowser & Blue have a song called "Use Of The F Word In Canada", where they logically go through every grammatical and tonal use of the word ("the imperative", "the reflexive", "the ominous"), and also note that fuck isn't a bad word in Canada — "it's not even a word; it's simply a form of verbal puntuation".
- However, Canada does have standards - Australian comedian Kevin Bloody Wilson released a song called "You can't say cunt in Canada".
- As is implied in the mention of The Proposition above, Nick Cave has occasionally lapsed into these. Since it's him, though, it's more scary than humorous.
- Nick Cave: "I'll fuck Billy Dilly in his motherfucking ass"
- "So What" by the Anti-Nowhere League, a British punk band (it was also covered by Metallica on Garage Inc.). The song is based on the band members listening to two men in a bar going back and forth about things they've done in their life, each trying to top the other in vulgarity & audacity. It's a pretty safe bet that this song probably didn't see much radio play.
- Metallica played this song, together with Last Caress, during the 1996 MTV European Music Awards. And it was awesome.
- Rage Against the Machine ends the song "Killing in the Name" by repeatedly chanting "Fuck you, I won't do what you tell me!"
- Famously (or infamously), the uncensored version of "Killing in the Name" was played on BBC Radio 1's UK Top 40 chart show on a Sunday afternoon, leading to over 150 complaints.
- Reel Big Fish's "Another F-U Song": 'Fuck living, fuck dying, fuck laughing, fuck crying, fuck this song, but mostly fuck you. Fuck loving and friends, fuck following trends, fuck this song, can't wait till it ends'.
- "Fuck everything! (but fuck you the most.) Fuck everyone! (But fuck you the most.) With a big rusty pole or a splintery post, yeah, fuck you the most. Fuck you!" The best part of this song being that it's entirely upbeat and cheerful.
- How can we forget The Sex Pistols? 'Fuuuuck this and fuck that. Fuck it all and fuck the fucking brat'.
- The Buzzcocks "Oh Shit!", which ends 'Admit, you're shit, you're shit, you're shit. Admit, admit, you're shit, you're shit, you're shit, you're shit, you're shit'. But only one 'fuck' in the whole song.
- While no longer holding any records, it is amusing to note NWA's "Fuck tha Police" is 12.1% profanity with a solid 42 seconds of the song being unplayable on the radio.
- We simply cannot go without mentioning Wednesday 13 / The Frankenstein Drag Queens From Planet 13 / Murderdolls's "I Love to Say Fuck!"
. There's nothing quite like being in a live crowd all singing along.
- The track "X-plicit" on the Evangelion: VOX album. Apparently, it's supposed to represent someone's reaction to that scene where Shinji masturbates over Asuka's comatose body.
- Many rock band concerts are loaded with this. For example, a recent concert by Motley Crue had singer Vince Neil mention, after a pre-adolescent was brought up on the stage, that he doesn't let his children say "fuck", after which he says to the child's parents (still in the audience), "I'm fucking sorry about that."
- The song "K@#0%!" by Korn has roughly 10 seconds of radio-friendly audio. The rest of the song is a string of nearly any obscenity one can imagine.
- Their song "Y'All Want a Single" (a protest against the music industry) has 87 instances of the F-word. The chorus goes "Y'all want a single say fuck that, Fuck that, Fuck that!" three times.
- The London Underground Song.
- A pearl of wisdom coming from a Brazilian funk song: "The fucking cunt is mine and I can fuck whoever I want with it!"
- Black Sheep's "For Doz Dat Slept" applies this trope to baroque.
- Evidently Chickentown
by John Cooper Clarke. Just one of the verses: The fucking pies are fucking old/The fucking chips are fucking cold/The fucking beer is fucking flat/The fucking flats have fucking rats/The fucking clocks are fucking wrong/The fucking days are fucking long/It fucking gets you fucking down/Evidently chicken town.
- Sons Of Buchter's song aptly named "Fuck The Shit" has a total of 6 words, repeated through most of the song. Fuck, shit, fucking, shitting, the, and yeah.
- Fuck You, by Norther is an obvious example.
- I'm On A Boat by The Lonely Island. "Fuck land, I'm on a boat, motherfucker"
- Anything by DJ Felamanski, but most notably "Fuck That Bitch". (That's pretty much the entire lyrics.)
- Somewhat subverted by Ozzy Osbourne. Those who were introduced to him through The Osbournes would assume that his music was laden with swearing (given that Ozzy and his entire fucking family swear their asses off. I wouldn't be surprised if the barking dogs were swearing in doggy language.) However, his music is practically devoid of "fuck". Only two songs with the word come to mind. However, his stage banter makes up for the loss, with concerts often beginning with his yells of "I CAN'T FUCKING HEAR YOU!".
- Slipknot's first two albums were rife with F bombs and other profanities. However, Vol. 3 The Subliminal Verses doesn't have any swearing stronger than "Jesus", and All Hope Is Gone only has a handful of F bombs, just enough to earn a Parental Advisory label.
- "Hollaback Girl" by Gwen Stefani has 38 shits in 200 seconds: "this my shit" in the first verse, a "talking shit" in the second, four "shit is bananas" in the fourth, and eight "this my shit" in each of four choruses.
- "Stupid MF" by Mindless Self Indulgence.

- Professional Wrestler Scott Steiner in WCW regularly went off script and also frequently indulged in gratuitous profanity. On at least one occasion, the censors gave up on trying to bleep out the swear words, and just turned the bleeper on until Steiner stopped talking.

- The Firesign Theatre troupe has a very tongue-in-cheek skit on one of their albums describing the "F word" and its various grammatical uses in English. It includes a number of hilarious examples, including "Fuck the fucking fuckers" and "Why don't you go outside and play hide-and-go-fuck-yourself?".
- Jerry Springer The Opera, anyone?
- Fucking what? Fucking Jerry fucking Springer fucking opera? Fuck, that's fucked up.
- Most of David Mamet's plays are guaranteed to used the words "asshole," "jagoff," "faggot," "cunt," "shit," and, of course, "fuck" at least once.
- The end lines of Lucy's Aria from Threepenny Opera are generally translated quite liberally from the original German and end up being a long line of curses.
Lucy: Ich rette ihm das Leben, und diese Person soll den Rahm abschöpfen?' Wenn ich dieses Mensch vergifte, dann kann die Welt aufatmen.''
- ? That's no curse in German.
- Bottom Live, took profanity to every major British theatre:
Richie: Eddie, we are not saying "fuck" this year... oh, FUCK! Eddie: Can we say "Cunt"? Richie: Very much not... Eddie: Right! CUUUUUUUUNNNNNNNNNT!
- And on two other occasions:

Video 'fucking Games
- House Of The Dead: Overkill have a character who use this every sentence (and opened the game with such line). Ironically when someone is actually a literal Motherfucker he doesn't use it.
- The game is placed on the front because it is the first game ever to win a Guinness World Record in video games for this trope[1]
. The final F-bomb count? 189.
- Fucking Kingpin. Fucking Kingpin. The game was just as excuse to use fuck as many times as fucking possible.
- This
(very NSFW, but hilarious) dubbing of a modded Super Mario level may qualify, as the "soundtrack" was added after the fact. Then again, video games tend to induce heavy swearing, so it may be justified. In addition to the Cluster F Bomb, the game gets compared unfavourably to Family Guy, Panic at the Disco, Ann Coulter, and reading YouTube comments.
- Company Of Heroes: Opposing Fronts features much more swearing than the original game. The British say "wanker" a lot, and the Germans use such colourful expressions as "Leck mich im Arsch" (also the title of a composition by Mozart
which your school music teacher probably didn't teach you) and "Hurensöhne".
- Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas was the first GTA game to make use of F-bombs, and dropped them at every available opportunity. One gaming magazine retrospective complained that it made the characters sound less like bad ass gangstas and more like twelve-year-olds out of adult earshot.
- Though the F-word is notably absent, both Cid and Barret from Final Fantasy VII deserve a mention, especially Cid. One of his first scenes contains the memorable line "SIT DOWN AND DRINK YOUR GODDAMN TEA!" and his reaction to seeing the apparently M.C. Escher inspired Temple of the Ancients is, "Shit! Shit! Shit!"
- Considering the game is T, and it uses profanity of varing degrees VERY liberally, it should be in a trope of its own. Most notably, it seems that Barrett drops the F-Bomb every ten minutes, and its BLEEPED OUT WITH RANDOM SYLLABLES!
- "Fuck you, Kazuma," is pretty much Yakuza's catch phrase.
- In The Longest Journey there is a character named "The Flipper" who averages 2-3 swear words per sentence, even introducing himself as "The Fucking Flipper" at one point.
- Try to play a multiplayer game of Mario Kart DS or Mario Kart Wii for at least one full round without swearing.
- For this troper, the most common thing said during Super Smash Bros Brawl sessions is "Goddamn it!"
- Especially if they're someone who thinks it's high-larious to trap you and beat the crap out of you with the fan. Just the fan... *eye-tic*
- Play N on any level past 30 and don't swear once. Come on. I dare you.
- Parodied in the "Meet the Demoman" trailer for Team Fortress 2, where the Demoman mutters drunkenly about his problems, and a long section is beeped out.
- The multiplayer announcer in Kane And Lynch has a tendency to drop these, especially by by spamming "fucking traitor, make him pay" after every "friendly"-fire kill, which happen often in the game.
- Both Max Payne games feature a mob boss named Vinnie Gognitti. His life seems to be powered by this trope.
- The game Metal Arms: A Glitch in the System has a character named Krunk, a robot who looks like a potbellied war vet, and because all the characters are robots, has a censor bleep. For example, "Of course I f***ing fixed him. It was a huge pain in the f***ing wastepan, 'cuz he's some kind of custom jobbie!" He's also playable for one level, and curses whenever you're shot or if you die.

- The first words in the Wii game No More Heroes are by the main character, yelling "Fuck heads!" You can expect more of the same during the rest of the game.
- The Wii game Mad World is fucking full of f-bombs, but it's a fucking awesome game so fuck you.

- The Angry Video Game Nerd. The guy who plays and invented him, James Rolfe, says this was because the first game he reviewed (Castlevania 2) was really hard. He doesn't just swear a lot, he invents compound swears for games he really hates (which is even refenced in his extended theme song: "He's the angriest, most pissed off gaming nerd / The games suck so bad he makes up his own words"). He also tends to use them strangely, in coinages like "this game is ass", or this troper's personal favorite, "it sucks monkey fuck". In one episode, he apologizes for being excessively foul after coining the portmanteau "shizz" (think about it) to describe his hatred of a game.
- The above is parodied on Something Awful's Flash Tub section, in a series of shorts entitled Furious Famicom Faggot. The first episode in particular has an excellent example of a Cluster F Bomb.
- In one episode of AVGN, Rolfe finds out that the Konami Laserscope's sound recognition hardware can be activated by saying words other than "fire." You know what happens next.
- The one time the AVGN didn't swear at all was in a Christmas-themed crossover with Captain S, a squeaky-clean Sega-themed parody of Captain N The Game Master. As difficult as it can be getting used to listening to the Nerd drop shitfucks and fuckshits like there's no tomorrow, it's downright painful listening to the neutered Nerd uttering sentence after sentence nary a single fuckin' fuck. (It makes the gag at the end all the more hilarious, though.)
- Also one of the notable creations of James Rolfe is a Crystal Dragon Jesus named Super Mecha Death Christ 2000 (B.C. ver. 4.0 beta, bitch!), who mostly uses just one word... "FUCKERS!!!". The first episode he was featured, he shot the Nerd for uttering "Holy shit!" and responded with "WATCH YOUR FUCKING LANGUAGE!!!"
- The Final Battle with AVGN and the Nostalgia Critic has a lengthy swear duel consisting mainly of various uses of "fuck" after the Nerd kicks the Critic into a spontaneously-appearing pile of cardboard boxes, ending with the Nerd saying "Jerk!".
- And in part 3 of his CD-I review, he spews out LITERAL F Bombs.
- While somewhat outddone by his rival (the fuckin' Nerd) The Nostalgia Critic is no joke either.Case in point

- In Survival Of The Fittest version one, Adam Dodd is as famous for this as Jacob Starr is for having too much iron in his blood. There are others, but nobody has quite reached his level of profanity.

- South Park does it purely for laughs, primarily because the characters doing the curses are third-graders. One episode left "the s word" uncensored and featured a counter for how many times it was said. It ended at 162. Oh, and don't forget the movie, which at the time set a record for number of swear words.
- Probably a great deal more if you count all the times it's shown on screen on T-shirts, hats, newspapers...
- Virtually every sentence uttered by Kenny contains the word fuck. Of course his speech is muffled so that the only word you don't have trouble understanding is fuck.
- "What's the big deal? It doesn't hurt anybody! Fuck Fuckity Fuckfuckfuck!"
- And let's not forget Terrance and Phillip's song from the movie: "Shut Your Fucking Face, Uncle Fucker."
- Surprisingly enough, that was Getting Crap Past The Radar — it was originally "Shut your fucking face, mother fucker", but that would've pushed it over to NC-17. Luckily, Matt and Trey thought that "Uncle fucker" was funnier.
- The movie is also that rarest of beasts in that there's actually a point to the cluster bombing (that the world's problems will never be solved by overzealous censoring).
- The animated Spawn movie rarely let a sentence go by without using the F-bomb, regardless of whether it made sense or not.
- Depending on who is talking on The Boondocks this can happen, ironically enough by the white people on the show more that the black people (even though the two white people who do so are voiced by Charlie Murphy and Sam Motherfuckin' Jackson himself).
- Also, the rare Cluster S Bomb was done by Tom Dubois, of all people.
- The Oblongs: "How could I have been such a fiddly faddly fool!? Excuse the string of F-words. Subverted, of course.
- A gag on Bromwell High had one of the main characters doing a piece on the sitar for the school's music night. The girl then goes to her friends for commentaries. One of them pulls out an S Bomb, so to speak.
Natella: Well? What did you think? Give me your honest opinion. Keisha: You were shit. Shitter than shit. You were so shit that it made me want to block up my ears with shit, then eat some shit, and then do a shit. Natella: Right. Latrina? Latrina: ... Shit.

This Troper lost count at 35 f-bombs.
- The eulogy that John Cleese delivered for Graham Chapman is a wonderful example of this. The best quote: "Alright, Cleese, you're very proud of being the first person to ever say 'shit' on British television. If this service is really for me, just for starters, I want you to be the first person ever at a British memorial service to say 'fuck'!" The audience, which included the rest of the Pythons, was suitably delighted. The service ended with a rousing chorus of "Always Look on the Bright Side of Life". Video here.
- After the infamous "tuck rule game" (an American Football playoff game decided by a particularly obscure rule), the losing Oakland Raiders were understandably put out. Analysts described the Oakland press conference afterwords as "the Raiders sounded like a truck backing up" (in the US at least, large trucks make loud beeping noises when in reverse).
- Frequently used by comedians, especially Louis CK who is practically a god of obscenity.
- The founder of the Parti Quebecois, Rene Levesque, is famed among other things for being the first person to utter the word "fuck" on television in Canada, as noted by Bowser and Blue in their aforementioned song. "C'était foké."
- Please note that "fuck" in Quebec French is a mild Expletive and an Anglicism. The direct equivalent is... Just pick any of them

EJ??What the *** is that???
Stupid *** name stupid *** whore.

- EGM once noted that, in person, John Madden seems to say "fuck" every other word, and his most impressive power is the ability to stop doing this when he goes on-air. This make explain his sometimes redundant speaking style; he's concentrating too hard on not cussing to say anything informative.
- An amusing now-PG version is recorded in a letter to Abraham Lincoln from a slavery proponent:
God damn your god damned old hellfired god damned soul to hell god damn you and goddam your god damned family's god damned hellfired god damned soul to hell and good damnation god damn them and god damn your god damned friends to hell.
- Not used by Richard Nixon. Contrary to popular belief, most of the "expletives deleted" were apparently
"hell" and "damn", and at the worst "shit".
- Former US Congressman and White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel is notorious for this.
Actual quote to somebody on the phone: "If you fuck this up I will fuck you, I will kill you. All right, I love you. Bye."
