* ''[[The Suite Life onOn Deck]]'' episode "Snakes on a Boat" gives us a particularly funny one from Moseby (although you can't hear him over the boat horns. This is a kids show, after all.)
** I'VE HAD ENOUGH OF THESE (honk) SNAKES ON MY (honk) BOAT!!!!!!
* Any HBO show (other than ''[[Big Love]]'') could be accused of this.
Line 28:
** '''Deb''': I could give a fuck who you fuck. Just don't fuck with my investigation, you fuck!
* One of the better usages of this was the famous [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cuUGdXGhurQ&feature=related "Gollum acceptance speech" at the MTV Movie Awards], when Gollum won "Best Virtual Performance" for ''[[The 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 [[Harry Potter|Dobby]]'s sexuality and calling Peter Jackson a "fucking hack") -- with his [[Jekyll and Hyde|alter ego]] Smeagol apologizing profusely in between outbursts and Serkis looking aghast. 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 the ''[[The Lord of the Rings]]'' example from the Literature Page.
* Appears in ''[[The IT Crowd]]'', when Jen loudly (and with much use of the [[Sound Effect Bleep|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.
** Made even funnier afterwards when Jen's boss lets one loose of his own, but his assistant gets to the buzzer a little too late.
Line 34:
* 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.
* ''[[Cutey Honey the Live]]'' 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..."'''''[[Surprisingly Good English|SHIT!!!]]'''''"
* ''[[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 f***ing Ramsay'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.
