**** A [[Crowning Moment of Funny|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 [[Fully-Automatic Clip Show|compilation]] of every instance of "fuck" and "shit" in the show made a [http://victorsolomon.com/get-weird/sopranos-uncensored/ 27-minute video].
*** And to the point that the punchline of one ''[[Mad TV]]'' skit about [[The Sopranos]] is a Cluster Cut-Off-Swear Bomb.
Line 29:
* 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 ''[[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.
* On ''[[Friends]]'', Phoebe, the resident [[The Ditz|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, [[Curse Cut Short|but we don't get to hear it]] -- [[Ludwig Van Beethoven|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.
* ''[[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!!!]]'''''"
Line 60:
*** This carries over to [[The Movie]], ''[[In the Loop]]'', from a telephone conversation that ends "fuckity-bye" to the brilliant:
{{quote|'''Malcolm:''' You are a boring ''fuck''! Oh, I'm sorry, I know you disapprove of swearing, so let's sort that out: You are a boring eff-star-star-{{spoiler|cunt}}."}}
* Red Forman from ''[[That '70s Show]]'' used this when he is convinced to take in Hyde when his mother leaves. Doing a good deed made him very unhappy.
** Variation: Fez ''really'' likes to drop the "son of a BITCH" phrase whenever he can.
{{quote|'''Fez''' (during Trick Or Treat): An apple?! WHERE'S MY CANDY, YOU SON OF A BITCH?!}}
Line 92:
* NZ dramedy series [[Outrageous Fortune]]. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1dqTrUpmwPg Especially if this one episode is anything to go by].
* On the Season 4 premiere of ''[[The Amazing Race]]'', Amanda suffered a severe case of road rage on the way to the airport, and started cursing out all the other teams. Made funnier by the fact that she was small and cutesy, and looked like a total [[Gosh Dang It to Heck]] type during the team introductions.
* ''[[Skins]]'' everywhere always. It's safe to say it's one of the most commonly used words in the entire show.
** Also used for a [[Crowning Moment of Awesome]] in series four: "I'm Katie Fucking Fitch, who the fuck are you?"
* ''[[The River]]'' uses this with a [[Sound Effect Bleep]] so whole speeches are bleeped out.
* ''[[The Vicar of Dibley]]'' had David Horton drop one [[Discretion Shot|off-screen]] when his son Hugo told him he was in love with [[Dumb Blonde|Alice Tinker]]. When Hugo relayed the story to the vicar, it resulted in this exchange:
