Cluster F-Bomb/Western Animation

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


Examples of Cluster F-Bombs in Western Animation include:

  • 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.
    • Not to mention the magnificent Cluster Bitch Bomb that is "Kyle's Mom is a Big Fat Bitch (In D Minor)" (which is actually in a major key).
      • 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).
  • 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.

  • On Drawn Together, the characters toast to freedom of speech ("Fuck yeah!" "It's the shit!"). Captain Hero then rips off his pants and says "I wanna to fuck the head off a fucking pig and then rip its fucking guts out and then fuck its fuck fuckity fuck fuck fuck fuck fucky fuck fuck fuck fuck..."
  • Aqua Teen Hunger Force gives us pregnant Meatwad.
    • For an example not from a main character, there's the creepy one-shot appearance by Glenn Danzig, who bought Carl's house when it was filling up with elf blood. While interrogating Shake as to where the Cybernetic Ghost of Christmas Past from the Future is...

Danzig: Now...listen to me as hard as you f--king can. The f--king robot came with the f--king house and now it's f--king gone!

  • There was an episode of Dexter's Laboratory, "Rude Removal", in which Dexter accidentally made evil twins of himself and DeeDee. This episode has only been shown at panels at animation conventions because of all the rude language that ensues.
  • Animaniacs of all things had a moment where girly Dot burst into a string of (bleeped of course) profanities upon messing up her introduction one too many times. Yakko proudly says, "That's my cute little sister who said that. Good night, everybody!"
  • Tiny Toon Adventures had a character named Foulmouth who frequently go into Cluster (Bleep) Bombs whenever enraged (which was pretty much constantly).
  • The episode "Sailor Mouth" of SpongeBob SquarePants. Sure, it was bleeped by dolphin noises, but it's obvious "fuck" was the intended word since it fit so neatly into their sentences. The episode was pretty much a parody of this - why else would Patrick refer to the words as "sentence enhancers"?
    • Actually, someone who worked for Nick actually said what they said was really "phony."
    • At the end of "Krusty Love", SpongeBob lets out a stream of...gibberish that is obviously intended to be interpreted as cursing.

Mrs. Puff: I had no idea Spongebob had such a colourful vocabulary!
Mr. Krabs: ... (Gaping in shocked silence with his jaw on the ground)

  • In the movie Tarzoon: Shame of the Jungle, the character Brutish uses the word in nearly all his sentences even as he's been eaten alive and dying in his final breath he says " the goddamn fucking insects in the goddamn fucking swamp, in the goddamn fucking sun, in the goddamn fucking rain".
  • In the Duckman episode "Forbidden Fruit", Fluffy and Uranus cut loose with one of these after Duckman finally manages to drive them over the edge by staying at/destroying their house.
  • Cher does this (and says a lot of, um, other stuff) to Jay Sherman in an episode of The Critic.
  • The Powerpuff Girls episode "Curses" has the girls overhearing a profanity uttered by the Professor. Not knowing it was a vulgarity, the girls think it's neat and spend the episode repeating it, much to the shock of the citizens and their teacher.
  • Lana does this in Archer when she sticks her hand in dry ice, thinking that it was regular ice.
  • The Hungarian dub of King of the Hill took a quite... realistic approach with its dialog, in that the characters talk like real-life people would, with all the swear words you might expect. Episodes that don't have at least half a dozen uncensored, clearly audible cuss words are rare. Hank's voice actor especially likes to stress his "fuck"s, "dick"s and "cunt"s, while there is usually a "fuck" hidden in just about everything Boomhauer says.
  • Used occasionally on Robot Chicken. For instance, when Dick Cheney steals Tony Stark's original Iron Man prototype, he adopts "go fuck yourself' as a catch phrase.
    • Palpatine in the Star Wars specials seems to adopt this. Then again, seeing how the same specials also depict Palpatine as a potty mouth, it isn't surprising.
  • Attempted by Phineas of Phineas and Ferb, though with his innocence it doesn't quite go as planned;

Phineas: We'll build the best dang carwash in the whole dang world, dangit!...I can't really pull that off, can I?
Ferb: You're not very street.

  • Family Guy rarely has major swearing but after the series was revived, there has been a good amount of cursing by everyone in the show and just as much in the Star Wars spoofs.
