[[File:cfb.jpg|link=Penny Arcade|frame|If you were to read the [http://penny-arcade.com/comic/2004/01/16 previous few frames,] you'd know that this is [[The Scottish Trope]] being violated.]]
{{quote|'''Rocco:''' Fuckin'... what the fuckin' fuck.. who the fuck... fuck this fuckin'... how did you two fuckin' fucks... ''fuck!''
'''Connor:''' Well, that certainly illustrates the diversity of the word.|''[[The Boondock Saints]]''}}
Line 42:
* The dub of ''[[Black Lagoon]]'', as evident [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DKwaPSkjXp0 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. [[Gratuitous English|The swear words were even in English]]. The other characters cuss their fair share, but Revy herself is by far the [[Sir Swearsalot|most foul-mouthed of all the characters]] on the show.
** And even Revy peaks in a moment where she drops over half a dozen F-bombs in about thirty seconds:
{{quote|
'''Rock''': ...are you mad?
'''Revy''': NOT EVEN CLOSE! I'm fucking ''pissed''! Anyone but you, this would've been a bloodbath! }}
* Agito in ''[[Air Gear]]'' commonly uses the F bomb, even making it his catchphrase.
Line 52:
** The scene is even funnier in ''[[Super Robot Wars W]]'', as Sōsuke is doing it while in [[The Unintelligible|Bonta-Kun]], with Kaname ''translating'', cursing and all.
** Also, from the dub of ''The Second Raid'':
{{quote|
* 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!
** [[Roswell That Ends Well|Tony the alien]] says "FUCKING" in each one of his brief appearances. "FUCKING LIMEY! I'LL KILL YOU FUCKING LIMEY!" "YOUR FUCKING FAULT."
Line 63:
* [[Eagle Land|This is a general trait applied to American characters in anime.]] A key example is Commodore Joy Valentine from the ''[[Samurai Champloo]]'' episode "Baseball Blues". His second line, accompanied with the middle finger, is, in [[Surprisingly Good English]], "Fuck them!", and it doesn't get much better.
* Most [[Incredibly Lame Pun|fucking]] Hentai dubs.
{{quote|
* The Hungarian dub of [[Soul Eater]] has quite a few instances. Keep in mind that a [[Cluster F-Bomb]] in Hungarian has the potential to make even the most filthy mouthed drunken sailor run for cover.
* This was parodied in the dub of episode 18 of [[Keroro Gunsou]], with Keroro using a language switch to force Natsumi to speak in [[Sound Effect Bleep|(censored)]] cluster F bombs.
Line 100:
*** [[My Immortal]] even ''renames a character'' "Fuck".
* ''[[I'm a Marvel And I'm a DC]]'' second season ''Happy Hour'' has the Green Goblin drop one in the 4th episode after the Joker hits his crush, Harley Quinn:
{{quote|
* When Yami is tricked into going out with Téa in ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh!: The Abridged Series|Yu-Gi-Oh! The Abridged Series]]'', he lets out a rant that is almost entirely composed of [[Sound Effect Bleep|Sound Effect Bleeps]].
** "And then you'll have to BLEEP sideways!"
Line 106:
* The third episode of Jojo's Bizarre Adventure Abridged has a flashback to the time [[Badass Grandpa|Joseph]] "kamikaze'd an immortal god into an active volcano", which consists entirely of him screaming "fuck" whilst being inundated with piranhas and octopi... in a biplane.
* In [[Twilight Valley]], pretty much everyone utters at least one profanity. The most outrageous would have to be:
{{quote|
"You bastards! I hope when Littlefoot, Deimos and his friends rescue me, they kill you first! And I?ll have your fu?" - said by Chomper. Yes, he nearly drops the F-bomb before [[Curse Cut Short|he gets kicked in the ribs]]<br />
"You are all assholes! I hope Deimos finds you and rips out your internal organs! And you Ms. Maia, I hope that you get captured and taken to be sentenced by the Great Valley elders; I?ll enjoy seeing your carcass hanging from a tree or lying broken on the outskirts of the Great Valley." - Chomper, again. }}
Line 112:
* The [[Mass Effect]] [[Self Insert]] ''[[Troper Works/Mass Vexations|Mass Vexations]]'' has a protagonist who likes to swear a lot. He doesn't really go to town until {{spoiler|he survives Virmire}}, though. Or until Wrex makes him lose {{spoiler|[[Schmuck Bait|The Game]]}}.
** His [[Wham! Line]] uses three f-bombs in the course of the same sentence.
{{quote|
* Lina Eastwood from ''[[Pretty Cure Hollywood Stars]]'' is infamous for this; every single episode has her saying the F word at least once, and the one that doesn't (18) makes up for it by having her say it in the next episode preview.
* Vegtia lets loose a volley of profanity that is beeped out by Jeice's scouter in Ep 19 of [[Dragon Ball Abridged|DragonBallAbridged]], though at the end of the episode {{spoiler|it's revealed to be a tame outburst with not a single F-Bomb}}.
Line 119:
* All of the four in ''[[With Strings Attached]]'' use “fuck,” but John uses it more frequently than the others, and when he's pissed every other word, seemingly, is the F-bomb.
* In [[Naruto Veangance Revelaitons]], this happens ''very'' often, especially in the author's notes.
{{quote|
* Sidonis in ''[[Mass Effect: Interregnum|Mass Effect Interregnum]]'' loooves him some cursing, in [[Red Oni, Blue Oni|stark contrast]] to [[Deadpan Snarker|Garrus]].
Line 143:
** Indeed, Mamet uses this trope so frequently and gratuitously that Roger Ebert's ''Little Movie Glossary'' named it "Mamet Dammit."
* ''[[Bottom]]'' Live, took profanity to every major British theatre:
{{quote|
'''Eddie:''' Can we say "Cunt"?
'''Richie:''' Very much not...
'''Eddie:''' Right! CUUUUUUUUNNNNNNNNNT! }}
* Niel Simon seems to have an arbitrary love of curse words. He uses them liberally, and, to give one example, in his play "Rumors" he actually used the variation "Fuck-a-diddly doo!"
Line 151:
* Don't expect to come out of a [[Martin McDonagh]] play without an earful of this. Although it'll usually be the Irish slang varient "feck."
* The musical Title of Show has one of these:
{{quote|
** It is then lampshaded:
'''Jeff:''' Wow, what's with all the foul language? Is that appropriate or even necessary? }}
Line 158:
* Frequently used by comedians, especially Louis CK who is practically a god of obscenity.
* The German comedian [[Michael Mittermeier]] parodied this in ''Zapped!''. According to him, this is the way people speak in [[Big Applesauce|New York City]]: They use "fuck" whenever possible.
{{quote|
'''Shop owner:''' Hey man! You wanna fuck me with your fucking order? Fuck you! ''(and so on)'' }}
* [[Rodney Dangerfield]] offered this "impression of a New York echo":
{{quote|
Shut the fuck up! }}
* [[Denis Leary]] is rather fond of this trope, and uses it quite frequently in his routines. His "No Cure For Cancer" tour routine starts off with "Thank you, thank you, thank you, and fuck you!"
Line 205:
* Steve of [[Daisy Owl]] considers this to be [http://daisyowl.com/comic/2009-03-31 "the most important part of moving a futon"].
* An [[Exterminatus Now]] strip has Lothar getting even more sweary than usual after falling off the back of an armoured car.
{{quote|
'''Either Virus or Eastwood:''' You screwed it up! What do we do now?
'''Lothar:''' I just '''FELL OFF''' a moving vehicle and bounced down half a mile of tarmac, but I'm '''FINE, THANKS FOR FUCKING WELL ASKING!''' }}
* [[No Indoor Voice|Yelling Bird]] from ''[[Questionable Content]]''.
Line 216:
* Amazingly, [http://deadwinter.cc/page/345.htm this example] in ''[[Dead Winter]]'' is NOT attributed to [[Badass|Black Monday]] [[Professional Killer|Blues]].
* [http://xkcd.com/110/ This] [[Xkcd]] strip has it in the [[Alt Text]]:
{{quote|
* [http://www.vgcats.com/comics/?strip_id=300 VGCats] did this in the last few panels.
* And before the site revamp at [[Supermegatopia]], a section called "They Might Be Giant Robots",
Line 232:
** 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.
*** A literal case of the [[Precision F-Strike]].
{{quote|
** 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 [[Kung Fu Jesus|Super Mecha Death Christ 2000 (B.C. ver. 4.0 beta,]] [[This Is for Emphasis, Bitch|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 '''"[[Hypocritical Humor|WATCH YOUR FUCKING LANGUAGE]]!!!"'''
Line 239:
** And in Part 3 of the same review, he spews out LITERAL F Bombs.
** Played perfectly straight when he [[Agony of the Feet|drops a TV on his foot]] during his Atari 5200 review.
{{quote|
** He digs deep into the bowels of his fucking HEART to release the [[Atomic F-Bomb|grandmaster of all fucks]] when he finds out he was "born too fuckin' early" in his ''Godzilla'' review.
** This epic rant from his Power Glove review is probably the biggest example of this in the whole series.
{{quote|
* While somewhat outdone by his [[The Rival|rival]] (the fuckin' Nerd) [[The Nostalgia Critic]] is no joke either. [http://thatguywiththeglasses.com/videolinks/thatguywiththeglasses/nostalgia-critic/207-avgn-wizard-rant Case in point].
** And speaking of NC, his latest (at the time of this edit) review of Neverending Story 3. When we get to the Rock Biter.
Line 273:
* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gMUYa44Ulic&feature=channel_page Lampshaded in this example...]
* Internet Radio has no censorship whatsoever. No Holds Barred Radio was one of the pioneers of it and the title is exactly what it is:
{{quote|
"Fuck you, fuck you again and fuck you three more times just because I feel like it!" }}
** and of course
{{quote|
* The web RP ''Insane Cafe 3: The Curse of the Haunted Hotel'' has Deimos, a ''Utahraptor'' with an ''incredibly'' foul mouth. Some of his more profanity laced quotes (almost every one of his quotes has one profanity in it):
{{quote|
"What don't you fucking understand?! Get your fucking asses moving and get some fucking help! Do I fucking make myself clear!?" Deimos shouted. }}
* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QUEO9Mfmn4M Time to fucking rock your shit up and down the block.]
Line 289:
** There's also [[Sonic the Hedgehog 2006 (Let's Play)|the legendary Let's Play Sonic 2006]] where, as the saga progresses, results in massive f-bomb dropping from PokeCapn. Considering [[So Bad It's Horrible/Video Games|the game]] [[Game Breaking Bug|they're playing]], you can't exactly blame them.
*** The playthrough of the same game by TheHelldragon also reaches this level of frustration in [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1L3Ayy444AA#t=7m11s part 13]:
{{quote|
* The [[Newgrounds]] flash "[[Command and Conquer|Tiberium ecstasy]]", where a Nod Commando drops one while stomping his hat after figuring out the squad leader was lost in a drinking contest the night before.
** "MOTHERFUCKINGGODDMANFUCKINGPIECEOFSHIT ARE YOU SERIOUS?!"
Line 296:
* ''[[Cracked.com]]'''s [http://www.cracked.com/video_18179_a-helpful-tutorial-recite-pi-worst-math-game-ever.html Game Helpin' Squad], right at the end.
* Saying the F word was already a [[Verbal Tic]] for Guile in ''[[Street Fighter the Later Years]]''. When he loses to Dhalsim in a sparing match to his Yoga Noogie, he loses it:
{{quote|
* Unf--k the gulf.
* The "Fucking Short Version" compilation of [[The Big Lebowski]], [[From Dusk till Dawn]], or [[Shaun of the Dead]].
Line 308:
* There is a commedy piece that's presented as a gramatic lecture on the word 'Fuck'. It notes it can be used as a verb, noun, or almost any word in a sentence: "Fuck the fucking fuckers!"
* In [[The Dark Id]]'s LP of ''[[Clock Tower (series)|Clock Tower]] 3'', to express frustration at... well, [http://lparchive.org/Clock-Tower-3/Update%2022/ see for yourself.]
{{quote|
* Whether you love him or hate him, much of [[The Amazing Atheist]]'s [[No Such Thing as Bad Publicity|popularity]] and humor comes from his liberal application of this trope, either as his [[YouTube]] persona or as himself. In fact, it's very rare for a fuck- or shit-free video to come from him. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ms5bVC7woT8 An old video of his] takes this to its logical conclusion, in response to the more "prudish" arguments against him (with [[Country Matters]] as the cherry on top):
{{quote|
'''TAA:''' Yeah, uh... fuck-fuck, shit-ass-cunt-motherfuck, dick-sucking motherfuckers, fuckity-fuck-shit-fuck! }}
* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vCWJTC6MJmw This video] from DasBoSchitt. Nearly all of [[Digimon|Renamon's]] vocabulary consists of various swears strung together, the actual phrase she's trying to say in subtitles for the viewer's benefit. Except for the time when she actually ''is'' swearing ("Limp-dick fag fucker!", indeed).
Line 329:
* ''[[The Oblongs]]'': "How could I have been such a f{{spoiler|iddly}} f{{spoiler|addly}} f{{spoiler|ool}}!? Excuse the string of F-words. {{spoiler|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.
{{quote|
'''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 [http://www.adultswim.com/video/?episodeID=f10db24a00c519010890133bfe00322e 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...
{{quote|
* 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. [[Getting Crap Past the Radar|Good night, everybody!]]"
Line 343:
** Actually, someone who worked for Nick actually said what they said was really [[Gosh Dang It to Heck|"phony."]]
** At the end of "Krusty Love", [[SpongeBob]] lets out a stream of...[[Angrish|gibberish]] that is obviously intended to be interpreted as cursing.
{{quote|
'''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".
Line 354:
** Palpatine in the [[Star Wars]] specials seems to adopt this. Then again, seeing how the same specials also depict Palpatine as a [[Sir Swearsalot|potty mouth]], it isn't surprising.
* Attempted by Phineas of [[Phineas and Ferb]], though with his innocence it doesn't quite go as planned;
{{quote|
'''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.
Line 370:
* 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 may explain his sometimes redundant speaking style; he's concentrating too hard on not cussing to say anything informative.
* An amusing [[Curse of the Ancients|now-PG version]] is recorded in a letter to Abraham Lincoln from a slavery proponent:
{{quote|
** God ''damn!''
* ''Not'' used by [[Richard Nixon]]. Contrary to popular belief, most of the "expletives deleted" were [http://itre.cis.upenn.edu/~myl/languagelog/archives/002277.html apparently] "hell" and "damn", and at the worst "shit".
* Former US Congressman and White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel is notorious for this.
{{quote|
** Lampooned by none other than his boss, Barack Obama, [paraphrased] "Rahm is having trouble with this holiday, he's not used to saying the word 'Day' after 'Mother'".
** A bit of controversy erupted when he was chosen to be Obama's Chief of Staff. One reporter on [[NPR]] described him in Lewis Black's terms (below) as "using the F word like a comma." Another reporter described a plaque in Emanuel's office as having the text, "The Secretary of ____ Off." (Of course they had to bowdlerize for broadcast, as this was Morning Edition.)
