{{quote|''"I have sampled every language, French is my favourite - fantastic language, especially to curse with.

** "FUCK YOU, BITCH!"
* Somewhat subverted in ''[[Black Lagoon]]'', as Revy, [[Cluster F-Bomb]] that she is, drops them regularly (moreso when she's upset - the curses appear as [[Unsound Effect|onomatopoeiae]]!), but, unlike the aforementioned Asuka (who ''is'' bilingual) she speaks just English.
* [[Played With]] in one sketch by German comedian Didi Hallervorden. Context: A prisoner gets a visit by his wife (or gf), but all the time they have Didi as a kind of chaperone who will honk a horn and give them minus points whenever they get too lovey-dovey and/or obscene. This gets pretty ridicilous, and the prisoner protests. Then...▼

* The ''[[CSI: NY]]'' fic ''[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/6902768/1/Wrong_Place_Wrong_Time
* In [[Spice Girls]]/[[Backstreet Boys]] fic, ''[https://my.w.tt/D0ZKkdOAZW The Cabin]'' has Geri tricking Brian into saying "Lick my ass" in German. Melanie scolds Geri for it while Victoria [[Actually Pretty Funny| find herself laughing]].
* [[The Teraverse]] superheroine nun Sister Marie swears very infrequently, but when she does, it's always in French, even though she's American. (Although she's of half-French descent and was raised bilingual.)

Line 150 ⟶ 143:
== Music ==
* Richie Kavanagh's song "Aon Focal Eile" - a hybrid English-Irish song about a teacher teaching Irish. ''She said 'Aon focal, dá focal, trúir focal, eile' - and I not knowin' no focal at all''. Translated to English means, ''She said 'One word, two words, three words, another' - and I not knowin no word at all''. The humour is from the fact that "Focal" (an Irish word meaning "word") is pronounced "Fuckal".
== Recorded and Stand Up Comedy ==

==
* In ''[[God Hand]]'', Elvis is inherently fond of swearing in Spanish in a regular basis. Most notable in the battle quotes ("Time to play, pendejo!" "¡No hablo inglés, cabrón!").
* The Spanish-speaking [[Not Using the Z Word|Ganados]] of ''[[Resident Evil]] 4'' use some words that, if translated, would probably crank the game's rating up. And it's already [[Rated "M" for Money]].
Line 182 ⟶ 184:
==
* ''[[Twokinds]]'': What Flora says when she breaks her foot is apparantly "untranslatable".
* ''[[Scandinavia and The World]]'': Finland says [[Cluster F-Bomb|"Perkele"]] a lot. (In fact, it's [[The Quiet One|almost the only thing he ever says.]])
* ''[[The Dreadful]]'': Erin's final words are [[Defiant to the End|"Leck mich."]]<ref>Short for "Leck mich am Arsch.", literally "Lick me on the ass.", German version of "Kiss my ass."</ref>
== Western Animation ==
* "Wanker" and "shite", which are considered quite rude in British English, are apparently exotic enough that they can be used on ''[[The Simpsons (animation)|The Simpsons]]'' without anyone batting an eye. See [[Did Not Do the Bloody Research]].
* Similarly, a single episode of ''[[Daria]]'' has the English character<ref>A personification of Guy Fawkes Day; it's [[Non Sequitur Episode|complicated]].</ref> saying "wankers", "tossers", and a few lesser swears. When aired in Britain, the character's scenes were so heavily edited that they made little or no sense.
* ''[[Futurama]]'' has Amy occasionally cursing in Cantonese.
