Line 73:
* Gunnery Sergeant Hartman in ''[[Full Metal Jacket]]''.
* Steve Stifler from the ''[[American Pie]]'' series.
* Carl Showalter from ''[[Fargo]]''. It's somewhat justified considering what he goes through during the course of the film, which tends to result in angry tirades on his part, but it's also clearly meant to serve as a contrast to the [[Gosh Dang It to Heck]] speech that the Gundersons, the Lundergaards, and for the most part, the rest of the town are accustomed to.
* Ralphie's dad from ''[[A Christmas Story]]'', though it's mostly just unintelligible shouting due to censoring.
{{quote|'''Adult Ralphie''': My father worked in profanity the way other artists might work in oils or clay. It was his true medium, a master. }}
* ''[[Little Miss Sunshine]]'' has the grandpa, and later on, {{spoiler|Dwayne, starting when he realizes he's colour blind and therefore, can't fly planes. He breaks his vow of silence with an enormous [[Atomic F-Bomb]], and from there, most of his limited dialogue consists of one small [[Cluster F-Bomb]] after another.}}
* Osbourne Cox from ''[[Burn After Reading]]''. He's a bit of a unique example in that he doesn't swear as naturally as most other examples on this page, but due to having a mean [[Hair-Trigger Temper]], he tends to drop F words in almost every sentence whenever he's upset (which is a lot), accumulating for just over half of the movie's total F bombs.
* Gawain [[Mac Sam]] from the remake of ''[[The Lady Killers]]'', especially compared to the other main characters. A couple of the one scene characters shown near the beginning such as Weemack and the tv commercial director could qualify as well. Gee, [[The Coen Brothers]] sure like having these types of characters in their movies, don't they?
* Seth in ''[[Superbad]]''. The entire movie is really vulgar, but Seth could probably be considered the live action equivalent of Cartman, who manages to stick out despite almost everyone cussing like there's no end.
* Kyle in ''[[50/50|Fifty Fifty]]'', although considering he's played by [[Seth Rogen]], this probably doesn't surprise anyone.
* Nino in ''[[Drive (film)|Drive]]''.
* The entire ''[[21 Jump Street (film)|Twenty One Jump Street]]'' movie is such an epic swearfest that it's almost easier to list characters that cuss all the time than it is to name ones that don't. However, there is still no one else that can match the proficiency of the well-oiled swearing machine that is Captain Dickson.
* Charles and Cary from ''[[Super 8]]'', especially Charles. Being a PG-13 rated movie, it's not as noticeable as other examples, but the movie itself is heavy on profanity for one with that rating, and if you pay attention, somewhere between 80 to 90 percent of that language is from these two alone.
* Sheriff J.W. Pepper from the James Bond installments, ''[[Live and Let Die (film)|Live and Let Die]]'' and ''[[The Man with the Golden Gun]]'' swears noticeably often for any character from a James Bond movie. Not only that, but in his first appearance, he even came close to being the only character to use the F word in the entire series!
Line 95:
* The hunchbacked sorcerer Beldin in ''[[The Belgariad]]'' has a hideous body, horrid manners and an equally foul mouth. But underneath it all, he's just [[Jerk with a Heart of Gold|a big softie]].
* Uno from ''[[Wheel of Time]]'' gets called out on this by other characters, especially Nynaeve.
** Also Mat. Again, Nynaeve ain't happy. Wanders into serious [[Narm]] territory when you see that "Blood and ashes!" and "Mother's milk in a cup!" apparently constitutes heinous swearing in [[Fan Nickname|Randland]].
* Subverted with [[Discworld/The Truth|Mr. Tulip]], who doesn't --ing swear. He just says "--ing" a --ing lot.
* ''[[A Song of Ice and Fire]]'' has a few (who still stand out thanks to [[Loads and Loads of Characters]]). [[Complete Monster|Complete Monsters]] Gregor Clegane and Rorge have never actually met but still seem to be competing to see who can swear more while committing horrific acts of rape and dismemberment, but there's an otherwise irrelevant [[Mook]] nicknamed "Shitmouth" who can out-swear them both. In ''A Dance With Dragons'', Asha interacts with Ser Clayton Suggs, a low born knight, and about 90% of those interactions consist of him calling her a cunt.
Line 114:
** [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GbAN5g0MUpU Ladies and gentlemen, Debra Fucking Morgan.]
** At one point, she's forced to give a press conference, and can't help dropping an f-bomb on air. When she sees herself on tv later, complete with bleeped-out obscenity, her response, in a hospital waiting room full of kids: "oh, ''fuck''."
* Susie Greene and Leon Black in ''[[Curb Your Enthusiasm]]''.
* Batiatus from the the most recent Spartacus adaptation ''[[Spartacus: Blood and Sand]]'', especially when he's suffering from a [[Villainous Breakdown]].
* Most of the cast from ''[[Boardwalk Empire]]'' is quite used to dropping profanity all over the place, but the Commodore sticks out as being the worst. The part that may surprise some people about it is that he's a SENIOR.
* Inverted by Omar in ''[[The Wire]]'' -- in spite of being a major [[Badass]], he's the ''only'' character who refuses to curse and admonishes others for doing so constantly.
* Virtually ''every'' character in ''[[Misfits]]'' qualifies, but Nathan and Kelly are probably the worst.
Line 136:
* Cid and Barret in ''[[Final Fantasy VII]]''.
{{quote|'''Cid:''' "Shut up! Sit your ass down in that chair, and ''[[Memetic Mutation|drink your goddamn tea]]!''"}}
* Kanji in ''[[Persona 4]]''. Although he eventually gets over it after [[Character Development]] turns him from [[Chaotic Neutral]] to [[Chaotic Good]].
{{quote|"I'm gonna RENOVATE your ass!"}}
* Gryz in ''[[Phantasy Star IV]]'' does this by being the only person to swear in the entire game.
* Victor 'Goddamn' Sullivan from "[[Uncharted Drakes Fortune]]" and "[[Uncharted 2 Among Thieves]]". Naturally, he keeps it T-rated.
* Jr. in ''[[Xenosaga]]''?
* Ragna The Bloodedge and Kokonoe both tend to drop Cluster S.o.B. Bombs in ''[[Blaz Blue]]''.
Line 204:
== Western Animation ==
* [[Punny Name|Fowlmouth/Foulmouth]] from ''[[Tiny Toon Adventures]]''; bleeps in the show, "Dad Gum" in [[The Movie]]. It's noted, however, that Fowlmouth cleans up his language when there are little kids nearby.
* Krueger from ''[[Undergrads]]''.
* Though almost everyone in ''[[South Park]]'' swears except for Butters (usually) most of it comes from Eric Cartman.
Line 213:
== Real Life ==
* [[National Hockey League|New York Rangers]] coach John Tortorella is quite given to expletives, in contrast to his basketball counterparts. In January of 2012, he called his boss's early Stanley Cup prediction "a bunch of bullshit".
* Former Prime Minister of Australia Paul Keating was infamous for his barnyard vocabulary ''while still in office'' (probably he still drops the odd [[Cluster F-Bomb]]), being very much the guttermouth by Australian political standards - link:http://www.webcity.com.au/keating/
* [[Ramsays Kitchen Nightmares|Gordon]] [[Precision F-Strike|fucking]] [[Ramsays Kitchen Nightmares|Ramsay]]
