9:38 Harold Lloyd actually used the middle finger in Speedy (1928) when he looks in a mirror and realizes his suit is covered in wet paint-he flips the bird to his own reflection
"No G rated movies have swearing." - Hit the buzzer! "BZZZZZZ" - In "Star Trek: The Motion Picture" which is (inexplicably) rated "G" and released in 1979, when Dr Leonard McCoy arrives on the Enterprise, Kirk tells him "Dammit Bones, I need you!". So, mild as it is, it's still there! Heh heh, great video, dude!
When you mentioned Star Trek, I thought you were going to say, "Dammit Jim, I'm a doctor not a [whatever]." But then I looked it up, and apparently that line was never said any Star Trek media. How odd.
What about the true grit (1969). That movie was rated G and had moderate swearing (Son of a bitch) and a scene where a guy's hand gets chopped off on-screen
Planet of the Apes was G rated and it had some mild swearing like "damn" and "hell". Also, for PG movies with f*ck "Big" , "Sixteen Candles" , and "Spaceballs" come to mind.
this is the kind of quality and well researched video I would expect to see from some big 500k sub channel. the fact that this is the second video put out by a small channel is rather impressive.
Another silent movie swear is in Charlie Chaplin’s The Kid (1921). When Chaplin is introduced, he gets hit in the head by garbage, and the card says “awkward ass!”
Some minor corrections: There are other PG films that have the F word in them. Examples include All The President’s Men,* The Song Remains The Same, Sorcerer, The Right Stuff, Terms Of Endearment, Sixteen Candles, Spaceballs, and Big. And there are some G rated films with swearing, 2001: A Space Odyssey and Planet Of The Apes come to mind. *All The President's Men actually has 10 F-bombs to be exact and originally got an R rating for it, but ultimately got a PG due to the movie's historical context.
And the latter two examples came out after the implementation of PG-13. I can’t think of any other PG examples post-1984, other than Big, but please list them if anyone thinks of any. I think it’s kinda weird that few people talk about this brief window between ‘68 and ‘84 where PG had similar rules to PG-13, and the even briefer window in the mid to late 80s where PG and PG-13 hadn’t quite found its differentiation. Like even the creator of this video doesn’t seem to be fully aware of that. And if you try googling it, most articles just discuss F-bombs in PG-13 movies, totally ignoring the handful of PG examples in the 70s and 80s.
'Beetle-juice' wasn't rated 'P.G.' over here in the U.K. back in the day, it was rated 'Fifteen'- (your equivalent of that's about an 'R'). I think 'Beetle-juice' is rated 'Twelve' over here now, which is roughly equivalent to 'P.G.-Thirteen'.
I'm so glad i found your channel totally by accident and this early..i followed you with only one video and didn't disapoint..keep doing this amazing job dude
There is a G rated disney movie that uses the word 'Hell'. Although it was released in 1959 before the MPAA, it may have been later submitted because all the Home Video releases (VHS, DVD, Bluray) have the G Rating logo on it. In the scene where Maleficent turns into a dragon, she says "Now shall you deal with me, oh Prince, and all the powers of Hell!" And oh, the scene is epic, btw.
9:36 there's silent films that came earlier that also used the middle finger, also a lot of explicit material was prevalent in underground movies, although they weren't mainstream commercially released films so most of the time they didn't adhere to the rules, still a great video though
Well said! Also I’m glad you have this non-tornado channel. Some movies are out the box and some like 1980’s Airplane is PG but has a scene with topless women in it
13:26 Beetlejuice isn’t the only PG movie with the f-word. Movies like Sixteen Candles (1984), The Front (1976), Nothing in Common (1986), Spaceballs (1987) had one f-word snuck in, Big (1988), back between the mid 70’s like “All the president’s men (1976) at least 10 f-words to the early 80’s like REDs (1981) had a few. But mostly using the f-word once in Well-known PG movies like Big, Spaceballs, Sixteen candles, and Beetlejuice, sadly that’s a thing from the past. Idk why that change has happened other than the MPAA being inconsistent and timing making the change. 13:16 Also, “shit” was more common in the 70’s and 80’s. Like Top Gun (1986), “shit” was used over 30 times.
It is a bit weird that the MPAA has become more strict with swearing in family films over the years, despite swearing becoming more common in real life and the internet.
@@gwenwagner-sr6zn It’s fucking stupid. They’ve been more relaxed with the blood and sex scenes and you’d think they would’ve been more relaxed with the profanity in PG-13 and PG movies.
The first talkie to be released with damn and hell spoken is "The Lady Lies" from September 1929. Also "Disraeli" from October 1929 uses the word damn. "The Green Goddess" filmed in May 1929 has as its closing line, "She'd probably have been a damned nuisance." However this film wasn't released until February, 1930. "Glorifying the American Girl" was released in December 1929. A musical comedy from early 1930, "The Cuckoos", uses the phrase, "the best Damn caballeros" during the opening sequence of the film. There are numerous other examples from the 1929-30 era.
An addendum if it will help... A G Rated movie with mild expletives is "The Andromeda Strain" from 1971. It also has a brief scene containing a topless woman. This movie gets away with quite a bit for a G rating. The other PG movie F-bomb of the 80s I remember is Spaceballs with the line "Fuck! Even in the future nothing works!"
Can't believe you forgot to mention a big popular film that really broke the barriers when it comes to swearing, Scarface. That was the first movie to ever use the f-word over 200 times, which was hugely controversial at the time.
I can’t imagine there was a lot of movies outside of Gone With the Wind that had swearing during the hays code. You start getting swearing late 60s-early 70s when the Hays code was abolished
9:36 No; in the 1955 film Battle Cry, a few marines are flipping off the first battalion because they get to go to camp very faster but they have to walk.
I think the real question this video raises is, what would our classic ("oldies") films have looked like without the Hayes code? Such a shame that a LARGE chunk of movies from this era feel so similar because they all had to follow a certain formula.
A minor correction that the loose “one fuck and moderate swearing” rule seemed to apply to PG movies before the introduction of PG-13, such as the seven-ups or 16 candles and there seemed to be some overlap after the new rating’s implementation in the mid to late 80s with movies such as Beetlejuice, Big, and Spaceballs. I haven’t done much research on this, this is just all based on observations of movies before and after the implementation of PG-13.
For the Hells Angels 1930 film, the term 'son of a bitch' was said twice during the final aerial dogfight, the second instance is much clearer at 1:41:48 in this upload ruclips.net/video/GhyNpM5FKNE/видео.htmlsi=zCW-kcFV53PhbtWT
I think one of the first swearwords what was used in a British movie was the word, "bloody"- (which, for the record's pretty much equivalent, with regards to its rudeness-level, to "Goddamn" in Canada and the U.S.), in 'The Italian Job', right at the very end of the Sixties, in which, a very angry Charlie Croker yells "You're only supposed to blow the bloody doors off!" Now, having just compared "bloody" to "Goddamn"- (which means that it's a step up from 'Gone With The Wind's' "Frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn!"), that probably sounds so tame now, by today's standards, but I'm surprised they got away with that particular line back in the Sixties!
4:13 "Jackass" (or even just plain "ass") is not considered an obscenity when referring to a donkey instead of a derriere. That's how it can show up even in G-rated films like Pinocchio. 5:04 is actually a pun. "Boche" was slang for "German/s" back in the day.
Several PG movies back in the 80s had a single F bomb in it. Sixteen Candles was PG and had the line "they forgot my fucking birthday" as another example. It wasn't until the PG13 rating became more commonplace that phenomenon then stopped.
In Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves, Will Scarlet says "FUCK ME, he cleared it!" Also I vaguely remember some old cartoon - maybe a Popeye short but I don't remember - where a bunch of street kids are hanging around when one of them shouts "JESUS! THE COPS!"
I remember watching the episode of South Park when, "They're Going to Say Shit on Television" ironically predicted the future by one week. The week after the South Park episode, a USA Network show featured characters saying "shit" and "bullshit" so frequently that it was almost like watching re-runs of SP. Reality imitating "art?"
Heyyyy can i ask a favor? Since you have a history degree can you help me determine if there has ever been a tornado on the front line of war and perhaps what the memoirs of that are like? Surely with the length and scale of like ww2 it had to have happened at least once. If not ww2 then ww1
Another noteable example: out of all the fucks in Rent, not one, not two, but three of them were used in the film (two sung in The Tango Maureen scene and one spoken at the start of the restaurant/La Vie Boheme scene), as they could only choose one outside of singing. I preferred the "Benny called the cops" part of the restaurant scene better for the use of fuck.
There’s a Velvet Underground show from the 60s where the police come in to try & stop it and an officer starts turning down the amps & you can visibly see Lou Reed mouth “what the fuck”
The 1958 movie The house and haunted Hill had the use of the word damn in it. Don't know how they got away with that. All of the James Bond films even in the early 1960s had mild profanity in them as well. This was all before the Hays code was abolished.
Wow... censor's cared more about having a type-writer sound cover the S-O-B word rather than blurring out the posters on the wall behind them.... guess they were fans of hugh hefner lol
what about Trailer Park Boys' Swearnet that has 935 fucks nearly 400+ more than the wolf of wall street and currently holds the record for most swearing in a film

Let It Be is rated TV-MA on Disney+ now lol
Never seen a new channel come out the gate with such high value like this before

The only "cuss" I remember from 2001 Space Odyssey was "hell"

I originally thought Mrs. Doubtfire was originally rated PG, but in recent years, that became more of a Mandela effect to me.
That means Beetlejuice was the last use, unless Beetlejuice Beetlejuice is rated PG and has special clearance as a comeback line.
You put so much effort into your videos and I love them!
This video really worth my waiting!
Saw your first video and subcribed immediately, and didn't disappoint.
YOUR VIDEOS ARE AMAZING I WISH YOU COULD UPLOAD DAILY!
Love your stuff so far!
'Beetle-juice' wasn't rated 'P.G.' over here in the U.K. back in the day, it was rated 'Fifteen'- (your equivalent of that's about an 'R'). I think 'Beetle-juice' is rated 'Twelve' over here now, which is roughly equivalent to 'P.G.-Thirteen'.
This is really entertaining and I love channels talking about films
You should do a evolution of violence, also you do a great job on your videos👍
Thanks so much! Thats a great idea! Im already mapping the video out in my head haha
The evolution of internet horror could be cool too. From chain email to creepypasta stories to analog horror.
Funny enough, if you look deep enough. Before the 70's and 80's, there were some pretty fucked up, violent, films out there.

Your videos are so in depth and well made. Bravo!
Bro how do you start off with amazing videos?!?!
He has another channel so he already has the setup and stuff

Haha thanks GeorgeMox!
keep up the great videos man. on both channels
Thanks! New video on the other channel next week haha
You forgot about Spaceballs a movie by Mel Brooks that has the f word. Towards the end Dark Helmet says “fuck, even in the future nothing works.”

This isn't profane in context to be fair, and therefore, it isn't considered swearing in this nature and is still appropriate for the G rating.
9:36 there's silent films that came earlier that also used the middle finger, also a lot of explicit material was prevalent in underground movies, although they weren't mainstream commercially released films so most of the time they didn't adhere to the rules, still a great video though
These are great. I know this vid got scorned by the algorithm, but you could really build up a cult audience with these.
"This is fu*king great! this isn't bullsh*t." (okay i am just joking)
This channel is great
great job!
Thanks!

5:04 is actually a pun. "Boche" was slang for "German/s" back in the day.
In the Disney movie, Big, the best friend to the protagonist says "hey, who the fuck do you think you are". Pretty sure that was PG

BIG 1988 was pg and has an f bomb with billy saying it to josh
1980s and the 1990s used the most swear words in PG movies
Found this channel after shitting myself during Exorcist 3. Glad I did, can't wait for more videos!
Several PG movies used the F word once. And True Grit, Planet of the apes, and The Haunting were all G and they used swear words!
wow!
coud you do a video of the evouloution of gore in horror movies
What about b*tch? I was surprised to hear it in Hush Hush Sweet Charlotte from 1964. Not sure if it appears any earlier
I loved this video but I want people to be mature about swearing Tbh
Wow... censor's cared more about having a type-writer sound cover the S-O-B word rather than blurring out the posters on the wall behind them.... guess they were fans of hugh hefner lol

what about Trailer Park Boys' Swearnet that has 935 fucks nearly 400+ more than the wolf of wall street and currently holds the record for most swearing in a film
The movie spaceballs is rated PG and has an F bomb and a lot of other profanity for a PG movie.
