Back then (1940's) the F Word was considered the worst word in the English language and would usually result in dad's belt or mouthful of soap. Nowadays so many people use it it's just a part of the English language.
Yes, the way his mouth drops open and his eyes widen in PURE SHOCK, all like-"WHAT?!!! Oh, God, don't tell me you just said the #1 obscene word, Ralphie!" Not to mention the fact that he must have gasped, no sooner had Ralphie said it.
You notice he starts to laugh though once Raphie is out of sight. I wonder if that's supposed to be the dad in character laughing about it even though it's not supposed to be funny and he doesn't want Ralphie to see it or if it was Darren McGavin laughing for real. Because according to Bob Clark Peter Billingsley actually said f**k and they dubbed in "fudge" in post-production.
“...Though my personal preference was for Lux, but I found that Palmolive had a nice, piquant after-dinner flavor - heady, but with a touch of mellow smoothness. Lifebuoy on the other hand... (yeuck)” This script 😂
@Aleister Alan-A-Dale all right! Now where did you hear that word?! (Adult Ralphie: Now I had heard that word at least 10 times a day from my old man. My father worked at profanity like other artists would work in oil or clay. It was his true medium: a master. But I chickened out and blurted out the first name that came to mind..... Ralphie: Schwartz! Mother: Oh! I see...... (Shoves the bar of soap back in Ralphie's mouth as she walks over to the phone to inform Mrs. SCHWARTZ)
To me, what makes 3:18 funnier is that it INSTANTLY cuts there as soon as Ralphie's mother gasps in shock! Heck, the first time I watched the film without snoozing, pausing, or any of that, I basically laughed my heart out.
@@jacquevogel7634 he was not more careful around her. when fixing the furnace he yelled every curse in the book loud enough for the whole state to hear.
@@jacquevogel7634 Perhaps. Back in those days I think it was considered worse for men to swear around women and children than in private. I know that my home state of Michigan adopted a law back in the 1890s that actually made it illegal to swear with women and/or children present, and it stayed on the books for over a century until a court (rightly, IMO) ruled it unconstitutional.
Not only parents are hypocrites, parents make the situation worse. If a kid swear, I would never make a fuss about it. This is a good example as to why children have the right to prove a point, not being talked down like untrained dogs. Don't believe me, science has revealed that swearing is not as bad as we all say it is.
STOP FUDGING SAYING THAT FUDGING BAD WORD! ITS NOT FUDGING FUNNY?! WHY THE FUDGE WOULD YOU FUDGING SAY SUCH A FUDGING BAD WORD? WHAT THE FUDGE IS WRONG WITH YOU >:( (this is a fudging joke dont take this fudging seriously)
I think the only crime this film has ever suffered from was being extremely overplayed. I think it was brilliant in every way, but broadcast networks just strait up turned it into something incredibly tacky... Like it definitely deserved the success, but nowadays it seems everyone forgets how incredibly well-written, acted and innovative it really was. It’s not just a Christmas classic. This was a masterpiece.
@@christosstamato527 I think that’s kinda good honestly. Like, reevaluating my comment from a year ago, it’s good that such a fantastic film gets the attention it deserves, but at the same time, a film like this is so much more special when it’s treated special.
This movie is on my personal Mt. Rushmore of Christmas movies, along with White Christmas (not to be confused with Holiday Inn), Jingle All the Way and It's A Wonderful Life.
@@hotwax9376 Lolol that’s a great list already right there 😂 Jingle All the Way is an especially underrated one that always hits my screen around this time of year. My personal other faves are Christmas Vacation, Black Christmas (the original one) and Elf… yeah, Christmas gets a bit weird in my house Lolol
The way the Old Man fusses over Ralphie holding the hubcap the right way is EXACTLY how my ol' man was when he ordered me to help him with any chore like that. You were supposed to know everything better than he did before he did it.
But what kills me is that if you listen to the narrator he said basically he had the soap in the mouth thing so many times the boy had a damn preference now that is funny as hell
Was a fan of this movie because it was Brilliant! Me and my sister's childhood. And Plus, Mr. Darrin- " The Night Stalker". Best Show Ever! Started following his career at an early age- MAGNIFICENT!
Just watching this quick clip of the movie alone sunk me right back into my childhood!! When the video ended I had almost forgotten what I was doing, and it threw me off! I’m only 21, but I watched this movie on repeat every Christmas as a child, on my own terms. My parents couldn’t get me away from the damn TV
There's even a shirt with Ralphie on the front with the soap in his mouth and the words "Oh Fudge!" 3 or 4 times next to him and the movie's logo under Ralphie.
Back during the time period this movie was taken place, the 1940s, where would people normally hear swear words? Back then you don’t hear them on television or in any movie.

To be fair, people between the period 1950s and 2010s said the same thing about society pre-1960s. Nowadays, it seems like we are back to censorship. The main difference is that way back when, religious conservatism was king; now, radical liberalism is rampant. The problem with extreme politics is that they tend to favor censorship; they care more about pushing a political agenda than supporting freedom of expression. It's funny, the far-left and the far-right may despise each other, but they are one and the same. Both extremes think in black-and-white terms, lack critical thinking skills, and condone restrictions on freedom of speech albeit for different reasons. As a centrist (and champion of the arts, which have been hindered by current politics, particularly comedy/satire), I can't wait till the pendulum swings back and moderates are in charge again. Censorship and extremists are never good for the arts nor artists.
Ralphie's old man may have wove a metaphorical tapestry of obscenity that hung in space over Lake Michigan, but my grandma Frank wove an actual tapestry of obscenity that hung over the fireplace. She was a huge George Carlin fan, and that's how me and all my brothers and sisters learned the 'F' word. Of course, she didn't really do that, but her name was Frank. It was short for François. However, we had a little brother when me and all my brothers and sisters were grown up and we thought it was funny to teach him to swear. The little bastard cursed a blue streak before he was three years old, and one time me and my friend were listening to him run through his monologue of profanity in our basement that was divided in half by a bamboo curtain. He thought he was hot shit, hanging with the big dogs, until the curtain went flying open and my ma was standing there with steam coming out of her ears. My little brother turned as white as a ghost and literally stammered, ''I didn't know you were there''. Me and my buddy thought that was way too funny. She told him it didn't matter if she was there or not, grabbed his arm and started whaling on his ass. He was crying, she sounded like Schwartz's mom when she beat his ass and we just walked away laughing and told him to have fun with mom. And the kid knew how to use the 'shut the front door' joke 25 years ago, unlike people who use it now. My sister Frank {sorta named after my grandma, Frances} was talking shit to my little brother in front of our mom when he said, ''Franny, shut the fffffff......'', then looked at mom and continued, ''...ffffront door''. l actually thought he made it up, because I've never heard it used before back then.
I love when their singing Jungle Bells and the mom does a raspberry plus I love when the dad says to Ralphie what are you doing out here then gets all excited for his help 😂😂
Haha so funny back then when a kid is asked to help their dad with something they’re like “really can I?!” Like it’s a special privilege or something, but now a days the response would be “ugh fine...”
Oh,Fudge! Only that wasn't what I said; I said THE word, the BIG one! The quintessential obscene word, the f*** word! It was over for me, what would it be, the guillotine, the electric chair, walking the plank? Ha, all were certainly quick and painless compared to what I was in for! And yes, I agree, the way Ralphie's mom screams when she learns what he said--AAAHHHH!!! RALPHIE! YOU DIDN'T!!!-yes, you'd think she had just witnessed some most gruesome murder or something, the way she certainly does scream BLOODY MURDER!
I love the blood-curdling scream that Ralphie's mom makes when she hears what he said.

+IdeaBos9000 She didn't gasp, she screamed--a blood-curdling scream if there ever was one.
I had the same reaction when I first watched it.
On that one day in 1983, a Movie Legend was born, that would entertain people of all ages every Christmas, it would leave a Legacy
Why did she even have to ask where he heard it, does she not live with the old man?
Maybe he was more careful around his wife. The father was hypocritical being angry that Ralphie would swear even he would.
I think the idea is that parents don't see the negative influence they can have on their kids so they try to find an outside force to blame it on.

The moment of uncomfortable silence before quietly, but firmly saying "get in the car." God, you can feel Ralphie's despair a mile away.
But what kills me is that if you listen to the narrator he said basically he had the soap in the mouth thing so many times the boy had a damn preference now that is funny as hell

nowadays when children get punished for swearing by having soap in their mouths, it's called abuse.
But it is still a rule where I am

My mother used to literally brush the entire inside of my mouth with soap with her fingers. Not even kidding
And honestly, it should be.
Because it is it’s poising children

He thought he was hot shit, hanging with the big dogs, until the curtain went flying open and my ma was standing there with steam coming out of her ears. My little brother turned as white as a ghost and literally stammered, ''I didn't know you were there''. Me and my buddy thought that was way too funny. She told him it didn't matter if she was there or not, grabbed his arm and started whaling on his ass. He was crying, she sounded like Schwartz's mom when she beat his ass and we just walked away laughing and told him to have fun with mom.
And the kid knew how to use the 'shut the front door' joke 25 years ago, unlike people who use it now. My sister Frank {sorta named after my grandma, Frances} was talking shit to my little brother in front of our mom when he said, ''Franny, shut the fffffff......'', then looked at mom and continued, ''...ffffront door''. l actually thought he made it up, because I've never heard it used before back then.

Ralphie's mom: 😱AAAAAAH!!!😱😠RALPHIE!!😠
(BAR OF SOAP)
Me:🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I love when their singing Jungle Bells and the mom does a raspberry plus I love when the dad says to Ralphie what are you doing out here then gets all excited for his help 😂😂
1:56 Ralphie: Oh Fudge
Haha so funny back then when a kid is asked to help their dad with something they’re like “really can I?!” Like it’s a special privilege or something, but now a days the response would be “ugh fine...”
Its usually around after 8 years old kids stop looking at their fathers as a God and start rebelling.
Oh,Fudge! Only that wasn't what I said; I said THE word, the BIG one! The quintessential obscene word, the f*** word! It was over for me, what would it be, the guillotine, the electric chair, walking the plank? Ha, all were certainly quick and painless compared to what I was in for! And yes, I agree, the way Ralphie's mom screams when she learns what he said--AAAHHHH!!! RALPHIE! YOU DIDN'T!!!-yes, you'd think she had just witnessed some most gruesome murder or something, the way she certainly does scream BLOODY MURDER!
I fudging love this moment it’s hilarious.
