    "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.

    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'.

    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.

    • @elijahvincent985
      @elijahvincent985 6 місяців тому

      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.

  • @Croccydile

    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!"

    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.

    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.

    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!

    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.

I preferred the "Benny called the cops" part of the restaurant scene better for the use of fuck.

The film, Medium Cool (1969) also had the F-word from a scene with protesters, That too was before M*A*S*H.
