"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
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!”
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.
'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'.
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.
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.
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.
Hell is only a curse word when you’re not using it to describe the place hell. In Sleeping Beauty, Maleficent says “and all the powers of hell!” which describes the place Hell, so that’s not considered curing. When using it out of context such as “what the hell” or “get the hell out of here”, now THAT is when hell becomes a curse word.
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
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.
I know this has nothing to do with movies but I was looking at a video of the oldest sound recordings and they had one of a guy from the 1880s swearing it was so funny
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
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!"
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.
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.
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”
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 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
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.
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.
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.
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 ua-cam.com/video/GhyNpM5FKNE/v-deo.htmlsi=zCW-kcFV53PhbtWT
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.
There are a bunch of PG rated films that contain the word "fuck" other than Beetlejuice inclusing the Tom Hanks film Big and Caddyshack 2. All three of these films were released in 1988.
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.
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

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
Thanks! Still trying to figure out the lighting and the backdrop haha

He has a larger channel called Swegle Studios.
Big (1988) and Spaceballs (1987) are 2 other PG movies that say the f word
Bro made 2 excellent videos in early 2023 then dipped.
'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'.

The only "cuss" I remember from 2001 Space Odyssey was "hell"
A bridge too far (1977) also features the F word and is pg rated.

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!
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.
That instance in Spaceballs was quite covert. A very blink and you miss it moment.
Love your stuff so far!
This is really entertaining and I love channels talking about films
Bro how do you start off with amazing videos?!?!
He has another channel so he already has the setup and stuff
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
Thanks so much!
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!
Your content is great man. Keep it up
Damn how do you have such high video production for a brand new channel? Great stuff anyway! I'm excited to see what you do next
Thanks! I do have another channel already so the studio setup is from that. I have a long list of ideas so stay tuned!
this channel gonna be huge, great video ideas and outstanding production
Thanks Leonardo!

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.
Hell is only a curse word when you’re not using it to describe the place hell. In Sleeping Beauty, Maleficent says “and all the powers of hell!” which describes the place Hell, so that’s not considered curing. When using it out of context such as “what the hell” or “get the hell out of here”, now THAT is when hell becomes a curse word.
"This is fu*king great! this isn't bullsh*t." (okay i am just joking)
keep up the great videos man. on both channels
Thanks! New video on the other channel next week haha
These are great. I know this vid got scorned by the algorithm, but you could really build up a cult audience with these.
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
And when the world needed him most, he disappeared
Big (Tom Hanks) was also rated PG and features an f-bomb.
10:57 The first c-word was actually in William Friedkin’s 1970 film “The Boys in the Band”.
love this dude. please make more
This channel is great

13:46 Spaceballs also has an f-bomb and was somehow rated PG by the MPAA.
Big also had an f-bomb there and was rated PG
Great video! Which source(s) did you use to find these occurrences and establish your timeline?
great job!
Thanks!
13:02 we shouldn’t say f***
White Water Summer from 1987 has an f bomb and it's fair share of shits and it's rated PG.

Now you have to make a video about how much swear words are in some of the movies with the most swear words
Luv that shirt man Song of Faith + Devotion is such a hidden gem among 90s albums much respect 2 u ୧⍢⃝୨ luv 4 DM
Spaceballs and Big are PG rated movies with an F bomb in it ..And 16 Candles. PG-13 was around, but not many people were aware of it back then
"Big" with Tom Hanks, also has a pretty notable use of the F word in a PG film
I saw your shirt. I love Depeche Mode. (My favorite band.)
Really like that scenario!

Frankly my dear, this was a great fucking video
Bro please make more
I'm pretty sure that The Secret of NIHM (rated G, 1982) has a character that says "Damn" in it.
There are some other PG-rated movies in the 80s that used one F-bomb like Tootsie, Spaceballs, and Big.
is that Skull Girls music around 7 minutes
The Exorcist also had 2 C words, One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest had 1
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!"

You forgot about the Disney movie Pinocchio saying “jack(a-word)” three times
Spaceballs was PG and had an F-Bomb in it.

Space balls is PG and said "fuck, even in the future nothing works."
The Three Stooges- Punch Drunks (1934) has a crowd spectator flipping the finger.
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
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.
Does anyone know what joke Douglas Fairbanks said?
3:02 That’s looks longer than “Bastards”
Found this channel after shitting myself during Exorcist 3. Glad I did, can't wait for more videos!
Another pg movie with the f word I know of is Spaceballs (witch is a Star wars parody)
9:15 My favorite line
Spaceballs with a PG rating also had one use of “fuck”. And yes, this was AFTER the PG-13 rating was created.
There are a bunch of PG rated films that contain the word "fuck" other than Beetlejuice inclusing the Tom Hanks film Big and Caddyshack 2. All three of these films were released in 1988.
All the President's Men (1976) had the most F bombs for a PG film-10.
I think the movie Big is also a PG movie with the F Word, I may be wrong it’s been a few years since I’ve watched it
Wait I thought he said "Frankly my dear, I love you let's remarry"
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.
13:49 Big starring Tom Hanks has oneF bomb in it, “ Who the fuck are you”.
