petit bourgois merde

So what's your favorite moment in movie cursing? While "I [Heart] Huckabees" has an awe-inspiring sequence of the foulest vocabulary imaginable, my hat goes off to Anne Heche delivering these lines to Dustin Hoffman in Mamet's "Wag The Dog":

"Whadda we do now, huh? Huh? What do we do now, huh, Mr. Boy-producer? Mr. Win-an-Emmy, social-conscience whale-shit save-the-rainforest peacenik commie hire-a-convict shit-head? Huh, whadda we do now, liberal affirmative-action shithead peacenick commie fuck? Whadda ya wanna do now?"

So, it's time for those Oscars that are never gonna happen: this category, best swearing/foulest mouth.

While I think about that, have you seen Channel 4's swearing celebs promo?

For the last couple of years, Four have been running these spots with the channel's biggest stars naming their favourite food, first car, where they lost their virginity, etc.

But they saved TV's best potty-mouths for use as a viral.

What with Four still showing ER, West Wing, Scrubs, Desperate Housewives, etc, it has a lot of faces familiar on both sides of the Atlantic. If this is old news to you, well, you can't see it too many times. If it's new, just enjoy. ;)
 
Bravo, Ben old chum. Thoroughly amusing, my personal highlights are Richard Schiff's "cock-sucking mother-fucker" and Peter Krause's "insufferable cock". Although PK did sound a little like Mr. Big Thumbs himself.
 
Other top marks for delivery go to the Fucks from Peter Gallagher and especially Lauren Ambrose, Judy Reyes' Cocksucker, and whatever it is that Parminder Nagra says. But then she always gets top marks for saying anything, as far as I'm concerned.

The real disappointment is Bradley Whitford. God damn son of a bitch? But it wasn't so much the words, as the body language. Either he's lying, or he's far too wholesome to really dig swearing. Mind you, he's married to Jane Kaczmarek from Malcolm in the Middle, and I wouldn't mind betting she's got a real mouth on her.

Be yourself, Josh - you owe it to the president.
 
You can't beat 'Snatch' for abundance of profanity. I counted once and they dropped the F-bomb 26 times in a 2-minute scene. Priceless.
 
oh, good call, I'd forgotten about Snatch.

if I remember right, Hurly Burly has some quality swearing in it, but I'd have to re-watch to be sure of anything other than Sean Penn whining in the voice of a petulant five-year-old, "Come on, suck my dick suck my dick suck my diiiick," to Meg Ryan. fantastic.
 
"I'd like Frank Shirley, my boss, right here tonight. I want him brought from his happy holiday slumber over there on Melody Lane, with all the other rich people, and I want him brought right here with a big ribbon on his head. And, I want to look him straight in the eye and I want to tell him what a cheap, lying, no good, rotten, floor-flushing, low-life, snake-licking, dirt-eating, inbred, overstuffed, ignorant, blood-sucking, dog-kissing, brainless, dickless, hopeless, heartless, fat-ass, bug-eyed, stiff-legged, spotty-lipped, worm-headed, sack of monkey shit he is! Hallelujah! Holly Shit! Where's the Tylenol?
 
How about Withnail's priceless, "Monty, you terriblecunt!"?
