Dude, you have WAY too much time on your hands.

Edit: w00t! time warp.

I don't know if 'G' rated is the same as 'PG' in the UK but I have heard plenty of "shits" and I am sure I heard a "frig" once but can't be sure. I am sure there are worse but it will take a while finding them. Just to sort out what can be contained in a thread title.

We don't have swear word censors (the little censorship we have is geared more towards violence), so I cannot relate.

I'm sure I saw a cartoon once where an Irish person asked for a fork.

G is for General audiences.

PG is parental guidance suggested, there you will find poop jokes.

PG-13 is parental guidance and not suitable children under 13, there you will find poop jokes, drug reference, and words like damn.

help any?

I don't know. I don't think I've watched a G movie since I was less than ten years old.

'Jurassic Park' was a PG in the UK and in one scene Jeff Goldblume says 'shit' 5 times in a row, and I don't think he meant poop (the Tyranosaur chase scene with him in the back of the 'gas powered jeep').

it's rated PG-13 here

guess PG and G are not the same. ;)

In the original version of "Star Wars: A New Hope", before Lucas mutilated it, Greedo actually said "Go fuck yourself, Han".

The subtitles were subsequently added, though the dialogue hasn't actually changed.

The whole watershed idea of swearing in films is funny. A PG film can contain some swearwords and yet in the UK 'Southpark-Bigger, Longer and Uncut' was a 12 certificate and holds the world record "Most Swearing in an Animated Film" (399 profane words, including 146 uses of "fuck"). When will people realise that swearing is not such a big deal. It is a cultural shift that changes from generation to generation.

An American 'G' would be a British 'U', I'd wager.

Erm, it was an 18.

Besides, I would argue that swearwords need to be protected so that they can be used when they are really neccesitated. Like, if you had used the word 'shit' since as soon as you could talk, it would hardly seem appropriate to use it when you are trying to escape from a Tyrannosaurus.

Erm, and Erm again. It was in fact a 15. So my apologies. And alot of kids do use the work 'shit' as soon as they can talk (trust me, I sometimes have to work in Skelmersdale). I still think they would still say it if escaping from said dinosaur.

i concur :rolleyes:

What? With the time warp??

I don't know what you mean because no "G" movie has the word shit in it.

Third time's the charm, it was a 15.

I doubt you have seen every 'G' rated movie or read all the transcrispts of the dialogue.
It's the same principle as the jaborwocky - "no-one can say something does not exist until they have seen it not existing". There is one I am am sure.

It's not a film, but the Chipmunks sang Coward of the County without changing the gang raping reference.
One day while he was workin' the Gatlin boys came callin'.
They took turns at Becky.... There was three of them!

They realized their error when they released the Urban Chipmunk on CD.

Well, we all make mistakes. Apparently Saddammnm Hussain watched it it custody in 2006.

Liberal is by far the worse swear word ever.:p

I consider Bush to be worse. A lady's pubic thatch should not have such power.

There is a reason for it to be rated "G", if it has language such as the word shit then I don't understand how it could have such a rating. "G" films are meant for the youngest of kids and profanity is not included in that. Perhaps I should adjust my statement and say I don't know any American movies of that rating with such language. A single "ass" or "bitch" will get an instant bump to "PG" and that would be undesirable.

I doubt that very much. Have you never seen a film that you treasured in your youth only to watch it in adulthood and think at certain parts "Christ, I never knew what that meant until now!" I won't start on the Americans as it is unfair on a limit of reason.

From the MPAA (http://www.mpaa.org/FlmRat_Ratings.asp) website:

Rated G: "This is a film which contains nothing in theme, language, nudity and sex, violence, etc. that would, in the view of the Rating Board, be offensive to parents whose younger children view the film. The G rating is not a certificate of approval nor does it signify a children?s film.

Some snippets of language may go beyond polite conversation but they are common everyday expressions. No stronger words are present in G-rated films. The violence is at a minimum. Nudity and sex scenes are not present, nor is there any drug use content."

PG: "This is a film which clearly needs to be examined by parents before they let their children attend. The label PG plainly states parents may consider some material unsuitable for their children, but leaves the parent to make the decision. Parents are warned against sending their children, unseen and without inquiry, to PG-rated movies. The theme of a PG-rated film may itself call for parental guidance. There may be some profanity in these films. There may be some violence or brief nudity. However, these elements are not considered so intense as to require that parents be strongly cautioned beyond the suggestion of parental guidance. There is no drug use content in a PG-rated film. The PG rating, suggesting parental guidance, is thus an alert for examination of a film by parents before deciding on its viewing by their children. Obviously such a line is difficult to draw. In our pluralistic society it is not easy to make judgments without incurring some disagreement. As long as parents know they must exercise parental responsibility, the rating serves as a meaningful guide and as a warning. "

I suppose some G films may have some innuendo in them but the kind of language you are talking about can't be allowed, the MPAA wouldn't allow it and let the film keep its low rating.

Again C S Lewis springs to mind. So does South Park - Dispicable deplorable violence is O.K as long as there are no naughty words (blame Canada).

Have you seen such a film (a 'G' with naughty words) not existing?

I agree that people worry far too much about certain words being "bad." However, as things stand no G rated movie has "naughty words" because that's part of the definition of a G rating.

jesus titty-fucking christ

I'm curious... like what G-rated movie did this happen with you?

Oh and the South Park movie was not Rated G the latest Narnia Movie also wasn't rated G.

and if you're talking about the Series or the Narnia cartoons, they were made for TV only.

Not that it's a film, but I distinctly heard Homer Simpson use the word 'wanker' in an episode of The Simpsons. He'd just been watching a British sitcom. I guess that word doesn't mean anything in American English, but it kind of freaked me to hear it used on TV at about 6.02pm.

Nope, really doesn't mean anything in American. Neither does Bollocks.

Incidentally - they've re-edited it so that the whole episode is ruined!

Transformers: The Movie had the word "shit" in it.

As in:

*Unicron destroys a planet*
Spike: OH, SHIT! Now what are we gonna do?!

Something like that, anyway. Maybe Spike's space station got eaten first. It's been awhile.

It was PG, not G, though. Sorry.

It has a little meaning in some parts of America. It's mostly used as a light version of "fuckface". And bullocks means "bullshit", to some Americans.
