Reminiscent of this scene from the 1981 teen-slasher parody, Student Bodies:
> Announcer: Ladies and gentlemen, in order to achieve an "R" rating today, a motion picture must contain full frontal nudity, graphic violence, or an explicit reference to the sex act. Since this film has none of those, and since research has proven that R-rated films are by far the most popular with the moviegoing public, the producers of this motion picture have asked me to take this opportunity to say "Fuck you."
> [the MPAA R-rating logo appears on the screen]

- bena 5d agoFear of a Black Hat, a rap mockumentary in the same vein as This is Spinal Tap, begins with a warning about the language in the movie that's essentially them repeating the offending words three or four times. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_fmaaZtINRU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_fmaaZtINRU
- ratelimitsteve 5d agoJoke's on you, as standards loosen now PG-13 movies get up to eleven "fuck"s to distribute throughout the film (nineteen for documentaries)
- HWR_14 5d agoPG-13 didn't exist in 1981. It went straight from PG to R. So less loosening of restrictions, and more adding gradation.
- SoftTalker 5d agoToday's 13 year olds say that word more times than that before breakfast.
- lo_zamoyski 5d agoWhich is, of course, a bad thing that ought not to be encouraged and that ubiquity does, in fact, encourage and normalize.
- classichasclass 5d agoAnd one of the rare incidences of the MPAA ratings banner appearing in the middle of a film.
