My buddy and I used to get drunk and watch that Jay and Silent Bob part on repeat, trying out the various different languages on the DVD. Hilarious, although I haven't watched the movie in years.

Sometimes the profanity is excessive, most times it's not. It depends on the character.

The first thing I thought of was:

<object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/8Ae7lVqhinM&hl=en_US&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/8Ae7lVqhinM&hl=en_US&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>

^ The word "fuck" and its variations are used 522 times, an average of 4.25 times per minute, a higher rate than any other film to date

The word "****" is used 82 times in this film.

I agree with you it depends on the story. I think the cursing in American History X blended well with the story.

Yikes....522 times. And I thought "fuck" was used a lot in "Jay & Silent Bob", I read it was only used 235 times there.

There are entirely too many comics that don't understand that their craft is predicated on their creative and thoughtful use of language. A well-placed word can send good material over the top, as has been demonstrated by many of the masters. Unfortunately, too many misunderstood the lesson and believe that those words are, themselves, what makes material good.

I agree 100%.
