Samuel L. Jackson says there’s “no way” Jonah Hill has cursed more in films than him
If only The Last Days Of Ptolemy Grey star's favorite curse word was given double weight on the list
Aux News Samuel L. Jackson
In his years of being an onscreen icon, Samuel L. Jackson has monopolized the market on one thing specifically: articulating a curse like it’s an art form. He’s personally made the eloquent swear of “motherfucker” a catchphrase of his, even nearly getting to say it in the PG-13 Avengers: Infinity War before his badass spy Nick Fury gets rudely cut off via The Snap. Yet somehow, the King of Cinematic Cursing has been usurped by another.
While on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, news of his loss was revealed to the Pulp Fiction actor. The list (oddly enough curated by gambling site Buzz Bingo) had given the top spot for “Most Swear Words in Movie History” to Jonah Hill, with the second spot gifted to Hill’s The Wolf Of Wall Street costar Leonardo DiCaprio. They can thank Martin Scorsese’s film about weaselly Wall Street bros for their winnings, as the survey has it as the number one most “foul-mouth film” with a whopping 715 expletives.
“That’s some bullshit,” exclaimed Jackson to a laughing audience before correcting himself to a more FCC approved, “I mean, no way man!”
Locking in the third spot is Jackson with 301 accounted for swear words, making it a close call since Hill has 376 and DiCaprio comes in at 361. “I don’t believe that,” said Jackson. “Somebody has miscounted.”
With the Buzz Bingo survey being done in 2020, the results could vary with all of Jackson’s new films within those three years. Let’s not forget that not one, but two The Hitman’s Bodyguard movies have been released, featuring a “motherfucker”-heavy Jackson.
Unless Adam Sandler (holding tight at the fourth spot) somehow spits out a few swears court-side as the down on his luck basketball scout in Hustle, it looks pretty promising Jackson will wear the crown in the near future.

Hmm. I don’t believe him.
Tinseltown’s biggest swearer would say there’s “no FUCKING way.”Get out of the way, old man. There’s a new potty-mouth in town – and he wears shirts in the pool when he swims.
“and he wears shirts in the pool when he swims.”Because fuck cancer.
Dude, it’s still broadcast TV, so The Tonight Show would get in trouble with the FCC
No they wouldn’t. The Tonight Show is pre-taped. They would just bleep it in the actual broadcast and everyone would laugh.
Jackson’s got the clout in Hollywood to get things done. He should just produce Motherfucker: The Film himself in order to get into the top spot of cinematic cussin’.
You’re thinking too small! Motherfucker: the Musical! Smash Broadway hit followed by filmed theatrical version hitting screens next July! It’s the cross-cultural phenomenon we need in these dark times!
Written and directed by Lin-Manuel Miranda, natch, because lord knows nobody’s had enough of him, yet.
Also starring Bret McKenzie and Jemaine Clement!
“Cross-cultural” STFU with your cringe ass.
It took me a few days to get around to it, but I took a look at your comment history and I can say with 100% certainty that you’re a terrible piece of shit. Literally every comment is you telling people to GTFO or STFU or talking shit on Trans people or claiming that you’re SOOOOOO incredibly smart. You’re a repellant shithead of a human being who needs therapy. I hesitated to comment, because it’s only giving you the attention you so transparently crave but I figured you should know that it’s painfully obvious what an utter knob you are.
He plays a Groot-like character whose language is entirely made up of the words I am Groot “mother” and “fucker”.
Imagine having to write up bland appearances on the Jimmy Fallon show as “articles.”
A job that can only be accomplished in California.
To be fair, it was 73 degrees and sunny today in Los Angeles.
Yeah, sounds great.
Even worse, imagine clicking and commenting just to complain. At least the shitty writers are paid to be here.
STFU boot licker.
He’s been pretty dull for twenty years. Glad he’s enjoyed the success after so many years of struggle as a bit player, tho. The guy earned it.
Now I want to calculate all of the swearwords uttered on film and television by Mr. Jackson and all of the swear words uttered in the entire run of The Thick Of It, and compare the total sum of each and see who comes out on top. What do you think, sirs?
Thick Of It wins on creativity, surely.
Jonah’s had a lot of time to catch up, since Sam’s mostly starred in Marvel movies for the past 10-12 years. Also telling that Leonardo DiCaprio’s above him too…clearly Wolf of Wall Street is chock-full of fucks.
Marvel straight up swallowed a significant portion of his career, and it’s kind of sad. Same with RDJ
