The American movie rating system is ridiculously outdated and arbitrary, and there is no better example of this than the PG-13 “one fuck” rule. At an age where children are no doubt hearing f-bombs and worse, every time they step into school, Hollywood has decided that if a movie wants to maintain its “for teens” identity, they better limit their fucks to just one.
While stupid at its core, the "one fuck rule" has become something of an easter egg, with writers and directors deliberately placing their most potent f-bomb bullet. Recently, Guardians of the Galaxy 3 dropped the first f-bomb in any MCU movie, leading @Bolverk15 to post this tweet.
Age ratings feel dumb and arbitrary most of the time, but writers trying to figure out when to drop their single F bomb in a family movie for maximum effect resulted in some great comedic bits pic.twitter.com/xDQT7wEArM

In response, dozens of people shared their favorite instances of the PG-13 f-bomb. From Marvel to Anchorman, please enjoy these movies that gave a fuck when their fuck was given.

Brett and I were literally talking about this scene earlier. PG-13 f-bombs are the best f-bombs https://t.co/BLn33eFaV6 pic.twitter.com/e9bTN1nh0C
