I would argue the value distribution is not even tho. Im sure his iconic "motherfucker" and the movies in which he used it have contributed disproportionally more to this success. πŸ€“

[–] MiltownClowns@lemmy.world 37 points 8 months ago (2 children)

Your showing your confirmatuon bias. Marvel earnings weigh heavily in his total box office haul and he didnt swear in any of them. I think we're gonna need more graphs, to really get to the true value of the motherfucker.

[–] atomicorange@lemmy.world 25 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Would he have been cast for his Marvel role if he never said β€œmotherfucker” in previous iconic roles? It’s impossible to detangle the impact of motherfucker from his success. If we could quantify the value of every word prior to his first on-screen motherfucker, and compare with his post-motherfucker value-per-word that might help support the hypothesis that motherfuckers are worth more.

Couldn't have said it better myself motherfucker.

[–] cumcum69@lemmy.world 20 points 8 months ago

He got a "motherfu-" in infinity war

[–] FiniteBanjo@lemmy.today 5 points 8 months ago

NGL when I watched the Robocop remakes I was waiting for him to get mad and say it and I was disappointed every time his scenes ended until finally on the last one he did it, I was excited to say the least.

[–] vulgarcynic@sh.itjust.works 45 points 8 months ago

Samuel L. Jackson. The L stands for motherfucker.

[–] atomicorange@lemmy.world 42 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago) (1 children)

156 movies!? That’s like 3 per year since the β€˜70s! That motherfucker works hard.

[–] dangblingus@lemmy.dbzer0.com 11 points 8 months ago (1 children)

And he only started working in the late 80s. And only then very infrequently.

[–] Blyfh@lemmy.world 3 points 8 months ago (1 children)

And you're telling me that around 50.7 % of everything he said was the word "Motherfucker"? Somehow I can't believe that.

[–] blujan@sopuli.xyz 2 points 8 months ago (1 children)

No, he didn't say that amount per movie but in all of his movies, so it's actually a very low percentage

[–] Blyfh@lemmy.world 1 points 8 months ago

Ah, thanks. I missed a "per movie".

[–] JoShmoe@ani.social 33 points 8 months ago (2 children)

I am sick of these motherfking posts on this motherfking thread

[–] yum@lemmy.eco.br 29 points 8 months ago

Markdown moment

[–] vale@sh.itjust.works 4 points 8 months ago (1 children)

using a backslash before the asterisk will prevent the markdown interpreting it

I am sick of these motherf*cking posts on this motherf*cking thread

[–] JoShmoe@ani.social 2 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

motherf**cking thanks

[–] Johanno@feddit.de 21 points 8 months ago (1 children)

So you are telling me that if we combine every scene where he says motherfucker we have half a movie?

I would watch him saying motherfucker for 2 hours straight.

[–] bravesirrbn@lemmy.world 11 points 8 months ago (1 children)

It's probably up on YouTube already

[–] PeriodicallyPedantic@lemmy.ca 17 points 8 months ago

But how much money did he make with the word "the"?

[–] tombruzzo@lemm.ee 16 points 8 months ago (1 children)

It's called having a personal brand, sweaty.

[–] lemmyseikai@lemmy.world 7 points 8 months ago

I am sure they have cooled off by the time they posted this XD

[–] tygerprints@kbin.social 11 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago) (1 children)

Why that successful li'l mtherfcker.

In Canadian and European magazines, if they are quoting someone and they used the word "fuck," then they just print it as "fuck." But in the U.S. they still print it as "fck." Nobody would guess what word they really had said. Because in America we're still too puritanical to accept that "fck" means "fuck."

[–] feedum_sneedson@lemmy.world 1 points 8 months ago (1 children)

What about c*m, s*men and p*ssyhole? I'm just asking questions.

[–] tygerprints@kbin.social 1 points 8 months ago (1 children)

I'm all for them! I just wish we could be adults in America and actually say, Cum semen and pussyhole (and fuck) without having to put these thingies *** in the middle. These thingies *** look like little assholes anyway. Won't someone please think of the children, and just print fuck if you mean "fuck?"

[–] feedum_sneedson@lemmy.world 1 points 8 months ago (1 children)

You're right; they do like like tiny, pitch-black anuses, don't they.

[–] tygerprints@kbin.social 1 points 8 months ago

Or they could be tiny spiders! EEEEEEEK!!!

[–] HEXN3T@lemmy.blahaj.zone 10 points 8 months ago

Aye, but that is only the best take. He has said many more words than that.

[–] affiliate@lemmy.world 10 points 8 months ago

nobody does it better

[–] dangblingus@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 8 months ago

I think it's a little higher than half.

[–] turkishdelight@lemmy.ml 6 points 8 months ago (1 children)

is there a theydidthemath community on lemmy?

[–] LemmyKnowsBest@lemmy.world 6 points 8 months ago

I found it! of course it's dead though.

!TheyDidTheMath@kbin.social

[–] 7heo@lemmy.ml 4 points 8 months ago

Lucky motherfucker.

[–] Fuck_u_spez_@sh.itjust.works 3 points 8 months ago (1 children)

James Lipton interviewed him once for Inside the Actors Studio. You'll never guess what Jackson's favorite curse word is.

[–] kindenough@kbin.social 2 points 8 months ago

No worries mate, I don't understand either why they don't mention him by his full name, Samuel Leroy Jackson.
