What we can’t wait to watch
History Of Swear Words
Ring in the new year with some good old-fashioned cursing, as Funny Or Die and Netflix celebrate the greatest profanities in the English language – the F-word, the S-word, the B-word, the D-word, the P-word and another, less contentious D-word (damn). This six-part series mixes chatty asides from comedians with serious etymological investigation by literary professionals, kind of like those old Comedy Central shows that remembered the 90s. But this show is hosted by Nicolas Cage, in the role he was born to play: a thoughtful pop-culture personality who has more than a passing familiarity with, and enthusiasm for, swearing at high volume.
