I'm sure many of you have seen a movie aired on television before, and whether you liked or not you watched simply because there was nothing else on. If you're like me, you might actually enjoying certain movies MORE on tv because of editing that... someone, somewhere thought was clever. You don't have to know the televised movie inside and out to catch these odd moments where an F-bomb gets deactivated, but sometimes it helps decipher the terrible edits.
After recently watching Wedding Crashers for the X time on broadcast tv, and finding it more humerous with the select word edits, I decided to start this thread in order to hear about any other crazy word switches the rest of you might of heard in your life time!
I'll start of course.. As mentioned above, Wedding Crashers was the inspiration for this, because every single time Vince Vaughn's character exclaimed "Jesus Christ!" it was replaced with "Cheese & Rice!" What made this funnier, and maybe I'm the only one who would of caught this, is that his character is constantly eating in this film, so having this big guy yell out "CHEESE & RICE" everytime some crazy **** goes down is hilarious to me.
Another personal favorite of mine comes from the classic movie Back To The Future. I can't exactly recall if it was the original or sequel, hell I can't even recall the scene but its one of the funniest edits I've ever heard. At one point, Michael J. Fox's character exclaims "holy ****!" in the original film, but on certain tv broadcasts its overdubbed as "holy geez!"
Now, it may not be as funny withought hearing it, but thats because this was before actors would be asked to dub lines over their original work, so often times someone else would have to dub words in and they would never sound anything like the actor. To me these are usually the best kinds of edits.
If possible, I might try to hunt down some clips of such edits, but until then I encourage everyone to share what kinda ridiculous word swaps you've heard before.
