they don’t call it Saturday Night Live
for nothing welcome to watchmojo.com and
today we’re counting down our picks for
the top 10 celebs who accidentally
dropped the f-bomb on SNL before we
begin we publish new videos every day so
be sure to subscribe for more great
content for this list we’re ranking the
most impactful instances of celebrities
dropping that infamous curse word during
the live comedy broadcast we’re
including cast members hosts and musical
guests for this list and sure maybe not
all of these verbal gaps were perfectly
accidental but they certainly made for
some memorable television number 10
samuel l.jackson the first f-bomb on our
list has a little bit of controversy you
see many in the audience at home and in
the SNL studio swore they’d heard samuel
l.jackson blurt out his cuss word during
Kenan Thompson’s hilarious what up with
that sketch but there is no definitive
proof
Thompson even rolled with the apparent
mistake laughing that those kind of
words cost money
Jackson claimed after the show that he
stopped short of dropping the full f
bomb and that Kenan was supposed to
interrupt him before the final K we’ll
let you judge for yourself who’s right
did you say that yes number nine Steven
Tyler
once again Aerosmith was on SNL back in
1990 and made it a memorable episode by
dropping in on Mike Myers and Dana
Carvey in a Wayne’s World sketch for a
bit of fun Almighty was not everyone was
laughing later on when the band took to
the stage as the episodes musical guest
however as they performed monkey on my
back from the album pump frontman Steven
Tyler couldn’t be bothered to censor
himself on this night and chose to blurt
out one of the songs lines quote feeding
that King monkey off my back
without restraint
[Music]
number eight Morris Day comes with
Steven Tyler and Aerosmith maybe the
first musical culprits on our list to
drop an f-bomb but they will not be the
last Morris Day in the time were a funky
R&B group best known for their
appearance in Princess film Purple Rain
the band’s biggest hit was jungle love
but the time also played the song
chocolate on SNL and it was during this
second performance when they got into a
bit of trouble Morris Day & Co started
up the song just fine but the singer
dropped his f-bomb when the song was
almost finished saying quote where the
this chicken come from I thought I
ordered ribs didn’t come from I thought
I oughta ribs
number 7 Prince speaking of Prince the
purple one himself dropped an f-bomb of
his own nearly 10 years before Morris
Day in the time during a performance of
his song party up Prince never won to
censor himself sang the uncut line quote
fightin war is such a bore
while it also sounds like he might have
said freakin instead we unfortunately
we’ll never know for sure
[Music]
now it makes sense that casual swearing
probably didn’t go over that well with
TV audiences back in 1981 but incredibly
enough Prince’s performance wasn’t even
the last time an f-bomb would be dropped
on that episode never mind this series
run number six
Charles rocket hi Charles rocket in New
York City case in point
Charles rocket rocket was a member of
the SNL cast during the series
disastrous in 1980 1981 season primarily
is host for The Weekend Update segment
rocket was in the middle of a who shot
jr. parody of Dallas during that season
and was in character during this
episodes closing moments it was here
where he remarked now we’re not sure
what possessed rocket to drop such a
casual f-bomb right before the closing
credits but we do know that his stay at
the show did not last much longer as he
was fired midway through the season
[Music]
number five Sam Rockwell’s okay we’re
not sure if we can blame Sam Rockwell
for this 2018 f-bomb as his character on
this parody of 90 science programs was
supposed to be frustrated Rockwell’s mr.
science was gradually losing his
patience with a pair of useless junior
scientists who just don’t seem to have a
clue the sketch appeared to be going
smoothly until Rockwell slipped up with
an f-bomb you can’t beat this stupid to
their credit both Sam and SNL players
Mikey day and Cecily strong kept their
faces straight and carried on which just
goes to show how professional all three
were during what could have been a live
disaster just say what you see okay say
what you see come on number four Norm
Macdonald last weekend in Washington a
new museum dedicated to broadcast jerk
SNL cast member Norm ik dot old got into
the f-word business in 1997 when he
misread his lines from a teleprompter
while hosting Weekend Update MacDonald
muttered quote what was that after the
flub which caused the audience to roar
with laughter farewell performance
the comedian took the gaffe in stride
however remarking that the segment was
his quote farewell performance before
telling the SNL crowd that maybe he’d
see them next week
thankfully the slip-up didn’t cost norm
his job and he went on to continue
killing it on SNL
No number three Jenny slate is my show
either love it
change the frickin channel this entry
might win the best reaction award for
comedian Jenny slate whose unintentional
f-bomb was probably the most memorable
aspect of her SNL tenure during the
2009-2010 season slate was taking part
in a sketch alongside Kristen Wiig when
out of nowhere a line that should have
read quote and I love you for that was
delivered as quote and I fuckin love you
for that you forget just threw an
ashtray full of butts at my head you
know what you stood up for yourself and
I’ve been lucky for that slate
immediately realized her error and her
mortified reaction is just priceless
what’s worse this was on slates very
first episode as a featured player
whoopsy as much as it was important for
me to be like well you know get your ass
back up you know don’t don’t stop I’ve
never would have number two Paul Shaffer
vlog and play on frog in Maine we go all
the way back to 1984 our penultimate pic
and a person who you might not expect to
accidentally drop an f-bomb on live TV
please welcome back to this theater the
great Paul Shaffer yep it was musical
legend and future David Letterman
bandleader Paul Shaffer starring in a
sketch about medieval torture so far so
good right no that was until Shaffer
mistakenly said quote can instead of
flogging surprising everyone on stage
and in the audience but it didn’t hurt
Shaffer that much in the long run so no
harm no foul just faked your fly better
but you don’t fly better
it froze that whole time you know number
one Kristen Stewart
[Applause]
we can’t blame Kristen Stewart for being
just a little bit excited at the
prospect of hosting SNL after all it’s
an honor few dream will ever come their
way maybe that explains why Stewart and
her excitement proclaimed the hosting
gig to be quote the coolest fuckin thing
ever during her opening monologue we’ve
got a good show and I totally carry that
I’m here because honestly though Stewart
80 Bryant and Kate McKinnon left it off
like pros so this one rises to the top
as our favorite f-bomb snafu just
because of the ah shucks good-natured
feeling of it all do you agree with our
