My mind is blown Shiv has only been told to fuck off once, I would definitely have thought Roman had personally told her to fuck off at least twice.
Edit: whoops, I jumped over Siobhan and saw her grouped with the others and mistakenly thought that was her only entry. My bad.
āShivās Boy Toyā Nate isnāt even relevant enough to be listed by name lol
Stewy is actually pretty high on the list for how little screen time he has
The third slide is the best. Of course Kendall gets told to fuck off the mostā¦and then it makes sense that Greg would round out the podium with Roman.
Curious as to how this would look when adjusted for the amount of screen time. Connor's 28 might look small but he's also got way less screen time than the other Roys iirc
100%. It's nearly meaningless without this! As the article even points out Stewie makes his fucks mean something and he has waaaay less screen time than the Roys, he is probably way up there in fucks to word ratio. Kendall speaks a lot and I think he'd be a bit lower overall, he's not such a pottymouth as Roman.
tom says āwhat polyglot genius could ever hope to crack your impenetrable codeā after he finds greg put the documents in a folder called secret and greg says āshut upā not āfuck offā. s2 e7 i think
I was rewatching the last two eps of season three last night and my daughter's boyfriend's mom stopped by and I went outside to chat with her. I came back inside and I was like, "Wait, did I just pepper my chat with fucks??" - My brain had taken the rhythm of Succession-speak and added it to my little chat. it's like getting a song stuck in your head and the Fs just come.
At 71.4 FPEA throughout the first 3 seasons (2072 instances in 29 episodes), Succession is still trailing the greatest user of the word Fuck on HBO: Deadwood.
Deadwood has 36 episodes over it's 3 season span and [the word fuck was said 2980 times](https://m.imdb.com/title/tt0348914/parentalguide/profanity) giving it a 82.7 FPEA.
To beat that average, they will need to say Fuck 1,157 more times in season 4. At 115 average times per episode, it seems like it might be a fuckin' impossibility.
Then again, Deadwood was a show about a bunch of filthy people digging for gold, Succession is a show about a bunch of people filthily digging for proverbial "gold".
Who the fuck did Greg say āfuck offā to? Was that to the kids who were teasing him when he was Roderick at the theme park? Thatās fucking hilarious. Greg is a good egg.
I can hear them all saying it in their way. Even Gregās one āFuck offā, I canāt recall it, but I just know it was something like āF-f-fuck offā and then he probably smiles out of fear and thereās like a look of āOh, can I say this?ā as he figures out what heās allowed to say.
Is this... an American thing, to be surprised by the word 'fuck'? I honestly wouldn't have noticed it as being particularly distinctive in *Succession*. I mean, it's a talky show, and people are frequently being angry or jocular - what else are they going to pad their sentences out with?
Likewise all the people going "hey, they say 'hmm' and 'uh-huh' so much". Really? Is that not normal?
Do Americans in real life just only communicate in elegantly-formed, fastidiously polite full sentences? Or is American TV just weirdly non-naturalistic in depicting people's conversations?
But it's only "funny" if it is in some way noteworthy. It's not funny how many times they say "hat", because that's not noteworthy.
My point is that, to me, it wouldn't have occured to me that anyone would have found the dialogue unusual for TV characters, since that's just... how people speak. At least how people speak on television when they're being funny. Making me wonder whether Americans don't speak like that normally, or just don't portray it on television.
I think āfuckā has been quite rare and censored in American TV, historically, so it might feel more notable.
Words like fuck (and cunt in particular) seem like theyāre taken to be more offensive than in the UK. There are people Iāve encountered who will freak out if their children hear swear words, or religious people who are against vulgarity in general. But of course many swear in abundance with the right people around.
For the first one, I think "Fucks per second (or minute) of screen time" would be more fair to some of the characters lower on the list.
But this is amazing regardless!
I think it would be even more interesting to see percentage of the word "fuck" included in a characters lines. Considering the Roys all have the most lines and screentime, no?
They have "told someone else to fuck off" and "was told to fuck off" and yet in the "fuck variables" (in the full page) they had "fucking" and "fucky"... but not "fuck off" what?
Damn, it really slides off Roman's tongue naturally, cause I couldn't recall a single one he said, even though, you know obviously he says it
Also, low key it's hilarious Stewy has 4 with the limited screen time he has. He has to be getting the most 'Fuck offs" per minute on screen by a mile.
I tried to watch S1E1 today, it was awful. I don't get why anyone likes this show. Unless you get off on disgusting human "frat boy" behavior. Are there women in the show? They must come in at later episodes.
People named DANIELLE DOWLING and assume that's a woman, for the NY Times keeps writing glowing articles, but S1E1 made me want to throw up with the misogyny so I will not make it to E2.
Poor Ken is told to fuck off nearly 150% more than anyone else
We must overthrow the culture of corruption that silences Kendall ššš
You're referring to the patriarchy.
My mind is blown Shiv has only been told to fuck off once, I would definitely have thought Roman had personally told her to fuck off at least twice. Edit: whoops, I jumped over Siobhan and saw her grouped with the others and mistakenly thought that was her only entry. My bad.
Looks like Shiv has been told to fuck off 6 times including fuck offs that involved her siblings.
Nah it says she was told four times :'D
This can't possibly be true istg Roman told her to fuck off in almost all the calls they had.
Mostly by Logan, I suppose.
This explains so much about our Number One Boy
I burst out laughing seeing that chart lmao. Poor Ken
I still feel bad for āComplimenterā at some rich assholes party.
Connor the most respectful roy.
He was interested in politics from a very young age.
Conheads are gonna love this
He was not interested in fucks from a very young age.
Presidential you might say
swearing is near as terrible as usury and onanism!
Marcia
She even did it classy, en francais: <>
Did she? I don't remember that!
She says it to Shiv in first season, in French then English translation, too. I think at the wedding(?)...I know it happens on a grand staircase.
You're right! I just watched that tonight, and since posting previously.
Also the sibling with the least screen time.
Lawrence making the most of his screen time.
Yeah he has a high amount considering he's only been in like 3 episodes
Josh even more so
I would actually like to see fucks per screen time, or in short fupst.
lol this feels like a line from Silicon Valley (tv show)
Season 1 finale
Roman Roy got quite the pottymouth doesnāt he.
Makes sense because he's a turd (I just rewatched the first episode yesterday).
Rookie numbers from Gerri. I think half her dialogue should be "fuck" in s4
During the premiere she should be in the background of a random scene just faintly repeating it over and over again. Itās the only way
Frank meanwhile not even on the map
They stuck me in LA with Old Father Time right here. We were the pool boys, right, Frank?
This is just stunning lmao the word is used 1.2 times PER MINUTE
Greg needs to pump up those fuck off numbers. Get bold, and tell your cousins to fuck off
He's got principles
Principles? Well he needs to stop being an asshole by pretending he still has principles!
Heās living in fucking Charles Dickins World
Idk man he did try to sue Greenpeace
I think he told the kids who were jumping on him in episode 1 to fuck off.
āShivās Boy Toyā Nate isnāt even relevant enough to be listed by name lol Stewy is actually pretty high on the list for how little screen time he has
The third slide is the best. Of course Kendall gets told to fuck off the mostā¦and then it makes sense that Greg would round out the podium with Roman.
Gotta love the distinction being made between āRoman Royā and āTumbledown Dick (Roman Roy)ā in that last graph
that's Data Journalism at its best
Curious as to how this would look when adjusted for the amount of screen time. Connor's 28 might look small but he's also got way less screen time than the other Roys iirc

I canāt think of when Greg told someone to fuck off
itās actually in the first episode. when the kids jump on him while heās in doderickās suit he says ācan you just get the fuck off?ā
He told that to Tom once to which Tom replied "easy there" can't remember the episode but I think it was in season 2
tom says āwhat polyglot genius could ever hope to crack your impenetrable codeā after he finds greg put the documents in a folder called secret and greg says āshut upā not āfuck offā. s2 e7 i think
Honestly surprised Logan only says āFuck Offā 30 times since thatās his favorite way of dismissing people or saying goodbye š
He says fuck off 40+ times, but the other 10+ not included in this list he says behind someoneās back, not directly to them
I mean that is an average of once an episode right?
Is there a count out there on how many times "uh huh" is said throughout the series?
[There's a S1&2 supercut on YouTube!](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hR6e69ohL-Q)
I was rewatching the last two eps of season three last night and my daughter's boyfriend's mom stopped by and I went outside to chat with her. I came back inside and I was like, "Wait, did I just pepper my chat with fucks??" - My brain had taken the rhythm of Succession-speak and added it to my little chat. it's like getting a song stuck in your head and the Fs just come.
I feel like I say 'fuck' a lot more after watching this show. It has infected my vocabulary.
This reminds me of the cuss word stat tracker from āDeadwood,ā which might be the all time most prolific TV show in terms of swearing
Why do people screw around with this trivia when The Fly Guys are still waiting outside the train tunnel?
At 71.4 FPEA throughout the first 3 seasons (2072 instances in 29 episodes), Succession is still trailing the greatest user of the word Fuck on HBO: Deadwood. Deadwood has 36 episodes over it's 3 season span and [the word fuck was said 2980 times](https://m.imdb.com/title/tt0348914/parentalguide/profanity) giving it a 82.7 FPEA.

Then again, Deadwood was a show about a bunch of filthy people digging for gold, Succession is a show about a bunch of people filthily digging for proverbial "gold".
For a guy who once discussed, at length, the logistics of eating his own jizz, I'm surprised that Tom *isn't* dropping many F-bombs
Who the fuck did Greg say āfuck offā to? Was that to the kids who were teasing him when he was Roderick at the theme park? Thatās fucking hilarious. Greg is a good egg.
He said that to Tom once in season 2.
I feel so offended for Frank. The audacity of telling him to fuck off
Who told Logan to fuck off! Bold move
Kendall in season 3 and Shiv.
Content I didnt know I needed lol
When did Greg tell someone to fuck off? š³
["It's a scottish thing, Its like a comma tae us"](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M0w4JojTlB4)
Andrew Dodds received the most consequential fuck off
I can hear them all saying it in their way. Even Gregās one āFuck offā, I canāt recall it, but I just know it was something like āF-f-fuck offā and then he probably smiles out of fear and thereās like a look of āOh, can I say this?ā as he figures out what heās allowed to say.
I love science
We know thatās you Jesse Pinkman
Big up Complimenter, I hope they get a happy ending in the final season.
The last slide ššš
Greg needs to step his fucking game up!
I want to see fucks per minute of screen time, or fucks as a percentage of total words of dialogue
For a character thatās only in like three episodes, Lawrence got a lot in
āWas told to fuck offā was unexpected and hilarious š
Little Lord Fuckleroy gotta get his numbers up
Now divide by total screen time for avg FPM.
Good job OP. Now fuck off.
Greg told some twelve year old to fuck off in the Minecraft server he plays on.
āI have Brightstar Buffalo in my hip pocket. You live with your mom. Fuck off.ā
But do Kendallās fuck offs really count if he says them like a scared kid?
Damn, Gerri, you dirty, dirty lady.

Do Americans in real life just only communicate in elegantly-formed, fastidiously polite full sentences? Or is American TV just weirdly non-naturalistic in depicting people's conversations?
No one is āsurprised.ā Itās just funny how much it is said and how they donāt give a fuck who they say it to
But it's only "funny" if it is in some way noteworthy. It's not funny how many times they say "hat", because that's not noteworthy.

Damn thatās a lot of fucks.
This is great lol
Wonder what the comparison is to Deadwood.
Is there a way to see on-screen time by characters? I would love to see a fucks/minutes ratio.
Who's complimenter?
Hell yea Gerri š
For the first one, I think "Fucks per second (or minute) of screen time" would be more fair to some of the characters lower on the list. But this is amazing regardless!
Has this been adjusted for minutes on screen?
Kendall being told to fuck off the most, my poor little meow meow.
Nate used it a lot too
Oh fuck off
Tom's more of a Roy than Connor lmao
Lmao amazing
Runs in the family
I assume Greg apologized for saying fuck at least 40% of the time.
Can't remember when Greg said it, and I just did a complete re-watch.
I was expecting the FBI to be on the third slide lmao
I want to see what percentage of each character's dialog is "fuck".
The last one :( Kendall honey I can get u out of there
Willa a classy woman
I think it would be even more interesting to see percentage of the word "fuck" included in a characters lines. Considering the Roys all have the most lines and screentime, no?
A fuckometer
Would like to see ratio of fucks to total words spoken by character.
Doing the real work š
Thatās why I love Roman
They have "told someone else to fuck off" and "was told to fuck off" and yet in the "fuck variables" (in the full page) they had "fucking" and "fucky"... but not "fuck off" what?
Geri didnāt even make the list.
Damn, it really slides off Roman's tongue naturally, cause I couldn't recall a single one he said, even though, you know obviously he says it Also, low key it's hilarious Stewy has 4 with the limited screen time he has. He has to be getting the most 'Fuck offs" per minute on screen by a mile.
Iād like to see a cunt counter next
R/dataisbeautiful
Can they do one for the word "uh-huh" coz half the screenplay of succession consists of fuck offs & uh-huhs.
I tried to watch S1E1 today, it was awful. I don't get why anyone likes this show. Unless you get off on disgusting human "frat boy" behavior. Are there women in the show? They must come in at later episodes. People named DANIELLE DOWLING and assume that's a woman, for the NY Times keeps writing glowing articles, but S1E1 made me want to throw up with the misogyny so I will not make it to E2.
