That’s because the kids don’t want to out themselves to the parents that they know what’s up.

We had knockers in kids films in the 80s

I don't think its a new trend. Scott Pilgrim in 2010 was rated PG-13 but had multiple bleeped "fucks."

It kind of is though

Why does that matter?

This post is talking about kids' movies. Scott Pilgrim is PG-13. It's not a kids' movie.
NicCageCompletionist t1_j5gg2lj wrote
And the original post was asking if the rating system had become more lax. The Scott Pilgrim comment seems related to that.

Not really true, like MCU and Star Wars movies are PG13 and those are kids movies

Sometimes the implication of what was bleeped is more impactful than hearing the actual swears.

Bleeps kind of don’t exist anymore (with the internet and streaming). It’s just kind of a joke made for parents.

It’s a fun joke. That’s it.
Kartopery t1_j5gas3r wrote
It’s just a fun gag, because it’s unexpected. Everyone knows the swear words (including the kids) but nobody expects them in the movie, so when they’re bleeped, it’s funny because you didn’t think that was coming. I don’t think it’s deeper than that.

I think its so the kids won't hear them

It’s a way of being edgy while still staying PG.

Funny joke.
Like, Salma Hayek’s “All I smell is bullSH-“ line in Puss in Boot 2 was funny

Like what?
I know the ratings systems, and what was or wasn’t allowed has changed a lot over the last 100+ years but I don’t recall ever seeing a PG movie with tits lol
I also wasn’t alive in the 80s so I’m genuinely curious if you remember any specifically.

Dragnet (1987)
There’s a pole dancer whose breasts are almost entirely exposed besides her nipples.
The movie wasn’t rated PG in the US but it was in some other territories and this is still an example of how movies from like Pre-90s got away with more than most movies today that aren’t just rated R.

Well thanks for the reply! There is a definitely a noticeable difference in the PG titles I have seen. Just couldn’t recall anything quite as vulgar as what the original comment I replied to was suggesting.

Regardless of the rating systems, I think the bleeping of words in kids movies can be funny if they do it clever. The gold standard for me (while not a movie) is that episode of spongebob where everytime they said a swear word it came out as a dolphin sound. But they even somehow conjugated the same sound so every adult knew exactly what the swear word was and it would go over a kids head.

Sailor mouth?

That’s the one.

It was funny in Next Gen but Puss in Boots felt like it was ripping it off.

I took my kid to see Puss in Boots at the cinema and I’m pretty sure the bleeped bits felt like they were there specifically for parents. Not one kid laughed but all the adults giggled.
