What the hell's so funny about this line?

meow85 said:

I always thought the spin that goes with the line added to it's humor! Also, I think that most people knew that if he heard his Pops walking down the hall to give him an "answer" - that would've been his ass!

I thought it was the spin too, but most people here seem to be laughing at how he says it. Again, what's so funny?

not what he says, but how he says.

is this about prince? or the fifth element?

im confusticated.....

sosgemini said:

It's just the way he says it and then the little spin...oh it is just so funny.

Handclapsfingasnapz said:

Exactly!!! The way Prince (The Kid) said it was priceless!

The way he says it....all proper and shit. You even hear the "r" at the end.

vainandy said:

right...and most people of er..umm.. "color" usually don't pronounce the "r"

vainandy said:

exactly. He says motherfucker instead of muthafucka...he sounds...well...

vainandy said:

Um, there's supposed to be an "r" at the end.

Some people think it's funny when people speak properly. Says a lot about their grasp of the language, now doesn't it?

It's funny cuz he's so tiny and trying to act so tough.

It's funny as fuck.

Anxiety said:

Damn Anxiety! You had to bust out w/the photos. Originally, the writers of this film wanted Prince for this role so it's kind of coincidence that you picked this photo.

that, and he always sounded kinna geeky for the most part when he cursed. it's like, "you ain't got no business cussin, nerd boy! shut up!"

Yes, it does say a lot. I think people are forgeting at one time black people wanted to speak properly and that was in the 60's and 70's when Prince was growing up. He is not Ghetto.

Well whean you see it on the big screen with like 200 P fans and that line comes on Everyone screams it for some reason...and then we all laugh. Probabaly because of the DRAMA!

Since when do curse words need to be spoken properly? This is one of those instances when you don't want to pronounce something as it is traditionally written. A grasp of the language means being able to recognize the difference and when to apply that knowledge.
