The film next features author Hunter S. Thompson in his final documented interview. "Fuck" later includes archival footage of comedians Lenny Bruce and George Carlin, and analysis of the word's use in popular culture, from "MASH" (1970) to "Scarface" (1983) and "Clerks" (1994). Carlin's 1972 monologue "Seven Words You Can Never Say on Television" is excerpted in the film. Journalist Sam Donaldson comments on the versatility of "fuck": "It's one of those all-purpose words." Bill Maher comments, "It's the ultimate bad word", observing that thanks to Lenny Bruce, comedy clubs have become "the freest free-speech zone" in the United States.
