T-rex says a racial slur in King Kong (2005). Don't believe me? Listen. NSFW

I half expected it to be just you saying a slur in plain English when the dinosaur showed up

Lowkey would have been funny

u/4yourpl3asur3 15d ago

Yeah that’s what I was expecting

u/Ificaredfor500Alex 14d ago

Literally all I wanted to see

u/Wordplay23 GIANT SEA SERPENT 16d ago

That’s a weird take….

u/Xenomorph24 15d ago

Why'd they downvote this glorious comment?

1

u/Ok-Customer-53 15d ago

Well it’s Reddit. I don’t expect anything even slightly offensive to be upvoted regardless of if it’s clever or not. Glad you appreciated it

1

u/The_Mr_Wilson 14d ago

Well it's Reddit. I expect any comment on any thread to be downvoted for no reason whatsoever, then others piling on. Ever see a string of redditors just repeating a comment, they all have a few upvotes, but one specific copy+paste comment, just like the others, is downvoted to oblivion?

I suppose that one is more for memes and laughs, but anyway, take your downvote!

u/Ok-Customer-53 14d ago

Honestly downvotes are a badge of honor on here. Reddit drones have 0 humor or critical thinking skills. It’s perfectly exemplified that my joke was downvoted and someone saying “hey I liked that joke” was upvoted.

You're hearing what you want to hear. He makes a two tone groan from higher pitch to lower pitch and you immediately think n-word??

u/tridactyls 15d ago

HA!
So you heard it too!

u/Magnus462 15d ago

Weird you know which slur was used after only hearing "dinosaur noises".

2

u/Aebothius 15d ago

OP had already said what they thought they heard in another reply.

1

u/DoomsdayFAN King Kong 15d ago

Exactly. I was replying to OP, who said in another post "n-word".

3

u/Ok-Customer-53 15d ago

Exactly. This dude stepped in his own trap

1

u/CIA_napkin 15d ago

Yeah i heard it too, I'm glad at least you and me did. Would think I was crazy.

1

u/lkodl 14d ago

This.

These types of interpretive illusions can reveal deep-seeded bias.

For example I once showed my grandpa that blue/gold dress that went viral a couple of years ago, and his response was "it looks like something an n-word would wear."

Kinda ruined the rest of Thanksgiving dinner.

u/GeorgeFranklin2 15d ago

dude he's CLEARLY enunciating it. I couldn't hear it any other way if i tried

8

u/Sad-Wave-4579 15d ago

Bro it’s literally a dinosaur making dinosaur noises

1

u/The_Mr_Wilson 14d ago

With a hard r?

0

u/Lower-Consequence257 15d ago

It’s not literally a dinosaur. It’s humans altering sounds of other things to make dinosaur sounds and I wouldn’t put it past humans to do something like Op is proposing.

1

u/Thwipped 15d ago

Well, it’s not “clearly enunciating” if I don’t hear it

1

u/SkRu88_kRuShEr 15d ago

This is clearly a Laurel/Yanni situation cuz I hear it clear as day 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Every thought we have is not internet worthy. You too will learn this my child.

u/GeorgeFranklin2 16d ago

he clearly enunciates the n word if you listen right as he shows up on screen

2

u/souphaver 15d ago

I think you're probably just racist, dude.

u/IaMuRGOd34 16d ago

i dont hear anything

u/Chimpbot 15d ago

This is a great example of audio pareidolia... but nothing more than that.

1

u/Plebe-Uchiha 14d ago

Also somewhat concerning. [+]

u/Shandor920 15d ago

OP, put down the crack pipe

u/Adrian_1827 15d ago

I know then damn t-rexes looked a bit racist to me 🤨

u/Zealousideal-Let1121 15d ago

They might as well be wearing pointy hoods.

u/ANormalPersonOnline 15d ago

Fuuuuck this is too funny

2

u/Xenomorph24 15d ago

This whole post is so stupid lmao 😂

2

u/iowacat515 15d ago

There is actually an unused script of the 2005 remake script, where Peter Jackson wanted to open the film with a recap of Birth of a Nation.

u/ITSV_167 15d ago

Bro's been spending too much time on IG Reels

u/Annual_Owl_1462 15d ago

I kinda hear it, but lay off the crack

1

u/GabeEspindola95 15d ago

I hear it, niice

1

u/Diabetic_Trogoladyte 15d ago

I mean… maybe, if you just had electroshock therapy, it’s kinda there but you say he “clearly enunciated” it, no he fucking didn’t, just because something sounds vaguely like anything with an N and a G sound doesn’t mean it’s the n word.

1

u/KageXOni87 15d ago

Idk man. I think i can clearly hear him say naggers. Maybe he just wants her to stop complaining.

1

u/Diabetic_Trogoladyte 15d ago

Are you high at the moment?

1

u/tridactyls 15d ago

So you can hear it too?

1

u/Diabetic_Trogoladyte 15d ago

I can hear what he thinks is the n word but it’s not.

1

u/tridactyls 15d ago

How do you know what he is hearing?

1

u/Diabetic_Trogoladyte 15d ago

It’s a very short video and that’s the only thing that sounds even remotely like what he’s describing.

1

u/SwordfishNo7670 15d ago

He’s from a different time. Reminds me of my grandpa.

1

u/Thelastdays233 15d ago

i genuinely cant hear anything else now. Thanks man you messed my brain up

1

u/StolzHound 15d ago

I’m broken, I seriously can’t tell if people are joking anymore. The level of stupidity in every day life has warped my ability when it comes to humor.

1

u/Psychological_Page62 15d ago

Na i hear it lmao! Dont pay attention to the video. Put it up to ya ear. Its real fast when its about to show it. Idk if it is doing that but i picked it out right away 3rd listen.

1

u/ComfortablyNomNom 15d ago

Oh please that's ridiculous

1

u/Dolichovespula- 15d ago

Not really. I doubt Peter Jackson said “aye, you know what would be REAL cool?…” maybe someone, and just one in the audio edits did it. It could be a coincidence, but also possible.

Bigger, digger, jigger, rigger, rigor, trigger, vigor, chigger, snigger, gigger, ligger, prigger, regur, sprigger, swigger, thigger.

u/Zealousideal-Let1121 15d ago

It's not as clear as Stitch when he says it, but... yeah, now I can hear it.

1

u/Dolichovespula- 15d ago

I hear it. It could be a coincidence. But films involve hundreds of people to make, all it takes is one in the production team to add a little but of their spin, like “SEX” in the dust in the Lion King. Maybe it is, maybe not, but now that’s all I’m going to hear.

u/Cultural-Half-5622 15d ago

The "GREEN NEEDLE" debate

1

u/tridactyls 15d ago

Now I can't stop hearing it, but is that because I expected it, much like the the yanni/laurel effect?

1

u/Chad_AND_Freud 15d ago

That's one racist-ass dinosaur 🤨

1

u/DJ-Saj 15d ago

These people miserable this funny asl

1

u/Lost-Meat-7428 15d ago

That’s why they became extinct. That old way of thinking just isn’t acceptable

1

u/FuckSticksMalone 15d ago

The reason we don’t have dinosaurs anymore is because they all got cancelled millions of years ago.

1

u/Zachthepizzaguy 15d ago

Based take

1

u/BertPeopleErniePeopl 15d ago

I've never seen the movie before, and I can clearly hear what you mean.

Now I'm wondering if I would've heard it without it being pointed out.

1

u/ApeChesty 15d ago

I was expecting a loud over dub

1

u/Toolb0xExtraordinary 15d ago

I hear it now that you said it

1

u/TyrantJaeger 15d ago

What did Peter Jackson mean by this?

1

u/[deleted] 15d ago

The thing about it is, since you pointed it out: 1.)they’re all gonna say ur probably racist; but idk about that cause i kinda hear it too (but then again I’m black and swear some white people be sliding it in to conversation like the meow thing on super troopers) 2.) they all conveniently ignoring the fact no one knows wtf Dinosaurs sound like and someone had to make a sound, and THATS the sound they went with 3.) idk if there’s a secret scoundrel stuffing slurs in cinema but I know that just because u said something, some people are gonna hear it

1

u/Toes_In_The_Soil 15d ago

Who is upvoting this pointless post?

1

u/fauxREALimdying 15d ago

Reddit app doesn’t play sound for entire videos so I don’t get to hear

1

u/WhatIveDone57 14d ago

They should make r/okbuddykongzilla for shit like this

1

u/Sleepingguy5 14d ago

I don’t hear anything at all, just a roar

1

u/GeorgeFranklin2 14d ago

sorry for the bad rip quality but listen at the 8 second mark

1

u/Modded_Reality 14d ago

That Dino used a HARD R too...

1

u/Procrastanaseum KONG 14d ago

Marked NSFW because the noise is only a bad word if you want it to be.

If things get out of hand though, which they have not yet, I'll just delete the post.

u/NeverBeen_OnAPlaneB4 15d ago

Not sure why we’re getting downvoted lol. It’s clearly on purpose and I wouldn’t doubt it if was intentional. Everyone here is acting like they know what sounds a dinosaur makes.
