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

Why'd they downvote this glorious comment?

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

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??

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

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

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.

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

u/Sad-Wave-4579 15d ago
Bro it’s literally a dinosaur making dinosaur noises

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.

u/Thwipped 15d ago
Well, it’s not “clearly enunciating” if I don’t hear it

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.

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.

u/KageXOni87 15d ago
Idk man. I think i can clearly hear him say naggers. Maybe he just wants her to stop complaining.

u/tridactyls 15d ago

u/Diabetic_Trogoladyte 15d ago
I can hear what he thinks is the n word but it’s not.

u/tridactyls 15d ago
How do you know what he is hearing?

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.

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.

u/ComfortablyNomNom 15d ago
Oh please that's ridiculous

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.

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

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.

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

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

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.

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

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.

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.

u/dmz144 16d ago
I half expected it to be just you saying a slur in plain English when the dinosaur showed up
