Tom Hanks Drops the F-Bomb Live on Good Morning America

Tom Hanks cursing while promoting his new movie 'Cloud Atlas'

[@aaronm2283]

I can remember watching this live as a kid. To this day I still suffer with night terrors and insomnia, because he dropped a f bomb on morning TV. Thanks Tom hanks for ruining my life.

[@mindtreat]

Tom Thanks?

[@RaniaBhatti]

Yea he’s the opps 😤

Please stop. Nothing is more pathetic than unfunny people using tired old jokes and memes in a sad attempt at humor.

[@YodatheHobbit]

We are SOOOO sorry, no one is allowed to curse before 11am. Everyone knows all the kids love talking about Good Morning America in 2023, watching that, not cartoons while they're getting ready for school. It's the hippest show.

[@legoboyo2479]

Oh yeah, definitely gotta get my daily watch of Good Morning America before going to school.

[@FeeForDreams]

why are you saying “in 2023” when this was uploaded in 2012?

@@Goat_Lord11 years ago I woke up to watch SpongeBob. I can’t think of a single kid that would willingly watch this in the morning in any decade.

[@Maxinestabile]

One thing we also know is that there’s never been a kid that’s sworn every swearword ever has only been said by adults

[@sammykewlguy]

He handled it so well! Sometimes you need to shake things up with an f-bomb on live national television.

I remember this. He dropped the F-bomb on tv, and everyone lost their minds. planes fell from the sky, Abraham Lincoln exploded in his tomb. and every baby in the world began to cry at the same time. That was the day the world ended. Not with a whimper, but with a four letter fuckin word.

I don’t know why they freak out at morning television because the kids don’t watch mainly because they are well at school or in transit by this time.

[@lolzlolz69]

It's not really about that. It's because it is a Fucking Cock Company violation and they can fine the studios big money.

[@ArthurMrgan]

The same thing applies to every child in America?

[@Turnip_]

I would frequently see GMA on the TV before school. Not everyone has a lengthy commute to school and start times vary greatly between states.

[@cartooningwithchris5329]

As a kid I did watch the Today show but I was brought up by my grandmother. She would always have the Today show on in the morning. By this time when Cloud Atlas was out I would have been out of the house and in college so it wouldn't matter.

[@CapnSlipp]

I love how Tom knows exactly how bleeping works in live TV/radio, and was quick to correctly blame production for now practicing standard-practice for 50+ years.

[@christyshowlive]

I remember when this first happened! Replayed it about a thousand times, can’t believe how much time has passed!

[@shaolinwisdom]

He almost lost his mustache at his own surprise.

September 19th, 2006. I woke up excited as ever to watch my saturday morning Good Morning America. “Look buddy it’s Woody” - says my father. Then it happens… my ears couldn’t believe what had just happened. Being from Brooklyn, I had never heard such language. My father removed all televisions from our house. But the tremors remained. We ate dinner in silence that night..
