LOL: Snakes on a Plane - The Television Edit

Snakes on a Plane
As you probably know, many films have been redubbed and reedited to be television safe for network and cable broadcast. In my opinion, the TBS version of Dumb and Dumber is almost unwatchable. /Film reader Mikey S sent over this 22-second screencapture of FX’s airing of the scene from Snakes on a Plane where Samuel L Jackson gets tired with the mother F—king Snakes on the Mother F—ing plane. Of course, FX’s version is completely ridiculous. Watch it for yourself after the jump.

    Oh my God! That's too funny!
  • Monkey fighting?! Good Lord! That is almost as bad as "This is what happens when you find a stranger in the alps!"
  • I tryed watching The Departed yesterday on FX and it was just ridiculous.__They edited the best line in the movie.____http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lTaVxTmB5k4
  • Anyone care to tell me what's the edited version like (for us Deaf folks)

    but yeah, I've watched the edited version of Dumb and Dumber on TBS and it was just terrible.
  • "I have had it with these monkey-fighting snakes on this Monday-to-Friday plane"
    (and "I'm about to open some freakin windows")

    It's odd the tricks the mind plays on you though. This appears to be the same take from the original film, but I could've sworn Sam Jackson was really saying "Monday-to-Friday".
  • John
    Oh, the edited version of Dumb and Dumber. LOL!

    "Right on my sandwich, after you kiss it!"
  • Is that...REAL?!? I honestly can't believe that this is real, but it is!
  • watched the TV edit version of The Departed yesterday...equally as funny I think.
  • yeah, they kept dubbing fucking as "freaking" to the point where I wanted to scream at the TV.
  • Joe
    There's no way I could have imagined it would actually be that funny.
  • hese monkey-fighting snakes on this Monday-to-Friday plane"
    what the hell was that!!!
  • This is the "Yippe-Ki-Yay, Melon Farmer" for the next generation.
  • Scott Lawson
    Or the "Yippe-Ki-Yay Mr. Falcon..." or any of the edited for TV version of Die Hard 2 for that matter
  • kiwimangos
    wait, did they actually edit to having Jackson calling himself a monkey? is FX racist!!?? still hilarious though.
  • dannyboy
    how is it racist he never call himself monkey plus how monkey means a black person you need to get off that RACIST BS now
  • keonato
    Anyone catch fx's cut of the departed? I'm pretty sure they digitally added an extra finger whenever someone flicks another person off...
  • [A]
    Hilarious
  • QuE!
    Has anyone one ever seen the Scarface TV edit....http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KcJ61KEynm4...chec... it out and have some good laughs
  • filmkid
    i just cant believe this i like Snakes On a Plane cause it never mean to be some big major movie its just an B movie classic but after seen this edit version of the movie im like WTF that will never happen on british tv
  • filmkid
    yeah he did say Monday to Friday i saw a video on youtube where someone put the subtitle on and it says

    "I've had it with these monkey-fightin' snakes on this monday to friday plane!"
  • I presume you mean the closed captioning... I'd expect that would be censored as well.

    What I meant was that it appeared the filmmakers actually shot a take of the scene in which Sam Jackson says "Monday-to-Friday" (as opposed to dubbing the voice clip over the original take later), even though this was probably just a dub.
  • haha wow I can't believe that;'s how they dubbed the cussing. LOL sooo funny!
  • Stark1288
    Dumb and Dumber is one of the funniest movies of the last 20 years
  • I found the TV edit of Departed too pretty unwatchable...if one more character said "frickin" I was going to just shut it off. You can't show something as raw as that film on mid-afternoon TV.
  • Ben
    The best part of seeing this promo was that it aired constantly on FX during "The Departed," another movie where half of the dialogue was re-dubbed. "Forget you!" "No, forget you!" Good thing there were no elephants in that TV edit.
  • Hand me my wallet.

    Which one's yours?

    It's the one that says Bad Monday to Friday.
  • F54
    Who watches movies on network television stations like TBS, TNT or USA? Seriously....
  • "You see Larry? You see what happens when you find a stranger in the Alps?!"
  • monkey fight, that was a funny monday to friday vid.
  • Nothing beats the Big Lebowski tv cut, "See what happens Larry? This is what happens when you find a stranger in the Alps, Larry... This is what happens when you feed... a walrus... scrambled eggs!"
  • Merlin Missy
    I propose these phrases become the new replacements on the swear filters for all entertainment-themed websites.

    ...

    I got nothin'.
  • What I don't get (and it doesn't apply to snakes on a plane here) is when a PG-13 movie gets re edited for TV and then gets a TV-14 rating. If it gets the same rating then why do they have to change it? I know it's TV but come on, the Dumb and Dumber TBS crap is hard to watch edited like that. That's why I love Comedy Centeral late night movies - no editing or messing with the original copy.
  • Some of Dumb and Dumber is actually better on TBS though. I've seen the Shih-tzu joke recut two ways and both were funnier than in the movie...

    "We mixed a Bull-dog with a Shih-tzu... Called it a Bull-dog...(starts laughing)"

    "We mixed a Bull-dog with a Shih-tzu... (starts laughing)"

    Although I've never understood replacing ass with sandwich.

    "Where do I sign?"

    "Right on my SANDWICH after ya kiss it!"
  • I don't think anything is worse than the TV version of Mall Rats. The voice they used for Jay doesn't sound even remotely like him and every other word out of his mouth is a swear lol

    this one was pretty good tho lol
  • Holy monkey fight! Not that I would ever watch that movie again, but what the hell? Agree with the Departed though, it's equally as bad, if not worse.
  • Bob
    In FX's commcercial for "Snakes on a Plane," Jackson just says, "I've had it with these snakes on this plane!" Hence, I figured that was going to be the line used in the network's run of the movie.
  • shameless
    this movie monkey fighting sucks
  • I loled
  • lloyd christmas
    "this is what happens when you serve a stranger scrambled eggs"---big lebowski on tv
  • I hear a similar thing occurs when you "find a stranger in the alps."
  • Whoah, for someone who lives in the UK, this is monkey fighting unbelievable!

    Why exactly is this necessary for US television? Is the movie aired pre-watershed? If that's the case, then why even bother showing movies like this in the afternoon, anyway? Confounding.
  • Palmer
    Got to love those guys at the FCC. Them and their silly rules.
  • Jkid
    FCC indecency rules only apply to broadcast television, not for cable. I don't know why cable broadcasters still demand that movies need to be safe for children, even though most of the audience is adults over the age of 18.
  • Palmer
    Well then, let's just replace FCC with the network's Standards and Practices.
  • Joe
    Its definitely Sam Jackson's voice dubbing his own take. These days just about every film prepares for TV (even films that may never play on tv) during their regularly scheduled ADR (automated dialog replacement) sessions in post-production. So basically, when the actor comes in to clean up his/her sound issues or re-record sounds not captured in production as part of the post finishing process in preparation for the film's release, they go through every take where the actor swears or says something not suitable for tv and they re-record it with the actor's own voice...often times they'll come up with multiple ideas for the same line ("fudge", "frig", "frick" for f***, etc) and use whatever looks the most like the original lip movements, and thus you get some pretty crazy lines like these ones...also, every once in a while there is an voice double for an actor with a scheduling conflict who can't get in for ADR...but all this to say, its come a long way from how movies used to be dubbed for tv by people who sound nothing like the actor so its much harder to detect the dubbing and that's why this may have looked like an alternate take...
  • Lol. this reminds me of SCarface... "how'd you get that scar? eating pineapples?"
  • Jkid
    Why is the US the only country to make edited-for-content editions of films while other Western countries show the same movies uncut and unedited? FCC indecency regulations only apply to broadcast television, yet cable channels still demand's an edited version, even if broadcast after 10pm.

    What gives?
  • Monkey fightin'....
  • the departed edit was even worse.

    They had whole sentences being dubbed over by a guy who was definitely not mark wahlberg.
  • I always thought the Lebowski one was "This is what happens when you take a stranger to the Alps!" Oh, well, I'm going to keep saying it like that even if I'm wrong. I love bad dubbing, btw
