Usually being first in something is a good thing, but Shaffer's honor of 'First to Curse on SNL' isn't exactly something to celebrate. Although, what did the cast members expect when they wrote this medieval sketch that swapped "flogging" in every other word? Shaffer recalled the curse heard 'round the world in his memoir, saying "It went really we...
Though Shaffer managed to keep his job, things didn't go as smoothly for Rocket following his mix-up. Rocket accidentally said the four-letter word during a Dallas-themed sketch in which he was playing the famous J.R. Ewing, and casually remarked, "It's the first time I've ever been shot in my life. I'd like to know who the f— did it." Oops. Rocket...
The Purple One managed to avoid censoring his lyrics to "Partyup," and made quite the statement with the line, "Fightin' war is such a f—— bore," which you can watch here.
You can read the sketch's script here, but 'Da War of Da Woilds' definitely won't have the same effect on paper as it did live, when Lovitz managed to ditch the 'funking' stand-in for the real thing.
The Aerosmith frontman kept it cool when he and the rest of the band dropped by the Wayne's Worldbasement for a sketch with Mike Myers and Dana Carvey, but the rocker couldn't help himself during a performance of "Monkey on My Back," and didn't bother censoring the lyrics, "get the f—— monkey off my back."
Day dropped by accompanied by his band The Time, and a quick break in their song "Chocolate" proved the perfect time for Day to ask, "Where the f— this chicken come from? I thought I ordered ribs!"
Does it count if you don't actually see the word being said? Stipe performed the expletive-laced last line to "What's the Frequency Kenneth?" but turned his back to the cameras as he uttered the infamous word.

Macdonald dropped the F-bomb after tripping on his words while manning the Weekend Update desk. "What the f— was that?" he asked to the delight of the audience. Macdonald knew his bosses would be none too pleased, as he nervously joked afterward, "My farewell performance… Maybe I'll see you next week, folks."
The politically-charged "B.Y.O.B" lyrics include the F-word a lot. However, the show was pretty good at censoring the tune — except for an ad-libbed 'F— yeah!' from guitarist Daron Malakian. Thanks to his bugged-out eyes, you can tell from the video that he realized his mistake right away, but alas, System of a Down has not appeared on SNLsince.
This was the season that Lorne Michaels tried stepping away from SNL only to find that his replacement Jean Doumanian practically killed the show. Rocket's F-bomb got him the axe immediately; it was the overall bomb of the season that got the rest of them canned except for Piscopo & Murphy.
