It only took 11 seasons, but The Walking Dead might've just dropped its first true F-bomb. Given the stressful nature of the zombie apocalypse, The Walking Dead's characters are surprisingly restrained when it comes to cursing. While AMC is liberal with its distribution of "sh*t," the F-bomb is a seldom used weapon in The Walking Dead's linguistic arsenal, largely thanks to the network restricting its usage to twice per season (although that's still more than we've seen in the past). So, while the F-word has been uttered in the zombie apocalypse, it hasn't been used with the appropriate levels of vigor and enthusiasm.

The (now former) best F-bomb came in The Walking Dead season 9 via Daryl, but even then the line sounds much more prominent in the home media version.
