Coprolalia and swearing tics

No logged experiences yet.

Swearing tics (Coprolalia) affect roughly 10% of all Tourette and tic disorder sufferers. Coprolalia has gained much attention worldwide due to its seemingly shocking nature.  It has been portrayed in many TV shows, movies and stand-up routines in recent decades.

Refrences in TV and movies

  • Coprolalia was used jokingly in S3 E8 of The Big Bang Theory (video)
  • At the 2026 BAFTA’s, Tourette sufferer and advocate John Davidson yelled out a racial slur that went viral
  • Shortly after the BAFTA’s, ‘Saturday Night Live’ created a sketch mocking Coprolalia. It involved parodies of celebrities that have been involved in scandals, using Tourette as an excuse for their behaviour
