The Walking Dead' writers did some crazy verbal gymnastics to make a character's monologue safe for TV

Published by Business Insider on Thu, 18 Aug 2016


Season six of "The Walking Dead" is out on Blu-rayand DVD August 23, andwith it comes a long-awaited uncensored version of Negan's entry onto the season six finale.For those who may not be familiar with the character, Negan (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) has quite the colorful vernacular. In the comic series, he drops the f-bomb quite frequently. How frequently' You can't turn a page in the comic without a handful of them from Negan.Take a look:His mouth is so foulthat it was unclear how "The Walking Dead" crewcould go about adapting the character faithfully for television. Part of the answer was to start filming two versions of big scenes with Negan's character moving forward for the fans.INSIDERreceived a review copy of the new season ahead of its release, and after watching it side by side with the regular finale, it's definitely worth the watch and almost helpsmake up for the frustrating finale.And whilethe cliffhanger endingis still annoying(sorry, there are no hints as to who died if you watch with the captions on), the ever-so-slightly longer finale strikesa bit more terror, fear, andif you're a fan of the comicsexcitement over watching one of the series' fan favoritesin all of his uncensored glory.The two monologues thatJeffrey Dean Morgan delivers aren't too different. There are a few minor tweaks here and there.The biggest additions are 23 (yes, I counted) glorious f---s, including these two gems which are slight changes (and I think improvements) from the comic:You killed my people, a whole f---ing damn sh--load of them.More than Im comfortable with. And for that, well for that you gottaf---ing pay. So, now I am gonna beat the holy f--- f---ing f--kedy f---outta one of you.So, if someone comes to your door you f---inglet us in.We own that f---ingdoor. You try to f---ing stop us and we will f---ing knockthat f---er down.See I wasn't kidding about the language.For those who are a little mystified by Negan's affinity for the word, these lines are taken straight from issue #100 of the series. The dialogue mirrors it pretty much word for word with a few deviations to accommodate for character changes and parts that didn't make it into the show.However, the funniest changes areseeing how "The Walking Dead" writer's room dealt with adapting some of Negan's colorful language.It looks like they had to go through some serious verbal gymnastics tomake it work for television.For instance, take a look at this line:"But the word is out. You are not safe.Not even close. In fact, you are pegged,more pegged if you dont do what I want."If you watched the season six finale when it aired back in April, you probably didn't think much of the line. After seeing it side by side with the uncensored line, it's pretty funny:Censored VersionUncensored VersionIn fact, you are pegged,more pegged if you dont do what I want.In fact, you are f---ed,more f---ed if you dont give me what I want.For those who are curious, I've transcribed Negan's monologues from both the censored and uncensored versions of the season six finale below, side by side, with the minor tweaks and changes highlighted.Join the conversation about this storyNOW WATCH: AMC dropped the first trailer for the next season of 'The Walking Dead,' and it gave us chills
