===Comedy===
In their [[Derek and Clive]] dialogues, [[Peter Cook]] and [[Dudley Moore]], particularly Cook, used the word in the 1976 sketch "This Bloke Came Up To Me", with "cunt" used 35 times.<ref>{{cite web | url = http://www.phespirit.info/derekandclive/live_02.htm | title = Derek & Clive – "This Bloke Came Up To Me" | access-date = 6 April 2008 | archive-date = 15 February 2008 | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20080215230945/http://www.phespirit.info/derekandclive/live_02.htm | url-status = dead }}</ref> The word is also used extensively by British comedian [[Roy 'Chubby' Brown]], which ensures that his [[Stand-up comedy|stand-up]] act has never been fully shown on UK television.<ref name = "Chubby"/>

Australian stand-up comedian [[Rodney Rude]] frequently refers to his audiences as "cunts" and makes frequent use of the word in his acts, which got him arrested in Queensland and Western Australia for breaching obscenity laws of those states in the mid-1980s. Australian comedic singer [[Kevin Bloody Wilson]] makes extensive use of the word, most notably in the songs ''Caring Understanding Nineties Type'' and ''You Can't Say "Cunt" in Canada''.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.ozmusic-central.com.au/oztabs/uvw/wilson_kevinbloody/Caring%20Understanding%20Nineties%20Type.txt |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20050709141654/http://www.ozmusic-central.com.au/oztabs/uvw/wilson_kevinbloody/Caring%20Understanding%20Nineties%20Type.txt |url-status=dead |archive-date=9 July 2005 |title=Caring Understanding Nineties Type |access-date=6 April 2008}}</ref>

The word appears in American comic [[George Carlin]]'s 1972 standup routine on the list of the [[seven dirty words]] that could not, at that time, be said on American broadcast television, a routine that led to a U.S. Supreme Court decision.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/george-carlin-seven-words-that-shook-a-nation-852833.html |title=George Carlin: Seven words that shook a nation, The Independent, June 24, 2008 |publisher=Independent.co.uk |date=24 June 2008 |access-date=18 December 2011 |location=London}}</ref> While some of the original seven are now heard on US broadcast television from time to time, "cunt" remains generally taboo except on premium paid subscription cable channels like HBO or Showtime. Comedian [[Louis C.K.]] uses the term frequently in his stage act as well as on his television show ''[[Louie (U.S. TV series)|Louie]]'' on [[FX (TV channel)|FX]] network, which bleeps it out.

In 2018, Canadian comedian [[Samantha Bee]] had to apologise after calling [[Ivanka Trump]] a cunt on American late night TV show ''[[Full Frontal with Samantha Bee]]''.<ref name="Mahdawi" />
