    1.0

    Crass and sexist take on the TV show.

Why We Rated This iffy for Ages 11–18

What to watch out for

  • Messages:

    The only female with lines is a stereotypically dumb blonde. When she saves the day by accident, everyone is disgusted that a girl actually did something useful.

  • Violence:

    Dexter is constantly fighting menacing robots and the Ghoulish Mandark. The video is constantly violent, but with the exception of the whipping scene, it's all cartoonish.

  • Sex:

    The opening scene suggests that Dexter's parents are having sex, but no sex or nudity is actually portrayed.

  • Language:

    Not an issue.

  • Consumerism:

    This video is based on the Cartoon Network series "Dexter's Laboratory."

  • Drinking, drugs, & smoking:

    Not an issue.
 

What Parents Need to Know

About Dexter's Laboratory: Ego Trip

Parents need to know that this video is crass, sexually provocative and blatantly sexist and may encourage their children to imitate the main character, a sexist egomaniac with an annoying voice. The video also depicts the young main character witnesses his future self in agony as he's publicly whipped. The plot is studded with disturbing appearances by the villain.
