Yeah, this is a pretty great show right here! A lot of gaming fans should feel right at home here. Violence: Not an issue, as the violence is very old school game-like. Sex: Some innuendo. Language: Moderate. Stronger words are bleeped out.

What Parents Need to Know
About Code Monkeys
Parents need to know that this mature, video game-centric animated series features characters using marijuana and engaging in other risqué behaviors. There's strong sexual innuendo, including visual references to sadomasochism and partially clothed characters shown in sexually suggestive positions (though there's no actual nudity). Language includes words like "hell" and "p---y" (stronger words are bleeped), as well as racial/ethnic terms and stereotypes (for example, one character is called "Black Steve") and occasional iffy references to religion. While the animation may appeal to younger viewers, the show isn't intended for tweens and is even an iffy choice for teens.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about whether cartoons need strong plotlines to be funny. Are crude jokes and references to inappropriate behavior enough to make a show worth watching? Why or why not? Families can also discuss how video games have changed since the 1980s. What are some of the major differences between video games then and now? Do you think the concerns about the impact of video games on kids during that era are the same today? What new issues have come up in more recent years?

Vulgar, if not hilarious show for teens.
Code Monkeys is quite simply a comedy that uses an 80's style of video game art for animation. Don't be fooled by the appearance, this is a VERY iffy and vulgar show, with lots of sexual innuendo, violence, and poor social behavior, including but not limited to somewhat graphic sex scenes, shootings, mass suicide, and having the word Black in every African-American's name (examples include "Black Steve, Blackie Blackerson). The abundance of inside jokes and the style of humor (sex-related) will turn off younger viewers. However, nostalgia will be strong for games who played in the 80's as there are references and parodies of famous video games such as Super Mario Bros. and Doom. I would recommend this show to video game fans too old for SpongeBob yet too young for Gears Of War.
