Why We Rated This iffy for Ages 16–18

What to watch out for

  • Messages:

    Lots of behavior and gags that often go too far, as well as jokes based on racism, sexism, etc. But the show also focuses on how important it is to continue to work hard and take risks to be successful.

  • Violence:

    Occasional scenes of cast members arguing and pushing each other, but their actions aren't physically harmful. Some references to violence.

  • Sex:

    Some references to sexual activity, but they're not extremely graphic. Some brief partial nudity. The show's title is an innuendo in and of itself.

  • Language:

    Strong language, including a wide range of explicit, unbleeped swear words. Usage is primarily gratuitous.

  • Consumerism:

    Product labels on junk food -- such as potato chips -- are purposely blurred, although the packaging is sometimes recognizable.

  • Drinking, drugs, & smoking:

    Some cast members are seen smoking and/or drinking. Sick cast members are given prescription medications or shots, but the actual consumption of these medications isn't visible.
 

What Parents Need to Know

About Dane Cook's Tourgasm

Parents need to know that this HBO reality show includes jokes and discussions that touch on aspects of racism, sexism, and violence. Swearing is constant and gratuitous, and comedian Bobby Kelly uses very explicit language on a few occasions. Brief nudity is seen on various occasions. Also, while they're on the tour bus, group members continually share bathroom humor. Dane Cook has a strong teen following, but parents should exercise caution when deciding whether this show is appropriate for their kids.
