Why We Rated This for Ages 15 and Under

What to watch out for

• Messages:

  Instead of looking for social behavior, try "anti-social" or psychopathic. The guys constantly fight with each other and put each other down (it's usually meant in fun, but it often degenerates quickly). They taunt each other ("don't be such a wuss!") and make fun of others.
• Violence:

  Plenty of personal injuries (mostly mild, but not always) from the stunts the guys put themselves through. What often starts out as play-fighting can turn pretty intense/painful. Their goal seems to be to bash each other as often and as forecefully as possible (with the assistance of heavy machinery, if possible).
• Sex:

  Anything crude is played up. Bare butts are glimpsed, and the guys often make fake thrusting movements and grab themselves. Sophomoric behavior and comments are the norm.
• Language:

  Plenty of fairly mild swearing (harsher words, like "f--k," are bleeped) and coarse, rough language among the show's posse.
• Consumerism:

  Products and signage show up mostly in the background.
• Drinking, drugs, & smoking:

  Some stunts are so far out there seems no other explanation for why the participants do them except for booze. Some to-dos are predicated on bring drunk.
