Parents need to know
Families can talk about different styles of comedy. How would you characterize the humor in this series? How does it compare to that of other shows or routines you've seen? Did you find these skits funny? Do you think it's fair to get laughs at the expense of others? How do you think people at the brunt of these jokes feel about them? Have you ever been laughed at? How did it feel? Viewers who've seen the British version can compare the two shows.
Message
Social Behavior:
The series derives humor from stereotypes; groups mocked include Hispanics, Southerners, homosexuals, the handicapped, the overweight, and many more. Body humor is prevalent -- in one scene, a man pees on a swimmer in a pool; in another, a woman crouches behind a bush in a park to poop.
Consumerism:
Drugs/Alcohol/Tobacco:
Some lighthearted references to drinking and drug use, none of which mention realistic consequences of the actions.
Violence
A few scenes feature guns, but they're just props, and there's no shooting.
Sex
Simulated sex between men in anatomically correct nude suits. Lots of bare female breasts and butts, most often during the two male stars' cross-dressing skits. Sexual references are common and ribald; one episode alone includes graphic mention of masturbation, blow jobs, lesbianism, transsexuals, pornography, and sexual desire between men. In one segment, a man gets an erection and ejaculates in his pants.
Language
Frequent, uncensored use of everything from "damn" and "ass" to "f--k" and "s--t."

Is it any good?
While Walliams and Lucas are happy to prove once again that there's no edgy comedy challenge -- be it obese female body suits or adult breastfeeding -- they can't take on together, this over-the-top series definitely isn't for younger viewers. From language to sexual content, it's as graphic as you'd expect a pay-cable series to be, and no group is spared from the duo's barbed jokes. So save this one for after the kids are in bed.
