Why We Rated This for Ages 15–18

What to watch out for

• Messages:

  Sketches poke fun at pop culture and racial stereotypes. The cast is primarily African American.
• Violence:

  Comic violence, like a man holding up a restaurant with guns and threatening to kill people. No real injuries.
• Sex:

  Some sketches involve sexual topics, like a man suing a woman for not putting out. Women are often provocatively dressed and sometimes act in sexually suggestive ways (licking lips slowly, showing off legs, touching bust, etc.).
• Language:

  Constant profanity, though the harsher words are bleeped (but still obvious). Unbleeped words include "ass," "bitch," "whore," and "hell."
• Consumerism:

  Some brands are mentioned in rap songs, like Cadillac.
• Drinking, drugs, & smoking:

  Pretty clean, all things considered.
