Parents need to know that teens will probably be drawn to this adult-oriented sketch comedy show thanks to star Nick Cannon. But it has lots of sexual references and plenty of profanity. Sketches frequently involve scantily dressed women in sexualized roles (groupies, promiscuous women, mute escorts, etc.); one skit revolves around a man suing a woman for refusing to put out. Some bits involve violence (a man holding up a diner and threatening to kill the patrons with guns, for example) though it's clearly meant to be funny. Racial stereotypes -- the criminal black man, the hoodlum rapper, the hoochie mama, the prissy white woman, and more -- run rampant, but they're also played for comic effect.

Families can talk about racial stereotypes and humor. How does seeing stereotypes in TV shows and movies affect viewers? Are the effects different depending on whether you're watching a drama or a comedy? Why or why not? What are the negative effects of stereotypes? Are there any positive effects? Do you find it difficult to discuss race and racial stereotypes? Why or why not?
