Why We Rated This iffy for Ages 15–18

What to watch out for

  • Messages:

    Nothing is serious here, but if it were, Saul wouldn't be a role model. For instance, when he meets the friendly Mole Men leader, he stabs him between the eyes. Also, some jokes are at the expense of minorities (including quasi-ethnic humor and mocking of the mentally disabled).
  • Violence:

    Lots of fake gore -- people smashed with papier-mâché rocks; amputated genitals (blurred).
  • Sex:

    Lots of sexual discussion and innuendo (dialogue referring to "holes" and "shafts"); comic sexual acts between Mole Men that don't resemble human sex; busty, barely-clad women. One character is a transvestite.
  • Language:

    Occasional "hell" or "damn." Plenty of talk about sex, orgies, intercourse.
  • Consumerism:

    Not an issue.
  • Drinking, drugs, & smoking:

    Mole Men drink alcohol. Saul is appalled because it's not even noon!
 

What Parents Need to Know

About Saul of the Mole Men

Parents need to know that this bizarre live-action comedy features gory, cartoonish violence with obviously fake blood. One scene involves amputated genitals, which are blurred onscreen. Jokes about sex occur frequently, mostly in reference to the absurdly costumed Mole Men. Strange, line-pushing humor is a mainstay -- for example, one episode features a joke about a baby being retarded, Chinese, or stillborn.

    I rate this title iffy for age 2 and give it 3.0

    Unsure on this one..

    I watched this show once, and it wasn't very funny. Violence and blood is the main issue, and also when I saw it, it was only TV-14-V; but overall it's not for most kids.

    strange and bizzare sex and violince comedy, pass.

    Whoever made this stupid show must have been high on something that no one even knows about or the person was born with out a sense of reality because this show is insane and crazy I promise you if you watch it you will lose lots of brain cells anyway this show is basically making fun of a little kids show and talking alot about sex ecsept this guy that made it probabaly watched way to many little kids shows so enjoy it if you can and if you have the nerve to.
