What Parents Need to Know
About Spoons
Parents need to know that this British sketch comedy series is full of strong language and constant references to sex (blow jobs, anal sex, and masturbation, to name just a few). Men are often portrayed as jerks in the name of humor, and stereotypical relationship issues (like a man feeling trapped by a woman who's planning a future with him) are exaggerated for laughs. Adults will enjoy the hilarity and likely relate to many of the awkward scenarios, but save this one for when the kids won't wander in.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about how TV comedies portray relationships. Does this series cast a negative light on relationships? How so? Which scenarios in particular give couples a bad rap? Can you think of other shows that do the same? Which ones are worse? Do they all do it for laughs? Why is it funny to viewers? Do you think the comedic exaggeration affects how viewers see their own relationships, or is it all just in good fun?
