common sense media says
Quirky activities are pretty funny -- but also dangerous.
parents & educators say
What parents need to know
Parents need to know that this series about quirky stunts -- like racing ostriches and blowing up things with a military tank -- is lighthearted, but the featured activities (some of which started out on YouTube) are potentially very dangerous. They're coordinated and/or performed by professionals on the show, but kids should be reminded to never try them at home. There's also a little bit of mild sexual innuendo, but it will likely go over kids' head.
Positive role models:
Parents should be very up front about discussing the fact that these feats are performed/supervised by trained professionals whose actions should not be imitated. That said, the folks on the show do warn people that the stunts should never be tried at home as well.
Violence:
Stunts include blowing up things with army tanks and various kinds of demolition derbies. People are shown falling off of ostriches and wrestling with animals like catfish and snakes. But all of these events take place in controlled environments are are performed and/or monitored by professionals; none should be tried at home.
Sex:
Some very mild sexual innuendo that will likely go over young children’s head. For instance, in one episode Howell says that when driving an army tank, you must “treat [it] like a woman, smooth and easy.”
Language:
Mild; words like “dang” are sometimes heard.
Consumerism:
Many of the people and events featured here have been featured on YouTube; some actually have a fan base as a result. Local establishments around the country are also featured.
Drinking, drugs, & smoking:
Not applicable.
