Dog Bites Man (Comedy Central)
common sense media says
Fake news at its best, but a bad choice for kids.
parents & educators say
What parents need to know
Parents need to know that this farce isn't meant to be taken seriously. They're not real reporters. It's not real news. (And the fact that some of the people they interview don't know that is all part of the fun.) The show's aggressive use of sexual innuendo isn't appropriate for younger viewers and sets a poor example for teens, but that doesn't mean they won't watch.
Violence:
Not applicable.
Sex:
Sexual innuendo and crude body part jokes are common, and homosexuality is sometimes used as a punchline. Two of the main characters have an on-again, off-again sexual relationship -- a pattern that started when one of them was a secretary and the other was her boss.
Language:
Locker-room humor relies on words like "hooker," "whore," "balls," "sack," and "testicles."
Consumerism:
Not applicable.
Drinking, drugs, & smoking:
Characters discuss drinking wine, beer, and liquor, which usually leads to poor judgment, mishaps, and regrettable one-night stands. Steroid use is mentioned in the show's premiere episode.
