Kenny vs. Spenny (Comedy Central)
common sense media says
Crude, but less dangerous than Jackass.
parents & educators say
What parents need to know
Parents need to know that this series (which is executive produced by the creators of South Park) is all about two young men who compete in really dumb, gross activities -- from trying to measure (and excel at) flatulence to gorging themselves on meat to resisting getting an erection. Kenny and Spenny are childhood friends who, like many guys, have built a relationship around constant attempts at one-upsmanship. But unlike most people, the duo landed a TV show to document their exploits. Though they seem to be having plenty of fun filming their contests, it's much less entertaining for viewers. Expect some swearing (the strongest words are bleeped) and naked butts.
Violence:
Some friendly roughhousing and good-natured insults between friends, but no violence.
Sex:
No sex, but some glimpses of male butts (particularly in the farting competition -- during which, one of the guys inserts a rubber tube into his rear end in an attempt to add more air to his system so he can break the biggest wind), and some competitions have a sex-related angle (one involves trying to go the longest without getting an erection, for example). The guys are more than willing to disrobe when a contest calls for it, and Kenny in particular seems to enjoy sitting around in his underwear, which isn't a pretty sight.
Language:
Some mild cursing ("ass," etc.). Stronger words (like "s--t") are bleeped.
Consumerism:
Not applicable.
Drinking, drugs, & smoking:
Not applicable.

Laughin Out Loud Late at Night
I first watched this on a Saturday night when nothing was on and i wanted to know how bad it really was (i had seen an add with one of them eating puke...)
I was laughing so hard. They were measuring farts. The show is really stupid but a stiff/older person would never watch it. I think the show is like a When-You-Have-Nuthin-Better-To-Watch show. It is pretty rude. The stuff they do is...funny. All in all, its better then renting Jackass, much better....

Forget the kids...
...this isn't for ANYONE!
Two episodes in particular are proof of this - one is where they try and make their own X-rated film, another is where, for the lack of better words, they play God with certain parts of their body.
Also, they frequently swear, especially in later years of the show, I do give credit to this show for guiding me towards more appropriate, traditional, conservative moral values, and helping me find God.

To much sexual references, including 'rape', 'molester' and 'porn'. One of the episodes is 'how can make a better porno'
