great show but really it's TV-MA V for it's explict violence and teenage language ("pr-ck" "fat ass" "s--t" "f--k" "motherf--ker" douchefag or d--do some band members drink and make remarks like: "i'd rather chop wy ding-dong off than not drink" definitly a show for metal inspired 15 year olds with supervision

Metalocalpse is an acquired taste but worth the effort. I reccommend adults watching it with the subtitles on--some of the dialogue is difficult to follow because of Nordic accents and speech impediments and the lyrics to the songs are an oft-missed punchline. I am not a fan of metal (I was a punk rock girl) but I have a new appreciation for the music from this show. Good times! Oh, and the violence is off the charts. I actually don't let my kids watch this one even though I am a very liberal mommy. I prefer for all my kids to stay in their own beds and I fear I'd have a puppy-pile of kiddies under my covers if they caught one of these episodes. However, there is no judgement coming from me--for you metal families, share the love with your kids all you want!

I THINK CRAP IT SAID

It's a pretty funny show, you just have to understand the humor. The band itself kinda sucks. The guitar is insanely awesome, but the singing needs a lot more work. Other than that, great show.

So I don't know if this has been pointed out, but no product placement? Really? Have you ever heard of Gibson, a huge manufacturer of guitars based out of Nashville? Nearly every famous guitarist that has ever produced music has used Gibson. It's a household name, and not only is the brand all over the show, but the logo is HUGE and shown at the end of every episode. It's a bit ignorant to miss such a huge corporation being marketed. As far as the show being appropriate, let's think about this. It's on a program called ADULT SWIM at 12:30 at night. I don't think many children will be watching it. And I believe it is acceptable for people, at the very least, 15 years old and up to watch. As far as all the violence, swearing, drinking, and such, this is a show that is parodying heavy metal bands in a way that is designed not to make fun of them, but to be funny and joke around about the music industry. It's not to be taken literally, but for what it is: A funny show for metal fans. Also, just a side note. They didn't put the chef back together to write a song about him. They did so because they were hungry. And wanted a sandwich. It's obvious you did not watch more than the first episode.

I actually really like this parody. It is vewry violent though, and not for young viewers, like myself. But I love watching it, and your kid probably knows more than you think. That's to you strict parents.

It's rated TV-MA V on Adult Swim. It's also, easily, one of the outright funniest shows on Adult Swim ever created. I think that kids between and eleven and thirteen can handle it, but only a select few that may have matured faster than their peers. This show pretty much creeps out most people because of the extremely graphic violence, the crude language and the excessive drinking and drug use. Though, for kids older than thirteen, it's great. The characters are all (arguably) actually pretty decent people. Except Murderface, but, hey, pobody's nerfect.

Definitely for older teens. Lots of blood, profanity, sex, and drugs.

its horribly inapropriate but i think its awesome... you guys forgot dr.rockso,he does c-c-c-cocaine...
