Nick Cannon Presents: Short Circuitz (MTV)
common sense media says
Hip-hop-skewing sketch comedy for mature peeps.
parents & educators say
What parents need to know
Parents need to know that teens will probably be drawn to this adult-oriented sketch comedy show thanks to star Nick Cannon. But it has lots of sexual references and plenty of profanity. Sketches frequently involve scantily dressed women in sexualized roles (groupies, promiscuous women, mute escorts, etc.); one skit revolves around a man suing a woman for refusing to put out. Some bits involve violence (a man holding up a diner and threatening to kill the patrons with guns, for example) though it's clearly meant to be funny. Racial stereotypes -- the criminal black man, the hoodlum rapper, the hoochie mama, the prissy white woman, and more -- run rampant, but they're also played for comic effect.
Violence:
Comic violence, like a man holding up a restaurant with guns and threatening to kill people. No real injuries.
Sex:
Some sketches involve sexual topics, like a man suing a woman for not putting out. Women are often provocatively dressed and sometimes act in sexually suggestive ways (licking lips slowly, showing off legs, touching bust, etc.).
Language:
Constant profanity, though the harsher words are bleeped (but still obvious). Unbleeped words include "ass," "bitch," "whore," and "hell."
Consumerism:
Some brands are mentioned in rap songs, like Cadillac.
Drinking, drugs, & smoking:
Pretty clean, all things considered.
