Nick Cannon Presents: Wild N' Out (MTV)

common sense media says

Raunchy improv comedy show for mature viewers.


parents & educators say

What parents need to know

Parents need to know that the raunchy humor in this improv comedy show makes it appropriate for adults only. Adult themes prevail in almost every comedy bit, including references to drugs, drive-bys, STDs, and sex. The last segment of every show is a game called "Wildstyle" where the teams throw insults at one another, earning a point for each insult. There are also adults-only games such as "You Can't Say That S--t."

Positive messages: Constant insults.
Violence: Verbal discussion of graphic violence, but no actual violence.
Sex: Explicit sexual references.
Language: Many bleeped words.
Consumerism: Not applicable.
Drinking, drugs, & smoking: Occasional references to drugs and alcohol.

Talk to your kids
Families can talk about the "Wildstyle" segment. Why is it funny to insult one another? Are these comments really funny or could they also be hurtful?

What's the story?

The brainchild of Nick Cannon, an R&B artist/actor famous for his roles in Drumline, Love Don't Cost a Thing and Roll Bounce, WILD 'N OUT is an improv comedy show much like Whose Line Is It Anyway? (but meant for a more mature audience). In this version, two teams, Red and Black, go head to head in a comedy competition; Red is led by Cannon and Black by an invited guest (guests have included Kanye West and Method Man). There are four games in total, the first three adding up to one point apiece, and the final game, Wildstyle, earning its players one point for each insulting punchline slung in a "Hip Hop Comedy Battle." Between the improv segments are comedy sketches very similar to what you would see on MADtv or Saturday Night Live.

Is it any good?

While the comedy in this show can be entertaining for mature audiences, the adult themes in games such as "You Can't Say That S--t" make it completely inappropriate for kids. Bottom line: This show isn't for everyone, but the only people that should even be taking a peek to see if they like it should be at least 17.
