Ribald celeb voyeurism with puppets; teens and up.
parents & educators say
What parents need to know
Parents need to know that this funny (to some), adult-oriented spoof involves puppets acting out scenes described in real legal documents, many of which are lewd or violent. For example, in one episode, several puppets dressed as strippers pole-dance in a sexually suggestive manner and then jump on a male puppet's genitals against his will. Having a laugh at another's expense is the emphasis of the show, and celebrities are the main target. Puppets are sometimes seen drinking, smoking, or having sex -- always in a comical way.
Violence:
Puppets sometimes hit, poke, or jump on other puppets to cause harm. One scene hints at prison rape.
Sex:
Puppets sometimes simulate sex and dress scantily -- no genitals shown.
Language:
Generally tame language.
Consumerism:
Not applicable.
Drinking, drugs, & smoking:
Some shows depict puppets drinking or smoking.
