Why We Rated This iffy for Ages 15–18

What to watch out for

  • Messages:

    Tosh makes fun of anything and anyone with a no-holds-barred style that's sometimes crass and crude but usually on target.

  • Violence:

    Some videos show accidents with painful consequences.

  • Sex:

    No nudity, but frequent references to sex. Some clips show women in bathing suits and lingerie, animals having sex, and blurred-out pornography (including graphic sexual sounds).

  • Language:

    Some swearing, including “s--t” and “ass.”

  • Consumerism:

    Not an issue.

  • Drinking, drugs, & smoking:

    Tosh sometimes suggests that the people in the show's featured video clips are under the influence of something.
 

What Parents Need to Know

About Tosh.0

Parents need to know that this show -- in which comedian Daniel Tosh comments on the latest wacky online content, including must-see viral videos and I-can't-believe-they-actually-did-that clips -- is targeted at older teens and college students. Overall, the material is too edgy for younger viewers: Some of the videos have racy content, and others show wild and painful-looking accidents. Tosh's comedy style is a bit abrasive, and he makes of everything and everyone -- including himself. Expect some salty language as well.

Families Can Talk About

  • Families can talk about media phenomenons. Why do some video clips suddenly explode into worldwide, must-see events? What types of videos hold universal appeal? How do you think the sudden fame affects the participants? Do you think they enjoy it, or it is somewhat humiliating? Do you think that some people court this kind of negative attention? Would you want any of your private moments to be viewed -- and probably mocked -- worldwide?
