Why We Rated This iffy for Ages 15–18

What to watch out for

  • Messages:

    Plenty of jokes about crime, religion, sexual orientation, etc. -- but it's all satire.

  • Role models:

    The characters in these over-the-top shows aren't exactly ideal role models. While content varies from show to show, many are crude, violent, and selfish.

  • Violence:

    Some cartoon violence with an edge.

  • Sex:

    A good deal of sexual humor (for example, one show revolves around best friends who are also testicles). Gay jokes, masturbation jokes, prostitution jokes, etc.

  • Language:

    Plenty of cursing, though much is bleeped.

  • Consumerism:

    Not an issue.

  • Drinking, drugs, & smoking:

    Some characters smoke and/or drink.
 

What Parents Need to Know

About Web Shows

Parents need to know that this revolving collection of shows that originally aired on Comedy Central's Web site contains funny, raunchy, and potentially offensive material. Each episode has different segments, so content varies from show to show, but be prepared for things like animated testicles (complete with pubic hair mustaches) and scenes of bloody cartoon massacres. While the shorts certainly push the limits, they're not in the anti-PC vein of Spike and Mike. Many teens will love the wild humor, but parents may want to preview the content first.

Families Can Talk About

  • Families can talk about the Internet as a media outlet. How does the Web fit into your household's world? Do you get most of your entertainment on the Web, on television, or somewhere else? Do you think that balance will change in the next few years?
  • What do you love about the Internet? What's the downside of its presence in your life? What consequences do you think being constantly "plugged in" has on people?
