Why We Rated This on for Ages 10 and Up

The good stuff

  • Educational value:

    Not an issue.
  • Messages:

    Not an issue.
 

What to watch out for

  • Violence:

    Not an issue.
  • Sex:

    While the general content is clean, the site hides some photos in a "PG-13" section that you have to be searching for to find. The PG-13 stuff mostly has to do with masturbation.
  • Language:

    Not an issue.
  • Consumerism:

    The site accepts ads from jewelry and fashion Web sites. Some of the ads are kind of tacky but the site does not appear to accept anything inappropriate.
  • Drinking, drugs, & smoking:

    Not an issue.
 

What Parents Need to Know

About ICanHasCheezburger

Parents need to know that the user-generated content on this site is almost entirely tame -- and very silly. The site appeals to a particular niche that's hard to identify, but those who love their pets, have a silly sense of humor, are interested in digital photography, and enjoy the site's positive vibe seem to be its core community.

Did this review help you decide?

Families Can Talk About

  • Families can talk about the way an online community can develop around such a silly concept as cat pictures with misspelled captions. Why do you think this idea caught on? Can you define what you like about it? Do you think it's OK to misspell so many words for comic effect? What if you tried to do that on your homework? Younger kids: can you think of a caption for something your pet did? Older kids: can you think of another book borne from the Internet?

    Mixed Bag.

    Honestly, I am a big fan of this site. But, there is more than one site on the "cheezburger network", so i'm gunna break down the sites: I can haz cheezburger?: 5/5 The classic that started it all. 8+. Except for "Ceiling Cat". That's 14+. I can haz hotdog?: 3/5 A dog version of I can haz cheezburger. Not as funny. 8+. ROFLazzi: 4/5 A celeb version of ICHC. Quite a bit of swearing, and sexual content. 14+, maybe 15+. Totally Looks Like: 2/5 A "totally looks like" site. Not very funny. As far as I have read, fine for 10+. Pundit Kitchen: 5/5 Maybe it's because I enjoy politics and understand them, but I love this site. Somewhat of a democratic bias, though. More swearing than usual, though. 15+ (Or mature 13-14 yr olds) Up next in sports...: 3.5/5 The newest to the ICHC network. Funny, but only around 4 pages now. Some sexual content (referring to a "threeway"), but no language except for "hell" so far. (12+, but skip the threeway) Graph Jam: 5/5. VERY funny. The use of graphs is clever, and very amusing. No real language issues, but a decent amount of sexual references. 13+ FAILblog: 6/5 HILARIOUS!!!! But but but... Not exactly suitable for some audiences. Sexual references come every once and a while, mostly involving anatomical parts (No nude people, however.). The savior here is the G-Rated filter. A big lifesaver. 15+ (mature 14yr olds too.) Engrish: 2/5 Just a rip-off of the far superior Engrish.com. Just go there instead. Sexual references + Language abound. 15+. Try to stay away from some comments. Can get a little rough there.

    • My highlights are:
    • User content is age appropriate

    Basically, a cute time-waster that makes all but the heartless leave with smiles.

    This is a very cute website that'll easily burn up the five minutes inbetween meetings.
