Super Drags

Violence is played for laughs, but can be more intense than expected, like in one scene where a man who has issues with "homos" drives a bus full of men off a cliff, saying "I hate sissy men! I will kill myself and take you all with me." All are soon saved by the Drags, however.

Sexual content is frequent and often used for comic effect, like when a man who says he "hates homos" gets a visible erection (while wearing pants) when one of the Drags attempts to unbuckle his seat belt. There are also plenty of wordplay jokes about oral sex, and references to "tucking" (one's penis).

Original audio track of this Brazilian animated show is in Portuguese, but viewers can choose to watch in English. Language includes "f---ing," "s--t," "motherf---ing," "a--hole," "son of a bitch," "goddamn," "t-ts," "slut," "balls" (meaning "courage"). Lots of language around gender and sexuality, sometimes intended to be insulting, sometimes affectionate. A bad guy says "Shut up, you disgusting homo" and that he hates "sissy men," while the Drags call each other "queen," "ladyboy," and "old hag."

Jokes may target substance use, like when a partygoer asks if a cookie will get him high "like G and roofies."

Parents need to know that Super Drags is an animated series for adults about a trio of drag queens who team up to defeat evil. The show is set in a fantasy world, with a lot of mature language and humor. There are wordplay jokes about "sucking" and "blowing," and animated erections (beneath clothing), and the Drags frequently insult each other with gay slurs, which may also contain whiffs of misogyny and ageism: "ladyboy," "queen," "old hag." Negative characters also use a lot of slurs, but they're not intended affectionately; at one point a villain says he hates "sissy men" and calls one character a "disgusting homo." There are also jokes about substance abuse, like when a man asks if a cookie will get him high like "G and roofies." Violence is comical too, and often connected to bigotry, like when a villain drives a bus of gay men off a cliff to prevent them from attending a concert (everyone is saved in the end). Messages of tolerance and the value of unity in marginalized groups shine through, but the stereotypical characters and jokes dilute these themes somewhat.
