Sex & Nudity

Severe

There are visual and implied depictions of intercourse and fellatio between puppet characters.

Lots of sexual innuendos in the show.

In one episode, a character is reading a book that says to take off all of your clothes and that character begins to strip nude.

In one episode, an adult villain character gets an erection in front of Sailor Moon, however he is clothed.

Some instances of pedophilia.

Just a lot of wild sexual content.

Animated sexual content/nudity.

A kid is tricked in getting naked and giving a unicorn a handjob.

Some childlike crude humor.

Severe/Very Severe in a lot of episodes.

Some belly jokes.

Some very crude references to sex are made such as masturbation, intercourse, prostitution, strippers, pornography and fetishism. There is crude sexual humour throughout the show.

The nudity is completely censored on TV, YouTube, and Adult Swim's website, but uncensored on DVD and HBO Max. But since they're toys, it's not very detailed.

There are frequent references to pornography, masturbation, and rape.

Non graphic sex scenes played for laughs.

Violence & Gore

Severe

Frequent, extremely cartoon violence throughout. Some sketches involve serial killers, the world blowing up, and every other kind of mayhem imaginable.

Characters can act malicious at times.

After season 1, the violence is very bloody, organs and bloody damage is shown.

One character is always killed after being onscreen.

In one sketch, a girl brutally beats a unicorn until it accepts its new name.

Strong stop motion animated violence.

If it's TV-MA, the violence is usually over-the-top, brash, and bloody.

Sometimes the violence is flat out abuse.

NOTE: They are toys and figures. Not real people, just animated.

The earlier episodes contained Mild to Moderate comic fight scenes involving lasers and lightsabers. But by the end of Season 1, the cartoon gore became prevalent.

People are shown getting cut in half, blown up, decapitated, stabbed, run over, ripped apart, and much, much more.

The violence can be often extreme, over-the-top, and cruel.

Play dough is used to animate the blood, so it looks humorous. However, if it was live action, it would be horrifying.

Profanity

Severe

Mayhem profanity throughout, with range of mild, moderate and severe, "hell", "damn", "bastard", "crap", "ass", "piss", "bitch/son of a bitch", "goddamn", "dumbass", "jackass", "dick/dickhead", "asshole", "cock", "balls", "pussy", "shit", "fuck", "bullshit", "motherfucker", "retard", "tits", and "douchebag".

Many uses of profanity throughout.

On some platforms, swearing is completely uncensored.

This show is TV-MA, of course it has strong profanity.

Strong crude humor.

Usually it's comedic.

"Fuck" is always bleeped when aired on television, but on DVD, it's uncensored. season 1 on australia dvd is censored also so not sure if season 1 is uncensored anywhere

"Asshole" was bleeped until later in Season 2.

"Shit" was bleeped until Season 7.

"Ass," "Bitch", "Hell" and similar words are used frequently in every episode.

"Cock" is used on rare occasions, but bleeped on TV.

Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking

Moderate

Severe in some episodes.

In a sketch, 2 characters can be heard sniffing cocaine offscreen.

Some smoking, drinking and drug use seen.

Frightening & Intense Scenes

Moderate

The intro can be somewhat frightening.

There is one harrowing sketch where a young boy is in a an airplane, and the passengers get food poisoning, and one passenger gets diarrhea and sprays it all over the catwalk in one part.

The violence can be scary.

Some sex scenes are disturbing.

One of the most inappropriate animated series ever.

Some of the gross out humour is unrestrained.

Similar to Saturday Night Live and Mad TV and like "Crashbox" for adults.

This show has lots of crude, irreverent and cringe humor, which can make some people uncomfortable.

Watch at your own risk.

One of the crudest stop-motion tv shows made- Some 21+ content.

This parody and satire show making fun of many references to pop culture throughout.

Some scenes will make your cheeks turn green.

Some of the humor is pretty twisted.

Some of the videos/clips on YouTube are age-restricted, so it is advised this show is for young adults and up.

Moderate/Severe for neurodivergent viewers.

In one sketch Fred Flintstone is shown talking through a voice synthesizer. A bit unsettling.

Yeah, this show is pretty much not for kids.

Some characters grab others by neck and choke them at times.

While the show is comedic, the content can be dark and disturbing.
