Arby 'n' the Chief (2008)

This acclaimed series contains sexual references and jokes throughout.

Season 1:

In one episode, a crude drawing of a man's genitals can be seen for a brief moment.

In another episode, one of the protagonists asks the other whether he is masturbating. The other protagonist first denies this, but he then says he is (even though he isn't.)

In another episode, one of the protagonists humorously attempts to download 700 gigabytes of pornography. Vaseline and tissues can be seen nearby.

In that same episode, a protagonist's video game character is killed and the other protagonist says that he has been "raped."

References to both male and female genitalia are made, with one of the protagonists being a fan of "boobz."

Season 2:

In nearly every episode there is a sexual joke and/or reference, although they are, for the most part, not particularly graphic.

One of the protagonists is a wannabe womanizer, who tries to pick up women while playing online games. He buys an obscenely large amount of condoms, which he calls "secks baloonz." While chatting with a female on the internet, this protagonist asks for nudes and is seen wearing a condom on his head and upper body (he is an action figure.) Later, he tells a female character that she has nice nipples.

A character asks one of the protagonists if there is any pornography on his computer.

A reference is made to one of the protagonists' habit of watching pornography.

While playing "Grand Theft Auto IV" the protagonist is asked to go to the strip club or pick up a prostitute by a another character, but the protagonist ignores him. This character later steals the controller from the protagonist and goes to the strip club himself, where he gets a private dance and a scantily clad woman can briefly be seen.

A crude drawing containing the breasts of a woman and the genitalia of a man can briefly be seen.

The Movie:

(The movie is technically part of Season 2, but for the purpose of this guide, I have decided to include it separately because it is considerably longer than any of Season 2's episodes.)

Brief sexual references are made.

A crude drawing of a man's genitals are briefly seen.

A sexual song is heard in one scene.

Twice, video game characters are killed and subsequently teabagged.

Season 3:

One of the protagonists says that the only thing in a cup is saliva, but when the cup is turned over, what appears to be semen leaks out.

A video game character's gamertag is "I<3ToJizz420" (I Love To Jizz 420.)

Another video game character's gamertag is "HotBitch69."

One of the protagonists is seen crying and the other protagonist asks him if he is crying because he ran out of vaseline.

While playing a video game, a minor character says that he is "getting laid every night." In that same episode, another character comments that he is has a "hard-on" and that he is going to "wack off." Another character bets that he is harder than him, to which the other responds that they should plug in their webcams to see who is the hardest between the two of them.

A minor character is heard over a headset saying that he has a "hard-on" and is then heard masturbating. Before he orgasms, his mother and father walk in. Nothing graphic is seen, and the scene is meant to be humorous.

Multiple video game characters are killed and subsequently tea-bagged during the season.

One of the protagonists asks a female video game player for "titties."

One of the protagonists states that he'd rather eat his balls than play video games with a certain character.

A minor character's name is "Josh Butterballs."

We briefly see a crude drawing of two pairs of male genitals.

One of the protagonists draws a smaller penis riding a big penis. The drawing is clearly seen for at least a couple of seconds and it is graphic in its depiction.

One of the protagonists tells the other protagonist to give his penis a tug, while making a crude hand gesture.

One of the protagonists is called a "pubic bush" while the other is called a "cumshot."

We hear the terms "jack-off", "jerk-off", and "nutsack" used multiple times.

A minor character makes explicit gagging noises while describing someone's voice, as he explicitly states that they sound like they have a "big, throbbing c*ck" in their mouth. Another character states that vaginas are cool.

During one scene, some of the characters are called "butt-burglars."

Endgame:

During Season 5, in the game "Halo Reach", a protagonist kills several people with a machine gun turret (very bloody). This however is not very intense and is more funny. The protagonist also shoots someone in the head with a sniper (not bloody).

The show has gameplay footage from Halo which isn't very graphic considering it is only a tiny bit bloody and virtual. The more graphic violence occurs outside of the game or offscreen entirely and can be heard.

Earlier seasons of the series are less violent, but the series gradually turns darker and the violence becomes more intense. The majority of the violence, however, is in the video games the protagonists play and any real-life violence is not graphic because the protagonists are action figures.

Season 1:

In one episode, one of the protagonists grabs a kitchen knife to defend himself from the other protagonist, but he is suddenly hit with a frying pan. He is then tackled and held down. The entire sequence isn't very intense, however.

Gameplay footage from the "M" rated games "Call of Duty 4", "Halo 3" and "Devil May Cry 4" is seen, but it is neither intense nor graphic. Halo's gameplay isn't all that graphic for an "M" rated game.

Season 2:

One of the protagonists is hit with a frying pan and a window smashes. This is meant to be humorous.

A video game character is sniped through the head. This is neither intense nor graphic, but the character's team members vastly overreact to his death.

In one episode, one of the protagonists grabs a kitchen knife to defend himself. This is due to the fact that some unseen characters have escaped from the cardboard box which they were placed in. Ominous music plays during this scene.

Gameplay footage from the "M" rated games "Grand Theft Auto IV" and "Halo 3" is seen, but it is neither intense nor graphic.

One of the protagonists decides that the only way to win back the girlfriend he never had is to kill her current boyfriend.

One of the protagonists slaps a female character's posterior, and in turn, he is punched. He flies towards a mirror, breaks it, and is seen lying on the ground in pain.

One of the protagonists declares that it is time for another character to die and he runs at him with a kitchen knife. The episode ends before anything happens, however.

The next episode continues the fight, as the protagonist is tackled and then repeatedly punched. He gets up and then kicks his attacker in the groin, disabling him. The protagonist then tackles another character and he repeatedly punches him before he is flipped. The character who was being attacked then attacks the protagonist, punching him and bashing his head in the wall. The protagonist then returns the favor, bashing his attacker into a wall. He then hits his attacker with a frying pan, disabling him, and while he is lying on the floor, the protagonist threatens to kill him with a knife. He is stopped before doing so, as the other protagonist tackles him and subsequently kicks him in the groin and other parts of the body. This fight is not very intense and is meant to be humorous.

The Movie:

Video game violence from "Halo 3" is seen in a few scenes. In one scene, many characters are shown firing their weapons, however, they are not seen hitting anyone. One character shoots a rocket at a vehicle, causing it to explode. Laser beams kill many characters in one scene, but no blood is shown. Blood is briefly seen when an injured character is shown. None of this violence is meant to be intense, and there is a lighthearted feel to it.

A chase sequence unfolds between one of the protagonists (an action figure) and an actual human being. The human fires a gun into the air dozens of time during the chase and eventually ends up shooting himself in the leg. Blood is briefly seen. After the protagonist gets away the human ends up committing suicide by shooting himself in the head. Large amounts of blood are seen. This sequence is meant to be humorous.

One of the protagonists briefly contemplates suicide before jumping in front of a car. He is hit, but does not die, as he is an action figure.

Season 3:

One of the protagonists throws a bottle of beer at a female character but he misses and instead, we hear the bottle smash on the ground.

The main premise of one episode is a one versus one match between one of the protagonists and his backstabbing friend. We see rocket launchers, assault rifles, and snipers all being fired and we see hear explosions. Blood is briefly seen. None of this is intense.

One of the protagonists is punched in a video game after asking for "titties" and blood is briefly seen. This scene is meant to be humorous.

Two characters are quickly shot in the head during a "Halo 3" match by one of the protagonists and blood is briefly seen.

One of the protagonists is punched off a building during a "Halo 3" match and we see his body tumble down. He survives, however.

One of the protagonists briefly contemplates suicide as he holds a knife to his wrist, but he is interrupted before he can do anything. This scene is meant to be humorous.

Gameplay footage from the "'M" rated game "Resident Evil 5" is shown, but it is neither graphic nor intense.

Virtual blood and violence

From Season 5 and onward, violence becomes more frequent, in video games (most of the time in "Halo Reach" which is an M rated game for Violence and Blood), and bloodier. During Season 4 and 5, video characters are shot, stabbed, blown up, and killed. While it is humorous most of the time, there are some intense scenes.

Endgame:

Endgame: Comical cocaine use. However, the use is not glamorized, since the character using is an antagonist and a complete lowlife.

As the series progresses more and more drug and alcohol content is slowly added.

Season 1:

In one episode, one of the protagonists acts like he is drunk and has drank a lot of beer, but he only drank bottled water.

In one episode, one of the protagonists asks the other one if he is high, to which he replies that he is "high on life."

One of the protagonists grabs a can of beer from the fridge but he is never seen drinking it.

One of the episodes revolves around one of the protagonists waking up from a hangover and trying to remember the events of the previous night. Dozens of empty beer cans and Jack Daniel's bottles are seen, as they were consumed the night before. The protagonists also "smoked cereal" the previous night and got high.

One of the protagonists is seen with empty beer cans over the course of two months.

Endgame:

From season 5 onwards, the series gets progressively darker and more dramatic. Seasons 7 and 8 are particularly bleak, to the point where the series is more of a drama than a comedy.

Self rating: Rated TV-MA for strong graphic sexual references, sexual content, some violence, bloody images, drug use and pervasive vulgarity throughout

Suggested BBFC rating: UK 18 for very strong language, strong sex references, suicide

Season 5 and 6 have a lot more drama and conflict but it sticks to being a comedy with long form story telling. Season 7 and 8 the show becomes more of a comedy drama with darker and more adult themes.

Season 8 takes the show back to the lighter tone of seasons 1-6. However the comedy might be more frequent than season 7 the dramatic moments are even darker and far more intense than those in season 7. Season 7 and 8 are extremely intense with the protaginists put in actual peril outside of the video game dealing with psychopaths and cyber terrorists.

season 7 deals with morality, addiction, hacking, loneliness, mental health, child abuse and broken homes in an incredibly real and bleak manor. To the point where season 7 is hard to even call a comedy.

Season 7 deals with heavy subject matter

The first couple of season of the series are more lighthearted and tongue-in-cheek, while the seasons that come after are more intense.

Season 1:

None.

Season 2:

The fight in the final episode of the season might be a bit intense.

The Movie:

The chase scene and the subsequent suicide might be a bit intense. The attempted suicide by one of the protagonists might also be intense.

Season 3:

The ominous music that accompanies an episode while we hear of mass hysteria and suicides (in a video game) could possibly make the episode intense for some. In the following episode we also hear of mass hysteria and ominous music also plays, though it is less violent than the prior episode.

Endgame:
