Common Sense Note

Parents need to know that this bizarre cartoon is meant for teens and adults. Though most of its humor is silly and nonsensical humor, themes surrounding domestic life -- including male-female gender dynamics and parent-child relationships -- might be confusing to younger viewers. The mother and father argue frequently, and the father regularly spouts chauvinistic vitriol, which most older teens will understand to be satirical. References to violence, sex, and alcohol occasionally come into play, but overall this is one of the tamer Adult Swim shows.

Sexual Content

Thinly veiled sexual themes, such as an alien kidnapping Mom to turn her into his "ideal woman."

Violence

Occasional jokes about death and violence, but they're very cartoonish. Frequent verbal sparring between mother and father.

Language

Only "hell" and "damn."

Social Behavior

The characters are chauvinistic and irresponsible, but it's obviously satirical.

Consumerism

Not applicable

Drugs / Tobacco / Alcohol

Occasional references to beer. One character invents a beer hat.
