It's raunchier than "Robot Chicken"!
8 April 2024
The pilot episode of this show was simply titled "Kid's Show" and enjoyed a fine run on the Internet. Then it became its own show and its sketches were shown regularly online. Like "Robot Chicken", a lot of these clips were stand alone, but it's always nice to see the entire episode. I have seen every episode. Well, it wasn't too hard, as there were only 20. This show is a parody of "Sesame Street" featuring inappropriate stuff like many Muppet parodies.

Now, this was something that grew on me. When I first saw the bits, I thought it was relying too much on shock humor. I then realized there was in fact a lot of effort put into it and it really was a one of a kind show. The puppet characters aren't specifically based off of characters from "Sesame Street". The sets and animation are extremely creative. Now, here's what some people didn't like.

Kids as young as 5 were saying pretty gross things and was this bad for their development? I am defending this, because I know that children know that something is a work of fiction and I know the parents consented to this. I assume it's the same process as any other R-rated movie or show that uses child actors. True, this is more direct to its approach than other works like that, but children know the difference between reality and fiction. It really was a shame this ended so soon because it was trying to make a point even with how gross it was. Just uh, don't let kids watch it, not that it's probably airing any episodes anywhere on TV anyway. ****
