Is Check It Out! supposed to be offensive?

Last Sunday [as] aired a disclaimer bump for this. It said something about how they believe Check It Out! should not offend people of... a certain age demographic that I forgot.

 

So I watched it, and found nothing that would really be offensive or shocking. I was expecting something like the Brad Neely shorts, or at the VERY LEAST something with the gross-out value of T&EASGJ, but I didn't notice anything like that.

 

So my question is, why dd [as] make that statement? Was there any threat that it might offend? I didn't notice any threat.

While I have nothing to go by since I don't remember this bump, and I can't glean much of anything from your statement, it was probably either a joke or the same disclaimer they're required to show for everything that says the programming is not intended for young audiences and blah blah blah.

 

EDIT: F**k this POS laptop keyboard... I'm sick of having to correct a thousand f**king typos because I didn't SMASH. EVERY. KEY. AS. HARD. AND. DIRECTLY. AS. POSSIBLE.

F**king pain in the a**...

Was it one of those "rated TV-MA for Mom Audiences Only" bumps?  If so, then it's just a joke.  If not, I'm really not sure what you saw.

 

I can't imagine that this of all shows would require such a warning (unless you've noticed similar warnings about other shows), so I can only assume that what you saw was a joke.

Imagine, Kaljinyu, that you are in a relationship with your cousin.  Who cares?  But, were you to watch this episode, you might be offended, because Dr. Brule implies that such a relationship is unsettling or in the very least unfashionable.  Ya donkey.
Yay!!!

Is that sense of humor of yours misplaced atm?

 

[no it's not meant to be offensive]

 

However that is merely a guess because i don't know about you

but i've only seen one episode. Based on what i've seen though

i'm highly doubting Check It Out! is really meant to be offensive.

Um, I thought they had warnings before every episode?

 

Just that same one they have before like, family guy on fox. It doesnt mean much just that its not for kids.

It's not supposed to offend, though it most certainly will offend someone.

The only offensive thing about Check It Out is that it started on the T&eASGJ, but hey, The Simpsons started on the Tracy Ullman Show and they offend a lot of people. Not me personally but you get the gist I hope, I don't want to have to explain but I will, oh, I will!

I think its meant to push the envelope, like a lot of stuff on [as].

I mean come on, watching a man - baby kissing a man dressed as a women on the lips is considered tame to a very small amount of people.

It Offends me just suffering through more moronic content probably fueled by some sort of wierd ju ju fugue the writers are going through.

Ie: I think they forgot what is Funny.

 

stoopid friggin' monkeys

 

Tim and Eric were pushing it.

 

or maybe I just don't fit in the demographics suited for whatever the hell those shows are aimed at. 

 

All I know is I keep watching to see if there might be some bright moment and there never is.  

 

I personally enjoy all else of Adult Swims fare and can't wait for some real talent to join up and make it fresh.
