Of course, once the man does it, Clarence begins to chide him for just throwing away his rights. For example, at one point, Clarence convinces a patriotic man to burn a copy of the Constitution as a show of his civil liberties. Much like Borat on Da Ali G Show, Clarence goads people into strange and hilarious situations. My personal favorite is Clarence, a puppet who wanders the streets of New York City asking questions. Even things that appear gimmicky at first - a news segment with children on the beat called, fittingly, "Beat Kids" - really stand-up under repeat viewings. Even at its weirdest, moments such as a Jewish letter J and an Arabic number 8 hooking up despite their differences come off as brilliant. With the exception of the cartoon segments, the show's creators hit every joke spot-on.
The show's creators pull absolutely no punches, and if you feel uncomfortable with seeing a puppet and a little girl talk about making children, you might want to go somewhere safer for your comedy.Īt the same time, the majority of the offensive material works. If you've got strong views about one issue or another, this show will be sure to mock them. Make no mistake, though, Wonder Showzen is offensive. Everything you'd find on an episode of Sesame Street or Reading Rainbow is twisted around here.
The Show In a nutshell, Wonder Showzen parodies children's television programming.
Like its sister, The Andy Milonakis Show, Wonder Showzen soon became an underground sensation - and now the first season of the offensive puppet show is available on DVD. Vernon Chatman and John Lee, the show's creators, shopped it around and found a home at MTV2, which was in the process of trying to reinvent itself. The executives, seeing a tirade of sexist, racist, and generally offensive humor quickly decided to pass. Wonder Showzen, once called Kids Show, was originally produced as a pilot for the USA Network.
