Wonder Showzen is an American sketch comedy television series that aired between 2005 and 2006 on MTV2. It was created by John Lee and Vernon Chatman of PFFR. The show is rated TV-MA. The show's format is that of educational PBS children's television shows such as Sesame Street and The Electric Company, parodying the format with adult-oriented content. In addition to general controversial comedy, it satirizes politics, religion, war, sex, and culture with black comedy. Every episode begins with a disclaimer, accompanied by the sound of someone screaming "Don't eat my baby!", which reads: "Wonder Showzen contains offensive, despicable content that is too controversial and too awesome for actual children. The stark, ugly and profound truths Wonder Showzen exposes may be soul-crushing to the weak of spirit. If you allow a child to watch this show, you are a bad parent or guardian."

I imagine this is where young edge-lords were born. Incredibly perverse and dark satire on children’s shows. Offensive humor for shock value

Only saw a handful of episodes as a young teen and it was like watching something I shouldn't.

If you like edgy comedy then this show will deliver. Wacky, disturbing and sometimes funny. Almost always offensive. It’s a trip.

Avenue Q in show form. The jokes are so cringy, they’re hilarious. The Beat Kidz segment is ingenious and is my favorite sketch in the show.

A extremely crude parody of children shows. Hilarious and very creative with some eye-catching animation sketches.

This show was ahead of its time and would have been wildly popular on streaming

It's really edgy and really stupid. If you're into that, go for it. It's great

Dark and bizarre. Truly a one of a kind show that is a perfect satire, funny, scary and unique

crosses the line a bit too much. especially with gross shit

There’s some really remarkable satire and comedy here, but it’s a little too intense for me to call myself a fan of this show.
