Thirty-One Television Shows That May Be Trying to Promote Pedophilia and/or Child Abuse

     The following list of thirty television shows, consists of shows that either desensitize people to children getting hurt physically or sexually, or juxtapose sexual humor with children.

     By publishing this list, I do not mean to recommend any sort of ban on the broadcast or distribution of said shows (at least not yet).
     This list is solely intended as a way of cautioning adults about shows their children might watch, which could traumatize them, if they saw the wrong clip, or the wrong episode.





1. American Dad! (FOX)

     The show has alluded to the teenage character Steve masturbating, and once featured a Christmas episode about the child-abusing demon Krampus who assists Santa Claus.


2. America’s Funniest Home Videos (ABC)

     The late 2010s era of the show, frequently broadcast videos of children getting hurt, and used them as a source of comedy and entertainment. The show arguably trains people to laugh when children get hurt.


3. Beavis and Butt-Head (MTV)

     The show regularly featured the teenage characters trying to “score” and talking about masturbating and trying to get hand jobs.


4. Big Mouth (Netflix)

     The show deals with sexual issues experienced by pubertal teenagers, and features a grotesque, hairy monster that symbolizes puberty.


5. Community (NBC)

     The show features a scene in which Alison Brie’s character sings “Santa Baby” in a baby voice to the character played by Joel McHale.


6. Dance Moms (Lifetime)

     The show features dance instructor Abby Lee Miller. On the show, Miller has been shown with her foot on a young dancer’s back, giving another dancer an unwanted kiss and making her kiss a boy when she didn’t want to, and two mothers noticing that Miller was “obsessed” with one of the dancers. Several episodes feature the mothers struggling about whether their daughters were being objectified by their costumes and the choreography.


7. Drawn Together (Comedy Central)

     The show features a superhero character named Captain Hero, who, in one episode, wishes for “a twelve-year-old girl and a donkey”. Another episode features the character “Steve from Long Island” saying that he is “into twelve-year-olds” just as he walks off screen.


8. Family Feud (ABC)

     The late 1970s and early 1980s version of the show featured host Richard Dawson, who was known to pressure contestants – wives, and even young daughters – to kiss him on the lips.

9. Family Guy (FOX)

     The show features two pedophile characters prominently; Glenn Quagmire, and Herbert the Pervert. The show makes Quagmire into a beloved character, and then reveals that he has raped underage Asian girls, named his daughter after a sex act, and wants to have sex with his own daughter when she turns 18.

     The show also features numerous references to male-on-male rape (especially prison rape) as a source of humor.

     On the other hand, the show has also depicted pedophiles negatively, in reference to two male characters (one in fashion, and the other in entertainment and looking suspiciously like possible pedophile Bryan Singer) who may have been hitting on the Stewie character. The Stewie character has evolved, over the years, from a baby who sounds like Rex Harrison and is bent on matricide and world domination, to a baby who is simply gay.

    The show has also featured scenes where the references to minors' sexuality are perhaps deliberately vague as to "which side the show is on". One was a television show written by Brian that became incestuous and featured James Woods. Another involved the Griffin family becoming the stars of a reality TV show, which required Meg to be replaced by a more attractive actress (in which the show made a brief homage to Lolita).

10. Golan the Insatiable (Adult Swim on Cartoon Network)

     The first episode of the show begins with a monster walking into a city hall building, in front of a parent and child, and demanding that a statue of a demon be placed in the town square. The show also features vulgar names. Essentially, it is a show about demons, packaged in the cuteness of the cartoon world.


11. Here Comes Honey Boo Boo (TLC)

     The show, which focuses on Alana “Honey Boo Boo” Thompson, who competes in child beauty pageants. The show’s purpose is essentially to glorify the girl’s mother June Edith “Mama June” Shannon, who, for some reason, keeps dating pedophiles. “Mama June” Shannon has dated at least two sex offenders against juveniles; Mark McDaniel and Michael Anthony Ford.


12. It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia (TBS)

     The show once did an episode about putting on a child beauty pageant, which included sexual themes. The show also alluded to man-on-boy and woman-on-boy rape in the “Charlie Wrote a Musical” episode.


13. MadTV (FOX)

     In the early 2000s, Michael McDonald played a recurring character named “Stuart”. Stuart is a little boy with a porcelain face who is, for some reason, six feet tall, with the appearance of a grown man. The show also did a sketch featuring Mo Collins playing Judy Garland’s Dorothy Gale in a sexed-up take on The Wizard of Oz.


14. Modern Family (ABC)

     In the show, Eric Stonestreet plays Cameron “Cam” Tucker, and Sofia Vergara plays Gloria Maria Ramirez Delgado-Pritchett. The show features jokes that involve Cam Tucker referring to children’s “beautiful bodies”, and Vergara’s character making a pun referring to a “mother’s tongue” in the ear of the teenage boy character Manny.


15. Nathan for You (Comedy Central)

     Nathan Fielder hosts this “prank show”. The show has featured him subjecting children to at least two potentially sexual situations. In one episode, Fielder appeared to meet with parents who were allowing their son to lay in a sound-proof box while surrounded by adults having an orgy. It’s unclear, however, how much of this was real and how much was scripted and made to look as it seemed. Fielder also did an episode in which, if he failed to escape from a device before a robotic arm pulled his pants down, he would be arrested as a sex offender. The episode ended with a little girl saying that she kind of wanted to see his pants get pulled off. Again, it’s unclear how much of this was simulated; Fielder could very well have prevented the robotic arm from pulling his pants up from the very start.


16. Pen15 (Netflix)

     The show features grown adults playing characters based on themselves as young teenagers. The show once featured a masturbation sequence involving a bedpost.


17. Rick & Morty (Adult Swim on Cartoon Network)

     The show has an episode in which Morty, a teenage boy, gets raped in a bathroom by an alien. The show has also suggested that Rick – or, at least, some version of Rick in an alternate dimension – desires to have sex with his own grandson and granddaughter. The show’s creator, Dan Harmon, has been criticized for making a cartoon about child rape.


18. Rocko’s Modern Life (Nickelodeon)

     The show once created an 11-minute episode in which Rocko’s dog, Spunky, falls in love with a mop (because of its appearance of having blonde hair). The dog proceeds to hump the mop at every opportunity (with a squeaking sound), and Rocko has to discipline him for it.


19. Saturday Night Live (NBC)

     Saturday Night Live has broadcast at least 54 sketches in which pedophilia and child sexual abuse are the punchlines.

20. Seinfeld (NBC)

     The 48^th, 50^th, 51^st, and 56^th episodes of Seinfeld deal with George being attracted to a teenage girl, Jerry infantilizing his girlfriend in the bedroom, and Jerry trying to have sex with a virgin. Seinfeld began dating his wife, Shoshanna, when she was 17 and he was 38.


21. South Park (Comedy Central)

     The show displays cartoon children in inappropriate situations, ostensibly in order to criticize the exploitation of children. The show is often so nuanced, that it is difficult to tell whether the show is making light of pedophilia and teaching kids dirty words, or being genuinely wholesome. The show has featured the character Wendy (a nine-year-old girl) getting breast implants, and has shown Butters having a vibrating object inserted into his rear end as part of therapy after trauma. The show also did an episode in which Butters became a pimp, convincing girls in his class to sell kisses. In an early episode, Kenny spent hours inside his bus driver’s vagina. After Scientologist Isaac Hayes died, his character Chef was depicted as someone who ran away with a pedophilic cult.


22. SpongeBob (Nickelodeon)

     One character on this children’s show, Mr. Krabs, has a daughter named Pearl, who is of a different species. Mr. Krabs is a crab, and Pearl is a sperm whale. Pearl’s mother is another sperm whale, but is never seen. Some fans have offered a theory: Pearl calls Mr. Krabs “daddy” because he is her sugar daddy. The show also portrays SpongeBob and Patrick Star (a starfish) in sexual manners, emphasizing Patrick’s buttocks, and showing SpongeBob doing pelvic thrusts.

23. Sixteen and Pregnant (MTV)

     No show called “Sixteen and Pregnant” should exist for more than one season. After the first season, you’re not making a documentary; you’re holding auditions for older teenage boys to rape and impregnate younger teenage girls. MTV owns the children’s channel Nickelodeon.


24. Skins (MTV)

     The show portrays teenagers in an overtly sexual way, even appearing to offer sex advice, and promote losing one’s virginity while one is still a teenager in high school.


25. The Mick (FX, FXX, FOX)

     The show features Kaitlin Olsen (of It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia), playing an irresponsible woman named Mackenzie who must become the guardian of her niece and nephew. The show has featured jokes that juxtapose children against alcohol, drugs, and sex for laughs.


26. The Ren & Stimpy Show (Nickelodeon)

     John Kricfalusi, the lead animator of the show, dated a 16-year-old girl who was an assistant animator, when he was in his 30s. The show itself features rubber nipples, grotesque oversexualized human characters, and infantilization of both main characters. Confusion as to whether the dog and cat characters should be dressed or not, and the normalization of bizarre behaviors through lovable anthropomorphized animal characters, are also frequent sources of humor for this “cringey” cartoon show.


27. The Sally Jesse Raphael Show / Sally (NBC)

     Raphael brought teenage girls, who were “dating” grown men in their 30s, onto her show, only to downplay the criminal aspect of what their “boyfriends” (rapists) were doing. Raphael treated the girls as if they were “out of control” rather than the playthings of grown male child molesters.



28. The Simpsons (FOX)

     The show has featured ten-year-old troublemaker character Bart mooning people, references to Ralph Wiggum and other students witnessing Principal Skinner and Edna Krabappel having sex in a janitor's closet, and "Treehouse of Horror" episodes referring to adults eating children.

     The show also did an episode starring the speaking voice (but not the singing voice) of Michael Jackson, appearing as a mental patient named Leon Kompowski, who thinks he is Michael Jackson. The show removed the Michael Jackson episode from syndication after Jackson's death. Jackson was accused of sexual impropriety by as many as 13 different people, at least five of whom verifiably met Jackson and had their photographs taken with him.

29. This is Not Happening (Comedy Central)

     This show, hosted by comedian Roy Wood Jr. (of Daily Show fame), once included an opening sequence that showed children inside of a strip club, playing with money, while surrounded by partially clothes dancing adult women.


30. Tim and Eric Awesome Show Great Job! (Adult Swim on Cartoon Network)

     In 2010, the show did a sketch called “Original Child Clown Outlet”, featuring Will Ferrell. In this sketch, Ferrell is shown beating children who are crying (it is simulated), makes references to sperm donation, and says “Don’t touch the clowns; let the clowns touch you.”


31. Toddlers & Tiaras (TLC)

     The show features very young child beauty pageant contestants. In a similar manner to Dance Moms, the costumes and choreography push the envelope from dance practice into objectification and exploitation. One episode featured a five-year-old girl dancing inside of a cage.

What if Jerry Seinfeld and Larry David are Pedophiles?

      The following text is an excerpt from my February 2021 article "Twenty-One Politicians and Celebrities Who May Be Indian R.S.S. Agents", which can be read at the following link:

     http://aquarianagrarian.blogspot.com/2021/02/thirteen-politicians-and-celebrities.html

     The discussion of Jerry Seinfeld's and Larry David's possible pedophilia, was included in that article, as part of exploring which actors have both worked with Aziz Ansari and either made pedophilic jokes or have had sex scandals.

     Jerry Seinfeld was thirty-eight years old when he began dating 17-year-old Shoshanna Lonstein Gruss. They met some time in either 1992 or 1993.

     The 48th, 50^th, 51^st, and 56^th episodes of Seinfeld, which were aired around the same time, all featured jokes about either pedophilia, a possible reference to childhood in sex talk, or wanting to have sex with a virgin. The 48th episode is "The Cheever Letters", the 50th episode is “The Virgin”, the 51st is “The Contest”, and the 56th is “The Shoes”.

     In "The Cheever Letters", Jerry's girlfriend Sandra leaves his apartment after Sandra was talking about her panties, and Jerry replied, "You mean the panties your mother laid out for you?" This is revealed during a conversation with George, about Jerry's "dirty talk". Jerry declines to explain to George why he mentioned Sandra's mother during dirty talk. It's possible that the Jerry character was trying to infantilize Sandra, or get her to try "age play". "The Cheever Letters" episode was written by Larry David.
     http://seinfeld.fandom.com/wiki/The_Cheever_Letters

     In “The Virgin”, Frasier's Jane Leeves plays Marla Penny, an adult woman in her late 20s or early 30s who is still a virgin. The sexual frustration which Jerry experiences in the “Virgin” episode, leads to the following episode, “The Contest”, also featuring Leeves. That episode, which is one of the best-known and most popular episode in the show's history, was about the four main characters entering into a betting game to see who can go the longest without having sex. In the series finale, Marla Penny actually testifies in court about how horrified she was when she found out about this game, which Jerry was playing while he was dating her. But focusing on the “Contest” episode: during that episode, there is a scene in which Jerry tries to distract himself from how pent-up (and, presumably, horny) he is. He does so by calling his mother on the phone while watching the children's cartoon show Tiny Toons. While watching the show, Jerry sings along to the song “The Wheels on the Bus (Go 'Round and 'Round)”. This may not be a direct joke at the expense of child sex crime victim, but it is certainly a juxtaposition of children and sex which is intended to get laughs. If it is not pedophilic, then it is at least insensitive, and shows that the writers can't think of anything to distract Jerry that doesn't have to do with child-like things.

     Speaking of child-like things, not only does the real Jerry date teenagers while the fake Jerry dates virgins; the fake Jerry is an immature adult who basically has the mind of a child. He spends all his time making stupid, pointless observations, and talking about nothing, and making jokes all the time. Like a child does. He also eats and talks about cereal all the time, and Superman either appears as a figurine or is mentioned in nearly every single episode. I don't know whether it says anything about real Jerry, but fake Jerry has obviously not grown up yet.

     In “The Shoes”, George stares down the blouse of a teenage girl. George Costanza, played by Jason Alexander, risked losing a job opportunity after television producer Russell Dalrymple (played by Bob Balaban) caught him staring down the blouse of the young girl in his office. That young girl was played by Brooke Shields when she was 21 or 22. It was revealed that the young girl character was not only just 15 years old, but also Dalrymple's daughter.

     All of this means that Seinfeld broadcast four episodes about either pedophilia, reference to childhood in the bedroom, or wanting to have sex with a virgin, within the five-month span of time between late October 1992 and February 1993.

     Think about how pathological that is. Seinfeld had just begun dating a 17-year-old girl, and I'm sure there were probably people who thought it was creepy. If there were, and their opinion got back to Jerry and Larry David, they probably just said “Let's put it in the show! We can make jokes about it!” They were probably trying to “nip things in the bud” by making jokes about having sex with virgins, to get the audience accustomed to laughing about jokes that include both the topic of children or virginity and the topic of sex. The Marla Penny character is visibly in her thirties, and not a teenager, but it's hard to avoid wondering whether the “The Virgin” character, and episode, may have been influenced by the fact that Jerry was dating a teenage girl at the time.

     It's also noteworthy that the character of George Costanza is based on Larry David, the producer of Seinfeld. We might wonder whether George's experience – almost losing a job opportunity for getting caught staring down a female's shirt – could have been based on something that happened to Larry David. Maybe it was even a teenage girl, and/or the daughter of a producer. You know what they say: “Life imitates art, and art imitates life.”

     Maybe Larry David is a pedophile! Let's look at some more facts.

     When Larry David hosted Saturday Night Live, he made a joke about Harvey Weinstein, in which the punch line involved a Jewish rapist trying to get laid in a concentration camp, harassing other Holocaust victims imprisoned there. That was wildly insensitive, but it didn't have to do with children. However, later in the episode, Larry David appeared alongside sitting U.S. Senator Bernie Sanders in yet another sketch about an incident of mass death, the Titanic sinking. In that sketch, Larry David played a Titanic passenger who tried to steal a lifeboat from a boy, which was reserved for women and children only. David's character shouts that the boy is, in fact, a man, and that he could see the boy's “happy trail”, a reference to pubic hair.

     Jerry Seinfeld and Larry David obviously consider the juxtaposition of children and sex to be a laughing matter. None of this information may directly suggest that they are attracted to small children, but it's probable that they are attracted to teenage girls and have no problem joking about it in a very public manner.

     It turns out that Seinfeld isn't about “nothing” after all! For a few years there, I thought it was about food, such as cereals; or perhaps Superman. I guess it's about pedophilia!
