Mike DiCanna Anyone comparing South Park to this gem of a series, has got to be smoking crack. yes they both exploit stereotypes. That's where similarities end. the writing style is completely different. It would be like comparing Family guy with SP. (with South Park looking like having something resembling a story)Bro'town has got soul. it's far more coherent, better written, and ultimately, more offensive than either SP or FG could ever be to the American, PC-obsessed, media. The difference is that it doesn't try to be offensive with quick punch after another. The main characters aren't quick 5-second sideshows like they would be in a typical American cartoon. Maybe some people may not like to hear this. but if you grew up in a ghetto, you knew ppl who were as one dimensional as these characters. It's just is what it is. It would suck if we couldn't laugh at this because some pc-head thinks it racist.Latin America has picked up the series on cartoon network Latin America. and I hope some channel like BET (because let's face it, it won't get aired on any other American channel) picks it up, because they're the only ones in the US who will get this type of humor.Can't wait for season four!

zw1965 I watched about four episodes on a long haul flight between NZ and USA. I could see why Kiwis find this funny but it did nothing for me. The attempt to send a message to young people through this program will be limited. The attempts to incorporate contemporary culture with a modern concept of spirituality is offensive to those to wish their religious observation to be pure and without idolatry. It could be improved considerably by having the actors speak more clearly. They can still use their slang but they need to enunciate, otherwise it becomes a long mumble. The best thing to come out of New Zealand is not this but the Seven Periods of Mr Gormsby which is more entertaining and more likely to share a valuable message with young Kiwis.

MarkyMark81 I can't believe this show is doing well back home. I think that this show is the worst thing I have ever seen. Now I'm a fan of South Park, The Simpsons, Family Guy, King of The Hill (All shows which critics back home have said is 'New Zealands answer to..') so it's not a matter of taste. It's just stupid.As a part-Samoan, New Zealander I understood when it was TRYING to be funny. But it just wasn't. So it's not a matter of having to be a New Zealander to find humour in it. If you like to laugh at exaggerated stereotypes combined with toilet humour but without the wit of South Park then you will enjoy this.

Ian Gorton I'm gonna go against most of the reviews on here and say that I love this show. Yeah it's a bit crude but I love it cause of that. I don't watch this show to be intellectual, I watch it for a good laugh and for a release as it were.I was told about this show by my brother and I though looks like I'll have to have a look at it. My favourite quote is the one about their dad wanting to watch his pornos in peace. I had to have it explained to me what the whole 8 Dads things was all about though with the Jeff da Maori character.It amazed me too the number of celebrities they got on this show even the NZ PM. I couldn't imagine little Johnny Howard doing a cartoon here that's for sure.
