Sex & Nudity
Violence & Gore
Profanity
1 to 10

MPAA Rating: R

Trey Parker and Matt Stone become stars when a game they invented is turned into a professional sport. Also with Yasmine Bleeth, Jenny McCarthy, Ernest Borgnine, Robert Vaughn, Dian Bachar, Bob Costas, Al Michaels, Robert Stack, Dan Patrick, Reggie Jackson and Kenny Mayne. [1:43]

SEX/NUDITY 5 - Lots of sexual innuendo (including references to masturbation, necrophilia and sexually transmitted diseases). Some kissing, including two scenes of french-kissing, one passionate and one between men. Twice, we see the bare shoulders of an obviously naked couple; in one scene, the man is behind the woman but there's no sexual movement and in the other scene they kiss. A man's hands are in his pants and he appears to be masturbating. We see nude men covered with towels lying on tables. We see several men's bare buttocks and briefly see a few men's obviously fake genitalia. Lots of cheerleaders in cleavage- and buttock-revealing outfits dance suggestively. A man licks a phallic object.

VIOLENCE/GORE 5 - Mainly played for laughs: During a hockey game, a man's head is knocked off (we see the severed head with a trail of blood on the ice) and a man cuts off his finger (we see the bloody stump and blood spurting on his face); both scenes appear to be very fake. We see a ribbon pinned to a bare chest with blood dripping from it. We see a man hanging in closet. Lots of people fall and two men are thrown; one crashes into a wall and the other flies into a fireworks display (we see an explosion afterwards). A man is sucked into a jacuzzi and a man is shocked with electric paddles. A man pounds another's head in a door, a man is slapped, a man is knocked down (we hear him being stepped on), a man is kicked and hit in head with a board and a man is kicked and hit in crotch with a ball. A kid cracks his head into the top of door and a man hits his head on a basketball hoop. A man is tossed between people and he screams as they punch him. Players hit each other hard during a game; one person is wheeled off the field. A dog attacks a man, and is in turn hit with a ball and yelps. Many scenes of animals being run over during a fake TV show. A man wipes feces on his face and it's implied that a man is drinking cellulite through a straw. A man squirts milk from his nipples. We see a couple of people urinating and hear a couple of people vomit. People are pelted with eggs. One riot scene.
