Age 11+Violence, suicide references, language in adult animation.
Parents need to know that Futurama S6 E23, "The Tip of the Zoidberg", is a adult animation episode. The series is known for cartoon sci-fi, but written for adults — crude gags and dark jokes. Sits in the gray area mainly on violence & injury (explicit, shown on screen). Suicide or self-harm is raised — for example, Zoidberg says, "You can't hunt a Yeti by yourself, sir. [Professor Farnsworth stands up.] It's suicidal". Violence includes Professor Farnsworth says, "[Professor Farnsworth stabs the Yeti". Sexual content is mild but includes Professor Farnsworth says, "The Yeti grunts.] I lost my virginity"; Mom grabs the piece of paper with her left hand, puts it in her breasts, and smiles. Language isn't constant, but you can expect swearing — for example, Mom says, "Alright, grunts. Here's your pre-mission pep talk. [Mom pulls out a gun with her left…". Every flagged moment below is a direct quote from the transcript or a short description of what happens on screen.
