Where's the humor in bestiality, anti-Semitism and pedophilia? It's in “The Whitest Kids U’Know,” a show which has been satisfying man’s desire for crude and unusual comedy since its debut on FUSE in 2007. Two years later, “Whitest Kids” is in its third season and still supplying laughs, though this time on a new network.
“Whitest Kids” is a comedy sketch show performed by five men who push the limits of inappropriate humor. Past skits have involved everything, including people doing drugs with raptors, a homophobic doctor examining a man for testicular cancer and Adolf Hitler starting a rap career. It may be distasteful, but it’s awfully funny.
New episodes of “Whitest Kids” are now being shown uncensored and commercial-free on the Independent Film Channel. It's not really clear how the uncensored programming label will affect the content of the third season. Previous seasons often included topless women for the sole purpose of boosting uncensored DVD sales. So it's likely that the troupe won't hesitate to take advantage of its new home.
The most significant change to “Whitest Kids” this time around is its new format. The third season will consist of more episodes, but each episode will have a running time of only 15 minutes. This brief length could perform better with online audiences than with TV viewers. The third season of “The Whitest Kids U’Know” will have to keep producing excellent sketches to keep viewers interested in its unusual take on humor.
