(Dad hits his son with the newspaper for the second time.) BIG BADDA BOO BUM POO LUMPY PANTS!ĭad: (hitting Angry Kid with his newspaper:) I said enough! That's enough.Īngry Kid: Bum, boobs, bra, foo fudge, fungel, fungerl. Angry Kid stares at the camera with tears streaming down his face.Īngry Kid: Bum. Dad mutters "shit" to which Angry Kid replies "You said shit". As Angry Kid starts spouting naughty words, Dad repeatedly hits Angry Kid with a newspaper. My recommendation would be to dive in, read them aloud to your children, and use the problematic parts as an opportunity to talk about issues around bullying / gender / homophobia with them." Swearing" is the 13th episode in Season 1 in Angry Kid.Īngry Kid is sitting in the back of Dad's car, asking what words he can say. However, I understand that Dav Pilkey's no-nonsense approach is meant to appeal to kids who might otherwise find that children's books don't reflect the (awful) truth about elementary school. My only concern about them is that they have a terrible approach to gender issues and a certain streak of homophobia: there's an episode where some footballers are tricked into behaving effeminately, for instance, and this is considered a humilation.
#CAPTAIN THUNDERPANTS MOVIE FULL#
They're full of running jokes and mad surprises. They explore questions about time travel and history in a clever way, each book building on the previous ones. They're ridiculously rude, but that's part of the fun! The Common Sense review says that no one would mistake them for great literature, but in fact they have a lot in common with great literature particularly modernist literature, which explodes chronology and is radically honest about bodily functions. My son, who's almost 6, has worked his way through 8 of the Captain Underpants books so far (we read them aloud to him). If my adhd gets passed down to my kids, I will break out the old captain underpants books and help them understand their adhd. Parents, if your kids have adhd, these books will help them get into reading, and they will enjoy reading them. There’s pictures and many other adhd friendly things that will keep your child hooked on reading. The book offers mini breaks in the book which help maintains focus. The short films are fraught with gross-out comedy, hilarious misunderstanding and a cast of bizarre, if strangely familiar characters. Sure it was toilet humor but my parents were just happy to see me sit down and read. Angry Kid is a teenager from hell - a snot-nosed ginger headed reprobate, stuck at that awkward age between childhood and adolescence. “They were smart and well behaved boys, they were just bored with school.” Yes, it’s “toilet humor” but come on.compared to what kids are being exposed to on the daily, captain underpants will not ruin your child. The two main boy characters have adhd and the author puts it in the book. The Creator of Captain underpants also has adhd and incorporates it into the book. I still struggle with reading, and I find it really hard to focus and read a book. I was diagnosed with adhd and I struggled reading. It was the only book series, I could read beginning to end. My parents would buy me the book at the book store and I would have the book finished by the next day. Captain underpants was a staple in my childhood.
