Sometimes it crosses the line a time too many, and becomes High Octane Squick. A few examples:


  • Wooldoor accidentally shooting a truck driver, then trying (and failing) to tell the news to the driver's family... while wearing his skin.
  • The meat made out of Clara's forest friends flopping along to her song.
  • At one point, Spanky Ham caves in Xander's head with a tire iron. Then he slurps up what emerges. It is offscreen but sounds sickening.
  • One gag involving Captain Hero has him at college. Going back to his dorm with a flier for sperm donation, he tells his roommate he can now "get paid for doing what I already do in your shamppoo bottle for free." Pan to Hero's roommate having literal dead babies growing out of his afro. It looks just as horrifying as it sounds.
  • The candies made of the body parts of Wooldoor's relative, which is a VERY thinly disguised Holocaust reference.
  • Wooldoor is experimenting on Ling Ling, causing the latter to grow a face that says "Kill me!" — which Wooldoor does, causing Ling Ling to scream in pain! Yikes!
    Wooldoor: You ask me if I have a god complex... I am God!
  • Clara is revealed in an episode to have a fetish for people dying horrifically in car crashes, and it’s just as disturbing as it sounds.
    • Speaking of car crashes, there is also Foxxy’s song “Crashy Smashy”, which is about, you guessed it, her bandmates getting mutilated and dying in a car crash. Along with the graphic lyrics, the music video shows her dancing over dead bodies and getting smothered in blood.
  • The Movie and Grand Finale of the series, also get several of these moments:
    • After learning that the show had been cancelled, Wooldoor starts suffering a Sanity Slippage, and starts Hearing Voices that tell him to murder children and drink their blood. To make things creepier, the voice he hears saying this is his own voice, but with a cold, menacing tone:
    "Cut their throats and drink the children's blood, Wooldoor! Their youth will be your youth!"
    • Clara's death. First her arms are torn off, and then she's killed by the guards, and although it was a Gory Discretion Shot, the scene is still disturbing.
    • The final scene of the film, when the entire cast is accidentally Killed Off for Real. Pretty disturbing if you consider this canon for the series (which is why most people don't).
  • Wooldoor once brainwashed Foxxy into thinking she was gang raped as a child to explain why she's such a huge slut. It's only after Foxxy kills most of the people Wooldoor tricked her into believing assaulted her that he cheerfully reveals the lie. Foxxy puts it best.
    Foxxy: Why would you do that?!
  • At the end of the episode "Freaks & Geeks", we finally have the chance to have a look inside of Captain Hero train of thought, which includes, among other things, a real-life photo of an African girl eating the innards of a dead goat. Not even the silly music playing in the background is able to make the imagery less horrifying.
  • In "Drawn Together Babies", there happens to be a lot of unsettling scenes, like the babysitter's death (twice) and Captain Hero screaming at her body in the refrigerator, but there's one scene that's gone too far. The doctor (who is a group of babies in disguise) announces to the group that he is going to make an emergency bypass surgery. Everything seems fine, until it cuts abruptly to real footage of bypass surgery, uncut, and with screams at background. Nighty night, kiddies.
  • The entire scene of Larry killing everyone in the house for killing Wooldoor in "Clum Babies". The worst part is when he is cured by the Clum Baby, he watches that he caused, and he kills himself. We see the "green blood" at the window.
