Wonder Showzen is really scary. From the initial warning that this show isn't some happy little Sesame Street with horror movie trailer music/screaming in the background, to its creepy little opening involving footage of someone chucking knives at a little girl and creepy, jerky animation with pictures of nuclear explosions among other things. And don't even try and ask about the sketches (which is even more disturbing since these are real children between the ages of 5-8 saying and doing some of the stuff that's on this show)...


  • In one scene of the episode "History", they torched an actual beetle and showed its death throes.
  • The first episode had a scene where, for no reason, they showed a time-lapse shot of a dead fox decomposing.
  • The PFFR Vanity Plate, which is Sensory Abuse incarnate. A crude, offensive drawing that defies description flashes at a seizure-inducing rate while a voice says "Pee-eff-arr" at a very low pitch.
  • "Body"
    • The Mr. Body segment, where Mr. Body removes a boy's lungs and eats them in front of him while the boy suffocates to death.
    • The entire Aunt Flo sketch, especially the surreal imagery that comes near the end and the girl silently chanting "I'm a woman now".
  • The opening of the deleted Scooter McJimmy: Hillbilly Boy Genius sketch features a scene of Scooter helping a goat give birth to a kid that has the face of George W. Bush.
