A toilet monster is in one of the episodes. Scatological humor relating to toilets and bodily functions makes up some of the jokes. There is upper male nudity, as Captain Underpants runs around – well – in his underpants. In one episode, a student is turned into a people-eating creature by some chemicals. Most of the aliens only look goofy, but there are toothed creatures, and an unsettling clown is shown briefly. There is sci-fi style shooting with lasers, as well as superhero fights with punching and kicking, and slapstick accidents. The violence is very cartoonish and always comical. Older children will likely connect with the fun and imaginative adventures that the characters undergo. The writing has superb comic timing, and each character serves a role in the story. The story is told by a narrator, and there are often hilarious fourth wall breaks where either the narrator or the characters will acknowledge the audience directly. In this series, George and Harold’s entire school is chosen to go on a special adventure in space, filled with aliens, spaceships and other planets.
