When the four boys see an R-rated movie featuring Canadians Terrance and Philip, they are pronounced "corrupted", and their parents pressure the United States to wage war against Canada.

As an 11/12 year old I remember hearing 'Kyle's Mom's a Bitch' on the radio and finding it very humorous, and I feel like that is the demographic who would find this film funny as I watch it in my early 20s. Perhaps more than most episodes, the jokes almost purely revolve around swearing to the point of over-over-over kill and don't get me started on Terrance and Phillip... It surprises me that with the rating this was always going to receive in many countries that they were put in. Do young adults or late teens for that matter still find their fart jokes funny? The whole Saddam and Satan relationship is painfully unfunny also. This is kind of where I stand with the television series itself. When it's clever there are some good episodes, but too often I feel like it's for children who get kicks out of hearing three animated children swear at each other. That may come across as pretentious but that's just my thoughts.
The plot pretty much focuses on satirising censorship (it's okay to show extreme violence but not explicit language-hence all the swearing) and the whole Canadian/American relationship that has been done many times. The intense Mole character, the hospital scene, and Bill Gates getting shot when he's trying to explain how fast Windows 98 is was mildly amusing, but overall this comedy didn't do much for me as the rating suggests.
