They got away with a few "shits" during MST3K: The Movie. Definitely though, they try to keep their material at about PG-13, around the range of a TV-broadcast of an R rated film.

This is one of the things I love about them from a craft standpoint - throwing in "gently caress" is just about the cheapest possible way of getting a laugh, it requires almost no thought or talent at all. Of course it's possible to use swearing cleverly, but that's a rare and special thing.

I think Titanic is in my top five from the past while. This despite it being a freakishly long movie.

Plus, pretty accurate Shane MacGowan impersonation.

If he is he's smart enough to keep his politics out of his comedy. This is also something conservatives aren't very good at.

Liberals are? Don't get me wrong, I'm pretty darn left much of the time, but I mean come one, pot/kettle etc.

Mike is a brilliant comedy writer because he accesses his audience deftly regardless of their politics. That's professional.
