      New Zealand's first prime-time animated show.

      It is humorously alleged several times Papelo Papelo is committing benefit fraud. However, Papelo is a single father so presumably receiving the Domestic Purposes Benefit. His work as a fork-hoist driver is only sporadically referred to, so presumably, it is not regular, full-time employment so would not be enough to consistently reduce his benefit to zero. Therefore, it seems there is in fact, nothing untoward about his benefit receipt.

    Completely unapologetic and Un-PC
    Anyone comparing South Park to this gem of a series, has got to be smoking crack. yes they both exploit stereotypes. That's where similarities end. the writing style is completely different. It would be like comparing Family guy with SP. (with South Park looking like having something resembling a story)

    Bro'town has got soul. it's far more coherent, better written, and ultimately, more offensive than either SP or FG could ever be to the American, PC-obsessed, media. The difference is that it doesn't try to be offensive with quick punch after another. The main characters aren't quick 5-second sideshows like they would be in a typical American cartoon.

    Maybe some people may not like to hear this. but if you grew up in a ghetto, you knew ppl who were as one dimensional as these characters. It's just is what it is. It would suck if we couldn't laugh at this because some pc-head thinks it racist.

    Latin America has picked up the series on cartoon network Latin America. and I hope some channel like BET (because let's face it, it won't get aired on any other American channel) picks it up, because they're the only ones in the US who will get this type of humor.

    Can't wait for season four!
