    It seems some of these positive reviewers just can't accept a negative opinion can they? I have to be honest - I have lived in New Zealand all my life, and I think this show sucks.For instance, it isn't funny or smart. It uses stale insults, racial slurs, and witless comebacks for jokes. Though that isn't the case in some moments of the show, this is what this its like most of the time.Also, it only aims for banal humour rather than exploring other emotional views. Whether to shed a tear or feel a rush of astonishment, it has nothing to offer but its so-called 'comedy'.As well as having terrible writing and all, completely annoying characters, bro'Town is such a tasteless show that there is nothing more to talk about it, apart from its humour always turning into an epic fail.I know much more people respect the show in a way that I don't, but trying to argue with a differing opinion makes you seem like a bro'Town character - "If you don't like this show I'll beat you up!"

    I caught the first episode of Bro'Town on a flight from Heathrow to NZ.Didn't expect a huge amount but I was bored (It's a loooong flight.....).Was I ever wrong?I laughed.Long and hard,loud enough to annoy other passengers.Okay,there were a few things I didn't get (the whole Brother Ken thing for example,but after Googling.....)but on the whole I found it hilarious,as did my wife who watched it as well.So much so that we bought all three seasons on DVD when we arrived in NZ.I will admit that it has its ups and downs,but show me something that hasn't.As for being offensive to minority stereotypes,get real,they have a go at EVERYONE,including we Scots! I doubt it'll ever be shown on British TV but who cares?We've got the DVDs! To quote (South African stereotype) Joost Van Der Van Van-"Masterful Rex,masterful!"

    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!

    Bro Town is the Pacific Island version of South Park, which follows the lives of four young Pacific Island boys who live in Morning Side, Auckland, New Zealand. This TV Show is a classic which should be remembered for its one-liners, brilliant characters, and the voices of some of New Zealanders biggest stars. The four boys go through ordinary teenage experiences, including puberty and girls, which leads to dramatic happenings. This show contains stereotypical characters, with appearances from New Zealands news teams and government. This show is definitely one to look out for if you want to have a good laugh. I would like to see this as a movie.
