If ever there was a series to displace South Park for sheer outrageousness, Ping Pong Club is it.

There are six members of the boy's ping pong club. Two are relatively normal; however, the other four consist of an aspiring sexual deviant, two perverts, and a guy with lethal B.O. Add in a cantakerous girl as a manager, and you have the entire crew.

This series pushes the boundaries of good taste beyond anything the western world has experienced, yet somehow manages to remain vaguely charming. The antics of the ping pong club includes one member's trademark "Protruding Pecker Serve," molesting cross-dressing members, and the infamous "Turtle Sequence," which is much too horrifying to describe. Full frontal nudity and tasteless jokes abound.

An innocent little angel? I don't think so. ...
I don't even WANT to know.

Yes, this review sounds like it's coming down really hard on this series...but that's not true at all. Consider it more of a warning for the squeamish. This is a great series if you can appreciate this sort of humor, but it's definitely not for the weak of heart. I found myself shocked quite a few times at the antics of the club.

I've seen the first five episodes and really liked this series. I can't on good conscience recommend it for the younger set though. Teenagers or older will probably dig the sick, twisted, perverted humor though.
