Description:
Oddly, the first release in the U.S. of this 1995 TV series contains the final episodes (which last only 12 minutes apiece). The Ping Pong Club chronicles the gross-out antics of the boys' table tennis sports club at Inachu Junior High. The membership includes the handsome players, Kinoshita and Takeda; Takeda's volatile girlfriend, Kyoko; and the four losers at the core of the show: smelly American exchange student Tanabe, diminutive Tanaka, lecherous Izawa, and Maeno, the school windbag. Although Ping Pong Club has been compared to Beavis and Butt-Head and South Park, the crude quartet is neither as mean-spirited as the former nor as foul-mouthed as the latter. But with endless and often explicit gags about flatulence, voyeurism, sex, and urination, this series is not for the easily offended. Unrated; suitable for ages 18 and up: Explicit nudity, sexual situations, bodily function jokes, violence, alcohol use. --Charles Solomon
