An insufferable 5 year old brat who acts in inappropriate ways. He has an NC-17 vocabulary and a scary interest in sex for a 5 year old. He's always making rude comments to women, wiggling his ding-dong around, obsessing over bodily functions, and generally embarrassing his mother. His parents have no control over him and he's constantly wandering around on his own. Then they wonder where he learned such nasty behavior from. His mother is always hitting him. He's an inappropriate 5 year old with deplorable behavior. But his parents are just as inappropriate and indirectly encourage him by giving him the reaction he craves.
The humor gets old real quick and although some moments were amusing, I found myself thinking "how dumb" more often than not.
