Wonder Showzen is a dark, edgy, and irreverent comedy series that parodies children's television shows. The show features puppet skits, animation, and live-action segments that are politically incorrect, satirical, and often shocking. It's like Sesame Street on acid, and it's definitely not for kids.

In the first episode of season 1, titled "Birth," we are introduced to the bizarre and twisted world of Wonder Showzen. The episode opens with a bright and colorful children's TV show called "Kids Show," hosted by a friendly puppet named Chauncey. But as the camera zooms out, we see that this is just a facade for the real show that's about to begin.

Wonder Showzen is hosted by two puppets named Chauncey and PFFR, who introduce us to their cast of characters, including a cowboy, a superhero, and a group of kids who are supposedly learning valuable lessons through education and storytelling. However, as the show progresses, it becomes clear that these lessons are not what they seem.

Throughout the episode, we are treated to a series of skits and segments that are both hilarious and disturbing. One skit features a man with a giant egg on his head, who is waiting for it to hatch. He tells the camera that he doesn't know what kind of creature is inside, but he hopes it's friendly. As the egg starts to crack, he becomes increasingly anxious, and we hear strange noises coming from inside.

Another segment features a group of children who are asked to draw pictures of their families. But instead of drawing happy scenes with mom, dad, and siblings, the kids draw violent and disturbing images of their dysfunctional families. One child draws a picture of his mother as a drug addict, and another draws a picture of his father as a monster with a chainsaw.

The live-action segments are just as bizarre as the puppet skits. In one scene, a man dressed as a giant sperm is running around the streets of New York, trying to find his egg. He asks people if they've seen it and even stops traffic to ask for help. In another segment, a man is eating a sandwich, but instead of bread, he's using two live rats.

As the episode comes to a close, we see a group of children singing a happy song about being born. But as the camera zooms out, we see that they are sitting on top of a pile of other babies, who are all crying and covered in goo. It's a disturbing and unsettling image, but it's also a commentary on the way we treat new life and the disposable nature of modern society.

Overall, the first episode of Wonder Showzen is a surreal and darkly funny introduction to the show's twisted world. The humor is definitely not for everyone, and it can be quite shocking at times. But if you're a fan of offbeat humor and satire, then this show is definitely worth checking out.
