Criticism and controversy
Despite the positive reviews the show had, the episode "The Worst Camping Trip Ever!" spawned a major controversy when it first aired, receiving many complaints from parents due to one scene where Parappa and Dante get punched by a zombie in the forest, causing Dante to say "You're Stupid S***" but Parappa interrupted him before he could say the last word entirely. One viewer said, "I'm just confused... I mean... how did they get away with adding that swear word in the episode? Sure, he didn't say the whole all the way, but it's still rather inappropriate for a Kids show." The episode was also controversial due to a disturbing scene where a zombie's head got chopped off when he used an axe the wrong way, trying to chop down the tree, even though there was no gore. NTV decided not to air the episode in America after that, resulting to the episode being banned in the country until 2010 when it aired on Nickelodeon with the controversial scenes being cut from the episode.

The episode "Attack of the Earth!" was scheduled to air in Japan on March 18, 2011, but due of the Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami and the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster that occurred a week before its scheduled airing, the episode was banned from airing in the country. The episode was allowed to air from April 24, 2015.
