I can think of criticisms of the show, but honestly creepy is one I struggle with, unless you refuse to contemplate the idea of tweens even thinking about puberty, sex and drugs.

Pretty sure you answered your question.
Look - I vaguely remember me at 12 years old and yeah, we thought about that stuff. But I kinda cringe thinking back on it anyway. Making it the foundation of the humor for a television so (animated or otherwise) is just...odd. And slightly offputting.
It's okay when it's 12 year old talking to other 12 year olds about how their parts work, but when it becomes awkward sexual advances between said 12 year olds and it's put out there for general viewing, it's just...creepy.
