Sex & Nudity

  • A character is implied to have some unusual sexual preferences and fetishes (but the show is never explicit about it).
  • A character lies about being sexually abused by his uncle, but it is played for laughs.
  • Some episodes show male characters stripping or very little to no clothing (occasionally objectified by women), but played for a combination of comedy and heterosexual female entertainment.
  • Dialogue is present on the subject of sex, relationships and couples are shown post coitus several times putting their clothes back on.
  • Pierce talks a few times about buying hookers and other companionship (jokingly).
  • There are a lot of love triangles and love interests, but nothing is visually graphic. However, there are fairly frequent jokes about sex though, and Jeff and Britta are very amorous and "hook up" with a lot of people throughout. They talk about these situations with some mild "off color" dialogue, but nothing too bad.
  • A character has a pregnancy scare and her tryst with another character is discussed. Also, her husband is cheating on her with a "stripper" (nothing shown).
  • In Season 1, Jeff plays billiards naked and the camera shows about as much skin as possible without showing anything graphic.
  • There are some episodes that show female characters in tight-fitting or revealing clothing behaving in a suggestive way, but this is played for a combination of comedy and titillation.

Violence & Gore

  • A character is shown with a bleeding wound to the stomach. Blood is shown to seep through his shirt, but it is not too graphic or taken too seriously.
  • Basically, the only serious act of violence in the show is one character attempting to strangle his friend. He claims that he is going to kill him, but when the victim says that he is actually killing him, he stops his attacking.
  • Episode contains a short scene of one character strangling multiple clones of another.
  • In one episode, a man is shot in the leg and sprays a woman with blood from his wound. He stays alive on screen, but is later declared dead.
  • In one episode, a girl is bent over an old woman's lap and is whipped with a long stick (switch). The girl yelps in pain for at least a minute.

Profanity

  • This show has sexual terms and references.
  • "Honky" is said by a black character, but in a white man's story.
  • Whenever stronger language are used within an episode, such as "fuck" or "shit", it is always bleeped (except for 2 instances of 'fuck' during the series finale).
  • Pierce makes a lot of sexist, racist and homophobic jokes.
  • There is one uncensored use of "shit" in the ending scene of Season 3 Episode 2, though it's very soft and hard to hear.
  • Occasional uses of "shit" throughout but it is always bleeped.
  • 2 uncensored uses of "fuck" were used in the final episode of Season 6.
  • Mild language is used like "douchebag", "ass", "bitch", "damn", "hell", and "dick".

Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking

  • Characters eat berries unaware of their effects and trip out. However, the impact is lessened as the characters are puppets.
  • There is an entire episode about teaching a group of school kids about marijuana.
  • In an episode a character gets a drunken voicemail. Later in the episode two adult characters get drunk, have a dance montage, and wake up with little recollection of the night.
  • Marijuana is mentioned occasionally throughout the show. A character (who's known to smoke pot) is seen smoking a joint in a bathroom.
  • A man smokes a cigarette in the first episode, and characters are often shown drinking alcohol.
  • Meth is discussed.

Frightening & Intense Scenes

  • Overall, this is a very lighthearted show, but it can sometimes devolve into dark comedy and can get a bit dark with it's subject matters.
  • As the show goes on, it can get very emotional at times, even if the situations themselves can be seen as ridiculous, the context in which they are can be very touching.
