There are some taxidermied animals shown briefly in the background of a scene in a diner, but it's unlikely they were killed and prepared specifically for this movie.

The other comment is an unnecessary spoiler. No one is burned alive in this movie. It's a comedy.

A short moment where one character is pretending to sell earrings and comments that it makes a group of teenagers older "maybe 18 or 19". Not directly sexualizing them but theres a little subtext.

No vomiting, but there is a part when Gus's son (the man driving them to the train station) spits and the spit has a funny colour. I found it slightly triggering but it really depends on the person.

Yes. There's one scene where a character spits a decent amount of what looks like tobacco stained saliva and then wipes his mouth with his hand before shaking the hand of another character. It's fairly brief, but it's gross.

There's one scene where the two main characters are pulled over by police. The interaction is neutral, though not beneficial to the main characters.

This movie contains tons of scratching, spitting, bodily noises, etc. It’s a fairly gross movie, and tough for a person with Misophonia.

There is nothing to suggest that any character in this movie has any degree of autism. Any comments to the contrary should be ignored.

No, but both main characters are shown distressed when they find out they have to share a small motel room bed. And (spoiler) they freak out even more and when they wake up cuddled together with the suggestion that one's hand is somewhere it shouldn't be on the other person's body. They act grossed out and pretend to be overtly macho after the fact. Very "no homo" behavior, but no slurs are ever used.

No sexual content. Just a scene with a young couple kissing heavily on a bus.
And, (spoiler) in one scene, the two main characters wake up cuddled in bed and it's said that one's hand is "between two pillows" but it's implied that the pillows are the body part of the other person. There's a "no homo" style freakout afterwards.

No, but one male character makes the other male character upset to the point that he's near tears.
