Noone actually gets assaulted. Although one character's running theme is her suing for sexual harassment. Multiple jokes regarding her body (she's underage).

One of the character's entire concepts is focused on being a stalker. 1 entire episode focused on her.

it’s kind of the big joke in this show that the teacher always tries hanging himself

It is quite literally one of the protagonists catchphrases.

Technically no. Some of one–off gags involve the protagonists death, but it always ends with him coming back to life, such as where he visits the afterlife or comes back during his funeral.

Granted I think it’s more…insane than sad but it dies involve a rather sad revelation about one of the characters. Do note I’m talking about it here since that’s where the story concludes the anime itself just kind of stops
