A dog is forced to wear makeup and clothes in a TV show. It's not too bad, though.

The main character is briefly shown to be baptised in what I assume to be a lake or river.
There is also a dream sequence featuring the two main characters running by the sea.

For what it's worth, Joe for a while refuses to call Rico by his actual (preferred) name and calls him "Ratso" instead. Opposite of this trigger, but just in case.

There is a close call. The source of the now famous line "I'm walkin' here!" comes from one of the two leads almost being run into by an absent minded driver. He is unharmed.

No, but there's a flashback scene where we see a boy getting baptized in a river, and it's clearly a traumatic memory. Could be trigging for some.
