One sketch revolves around an animal trainer performing with a muppet creature which he verbally abuses and threatens with a whip in an attempt to get it to do tricks. However, the main source of humor is that the creature is impervious to everything he says and does, and carries on amiably doing whatever it feels like.

In a scene with the Swedish Chef, it's implied that a Muppet turkey is shot (offscreen) but it reappears as a roast turkey, not a dead animal.

A sketch revolves around a puppet transforming into a monster by removing its own facial features and replacing them with others, but it's obviously a puppet and the effect is humorous rather than horrific.

In the Robin Hood episode, Gonzo is "tortured", but he's a Muppet so it doesn't really look painful, and also he seems to like it.

There's a sketch where a group of pigs fall off a mountain one by one. But of course they're Muppets and not really hurt.

At one point, Kermit the Frog gets flour poured on him, coating his head and eyeballs. Being a puppet, he doesn't appear to suffer any discomfort (though he is quite annoyed), but it might still be unpleasant to contemplate what that experience would be like for somebody with real eyeballs.

A hospital sketch revolves around the death of a patient, a puppet of some indeterminate non-human species. The patient is already dead when the scene begins, and the scene is played for comedy rather than heart-tugging.

It's revealed that a large puppet monster has eaten another, smaller puppet character (who pokes his head out of the monster's mouth, alive and well).
In another scene, Kermit jokes that the previous week's guest was eaten by a monster.

There is a recurring sketch called "Veteranarian's Hospital". Nothing graphic is shown, and the segment just consists of Piggy, Rowlf, Janice, and usually another Muppet making bad jokes/puns in a hospital setting, then laughing uproariously at their own jokes.

There is a joke about somebody jumping to his death in response to a bad theatrical performance. It's later shown that he didn't actually do it, but it's still making light of a serious subject.

No one has an eating disorder, however there’s a lot of discussion about weight and, more specifically, dieting. That, coupled with your average 1970s fat-jokes, could make people with eating disorders feel uncomfortable and/or be triggered because of the way the topic is talked about.

Not as such, but the show is also about doing the show, so it can be borderline.

In one sketch, a character repeatedly makes jabs at another character's weight, which is played for laughs.
In another sketch, a list of a husband's faults includes telling his wife she's fat; he's portrayed as being in the wrong, but the tone of the scene is still comedic.

In one scene, Gonzo tries out a costume for a "female impersonator" act he's considering, with the jokes being derived from the other characters considering him to be unconvincing as a woman.

In one episode Kermit's collar is stolen and he acts like that means he's naked, which is technically true, but also not.

This episode contains quite a few explosions, including some that go off while a character is singing a song that includes the lyric "I'm gonna explode an atom bomb", but they are all regular small comedy explosions, none of them are nuclear explosions.
