Though, there is a joking referring to a gun rack made of two inverted deer hooves ("I didn't know dear could... do that!").

As noted by the other commenter, there is a story by a character being "probed" by aliens. This is the language he uses, and it isn't overtly sexual or violent.

There is a joking reference to p***s reduction surgery, but it is never shown. Similarly an added joke about vagina enlargement surgery. Is that genital trauma/mutilation? I think not.

Minor and brief, but there is a moment before the stage show when one of the characters is quickly seen having a dark, wet spot on the crotch of his trousers being dried by a hair dryer from a wardrobe assistant -- he apparently had a little accidental spill, though it is never actually shown to be urine, perhaps just a coincidentally embarrassing spill of water or coffee?

Other characters assume Corky intends to harm himself, but he is simply taking a bath and pouting.

No, but while Corky is in the bath, the cast of the play bangs on his door and shouts things like, "We need you to live," as though they fear he will harm himself. It is played for humor.

Characters are overly dramatic and have disproportionately emotional responses to events, but it's done for comedic purposes.

No, but being a psuedo-documentary there are many handheld, tripod-less scenes. Not bad like a found footage horror movie, though.

As a mockumentary, people often talk directly to the camera as if being interviewed for a documentary. There are no references to you, the viewer
