At the end of the last episode you can see Yellow Guy starting to look like his dad as he suffers. He just looks like him though, doesn't act like him

I don't know why people are saying no, because in EP 2 called "Time" the clock gaslights duck into thinking that he's wrong about how time is a construct. In EP 1 called "Creativity" the notepad says that "Green is not a creative color' when yellow guy says that its his favorite color. In EP 5 the meat says that white sauce and other foods will make your gums/teeth go grey, and so on. There's gaslighting in pretty much every episode.

Yellow Guy is implied to be a child and he goes through a lot of physical and emotional torture. It's also implied that his father is behind it.

The guts in some of the scenes are pig guts, bought from a butcher. The pig itself was already dead by the time they decided to do this.

Mentions of a dead horse in the transportation episode, no actual visual, but the GPS lady says "you could go to ______, they have *something* and they have their famous dead horse"
They say no and duck says "we've already seen a dead horse"
When red guy rips the GPS lady out of the car, she glitches and one of the things she says is dead horse

One of the recurring elements of the show is body horror and gore. In episode one, Creativity, a heart is covered in glitter and a cake made of entrails is shown. In episode 2, Time, the main characters are melted to gorey, aged versions of themselves. And in episode 5, Health, Duck is disemboweled by a giant can and then a shot is shown of Yellow Guy is shown with Duck's entrails shown on the table.

There are multiple theories that the puppets we see are kidnapped, and it's sort of implied, but no one outright says they were. But I'd say no if were not talking about the lore of the series.

A main character, Yellow Guy, is implied to be developmentally disabled, and is treated differently by characters as a result. Two standouts in this is Shrignold from Episode 3, Love, who repeatedly scolds him for misunderstanding his preaching, and Yellow Guy's father, who is implied in an interview to be abusive to Yellow Guy specifically because of his interpreted arrogance and rudeness, which contrasts Yellow Guy's actual behavior.

Hard to say. Episode 5 is a critique of diet culture and the inconsistent ideas of "healthy" food. At the end a character eats too much and end up bigger (fatter and taller). This is played for horror, not comedy
