There is a game where Dunce is supposed to fill glasses of champagne, and multiple of the characters are depicted with glasses of champagne (although none of them really seem to get drunk or anything).

No animal death, though there's a lot of death from bean-shaped creatures. If you count wasps as animals, though, they can die (there's a game where the whole point is to swat them).

Not exactly "abused", but there is a game involving poking a bear with a stick.

Mishap has a pet rattlesnake. Said rattlesnake can be dangerous if you lose the game.

Numskull takes off her helmet in outer space. Her death is actually caused by her head exploding, but if someone were to do that in real life, they'd suffocate. Also, Calamity eats glue, and it's quite possible that her death was from poisoning/suffocation.

Numpty and Dimwit can both die from being burned alive, but the death isn't so graphic - Numpty is simply shown with fire on his head, and Dimwit is simply shown darkened. Dummkopf's death is caused from being electrocuted, but he does technically burn alive, and he's shown as a skeleton.

If you count some of the characters being stripped/partially stripped to their skeletons (such as Dippy, whose lower part is completely skeletal, and Dummkopf, who became a skeleton after being electrocuted). A lot of depictions of mutilation in general (being cut in pieces), too, and deaths that'd result in broken bones if they happened in real life.

There is some brief convulsing/shaking behavior in some of the games, but this is the result of either fear or being electrocuted. Nobody actually has a seizure.

A game can depict a car falling off a cliff if you lose. There's also a minigame where a character can fall from a building, but his death is actually caused by getting run over by an ambulance soon after.

If you lose a game involving the rattlesnake, Mishap gets bitten in the eye, and in general Mishap is also often depicted with a snake hanging off of his eye, though this is not bloody or graphic. There's another game where Doofus is building a snowman, and if you mess up he can be stabbed in the eye with a carrot (and a stream of blood comes out).

I don't think any of the characters in the game have a confirmed age, but a lot of them look/act fairly young (especially Putz and Lax), and can definitely die.

Numpty apparently has a son, and Numpty can die from burning to death or falling from a building and getting run over by an ambulance.

I'm kinda because one of the many games where you have to make them stay in that little sign and button if they did out of it then they die but there's only really that 1 and another 1 but that's later and you're just destroy a kid's sand castle so it's like a half and half

Lax, essentially. One game involving him is where you have to clean his vomit off the screen, and another one where he can collapse and vomit if you give him spoiled food. He's also often shown with vomit on his mouth.

Dummkopf can die from being electrocuted in two ways - he can either be unsuccessful with getting toast out of a toaster using a fork, or an appliance can fall into the sink while he's using it.

Pillock can be shown in the hospital dying from an overdose if you put too much medicine in a cup. There's also a few games about stitching a wound and putting organs back into Dunce, and there is also a depiction of Numpty being loaded into an ambulance (though he doesn't seem injured).

Most of it is fairly brief. I think the most prominent example of any strobe effects is Dummkopf being electrocuted.

Not necessarily - most of the characters are depicted as unintelligent, and most of their names come from different words for someone who is unintelligent, but I don't think explicit ableism is present (unless you count the word "psycho" being used to describe Clod, a serial killer).

No, unless you count early versions of the game mistakenly referring to Calamity and Numskull with male pronouns despite them both being confirmed as female. This mistake has since been fixed.

Dunce and Ninny are both confirmed to be male and are often shown in love, very strongly implying that they are a gay couple. Like all characters in this game, they can die.

Dippy attempts to use his private parts as piranha bait. We don't actually see any NSFW parts, but he dances in a fairly suggestive way sometimes.

A lot of it. Most deaths feature blood or gore, in fact (though it's meant to be humorous and it's too graphic - the bloodiest death is Numskull's, where her entire head blows up and spews blood). Deaths are not permanent as the same character can simply come back on another level of the game, and like the video, they're still shown alive on the game's homescreen (the train station), despite being decapitated, cut in half, etc

Botch is often shown bleeding with bullet holes in his body since a hunter has apparently mistaken him for a moose. No gun is actually shown, though.
