Rupert makes a joke about his mother being dead but at another point he seems to have a conversation with her so it’s not clear if this is true

Rupert tells a very long joke about his parents vomiting due to alcohol and him inducing vomiting in himself because he thought it was a sign of maturity

A character calls his sister a man for playing ball in the park. This is told as a joke and the audience laughs.

There's a point at which a character strips down to their underwear, but it doesn't go further than that.
