No but towards the end, Fish mentions watching Ozzie Osborne bite the head off a bat at that venue years ago.

Matty’s weight is the butt of several jokes but in general, this is frowned upon and the other characters don’t find it funny

No, but Fish does basically forgive the Vesuvius band members at the end. They weren’t his abusers, but they did treat him extremely poorly and betray him.

It happens long before the movie takes place, but Curtis’ father walked out on him as a child and he has lasting trauma because of it.

Specifically it's "it makes me want to k*ll myself". It's said jokingly but in reference to a kinda legitimate issue (a song about one of the characters parents abandoning him)

Fish injures himself very frequently and when he falls, there are often cracking/popping sound effects. He’s shown with lots of wrist and ankle braces and similar things, but there’s never any actual confirmation that he’s broken any bones.

No but Fish is thrown off the roof of a van in the beginning at high speed and lands really hard on the pavement. He is completely unharmed.

Fish doesn’t realize that the band rehearsals are being filmed so he doesn’t know that he’s recorded while naked and that the recordings are posted online. He only finds out once the videos are viral and everyone knows who he is. Later, a character goes up to the roof to get better cell reception and ends up finding 2 characters kissing. They have no idea anyone has seen them.

Fish has pretty severe issues and has what I would consider a meltdown or something similar to it when his traumatic past is brought back up. In the beginning, he attacks a coworker about this but it’s not really shown and he doesn’t have a meltdown that time.

During the Vesuvius show towards the end, the lead singer does the “up yours” gesture to the booing crowd.

There’s a fly that Fish accidentally gets in his mouth and kind of chokes on. The fly isn’t shown in any detail and it is extremely brief

Graphically onscreen. When they’re about to perform at the prom, Fish gags a few times and then throws up into his hand. He then puts the vomit in his pocket and pats the pocket, which makes a disgusting sound effect. At least one other character gags in disgust.
