The episode “Going Eyeballistic” has numerous animals being harmed unwittingly by the main characters, who saw the animals as something else due to parasites making them hallucinate.

Although there are no scenes where a character is completely nude, the episode “Chip of Fools”, otherwise known as “Snap’s Nightmare”, has a child be stripped down to their underwear during a nightmare sequence. However, nothing sexual happens.

It’s implied a character uses the toilet off-screen in “The Big Loo”, though we don’t see anything.

Two episodes in season 3 have a male character wear a dress, with the second instance including several other male characters doing the same thing. Though, whether it’s supposed to be funny by itself or if the humor comes from the other events that happen in these episodes is unclear, so YMMV. (Marked as “yes” just in case)

Although there is no alcohol, “Asleep at the Chalk” does use sleep deprivation as an allegory for getting drunk.

No, but the episode “Going Eyeballistic” has two child characters have parasites attached to their eyes. However, it isn’t graphic and both the attachment and removal are quick and harmless.
