Idk why it’s not the top comment but a dog is violently killed in the rat dog episode. you don’t see anything at all but it’s a big scene and they talk about it more after, ugh I feel sick now. I wasn’t expecting it
I can’t say for the entire series since it’s not over yet, but individual episodes often end unresolved/at Larry’s expense. Not necessarily sad, but not a happy ending or resolution
LOTS of loud chewing in basically every single episode. Every single character it seems eats SO obnoxiously and constantly smacks their lips. For any scene where people are eating especially having a meal I have to mute it and look at the subtitles
S3E10 Larry and Cheryl get stuck in a car wash tunnel right when Cheryl’s colon cleanse medication starts to kick in and she urgently needs to use the bathroom. She eventually opens the car door and runs out of the tunnel as the machines are still moving/applying soap to the car, but it’s distressing to watch before she escapes
Season 8: there is a safe house for female victims of domestic abuse in Larry’s neighborhood, and you can tell they have PTSD from their experiences. Some get very uncomfortable and scared around men, and one instinctively reacts violently if someone touches her or if she gets offended
Technically no, but lots of characters play fictionalized versions of themselves and current events are mentioned a lot especially in the newer seasons (i.e. Trump and COVID)
S6E4 Larry is confronted by a skinhead in the waiting room of the doctor’s office and the skinhead calls him “jew boy” and f*ggot S8E3 Palestinian characters make the generalization that all Jews are Zionists and they discriminate against Jewish characters for that reason
LARRY HAS TO WEAR ORTHODICS FOR A FOOT BASED ISSUE AND SAMMY IS WOKEN UP TO THE SOUND OF LARRY WALKING THROUGH THE HALL WHEREIN SHE FINDS HER MOTHER PUTTING MONEY UNDER THE PILLOW (COMES TO CONCLUSION THERE IS NO TOOTH FAIRY!)
S10E9 revolves around the concept of “beep panic” - when a car behind you honks at you if you don’t hit the gas fast enough when the light turns green and it makes you panic and drive too fast
Larry is supposed to be watching his friends’ daughter while she plays in the ocean and she starts drowning and he doesn’t get to her in time because he was concerned about his phone getting wet. But she doesn’t die, she is rescused by her parents and is safe
