OP: A car explodes with a cat in it but then the cat jumps out of the wreckage unharmed.

A character frequently manipulates and coerces women into having sex with them. They talk about “the implication” of being trapped on a boat and not being able to say no to sexual advances. A main character assaults another main character off screen, and it is described in detail in Times Up for the Gang. In that episode a character calls their old secretaries and it’s heavily implied they assaulted/harassed them.

A character is missing an eye, but the losing of the eye was off screen. He wears an eyepatch with an eye drawn on it. It is described that another character stabbed his eye, but then is revealed a bird pecked it out. Another character’s eye seems to have a cataract or something similar after having his face burned in a fire off screen. A main character attempts to give himself plastic surgery and his eye becomes red and swollen.

Main character Dennis is shown as having reoccurring body images in which he sometimes starves himself and gets weird treatments done in order to look more “beautiful”. Mac also deals with a lot of weight gain/weight loss throughout the series, like a LOT. And in the gang goes to therapy episode his body dysmorphia is discussed

In “The Gang Gets Held Hostage,” Frank and Charlie are crawling through the vents. In both parts of “The Gang Goes to Hell” (but particularly part 2), the gang is in “boat jail” which basically looks like a metal box with no windows and a locked door. The boat rocks/tips over and the door ends up on the ceiling, so they get stuck. Then the room starts to fill with water and they drown. SPOILER: they do not actually die. This scene could be very stressful to claustrophobic people. In “The Gang Goes to a Water Park”, several people get stuck in a water slide.

A main character’s grandfather was a nazi, and there are videos of them as children unknowingly giving the nazi salute. Someone puts on an old nazi uniform, but it seems it was not malicious. There are arguments about whether calling someone a jew instead of jewish is antisemetic. A character is referred to as a “jew lawyer”.

In the first seasons a trans woman is called a “dude” and he/him. A cis character dates her and tries to keep it secret, and is later teased for being in a relationship with her. In Mac Fights Gay Marriage someone says the trans woman’s marriage to a man is gay. The trans woman is asked insensitive and invasive questions by a couple characters.
