There is a scene where Bo is holding a knife for no apparent reason, possibly alluding to self harm? However, nothing beyond that is shown or mentioned.

This might not exactly be torture, but a sock puppet character begs for its life and is "killed" at one point

Yes. There is no audible chewing or eating scenes, however, in most scenes Bo has a microphone extremely close to his mouth. Lip smacking and breathing is heard.

Most of the mentions or brings up the topic of suicide and while it comes off as jokingly, it said so seriously in some scenes.

Yes, Bo Burnham is skinny, but nothing about body dysmorphia or disordered eating is discussed or shown. The song 'Problematic' has Bo working out and '30' has Bo wearing nothing but underwear. There are small portions where he's in various states of undress and towards the end he is entirely naked for a brief moment but no genitals are ever on screen.

In his song about aging, he expresses anxiety about getting older and says he'll kill himself when he turns 40.
Immediately afterward, he clarifies that he doesn't want to kill himself and won't kill himself and pleads with suicidal viewers to not kill themselves.

Someone commented about an antisemitism reference but with the full quote it’s pretty obvious Bo is not talking about that and rather shedding light on how “And every politician, every cop on the street protects the interests of the pedophilic corporate elite“ and given all the current news at the time he was referring to how many rich powerful people have gotten away with sexual violence with little to no consequences. While some fringe conspiracy people may use “the elite” as antisemitism most people don’t know or use it that way. Especially given the rest of the songs content I highly doubt that’s what he was trying to convey.

During Problematic Bo Burnham half-jokingly apologizes for dressing up as Aladdin for Halloween but according to him sound darkening was not involved but still feels “weird about it in hindsight”
