There's a scene where a pet goldfish nearly dies, but the titular ghost character is able to wrangle its spirit back into its body, reviving it. Otherwise, none of the animals that die are pets. So far.
Strictly speaking, no. But as of early season two, the highly risky behaviors of one child character can be reinterpreted as suicidal ideation in the context of his desire to remain separated from his living body in ghost form when he feels like his friends and family don't love him for him.
Very mild but sometimes ghosts turn into a creepy form to cast curses. Scratch’s body is also malleable and unharmable so even if he is cut in half he is completely fine
Not abusive but Libby’s dad is not present in her life. She gets excited to visit him and have a life with him again, like when she was little but he plans to continue travelling to write his book and be famous. Could be seen as neglect
The theme is sudden and loud. Scratch also sometimes turn into their scary forms suddenly and they often have booming voices. In s1e12 there is a sudden door slam that comes after scratch takes the red game piece that I wasn’t expecting and triggered me, slamming doors can be a pretty common trigger for DV survivors
Not in any kind of truly forceful manner, but there are moments when characters try to hold one another back to prevent them from doing something stupid.
S1e4 there’s a beehive honeycomb shown. Some ghosts have bumpy textures (bumpy textures can also trigger trypophobia) S1e6 Libby shows her skin which is covered in hives S1e9 scratch gets stung by many bees S2e12 scratch gets boils all over him that pop like bubbles
the show is about ghosts so all of them have died | in “howlin’ harriet” libby tells the story of harriet who died by being hit by a train, obviously nothing is shown the screen simply shows scared harriet, the train moving forward and then her toes flying into the trees | in “getting the band(chell) back together” a old man briefly dies (of natural causes) but scratch quickly shoves his ghost back in his body and he wakes back up
Judaism, Christmas, hannaukah and a bat mitzvah also Thai wedding traditions (not sure if there is a religious aspect to these traditions). Scratch makes a joke about converting to Judaism because they have food.
Pete/dad has plantar facitis which flares painfully and he trips while skating. Pete breaks his arm and has to have someone care for him while healing. Grandma nin in s2e9 has to be cared for after a bad fall, she rejects this and runs away, having another fall. Her elderly friends talk to her about staying in a retirement home where she can have the independence and care she needs
yes if you count scratch having to “eat” libby and molly to take them up in the air in “all night plight” it’s hard to explain in words but it’s comedic and it isn’t really “eating” them
in “a doll to die for” lord doom is known for eating people, however this is just said about him to show that he is evil and is never shown on screen
There is a joke made about it where Pete/dad appears drunk on cocoa, he tells Sharon/mom “hit me” holding out his glass, she’s responds “I think you’ve had enough cocoa” and he says “I said hit me” he then gulps down the cocoa
S2e7 is Halloween and there are plastic spiders. S1e14 scratch and Molly accidentally lill Heidi start to hallucinate spiders everywhere. Lots of imagery of spiders is shown S2e18 Molly gets cursed to feel no fear for a day, one of her major fears is her brothers pet tarantula which she now lets walk all over her.
every once in a while a ghost will get a body part separated from the rest of their body but they will always reattach it, but it’s always comedic, the ghosts are very similar to slime and as when it happens it’s very similar to the way animated skeletons will reattach their bones when they fall off
S2e18 dentist shown and mentioned, Molly also having a huge fear of the dentist. Molly falls over and chips a tooth, having to go to the dentist again. The actual dental work isn’t shown just the building S2e19 Molly falls and looses a few teeth S2e21 scratch temporarily looses his teeth from biting something metal
in S1E15 “Scare Tactics” molly falls down the stairs trying to catch darryl’s pet tarantula, if i remember correctly.
in S1E17(?) “Lock, Stock and Peril” pete falls down the basement stairs while trying to kick the door down.
S2e18 Molly gets cursed to feel no fear for a day, she flings herself across the sky with a catapult, even telling scratch she doesn’t care if she becomes a ghost, and halfway through gets very scared, the curse wearing off, scratch saves her
molly does become a wraith (her soul is separated from her body) until the end of the episode. she didn’t die as her physical body was still able to talk and move, but was more depressed than she normally would be.
S1e4 they dress as clowns briefly. S1e18 mum/sharon is dressed like a clown S2e18 Molly gets cursed to feel no fear for a day, clowns are mentioned and shown
a stuffed animal temporarily gets possessed in episode 1, “the curse”
another possession in episode 1, “first day frights,” andrea is possessed by scratch during the end.
episode 3, “the greatest council ever,” a bus driver is also possessed by scratch.
yes, there are fart jokes in S1E4 “Hooray for Mollywood!, S1E14 “Goat Your Own Way” and the season finale “The Jig is Up”. in S1E5 “Best of Nin-tensions”, pete spits durian into the sink.
Nothing outright but Molly frequently do things that are over the top for others, like eating a large amount of food, even when she feels sick so the people at the barbecue have to leave or sacrifimg her feelings for others. s1e13 Molly makes herself sad to lure “sobgoblins” away from her dad, this could be interpreted as emotional self harm to some. S2e13 people take veganism and carbon zero too far and stop eating food and physically taking care of themselves. S2e18 Molly gets cursed to feel no fear for a day, she does a lot of stuff that is risky or could physically hurt her.
In “The New Paranormal,” the McGee family meets their new neighbors and one of them is an autistic girl named June Chen. June is a shy, honest and intelligent Asian girl who’s passionate about technology and she loves talking about her gadgets and showing it to people. She also displays autistic traits, such as hyperfixation and not making eye contact. June’s voice actress is also confirmed to be autistic. At first, she is welcomed by the McGee family, but later, (without spoiling much) she and her family are later kicked out of the McGee’s house without them knowing why, but it wasn’t because June is autistic. It dosen’t misrepresent autism in any way, but there’s not a lot of focus on June in this episode. Canonically autistic characters like June, especially female autistic characters of color, are very rare, so for the writers to include her as a new character in this show and to be voiced by an also autistic voice actress shows their support for autism awareness and acceptance.
in some episodes, libby talks about her anxieties.
in season 1 episode 8 (Talent Show), libby signs up on the wrong list and seems to be panicking after.
No, but a character does threaten to remain a wraith, or a ghost existing outside of his still living, now emotionless body, because he believes his family loves that version of him rather than his spirit.
Yes, especially when lightning happens. Otherwise relatively mild. S2e2 has strobing graphics when Ollie shows Molly a video from his family YouTube channel. S2e20 has lots of white-black flashing
Very, very, very briefly in one of the Holiday episodes, there is a reference to attacks on Jewish people. Probably a particular night in Germany before WWII. The only shown characters escape to the USA though. But it isn't exactly sugar-coated.
There's several ongoing gags with the character, Scratch eating a lot sometimes having an exaggerated belly and being seen as a slob, Although the plot of a particular episode (S1E14, goat your own way) entirely revolves around an extremely long, drawn out fat joke regarding an animal. It's an episode better left skipped.
S1e3 a celebrity shows his own face on Mount Rushmore. I get this is a joke but considering the land was culturally important to the Indigenous peoples and was stolen and desecrated, it’s kinda not a great joke at all.
Many characters misuse AAVE throughout
S1e4 they talk about Abe Lincoln and mentioned he didn’t agree with slavery which is why he emancipated the enslaved (despite the fact he himself kept slaves)
Molly and her new neighbor blush around each other, Molly views him through her crush filter, and they go on a date to a school dance together. But nothing is explicitly sexual. One episode focuses on a character getting her first period, but the subject is treated purely as biological and as a rite of passage into womanhood rather than as anything remotely sexual.
