Sex & Nudity

  • Buster talks about a moment when he and Lucille Two "were going at it really hot and heavy."
  • One scene shows male strippers hired to impersonate criminals and police officers. Their costumes are mostly true to character but nonetheless look like provocative outfits for stripping. Handcuffs are mentioned in a subtle double entendre.
  • Brief reference to the continuing arc of George Michael being in love with his cousin Maeby.

Violence & Gore

  • Several scenes depict a man apparently having his arm pulled off, although in context it's clearly a one-armed man using a fake arm to help George Bluth frighten his children. In one scene, the fake arm is pulled off and fake blood spurts from where it was on his body.
  • An apparent shotgun blast blows a wide hole in a door, narrowly missing the head of a man who has just squatted down.
  • One scene shows a loud, confusing gunfight between police and criminals. There is no apparent death or injury except for a man losing his fake arm. It eventually becomes clear that the entire battle was staged.

Profanity

Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking

  • A major plot line involves marijuana and the idea that it can be used as a remedy for severe nausea. There are references to marijuana being used both legally (in research) and illegally, and a joke about food cravings from marijuana use.
  • George Michael leaves a note for Gob asking to help him buy marijuana (intended to help Buster relieve Lucille Two's nausea). Later, Gob meets Michael holding a paper bag, ostensibly with the pot inside. Michael is dismayed at what George Michael has done; Gob expresses dismay that it wasn't enough money for quality pot. When Michael leaves Gob and returns soon after, Gob belches up some smoke but tries to cover by remarking on the cold air outside.

Frightening & Intense Scenes

  • The scenes involving the fake arm and the gun battle could be frightening to young children despite the fact that they are meant to be staged.
