  • An off color joke about a truck advertising erectile pills
  • In an episode there is a clip shown of a very sexist man and a reporter. He grabs her breasts and is talking about them the whole clip but is referring to them as "references" and you never see the reporter or her breasts

However, there's also mild language without replacing the words, such as "hell", "damn", "badass", "dick", "bitch", and "wanker".
