Sex & Nudity

  • A man is watching a woman getting changed through her window and suddenly sees the wrinkled, sagging breasts of a much older woman. The breasts are obviously fake and shown for comedic value.
  • A brief shot of a man with his pants around his ankle. Also, there is a scene in a strip club with limited if any nudity.
  • A scene where a woman's head comes up from a man's crotch indicating oral sex. A vice versa version of this scene plays over the end credits.
  • We see a girl in bra and panties briefly.
  • Two scenes where the main actress' nipples can be seen through a white tank top.
  • Some kissing.
  • Sexual humor and conversation. One case a character says, "I've got a vibrator." Referencing a common method of self-pleasure.
  • A man is seen masturbating. Not shown, just rapid arm movements and over-the-top sound effects, but we see the semen on his ear later and a woman mistakes it for hair gel and puts it in her hair.
  • A guy catches his privates in his zipper (a brief flash of what it looks like and it is clearly fake and ridiculous).

Violence & Gore

  • Grotesque male nudity: Main character inadvertently spots his date changing while urinating, then hastily zips up his pants, catching himself in his zipper. An extreme closeup of his mangled genitals (fake) is seen, it is later implied that he starts bleeding, but we don't see any blood.
  • Main character gets into a fight with a small dog that bites him in the groin, he eventually gets the dog off his crotch and it's thrown out the window.
  • Character uses the split AC power cord from a lamp as a makeshift defibrillator trying to revive shock a dog back to life. While doing so, the electricity momentarily catches the dog's belly on fire.
  • Main character is repeatedly beaten by a developmentally disabled adult after trying to give him a gift, but inadvertently triggers a violent reaction.
  • Main character gets a fish hook stuck in his face.
  • It's implied that a man has been eaten by a snake, we see a huge lump in the snake.
  • Main character is beaten up by the police during an interrogation.
  • A character is seen playing football with developmentally disabled adults in a very rough manner.
  • A man shot with a sniper rifle and presumably killed(no blood and played for laughs).
