The film contains a comical musical number titled "Every Sperm Is Sacred" which satirises the Roman Catholic stance against the use of birth control techniques (i.e. condoms). Some of the innuendo includes references to "little rubber things" and "semen spilt in vain".

One scene set within a sex education class contains some very frank discussions on sexual practices. A teacher discusses sexual intercourse in overt detail, including references to foreplay and clitoral stimulation. The teacher demonstrates his teachings by having sex with his wife in front of his class (however the camera is positioned from their shoulders up).

A man sings a song titled "The Penis Song", and it includes colloquialisms such as "stiffy", "prick", "dong", "cock" etc.

A man is chased by a horde of topless women. One extended shot of the women is played out in slow motion. Some of the topless women in this scene can be spotted in a crowd later in the film.

A "live organ transplant" is conducted, where a man has his internal organs forcefully removed. The scene is very gory, however, it is presented in a melodramatic manner for comic effect.

Also includes some other instances of discreet comedic violence throughout the film, such as shootings, severed limbs, and decapitations.

An exceedingly obese man explodes; revealing an unrealistic open chest cavity.

Contains occasional use of "fuck" around 9 total , and some use of milder terms (e.g. "shit").

None of concern.

Some characters may be spotted casually drinking and/or smoking throughout the film.

One character, who is excessively obese, has a tendancy to overeat and vomit profusely. The man eventually explodes, spraying the restaurant and its attendees with vomit.
