SEX/NUDITY 5 - Nearly all the sex in this film is played for laughs. A little sexual innuendo, including references to herpes, adultery and animal sex. A man puts a pineapple up another man's buttocks; a man puts a flask up another man's buttocks (we don't actually see any bare buttocks). A big bird humps a clothed man from behind, and a dog humps another from behind and "talks" dirty to it. A Peeping Tom watches a woman undress in her bedroom; we see her take off her shirt and massage the tops of her breasts with her bra still on. A man's skull turns into a pair of breasts (obviously looks fake). A man drops his pants on the street but we only see his bare legs. We see a woman in her bra, several scantily clad women during a couple of scenes at a strip club (no nudity), a man's bare chest through an open robe, and a shirtless cross dresser in women's underwear who plays with his nipples (we see him several times in the movie).

VIOLENCE/GORE 5 - Nearly all the violence in this film is played for laughs. A man is hit by a truck and blood splatters on two men. A man emits a light beam that kills a man; he explodes and splatters all over a crowd of people. A few people are run over by a subway train, another is hit by a bus, and several people in wheelchairs crash into a bus. A man tries to drown a man to death in a bath tub. A man slowly loses his body, piece by piece; one time his ear falls off, next his legs, and by movie's end he's nothing but a mouth and arms. A boy shoots a man with a slingshot and he falls out of a tree, a woman hits a man over the head with a brick, a man is kicked and punched in the head several times, a man punches his own crotch several times, a man pushes another down several stairs, a man grabs two others by the neck, a man hits another over the head with a pillow several times, a dog shoots an arrow from its butt and it goes into a man's leg, water from a fire hydrant knocks a man through a glass window, a man walks into a lamp post, several people fall into hell, a man's hair catches on fire, several men jump into a fire but aren't hurt, and a man blows fire out of his mouth. A man turns into a bunch of spiders, and a man turns into a bat. A man shoves his finger up his nose and pulls a man out of his head; also, a man comes out of another man's mouth. A man eats a bat, a woman spits into a man's mouth, a drunken 10 year-old kid vomits, and a dog urinates on a welcome mat.
