Sex & Nudity
Moderate
Seasons 1 to 2 had sexual jokes that were not worse, but after Season 3, these sexual jokes started becoming more borderline graphic and explicit (no actual sex is shown, but it is joked about). Nudity is also shown, but it's always blurred on TV and uncensored on DVD.
Many episodes deal with strippers dressed in revealing and scantily clad clothing.
In the Season 4 episode "PTV", many flashbacks of sexual acts and nudity are shown during the song "The Freakin' FCC" but they don't last too long.
Glenn Quagmire is a sexual pervert, though this is meant to be comical. He does many things that would be illegal in the real world, and he is also heard having sex a lot but this is never shown graphically. However, it is shown occasionally but it is brief.
One episode shows Peter and Lois lying down on the couch naked while they are high but everything is strategically obscured. On TV, they are in their underwear.
Characters are heard having sex throughout, but it is never graphic and it's usually brief.
On the DVDs up to Season 4, all graphic nudity was either blurred (on TV) or obscured, but after Season 4 however, all graphic nudity is actually shown if it isn't obscured, but since this is an animated show, it isn't that bad.
Most of the time, male genitalia is covered by their stomachs.
Some episodes also deal with pornography, but it is never shown in explicit detail (one episode shows clown porn, but they are in their underwear in the video).
Rear nudity is shown quite frequently in the series.
Many gay and lesbian characters appear in the show and some are shown making love.
One scene shows Adam West flashing the convenience store clerk. This is played for laughs as it's blurred on TV, but his penis is shown on the DVD versions.
When Peter fights with Homer in Springfield, several men and women are seen naked (seen from behind).
The Griffins' neighbor, Mr. Herbert, is a pedophile.
All of the nudity and sexual stuff is either cut or censored on the streamed versions, especially on TV.
Frank sex talk.
There are quite a lot of sexual innuendos and references.
Herbert is a sex offender who has attractions for kids, most notably Chris Griffin.
It is implied in some episodes, Meg and Chris have an incestous relationship.
In season 1 or 2 it's the one where they fight for something like a trophy and the womans buttocks are shown for 17 sec
Frequent sexual innuendo and references --sometimes subtle, sometimes overt.
Peter is nude a lot, but his weight hides his frontal area.
Lots of sexual innuendo & references --sometimes subtle, sometimes overt.
Violence & Gore
Severe
The older episodes to Season 3 don't have that much violence. However, in the newer ones past Season 3, the violence is surprisingly strong. It's about on par with South Park.
There are scenes with comical pratfalls, but there are others with pretty bad falls.
The entire show is made to be funny, not violent, but the violence could be over the top though, and the creator (Seth MacFarlane) intended it to be this way. Hence, why it's called dark comedy.
Meg gets pushed around by bullies and by Peter. She's pretty much the punching bag of the show, but it is played for laughs.
In fights, some graphic injuries include black eyes, bloody noses and teeth knocked out.
In a cutaway, after being forced to smile, Droopy Dog kills himself. The result has a lot of blood with a large splatter on his chest. You never see his dead body but some blood is seen in a little closing circle.
Bloody violence is done realistically. Violence has included shootings, beatings, violence against women and children, accidental violence, violence against animals (slaughter or animal cruelty), animals mauling people or other animals, death, dying, and depictions of loss in general.
The violence can be very graphic at times.
There are remakes of some Star Wars movies but it is bloodier and it also contains swearing.
Throughout the show, Peter survives many injuries that would kill a person in real life.
Stewie beats up Brian with his fists, golf club, and shoots him in both knees and sets a flame thrower on him when he wasn't given any money. This is comical violence but it's still bloody.
A Season 9 episode shows a murder mystery. This episode shows some serious blood.
In one episode, Chris runs with scissors. Peter tells him "You run like a girl", and he kills himself with the scissors he's holding. Large amounts of blood spray from him and it goes all over the room.
Season 16 is by far the most gruesome and violent season.
The violence is comical because there is dark humor throughout, but still can be graphic and disturbing.
Plenty of slapstick violence (some of it gory) played for humor, including shootings and beatings, but no main characters face lasting life-threatening injury. Blood is displayed on several occasions. Meg is pushed around by high schoolers. One character has his penis bit off by a shark. Peter owns a gun and occasionally takes it out, mostly shooting himself by accident. A minor character dies via suicide.

Profanity
Severe
Mild profanity is used very frequently.
The earlier seasons are more tamer than the newer seasons.
Stewie sometimes says phrases like: "What the devil", meaning "what the hell", and he also says "What the deuce".
There are uses of mild words such as "hell" and "damn" but they're used pretty frequently.
"Cunt" is only used about twice but it is replaced by "bitch" on TV.
There are many uses of Mild profanity, such as "Hell", "Damn", "Bastard", "Ass", and "Piss". There are also uses of Moderate profanity such as "Bitch", "Dammit", "Dick", "Prick", "Slut", "Whore", and "Cock". Severe profanity is also used in the series such as "Fuck" and "Shit".
Season 10 has the most uses of the F-word throughout the series. If not, Season 12.
Stronger words like "fuck" and "shit" are bleeped on TV and on some streaming sites like Hulu, but on DVD and other streaming sites like Netflix are uncensored. However, they were still bleeped on the Season 1-3 DVDs.
Infrequent uses of offensive slurs like "slut", "whore", "skank", "hoe", "tranny" and "shemale".
Sometimes when Peter gets hurt or specifically fell down the stairs, he would yell R-rated cuss words like "fuck" and "cock."
On the DVDs, Jesus is used but it's hard to hear as it's mostly said by Peter and Brian.
Season 4 is uncensored on Hulu.
The heavy profanity is censored on Disney+.
"Suck," "god," "jesus," "crap," "piss," "hell," "damn," "ass," "bitch," "bastard," "whore," "slut," and "dick" respectively, with all expletives stronger than the ones listed here censored due to FCC regulations.
All profanity used that is PG, PG-13, and R is very common.
Goddamn was used only for season 5 to season 10.
Pretty frequent use of Mild to Severe language like "damn", "hell", "bitch", "whore", "skank", "ass", etc, plus lewd references to body parts and transphobic slurs.
Pretty strong language of rated TV-14, this could pushed to rated TV-MA due to lot of swearing.
Pretty frequent use of words like "damn", "hell", "bitch", "whore", "skank", & "ass", plus lewd references to body parts & transphobic slurs.
Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking
Moderate
Peter getting drunk is common on this show. This is played for laughs like Homer's alcoholism on "The Simpsons".
Almost every type of drug has been used or at least referenced, with drugs like Weed, Cocaine, Crack, Bath Salts, Heroin, LSD, Opioids, and Meth.
The main characters are shown smoking weed in some episodes.
In one episode, Stewie and Chris vape.
Alcohol: Characters drink beer and wine frequently. Smoking/Drugs: Characters use marijuana, and other drugs are referenced.
Characters drink beer & wine frequently. Characters use marijuana, & other drugs are referenced.
Peter and Lois drink wine at a special dinner. They don't get drunk though.
Frightening & Intense Scenes
Mild
The show's violence can be disturbing to some.
Bullying happens occasionally. Some kids get pushed around and beaten up, which may disturb some young viewers. But this show isn't for young kids anyways, and it's more for teenagers and adults.
A kid pushes Stewie into the sandbox.
The show can be extremely dark at times.
Some jokes can be racist and offensive.
The portrayal of Jesus may offend religious viewers.
Seasons 1 to 9 should be OK for 13 year olds, but the rest of the seasons should be for 15 year olds. However, the reason why they are saying it is 18+ is because people are watching the later uncut seasons.
There are many racist jokes about slavery and color. Some people find it funny but it is very offensive.
