Some uses of bastard

Jokes referring to homosexuality are used in the show.

Characters using stronger words like "fuck, shit, dick" are always comedically censored (loud music playing over them, being abruptly cut off).

Occasional expletives and name calling throughout.

The only time you ever hear "shit" being used is in a deleted scene from The One with the Cheap Wedding Dress.

In one episode, after Phoebe plays a game and loses, she yells "YOU SON OF A-" and then yells the b-word in slow motion. Then Ross and his son come in and realize what was going on. Ross tries to cover the kid's ears because he didn't want him to hear Phoebe yell the b-word. This scene can be very frightening for children.

A couple of episodes show people too drunk to think straight and do something stupid.

There is a running gag about a main character being an ex-smoker and another about one of the character's parents being a secret smoker.

Joke about planting PCP to attract police attention. It never happens and is just a comedic line.

Alcohol consumption and characters get drunk sometimes.

Characters smoke cigarettes in several episodes; there is a recurring story arc that Chandler is an ex-smoker who frequently lapses under stress.

Phoebe's mother commited suicide, which quite often is mentioned throughout the series. Phoebe mostly talks about it as if it hadn't affected her. For example, when Monica speaks about a weird thing her mother did, Phoebe answers: "my mum used to put her head in the oven... It was pretty weird" (laughter from the audience). Despite the dark humor, this is played for laughs.

This series deal with divorce, single parenthood, infertility, and more. The topics are treated sensitively but with the irreverence expected from a sitcom.

No frightening content however there is some infrequent emotional scenes in at least every season once or twice, which can be found intense.
