Low level violence
A man has a chaotic nightmare having heaps of babies who break glass and are nearly stabbed by knives. Some younger viewers might find it disturbing, especially when he ‘wakes up’, but he is still in the nightmare and his friends have the faces of his babies.
A man accidentally kills a man off screen, but it is mostly for laughs.
In one scene, a large tower falls on a man apparently killing him. However we later learn the open window frame landed around him, and he appears in the end credit scenes.
One character eats small rocks like cereal, showing some blood on his teeth when he smiles.
