- Sex is a constant theme of most episodes, with discussion, references, and comments about sexual activities continuously in each episode. Also lots of comments about strippers and porn. While no nudity is shown, couples sleep together and are shown in bed together a lot.
- There is a part in one episode where the characters are playing strip Happy Days game. We see someone in a bra and it is implied that a character has nothing but his boxers on but we only see the top of him as he is sitting down.

- One of Ross's ex-wives divorced him after having an affair with a woman and discovering she was lesbian. She then goes on to be the centre of many lesbian jokes throughout the series.
- In one episode, Chandler enters Monica and Rachel's apartment whilst Rachel is having a shower. Rachel enters the room nude from the waist up, not noticing Chandler. When she sees him, she screams and covers herself up. This scene becomes a running joke and the main plot point of the episode.

- 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.

Frightening & Intense Scenes
-
- 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.
