Description

One male character makes sexually inappropriate comments and sexually harrasses a female coworker multiple times throughout the show. At some point, another character suggests that the two date (which they do). During S2E6 a man appears unexpectedly and naked in front of a woman. This is played out for laughs but may be distressing for some viewers. S2E15: one character mentions non-consensual sexual relationships among horses. S2E8, S3E4, S5E9: a main character's ex-wife tries to convince him to have sex with her through the use of graphic verbal sexual imagery. This continues after he expresses that he does not want to have sex with her. This is shown in a comedic light, but could potentially be uncomfortable for some viewers. S3E15: a woman places her hand on a man's leg as a sexual advance. S4E1: a storyline follows a man sending a picture of his genitals in an attempt to harass his female coworkers. S4E2: a main character reveals that his ex wife has known him since he was born and has held various positions of authority over him throughout his life (teacher, babysitter, etc). The main plot of the episode is her manipulating him into rekindling their relationship as his friends attempt to steer him away from her. While she is framed as a villain, the matter is not seriously discussed and used mostly for shock value given the comedic nature of the show.
