Sex & Nudity
Mild
Several women are shown only wearing bikinis in one episode. There not very revealing and there breasts aren't outlined.
In one episode Jake is a Zombie and bites Lady Rainicorn after they find a cure and everyones back to normal she says that she wanted him to bite her anyway and then this makes Jake laugh suggestively
Adventure Time contains a lot of sexual metaphors (both verbal and visual) and in some cases it goes beyond what's considered "mild".
Characters kiss on the mouth, on the cheek or (rarely) with tongue.
Butts are seen throughout the series.
Women in bikini is seen sometimes.
In the episode "What Is Life?" a brief scene shows the Ice King (a character that liked kidnapping princesses) reading what appears to be a nudie magazine on his bed. There are also heavy undertones of procreation in this episode, including claims that the Ice King's lightning bolts made him the "father" of a robot they revived.
In "Burning Low", Jake explains to Finn the "15 Tiers" of a relationship where tier 1 is "hugging", tier 2 is "smooching", tier 5 is "looking at her fifteen-feet beautiful stomach" and tier 8 is "touching her horn for the first time" (however this was said thinking of Lady Rainicorn). Then Finn asks about tier 15 and Jake says "stay away from that!".
In one episode, Finn and two other people are naked with logs covering their crotch. The log moves up and down as the characters walks or move. The original design had beavers instead of logs, but this was changed due to CN censorship.
Visual innuendo includes: Cake increasing in size and explicitly shaking her giant butt ("Bad Little Boy"), Finn putting spaghetti in PB's mouth ("To Cut a Woman's Hair"), Finn following a female getting into a shower ("Marceline's Closet") and some characters playing "games" in a bed ("Love Games"). Also, Hunson Abadeer's design looks like human genitalia, as the own crew recognised.
Jake made a "special" video for his girlfriend Lady Rainicorn as seen in "The Pit". In one episode, she's pregnant, and in another episode we see their five children.
Finn and Jake play to put the finger in things in the episode "Five More Short Graybles". Even BMO does a suggestive gesture while wanting to "stick their fingers into 'these holes'", refeering to the controllers.
In the episode "Blood Under the Skin", Finn crosses the Swamp of Embarrassment, where there are a lot of curtains with a lot of people having a shower and with their parts covered (some offscreen). Finn is called a pervert and he repeats that he is not, and a man says "My most private parts seen by a boy!" and "my privates!", that are said twice in that episode. At the end he comes completely embarrassed with a red face or blushed.
The episode "All the Little People" is full of suggestive content; this includes Finn investigating about how the little people interact with others. This episode was banned in CN Latin America.
Lady Rainicorn and Jake is set-up for "seven minutes in heaven" by Finn. He places them inside a closet.
In the episode "Breezy" there are a few innuendos which include the implication of LSP made it with Finn (she says things like "I know all about your dirty deeds" or "I didn't wait infinity for a dip in the kiddie pool! We're taking this to the deep end!") or Breezy calling herself "a virgin queen bee".
Ricardio the Heart Man threatens to cut out Bubblegum's heart and make out with it.
In an episode a book called "butt stuff" appears quickly onscreen.
In some episodes looks like Jake enjoys with his feet being licked ("Another Way"). Even in an episode ("Freak City") he says to Finn that "he's too young to understand" that.
In the Tree Fort where Finn and Jake live, can be seen on a wall a ripped image of an apparently naked woman. However, according to a crew member of the show, it represents "a woman in a crappy snapped bikini".
Verbal innuendo is somewhat more frequent. Some lines include "I wanna watch you two do things... for this bag of money", "someone hit in the boingloings", "I kinda like bein' tied up in these cords. Kinda freaky!" and many other examples scattered through the show. Some episodes even contain the words "hot", "sexy" and "virile".
Some songs also contain references to "having babies"; one of them has the following lyrics: "Come on! Give it to me! Don't flaunt it if you're not gonna give it up!"
Violence & Gore
Moderate
In an episode where these little people are terrorising Finn and Jake the both of them decide to use ketchup as a fake effect of blood when they kill them.
Even most of the violence present in this cartoon is mild and it's mostly towards fantasy characters (think of punches, kicks, swordfights... and the consequent bruises and scratches), in some cases this can be a little more graphic and even include red blood and gore, but that's rare.
The series mainly takes place in a post-apocalyptic world. The opening has a dismembered arm inside a hollow tree. Very fast, can't be seen without pausing. Fans think the arm belongs to Shoko.
In "The Enchiridion", Finn kills a monster shaped as a heart, red blood sprouts all over. Very brief and the blood might have not stained anything.
Some decapitation of small parts (noses and hands), or limb removal, mauling (i.e. arms chopped off) throughout the series, but no blood, only flesh wounds.
Several fight scenes are played out for humor. For example, there is a character named Ash, who everyone hates, since he is a douche. Marceline kicks his crotch and Finn starts beating him up with her. Finally Jake stomps him with his giant foot. Even the Ice King (Simon Petrikov) in one episode punches him with no good reason.
In "Who Would Win", Finn and Jake start beating up each other, because they are proving themselves who is more resilient. Both of them have lots of nasty looking bruises and cuts.
In "Freak City", the Magic Man turns a bird inside out making it show the birds guts, flesh and everything else.
Some scatological humor, including spitting and visible green vomit in some episodes, when the characters are disgusted. For example, Jake explicitly vomits into a jacuzzi in the episode "Jake the Dog". Farting is more frequent.
In "A Glitch is a Glitch", a pale skinned, creepy looking woman in a TV eats her own hair. She gags a lot, and is all the time ready to vomit. Jake and Finn are absolutely disgusted.
In "Princess Potluck", Finn has a rash on his leg in one episode. Some kind of disgusting pink liquid/puss drips from it.
Skeletons are seen in some episodes also, walking skeleton get smashed. Some characters practice necromancy.
In "Princess Monster Wife", the Ice King stole parts of other princesses bodies and made a monster out of them. Princess Bubblegum got half her face torn-off to set an example.
In "Daddy's Little Monster", a demon gets half his body torn off by a laser. All his insides show.
In "Return of the Nightosphere", a demon starts vomiting bananas and another one gets his head turned into abdominal muscles.
When Hunson Abadeer (The lord of evil), appears from The Nightosphere (Hell), he reconstructs himself to the real world in a gory manner. All his organs, blood and skin stick together, and create him in a brief (half a second) scene. This happens in "It Came from the Nightosphere" and in "Marcy & Hunson".
In "All Your Fault", is seen that Castle Lemongrab has rooms filled with guts, a room with a giant heart and a room with a monster that peels it's skin off to reveal it's skull.
In "Escape from the Citadel", The Lich has skin peeling off his ancient, rotten flesh and what seems to be veins hanging from his arms. He looks very disturbing indeed.
In "Mortal Folly", Finn presumably "kills" the Lich by shoving a sweater inside his (the Lich's) eye socket, and proceeds to pull through the other socket so that the sweater comes out between the sockets. And it does, breaking the Lich's skull.
In "Goliad", the homonymous character squashes an innocent bee.
In "The Pit", a demon sucks up almost all of Jake's blood. The blood is shown. A sword is made out of a demon's blood.
In "Mystery Dungeon", a rat appears on scene and grabs a pie, then Lemongrab punches it and kills it and he starts to eat that pie from its mouth.
In "The Great Bird Man", we see the eyes (with their roots) from a man, and they're put on and extracted at some points of an episode.
Some scenes from the miniseries "Stakes" include fingers briefly burning from the sun, a neck being pierced, a stake coming from the skin, animals dying and a character sucking blood from a horse.
In the episode titled "The Jiggler" a creature that Finn and Jake take home becomes violently ill and spews what appears to be blood or vomit out of many orifices of its body. In an effort to stop the leakage, Finn and Jake plug up the holes, only to have the creature expand and eventually burst. Jake and Finn are covered in twisted strands of the creature's body as Jake remarks "Our pet exploded".
References to violence and situations of threat are also frequent; this include "slay you and munch your eyeballs", "rip your throat", "unzip your skin", "rip your heart", "my head will be decapitated", "we'll suck their guts out through their brains", "pull that arm", etc. None of this finally occurs.
Profanity
Mild
The language is tame. Words such as "Oh my glob!" are used. Words like "Heck", "Dang", "Jerk", "What the-" are used frequently. Words like "freaking", "flipping", "fudge" or even "son of a-" are sometimes used. Characters often use "bleep-bloop", "bullstuff", "what the blood" or something like that to censor themselves.
Both "suck" and "crap" were used in the Season 1 episode, "Rainy Day Daydream."
Other words like "Turd" have been used.
In one episode a worm rises up behind a statues fist. It looks like the statue is giving the middle finger, and Treetrunks gets offended by it.
Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking
None
Princess Bubblegum pours herself a glass of what appears to be alcohol in one episode. A character is named Root Beer Guy and his head has the shape of a beer mug.
In one episode a character is seen smoking a bubble pipe.
Ice King sees magical creatures and spirits with his "wizard eyes" ("Mortal Recoil"). An hallucinogen is mentioned briefly in another episode ("The Real You").
Frightening & Intense Scenes
Moderate
Emotionally intense scenes when the show refers to character's backstories.
In one episode, Magic Man opens a door by constantly cracking and breaking his wrist.
The finale, 'Come Along with Me', is very emotional.
Normally a cartoon that is not scary but at times Adventure Time can be very intense, propitiated by its detail-oriented animation style. The characters and their facial expressions, the backgrounds and the scenes can be creepy, specially to children; see also the "Violence & Gore" section. Not to count that the show has a dark tone overall.
Lemongrab eats Lemongrab 2 once and is next time seen with a chunk of his face bit off and he has no torso. Lemongrab 2 is eaten again and is seen again inside the stomach of Fat Lemongrab with a larger chunk of his face bit off.
The Nightosphere is essentially hell. The creator himself even referred to it as "one of the coolest depictions of Hell on TV."
Any episode involving The Lich can be intense. Also, speaking of said character, he has an extremely frightening and nightmarish appearance that is potentially terrifying for viewers, especially younger ones, and talks in a similarly creepy demonic-sounding voice.
It should be noted that on non-US airings of this show on TV, the episodes have been very heavily censored and cut. For example, in UK and Australian airings, almost every episode has had several edits made to it. Sometimes entire segments have been cut, or even banned (but it's very rare).
