There is an episode where Jack tells Tracy that the only thing he can’t do is dog fighting, so Tracy wants to do it, but it never actually happens.

plot point around a teacher being fired for “having an affair” with a student, SPOILERS

Frank turns out to be the student. pete hornberger says “a teacher preying on a student is wrong… IF the teacher is male and the student is female. what happened to frank was awesome.” it’s a whole plot point, frank says they were in love. it’s triggering. she shows up later in the episode, is revealed to have gone to prison, etc.

They do this is multiple episodes.... In s5 e17 one of the main story lines is about a teacher sexually assaulting one of the writers when he was 14, and people congratulate him saying what happened to him is "awesome" because the teacher was a woman.

I believe it was s5 e1, but there is a scene where Pete talks about 'making love to my wife' but 'she was asleep so I didn't have to be gentle'. it then shows her from the chest up, appearing to be asleep and looking like she is participating in sexual activities. It's not explicit but could be upsetting

S1 E8- "The Breakup" Tracy around 18mins into the episode is very 'over the top' sick during a skit.

S1 E11- "The Head and the Hair"- Liz pretends to be sick on the street at about 12mins into the episode after calling in "fake sick" to work.

S1 E20- "Cleveland"- No v* but an unhoused man spits directly into Liz's mouth at around 8min 30secs. Might be triggering for some.

S2 E5- "Greenzo" Liz throws up on someone in a party scene flashback @ 17mins 50secs. Audio and visuals.

S2 E15- Kenneth v* into a bucket at 18mins 20secs after throwing his application "discus style" into the office. Audio and visual.

S3 E16- "Apollo Apollo"- Little Jack throws up at the end of his birthday video. Visuals no audio (around 3.5mins in to episode). Adult Jack throws up into a bucket at end of episode after laughing hard over what he sees Liz doing on the monitor (around 20mins in). No major audio or visuals.

S3 E17- "Cutbacks" Flashback at about 4mins into the episode showing a brief a clip of Tracy v*ing from a previous season.

S4 E7- "Dealbreakers"- Lutz is sick about 4.5mins into the episode when Liz asks him to be in charge.

S4 E16- "Floyd" Floyd almost throws up whilst on The Today Show (around 18.5mins into the episode). He then has a bucket in the background until the end of the ep but doesn't throw up.

S5 E6- "Gentlemen's Intermission"- Flashback of Tracey projectile vomiting from a previous episode. Brief but unexpected as it shows up during a montage of his fake obituary that he & Kenneth are watching (at around 3.5mins into the episode).

S5 E15- Editing lady says she has food poisoning at about 8.5mins into the episode. Looks sick and runs out of the room but nothing happens.

S5 E18- "Plan B" 14mins into the episode Will Arnett's character mentions that his baby threw up and you can see dried up v* on his shoulder. He then says it was actually him shortly after. But no actual v*ing.

S5 E20- "100, Part 1"- Hannibal Buress as a homeless guy throws up green on Lutz immediately after he says it's hard to concentrate because it's so nice outside. Full visual and audio. Very sudden and unexpected and graphic. Lutz remains covered in v* for the remainder of the scene. Not long after Jenna walks up and speaks to Liz. Liz does a spit-take after hearing her news. Starts around 10.5mins into the episode then ends around 12mins.

The scene returns @ about 16mins with Lutz looking ill and mentioning that the smell of v* is making him feel sick and he gags.

S6 E10- "Standards & Practices"- About 1.5mins into the episode, in Jack's office, a clip of kids from Jenna's show comes on the TV and the boy throws up. Brief audio and visual.

S6 E11- "St Patrick's Day"- At 20mins Liz says something important to Chris as he is serving hot dogs at hsi van. Straight afterwards a drunken reveller is seen v* beside the van. A clip shown 30secs later on Jenna & Tracey's broadcast of that scene does not re-show the v*.

S7 E2- "Governor Dunston" @ 10mins 45secs into the episode Frank bursts into Liz's office and turns on the TV to see Tracey's doppelganger throwing up into a cowboy hat after eating too much chilli. Full audio and visual but only lasts a few seconds.

Season 1 episode 12 features an "inbred prince" with comedy centered around puppet limbs in a wheelchair, being too weak to blow out candles, and fatal allergies.
Season 1 episode 20, It is suggested that a studio lawyer promotion is given to someone because he is black and in a wheelchair. In a later episode someone mentions in passing that he thinks the guy is faking.

Jane Krakowski wears a fat suit to indicate that her character has gained weight. This is a central plot line in the episode. She uses the catchphrase "me want food" a number of times.

When being fat no longer serves her she immediately loses the weight/takes off the fat suit
