Dead fish are often shown, especially in "Fish Heads," where many combine into sort of a monstrous zombie that menaces the town. In "Who's That Man in the Mirror?," a dead horse is shown and eaten. In "K'nuckles Is a Filthy Rat," a sick rat appears to be dead for a moment, but isn't actually.

No actual violence, but the main character's caretakers argue constantly over how to raise him. One will sometimes threaten the other or kick him out of their home for the sake of Flapjack's well-being.

In "Love Bugs," adults pressure a child into thinking he's in love when he really isn't for their own selfish gain at the expense of his well-being. It's not necessarily gaslighting, but it is reminiscent.

Only very mildly. In "Rye Ruv Roo," a dog is lightly mistreated and plotted against in cartoonish fashion. In "Oh Brother," a duck is dressed up and made to walk backwards with his head bent back while repeatedly trying to escape, but it's well-intentioned and the duck does get away.

No actual amputations onscreen, but it is alluded to in dialogue, some characters (including one of the mains) have lost limbs, and severed limbs are sometimes shown. Several episodes revolve around lost body parts.

There is one graphic shot of mutilated hands in "Knot Funny." Also, a main character has prosthetic wooden hands that are often broken or splintered.

In "Love Bugs," a child is held in a small room and made to do some real uncomfortable stuff revolving around his alleged crush while he grows progressively sicker and sicker as a result. The adults responsible aren't trying to hurt or punish him, but they are exploiting him for money and don't care about his discomfort.

The main character's biological parents are completely absent and never mentioned at all. It is implied in one episode that another character's grandfather died of old age, but it is revealed at the end that he's alive and well.

It's kind of anti-cop, actually. The main characters are not entirely law-abiding, and the constables are generally shown as inept bullies.

In, ‘Sea Urchins,’ Flapjack calls a group of street kids, “sissies.” K’nuckles also says parties are for sissies in ‘Flapjack Goes to a Party’

The typical stuff (stupid, dumb, dummy, crazy, lame) is thrown around in regular conversation. In "Revenge," sailors with congenital anomalies angrily and tearfully call themselves hideous. "Highlandlubber" features a character with delusions referred to as a lunatic who has escaped from an insane asylum.

In "Something's a Miss," the main character (a young boy who you might say looks, sounds, and acts rather feminine) is repeatedly misgendered because of his voice, and this distresses him so much that he gets surgery to change it. This was drawn from his creator / voice artist's experience and is depicted very earnestly. He is also teased about his appearance in "Flapjack Goes to a Party." In "Who's That Man in the Mirror?," a man is mistaken for a pregnant woman as a running joke about his weight. In "Cammie Island," a monster is briefly misgendered by accident on first meeting.

Very common in Season 2 especially. It's often mean-spirited or self-deprecating; a lot of the time, it's not even really joking, just straight-up insulting. Notably, there is a running joke in "Who's That Man in the Mirror?" where a man is mistaken for a pregnant woman as a running joke about his weight.

No actual graphic blood/gore onscreen, but the show gets away with a lot of references and fake-outs. For example, a character is seen covered in what looks like blood with scary music, but it turns out he's just messily eating jelly sandwiches. "Love Bugs" has bloodsucking insects, but no actual blood is shown (though they are sort of... swollen).
