Dr. Venture was mentally abused by his father as a child which is brought up a lot. There are multiple instances of sexual abuse; Center in S2E7 by Baron Ünderbheit, implied uncomfortably (but later retconned) in S4E2, and mentions of sexual abuse by a secondary character, Sergeant Hatred, to the Venture twins and others in the past and the characters issues with pedophilia are center for several episodes and frequently brought up.

In the beginning Dr. Venture is addicted to diet pills, this stops as seasons go on. Action Johnny was a drug addict and this is a main point for his character until he recovers in S4E6. The Pirate Captain uses tranquilizers on himself which is implied to be a drug to him, he is forced to quit.

Dean is a frequent victim. his crush on Triana often is used to make jokes about him being a horny teenager, with him getting aroused onscreen multiple times (one episode even has Triana's father intentionally arousing him so that he may use his magic to locate him). He is depicted in one episode wearing the slave Leia outfit from Star Wars, resulting in him being mistaken for a woman and Underbeit attempting to marry him. Dean drops his pants in front of the entire wedding reception and again at the end of the ep when his towel falls. Hank also gets a few moments; in one episode he gets a crush on Molotov and gets an erection onscreen after she performs cpr on him. In another episode he wears a strength suit with an incredibly shapely woman figure and remains in it for several eps after, though no one makes much comment or fuss about it other than that he was staring to smell after wearing it nonstop. Much more uncomfortable is Hatred's earlier appearances in which he would refer to children as attractive (using wording that I am not going to) and his storyline with overcoming his "urges".

Hunter Gathers design can be seen as particularly transphobic / is played off as a joke for a while. Dr. Girlfriend is insinuated several times to be a transwoman by characters because of her deep voice, which can be seen as transphobic.

There is a scene in which Hank and Dean are revealed to sexually experiment with each other. Dean sleeping with Sirena because he misses when it was just him and Hank could easily be read as more than brotherly love.
