The series is known for more innuendo than the science jokes suggest, but rarely explicit. Sits in the gray area mainly on swearing (moderate, in dialogue). Violence is mild but includes Sheldon says, "I was beating him so bad, he doesn’t want to be friends anymore. Why does everyone love…". Sexual content is mild but includes Penny says, "Thank you.
