Sex & Nudity

Moderate
64 of 130 found this moderate
Steve spies with a drone at a sorority house and some nude and topless girls are briefly seen. What episode is it.
Two girls lift up their shirt but it is fully blurred.
Seasons 1 to 2 are in between the line of The Simpsons and Family Guy, but the sexual content started being about on par with Family Guy from Season 3 present. (Seth MacFarlane created these 2 shows)
It is pretty apparent as the show goes on that Roger occasionally rapes men, sometimes playing other characters and sometimes just as himself. This is likely satirizing the popular idea of aliens abducting people and rectally probing them. Occasionally flipped with Roger being the victim of rape.
On TBS, there are occasional uncensored references to fellatio, including use of the words "blow," "bj," and "blowjob."
Frequent raunchy humor, including lewd references to breasts & other body parts. Characters especially Stan are shown taking off their pants, in their underwear, & having sex under the covers. Condoms are also discussed, there are references to "getting boob", masterbation, & boners Women often wear cleavage-revealing clothes.
Contains moderate sexual references, content and partial nudity.
In the earlier seasons, Steve tries to lose his virginity.
This show can seem bad just because it was made but Seth McFarland but it was made for 12+ and after watching it myself I thought it should be for 13+
There is no onscreen sexual activity, but couples are seen lying together in their bed. (sometimes after sex)

Some episodes have slapstick violence. Others have bloody violence, but it's never too extreme.
There's a moderate amount of violence in the show.
American Dad is played towards dark humour specifically, so there is some shootings and violence for the sake of humour.
Some episodes contain almost no violence some contain a lot.
Some episodes have 0 violence in them some have a moderate it never has that much. Way less then family guy.
Some episodes have mild some have moderate it's never more then family guy, around the Simpsons in violence.
Some episodes might be almost as violent than Family Guy, but it's played for shock humour.
