Some games that appeared in the series shows graphic violence.
The nerd keeps showing blood effect all the time, but it's softened by him catching back with a joke, so the violence is mostly here for comedic effect.
There's a comical fight scene with the Bugs Bunny mascot character fighting the Angry Nerd punching him and throwing him to the floor and telling him to play the NES game Bugs Bunny Crazy Castle.
Nothing really, unless you are referring to the occasional comic violence, that is there for laughs.
The Nerd zaps a Metron in the Star Trek episode.

The Nerd frequently flips off anything that makes him angry.
The most frequent words used in the series are "Fuck", "Shit", "Ass", "Asshole", "Dick" and "Piss".
The theme song used in earlier episodes contains the lines: "He's gonna take you back to the past - To play some shitty games that suck ass," then "He'd rather have - A buffalo - Take a diarrhea dump in his ear" (more potty-mouth than profane), followed by "He'd rather eat - The rotten asshole - Of a roadkill skunk and down it with beer."
Through out the years when James Rolfe (The Actor Who plays the angry video game nerd.) makes behind the scenes of how AVGN episodes are made on his YouTube channel. He always says that the strong profanity is like a traditional trade mark for the character. He says that if it's something that the fans like and find funny. Then he said that he has to keep it up on a daily bases.
Words occasionally used include "Cunt", "Tits", "Jizz", "Damn" and "Bastard". No slurs are used in the series but some earlier episodes did have the word "retarded" in them, but this was because those episodes were products of their time and was a commonplace word.
In the "Amiga CD32" episode, he uses "Bloody", "Wank", "Bollocks" and "Arse" in one scene in an attempt to try and adapt his swears (as Commodore is a British company).
Uses of the F-word can be heard.
Uses of "Ass" can be heard.
Uses of "Cunt" can be heard.
Uses of "Shit" can be heard.

The Polybius episode contains some jumpscares.
Rated TV-MA for pervasive crude language, infrequent sexual content, violence and alcohol consumption.
Jason Voorhees' appearance in the "Friday the 13th" episode can be intense.
The "Super Mario Bros 3" episode features a scene similar to "The Exorcist". Quite disturbing for some viewers.
