Alanis: YES, Alasdair?
Alasdair: Alanis If if you won't go with me to the network party, I'm just going to have to kill myself, that's all.
Alanis: Oh, Alasdair. How touching. I really want to help you. Okay.
Alasdair: You'll come?
Alanis: No, I'll go.
Alasdair: You'll go? Great!
Alanis: I'll go and get my father's gun.

Well there was the teacher Mr Schidtler (although It was pronounced "$hitler") who had a mustache like Adolph Hitler, I don't think that would fly now a days.
Also there was a lot of political commentary, don't know if that would work today -

How about that the dad, barth, and the executioner always had a lit cigar? (you can see the smoke a lot of the time.)
Or a sketch i remember where Doug as the Jiffy Genie is about to cut of the moms hands with a sword (becuase he is there to remove dish pan hands!)
The Episode where the soviets take over and they are slimed when they say work, would be looked at as promoting racism towards russians.
I would also imagine animal rights activists would object to the Barth scenes where they talk about cats in the burgers.
The more i think about how un-pc this show is, the more i appreciate it! -

I think some of those things would fly today, even though these times really are a drag with the restrictions, including overprotecting the kids instead of leaving it up to the parents which kids shows their kids can watch.

Uh that's why Cowboy Bebop, and Inuyasha among other animes are played very late at night on Adult Swim is for the language alone not sure if Cartoon network plays that stuff any more personally I miss them playing that (they used around 11:00 PM just after Space Ghost. gosh I miss 1997
It was a fun show with a bunch of kids making fun of adult situations who cares what color they are!? All white, all black, all purple gee we know your preference nothing like restricting the limits of whom directors can hire for 30+ years Diversity can be great, some times it can be limiting.

Another sketch who probably coudn't be shown today is that one showed during an opposite sketch in the 1982 "Culture junk" episode.

Looks like the Youtube link is broken, I found another clip showing the scene.
Also one guy did this blog post
http://xenophobe.net/tag/bella-and-the-bulldogs/
about Bella and the Bulldogs with a mention of YCDTOTV with a mention of a clip showing Lisa "Motormouth" Ruddy in a skit who won't be made today.

I don't think any of the firing squad/execution sketches would make it on to a kids' show. But I don't see why a Hitler mustache would be any less acceptable today than 25 years ago. Michael Jordan was allowed to sport one in a commercial.
