In the Black Sails supermodule I believe it had all sorts of donkey kong references and I think an island of giant animated plush toys as one of the island encounters. The Pirate's Guide toned down the silliness significantly but you can still see it in places. I was not amused to see in the list of crazy minor religious cults "Those who make yellow". Freeport has no slavery, though I'm sure I've seen references to freeport slaving somewhere, maybe it was in Hell in Freeport. Little things like the "God Squad". Mostly it is a fantastic pirate mythos setting and plenty to work with for a truly dark game, but there are little elements that could pop up.</blockquote>
