10 Hidden Adult Jokes in Popular Kids Movies / Shows
Intro
Since children don�t make great scriptwriters, every show that has ever been intended for
a younger audience was written by adults.
Whether it�s from the tedious nature of the job, or to make their co-workers laugh,
inappropriate humor has been discretely placed in kids entertainment since they started making
it.
Some are obvious, smacking you in the face with its suggestiveness.
Others are subtle, only intended to be caught upon multiple viewings, or maybe not at all.
How these jokes got past the censors, we�re not sure.
One thing is for certain though, as we get older, watching the television shows or movies
we enjoyed as child is usually an eye-opening, and sometimes cheek blushing, experience.
Put the earmuffs and blindfolds on the kiddies, it�s time for 10 Hidden Adult Jokes in Popular
Movies and TV Shows.
Not many shows intended for children pushed the boundaries more than Animaniacs, which
aired during the late 90�s.
The Warner siblings, better known as Yakko, Wakko, and Dot, lived on the Warner Brothers
lot, creating havoc through a variety of animated skits.
While the show was created for a younger audience, it featured parodies of adult movies including
The Godfather.
Still, we�re unsure how everyone missed this moment from the first season.
The episode, Hercule Yakko, is a parody of Agatha Christie and finds the Warner�s leaving
no stone, or superstar, unturned to solve their mystery.
(AUDIO OF �FINGER PRINCE�).
No, your ears aren�t deceiving you.
Dot just declined to put one of her 4 digits inside the Artist Formerly Known as Prince.
After 100 episodes, the show ended in 1998.
So we�ll never know how they intended to party like it 1999.
Rugrats
On Rugrats, the adults are not able to understand the toddlers, the main stars of the show.
Tommy Pickles, his brother Dil, and his buddies Chuckie, Phil and Lil all spoke in �baby
talk�, but understood each other perfectly.
During the episode, Grandpa�s Date, the youngsters probably wished they couldn�t
hear the adults.
Tommy and Chuckie are sleeping over at Grandpa Pickle�s house, while the parents get a
night off.
Once they leave, Granada takes out his video collection, including one that he should have
left hidden in his underwear drawer.
He lists off the titles for the kids, movies about their favorite dinosaur Reptar.
Then, in a cringe-worthy moment, holds up a box for a movie picturing aliens ladies
in bikinis called Lonely Space Vixens.
Fear not, he wasn�t going to show the kids, as he casually remarks, �that�s for later
tonight.�
The Angry Birds Movie
When you�re making a movie based off an app, it�s going to take a lot of hard work
to get people to the theater.
While the movie finds enjoys several instances of wordplay with �flock� and �pluck,�
it also finds time to hit below the belt.
As our hero bird, Red, voiced by Jason Sudeikis, works through his anger issues, and begins
to becomes the leader he was born to be, he finds himself needing to get his additional
avifauna (ey-vuh-faw-nuh) motivated.
So� he informs them to �drop their nuts.� Which is followed by a quick shot of birds
eating actual nuts.
A standard trick used by animators to cover a sly slip-in � just show a literal meaning
of the risque words, and you�re safe.
Maybe they intended to slingshot that joke over our head, but audiences didn�t miss
it.
Justice League Unlimited
If you�re between the ages of 12 and say� alive, you�ve probably wondered about the
performing prowess of your favorite superhero.
Director Kevin Smith echoed many local comic book store conversations in Mallrats, when
main character Brodie discusses the possibility of Superman copulating and how the Fantastic
Four�s powers effected their manhood.
It�s no wonder the writers of Justice League Unlimited couldn�t pass up an easy joke
at how fast The Flash is at fornicating.
Barry Allen is a quick talker, and never one to pass up reminding people he is the fastest
man alive.
During the episode Injustice For All, Hawkgirl questions if the Flash�s speed in the bedroom
is the reason he is having trouble with the ladies.
Ouch.
Robots
Explaining the birds and bees is a right of passage for any parent.
The fine folks at Blue Sky Studios tried to help with their feature film, Robots, by giving
us the nuts and bolts on newborns.
The opening scene of the film show shows Herb and Lydia Copperbottom making a baby.
No, they�re not grinding gears on screen, they�re literally constructing a baby from
their �Build a Baby� kit.
Still, the way Lydia aggressively reminds her husband that making the baby is the fun
part, we�re pretty sure she�s not not talking about a building a LEGO Technic set.
After a couple minutes, they�re finally done, but this scene has one more bit of innuendo
left.
As they coddle the baby, they notice a missing part, which happens to be it�s robotic penis.
Which needs circumcised� with a sledge hammer?
And people worry about robots taking over the planet.
Ratatouille
In 2007, Beuna Vista Pictures and Pixar Studios brought the word ratatouille (rat-ee-too-ee)
to the mainstream.
Telling the story of lousy sous-chef, Alfredo Linguini and his little chef, an easy joke
repeated throughout the movie.
During the film, Alfredo learns the secrets to French cuisine from a rat he keeps in his
hat.
Health board violations aside, after referring to the rat as �Little Chef� to most of
the characters, Linguini finally has to confess his rodent-assisted culinary skills to the
woman of his dreams.
Seizing the moment, the animators used this scene to really pound the wordplay home.
As Alfred struggles to tell Colette his secret, he trips over his own words, which could be
seen as a sweet gesture of embarrassment.
However, every adult knows that Colette thinks his spatula is a little on the small side.
Spongebob Squarepants
Not since Bert and Ernie, have two cartoon characters had a bro-mance like Spongebob
Squarepants and Patrick Starfish.
In a show filled to the brim with overt reference and a barrage of adult-tinged humor � The
Krusty Krab in Bikini Bottom, anyone? - one moment seemed to push the envelope a tad bit
far.
The first episode of Season Two, �Your Shoes Untied,� opens with Spongebob home alone,
watching a sea anemone (uh-nem-uh-ee) swirling around on his television.
As some light jazz plays, he appears transfixed until Gary crawls into the room.
When our favorite sponge who lives in a pineapple under the sea realizes he�s not alone, he
quickly changes the channel to a USFL Football game.
Which begs the question, which is worse?
Spongebob watching sea porn, or Bikini Bottom�s awful sports channels.
The Fintstones
The Flintstones was the first animated prime-time television series, yet it wasn�t actually
a children�s show.
However, it debuted in the 1960�s, a stoic time in American culture when most adults
would not even think about watching a cartoon.
Then again, this was also the only cartoon character to hock cigarettes in commercials.
Since they figured not too many grown-ups would be watching, or at least expecting any
tom-foolery, the writers of this show weren�t very subtle.
Take this moment from the shows second season.
Barney Rubble and Fred Flintstone are shopping for costumes and Barney wants one that makes
him taller.
After Fred drops a pretty lame burn about needing another head, Barney doesn�t hesitate
and makes a rock solid reference to his third head.
Yabba Dabba Awkward.
The Brave Little Toaster Comes to the Rescue
What started as an innocent book for children written by Thomas Disch in 1980, was turned
into hardcore computer action by 1999.
The final movie in the The Brave Little Toaster series, sees our toaster hero and his appliance
friends in a convoluted tale involving computer viruses and black market animal trading.
Near the end of the movie, an old computer is turned on, and by turned on, we mean till
completion.
Literally.
The computer has it�s memory stroked, by an expert, and then before he bursts, he starts
spitting out white paper.
How this scene made it past� well anyone is shocking to us.
After making a computer spray his ones and zeros everywhere, we see why this franchise
became toast.
Hocus Pocus
Every year around Halloween, families gather around to watch Hocus Pocus.
A family-friendly spooky story about three witches brought back to life by a young man,
who happens to be a virgin.
While some adult jokes in kids movies are humorous, this one�s downright scary.
During the battle, the witches are forced to take public transportation.
Which happens to have the sleaziest bus driver ever.
Throughout the bus ride, our determined driver does not give up hitting on the women, even
having Sarah Jessica Parker sit on his lap and drive the bus, as he enjoys every speed
bump they come across.
If this action wasn�t creepy enough, it also seems the bus driver keeps tab on the
local children in the neighborhood.
While we�re pretty sure the reference is to the drivers ability to procreate, given
his lecherous attitude, we�re not entirely so sure.
When you sit down to watch a show with your kids, you are hoping you don�t have to cover
their eyes to avoid all the potty humor.
The good news, the kids rarely get the jokes, and they help keep the grown-ups entertained.
