Insane adult jokes in cartoons you used to watch as kids

I was talking to my sister yesterday and she told me she recently rewatched The Rugrats Movie from 1999. She was shocked by how many adult jokes they managed to get away with in it, and I went to rewatch it myself just to see what she was talking about. Right out of the gate, Angelica's mother has this line; "You know what they say, if born under Venus, look for a-"

Anyone else got examples of jokes in cartoons you watched as a kid with adult jokes that flew over your head?

Parents
  • Brilliant. 

    You would be amazed how much they put into kids cartoons to keep parents entertained. They know if it has jokes for the parents they are more likely not to mind it, and then let their kids watch it more often. Not necessarily rude things, just very relatable moments. Hey duggee had that appeal, I think Bluey might be one like that too.

  • Yeah, I've heard Bluey has gained a lot of adult fans

    A lot of Steven Spielberg cartoons like Animaniacs and Pinky and The Brain were heavy on adult humor as well.

    "I am a pianist!" "You can't say that, this is a family show!" "But that's what I am! A pianist!"

    "We need to find prints!" *finds The Artist Formerly Known As Prince* "No, fingerprints!" "...I don't think so!"

    "Come, Pinky! We must go to the place where beautiful women are paid to change clothes!" "Charlie Sheen's house?" "No, the fashion show!"
