People Reveal The Dirty Adult Jokes In Kid Movies That No One Ever Notices
Famous movie makers like Disney and other cartoon creators make entertaining content for children, however they sometimes slip in extra blips of entertainment of the adult kind. Often times these instances are overlooked because they go by quickly, or you might not even expect them given that it's a children's show.
Naweezy asks:
What are some adult jokes we might have missed in shows and movies for kids?
You might be surprised that some of these even exist!
Bugs Bunny, who knew!?
I may be too late for this, but I always think of the Bugs Bunny cartoon where he calls into a game show and they give him a crazy math problem. Like, a 6 digit number times another 6 digit number.
And Bugs nails the answer without hesitation, looks at the camera like Jim from The Office and goes "if there's one thing us rabbits know how to do, its multiply!"
Was she baking muffins all the time or...
There was an episode of Dexter's laboratory where the father kept going on about Dexter's mother's muffin, and saying he only married her for her muffin. The whole episode was filled with innuendo
Oh yea, she knew what she was doing
I rewatched Mrs. Doubtfire recently. Jokes about "hope you're up to a little competition...she's got her own personal jackhammer in there..." and "up for a bit of the cunning linguistics, eh?" among others.
You can decide what this means for you...
There was an episode of Cow and Chicken where cow joined a group called the water buffalo gals. This was a group of short haired women on motorcycles that burst into other peoples homes to munch on thier carpet.
That's a deep reference
There's an episode of Rugrats where Stu and Didi invite everyone over to watch a slideshow of their vacation, which is painfully boring for everyone. There's a part where one of the grandparents is seen on the phone saying "Hello? Dr Kevorkian?"
As a kid you laugh going Oh hes so bored he's sick, as an adult you realize Kevorkian was famous for giving his patients assisted suicides.
That's a curious comment
In jimmy neutron jimmys dad said that he "sat on a banana" and it changed his life forever.
It's the subtle things
when buzz lightyear see the cowgirl jessie for the first time, his wings spring out of his back.
Helga always had intense reactions to Arnold
Just rewatched Hey! Arnold and there's a few things that I got now as an adult but my boyfriend and I flipped out when Helga was going off on how much she loves Arnold and she said "you make my girlhood tremble." We both were like "wait did she just say that?!?" Idk how parents back then didn't trip about that but it was funny.
It was a balloon?
In The Mask, when Jim Carrey pulls out a "balloon" and says "sorry, wrong pocket", child me had no idea that was a condom.
Wow, she did that!
Same scene in the Grinch when a baby lands on a doorstep and the dad says to his wife "looks just like your boss". I didn't get that joke for years.
Oh dear!
In Ratatouille when Linguini is trying to explain about Remy to Colette he says: "I have a tiny little.. um..." and she glances down at his crotch.
I think they were just really good friends
In Rocko's Modern Life, when the hotel clerk is checking Rocko and Heffer in for a room. He tells them the next room would be available in 20 minutes, and then proceeds to ask them how long they'd be staying. Rocko says "All night". "All night? whistles okay" the hotel clerk replies.
Did Ed even own a garden?
That Ed Edd and eddy scene where Ralph is saying to Ed 'your garden is over grown and your cucumbers are soft!'
There is no way a child could know what that means
In Animaniacs, Yacko says that people who criticize plotholes in children's cartoons must be so lonely that their socks can stand up by themselves.
Of course Sponge Bob would say that...to his pet snail
SpongeBob dressed as a pirate, holding two bars of soap, talking to Gary
"These are doubloons, Gary! Don't drop em!" ;)
Took me a few years to get that one
What's his shoe size?
In Frozen, Ana tells Kristoff about how she's going to marry Hans. Kristoff says she can't marry him because she just met him, and he asks her loads of questions about Hans to see how well she knows him. One of the questions is "[What is his] foot size?" . Ana replies "Foot size doesn't matter."
She definitely read him
In Justice League, Flash goes "I'm the fastest man alive," then I think Hawkgirl goes "that explains why you can't get a date."
Oh Patrick!
There is one in the Spongebob movie where he says "Patrick your genius is showing" and he looks at his crotch and says "where?!"
Ouch!
Lord Farquaad's castle. "D'ye think he's compensating for something?"
That does seem a little forward
Space Jam. The scene where Lolla Bunny walks into the gym and Bugs Bunny gets stiff as a board and falls to the ground.
I can't definitively say I've come face to face with the spirits. But I have had some unsettling feelings in the dark. Shadows are just shadows sometimes, but who can be sure.
I hear it...
Nbc Wings GIF by HULUGiphy"I was helping my dad clean my grandma's house after she passed and I went in and was trying to find a song in my phone and before I could I heard a cough plain as day come from down the hallway where her room was. She died of lung and throat cancer it was pretty crazy."
Running Past...
"When I was 5 I remember getting home from my grandpa's birthday party. For context my mom was pregnant with my brother at the time, so my parents had already bought his crib. I woke up in the middle of the night to find a women in a white dress and long black hair standing over my brother's crib. I managed to wake up my dad so he could take me to the bathroom. When I got back it was still there. It was only until morning when it disappeared. Every now and then I see a glance of what I assume is that thing running past the backyard."
The Cat
"My best friend and his wife had moved to a new apartment. I came over to visit a few times, and each time I'd see the motion of a cat in my peripheral vision. Not the image of a cat, but a sense of how a cat moves. Anyway, one day I finally cracked some joke about the ghost cat in the place and his wife was instantly saying "See! See! I told you we had a ghost cat!"
"excuse me"
"I worked graveyard shift in a dementia ward for 4 years and it was anything but quiet. I was working with a nurse one night when we both heard a resident say "excuse me." We looked around and no-one was there. I checked on the resident in question and she was fast asleep in her own room. Many of us also experienced someone whistling in the ward late at night and one nurse even managed to catch a video of it happening. It was unnerving to say the least."
Clueless
Skeleton GIFGiphy"I once saw someone short walk by me in my house. They walked into the laundry room which only has one way in. I walked into it behind them and they where gone. I thought it was my little brother but I went to his room and he was asleep. I still have no clue what that was."

Now was everyone here positive they were sober? Just asking. Those are certainly spooky moments. I'd like some video footage please. Continue...
Reflections
ghost library GIFGiphy"I was up at 3am when I was maybe 7 or 8. I looked out the window and saw a woman in a white dress run across my yard. I could see through her. She was transparent like the reflections on the window."
"you alright?"
"So, my work place is haunted. I was having a really crap day, and as a cleaner, it's normal that me and my co worker will be the only ones left at night. So I was standing on the second floor, leaning on the banister for the stair case, when I heard this male voice say in my ear "you alright?" Clear as day. I turned around so fast and nobody was there and it scared the hell out of me."

Watching Me
"I remember as a young kid I usually use to sit in my bed and watch tv with my room door open while the adjacent guest bedroom next to mine would always have the door shut. I always remember seeing that door fully open and close by itself multiple times a day very slowly and gently. Never really bothered me much now that I think about it… but there were other creepier experiences I had in the same house that made me feel uncomfortable like I was being watched."
Betsy
"I went to the Betsy Ross House as a really little kid in the early 90s. Normal house but I was confused why the tour guide never talked about the woman on the chair crying at the edge of the bed in Betsy Ross's bedroom. So I asked about it. No one else saw the woman at the edge of the bed. I figured it was just a wax museum since there was a wax statue of a man in uniform rolling bullets in the basement."
"Years later, I was looking at haunted Philadelphia tours to go on with a friend and the Betsy Ross House was on it. I was like "woah! I was there!" and looked into it some more. Turns out there is a woman at the end of the bed crying and a uniformed man in the basement that people have reported seeing. There is no way that 8 year old me would have known about either of these things."
hello kitty...
hello kitty lol GIF by Animation Domination High-DefGiphy"I had this hello kitty Balloon In my bed room, it had a string and weight on it. So it was late, I had the lights on just Sitting on my bed. The Balloon turns, faces my door, slowly floats into my hallway and turns and floats into my sister's room. To this day I am scared of balloons."
They are among us and they like Hello Kitty. I'm probably rattling the paranormal cages and they'll come for me next, but I'm ready. I feel like this thread has prepared me.
Boo!
