25 Jokes From Kids' Movies And Shows That Flew Way Over Your Heads The First Time You Watched Them
It's definitely a delight hearing all these as an adult!
Watching movies made for kids as an adult will almost always lead you to realize that they were actually made for grown-ups. Back when we were young and naive, we enjoyed shows and animated movies for their colors, songs, cartoonish movements, and the overall laughs they provided. However, as adults watching them again, you truly realize how sneaky the animators and writers were for embedding a lot of innuendos throughout the shows that would have been otherwise inappropriate if kids actually understood them.
The core studios—Cartoon Network, Disney, Pixar, and Nickelodeon—were particularly notorious for this, but it's actually kind of hilarious because they are often marketed as having the most kid-friendly shows out there. It's a delight to witness parents' reactions whenever they watch a cartoon with their kids. Some parents may find it quite annoying, but the majority actually appreciate how the writers and animators have made these shows entertaining for adults as well.
Given that, they have never shied away from burying a lot of rather suggestive hints, subtle one-liners, and other inappropriate jokes perfectly blended into the script as if they were just some sort of punchline for the kids. They're very subtle yet loud about it—just enough to pass over children's heads and go straight to their parents' ears.
Remember Johnny Bravo? A lot of kids loved him for his comical (well) personality, but watching him as an adult would truly make your eyebrows raise and your mouth hold back laughter!
Not only that, but other popular shows like SpongeBob and Dexter's Lab also had a lot of *hidden* gems in them, so make sure to be on standby the next time your kid watches these shows anytime soon!
Just take a look at the following list of jokes you may have missed as a kid, and see how clever they were in incorporating these!
1. Don't touch yourself... Okay then!
2. This took us a few seconds—but that's actually a good one!
