Ever notice that Donald Duck never wears pants, but when he comes out of the showe, he's wearing a towel?
P.S.  |

I'm pretty sure I remember gonorrhea being one of the STDs used for Cow's dolls. I can't seem to remember any other ones. Oh, and 100 posts per page for the win. |

Either way... it really is funny what cartoonists will slip in there. Even if the joke isnt funny, the fact that it is there for only certain people to understand is.  |

"Can you excuse my assignment since the government stole it for their own gain?"
-Recess "And that's how the government fatcats capitalize on Korean sweatshop workers." -Also Recess That show pokes at the government quite a bit. Aslo, for comics, Doonesberry does a lot of political humor. What are the STD names for Cows dolls? P.S. why do I always start a second page!?  |

Originally posted by Shyguy Well it had to happen eventualy, you WIN. That was probably the only joke I ever got out of that show back when I was a kid also, like others have said, Rocko and Animaniacs were full of those references children just wouldn't get. I remember a Pinky and the Brain parody of Whinny the Pooh, where Eeyore was "Algore", the...former vice president and everytime he talked about inflation, he'd start to expand and float away from being filled with "hot air"
...yeah, it was alot funnier at the time. |

 That's what I always heard. I knew she had a cameo in Popeye, and I was pretty sure that was her first major appearance. Guess I'm wrong. |

Originally posted by Jin Dogan Oh man, Dogan... I remember Animaniacs! There was an entire line of Cartoon Network commercials for their syndicated run of Animaniacs, where they featured the 18 dollar CN hat, as well as an explanation why involving the Animaniacs... Anyone remember "Legal Fees"? It's certainly a very good reason why the hat was |

Calvin and Hobbes is truly an all-ages comic. When I was little, I laughed my head off at Calvin's facial expressions, descriptions for food, and awesomely over-the-top daydreams. As I grew up, I still found all of the slapsticky, silly, and kid-accessible stuff to be very funny, but there was much more to the comic than that, so it still held my interest. I don't have any of the books handy, so I can't give examples, but I do remember seeing content that no longer went over my head. And it wasn't sexual content or anything like that, just concepts that are difficult for most kids to understand.
Oh, and Hiryuu, I also had a large vocabulary and consulted the dictionary on a regular basis. I still do that today. Words are fun.  |

Animaniacs had the largest amount of pop culture icon related jokes that most kids simply wouldn't get.(except my siblings and I) Especially ones like:
"Fuzzy Wuzzy was a bear, Fuzzy Wuzzy had no hair. So he changed his name to Ed Asner." |

Even if you watch Betty Boop.. she was a "dancer". Come on. She was originally created to be Popeye's Prostitute. For serious.
The Fairly Oddparents has some things that kids wouldn't catch onto.. I think it's a brilliantly written show. I love it. I used to watch SouthPark like.. starting from when I was in 3rd, 4thish grade.. Don't quite remember and there was this episode where Stan's teacher was a lesbian. Cartman's mom told him that if he wanted to get with a lesbian he had to "munch carpet". And I DEFINATLY didn't get it then.. but I laughed because I thought it was absurd. Going back and watching that episode... 
Then again, SouthPark isn't intended for children. |

Heh, I might not have gotten that many jokes when I watched this but I thought that it was a fun show overall. But I didn´t care much what certain words meant that I didn´t know of. "For example, in Cow and Chicken, all of Cow's dolls are named after STDs." Urp? We´ve had it in swedish over here. I wonder how they translated it.  |

The Satchmo!
The Trumpet Player? I remember that from Rugrats. I don't really remember much else besides the Tropical Plumber jokes from Rocko... |

And then you ended up looking up words that were in the definition that you didn't know and in the end you were totally lost.
Then again, I kinda understood Calvin and Hobbes when I was young. Which is an accomplishment to be honest. I occasionally watch "old" cartoons and see some great hidden references, but not all of them are dirty. Some of them are just topical, or things that children and adults will both laugh at for totally different reasons. |
| Hiryuu Posts: 890/2480 |
You know, wasn't that kinda the point of Calvin and Hobbes in a sense, though?
I mean you don't expect many six-year-olds to read the comic and be able to know what a good portion of the words even stand for...less you were like me and went apeshit looking up words in the dictionary when you didn't know what they meant. ...and then again I was just...odd... |

I always found such things stupid, really I mean what's the point? |

Heh, I remember one from Rocko's Modern Life. There was a removed scene in which Rocko and someone else checked into a motel for an overnight stay, and the clerk said something along the lines of "Man, that's a long time!" |

I really wish they'd release that show on DVD. What a great piece of work that was.
I miss you Rocko. And the dog, who's name I'm forgetting... |

I actually understood everything in the show when I saw it  thats why I would sometimes laugh my ass off when my parents saw it and didn't understand it. But I wish it would come back it was so awesome! Now the only cartoons that I see that have adult humor in it is like Family Guy, but its not really hidden at all. |
