| It just isn't the same to watch those types of shows again at this age. You notice things that you didn't notice before. For example, in Cow and Chicken, all of Cow's dolls are named after STDs. The things they got away with back then are ridiculous. Why can't they make cartoons the way they used to...there are a few of them with that classic charm mentioned in the topic title that are in production today, but they aren't as plentiful as they used to be. | |||

It's true though, the old school cartoons had tons of more adult-tilted humor. I can only remember a few though... It was probably so if adults watched them with their kids, they wouldn't be bored to tears if they didn't turn it off  |

Yeah, I saw plenty of that stuff and watched it disappear quickly too  The only one I can really remember was from a Nicelodeon(I don't care if it's spelled right or not) Rocko's Modern Life had plenty of stuff in it, a popular restaurant named Chokey Chicken  Just about every episode had some adult thigns hidden in it. And it was a cool show too  (edited by Krusty Toenail on 01-14-06 09:03 PM) |

Rocko's Modern Life 
I loved that show, but I do remember being confused a few times over certain things. Other times I caught on that it was.. erm... dirty for someone my age, and simply laughed. Cuz I'm cool. |

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. |

| 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...  |

| 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!" (edited by asdf on 01-14-06 09:52 PM) |

| 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... |

Cynthia Uh-huh. Since: 11-17-05 From: LaSalle, Quebec, Canada Last post: 6295 days Last view: 6295 days |

| 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. |

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

Originally posted by Danielle What joke was that?
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 didnīt care much what certain words meant that I didnīt know of. "For example, in Cow and Chicken, all of Cow's dolls are named after STDs." Urp? Weīve had it in swedish over here. I wonder how they translated it. |

| 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. |

| 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." |

| Calvin and Hobbes is truly an all-ages comic. When I was little, I laughed my head off at Calvin's facial exp 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. |

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 |

| 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 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. |
