10 XXX Adult Jokes Hidden In Children’s Movies You Probably Missed

We choose to accept two primary explanations, either alone or combined, when pondering how certain risque references make their way into supposedly sanitized family-friendly entertainment: one, creators are trying to throw parents a bone to forestall the urge to slit their wrists with car keys when kid-oriented fare bores them to tears; two, they’re playing a long game and working in a reference younger viewers will appreciate that much more when they get older and share the experience with their own kids.

Case in point: a number of people around our neck of the Interwebz remember Steven Spielberg’s classic animated television series TINY TOON ADVENTURES. In one episode, Tweety analog Sweetie Bird and her rival prey Bookworm engage in a chase through a library that includes Sweetie getting wanged on the head by a hardcover copy of THE MIKE TYSON STORY.

“Now I know how Robin Givens feels,” Sweetie groggily quips to the camera.

Lesson, kids: domestic violence is hilarious!

There’s a world of delightfully inappropriate references out there that parents laugh at because they absolutely get the joke and can’t help but admire that someone got away with slipping into movies geared toward children. As a bonus, kids laugh along with the adults because – well, the grown-ups are entertained, so it MUST be funny, right?
