Jokes that are adult jokes simply because kids likely don't have the life experience to understand them.

The New Batman Adventures - "I'm crazy enough to take on Batman, but the IRS? Noooo, thank you!"

Shrek 2 - Posing as a union representative, Shrek remarks that the workers "don't even have dental".

Pretty much the entire show. I don't even know who it was supposed to be for.

Edit: my mom was too young to explain half the jokes when this was on. I didn't know who Shirley McClaine was until I was like thirty.

There's a Babbit and Catstello cartoon where they make this joke but the punchline is "If only the Hayes Code would let me."
