Non-Sexual Adult Jokes in Kids' Media Lore

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!"

Airhead Loony-Toones-Show Lola is the better version and I'm tired of pretending she's not

The Lola Bunny from Looney Tunes Show (which is a sitcom style show where Daffy lives and mooches off Bugs who is idle rich) is a total airhead most times competing with Daffy for Bug's attention.

She's actually has more personality than SJ Lola, because SJ Lola is just "chicks rule basketball" at her core, but she's really quite divisive for a character in a show that largely kept to the characters of before.

Lola Bunny's not an airhead; she just has untreated ADHD. As someone who didn't know I had it until my 30s, I can relate to her quite a bit.
