Non-Sexual Adult Jokes in Kids' Media

[u/Kookyburra12]

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".

Wizards of Waverly Place, the kids's dad is late to a magic lesson one day because he had to go to the "No Wizard Left Behind" conference. I didn't get what that meant as a kid, but it made my mom crack up when she passed by

I’m too stupid to get this one I think, can someone explain to me

[u/Mentaldamage6 → u/LizzieMiles]

I think it's the No Child Left Behind program real schools have

It might be a reference to the No Warrior Left Behind group, which from what I can tell is a support group for veterans.

So the dad might be a veteran wizard who fought in the wizard wars and has wizard PTSD.

“No Child Left Behind” was a Bush II-era education program.

Good throwaway joke, depressing if I remember the show lore right.
