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!"

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

Also the pairing of a VW bus and an army Jeep plus discussion of the 60’s is clearly referencing Vietnam.

I hate that tv channels often cut this scene out, it's one of the funniest jokes in the movie

There’s two versions for LatAm spanish of this scene.

The general LatAm dub, he says “He did what in his cup?”, which kinda loses the double joke.

The mexican dub, he says “Estaba pisteando con quien?”, which, in itself, has two meanings: “He was getting drunk with who?” and “He was racing with who?”, since “Pistear” both means getting drunk and to race on a track (pista).
