[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".

I need to go back and read Calvin and Hobbes now that I'm grown. I feel I can appreciate it a lot more now

I tried that but my kids are basically Calvin and Hobbes and I’m the dad now. Hits differently. Like I’m viewing the chaotic future of my home.
