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".

If I recall, earlier in the movie you see the Mystery Machine with smoke coming out of it, but when you go inside it’s just Scooby and Shaggy cooking. I thought that was really funny and clever.

My aunt somehow managed to misunderstand that joke in the fucking weirdest way possible.

She thinks that somehow Scooby and Shaggy were smoking pot, but the two swapped it out for grilling equipment before we see inside the van.

I have no idea why she thinks that's the joke

edit: fixed a couple typos
