When we were kids, we never thought about such things as innuendos. Who could even pronounce that word, right? Innuendos in cartoons? Crazy to even think about it. However, now we’ve grown up, we can see so many of them in our childhood favorites.
Crazy Moments From Your Childhood Cartoons That You Should Censor For Your Kids
#1 Yosemite Deals With a Lusty Prisoner on Looney Tunes
Episode: "Carrotblanca" (1995)
Prison sex innuendos and jokes are fairly common in cartoons. but this one gets on the list for being an OG. Towards the end of "Carrotblanca," Bugs Bunny manages to trick General Pandemonium (played by Yosemite Sam) into putting himself in jail. As Bugs heads out, Yosemite takes a look around his jail cell and sees a cellmate batting his eyelashes at him with a lustful look. Sure, what happens between the two is left to the imagination, but there's something we're much more curious about: where did the cellmate gets those slippers?
#2 Smurfette Propositions Bigmouth on The Smurfs
Episode: "Supersmurf" (Season 1,Episode 12)
Although Smurfette could practically control the entire Smurf village if she wanted to (she was made by Gargamel to destroy the village after all), not everyone can be manipulated by her allure. Case in point: In "Supersmurf," Smurfette attempts to reclaim a bunch of food stolen from the Smurf village by an ogre named Bigmouth. He calls Smurfette a Smurf which leads to this response: "Oh, you silly ogre. I'm not a Smurf ,I'm a Smurfette. Wanna see?" The ogre ponders the question for a moment before saying no, but what if he had said yes? The possibilities are gross.
#3 Mandy's Masturbation Joke on The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy
Episode: "Billy and Mandy vs. the Martians" (Season 6,Episode 8)
If anything came close to being the Cartoon Network equivalent to Nickelodeon's Invader Zim, it was this show. In this episode, there's a brief moment where Irwin, the poor kid who seems to always get caught in between Billy and Mandy's shenanigans, attempts to save the latter from falling from a platform. Irwin tells Mandy to grab his hand and she says, "Ew, no way. I know where that hand has been!"
Knowing that Irwin has a crush on Mandy, one could interpret this exchange as a masturbation reference. Let's be honest: Irwin can barely contain himself when it comes to Mandy, flirting with her every chance he gets. Poor Irwin. Not only is his mom a mummy (look it up, it's true), but he can't even get the girl he probably thinks of during his "personal special time."
#4 The Girls Were Mistakenly Conceived on The Powerpuff Girls
Episode: "Super Friends" (Season 4,Episode 4)
Considering Craig McCracken also wrote some episodes for Dexter's Laboratory, it makes sense that McCracken, the creator of The Powerpuff Girls, put some sexual allusions in this show. One that immediately comes to mind is in "Super Friends," where the Powerpuff Girls bring a friend to their home. The sisters introduce their friend to the professor, and proceed to tell her how an "accident" made by the professor resulted in their being. The professor laughs it off but then becomes quiet when the friend says, "Don't worry, professor. I was a mistake, too." It's the look on the professor's face that twists the line. But on another note, it's such a bummer that this girl has been called a mistake. Not cool, anonymous, fictional parents. Not cool.
#5 Daffy Duck and Bugs Bunny enjoy reading an adult magazine
Yes, you see it right. They are reading a Playduck magazine! Don’t you just wonder what the cartoonists were trying to say?
#6 SpongeBob’s innuendos
SpongeBob SquarePants can totally win a “Pioneer in inappropriate moments“ award. The number of episodes that you’d have to label as PG is huge! In ”The Play’s the Thing," he apparently is blowing a bunch of balloons to shape them as Squidward.
#7 Donald Duck’s sleeping moment
Will you be able to watch Donald Duck with your kids now and NOT notice this "Wide Open Spaces" episode from 1947?
#8 Rugrats’ Grandpa Lou and his favorite video
Grandpa Lou, why, oh why did you have to make this comment???
#9 Jake Bites Lady Rainicorn on Adventure Time
"From Bad To Worse" (Season 3,Episode 13)
One of Adventure Time's more mild moments, "From Bad To Worse" features an exchange between Jake the Dog and his wife, Lady Rainicorn, where Jake apologizes for biting her. Her response? "I wanted you to bite me." Jake begins to blush and laugh nervously and can only utter an "Oh," before going silent. Lady Rainicorn may very well have a wild side, which would make sense considering her and Jake have five children together.
