#10: Shaggy’s Smoking Habit
“Scooby-Doo” (2002)
Sure, he gets the munchies more than the average man... Sure he satisfies those munchies in often-questionable ways... But has there ever been a more subliminally brilliant reference to Shaggy’s clear marijuana use than this one? Scooby’s second in command scores a chance meeting with an attractive lady on an airplane, but his senses are truly scrambled when he learns her name. ‘Like, his favorite name’ and also street slang for Cannabis, Mary Jane has Shaggy feeling as high as the plane he’s on!
#9: Sugar Honey Iced Tea!
“Madagascar” (2005)
Sometimes in kids’ movies, curse words are inevitable! How best to get around the problem without prompting parental complaints? It’s all in the acronym! “Madagascar” makes fun of a familiar swear word, by translating it into the very family friendly phrase ‘Sugar Honey Iced Tea’! And who can blame Marty? If you’re an animated Zebra faced with an angry animated Lion on a secluded beach, you’re probably excused the odd censorable slip of the tongue!
#8: Patrick Ewing’s Psychiatrist
“Space Jam” (1996)
The stars of the ‘90s NBA have had their world famous skills stolen from them. In an attempt to find out how and why, they head for the psychiatrist’s chair! However, for Patrick Ewing the cross examination questioning goes a little below the belt, quite literally! In among an already humorous montage of medically induced gags set to a very groovy soundtrack, this brush at Ewing’s bedroom prowess is an awesome three-pointer of adult entertainment. A sly slam-dunk for all the moms and dads!
#7: Gobber Is Gay?
“How to Train Your Dragon 2” (2014)
One of the more immediately apparent instances to make today’s countdown, Gobber the Belch’s coming out as gay in “How to Train Your Dragon 2” caught massive attention from critics and commentators upon the movie’s 2014 release. Discussing why he ‘never got married’, Gobber’s apparently ambiguous ‘one other thing’ is an allusion to his homosexuality, and started as an ad-lib made by actor Craig Ferguson. Left in the final edit with support from the film’s openly gay director Dean DeBlois, this is one of the clearest nods toward non-heterosexualism ever made in kids’ movie history. In terms of animated film, Gobber’s a gay icon!
#6: The Shrinky Winky
“101 Dalmatians” (1996)
In among all of the actual spots, did you spot our next eyebrow raiser from “101 Dalmatians”? Male arousal gags might not be the first thing you’d expect when watching the live action version of a Disney classic, but the brains behind this movie managed to slip one into this scene anyway! Better known to some as Arthur Weasley, Mark Williams – this time as Cruella de Vil crony Horace – shows his *ahem* softer side here, by brilliantly outlining his own (dead animal-inspired) erectile dysfunction! There’s no two ways about it; taxidermy is a total turn off!
#5: The Dirty Driver
“Hocus Pocus” (1993)
This bus driver must’ve felt as though all his Christmases (or perhaps Halloweens) had come at once with our next clip, as he picks up three especially captivating customers. When he learns that what the witchy women most desire is ‘children’, our man is mighty quick with a witty reply - for adult ears only! If the kids weren’t spellbound enough by the movie itself, then they will be by the ‘birds and bees’ talk that follows! Double, double toil and trouble(!), so that’s where babies come from?!
#4: Robot Baby Jokes
“Robots” (2005)
From the birds and the bees, to the nuts and the bolts! 2005’s “Robots” brought artificial intelligence to the animated big screen, and instilled within it some awesome innuendo! An original approach to baby making, there’s a *nudge, nudge, wink, wink* to this scene that only those above a certain age will pick up! While the kids are made to think of the building blocks in their toy box, the adults are made to think of...something else entirely! It’s a perfectly cheeky play on words!
#3: Lord Farquaad Gets Excited
“Shrek” (2001)
Sometimes the best innuendos are also the least noticeable! That’s certainly the case with our bronze medal winner, as “Shrek”s Lord Farquaad gets a little carried away when gazing into his magic mirror! Laid out in bed with an image of the princess placed before him, there ain’t no amount of animal-print bed linen that can spare his blushes! No wonder the mirror looks so apprehensive! We might’ve included Donkey seeing Shrek’s birthday suit on this list, but Lord Farquaad at his high and mightiest makes the cut instead! Don’t see what we’re talking about? Well, that’s probably because everything about Farquaad is small…
#2: Patrick Plays Easy to Get
“The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie” (2004)
From the brilliantly ‘missable’ to the blatantly obvious. In “The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie,” our favorite Nickelodeon characters got bigger, better and bolder than ever before - with the last of those adjectives especially applying to Patrick Star! SpongeBob’s eternal wingman, he steps into the limelight to lay down this fantastically forward pick-up line, inscribing himself into innuendo history in doing so! It’s as awesome as it is probably ineffective... Especially because said underwear are three years old, and emblazoned with pictures of Goofy Goober!
Before we unveil our top pick, here are a few honorable mentions:
- Woody’s Laser Envy
“Toy Story” (1995)
- Born Under Venus…
“The Rugrats Movie” (1998)
- Astronomical / Anatomical
“Treasure Planet” (2002)
- Nice Booby Trap!
“Who Framed Roger Rabbit” (1988)
- Telling Male from Female
“The Ant Bully” (2006)
#1: Linguini’s ‘Tiny’ Trouble
“Ratatouille” (2007)
Blink and you might miss our winner, which is ironic in itself. A tiny joke about a tiny... Something else...it’s adults only gold! In this scene, “Ratatouille”s Linguini is a seriously stressed-out chef, and he’s looking to confide in Colette... Attempting to own up to the help he has received in the kitchen, Linguini can only find various descriptive phrases for the ‘smallness’ of his secret... A man already on the edge, the very last thing he needs is some subliminal manhood mockery... But that’s exactly what he gets!
