Top 20 Shocking Innuendos in Kids Movies
#20: 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!
#19: 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 for the odd slip of the tongue!
#18: Bo Peep and Woody’s Escapades
Another Top 10 Innuendos in Kids Movies
“Toy Story” (1995) This Pixar classic reinforced what most kids might have already suspected: that our toys were alive. What we didn’t realize was what they were really trying to do with their free time. In “Toy Story,” Bo Peep and Woody, a porcelain figurine and a cowboy doll, are in a relationship. After Woody “saves” her flock of sheep from the pretend harms of Mr. Potato Head, Peep uses her cane to draw Woody close and whisper something in his ear. Who knows what goes down when two toys are unchaperoned and unwatched, but the grown moviegoers have some idea and it’s not all kid’s stuff.
#17: Patrick Ewing’s Psychiatrist
Top 10 Neil Patrick Harris Moments
“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!
#16: Ladybug
“A Bug’s Life” (1998) Who knew bugs were so horny? Another Pixar gem, this computer animated film centers on an ant colony that is essentially bullied into providing food for grasshoppers every year. They recruit a team of “warrior” bugs to protect them after their latest food offering winds up destroyed, but these “warrior” bugs are actually a traveling circus act. This includes Francis, the gruff, but visually appealing male ladybug that everyone thinks is a female, and as such, is constantly being hit on, usually in some really crude ways. Most notable is this request to “pollinate,” which is far from subtle.
#15: 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, it remains a very memorable nod toward non-heterosexualism kids’ movie history. In terms of animated film, Gobber’s a gay icon!
#14: Air Conditioner with Attitude
Top 10 Innuendos in Kids' Movies
“The Brave Little Toaster” (1987) As far as children’s films go, this one was surprisingly a little on the darker side. Especially considering the franchise is populated by household appliances and...uh...this. The story follows a group of appliances, led by a toaster, who head out into the world in search of their beloved owner. But before they leave, they trade some rather icy words with an air conditioning unit doing a Jack Nicholson impersonation. While the unit attempts to shame and humiliate the crew for its mission, it throws a particularly inappropriate barb at the vacuum. Because we all know what vacuums do really well.
#13: The Shrinky Winky
Top 10 Terrifying Deaths in Live-Action Kids Movies
“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’s crony Horace – gets a little creative when describing how the sight of dead creatures makes him feel. There’s no two ways about it; taxidermy is a total turn off!
#12: Genie & the Earthquake
Top 10 Genie Moments in Aladdin
“Aladdin and the King of Thieves” (1996) When you’ve been cooped up in a bottle for a few thousand years, chances are your mind can get stuck on some dirty things. Unlike the first “Aladdin” sequel, this second follow up to the 1992 smash hit did feature the genius comedic stylings of Robin Williams, and it also gave us quite a few interesting lines. During one scene in particular, bandits show up at Jasmine and Aladdin’s wedding, and the vibrations from the rampaging elephants causes Genie to make a not-so-subtle reference to wedding-night consummation. Because what kid doesn’t know what goes down in the honeymoon suite?
#11: The Dirty Driver
Top 10 Vigilante Justice Movies
“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?!
#10: Anna & Foot Size
TOP 10 FILMS qui ont TRAUMATISÉ les ENFANTS des ANNÉES 80 !
“Frozen” (2013) The sisterly bond may have provided the happily-ever-after in this Disney hit, but that doesn’t mean there weren’t [any] man-related adventures along the way. Princess Elsa has magical ice powers and has unleashed an eternal winter on the kingdom of Arendelle. Her sister, Anna, sets out after her to help make things right, but not before making the acquaintance of a young gentleman. On their journey to locate Elsa, Anna informs Kristoff that their argument was prompted by her impromptu engagement to a man she’d met the same day. Kristoff chastises Anna, stating that she doesn’t know anything about him, including his shoe size. Which doesn’t matter…until it does.
#9: Robot Baby Jokes
Top 10 Robot Suits in Movies
“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!
#8: Cat and the Hoe
Top 10 Shocking Teen Movie Moments
“The Cat in the Hat” (2003) Mike Myers give an almost unrecognizable performance as the famed Dr. Seuss character. In the fantasy comedy, he plays the feline with the red and white hat and a penchant for mischief who appears to show two little kids how to have a good time. Hijinks ensue, like Thing 1 and Thing 2, and a good chunk of the film is just family fun. But it wouldn’t be a children’s movie without a wink at the “adults”, and here, we’re treated to a moment between The Cat and a garden tool. One that is both tender and a little awkward.
#7: Lord Farquaad Gets Excited
Top 10 Biggest Differences Between The Lord Of The Rings Movies And Books
“Shrek” (2001) Sometimes the best innuendos are also the least noticeable! That’s certainly the case with our “Shrek”s Lord Farquaad, who 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. Except his ego of course.
#6: Mrs. Potato Head’s Mouth
10 Hidden Jokes in Kids Movies That Will Ruin Your Childhood
“Toy Story 3” (2010) Disney and Pixar writers are good for including a number of adult references so the bigger kids can relate. Some are innocent, and others…well, they’re a little tongue-in-cheek, so to speak. This third installment in the “Toy Story” trilogy follows Woody and his toy friends after they end up at a daycare center. The leader of the center’s toys, Lotso, has proven himself to be on the evil side and is about to imprison the new toys when Mrs. Potato Head starts giving him an earful. He responds by yanking off her detachable lips, prompting her husband to proclaim ownership of her mouth.
#5: 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!
#4: Snow White’s Body Count
Top 10 Snow Movies
“Shrek” (2001) This DreamWorks hit, starring Mike Myers as the title character, tells the story of an ogre who saves a princess and then falls in love with her. That course of events actually ends up thwarting the plans of the diminutive Lord Farquaad, who has his own designs on the princess. In fact, he was actually looking for any princess really, since his plan involves utilizing her nobility to become a king. And prior to settling on Princess Fiona, he consulted the Magic Mirror about Snow White, with her living situation, and perhaps, sexual proclivities, coming curiously into question.
#3: Linguini’s ‘Tiny’ Trouble
“Ratatouille” (2007) Blink and you might miss this tiny joke about a tiny... Something else.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!
#2: Tirade of Euphemisms
“Mrs. Doubtfire” (1993) In this family-friendly comedy, Robin Williams plays Daniel Hillard, an out-of-work voice actor who goes into full costume as a nanny to be closer to his kids. The movie is a vehicle for Williams’ comedic genius, with plenty of slapstick, but also tons of snappy dialogue that might’ve flown past the radar of younger viewers. In one particular scene, Daniel-slash-Mrs. Doubtfire confronts his wife’s new beau, Stu, and launches into spiel of sex synonyms. That, and the part about her bedroom activities, are decidedly not G-rated.
#1: Picky Eater
“Ratatouille” (2007) This rodent-based Pixar film tells the tale of a rat who loves cooking. He loves it so much that he teams up with a human and uses the bigger mammal’s body to create mind-blowing, one-of-a-kind recipes. The partnership works out so well that their food attracts the attention of a notorious food critic with exceedingly high standards. Anton Ego’s standards are so high, in fact, that he doesn’t even like to keep “the food” in his mouth if he’s not satisfied. All of this sounds innocent enough. Maybe. But we know what you’re thinking. And so did the writers.
