“Tons in Who Framed Roger Rabbit, Eddie (to Dolores): You go downtown to the courthouse and check the probate. Roger: Yeah, check the probate! Why, my Uncle Thumper had a problem with HIS probate, and he had to take these big pills, and drink lots of water! Eddie: Not PROSTATE, you idiot! PROBATE!”8
“In Mrs. Doubtfire, there’s a few of them in this movie, but specifically when Mrs. Doubtfire is trying to intimidate Pierce Brosnan’s character and make him uncomfortable at dinner. Mrs. Doubtfire keeps saying things like how he needs to be up for a bit of the ‘cunning linguistics,’ and how he’ll be up against a bit of competition in the bedroom, as Sally Field’s character has got her own ‘personal jackhammer.’ Definitely all stuff that went WAY over my head as a kid that I then picked up on when re-watching it recently!”10
“In How the Grinch Stole Christmas there is literally a swinger’s party happening where they’re all putting their keys in a bucket. I asked my mom about it when I saw it in fourth grade, and she said ‘Oh, they’re putting their keys away because they’re drinking and shouldn’t drive home!’ That made sense to me until a few years ago.”13
“Wallace and Grommit, when the heroine is walking in her greenhouse. She faces the camera with two giant watermelons between her and the camera at chest level. She seductively caresses them and says something about ‘my melons.’ I almost fell out of my chair laughing while my kid looked at me like WTF? In the row behind me, another dad/son were having the exact same reactions. The other dad and I saw each howling and it caused us to laugh even more. There were other loaded scenes in that movie, as well!”20
“Patrick Ewing is on the couch at a psychiatrist’s office explaining how all his basketball skills are gone and he says something like ‘I can’t perform.’ Then, the psychiatrist asks him if he’s suffering any other…performance issues. Ewing sits up and indignantly says, ‘No!’ and the psychiatrist says, ‘Just asking!’ My sons were like, ‘What’s so funny?’ when I was laughing. They truly were too young to understand.”
