Homer, eating his way into the gingerbread house: Mmmmmm…sugar walls.
In the pilot, Tim gets upset that Jill used one of his tools. He picks up a wrench and says “Put your hand on the tool.”
Jill (laughing): You mean the wrench?
I saw that one recently, and it never occurred to me she meant penis. I thought she meant, “You’re such a tool, Tim!” Y’know, like my grandmother would use it as a mild insult.
Another one on the Simpsons was when Ned Flanders, playing the King of Troy, sees the Trojan Horse and says “Now throughout history when people get wood, they’ll think of Trojans!”
What about When Liz Lemon on 30 Rock was throwing a party? Someone said (referring to an older character named Dick who was expected) “It wouldn’t be a Lemon party without old Dick!”
I kinda lost interest in 30 Rock over the last three seasons but that’s hilarious.
I don’t know how else one can explain the Animaniacs one, but the Flinstones one supposedly can be explained that it’s “cartoonists talk” for the fact that Barney is only
“two heads tall”.
Well, sure! “Cartoonists’ talk” aka “What we tell the censors”.
Yeah, when I go back over the cartoons I used to watch a youth, I notice a lot more adult humor going on that I was aware of as a kid.
50s TV was not so clean. I saw a show where the wife actually said to her Husband, “Ward, you were a little hard on the Beaver yesterday.”
See post #38.
You don’t think “Chuck’s Fuck and Suck” isn’t a dirty joke? 
I forgot about the “sugar walls” joke.
All this but showing a boob on TV will corrupt children. :rolleyes:
When the boob is Glenn Beck, they might have a point.
I don’t mind slipping dirty jokes in as double entendres and such. That’s clever and amusing and cool… but when your joke is basically “I have anal sex on the third date, ISN’T THAT HILARIOUS?” that crosses a line. The sin is that it just isn’t funny, it’s shocking, but not well written or funny.
I think the joke is, “OMG! Pretty girl has dirty mouth!”
Which is a whole 'nother :rolleyes:

I think that the dirtiest joke I ever heard on 2.5 Men was when Berta said that Charlie breaks up with his girlfriends before their hoohas develop 5 o’clock shadow.
That’s way cleaner and more clever than the anal joke. Funnier, too.
I like the philosophy of the Renaissance Fairs we’ve gone to – “If your children get our jokes, it’s not our fault.” (“I blame the Internet.”)
The point was that the double entendre was so couched as to be ambiguous enough so the unwary would not catch it.
TV, however, often caters to the unsophisticated. It’s as subtle as a sledgehammer. It’s gettuing better, overall, but in risque humor it’s utterly blatant, and hasn’t even the sophistication of 1950s pulp magazines.
Actually, I think it was the first date. Now, that’s funny!
Or the time Homer was listing all the wonders mankind had come up with and closed with “THE GLORY HOLE!” :eek:
That’s hard for me to believe. . . . but, then, I DO have a filthy mind.
He closes with “the glory hole and the pudding cup.”
