In one episode of Bob the Builder, Bob was trying to hang wallpaper, and managed to trip and fall onto the pasted paper, sticking himself to it from eyebrows to toes. As he blunders around stuck to the paper, I’m not saying Neil Morrissey is actually enunciating a muffled “Oh, fuckin’ 'ell!” - twice - but I’m sure not saying he isn’t, either.
Doesn’t count because it was just an in-joke among the crew not intended for broadcast to the feeble innocent, but… Rainbow Does Dallas
“He’s a duck, and doesn’t need to wear pants.” Nick Russo to son Joey (Blossom).
It’s not quite a ‘get it past the censors’ thing, although it is a ‘get it past the kids’ thing…
Disney had a cartoon tv show Hercules based on the Disney movie. In one episode, the employees in Hades (hell) revealed that they referred to themselves as “cast members.”
I thought that was the funniest thing ever.
Then why does he wrap a towel around his waist when he gets out of the bath?
Not quite what the OP is talking about, but I always notice when otherwise inappropriate songs are used in kids/family films, like the chicken version of “Fuck You” in The Muppets and the trailers for Planes: Fire and Rescue prominently using “Thunderstruck,” which is, at least partially, about the band hanging out with a bunch of strippers (or possibly prostitutes).
Or the use of “Shut Up and Drive” in Wreck It Ralph.
Heh, that’s a good one - it got past me until someone explained it, as I was not familiar with the song.
Or it may have nothing at all to do with the song, as that’s not a rare phrase before the song- which I don;t remember hearing, even.
The LINE wasn’t used in the movie, the SONG was. Over Vanellope’s learning to drive montage.
The song is good for the scene. But if you listen to the lyrics it’s just a bunch of driving/sex innuendos. I noted this because I saw it listed on an album of kids music from disney movies.
Because he has a hard on.
“Yeah yeah they, they, they blew our minds
And I was shaking at the knees
Could I come again please”
Very possibly.
As others have noted, it’s not the “phrase”, but the “song” that is in issue – in its original form, the song isn’t about driving (a car), but about having sex.
I, too, had not heard the song before; it fit the scene well, but it had an added element of under-the-radar humour for those who knew what the song was about!
It’s not really getting “crap past the radar” since it’s right there, but…
Watched Titan A.E. again last night. One of the characters straight-up murders another right on screen by snapping his neck (he’s an alien but I don’t think that should matter). There’s no cut-away or anything. Does it with his own hands. There’s a brief struggle and everything. I looked up the rating and was surprised to find a PG. The movie was obviously meant for the I’m-too-cool-for-you 12-15 age set so I’m surprised they didn’t push for a PG-13 rating to make it more edgy (and of course, for the whole, y’know, snapping a neck thing, the brief nudity, the brief blood, so on…).
I have always been kind of shocked by John Clayton hanging himself (by accident) in Disney’s Tarzan but at least they don’t show that right on screen so I can still sort of believe the rating as compared to the example above. And of course, the hero himself doesn’t do it with his own hands. Though, I may have given it a PG for that, the guns, and the fight with the leopard.
The song is all double entendre. It may be about sex, but it’s all wrapped in perfectly clean language about driving.
Absolutely. That is why it goes so perfectly ‘under the radar’ - it (a) has perfectly clean lyrics about driving, and (b) fits the scene in the movie very well.
Unless you happened to already know the song was about sex from outside the movie context, you would never guess that there was any double-entendre involved from simply watching the movie itself.
