Every now and then, they sneak some good adult humor into that show...

Where did you get that?

My favorite is in one of the movies, when the parents feel bad about lying to Timmy, so they pull out home videos. The dad says, "I bet we won't find a single white lie on this entire video!" They turn it on, and immediately it shows them sitting on either side of Timmy, they throw their hands in the air, and say, "The stork!" Dad says, "Well that was fast!"

My favorite adult joke from the show is actually similar to what you described. Timmy's parents have super powers and as such have a lot of free time on their hands after flying through their errands. They spend quality time with Timmy. At the end Timmy's parents walk out the door and say "that's where babies come from!". Timmy looks confused and asks "What's the machine for?", to which they say "you'll find out when you're older".

My favorite isn't all that adult-oriented, but it usually goes over kids' heads. It's from the episode where Timmy goes into the video game. Timmy goes into the underwater version of his aunt Gertrude's house. A crab/lobster version of his aunt then appears and wants to "pinch those chubby cheeks of yours (Timmy's)). Timmy responds with "I hope she means my face!"

I remember being 8 and watching that and not understanding. Then, I saw the episode again a week later and the understanding dawned on me.

I watched FOP most the way through college. I would say it was majority adult humor.

That's why you find time to watch them (or rewatch them) when you're older. Spongebob is by far one of my favorites because of the copious amounts of adult/intelligent humor they stick in.

I never really liked that show until I started catching the adult/dark humor

[–][deleted] 23 points24 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

It had some great adult jokes back in the day, but I'm sure it's run its course by now, having been on for years. Now I hear they're making a live-action movie with Drake Bell as a 20-something Timmy, Jason Alexander as the voice of Cosmo, and Cheryl Hines as Wanda's voice.

I can't believe it either.

Except not as a live-action movie. This is a great plot for a final animated film. Why live-action? WHY?

Wut

capturing Timmy’s fairies and using their power to fuel his maniacal ambition of creating a fairy oil based personal lubricant.

[–]naikrovek 2 points3 points ago

It amazes me that people don't expect to see "grown up" humor in shows that are created by, written by, directed by, animated by, voiced by, edited by, and broadcast by "grown ups."

[–]JonathanHarford 2 points3 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Most media for children is created by "grown ups", and yet does not have "grown up" humor. Thus the lack of expectation.

[–]naikrovek -1 points0 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Look a bit closer. The only cartoons I've seen that aren't loaded with humor that adults will get but that children will not, are those sweatshop disney princess videos and ones like them. the direct to DVD shit. Everything on TV is meant for adults as much as children.

I get even with my child.

When he was 5 I told him that the hospital called, they revoked his birthday.

Yeah, the look on his face was priceless. I told him the truth right away. You can only get away with that once.

Punchline in the title...

[–]dhusk 19 points20 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

That's not really the punchline. The humor comes from Timmy's seeming realization in the last panel about what his father is talking about. It character-driven humor as opposed to gag-driven humor.

And now that I explained it, it won'tr be funny. But still.

[–]Hetzer 2 points3 points ago
