We've all seen those "jokes we didnt get as kids" compilations of sexual innuendos in cartoons, but what are some jokes that WERENT sexual innuendos that you didnt get until you got older. Most of those jokes of people having showdowns to the Good, The Bad, and the Ugly theme (or some knockoff) would likely qualify, as well as Bart and Lisa singing the Shaft song (I had no idea what Shaft even was in 1991, let alone the lyrics to the theme song).

"Ah that'll get your Bull Run." from Homer's Phobia...
Mostly because I knew so little about the civil war at the time.

When I was older but....
Don't get why "Is it a bee?" was so hysterical on Ab Fab.

"Sure, I've had it up to here with these damn rickets!"
I thought rickets were a brand of jeans or a type of jeans that Homer wore. Instead, he meant because of the lack of Vitamin C from the sun, it caused him to get rickets in his legs.

Like Barney, I didn’t understand why everyone started laughing when Homer said “I’d like to thank you on behalf of the group, and I hope we passed the audition.”
Donkey Lips’s comment about “a machine that sells balloons” and why Ug got so nervous when Sponge said that Donkey Lips “gave half a peace sign to that guy on the motorcycle back there” on Salute Your Shorts.
The TMNT Coming Out of Their Shells video had a ton of jokes I didn’t understand until I was older. The one that tipped me off was Shredder saying “my deharmonic convergence controller! I can’t see me loving nobody but you! We’re happy together.” My jaw hit the floor when I realized the significance of what he was saying.

Instead, he meant because of the lack of Vitamin C from the sun, it caused him to get rickets in his legs. It was a pretty terribly-executed joke to be fair, since Homer is showing no signs of rickets before or immediately after. Probably 3/4 or more of the jokes and references on the Adam West Batman. |

 If it weren’t for DVD commentary explaining it, I still wouldn’t get this joke. |

If it weren’t for DVD commentary explaining it, I still wouldn’t get this joke. Similarly, when Bart sells his soul and finds he can't laugh watching Itchy and Scratchy, Lisa tells him that, "Pablo Neruda says laughter is the language of the soul. "I am familiar with the works of Pablo Neruda.", I was used to not getting those sorts of references as a kid, but only when I got older did I understand that Bart is very much not a person who would be read up on a Chilean poet from like the 1970s. |

Yes Simpson’s references.
When I finally watched “One Flew Over A Cuckoo’s Nest”. Finally a bunch of jokes… The Chief at the asylum, Barney smothering Homer in the Hospital and then “escaping” through the window, the Chief again.. this time at the retirement home.. guess he forgot his hat.

When I first saw it, I remember my reaction just being “ok”. Finally when I heard the commentary, I got it. It’s a good joke. But I probably spent ten years or so and saw the episode a hundred times. Never clicked. |

It took years for me to understand the classic Henny Youngman one liner “Take my wife…please”. As a little kid I thought it was funny because it made no sense. As I got a little older I thought the idea of someone giving away their wife was silly. I had to learn the mechanics of a joke to appreciate this properly.
“Take my wife” followed by a pause for the audience to mentally add the words ‘for example’ because they expect him to tell a joke about something funny his wife did. But then the final word “please” turns the joke dark, spinning it from the start of a silly anecdote to “I hate my wife and wish she would go away”. It’s all about the timing.

The exchange about "The Who" in Woodstock Slappy.
I didn't see Who's on First yet.

When the episode first aired, "In the Garden of Eden" by I. Ron Butterfly. My dad got it, but I didn't. He played the original song for me after the episode so I ended up getting it in subsequent airings.

I saw the movie Walk Hard prior to seeing Walk The Line or Ray or whatever else was being parodied in that movie. Don’t get me wrong, great movie, but there was definitely a lot of jokes where I was like “oh, okay, I assume I’m missing something from the source material here.”

Oh yeah... The whole Who's on First joke
It wasn't until I was an adult and read a parody of the bit itself in a Gundam SEED comedy fic that I finally got the joke.

Not a kid (I saw it when I was 15), but A Fistful of Yen in Kentucky Fried Movie was even more funny later in life when I saw Enter the Dragon.
