** In the special, "Acorn Nuts and Diapey Butts", Betty tries to set up Chaz with another one of her single friends and mentions that one of her qualities is that she had earned the nickname "The Spanker", all while suggestive music plays in the background.

There are certain expectations and rules, both [[MediaWatchdog written]] and [[MoralGuardians unwritten]], about what's acceptable in works aimed at children. Some works aim to push these boundaries, often as a way to gain notoriety or attract a PeripheryDemographic. While what exactly counts as inappropriate can vary within different cultures, there are a few things that almost always count as Demographically-Inappropriate Humor:
* '''Sexual References''': Usually disguised.

!!Examples:
[[AC:Literature]]
* Exaggerated for the book ''Stuck in Poo, What to Do?''. It's aimed at kids who are only learning to read, yet it manages to end in a SubvertedRhymeEveryOccasion for "shit".
-->''The moral of this story is "Don't be a twit". Listen to directions, or you'll end up in the... poo.''
* ''Literature/GangstaGranny'' is a kids' novel, yet it manages to get away with Ben's mother mistakenly thinking he's reading a "naughty magazine".
[[AC: Puppet Shows]]
* ''Series/TheNoddyShop'' is a show aimed at preschoolers that had a [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w4ZYGCsgKrQ promotional music video]] produced for an investor in the show called "Special".

[[AC:Video Games]]
* ''VideoGame/MoshiMonsters'' is a kids' game, yet one mission is called "Kick Some Asteroid", which is a rather risque pun.
[[AC:Western Animation]]
* ''WesternAnimation/{{Animaniacs}}'' made a fine art out of this, frequently {{lampshade| hanging}}d with "Goodnight, everybody!"
** [[DontComeAKnockin The bouncing car up-and-down, up-and-down, up-and-down, up-and-down]] at the DriveInTheater in "Drive-Insane". There was even a woman with a child who had to drag him away so he wouldn't ask questions about what was (allegedly) going on inside the car.
** In the episode where the Warner siblings are being educated, the teacher asks Yakko if he can conjugate. He clearly has a very adult misinterpretation of what that word means[[note]]It actually means to list all the variations on a verb.[[/note]] because he replies, "I've never even ''kissed'' a girl!".
** In the "Monkey Song", when Hello Nurse says, "I don't know what to say-- the monkeys won't do!", Yakko replies, "For a nickel I'll give you a clue", which is a reference to prostitution.
* In an episode of ''Westernanimation/{{The Mask}}'', a beautiful woman rips off her trenchcoat to reveal... that she's wearing a bikini made of bombs and will blow them up if her demands aren't met.

* ''WesternAnimation/TheLoudHouse'':
** In the episode "11 Louds a Leapin'", Luna sings about a Christmas list, then says, "If I don't get my prezzies, I'm gonna get...", but then [[CurseCutShort Mr. Grouse interrupts]].
** In "Cheater by the Dozen", Bobby drops his pants after the woman he's MistakenForCheating with mentions "getting started". Lincoln and Clyde clearly think the woman and Bobby are having sex, but she's just measuring him for a new pair of pants. Also, at one point, everyone thinks Bobby is cheating on Lori ''with a [[BestialityIsDepraved dog]]''.
** In "Two Boys and a Baby", there is a VisualPun of Lily's [[{{Literal Metaphor}} shit-filled diaper literally hitting an actual fan]].
* ''Westernanimation/{{Phineas and Ferb}}'':
** The song "Shooting Star Milkshake Bar" ends with a repeating verse of "Shake, shake, shake, shake your asteroids", a pun on "shake your ass".
** "Lost in Danville" has a subplot where Peter the Panda's nemesis, Professor Mystery, captures Dr. Doofenshmirtz out of jealousy that Doof had been fighting Peter - a situation that, in an earlier episode as well as this one, [[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything is set up as a parallel to infidelity]].

Of course, what counts as "chaste" is culturally variable; references to gay people might be considered Demographically Inappropriate Humor in some contexts, and some cultures forbid kissing to be shown.
'''Swearing''' is a tricky one. Mild swears like "damn" and "crap" are allowed in PG-rated media, and the SwearWordPlot is a staple of kids media. But it's still possible for children's works to push the boundaries of what's accepted.
Subtrope of ParentalBonus. May involve GettingCrapPastTheRadar, but not necessarily - some [[SurprisinglyLenientCensor censors can be lenient]], and some mediums don't have a Radar.

!!Examples:
[[AC:Literature]]
* Exaggerated for the book ''Stuck in Poo, What to Do?''. It's aimed at kids who are only learning to read, yet it manages to end in a SubvertedRhymeEveryOccasion for "shit".
-->''The moral of this story is "Don't be a twit". Listen to directions, or you'll end up in the... poo.''
* ''Literature/GangstaGranny'' is a kids' novel, yet it manages to get away with Ben's mother mistakenly thinking he's reading a "naughty magazine".
[[AC: Puppet Shows]]
* ''Series/TheNoddyShop'' is a show aimed at preschoolers that had a [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w4ZYGCsgKrQ promotional music video]] produced for an investor in the show called "Special". In it, [[LoungeLizard Johnny Crawfish]] sings about IntercourseWithYou and also sings the line "You don't give me heaven and I'll give you hell!". However, it's downplayed in the fact that it never appears in the actual show.
[[AC:Video Games]]
* ''VideoGame/MoshiMonsters'' is a kids' game, yet one mission is called "Kick Some Asteroid", which is a rather risque pun.
[[AC:Western Animation]]
* ''WesternAnimation/{{Animaniacs}}'' made a fine art out of this, frequently {{lampshade| hanging}}d with "Goodnight, everybody!"
** [[DontComeAKnockin The bouncing car up-and-down, up-and-down, up-and-down, up-and-down]] at the DriveInTheater in "Drive-Insane". There was even a woman with a child who had to drag him away so he wouldn't ask questions about what was (allegedly) going on inside the car.
** In the episode where the Warner siblings are being educated, the teacher asks Yakko if he can conjugate. He clearly has a very adult misinterpretation of what that word means[[note]]It actually means to list all the variations on a verb.[[/note]] because he replies, "I've never even ''kissed'' a girl!".
** In the "Monkey Song", when Hello Nurse says, "I don't know what to say-- the monkeys won't do!", Yakko replies, "For a nickel I'll give you a clue", which is a reference to prostitution.
* In an episode of ''Westernanimation/{{The Mask}}'', a beautiful woman rips off her trenchcoat to reveal... that she's wearing a bikini made of bombs and will blow them up if her demands aren't met. The Mask rips the explosives away and disposes of them, leaving the woman naked, which causes Doyle and Kellaway to {{faint|ing}}.
* In ''Westernanimation/{{The Powerpuff Girls}}'' episode "Super Friends", when the girls explain that Professor Utonium made them in a lab accident, Robin [[FromTheMouthsOfBabes casually says]] that she was an [[AMistakeIsBorn accident]], too. The professor can't quite believe what she just said.
* ''WesternAnimation/TheLoudHouse'':
** In the episode "11 Louds a Leapin'", Luna sings about a Christmas list, then says, "If I don't get my prezzies, I'm gonna get...", but then [[CurseCutShort Mr. Grouse interrupts]].
** In "Cheater by the Dozen", Bobby drops his pants after the woman he's MistakenForCheating with mentions "getting started". Lincoln and Clyde clearly think the woman and Bobby are having sex, but she's just measuring him for a new pair of pants. Also, at one point, everyone thinks Bobby is cheating on Lori ''with a [[BestialityIsDepraved dog]]''.
** In "Two Boys and a Baby", there is a VisualPun of Lily's [[{{Literal Metaphor}} shit-filled diaper literally hitting an actual fan]].
* ''Westernanimation/{{Phineas and Ferb}}'':
** The song "Shooting Star Milkshake Bar" ends with a repeating verse of "Shake, shake, shake, shake your asteroids", a pun on "shake your ass".
** "Lost in Danville" has a subplot where Peter the Panda's nemesis, Professor Mystery, captures Dr. Doofenshmirtz out of jealousy that Doof had been fighting Peter - a situation that, in an earlier episode as well as this one, [[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything is set up as a parallel to infidelity]]. Doofenshmirtz offends Professor Mystery when he brushes off his fight with Peter as a "thwarty call" - a pun on "booty call," slang for casual sex.
