Innocent Innuendo / Western Animation

• As Told by Ginger has an in-universe example. Miranda and Courtney catch an older boy called Jake giving Ginger back her house keys (after hearing that Ginger and her friends had crashed a party he was at). When they ask Jake about Ginger, he refers to her as "clean mouth" and that he bumped into her under the snack table. They naturally assume that Jake and Ginger made out. But the audience knows they only were coincidentally under the table at the same time because Ginger was looking for her dropped keys, and "clean mouth" refers to them both having the same dentist where Ginger's picture was hanging on the wall as 'Clean Mouth of the Month'.
• Avatar: The Last Airbender:
  • In "The Painted Lady", Katara and Aang come back to camp at sunrise. Sokka wasn't happy about their "morning walk." They had been out all night to destroy a factory.
  • In "Nightmares and Daydreams", Zuko is moping at Mai's house about apparently not being invited to a war meeting. His girlfriend puts her hands on his shoulders, smiles mischievously, and whispers, "You know what'll make you feel better?" There is just long enough of a pause before she suggests ordering a tray of fruit tarts to raise eyebrows.
  • "I don't need any protection!" "Hah, believe me, she doesn't." facepalm
  • "The Drill". "Something came up. Something big." "Here it comes!" The...hypnotic thrusting, and splashing of...er..."mud" on the wall as it penetrates.
  • In the comic Rebound, Mai protests when her date expects her to "go down a dark, deserted stairwell with a guy I just met," but it turns out he's only taking her to a secret meeting of La Résistance.
• The Backyardigans:
  • During the episode, "Le Master of Disguise", once Austin gets in the train, Uniqua tells him to show her his "ticket". Once he hears this, he gets an embarrassed look on his face.
  • Also, during "Escape from Fairy Tale Village", Austin asks Uniqua how are her "lollipops" doing. During that episode, she portrayed the witch from "Hansel and Gretel", but he would be possibly referring to the other lollipops...
• Captain Planet: The Planeteers find Wheeler's and Linka's clothes in the woods... right before the viewers see they were just shrunk by Dr. Blight's latest experimental Applied Phlebotinum, and their clothes didn't shrink along with them.
  Ma-Ti: Where would they have gone?
  Kwame: Without their clothes?
• In The Cleveland Show episode "Flush of Genius" Rallo is looking forward to riding a roller coaster and tries to ask Roberta what her first time was like, with all of his questions coming out as sexual innuendos and her reacting in disgust as if he was asking about her first time having sex.
  Roberta: That is my business and I'm not talking to you about it. Get out! (Rallo leaves the room) I'm not gonna tell anybody about my first roller coaster.
• Codename: Kids Next Door, "Operation POINT": The entire episode qualifies, as the KND are convinced that they've stumbled on to a factory that turns teens into adults, while we're convinced that "The Point" is where teens make out, among other things. One individual moment involves the KND opening a teen's car and going "Eww"... and it turns out to be a pile of cold fast food left in the car instead of teens making out. Later on, they're surprised to discover a rollerskating rink where they expected the factory to be.
• There is the hilarious Duckman "titmouse" moment, a brilliant six-line conversation between the titular character and his sidekick in which the usual over-the-top sexual tone of the show is taken down a notch and the two of them discuss if "squeezing the titmouse" is an acceptable activity, before rounding off the conversation with a nice lampshade, asking when the V-chip will be installed and their (somewhat innocuous, given the rest of the show) conversation would be bleeped.
• In the Ed, Edd n Eddy episode 'Little Ed Blue', Eddy and Edd go into Ed's room, where Eddy discovers a magazine called 'Chicks Galore' hidden under Ed's pillow, much to his delight. Despite his initial excitement, the two of them are quite disturbed to discover that it's literally about baby chicks; to which Edd comments, "I didn't even know they HAD magazines like that!"
• Family Guy does seem to be fond of these.
  • One episode during the period Peter worked as a fisherman had him become rivals with another fisherman. The two set up their fish stalls right next to each other and when Peter isn't looking, his rival switches the sign on Peter's stall for one that says "I Had Sex With All These Fish", which Peter doesn't notice, causing him to say a lot of unintentional innuendo when in a conversation with who he assumes is just a regular customer asking how he catches fish.
    Man: [notices sign] Wow. So how do you do it?
    Peter: Oh, you're very nice to ask. Well, first I hang the ol' worm out there, they usually go for it. So I jerk 'em around a little, they fight for a while, and then they just lay back and accept it.
    Man: [gives Peter a card with his phone number] How about we get together later?
    Peter: [confused] Um... okay?
  • Another memorable line is Peter telling Lois "Ok, but remember our agreement, I go to this thing and tonight I get anal. No matter how clean I want the house, you have to clean it!"
  • When Peter says that if Lois wants a job, he has a job for her "right here", while pointing to his crotch area. Then he clarifies that his zipper is broken and he wants her to fix it.
  • Another in an episode in which Chris is caught spying on girls' dressing rooms, and Peter goes to talk to him about it. When he gets to Chris's bedroom door, he hears the unmistakable sound of fapping, and knocks. Chris tells him to go away, but he barges in anyway... and finds Chris playing with a paddle and ball.
    Chris: Aw, I was about to beat my record...
    • But then, Peter gives him some porn magazines as a safer and more legal way to look at naked women. As soon as he leaves the room, the same sound promptly starts up again... except Peter is still holding the paddle, so it can't be that...
  • In a scene where Lois is pounding Peter's face into the carpet he was installing, she yells, "Say you like eating red carpet!"
    Quagmire (falls over): "Giggity."
  • When her family visits Lois in jail for repeated stealing, Lois starts to explain why she suddenly had an urge to steal things. It was like "a hole in her" that she "needed to fill with lots of things" and similar innuendos. Quagmire is in the background getting more and more excited with each innuendo. Then Lois finishes it off by mentioning that she needs to "lie back and let the penal system do its work".
    Quagmire: [deadpan] That one is also sexual.
  • In "Jerome is the New Black" Peter hears Lois telling Jerome it's so hot and moist in a satisfied manner. Peter rushes into the kitchen to find Lois telling Jerome the scones he made are delicious.
• Futurama:
  • Professor Farnsworth calls the crew to his bedroom for a "special presentation" and closes the curtains. The ensuing dialogue ("It's beautiful!" "And so huge!" "Can I touch it?") refers to the atom of jumbonium that the professor had been hiding under his mattress.
  • Additionally, one episode starts up with Fry lying alone, awake, in bed, with a continuous sound of springs going up and down playing. He then asks them to stop, and the camera rolls to reveal that, as this is a robot apartment, two nearly-identical spring-mounted robots are playing cards.
  • Subverted in another episode, where Fry and Amy take a trip to Mercury but Amy's pod breaks down. When a man comes to help them, he gets excited when he sees the windows steamed up. He's disappointed when he sees them just playing cards. However, they do start making out later on.
  • Leela and the others think Fry and Amy are having sex in the closet. But, in reality, they both are pretending have sex to tease their friends. Seconds later Fry and Amy actually do it.
• In The Great North, Season 1 "Game of Snownes Adventure", Alyson wants to show Jerry some horrific, but intimate, photographs she took when she was younger which she is now ashamed of: her 2003 bang photos. When Jerry said he doesn't want to look at it and Alyson makes him look, he's relieved to see it's just photos her with hair bangs and her former friend getting their picture taken in different places and what she's ashamed of is her hair bangs.
  Alyson: I want to erase my memories of being in the bang gang.
  Jerry: Alyson, you need to work on how you're using that word.
  Alyson: No!
• Justice League:
  • The episode "Wild Cards" opens with one of these. (The real double entendres are saved for later.)
  • The disguised finale for Batman Beyond, "Epilogue", also used one when Terry is hearing about how Batman became his father, specifically when recounting getting a blood sample of Batman's from a crime scene: "Bruce's DNA was easy enough to obtain; he left it all over town." pause "Not remotely what I meant."
• In the Phineas and Ferb episode "The Remains of the Platypus", there is a scene where it is made to look like Perry (who was transformed into a butler) was shaving Doofenshmirtz's groin area... except the camera zooms out and we see Doof with a towel and Perry is shaving his legs.
• In a Robot Chicken sketch spoofing G.I. Joe, a member of the Joes defects to Cobra after being the Joes' Butt-Monkey. Cobra Commander gives him the callsign "Trouser Snake", inspired by the nice pants he's wearing; considering the Joes dubbed him "Fumbles" for slipping on a spilled soda, this is actually an improvement.
• In an episode of Rocko's Modern Life Heffer is talking to a female cat at a gym he's shaking nervously and turns around sweating, shaking, and grunting heavily implying that he's masturbating but the camera turns around to reveal that he's trying to eat a burrito with chopsticks.
• The Simpsons:
  • Used in the episode where Bart and Lisa find and play a tape labeled "Homer and Marge Get Dirty", which is eventually revealed to only be a recording of the two of them carving pumpkins for Halloween and getting covered in pumpkin pulp as a result.
  • Used (and played with) more successfully when Marge fears that Homer is sleeping with his Vegas wife, and later overhears them together in the treehouse. The viewer is actually let in on the secret as we see her putting together a hoagie, with suggestive commentary by Homer; Marge listens worriedly, then:
    Marge: Oh, no... she's making him a sandwich!
    Homer: Use both hands!
  • Lampshaded when Homer asks where the milk is at a convenience store, and the shopkeeper points down... to a glass case of milk, to Homer then replies, "Oh, for a second there I thought you were pointing at your crotch."
  • "The Last Temptation of Homer":
    Mindy: Homer? I got a really wicked idea that could get us into a lot of trouble.
    Homer: Oh, Mindy... we have to fight our temptation.
    Mindy: No, Homer, let's do it. [Beat] Let's call room service!
  • A Running Gag had Homer appearing to make a sexual reference when he was actually talking about something else, usually food.
    Bart: You can't have any fun in bed.
    Homer: (chuckling) Oh son, when you're older, you'll know better.
    (Imagine Spot of Homer in bed eating a hoagie.)
• SpongeBob SquarePants:
  • FIRMLY GRASP IT IN YOUR HAND!
  • In "Suction Cup Symphony", "doctor" SpongeBob puts on a glove and stretches his hand to Patrick's butt, which isn't covered by his hospital gown. With his hand off-screen, squeaking noises are heard. Then, it is just SpongeBob squeezing a rubber ducky.
• South Park:
  • Chef's Chocolate Salty Balls. Which is then subverted, or something, when Chef goes over to The Dark Side (with a Darth Vader Suit and red lightsabre spatula) and becomes a pedophile.
    Darth Chef: Hello there children. How would you like some Salisbury steak? [...] And for dessert, how would you children like to suck on my chocolate, salty balls?
    William P. Conoly: Oh, you mean like a chocolate candy?
    Darth Chef: No, I mean my balls.
  • And this exchange:
    Cartman: Okay that's fine, I'll just play with myself then, I like playing with myself anyway, I could just play with myself all day!
    [Kenny bursts into laughter]
    Cartman: Stop laughing, Kenny!
  • Cartman's brief boy band, "Fingerbang", does this a lot. Cartman thinks it means Finger Guns. Their signature song includes the lyrics "I'm gonna finger-bang bang you every night!"
• Steven Universe:
  • In "So Many Birthdays", as Steven enters the donut shop as he fluctuating into middle age, he asks Lars and Sadie if they can "help him into his birthday suit" (actually a crown and cape). He then gets chased out of the shop with a chair.
  • In "Onion Friend", when Onion shows Steven a video of his birth. Right up until a few moments after the beginning and Onion shows the title of the video to Steven, it sounds like something else entirely.
    Vidalia: Okay! I'm ready! I'm READY!
    Steven: Wait — what's she getting ready for?
    Vidalia: Oh... oh Yellowtail... I think— oh... I think it's happening!
    Steven: Wait! Wait! What's happening?
• Teen Titans (2003):
  • In the episode where Blackfire visits, there is a scene where Starfire sees Robin and Blackfire's shadows and Blackfire is saying "There. Hold me just like that." After which, she throws Robin across the room in demonstrating some martial arts move.
  • In another episode, Raven is being held back by strange little aliens. One scene, possibly a triple entendre, begins with her laying down making noises suggesting either pleasure or pain. (The motives of the aliens haven't been explained.) The camera zooms out to reveal the aliens giving her a back massage.
• Undergrads had Gimpy teaching his friends how to play a video game. It involved a joystick. He went on a long spiel on how to use the joystick, with Rocko falling over laughing.
  Gimpy: You must master your joystick like a fisherman masters bait.
• A not-so-innocent example happens in an episode of The Venture Bros.: Dr Venture is giggling immaturely and clearly doing it on purpose. The dialog plays over an Establishing Shot of the compound before we see they're just trying to move a massive drill-mobile:
  Dr Venture: That’s it. Just like that. Easy! Pull back a bit. God, you’re right on top of me!
  Brock: Can’t help it. It’s— it’s stiff, Doc. Maybe I should lube this thing up before we take it down there.
  Dr Venture: It’ll be fine. It’s not built for speed. It’s built for deep penetration.
  Brock: All right, that’s it. You promised, no penetration jokes.
• In one episode of Yin Yang Yo!, Yang is fighting villains in the outhouse when Yin appears and gets grossed out when it sounds like Yang is having trouble with his bowels.
