Does This Remind You of Anything?/Western Animation

"Bleeding Gums Murphy: I spent all my money on my $1,500 a day habit.
 * In an episode of The Simpsons, Lisa's addiction to the Corey hotline is portrayed as similar to a drug addiction.
 * In another episode of the same series, where Homer moves into the treehouse with a woman he married while inebriated in Las Vegas, Marge overhears that woman making a sandwich to Homer's specifications... which to the audience sounds surprisingly like a certain sexual act. An appalled Marge exclaims, "Oh no! She's making him a sandwich!"
 * In the episode "Love, Springfield Style", in Bart's version of the movie Sid and Nancy, Lisa and Nelson become chocoholics in a way that is portrayed like a drug addiction, right down to using razor blades to divide small piles of chocolate milk mix, using cigarette lighters to melt pieces of candy bars in spoons, and flushing various chocolate candies down the toilet whenever the cops show up.
 * In the episode "Round Springfield", this classic exchange happens:

(start flashback)

Bleeding Gums Murphy: I'd like another Fabergé egg, please.

Salesman: Sir, don't you think you've had enough?

Bleeding Gums Murphy: I'll tell you when I've had enough!

(changes to a scene of Murphy lying broke and destitute in an alleyway, surrounded by broken Fabergé eggs)"

"Burns: We don't have to be adversaries, Homer. We both want a fair union contract.
 * In the episode "Last Exit to Springfield", Mr. Burns tries to bribe Homer, who's a Union leader. Homer thinks Mr. Burns is hitting on him.

Homer: (thinking) Why is Mr. Burns being so nice to me?

Burns: And if you scratch my back, I'll scratch yours.

Homer: (thinking) Wait a minute. Is he coming onto me?

Burns: I mean, if I should slip something into your pocket, what's the harm?

Homer: (thinking) My God! He is coming onto me!

Burns: After all, negotiations make strange bedfellows. (chuckle, wink)

Homer: (thinking) Aaaaaagh!

Homer: (aloud) Sorry, Mr. Burns, but I don't go in for these backdoor shenanigans. Sure, I'm flattered, maybe even a little curious, but the answer is no!"

"Homer: You've been out gallivanting with that floozy of a Bigger Brother of yours, haven't you? Haven't you?"
 * From "Brother From the Same Planet":

"Homer: Remember when I used to push you on the swing?
 * Also this disturbing exchange...

Bart: I was faking it.

Homer: (gasp) Liar!

Bart: Oh yeah? Remember this? "Higher Dad! Higher! Whee!""

"Nelson: Haw! Haw! I touched your heart!"
 * Yet another, in "The Haw-Hawed Couple": Bart becomes Nelson's "best friend", and it's played exactly like a relationship, with lines like "I've known him for ages, but we met at a party and hit it off right away" and jealousy over Bart 'flying kites' with another boy. Complete with a Brokeback Mountain homage at the end.

"Kyle: Awww! Come on!"
 * South Park does this one a lot, for satirical purposes:
 * "Here Comes The Neighborhood" was devoted to the town's reaction when Token Black, the only rich kid in town, convinces a number of other rich families (such as those of Will Smith and Oprah) to move to South Park. The locals get upset, and try progressively more extreme plots to drive the "richers" out of town: burning giant lowercase letter Ts on their lawns (short for "time to leave"), dressing as peak-headed ghosts (because rich people are scared of ghosts, naturally), etc. This was all a plan by Mister Garrison to take over their property and sell it to make the South Park residents rich, which fell through because the others hated rich folk... to which he replies, "Well, at least we got rid of those damn ni--" before being cut off by the closing credits.
 * "Best Friends Forever" was a thinly veiled satire of the media hooplah over the Terri Schiavo case, with a battle against The Legions of Hell thrown in for good measure.
 * "Jared Has Aides", in which the mistaken phrase should be obvious.
 * "Red Man's Greed", the history of American colonization and Native American displacement... with roles reversed.
 * "Margaritaville", a Jew (Kyle) starts preaching and gathering followers. Check. Some adults start taking him as a threat. Check. He is betrayed by one of his followers (Cartman) who sold him out. Check. He does a (sorta) Heroic Sacrifice. Check. He is hailed as a savior..

"Bloo: How did this happen?
 * In "Major Boobage", even with Kyle giving him hints Cartman didn't (or refused to) see any significance to his hiding of outlawed cats in his attic.
 * "Crème Fraiche": In Real Life, the Shake Weight already has this (see Real Life section below), taken Up to Eleven in this episode, combined with something that could only be described as literal Food Porn.
 * Rocko's Modern Life featured an entire episode with Ed Bighead having a closeted fascination with clowns, which is treated in the same way a more adult show might treat a sexual fetish.
 * Rocko also has his own secret, to the dismay of the others.
 * Fosters Home for Imaginary Friends, "Mac Daddy": When Bloo discovers that Mac created another imaginary friend in his sleep (or so they think), the conversation plays out like an uncovered affair:

Mac: I don't know! I don't remember anything; I just woke up and he was in my bed!"

"Leela: Just promise me you won't get behind the wheel without some sort of alcoholic beverage in your hand.
 * In another episode, Goo accidentally creating imaginary friends in her sleep is treated as similar to bed-wetting -- made even more explicit by Cloudcuckoolander Coco suggesting solving it by having Goo wear a diaper on her head.
 * And in another episode, Bloo going behind Mac's back to play with a rich kid is treated like an affair...down to Mac binge "drinking" with ice cream when he discovers Bloo is still doing it after the first discovery.
 * The relation may be even more similar than you think, as it had been demonstrated that sugar has an adverse affect on Mac.
 * The Powerpuff Girls played a candy addiction as a drug addiction (even going as far as hiring Mojo Jojo as their "fall guy" to commit some misdeeds to send him to jail so as to be rewarded with said candy).
 * Those sounds they made when eating the candy, AND after, really didn't help.
 * Mojo Jojo thought he could weaken the girls by taking the candy away from the Mayor and holding it captive, but the sound beating he received really changed that perspective.
 * Futurama does this a lot:
 * "The Route Of All Evil" portrays Bender brewing beer inside himself as awaiting a pregnancy, brought on by Bender realizing that there would be a living thing (yeast) inside him. He even goes so far as to sing lullabies and knit bottle covers. By the end, he's "giving birth" to the beer. Also notable for Fry declaring, "I hope it's a lager, so I can take it to a ballgame."
 * In an earlier episode, Bender gets addicted to injecting himself with electricity. Leela finds him doing the same in the bathroom and asks, "Bender, are you jacking on in there?" This could be interpreted as either an allusion to drug addiction or masturbation, making it a double Double Entendre.
 * And the opening of the first movie, Bender's Big Score, combines a particularly over-the-top example of this with a vicious Take That against Fox, comparing Planet Express closing and re-opening to the series' cancellation, sometimes bordering on Metaphorgotten.
 * The episode "I Dated A Robot" has parodied the society's attitudes towards both interracial marriages and same-sex marriages. The episode also has the Subtext that file sharing is morally wrong.
 * "Proposition Infinity" has Bender and Amy fighting to legalise "Robosexual marriage".
 * More than one episode had an odd example: robots need alcohol to function properly, so when Bender was feeling particularly bad about something, he went for a while without drinking... and as a result, behaved as if he were drunk. Thus, Bender's sobriety reminds one of alcoholism in humans.
 * Which leads to:

Bender: I promise nothing!"

"Masculine Police Robot: You call THAT an antenna?"
 * One of those episodes also has Bender's antenna treated like a certain part of male anatomy...

"Harvey: Mr. Vulcan, tell us about your superpower.
 * The above also happens in the more recent Neutopia, where at first the only noticeable difference in Bender is that his antenna is gone.
 * The Boondocks episode "A Date with the Health Inspector" is a satire of the Iraq War. Ed Wuncler III and Gin Rummy represent George W. Bush and Donald Rumsfield, the X-Box killer which starts the whole episode is Osama Bin Laden, and the store clerk that Ed and Rummy rob for no reason is Saddam Hussein (in a No Celebrities Were Harmed). Several quotes are also made referencing the war, such as Rummy reciting Rumsfeld's "known unknowns and unknown unknowns" quote, and Wuncler telling the clerks to "Bring it, bitch" (a parallel to Bush's "Bring them on" speech).
 * In fact, pretty much every children's cartoon since 1995 has done at least one really, really G-Rated Drug and one thinly-veiled Coming Out Story.
 * Harvey Birdman Attorney At Law had an episode with Peanut gaining his superpowers. The episode treated the "changes" a lot like puberty and Harvey (among others) were concerned about who he would have his first superhero battle with...
 * An earlier episode has Apache Chief losing his superpowers due to spilling burning coffee in his lap (to grow tall) presented as if it were erectile dysfunction. Made worst by the fact that . Multiple superheroes go on to play the powers-as-sexuality thing.

Black Vulcan: Pure electricity... in my pants.

Harvey: Tell us, what would life be like without your powers?

Black Vulcan: Well, you know when the power goes out in your house? It would be like that... but in your pants."

"Doofenshmirtz: (appearing out of nowhere) "Thwart me Perry the Platypus!"
 * And who could forget the episode where Harvey, who gets his powers from the sun, needs to stay in the shade for medical reasons, ending up with a powerful addiction to self-tanning lotion, with Peanut as his "dealer".
 * In Drawn Together, Ling-Ling and his wife are having troubles: she never wants to battle him anymore, and when they do battle, she just lies there, unlike in the beginning of their marriage. Then, they decide to have sex instead. (Metaphorgotten!)
 * In the Captain Planet and The Planeteers episode "Frog Day Afternoon", Dr. Blight manages to shoot Wheeler and Linka with darts full of her latest experimental mutation serum that unexpectedly causes them to shrink to about an inch tall... only hours later, in their sleep. And their clothes didn't shrink along with them. One can only imagine what the other Planeteers concluded upon awakening to wonder, and I quote, "Where could they have gone?" "Without their clothes?"
 * Phineas and Ferb features an episode in which Perry the Platypus discovers that Dr. Doofenshmirtz is having his evil plans foiled by another hero, which is set up like an affair, complete with Perry walking in and Doof having a pawprint (re: lipstick) on his face, with Peter the Panda hiding in the nearby closet. Not What It Looks Like indeed. They're not enemies. Just bad friends. Or so Doof said. There's a whole break-up dialogue between Doof and Perry. The "affair" is played with again in "Meapless in Seattle".
 * "Your hotdog is no match for my bratwurst!" What? Doof begins to fight Perry with his very long bratwurst, when Perry whips out his considerably shorter hotdog. Well, It Makes Sense in Context...
 * A similar situation takes place in "Hip Hip Parade", between Buford and Baljeet. A big part of the episode is about Buford breaking up with Baljeet, finding a "new nerd", then eventually dumping him and deciding to be Baljeet's bully again.
 * Buford even asks the new geek to speak in an indian accent.
 * As part of Getting Crap Past the Radar, in "Perry Lays An Egg", Doofenshmirtz begs Perry to "thwart him" after Perry leaves, seeing how his latest scheme was pretty pathetic. He chases Perry into town and just when Perry thinks he successfully escaped Doof ...

Perry: (Looks shocked and runs away)"

"Harley: Don't you wanna rev up your Harley? VROOM VROOM!"
 * While "Phineas And Ferb Get Busted" is a somewhat disturbing homage to prison films and A Clockwork Orange, the scene where the sergeant squirts the boys with water when they reach for their tools can remind some of waterboarding prisoners at Guantanamo Bay.
 * The Spectacular Spider-Man has Harry's addiction to the Psycho Serum Globulin Green, which causes black outs and . This is handy for adapting his actual drug addiction in the comics on a child-friendly show.
 * Pinky and The Brain has an interesting example. In the episode "Brinky", The Brain attempts to clone himself, which almost works until Pinky's DNA (from a clipped toenail) accidentally gets combined with Brain's, thus essentially making them parents of the resulting clone (and Pinky calling himself the clone's "mommy"). Most of the dialogue during the cloning process is scripted like an actual birth: for example, when the door on the cloning machine won't close (which is the reason Pinky's DNA is even in there), the Brain tells Pinky to help him "push", complete with Pinky doing Lamaze breathing.
 * A similar situation happens in Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog, when, prompted by Robotnik's comment that a complete idiot could make a better robot than them, Scratch and Grounder decide to create a robot of their own. The whole thing is played a lot like they're having a child together; first, they hug and say "We're gonna be parents!" Then, they put spare robot parts into the "Robot-Making Machine", and Grounder asks Scratch wistfully, "Oh, Scratch, I wonder what it'll look like?" When the robot comes out, Scratch cries, "It's a boy! He has my chin, and my eyes!" And, when the robot kid runs away from home, the two robots end up placing an ad in the paper that says "Parents Seek Missing Robot". It's pretty blatant.
 * In an episode of Disney's Lloyd in Space, Lloyd, a Martian, notices his antenna has been acting up a lot lately. As the episode is about puberty, it's all pretty obvious. It turns out that Martian boys will psychically project strange characters at the most inconvenient moments. The really strange thing, for a Saturday morning cartoon, is Lloyd's grandfather telling him that on Mars boys would get together to see who could project the weirdest character!
 * In the Grand Finale of Transformers: Beast Wars, Dark Action Girl Blackarachnia borrows Rattrap's rather lengthy sword for a mechanical purpose and swiftly snaps its blade in half. Cue to her paramour Silverbolt shuddering in sympathy.
 * A rather strange one of these appears in Code Lyoko, in which Jérémie is shown to have some computer magazines hidden under his mattress. Really. The French version makes it quite clear that Jim expected it to be a Porn Stash.
 * That one's a subversion. It's perfectly reasonable for the Gym Teacher/Head of Security to suspect a student of hiding a porn stash under his bed. However, Jeremy really did have a bunch of computer magazines. Then again, considering that he thought Aelita was an AI for almost two years, it's possible that they were the equivalent of porn for his fetish.
 * There is also the episode where Jérémie keeps using a helmet that boosts his brain power while ruining his physical and mental health. Steroid metaphor, anyone?
 * In Avatar: The Last Airbender, the scene at the end of "The Headband" where Aang and Katara have a big dance number that ends with them sweating and panting, looking at each with big smiles on their faces was something. Granted that is what normally happens when people dance, but still.
 * In the beginning of the episode where Sokka meets his future girlfriend, Aang quite happily says the line, "Where we're going, you won't need any pants!" It makes you wonder...
 * He also dresses up in women's clothes in the same episode.
 * And the scene in "Bitter Work", where Toph steals Aang's sack of nuts and then breaks a few with his staff and eats them. She even calls Aang a delicate instrument. This artist picked up on that.
 * The giant drill the Fire Nation used to pierce the wall of Ba Sing Se in "The Drill"; it's kind of hard not to associate the drill with something very, very nasty. It gets worse with the rock/water slurry, which appears to serve as a lubricant for the drill, and has the consistency of very slippery mud. Not only that, but when Aang delivers the crushing blow to the drill by smashing the weak spot, the slurry splatters everywhere, but particularly towards the front of the drill. It's no wonder Mai doesn't want to go anywhere near the stuff. Of course, even when you think about what the drill exploding could be a metaphor for, the imagery is still more funny than disgusting.
 * Just in case it was still subtle as all, just before attempting to "penetrate the Impenetrable City", the Drill extends itself.
 * The Legend of Korra follows in the footsteps of its predecessor, only this time around they are much less fun.
 * In "The Revelation", Amon has set up in the manner of a public execution.
 * At the end of "The Voice in the Night", . It, and Korra's traumatized sobbing into Tenzin's chest, is painfully similar to a rape.
 * In response to Amon, benders start to discriminate and oppress ALL non-benders with situations highly reminiscent of historic examples of oppression such as the Red Scare with Mc Carthy style laws, the Nazi subjugation of Jews, the Japanese-internment during World War II, etc.
 * One episode of Batman the Animated Series titled "The Ultimate Thrill" featured the character Roxy Rocket, a former stuntwoman turned jewel thief who rides rockets as part of her robbery plans. It's mentioned a couple of times that she is in it more for the thrill of the crime than the actual spoils, and adding Batman chasing her into the mix just made it more exciting. The episode ends with Batman cornering Roxy straddling one of her rockets which is about to crash into the side of a cliff, and her getting really into it.
 * Batman: The Animated Series was notorious for it's sexual innuendo. The pie scene in "Mad Love" for instance:

"Herr Doctor: I think she likes being tied up.
 * The Ren and Stimpy Show had lots of sexual innuendo of this nature. In particular one scene features Ren with a saw strapped to his groin sawing through a log on Stimpy's back causing Stimpy to react in pleasure. At the end, Ren's saw goes flaccid and he's shown looking tired and smoking.
 * Stimpy of The Ren and Stimpy Show has to overcome his TV addiction in one episode by quitting cold turkey. He eventually weans himself off... and goes into gambling
 * And in the episode Jerry the Belly Button Elf, Stimpy keeps playing with his belly button, which is treated similar to masturbation, but when Stimpy enters it (yes, he enters his own navel), he goes on an acid trip before meeting Jerry.
 * In one episode of Pepper Ann, the title character agonizes over whether she is ready to have her first... kiss.
 * In another, one character is caught sneaking into the school bathroom, and Pepper Ann is horrified to find out that she has taken up gum chewing.
 * So, you're fighting your older brother over a gigantic acid spill with only a ridiculously small space to do so, eh? Mega Man ends up in this very situation in the Ruby-Spears Mega Man cartoon, and his first action is to wrap his legs around said older brother's (Protoman's) waist. While Protoman's lying on top of him. Nothing suspicious about that, no sir.
 * Whatever you say, bro!
 * How about Roll vs. that female cosmetics robot? The makeup bot is under Wily's control, and straps her to a chair. Roll tells the robot to let her go, but Wily gives her a creepy look and goes "Not before I give you the beauty treatment!" Then the cosmetics robot produces an oversized powderpuff from her chest area (really) and tries to smush it in Roll's face. Roll acts like this is the worst thing in the world that could happen to her.
 * Transformers Animated had the Scrapper and Mixmaster watching a luxury car being dismantled while hooting and swilling oil.
 * Or how about when Meltdown was "experimenting" on Blackarachnia's body? She's pretty unsure, than the dude reveals his intentions to change her from technorganic to pure organic. The utter shock and terror at having her body violated beyond recognition, and her cries for him to stop. Thankfully Optimus saves her.
 * Disney's Doug has an episode revolving around a product touted as a "relaxant" that is not legal to sell to anyone under 18, but whose manufacturers are secretly trying to get kids hooked on it. The product, Nic-Nacs, does not exist in real life, but it's suspiciously similar to one that does...
 * Re Boot. Everything about Hexadecimal in Season 3 involved BDSM. Which was made even more disturbing when you realize the fact Megabyte is her brother...

Megabyte: Let us not even THINK about that."

"Double D: I didn't even know they had magazines like that!"
 * One episode of Aeon Flux manages to play Trevor performing back surgery on a Breen women like sex. The women moans ecstatically throughout the operation, and upon finishing, Trevor tells he that she was amazing and asks her if it "was as good for [her] as it was for [him]." While smoking a cigarette. And when Trevor's on-again-off-again lover Aeon learns of this, she reacts as though Trevor had cheated on her.
 * Aeon Flux was pretty much made of this trope. I can think of another episode in which Trevor caught Aeon atop his high-atmosphere platform; both were wearing pressurized air suits, and Trevor plugged the air hose from his suit into Aeon's and forcibly inflated her suit, then drained the excess air back into his, and repeat, causing each one to swell up in turn. She grunts in shock each time she's "filled up". Riiiight.
 * The Courage the Cowardly Dog episode "Freaky Fred" features the eponymous barber, who has a compulsion to shave anyone and anything completely bald. However his creepy inner monologue, complete with delighted, drawn-out repetitions of "Naaaaauughty", and chorus of "La La La La"'s in the background (very similar to a certain song in A Nightmare On Elm Street) cause him to appear as something between a psychopathic murderer and serial child molester, making the series' least threatening villain into one of its most disturbing (which is quite a feat).
 * He was, apparently, a parody of Sweeney Todd.
 * There was also Kitty and Bunny... two "friends".
 * In an episode of Ed, Edd n Eddy when Edd discovers a scientific magazine a page unfolds like a Playboy centerfold and he reacts "oh my" and smiles. The camera then reveals that the picture is of a praying mantis.
 * In another episode, Edd and Eddy are searching through Ed's room and Eddy finds a magazine called Chicks Galore. He gleefully remarks "Ed's been holding out on us!", only to discover that the magazine is about baby chickens.

"Edd: Can it be? 3 Kings who have traveled afar?
 * The Kankers' POV in the Christmas special. They found a moldy piece of bread, sausages and pennies, and a fur coat. Later, when Edd (dressed as an angel) was stuck to the top of Rolf's shed, Eddy was laying in a chicken's roost, and Ed (dressed as a shepard) was just standing there, the Kankers show up with the items in hand.

Lee: Away in a manger, huh? We come bearing gifts.

May: See? Mold!

Marie: I brought Franks and Cents!

Lee: And Fur!"

"Stan: And the Number One dog on my fictitious dog list is Brian Griffin!
 * Some scenes between Eddy and Edd in The Movie just scream... UST. Hell,.
 * And let us not forget how
 * The Sword of Omens in Thunder Cats. It's a weapon that Lion-O was given when he reached puberty. When he waves it around, it grows longer and longer until, with a great shout of "Ho!", its eye opens and a white beam shoots out and... oh, I can't go on, I'm disgusting myself.
 * In the Daria episode Jane's Addiction, Trent agrees to help Daria and Jane with a school project but flakes out on them. At the end of the episode he and Daria have a conversation about how "maye it wasn't such a good idea for [them] to get together...on this".
 * In the Kim Possible episode "Homecoming Upset", Ron and Bonnie are elected Homecoming King and Queen, and thus are forced to attend a number of public events together. At one of them, Ron is holding a fire hose and Bonnie comes up from behind and surprises him with a hug. The hose picks that exact moment to turn on and shoots water all over Kim.
 * The trip to Inspiration Point in Moral Orel, where Orel and his girlfriend go to "pray".
 * Invader Zim's society is structured around height entirely, to the point that leaders are chosen solely due to being taller than everyone else. This definitely has parallels to real life.
 * Dib using water against Zim in "The Wettening" crosses over into BDSM territory on a few occasions, in particular when he merely opens a tap behind Zim and watches with a growing smirk of satisfaction as he twitches and shudders with every drop that hits the sink. In the same episode, Zim covers himself completely with paste, white and sticky paste.
 * Dib's domination tendencies don't end there, however. In the first episode, having just met Zim, Dib decides the most appropriate course of action is to handcuff him. With handcuffs that, in his words, render aliens "completely helpless". Handcuffs that he was carrying with him for the slight possibility that he might encounter an alien.
 * Sleep cuffs, to be exact. Oh, the date rape implications.
 * Zim's robot Pak-legs function just like naughty tentacles, one would assume - only sharper and more painful.
 * On The Venture Brothers, when Brock and Lt. Baldovich coordinate over the radio to dock Dr. Venture's shuttle with the Gargantua I space station, it sounds like they're discussing a sexual encounter they're having.
 * Dr. Venture seems to realize it too, since he groans in exasperation and snaps at Brock to hurry up after a while.
 * Time Squad is made of this trope, thanks to the constant flashes of Ho Yay, Ambiguously Gay behavior, and moments of Freud Was Right. Examples:
 * In "Larry Upgrade," Tuddrussell and Larry argue like a married couple (but not before sending Otto out to play).
 * Then, there's the "break-up" between Lewis and Clark on "Lewis and Clark and Larry," along with Clark getting jealous that Lewis "went exploring" with Larry.
 * "Ex Marks the Spot" -- Everything about this episode screamed, "Yes, this show has Ho Yay!" Some memorable moments include: Larry being super-nice to Tuddrussell (to the point that it becomes Did You Just Have Sex-type behavior; further proven by the Visual Innuendo of Larry filling a turkey with gravy by shoving a funnel into the turkey and pouring the gravy in until the turkey looked like it would explode, then topping the turkey off with a cherry that sinks into the gravy, never to be seen again), then acting like a clingy jealous fembot when Tuddrussell and Sheila (his ex-wife, as revealed in "Kubla Khan't.") look as if they're going to get back together, and the icing on the cake: the ending with . The kicker to all of this is that it's all played straight. If this episode doesn't convince you that the show is fueled on Ho Yay, then nothing will.
 * A rare example that has nothing to do with the homosexual undertone of the show occurs in "Child's Play," where Shakespeare gets into creative differences between his agent (who wants him to do kids' plays for merchandise) and Larry (who acts as a Moral Guardian and keeps objecting to the plays' content). Considering how short-lived "Time Squad" was, one has to wonder if this wasn't Dave Wasson (the show creator) speaking out against the creative output of his show or if this was merely a satire on the mediocre quality of current kids' TV programming and movies due to greed and Political Correctness Gone Mad.
 * Another non-homosexual example: the two times Larry has acted drunk (in "Eli Whitney's Flesh-Eating Mistake," where his Non Sequitur Thud after being beaten by angry townspeople is "I'm okay to drive. Just help me to the car." and in "Pasteur Packs O'Punch where Larry experiences wild mood swings after being electrocuted, where he drunkenly tells Tuddrussell that he loves him, offers to drive despite being in no condition to operate anything, telling off Otto with a slurred, "Hey, don't tell me what to do!", and embarrassing himself at a party by standing on a table and declaring himself, "The Queen of France").
 * Tuddrussel always berates Larry's effeminate personality and hobbies and tells him to act like a robot (as seen in "Hate and Let Hate" and "Forget the Alamo"), which can be taken as a G-rated version of saying, "Get Back in The Closet!"
 * In a similar vein, on the first episode "Eli Whitney's Flesh-Eating Mistake," there was Fantastic Racism in the form of the townspeople who were attacked by Eli Whitney's flesh-eating robots attacking Larry because he may be a flesh-eating robot and Tuddrussell taking offense to being called a "robot lover" (though the rampant Ho Yay begs to differ).
 * Though the whole scenario could be taken another way, because Tuddrussel only takes offence ("Hey! You watch who you're calling 'robot lover'!") when a townsperson labels Otto as a 'robot lover' ("This must be some kind of flesh eating robot lover trick!") right after Otto explains that Larry doesn't have any teeth. Tuddrussel having taken offence to someone other than himself being labeled as such can vaguely be interpreted as pure jealousy.
 * "Daddio DaVinci" (season one, episode three) had Otto opening Larry's gear box on his chest and Larry covering himself in the same way a woman would if her breasts were exposed.
 * The My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic episode "Call of the Cutie" concerns Apple Bloom being the last in her class to get her "cutie mark," a symbol that represents who she is and what she'll do with her life. The language used to describe getting a cutie mark ("It isn't something that happens overnight, and no amount of wishing, hoping, or begging will make a cutie mark appear before its time"), the way Apple Bloom is teased for not having one, and the fact that one girl has a cuteceñera to celebrate getting hers, is reminiscent of a girl getting her first period or breasts, depending on whom you ask.
 * In the episode "Lesson Zero", Big Macintosh is holding onto a doll that Twilight enchanted so that anypony that looked at it, would desperately want it. First, Big Macintosh got a hold of it, and suddenly everypony from town starts chasing after him for it. They all end up crowding him and piling on top of him for it. Now, if the doll weren't there...
 * Never mind that. What about the time when Twilight Sparkle got flung into him? She crashed into Big Macintosh upside down, her back on him, and her tail end right under his nose...
 * Later in the episode we see that, once the spell is reversed, everypony stops caring about the doll except Big Macintosh who picks it up and gleefully runs away with it. A grown male genuinely infatuated with something intended for young girls, sound familiar?
 * How about in the episode "Owl's Well That Ends Well"? Spike (at about the 10:17 point) goes into Twilight's drawer looking for an extra quill, but finds a very frilly saddle which looks similar to panties.
 * A quite surprising example of this can be found in the Animated Adaptation of the French comic 'Asterix and the Big Fight'. In this animated movie, you can see Cancaphonix singing like a rock star, with his guitar between his legs.
 * The episode of Spongebob SquarePants where Larry the Lobster mistakes SpongeBob for a lifeguard because he has "White Stuff" on his nose.
 * What, sun-lotion?
 * The episode "Dumped" where Spongebob is heartbroken after Gary (his pet snail) leaves him for Patrick is treated as if Spongebob and Gary were lovers until Gary eloped.
 * "Squirrel Jokes" can be interpreted as an allegory for racism.
 * This troper always interpreted it as an allegory for sexist jokes. "Girl jokes?" "Squirrel jokes?"
 * In Danny Phantom, overshadowing someone looks very much like possession (although more benign).
 * American Dad has this:

(zoom out to reveal Brian, sipping a martini)

Brian: Uh, do I know you? (walks off)

Stan: (beat) STOP PRETENDING I DON'T EXIST!"

"Arthur: Francine! Distract the goalie! Tell him something about his face!"
 * In one episode of Downtown Jen and Alex have a "post-coital" scene where they lie on the bed, exhausted, and talk about how good what they just did was. The joke is that in the previous scene they weren't having sex, but playing children's board games.
 * In the Rugrats episode "Give and Take" Chuckie can't stop playing with Boppo. When the others tire of watching, they leave Chuckie with the toy. Phil comments, "A kid his age should be outside playing with his friends, not sitting alone in his room bopping his Boppo." Lil adds that her brother is right that Chuckie has a problem.
 * From an old episode of Arthur:


 * My Life As a Teenage Robot: "Daydream Believer". It's not hard to imagine it being about psychoactive drugs instead of daydreaming.
 * Codename Kids Next Door: Knightbrace is a wannabe dentist who was rejected by the ADA for being too crazy. He is shown stalking the streets, ambushing children, and mutilating their mouths. His attacks are played out disturbingly like rape scenes. And then there's the episode where there's a place where all the teenage couples go. "You go up as a boy, but come home as a man!" It's eleven minutes of sexual innuendo.
 * The entire series runs on this.
 * Slade's Mind Rape attacks on Raven in the Teen Titans episode "Birthmark" was disturbingly similar to an Attempted Rape scene. Come on, every time he touched her some of her clothes would disappear!
 * And his Mind Rape of Raven so heavily resembles the other kind of rape that a short hentai movie was able to be constructed from the scene without changing his dialogue at all.
 * His partnership with Terra has so many BDSM overtones she might as well have been wearing a gimp mask, his propositions to Robin to "join him" are equal parts "we can rule the world" and "I have candy in my van".
 * Pretty much all of Slade's lines and actions are similar to those of a rapist.
 * He's a JLA-level villain who spends his time hunting down teenagers, and psychologically tormenting them. What did you think his motive was for fighting them instead of the JLA?


 * Tiny Toon Adventures: Happens at the end of "My Dinner With Elmyra" when Elmyra plants a big one on Montana Max and Max squeezes the seltzer bottle in response causing it to spray seltzer everywhere.
 * In season 2, episode 18 of Wakfu, Sadlygrove fails to make his weapon get bigger, to which he apologizes to a nearby girl "I'm sorry, this is the first time this has happened to me."
