(→‎Western Animation: Cleanup of examples (associating FOP with Dead Baby Comedy is a big [citation needed] to me, and butt jokes by themselves are a bit of a stretch - there's HAVING inappropriate humor and then there's making it the crux of the show's humor across the board). Also requesting context - I know a few of them DO definitely fit the bill, but I don't know them well enough to take them at their word.)
