Line 41:
* At the beginning of "Easter Yeggs", Bugs was being interested reading a certain book. The name of the book? "How to Multiply".
** And he closes the book immediately after hearing someone cry.
* A similar joke occurs in "People Are Bunny", which is ''still'' rarely edited in modern showings. Bugs gets a call from a call-in quiz show where he has to answer a question to win a prize. The question is a ''very'' complicated multiplication problem, which he successfully solves in about a second. (And doesn't even need a pen and paper.) When the host asks him how he answered so quickly, his response?
{{spoiler|'''Bugs:''' Well, if it's one thing us rabbits can do, it's multiply.}}
* The Pepe Le Pew cartoons would qualify (after all, the whole series is a [[Stealth Pun]] on men going after pussy{{spoiler|...cats}}), though one Pepe cartoon makes this troper wonder why the Hays Office didn't intervene: 1953's "Wild Over You," in which Pepe's latest feline victim is an escaped wildcat who fights off Pepe by beating him up. The crap that got past the radar is Pepe stating that he liked it. Masochism, much?
** Another example was not so much as getting past the radar as the radar moving behind it: During one pursuit, Pepe calls out to Penelope: "You are too tightly wound up! You should try engaging in some recreational activitiy, [[You Need to Get Laid|like making love!]]" It wasn't quite so risque a term back then as it is now, but it still qualifies given the [[Hays Code]] and its rules on sex in cinema (including verbal implications of it).
Line 70 ⟶ 72:
* In ''The Trial of Mr. Wolf'', Red Riding Hood mentions her grandma has a huge hangover and quickly brushes it off.
* In ''The Draft Horse'' (1942, Chuck Jones) they snuck in the old marching song "You're in the army now" on an eyesight test, which featured the verse "you'll never get rich/you ''son of a bitch''" (written so small it's almost illegible without pausing).
* [[Foghorn Leghorn]] is a guy who often [[Talks Like a Simile]], but a lot of them come close to crossing a line, with references to nudity and strippers:
** "Hmmm, bare, I say bare as a cooch dancer's midriff."<ref>"Cooch dancer" is an old term for a stripper.</ref>
** "This boy's as fidgety as a bubble dancer with a slow leak."
** "This is gonna cause more confusion than a mouse in a burlesque show!"
** "That woman is as cold as a nudist in an iceberg."
