A joke on a children's TV show that children of the appropriate age would likely never get, but which their parents would. Serves as a way to keep the adults and older kids entertained and usually takes the form of an [[Homage]] to a movie or TV show that children would not normally be familiar with. This is the master trope to other "subliminal" tropes like a [[Double Entendre]], [[Does This Remind You of Anything?]], [[No Celebrities Were Harmed]], or [[Getting Crap Past the Radar]]. It could also count as a [[Genius Bonus]], since most children would have to be educated above their general age level to understand these.
