** The show's content is actually age-appropriate and none of the writers try to go too far with risque content.
** The content isn't targeted at children and the writers are free to include whatever content without having to mask it.
*** The show isn't intended for kids. It's just that parents let their kids watch it then complain on forums for it's risqué content. The characters even explicitly tells the kids to watch something else.
* '''Enforced''':
** The show airs on a channel whose censorship is notorious for letting a lot of things slide (at least until the MoralGuardian complaints come rolling in).
** The show originally aired in a country that is fairly liberal in showing "adult" things in kids' cartoons (within reason) such as Japan, Belgium, Canada, or France, and the people in charge of localizing it for the United States do their best to make it palatable to children's audiences by bowdlerizing it, but, whether due to [[IdiotBall incompetence]], [[HaveAGayOldTime a poor grasp of comprehending common slang expressions]], or [[RefugeInAudacity the localizers having fun and pissing off the censors]], there's DubText that ends up making the cartoon more risque than it was in its native country.
** The creators of ''The Adventures of Bob'' believe in DefyingTheCensors and use many tricks to get the producers to let risque content through.
** The producers want ''The Adventures of Bob'' to have a PeripheryDemographic (read: appeal to older viewers as well as younger ones), despite that the censors want more kid-friendly material, and they find that the best way to do this is to use this trope.
** The show is intended to get out to older generations as well as younger ones, so they slip a few dirty but hidden jokes so any adult watching the show can enjoy it as well.

* '''Defied''':
** The creators take pride in the fact that their show is both wholesome and popular with kids and adults.
