History Radar / BeetleJuice

* The episode "Pest O' The West" featured an enraged bull ghost, Bully the Crud, who responds to Beetlejuice's interruption of his wedding ceremony '''to Lydia''' by screaming, "Nobody cuts off my nuptials and gets away with it!"

* After the recently deceased football team in Juno's office leaves, one of them asking about the men's room, the same player comes back later and says "I don't think we survived that crash." A smug Juno replies "how'd you guess?"

* One of the few times the Neitherworld is referred to as the afterlife was at the end of "Spooky Boo-tique", after Beetlejuice hits the ResetButton by sending Lydia's store to the Neitherworld, their one customer that he didn't have to hypnotize says she's "dying to know" where they've relocated. BJ responds with "let's just say, you'll have to."

* One of the few times the Neitherworld is referred to as the afterlife was at the end of "Spooky Boo-tique", after Beetlejuice hits the ResetButton by sending Lydia's store to the Neitherworld their one customer that he didn't have to hypnotize says she's "dying to know" where they've relocated. BJ responds with "let's just say, you'll have to."

* BJ also says the word "shit" when speaking to Lydia about why he can't say his name
* Barbara states she doesn't want to expose Lydia "to that pervert down there." This is after BJ has groped Barbara and tried to lift up her dress
* [[FreezeFrameBonus Blink and you miss it]]: Immediately prior to showing the Maitlands his scary face, Betelgeuse quickly makes a dismissive jerking-off motion

* A meta example: Have you ever wondered why Beetlejuice's fingers are red? During the initial stage of character design, the artists jokingly drew {{NSFW}} pictures of BJ and Lydia, one of which featured him fingering Lydia while on her period - getting his fingers bloody as a result - which then turned into an [[InJoke inside joke]] and ended up in the final design. So, in essence, we have a character who more or less has dried-up period blood on his fingers for the entirety of the series, and then there's also his transformation scene in "Dr. Beetle And Mr. Juice" where the "red" melts and drips off his fingers like a liquid...

* BJ also says the word "shit" in the film when speaking to Lydia about why he can't say his name

* In "Beetle Geezer," Lydia is apologizing to Beetlejuice about the boring activities she has planned for her visiting grandmother, who is 85. Charles had impressed upon his daughter how much his mother needed to keep calm, and she advises Beetlejuice to remember what her father had said. Apparently, Beetlejuice was eavesdropping at a different moment, because he proceeds to do an impression of Charles that the kids watching the show should ''not'' have understood.

* In the episode "Goody Two Shoes", Beetlejuice's antics get his neighbors to fight each other on Good Neighbor Day, causing a fairy named Goody Two Shoes to intervene.

* There's a subtle one that doubles as a GeniusBonus in the episode "Not So Peaceful Pines", where BJ develops a literal split personality, and his Bad Side goes on a pranking rampage in Lydia's town. Lydia and BJ's Good Side go get help from Freud {{Expy}} Zigmund Void, and we get this little gem:

* One of the few times the Neitherworld is referred to as the afterlife was at the end of "Spooky Boutique", after Beetlejuice hits the ResetButton by sending Lydia's store to the Neitherworld their one customer that he didn't have to hypnotize says she's "dying to know" where they've relocated.

* Beetlegeuse goes to a whorehouse in one scene. This was a PG movie!

** In the same episode, Lydia asks if there is a saloon, to which BJ replies, "[[NoFourthWall Not in ''this'' time slot, Babes.]]"

* "That was [[PrecisionFStrike fucking]] good!" -Beetlejuice after kicking down a tree.

* "The Neitherworld Beauty (You've Gotta Be Kidding) Pageant," ends with a "Miss Scenterfold" pinup. How many kids reading the comic knew what a centerfold pinup even was?

* Barbara states she doesn't want to expose Lydia "to that pervert down there", after BJ has groped her, and tried to lift up her dress

* In "A Very Grimm Fairy Tale," Little Boo Peep has lost his sheep. Lydia replies, "Maybe we can help you get your sheep together."

* In "Hotel Hello," Delia is kidnapped by a vampire. Near the end when Charles rescues her and confronts the vampire, he says, "I'm the only one who bites that woman on the neck!"
* In one episode, Lydia is apologizing to Beetlejuice about the boring activities she has planned for her visiting grandmother, who is 85. Charles had impressed upon his daughter how much his mother needed to keep calm, and she advises Beetlejuice to remember what her father had said. Apparently Beetlejuice was eavesdropping at a different moment, because he proceeds to do an impression of Charles that the kids watching the show should ''not'' have understood.

** Again in that episode, Lydia asks Beetlejuice if the town has a saloon - he replies, "Not in this time slot!"

** Also when the vampire says "I want to bite this woman in the worst way," it sounds a bit rapey.
