* While producing the ''WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes'' shorts for Warner Brothers between the mid-1930s and 1946, the animators at the "Termite Terrace" studio threw in gags that obviously crossed the line, so the [[MediaWatchdog Hays Office]] would let more of their riskier gags into cartoons without being censored.

(To which the other mutters, "If the Hays Office would only let me, I'd 'give him the bird', alright!")
** In the Road-Runner short ''"The Fast and Furry-ious"'' Wil E. is chasing the Road Runner on a circular highway. What makes this truly crap past the radar is that, when viewed from above, the highway looks oddly like a [[FreudWasRight certain part of the male anatomy.]] (This happens at 6:25)
** Another example came from the nature mockumentary ''Unnatural History'', where they showed a film clip of "a beaver damming a river".

** Beaky Buzzard getting combative: "C'mon, ya big sack o' shhhhoe leather..."
* Friz Freleng slipped an ''extremely'' clever one in "The Wabbit Who Came To Supper" (1942): At the end, Elmer opens a door to find Bugs wearing a bra, who screams - and then Elmer runs in closing the door - [[UnfortunateImplications cue thrashing of the house]], Bugs speeding out and straight to the door, with Elmer saying "Good widdance to bad wubbish!" And then, a delivery man comes to give Elmer an easter egg, filled with potentially ''hundreds'' of baby bunnies.
** What about the fact that Bugs was in a frilly, lacy room with a vanity wearing a bra and panties? Nothing wrong with that (at least by today's standards), but then FridgeLogic and possible FridgeHorror sets in: Whose room is that if Elmer isn't married and is the only one in the house?
** Joe Adamson points out in his book "Bugs Bunny: 50 Years And Only One Grey Hare" that Bugs is a creature of infinite resources. Where did the confetti come from when he tricked Elmer into believing it was New Year's? Who knows? We were just as snookered as Elmer and quite amused.
** Also, in one scene in which there's a nude picture in Elmer's house while Elmer cradles Bugs singing him "Rock-a-bye Baby". No, scratch that, ''many'' nude pictures in Elmer's house.
* The rain puddle on the bed gag from "Porky's Badtime Story" (1937, remade in 1944 as "Tick Tock Tuckered"). A similar gag is used in "Daffy Duck Slept Here" ([=McKimson=], 1948).
* "Little Man, You've Had A Busy Day" (''Dog Daze,'' Freleng, 1937).
** A variation of that line is also spoken at the end of ''Wild Wife'' ([=McKimson=], 1954), which has several references to sexism.
* Clampett's "A Tale of Two Kitties":
-->'''Babbit:''' Give me the bird! ''Give me the bird!''
-->'''Catstello:''' If da Hays Office would only let me, I'd give give 'im da boid, all right! (*whistle*)
* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LlbOahK5BWk Ah-HEM.]]
* In "An Itch In Time", Elmer's dog is being bitten in the butt by a flea and runs around the house yelping and dragging his butt on the carpet, moments later the dog pausing and starts panting heavily with a big smile on his face saying "Hey, I'd better cut this out; I might get to like it".
** That one, according to lore, was one of the gags put in with the expectation that the censors would take it out, allowing them to leave in less obvious or less risque gags. To the surprise of WB, the censors completely missed it.

* If you look closely enough on the upper right in one scene, you'll notice that there's a Kaiserhof topless/nude pin-up model in the WartimeCartoon short "Daffy-The Commando" during the Schultz/Von Limburger bunker scene in the beginning of the cartoon.
* 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.
* There's also this gag in "People are Bunny", where Bugs answers a question on a telephone booth.
-->'''Caller''': Well, Mr. Bunny, you have just won a chance at this giant jackpot question: How much is 1,297 times 142?
-->'''Bugs''': (nonchalantly and immediately after being asked) 184,174, what else?
-->'''Caller''': You're right! And here's your jackpot! (coins spill out) But tell me; ''how'' did you get the answer so quickly?
-->'''Bugs''': Well that's easy. If there's one thing us rabbits can do, it's multiply! Hehehe!

* Tex Avery's "The Sneezin' Weasel": The little chick runs for the bathroom after a pediatrician administers castor oil to him.
* In "Acrobatty Bunny" when the lion is finished doing the hula wearing only a lei, Bugs says they are also available for "Picnics, Lodge Meetin's, Children's Parties and Smokers". Smokers was a term for Men's only parties that had the secondary meaning of "stag parties".
* In the Bob Clampett cartoon "The Hep Cat" at one point the cat falls in love with a female cat puppet that the dog uses to distract him, at one point he starts feeling where her butt would be which is the dog's nose and he squeezes it and says with a sly smile "Something new has been added!, woo hoo!".
* In the Three Bears short "A Bear For Punishment" at the beginning when it shows Papa Bear sleeping in his bed there is a box of tissues and a book entitled "The Kinsey Report" lying on the floor, now for those of you who don't know the Kinsey Reports are a series of books based on the studies of sexual behavior.

* While producing the ''LooneyTunes'' shorts for Warner Brothers between the mid-1930s and 1946, the animators at the "Termite Terrace" studio threw in gags that obviously crossed the line, so the [[MediaWatchdog Hays Office]] would let more of their riskier gags into cartoons without being censored.
