''discussion leading up to creation of the entry ''

Yet another concept without a name: the way a lot of kid's TV shows have hidden in-jokes for the adults. (''SesameStreet'' is just the most famous example.)Maybe this is a subset of MultipleDemographicAppeal, or maybe this is a trope, or maybe a device?

DoubleEntendre seems to touch on this.

That does cover it, but DoubleEntendre tends to imply sex jokes, and this is more than that. I'm thinking of characters like Sherlock Hemlock and the Count from ''SesameStreet'', or the moment in ''SquareOneTV'' (a kid's show about math)where the heroes are in an airport and we hear "can miss Amelia Earhart please come to the front? Miss Earhart, we have your luggage."

//Ah. Huh. That ''is'' tough to name. Some spitballing: OverTheHead, {{Overtext}} as a play on {{Subtext}}, an AdultLine ...

BTTheP: I've spent some time reading the blog kept by a few of the main staffers on AmericanDragonJakeLong, and it occurs to me that these types of jokes are more for the writer's benefit than the parents.

IdleDandy: I have recently discovered a downside to the ParentalBonus. Children of a certain age (about 5-7 years old) interrupt the program to ask why the adult is laughing. I recently watched ''Toy Story 2'' with my niece, who wanted me to explain the various things that were cracking me up. Try explaining to a 6 year-old why you shriek when Emperor Zurg's ion blaster settings go to 11. Perhaps the best crafted ParentalBonus joke is one that is simultaneous to a kid-oriented joke.

{{Tabby}}: Maybe it's just me, but it seems like all of a sudden in the last couple years there have been a disproportionate amount of Talking Heads jokes in animation. No real comment on that, just that it made me go "hunh."

LooneyToons: Really? Cool. Like what?

{{Tabby}}: Only two spring to mind at this very second, although I'm (retroactively, having only been introduced to the band a year or so ago) sure I've seen more. An episode of ''TheGrimAdventuresOfBillyAndMandy'' started with a dream sequence that culminated in Grim yelling, "This is not me beautiful house! This is not me beautiful wife!" and being woken up by Billy running around him chanting, "Same as it ever was! Same as it ever was! Same as it ever was!" A subtler nod came in a conversation between the Senors Senior in an episode of ''KimPossible'': "Junior, this is not a party. This is not a disco. This is not...'fooling around'!"

{{Ununnilium}}:

Usually in regard to daily habits, while others drew reference topicals, such as "Sadman Huszany".

...what? @.@

Wiki: Three words: "Heart-burp", "High-cassorol", "Sadman Huzany".

{{Ununnilium}}: See, that was the only part of the sentence that ''wasn't'' confusing.

ZanderSchubert: What's so bad about the Prince reference from ''Animaniacs'' that it shouldn't've gotten past the censors?

{{Shandrunn}}: ''Fingerprints''. Let that one sink in for a while.

{{Psyclone}}: Removed:

*** And another surprise, somewhat ill-recalled:
---->'''Dot''': What's a pianist?
---->'''Yakko''': Goodnight, everybody!

And replaced it with the actual skit.

{{Nyperold}}: Okay, I'm not sure if these fit here or if they'd be more like an ObscureKnowledgeBonus, but:

* In the ''GarfieldAndFriends'' episode "Star Struck", a director named Federico Fettucini gives Garfield work as a stunt cat. As a child, this name is just randomly Italian, and a food reference. As someone who has since been exposed to movie knowledge, the name can be easily identified as a reference to [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Federico_Fellini Federico Fellini]]. In one scene, Jon asks if the shark pursuing Garfield is mechanical, but Mr. Fettucini says he wants "only realism" in his films. This is an interesting statement considering Fellini's work in Italian ''neorealism''.
* In an episode of ''Arthur'', Buster smuggles a dinosaur footprint out of a park where he and Arthur found it. They later return it, and afterward, are told that Doctors Marsh and Cope have differing opinions on the identity of the print. [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bone_Wars One can only hope these fictional counterparts weren't jerks to each other like their historic surnamesakes.]]

FuriKuri: Seems to me that the Garfield one would be parental bonus, the Arthur one more obscure.
