A Date With Rosie Palms is no longer a trope


* During Yakko's last verse in his rap battle against Jay-Pac in "Gift Rapping", he exclaims that his opponent is "less fresh than the 20-year-old baloney in [his] slacks"...as he ''rummages his hand down his pants'' [[ADateWithRosiePalms in a VERY suggestive manner]]. Not helped by the grossed-out look on Jay-Pac's face when he does this.

Added DiffLines:

** In the same song, Dot has a very flirtatious manner, one line of which would easily merit a "Good night, everybody!" in another segment. Some examples include referring to Dot as "the name I flirt to" and threatening to have people arrested if they "touch me, or get near me" ([[DontExplainTheJoke One wonders just what sort of "touching" she is referring to]]...)

Added DiffLines:

* In "Soda-pressed," Wakko sings about eating wings at a certain restaurant before being interrupted. Given that the previous line ended with "scooters," it is obvious that the restaurant in question is Hooter's; a restaurant (in)famous for its' scantily-clad "Hooters Girls."

Dork Age was renamed


Backed by Creator/StevenSpielberg (who, at that time, was the titan in the animation world) and Warner Bros.' decades-long belief that [[AnimationAgeGhetto the idea of cartoons being strictly for children]] was for ''other'' studios,[[note]]Or, at least, their ''return'' to that line of thinking after their DorkAge of the [[TheSixties Sixties]] and [[TheSeventies Seventies]] where they submitted to the AnimationAgeGhetto.[[/note]] the writing staff considered it a day wasted when they ''didn't'' push the envelope and get at least one ParentalBonus or risque LateToThePunchline moment into the show. The material was snappy, the joke-writing knew how to entertain young and old alike, and {{Censor Decoy}}s were deployed in a ZergRush. Even the staff members at the time were amazed at what they got away with...and the fans who grew up with this show in the 1990s are as well. Besides this list, there are many online articles and videos dedicated to showing all the jokes that viewers understand now that they didn't when they were younger.

* In an episode, Wakko makes cereal using his body as a bowl, specifically in the area right above the legs. ''Milk'' is seen coming out of it, even though he did not put any. The best part? [[FreezeFrameBonus The cereal in question is called “Sugar Balls”]]
