  • HIM hugging the mind-controlled Professor and then licking his neck in "Tough Love".
  • In the season 4 episode "Super Friends," a new neighbor moves in next door to the girls. While introducing her to the Professor, she alludes to being the result of a Surprise Pregnancy.
    Bubbles: This is our dad. He made us in his laboratory by accident.
    Professor: Well, what can I say...
    Robin: Don't worry, Professor — I was an accident, too!
    [Professor's eye suddenly spring up]
  • The reason Ms. Bellum she is only seen from the chest down has often been suggested as being a joking way of explaining that everybody is staring at her breasts most of the time. This is emphasized in "The Powerpuff Girls' Best Rainy Day Adventure Ever," in which Blossom dresses as Ms. Bellum by combing her hair over her face and shoving a few stuffed animals down the front of her dress.
  • The episode where Sedusa replaces Ms Bellum features a series of visual double entendres — for example, "Ms Bellum" helping the Mayor sharpen a pencil while he gets a blissful look, then pulls back the pencil to discover only a nub left.
  • The episode "Mommy Fearest" has the girls helping the Professor get ready for his date with Ima Goodlady, and Buttercup puts some unknown items inside his suit pocket, which are implied to be condoms.
  • Ultimately, Sedusa's whole gimmick is one big "getting past the radar" situation because all her plans involve, you guessed it, seduction. Using her beauty, curves and her feminine wiles to get what she wants out of men. While sex is obviously never shown it's heavily implied to be a factor in her process.
  • In "Stray Bullet", when the girls are arguing over whether a squirrel they've adopted is a boy or a girl, shouting over each other so you can't tell what they're saying, once Blossom and Buttercup fall silent Bubbles yells "Squirrels eat nuts, stupid!"
  • At the end of the episode Cootie Gras, when Mojo was thrown in jail, a large, burly prisoner was looking down on him with a sly smile. The Narrator's quip? "Love is in the air. Can't you just smell it?"
  • Once, the girls asked the Mayor for an extraordinary amount of money for their services. The Mayor literally has what appears to be a heart attack, then after calming down says "I'm no sugar daddy. Those days are over." "Sugar Daddy" refers to a rich man who pays a large amount of money or expensive gifts for sex or company from a younger person.
  • One of the villains happened to be named "Dick Hardly". Buttercup outright calls him a dick, but that got around the censors because it's his actual name.
  • One of the episodes is titled "Shut the Pup Up".
  • In this promo, Mojo Jojo shouts at a silverback gorilla at a zoo that he is the alpha male... only for the silverback to stand to full height and his eyes look down at the crotch level. At this, he kicks a pebble and grumbles, "It isn't fair he gets all the girls!"
  • The character Mascumax from the episode "Members Only" has dialogue that is LOADED with homoerotic innuendos.
    "Men of Earth! Witness the coming of…MASCUMAX! Breaker of men! Taker of worlds! Be there any true men amongst thee? Step forth and bring thy manhood against mine own, so that we might see who has the upper hand upon the measuring stick!"
    "Fools! I feed off your expulsions of manliness! The more manhood you bring against me, the harder I become!"
    • Even the title is just called "Members Only". Think about that for a moment...
  • In "The Boys Are Back in Town", The Rowdyruff Boys are no longer weak to the girls kisses, instead the kisses cause them to 'grow'. The girls find out that in order to defeat them they have to threaten their masculinity which causes them to 'shrink'.
  • At the end of the Christmas special, Princess infuriates Santa Claus so much that he puts her on the Permanent Naughty Plaque, which has only a few names on it. Some of them are the expected staff in-jokes like Bill [McCracken] and Ryan Faust, but there's also an "Adolph Schickelgruber". Take a moment to google that name. We'll wait. (Beat) Yup. You read that right—they legitimately snuck a reference to Adolf Hitler into a Powerpuff Christmas special!
  • One of the episodes is titled "Forced Kin". Say it out loud.
  • The scene at the end of the episode "Cootie Gras" has all three girls giving a schoolmate a big smooching that leaves him covered in red lipstick marks. Aside from the fact that the girls aren't wearing any lipstick, to some viewers, this scene is considered a G-rated version of a harem.
