How many examples on Duckman are valid? It's aimed at adults to begin with, though I think it says somewhere that the show was TV-PG, not TV-14.

Radar.Mr Peabody And Sherman is rated PG in the United States and as such, I doubt any of these count:
- When he's trying to avoid a Time Paradox involving two Shermans from different timelines, Peabody says he has to prevent Sherman from touching himself. Everyone's reaction just sells it. Especially Ms. Grunion, who begins furiously writing on her clipboard.
- Mr. Peabody receives a triplicate presidential pardon at the end of the film, including one from Bill Clinton, who claims he's "done worse".
- Agamemnon mentions Oedipus' relationship with his family.
- This gem:
Mr. Peabody: Ah, ah, ah! Careful, Sherman. It's a booby trap.Sherman: (laughs)Mr. Peabody: What's so funny?Sherman: You said booby!
- When explaining to Penny what the consequences of marriage to King Tut will lead to when he dies, she's shown a picture of a woman getting her heart ripped out of her chest in a bloody mess. Penny is seven. They also give her detailed description of what they will do to her body when she's dead, involving that they will rip all of her organs out and then proceed to make her emptied body into a mummy. Worst part is that this is actually Truth in Television.
- Also, when Leonardo da Vinci and Mona Lisa are having a quarrel when he wants her to smile for his painting.
Mona Lisa:... while I sit here on my abbondanza!Sherman:...I don't think that means "chair" in Italian.
- Bill Clinton can be seen putting the move on Mona Lisa in the moment between Mr. Peabody explaining how to repair the time rip and Agamemnon saying he doesn't get it.
The work's main page also has two references to GCPTR that are also unlikely to be valid.

I'm just wondering, can you think of any real legit non-hypothetical examples of GCPtR? Or can you only list hypothetical examples like Barney the Dinosaur getting a blowjob?
Because I feel like if none of the examples on The Cat in the Hat qualify, then I have no idea what does.

This post
, which should probably be pinned given how often this comes up, has a few.
That said, I think getting away with a PG rating in a time where PG-13 didn't exist, and there were widespread complaints about PG films being unsuitable for children means less than it would for a more recent movie.

You've asked this before, and I think someone brought up the "fingerprints" joke from Animaniacs, which the creators have said they were surprised got in (someone should upload it as a video example).

I'm Sad Frogerson.
For what it's worth, one of The Cat in the Hat examples is also a video example (the S.H.I.T joke), so that at least should stay.
I know I already brought the question up, but whenever someone gives me an answer, there's usually an argument over whether it fits or not. (For instance, in the Airplane example, some people replied pointing out that PG was basically the same in the eighties as PG-13 is nowadays, so it seems like more of a case of Values Dissonance.)
Looking to see if these considerations for My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic fit the trope well enough to be added.
- Throughout the series, cider as used as a stand-in for alcohol: its appearance looks like beer (frothing brown liquid in tankards), Big Mac cries and chugs mugs of cider after he thinks Sugar Belle is breaking up with him, and the Apple Cider card in the card game claims that ponies refer to cider as "liquid courage". Writer M.A. Larson once pitched an prohibition-style episode where cider was outlawed in Manehattan and Applejack became a bootlegger sneaking it into the city, but Hasbro shot it down.
- "Dungeons And Discords" focuses on Discord joining Spike and Big Mac for a "guy's night". In preparation for it, he compiles a list of "the rowdiest establishments in Ponyville". After disappointment that the three are just going to play Ogres & Oubliettes, he teleports them into the nightclub from The Mask, complete with a server tending bar.
- The title of Season 8's "Grannies Gone Wild" is an obvious reference to the famous pornographic DVD series.
- In "Every Little Thing She Does", after Starlight Glimmer mind-controls the Mane Six sans Twilight for several hours, the next day their symptoms are a blatant allusion to getting a hangover from drinking: they're tired, lethargic, and unkempt, sensitive to bright light and loud noise, and have little memory of what they'd done the previous day.
- In "Father Knows Beast", Twilight accidentally walks in on Sludge lounging on Spike's bed in a bathrobe: when he rolls over to face her, Twilight's eyes dart down for a moment before she backs away and covers her eyes.

So, I'm planning on making a page for the Chinese-American Netflix animated film Duck Duck Goose, which is a PG-rated film aimed at children and families. Remember that when you read the below paragraphs.
There is a scene where the film's protagonist, a goose named Peng, is sneaking into a restaurant. He hides beneath a table where a man and a woman are sitting. At one point, Peng makes the woman think the man is touching her foot, which, to be fair, we've seen before and is fairly harmless as far as adult jokes go.
But then Peng lifts his head beneath the man's side of the tablecloth, right in front of the man's crotch area. The woman sees this, and slaps the man in the face.
They made a very unsubtle reference to erections in a PG-rated children's film. If that's not an example of this trope, then nothing is.
The first on is Drunk on Milk. Not sure about the others but they don't seem like they're trying to sneak something around the censors.
Showtime!
Seems like an accurate example to me
I'm also wondering if this scene in My Little Pony: The Movie (2017) counts. (Sorry if anyone mentioned it already.)
At one point, Capper is trying to trick the Kludgetown residents by claiming the ponies have a fatal disease. He then claims that the fish man has caught it, and tells the fish man not to touch anyone or "parts will fall off". The fish man covers his crotch before running away. (You can also see a female creature covering her chest with both hands in the background.)
It's a not-so-subtle reference so someone's dick (and breasts) falling off in a film aimed at young girls. (Sure, it's rated PG, but that's basically the new G in this day and age.)

For the Discord example, the episode is teasing that "guy's night" is something more mature, which is what Discord was expecting with his list of places to hit and taking them to a nightclub. But I can see how it isn't opaque enough to qualift.
"Grannies Gone Wild" is really obvious in referencing the softcore porn series.
The Mane Six "hungover" from mind control magic, I can see how that wouldn't count.
Twilight and Sludge, when he rolls over in an open bathrobe, her eyes glance down and she gets embarassed and backs off and covers her eyes; clearly the joke is she saw something down-low she did not want to see.
I'll link the Sludge scene for your judgment (it's at the start of the clip, so it'll just take a few seconds to see the content in question) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=je8W5cRRdBI

Are any of the examples on Radar.Psychonauts inappropriate for a T-rated game?
Keet cleanup
Does anyone else have thoughts on the MLP candidates?
Maybe you could make the case that Elton's Campster profile is a Parental Bonus, but as far as I can tell, all the examples on that page seem pretty reasonable for a T-rated game. (As in, they aren't GCPTR.)

Re: Grannies Gone Wild
File this under "G", for "Grannies Gone Wild should be in Parental Bonus, because most of the young'uns wouldn't understand the reference."
NEW "THREAD": Radar.The Powerpuff Girls
Found these three examples:
- In the episode Equal Fights, Straw Feminist villainess Femme Fatale has a picture of a cat licking another cat◊ on her wall.
Seen the image, and I don't get why it's GCPTR-worthy.
- There is a clearly labeled liquor store in the background.◊
- There is a clearly labeled liquor store in the background.
Oh noes! A liquor store! The kids'll be shocked!
- In the Christmas Special Twas the Fight Before Christmas, when Santa declares that Princess Morbucks is going on the permanent naughty list, one of the other names listed is Adolph… Schickelgruber. And as a Genius Bonus, Schicklgruber was actually the last name of Hitler's paternal grandmother.
See "Re: Grannies Gone Wild".
I'm thinking the cat thing is in reference to a certain slang word for genitalia. I think that'd be Parental Bonus.
The last page mentioned cleaning up the Pokemon subpages. I pulled up a bunch of entries from Pokemon that look like they're just Accidental Innuendo or something else:
- Male Bidoof's gender difference appears to be two extra puffs on the underside of its tail. Real life male rodents have large and prominent testicles. You're looking at Bidoof's 'nads. (It's pretty clear in Bidoof's back sprite that those two puffs are part of its tail, not testicles.)
- In Diamond and Pearl only, Flint of the Elite Four, despite being a Fire-type specialist, only has 2 Fire-type Pokémon out of the 5 total Pokémon on his team. One of his non-Fire Pokémon happens to be Lopunny. When looking for a reason as to how it fits him as a Fire-type specialist, the safest bet is due to its fluffy fur being warm. However, considering Lopunny's feminine figure and its rather coquettish cry, it's easy to interpret the reason as him finding it hot.note
- At one of the Castelia City buildings in Black and White, a girl says "My boyfriend isn't good at getting out of bed in the morning".
- In B2W2, one of the football players who you can battle in the Big Stadium on Wednesdays and Saturdays, if you challenge him in the main story, he asks if you think he's all sweaty. But then, in the post-game after you've beaten the Champion, he asks if you think he's fat, which he denies, even after you beat him and he gives you a Protein. (I'm not sure what this is supposed to be implying in the first place.)
- A real whopper right at the start of the game: If your (female) protagonist has a name starting with 'C', your new friends will start suggesting nicknames for you, like Lady C, Li'l C, and C-kins. Someone at Nintendo dropped the ball to let your friendly rivals call your protag a cunt with regularity.
- It's arguably easier to have that jump to mind if you name your female protagonist something starting with V, or a male something starting with D.
- In a street in Lumiose City, there's a pair of NPCs who use the standard "lovers" models, holding hands and staring at the Prism Tower. If you pass by them, you overhear their conversation: "You know, my Emolga really wants to shock your Dedenne..." The other NPC's reaction is a confused, "...what?"
- You can work part-time for the Hotel Richissime, cleaning out the rooms. Sometimes, you can find beds that have apparently been drenched in perfume.
- Some of the other beds are covered in Pokémon dander. This could be taken as the occupants just letting their Pokémon sit on their beds, but the more dirty-minded will probably think of something else.
- ...or the trainers just let two of their Pokemon have the bed for a while. (The first example might be okay, but the rest - geeze, it's just Pokemon hair.)
- Some of the other beds are covered in Pokémon dander. This could be taken as the occupants just letting their Pokémon sit on their beds, but the more dirty-minded will probably think of something else.
- Upon defeat, one Youngster trainer in the Battle Maison will exclaim "Aww sh...shucks!".
- One Beauty whose text in English translation is "Yes a mere half a year ago I was a Black Belt! Quite the transformation wouldn't you say?" In the original Japanese she says, " I was a Karate King just half a year ago; the power of medical science is awesome, wouldn't you say?" While the English version (arguably) writes around it, it's pretty clear in the Japanese that the Beauty is a post-op trans woman. (Are trans women not allowed in E-rated games?)
- When proceeding to the Aether Foundation for the first time, employees note that they are conserving Corsola because Toxapex is preying on them and "leaving a trail of Corsola remains on the sea floor". (There are a lot of references in the games to Pokemon eating other Pokemon, so I don't see how this is an example.)
- Some of the dex entries pertaining to Mega Evolved forms of Pokémon imply or state that the Pokémon have become more cruel, vicious or bloodthirsty as a result of Mega Evolution. Not even Mega Kangaskhan's child is safe! (Similar to the above.)
- Very early on, when you and Lillie walk to Kukui's house, you hear a loud clatter which rocks the outside of the house, and once inside he explains that he was letting Rockruff test its moves on him. However, the really eyebrow-raising part is when Kukui goads the Rockruff into it by yelling, "My body is ready!" (Just a meme reference, not a sex joke.)
- The first time you meet Hapu, she threatens to attack a pair of Team Skull grunts with her Mudsdale, even mentioning that the results would be "messy". And she says this after you defeat the grunts, so she's probably not talking about Pokémon battling. Considering most scenes of Team Skull are quite goofy until Po Town, this could be a case of Crosses the Line Twice.
- Beauty Carolyn at the Battle Buffet offers to "feed you" if you defeat her (several ways that can be interpreted, and most fit the Radar Trope).
- After the player saves Lillie from an Alolan Exeggutor, she comments that the Exeggutor has grown "a bit more vigorously than I'd prefer!" This is followed by several seconds of Lillie looking shocked at what she just said, before she smiles and giggles about it.
- If you visit Olivia's room above her fossil shop, you'll find it has a Stufful and four Stufful dolls that "move and are very popular with single ladies".
- She also says "I do love a boy/girl with a good appetite!" if you eat with her in the restaurant in Konikoni City. If this line wasn't meant to mean something else, one could very easily misconstrue it.
- Mina, the Fairy Trial Captain, whose constantly vacant, spacey attitude, flightiness, single-minded obsession with her art projects once she comes up with one, and habit of dropping by her parents' house, stuffing her face with food, and then taking off while hardly saying anything add up to make her about as close to The Stoner as you can get without drugs actually being shown or mentioned.
- The Pink Petal that Mina gives you after her trial in Ultra Sun and Moon looks suspiciously like a butt plug.
- There's an Office Worker in Po Town who sells Big Nuggets once a day, but only if you defeat him in a battle first to prove your worth. Minus the battle, the entire sequence is set up like a drug deal, given that he's in a secluded area like Po Town and you paying 5000 Pokédollars for a potentially-illegal product.
- After beating Pokémon Ranger: Shadows of Almia, if the player goes back to Boyleland and talks to the couple inside one of the houses, they only have this to say:
- Man: Our relationship turned turbulent like boiling magma...Woman: This guy's explosive like a volcano...
Should I get rid of these? There are probably more examples too, these are just what I pulled on a first read-through.
RE: Warrior Cats: As someone who grew up with the books at a pretty young age with the first book coming out when I was 8... Yes the books do have LGBTQ+ characters in the case of Barley/Ravenpaw, and Tallstar both of whom are actually confirmed gay by the authors. As well as Mothwing who is pretty much an example of a Lesbian Agnostic. But yeah, aside from those which are similar to Harry Potter which has no page everything on the page should fall under Parental Bonus. Nothing is actually lewd as the sex is either implied or offscreen. Hardly examples of GCPtR. Everything else is either HoYay or implied. For one Kestrelflight's infatuation with Jayfeather, the blind medicine cat protagonist of series 3 and 4 falls under HoYay due to the feelings being entirely one-sided. Like the... ahem "interesting" Boss Giovanni fantasies Meowth has, they are intentional for adults who read them to have a good laugh at. I'd say Warrior Cats falls into the same boat as MLP: everything is intentional for adults to really laugh at things that would go over kids heads, as in, Parental Bonus.

Fair warning: I can get pretty emotional and take things too seriously.

From Music.The B52s:
- Getting Crap Past the Radar: Who knew that B-52's had stealth capabilties? Every. Single. One. of their albums have a completely raunchy subtext somewhere, but to date none of them carry a Parental Advisory label. They are careful to never actually swear on record, though they have done so in unreleased demos (Funplex for instance, had "here's your stupid 7-UP" as "here's your fucking 7-Up" before it was changed for the final version.)
Not familiar with their music, but it says subtext, and that they never explicitly swore, so probably doesn't fit.

Ho Yay is for unintentional stuff.
