13 Inappropriate Jokes In Cartoons You Didn't Understand Growing Up

You'll never look at your childhood the same way.

We asked the BuzzFeed Community what adult jokes in cartoons went over their head as a kid. Here are the hilarious results.

1. The "Getting Lucky" song in Chipmunk Adventure.

The Samuel Goldwyn Company

"The Chipettes have a song which literally says, 'Getting lucky, is really what it's all about. It's something I can't do without.' I assumed it meant scoring a kiss...now I know it's about scoring something else." —0621

2. This miscommunication in SpongeBob SquarePants.

Nickelodeon

"There's an episode of SpongeBob where Plankton is trying to get him to be more assertive and a fish sits on him. Spongebob then sticks his finger in the fish's pocket and Plankton says something along the lines of, 'No, no, no, assertive, NOT insertive!'" —sams44040a454

3. And Mr. and Mrs. Turner's concern for Timmy's paper towel-filled retreats to his room.
