42 Inappropriate Jokes and References in Cartoons That Were Actually Meant for Adults

We all know that Harley Quinn can be quite the character, so it’s no surprise she would be on our list. Most people usually look past Harley Quinn’s wit and often see her just as the Joker’s love interest. However, she’s so much more than that. Harley is funny, endearing, intelligent, and fearless – a great role model for young girls if you ask me!

Harley Quinn is also a visibly queer character who contributes to the representation of the LGBTQI+ community in mainstream cartoons – something we desperately need. She’s teaching young girls that being quirky and different is okay as long as you’re true to yourself! So, think again next time you think Harley Quinn is nothing but a punchline and a wooden mallet.
