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

Dexter’s Laboratory is one of Cartoon Network’s most successful shows. Even though the show was highly popular in the mid-2000s, Dexter’s first episode aired in 1996! You can’t be a 90s kid if you never felt the uncontrollable urge to strangle Dee Dee whenever she annoyed Dexter – all of you Millennials know what I’m talking about.

I’m starting to realize Cartoon Network shows were much spicier than I remember. They didn’t even bother hiding it, like making Dexter’s assistant a stripper- a good call for a kids’ TV show – sarcasm intended. I kind of want to search for that episode now just to see if Dexter ended up paying her the 50 bucks or not. If you remember, please let us know in the comments!
