As a kid I loved watching movies and i still do now. As you grow up you start to think that movies and television shows you watched as a child would start to get boring, but you could be wrong. I found that the older I got the more laughs I got out of the movies I loved growing up (Shrek, Rugrats, Finding Nemo, etc.)
Putting these adult joke into children's movies are not only good for the parents and teens watching the movies but also for the company producing the film, it helps bring sales and ratings up. Shows and movies with jokes for parents and adults are most likely going to be watched more frequently because the adult can sit and watch it with their child and not be bored they can even laugh a little along with their child. And hey, its not hurting anyone by slipping these little jokes in here or there.
That's hilarious! In my other favorites like Spongebob, Fairly Odd Parents and the Muppets there are a lot of adult jokes too.
