I think it was the autopilot{Airplane} scenes where my spouse and I looked at each other and said whoopsie, this is not for the little ones.
Still, that was relatively tame and subtle compared to some of Laura's jokes.


Now you are being completely absurd, and disingenuous. That you would compare Laura's jokes to a scene that portrays oral sex is simply over the top.

You may call that absurd if you like. But it was not disingenuous.

The 'autopilot' scenes in Airplane!, if I remember them correctly (and I may not --it's been years since I saw that movie), were not that obvious. IIRC to a small child, it would've just looked like a silly balloon toy flopping over.

Even though as I said, I wouldn't show that movie to little kids, I doubt a small child would've picked up what was going on there --unless, of course, that child had already been exposed to a hypersexualized environment. (Say, oh, hearing about Bill Clinton's romantic exploits, for example.)

OTOH, here's what my children would've been asking me about First Lady's jokes, if they were still little:
- Mommy, what does she mean, "Dollar Bill Lynn" ?
- What's a chippendale, mom?
- Mom, what's "Desperate Housewives" about? Can I watch it? Pleeeeeeeease?
- Mom, how do you milk a male horse?
