Random Adult Jokes on The Powerpuff Girls That You Missed as a Kid (13 items)

(#1) A Little Hitler Joke

On the Christmas special episode “Twas the Fight Before Christmas,” Santa threatens to put Princess Morbucks on the permanent naughty list. The list itself includes the name “Adolph Schickelgruber.” Adolf Hitler’s grandmother’s name was Schickelgruber.

An impressive little allusion, especially for a show aimed at kids.
(#2) Nuttiness Aplenty
In “Stray Bullet,” the trio is trying to decide what to name their squirrel, leading Bubbles to proclaim that she knows the squirrel is a girl because “squirrels eat nuts.” This is a bit risqué, but it’s one of those reminders that this series was initially intended to be for adults before Cartoon Network toned it down.
(#3) Ms. Bellum’s Address
69. Nice. Also “Yodel in the valley,” which, if you don’t know, is apparently a euphemism for cunnilingus.
(#4) Buttercup Slips Condoms to Professor
In “Mommy Fearest,” the girls set Professor up on a date. They don’t just schedule the time, either: they put on his tie and gel his hair, supplying him with breath mints, cologne, cuff links, and flowers. However, in the process, Buttercup says not to forget, “some of these” as she slips something - almost certainly condoms - into Professor’s pocket.
(#5) The Pencil Penis Representation

This isn’t particularly subtle, as Ms. Bellum helps the mayor “sharpen his pencil,” which initially snapped when he saw her cleavage. Not only do the pencil and fingers holding them resemble a penis and testicles, but because she’s holding his hand, it appears as if a sexual act is being performed.

This is one of the more blatant visuals you’re going to see in a kid’s cartoon.
(#6) A Mojo Jojo Prison Rape Joke
Mojo is in the slammer, and his rather intimidating cellmate hovers over him as the narrator says, “Love is in the air, can’t ya just smell it?” Yikes.
(#7) The Mayor Licking a Kitty Cat
In “Cat Man Do,” the Mayor licks a cat. Anybody who has heard feline euphemisms will be able to figure out what's going on here. Thankfully, to most youngsters, a cat is just a cat.
(#8) "No One Tells Me When to Come!"
In “The Powerpuff Girls Best Rainy Day Adventure Ever,” Buttercup and Blossom argue about “coming.” Buttercup says, “No one tells me when to come!” Whether it fits the script and story or not, the word choice there is intentional, and it proves how even the simplest line could have been dirty all along.
(#9) Sedusa Stole the Mayor’s “Family Jewels”
Obviously “family jewels” is a term used for testicles, so there’s really no further in-depth way to assess this one, other than they likely thought it sounded funny to say stealing one’s family jewels when you’re referring to actual jewels.
(#10) What a Drag

After being shown fake Powerpuff Girls who are clearly dudes in costumes of the girls, the narrator says “What a drag,” which is phenomenal pun work, and a solid joke that parents are more likely than kids to actually get.

It's a winking reference that's still inoffensive enough to keep parents from worrying about their child watching the show.
(#11) Blossom Was Dressed as Eric Cartman
It’s not a sexual innuendo, but South Park is a thoroughly adult cartoon, and the reference here is one a lot of younger kids wouldn’t catch.
(#12) Robyn Was an Accident
This exchange, in which Bubbles shares with another little girl that Professor Utonium made her and the girls by accident, gets a pretty surprising and dark response as she reveals that she was an unplanned pregnancy.
(#13) Blossom Stuffs Her Shirt to Resemble Ms. Bellum
Ms. Bellum and her cleavage are fixtures of the series, but when the trio is stuck inside on a rainy day, Blossom decides to pretend to be Bellum. Of course, as you can see, that means heels and a padded chest.
