My favorite is the IX II joke

Wat?
GrandChampion
That and Megara was the third eldest daughter of Creon who became ruler after Oedipus stabbed his eyes out. So meg essentially took Herc to a play about her messed up family .

PleaseIgnoreTheFollowing
Disney and Dreamworks Movies are full of fun for grown ups which seems innocent for Kids. Ice Age 4 says granny sloth 1/2

"The wrinklier the raisin, the sweeter the juice".. Or kinda. I laughed hard, the Kids in the room didnt know why
KINGMARKUS22
As a kid I always wondered what that was he was talking about. Didn’t fully find out til college, & it wasn’t that surprising with Greek

Meg was sooo sexy.
Mordy9
Meg is my favorite Disney Princess
LoganFine
Does he kiss his mother with that mouth?
Spearka
Yes.
venalencre
If only that's all he did to his mother with that mouth.

A Freudian slip is when you say one thing but mean your mother.
HerculeSatanChampionOfEarth
underrated
CobraClutch
Yes, and that's the problem.
RobJenkins
If this spurred a few kids into the classics then it did good work. was Harryhausen and Ulysses 31 for me but time moves on
trikucian
I was obsessed with Greek myths when I was little so I already knew the Oedipus story when I saw this movie ... at 8 years old
FajitaPrinceofAllMexicans
Kids wouldn't get it, that's why it's in there.

For reference, an oracle told Oedipus' father that his son will kill him and then marry his own mother...(1)
Razgriz2520
So to prevent that, he decided to throw away Oedipus to his death in the mountains through his servant....(2)
Razgriz2520
but the servant took pity and ended up bringing baby Oedipus to the ruler of the neighboring kingdom and they took him as their own son..(3)
Razgriz2520
As an adult, Oedipus ended up meeting his real father (which he doesn't recognize) on a road and kill him eventually after...(4)
Razgriz2520
Apparently his real father's kingdom is being terrorized by Sphinx and Oedipus successfully defeated it after he answered the Sphinx riddles
Razgriz2520
He become a hero and married Jocasta, the queen and his mother...(6)

Just think how smart it was made, adults will find it entertaining aswell and not just fall asleep bored in cinema with kids

I like the reference to Oedipus in Assassin's Creed Odyssey.
Mewmus

They put stuff like that in movies for parents who are watching the movie with kids. I noticed that reference for the first time as an adult
Petemccabe
My question is, when did they start? Are there lines like that in Bambi?
AeternalDreamer
Bambi's Thumper bit isn't far off, I think. I think it really started off in the new age movies, starting around The Little Mermaid. 1)
AeternalDreamer
IIRC even the original poster for the movie had a castle tower that looked like a penis.
fistermatic5000
Lion king had "sex" written out in dust. Disney has been sneaking things by for a long time.
fistermatic5000
When thumper starts thumping his leg when he sees that female rabbit. That's gotta be a metaphor for something.

Sure. Why not. It's a kid's movie after all.

Well, son. A Freudian slip is when you say one thing but mean your mother.
Hutchy01
There once lived a man named Oedipus Rex you may have heard about his odd complex, his name appears in Freud's dex cause he loved his mother
PmMeYourFavDinosaur
Well there once lived a man named Oedipus Rex. You may have heard about his odd complex?

Oedipus was a real mother fucker.

So is a lot of porn these days. The content is great, but the context is really off-putting.

In Greek mythology Oedipus unknowingly kills his father, marries his mother and pokes his eyes out when he finds out.
ReginaKasteen
Also, he kills his father because he got cut off in traffic. Oedipus is an Ancient Greek PSA against road rage.
Deadpoolio7
And his mother immediately hung herself.
AIComments
I thought everyone knew this. Did the person who watched it not know who Oedipus was first time around?
lightningirl12
It's technically correct but I love the use of the word "poke" there because it sounds so innocent
Narwhilian
SouthTexasTitan
completely reasonable reaction
TylerWarranty
Right but what is being missed? There wasn't like anything subtle except maybe kids don't know what it is
fistermatic5000
Exactly. Most kids don't know about the play, and therefore don't make the connection.
MarshmalineTheCampfireQueen
I didn't know he did it in ignorance. Thank you for the information!
Guestmod
He was cursed to do it from birth. His parents sent him far away. Years later he kills an old jerk while out and its his dad. Cant deny fate
WizardHarryDresden
Ah
Mordy9
OOH
Sheari
Yeah, Oedipus doesn't willingly or knowingly fuck his mom and when he finds out he did he's like "fucking ew :D" and blinds himself
ColoradoGirrl
But she knew what she was doing which makes it worse.
