Anglo-Saxon Humor in Children's Shows
Although I enjoy Anglo-Saxon humor and its use of double entendres, it is strange to see its use in children's shows. As a child, I never understood the jokes and puns that the adults around thought were funny. I liked when physical comedy happened, but my parents enjoyed the verbal wit of the programs that we watched together. Now that I am older and watch some of my old favorite television shows, I understand the verbal wit. However, it is strange to think that these adult roles and ideas are stuck in children's shows, who don't realize it until they are old. I think this is something that the Anglo-Saxons might also find humorous.

This made me laugh! Now that we are old enough to understand the jokes, even as simple as they are, we are able to laugh and even be a bit aghast that they were in kid's programs. So, does this mean that crude humor in any kid's movie falls under Anglo-Saxon humor?
