If you haven’t watched Dinosaurs, it’s streaming on Disney Plus. There’s a episode where the father breaks the 4th wall while watching a sock puppet film with the baby.
The mother said something to the effect of, “I’m not watching it, they look like puppets.”
The father says something to the effect of “The show has a double meaning where the effects are cartoonish, appealing to children, but the dialog is witty and clearly meant for adults.”
Something funny to take away and apply to the entire series, knowing it’s for children, but all the jokes are meant for adults.
The series is so old, only adults recall watching it as children, and now as an adult, I can watch it and get all of the jokes I missed as a child.
