These are jokes that are skipping the kids altogether, and just going straight for the adults. The fact is, these aren’t the kinds of jokes that you’d typically find in movies like Shrek or Kung Fu Panda (though Lord Farquaad is pushing it). Or, what about the infomercial where Myers is playing two separate cat variations, and says that the other one is stupid and that his mom is ugly? In this scene, the cat threatens to kill the other, blond-haired version of himself, and says that he’ll make it look like an accident. When my kids asked, “What? Why’d you get all excited?” I of course shrugged it off and said, “Oh, nothing, nothing,” but I damn well made sure to pay closer attention to the rest of the movie after that. However, when I heard Myers say, “Dirty ho!”, I instantly looked up and exclaimed, “What’d he just say?” The visual didn’t help, either, as I found him in a cat suit petting a garden hoe and getting ready to lick it, all set to some seemingly bow-chicka-wow-wow music. For instance, the first time my kids were watching it, I was kind of paying attention, but also kind of on my phone.
