 | albert oh well, la di da Member since Aug 2013 1346 Points | I was watching a clip from a movie, Wonder Bar, a Parisian nightclub as envisaged by Hollywood. The clip has a male patron and a lady and he passes her a note with a cheesy pickup line and she responds by slipping her dress strap off her shoulder. OK, it is some kind of code, the meaning of which we can all probably guess, but it struck me as pretty odd and was wondering what else people have seen in movies that have hidden meanings, bizarre or otherwise, particularly anything that might be lost on a modern audience? |

| albert oh well, la di da Member since Aug 2013 1346 Points | I've just remembered a Mae West quote: "Why don't you come up sometime and see me?" sounds pretty innocuous ...but considered risqué at the time. But this is Mae West, queen of innuendo, so was she saying "see me" or "C__ me", whichever it is I am still none the wiser to the wisecrack. |

 | Railmaster London Member since Feb 2019 68 Points | Albert, the syntax is almost Yodaish from how the invitation to a friend might normally be expressed. I am useless at finding memos to other films or events in movies (though the shrek animations I think I found a few where Disney or similar character traits or animation sequencies had a nod to. |

 | zabadak Caddacack oh da ca-caddacack, shy shy skagellack Member since Jun 2010 4168 Points | Apparently, there was a film in the 50s, starring Montgomery Clift, which was full of homosexual innuendo but which got past the censors, due to their lack of knowledge/intelligence ...  |

Yes, these kids animations are full of innuendo and gags which would go over the youngsters heads but are put in there so that the adults have fun spotting them. In Toy Story the scene where Buzz introduces himself and the other toys gather to listen and to mock, the Mr Potatohead character has repositioned his mouthpart to indicate that Buzz is 'talking out of his bum', but you got to be quick to see it. |
