Warner Bros. was notorius for slipping all kinds of adult material past the censors, in this Roadrunner cartoon Chuck Jones used a fake latin genus classification (Hardheadipus Oedipus) to call Wile E. Coyote a "Hard Headed Motherf**ker".
Oedipus was a mythical Greek King who was adopted & unwittingly fulfilled a prophecy by killing his biological father, King Laius & later marrying his biological mother, Jocasta, who bore him 4 children. He gouged out his own eyes once he knew the truth
I still think Porky Pig's "You thought I was gonna say Son-of-a-bitch didn't ya?" private short that they never intended anyone outside the studio from ever seeing is the funniest one. Glad they never gave a thought about political correctness back then.... Disney was just as good at that too, especially in the Donald Duck cartoons.
@SierraThunder Well spoken, I was trying to figure out how Oedipus figured into describing the coyote, and that pretty much nails it. Proves not only children enjoy these!
Mabye because this was made in the 90's

@SierraThunder I was wondering why they used "oedipus" in the name. That's just as hilarious as it is ingenious!

Getting crap past the radar. Beautiful tactic. Makes shows much better without making those irredeemably stupid moral guardians go BERSERK.
