There’s a scene (maybe in this episode) where Spongebob tells Gary not to drop the soap. It took me many years to realize that the writers snuck a prison rape joke into a kids TV show.
That’s absolutely tame compared to the AIDS joke in Rocko’s Modern Life, honestly.
For any unfamiliar: When Rocko’s car gets towed it shows the impound lot as car jail. The car calls Rocko to tell him it’s scared as it’s menaced by a much larger car that calls it “fancy fenders”. After Rocko gets the car back from the impound lot it starts to get sick, and when the car dies the wooden beams in the garage wall spell out “HIV’’.
