Sexual Innuendos (SPOILERS)

posted 15 years ago by Simbafan

First off, i'd like to say that i really enjoyed this movie! The pace was really good, the story was simple, and yet it was executed really well!

Now don't take this as a complaint. But i couldn't help but notice that there were a LOT more sexual innuendos in this animated film than any other that i had seen (Even Shrek...)

*Spoilers Ahead*
(These aren't in any particular order other than the order i remember them in)

1.) When Buck shoos away the giant butterfly, he comments "I knew him when he was a caterpillar. That was before he came out."

2.) Buck, Crash, and Eddie are walking off while Diego and Manny stay behind to save Ellie from the raptors(?). Diego tells Manny "I've got your back.", to which Buck comments "Your back? All my buddies always covered my front. I thought thats where all the goods are"

3.) Sid goes to retrieve some milk from a yak nearby for his "kids". He reaches under its belly, placing an eggshell underneath it, and grabs onto an unseen object on the yak's underside, to which the yak responds by chasing Sid, who screams "I thought you were a FEMALE!"

4.) When Sid is finally reunited with the group and he sees Peaches for the first time, he cries "Aww! It's a boy!", to which Diego responds, "Thats her tail."

5.) When trapped together in the gut of a man-eating plant, Diego tells Manny, "I feel tingly." Manny replies, "Don't say that when you're pressed up against me!"

I know theres a few more, but having JUST saw it, i can't remember them all. But given the shortness of the film, this seemed like a LOT more than any other film i saw. Like i said, not a complaint though. I laughed at EVERY one of these. Just pointing it out. ^_^

That one too!

I thought all of these "sexual" references were quite funny and they actually contribute to the tone of the movie, which is a bit edgier than your average CG-animated film. And you know, they appeal to the older following Ice Age has. Small kids probably won't get some of these references anyway.

[–] Simbafan 15 years ago

I wasn't saying they were bad or not funny. I clearly said that in my post. Twice i believe. I was just pointing them out for the heck of it.

[–] lest-rj 15 years ago

I never said you did!

[–] Simbafan 15 years ago

sorry...it seemed implied, but i was mistaken. Sorry! ^_^

[–] Tekton007 15 years ago

This was a strange movie indeed, actually a bit of a let down though I still enjoyed it overall.

[–] shaunalexanderrb 15 years ago

ya but all ok nothing to bad unlike land of the lost xD

[–] dhamberg18 15 years ago

I noticed the same thing with this movie that I did when I took my nephew to see Shrek 3. There are certain things everybody laughed at, but there were some things mostly the kids laughed at, and others that only the adults found funny. The sexual innuendo comments would probably go over the head of most kids under 9, while the playground scene was probably funnier for kids than adults.
That's what makes the movie good for all ages, versus just being a good kids movie, but one where adults are rather bored.

[–] insanetheking 15 years ago

Every new kids movie seems to push these jokes further and further. I am not in favor of it as things are getting more and more distasteful. You really have to think twice about these jokes as this movie is rated for kids. Sexual and sexually suggesting jokes shouldn't be a daily output in the media oriented for kids. It's subtle perversity in my opinion.

[–] Slasher_Lover23 15 years ago

I like that they do that. That's how they catch the interest of teens/adults.

I’d have to disagree, and say that Shrek lays on literal innuendoes with a much heavier hand than this film. Granted, Ice Age III isn’t a genius at subtle delivery of the material, but it’s just silly, not overtly sexual like Shrek.

[–] Caribbean_Smurf 15 years ago

Do you live in Saudi Arabia, or Iran or something?

Nothing about this movie is ''perverse''.

[–] borntodie 15 years ago

There was the one bit about the 'big smelly crack' as well, that made me think of vaginas haha..

fun though

[–] atty_lo9001 15 years ago

exactly, so you can stop talking now.. bye!

[–] pulps_suede 15 years ago

Lol. These jokes do seem to be 'perverse'...but i don't think that.
Remember when your a kid, you watch a film and the adults laugh but you don't...its like that. As a kid you don't get the jokes. If they do...then thats down to the parents not the film writers. Its not like Scrat is running around with a banner saying 'SEX RULES'. Lol!
I like that these films use these types of jokes. Watch the movie 'Beethoven', there's a scene where the father charcter uses dirty talk with his wife...which is much worse then mere inuendo. That is a much older film.
Using inuendo is very clever. It appeals to adults. I'm 19 and i found this film so funny, for many reasons.
In the cinema (sp?) we laughed at these jokes and heard nothing from the children...as they did not understand the jokes.

Thanks for listing them OP, gave me a laugh :P

ps-I'm telling anyone off, i'm just giving my views in general.

Wherever, whatever, have a nice day...

[–] jmacsgrl15 15 years ago

yeah im 19 and i was cracking up at some of the jokes but their were a bunch of kids and they werent laughing but i didnt realize it was all kids till i left but i was thinking geez does noone else think this movie is funny?

[–] Boricanator 15 years ago

Pulps, you just gave me a mental picture of scrat doing that and it was hillarious. It would be funny if something like that happens.

[–] pulps_suede 15 years ago

Boricantor. We should write our own script and send it off.Just saying. we could be millionairs :P

Wherever, whatever, have a nice day...

[–] chronarita 15 years ago

Do I need to tell you what ratings are? ;) They show who it's APPROPRIATE FOR, not what AGE GROUP it's for. For instance, a film rated PG-13 is not just for teenagers, but it just warns that it might not be appropriate for kids. Just like a PG rating simply shows that it may not be appropriate for small kids, but that doesn't mean it can't be enjoyed by older people in the audience. This film represents material that can be enjoyed from anyone between kids and adults, and it succeeded.

I disagree. PG films in the 80's and early 90's were much worse.

It was standard to say S H I T in PG films and also show much more innuendo, sexual activity and implied sex scenes.

I was watching ET the other day and Elliot uses "Penis Breath" as a curse word basically saying cock sucker.

[–] lucky-141 15 years ago

That's retarded, there are sex jokes hidden in EVERY cartoon from now down to the first disney features. Some take it farther than others, but what 5 year old would go 'Oh yeah , this is funny because it reffers to this sexual thing'. I've seen a TON of cartoons as a child , I didn't get ANY of the sex jokes they had untill I grew up. You watch the Snow white even and see how many times they call grumpy gay and tell snow white a woman's place is in the kitchen. Yes they're wrong, but they let them slide. The point is if we dumb down good jokes than cartoons become too sterile untill in 2020 we end up watch an hour and a half of the wiggles, dora the explorer , -insert bland unoriginal plot with kids safe characters- movie for entertanment . Cartoons aren't just for kids, they're for everyone. Spongebob has so much appeal to teens, young adults etc , shrek had so many refferences to real life that it made it so much more appealing to adults. And thats how it should be.

This movie is rated "PG" which means "parental guidance" is suggested. It implies that there are bound to be some type of situations that may not be suitable for all viewers. This is the 21st century and more and more adults enjoy watching shows like this and we don't enjoy watching the cutesy cartoons that a "G" rated cartoon would be.

[–] Wiggles2012 15 years ago

Did you mention the fact that Buck is a 'One Eyed Weasel'?

[–] Simbafan 15 years ago

lol, I did think of that one, but that wasn't intentional (at least I would think so...)

[–] tmauer7 15 years ago

When they are flying on the bird and buck is blowing into the birds mouth he says "It taste like fish." As in the bird has been licking a girls ..... you know what.

[–] MollyWobbles6093 15 years ago

Really now? Because I assumed it was simply that the pterodactyl...ate fish. Like, to live.

Seriously. I know some jokes are thrown in there on purpose, it just bothers me when people read too much into others that may not even have been jokes at all.

When Buck shoos away the giant butterfly, he comments "I knew him when he was a caterpillar. That was before he came out."

Ah. The wit. I love it. XD

[–] zwooven 14 years ago

Funny, tho. Buck definitely checks out the pterodactyl when he says "What about you? Ever thought about having kids?"

Sid: "Aw, she's a beautiful girl."

Diego: "Sid, that's her tail."

[–] zamsmash 15 years ago

Now, I'll admit I'm a tend to see the perverted side to things...but I found Happy Feet a little more "edgier". The only part that comes to mind is when the two penguins are sliding/falling over each other and they briefly stop at various sexual positions. I'm just saying, it's common for kids films these days to do this (my school's newspaper had a story on the phenomenon).

Wow, you found my sig!

[–] atty_lo9001 15 years ago

How about the scene when Manny is running and moves a bunch of leaves and Scrat and Scratte are there with a very guilty look on their faces? like they were doing something... you know what!! lol!

[–] azul_amor_yo 15 years ago

can someone explain to me the caterpillar joke ?? i just dont get it xD

^^

and um... about PG movies being more and more lenient on the sexual references.. i also disagree... i remember watching old DISNEY movies with mature material... for example the movie wish upon a star.. and the series ready or not xD those were wayy to mature compare to the PG stuff nowadays .. ^^

[–] gess1001 15 years ago

azul_amor_yo: "to come out" means to admit and announce that one is gay

I'd also add the joke with Diego "bearing down" to the list.

[–] Tudi_Rad 15 years ago

What about when Scrat is sticked to the log and he gets his chest hair ripped down, exposing his nipples! That kinda turned me on.

Seriously though, these were all in a category I'd stamp as "innocent sex jokes". And to be honest, most of them were really fun, I can't think of a reason they should stop sprinkling these movies with innocent sex jokes.

[–] mrmoo2001 15 years ago

Hehehe... he has got nice nipples X3

How many nipples does a squirrel have, anyway?

[–] almighty_cinder 15 years ago

You think jacking off a yak is an 'innocent sex joke'?

................
"Fine. You want to eat? Let's see if you can eat... PIZZA!!!"

[–] tsain-2 15 years ago

I really thought one that was more obvious yet NO ONE has mentioned is when Scrat is on his back with the acorn on his stomach and Scratee walks her fingers up the acorn and then wraps her hand right around the stem of the acorn and Scrat gets this look on his face.

NO ONE else caught that?

[–] Dream_Demon 15 years ago

I did not catch the meaning, but I did catch the look.

Welcome to my Nightmare- Freddy Krueger

[–] Simbafan 15 years ago

I just saw this movie a second time and i kept my eyes open for anything else i missed. That look wasn't a sexual reference. It was a look of fear. He knew what she was going to do, and he was scared of it.

[–] Simbafan 15 years ago

If you think THAT was jacking him off, then you may need to reconsider the meaning of jacking off.

1.) What Sid did was unintentional. He was in the mindset that he was grabbing an udder of sorts to retrieve milk. There was no sexual intention at all.

2.) He grabbed the yak ONCE. That is NOT jacking.

[–] vivalachuck8 15 years ago

the worst one i got that my friends and i laughed really hard at was when buck was flying the bird and it got knocked out...
he started blowing on its lips and goes "tastes like fish"

[–] CpOhUeRnToNiExY-1 15 years ago

This movie had me cracking up and I'm 21! I took my 3 year old son to see this movie today and it seems that Buck has the most "sexual innuendos", especially the "butterfly comment", i was in stiches and my little boy looked at me like "WTF mom?",he had the most puzzled expression on his face. I agree that kid movies with the "hidden meanings" certainly keep my attention! A lot of movies I watched as a kid didn't make any sense until I got way older, but it is all in good fun. I rather watch 100 million more movies like Ice Age, than those damn "Extenze" and "KY Jelly" commericals that come on the TV all day long!

[–] er-guille 15 years ago

Is this a sexual innuendo??, Then probably a cheek to cheek dance should be called pornography!. Get a life!

Friends are the family that we choose

[–] Simbafan 15 years ago

Oh yes, because i see a crack at homosexuality (a joke which most kids 6 and under won't get) which is a different SEXUAL preference and lifestyle as a sexual innuendo, THAT means I have no life...seriously dude, ease up on the insults and use your head. It IS a sexual innuendo. You want proof? You're the ONLY one who disagrees with it. At least two other people have RE-listed this as an innuendo. Majority rules, thats the way it goes buddy.

[–] er-guille 15 years ago

Sorry I have to correct you. I may be the only one in this virtual world that disagrees with that. The only one in a virtual world that I visit once in a while, particularly when having difficulties going to sleep (btw, your posts are great help. Keep them coming). In the real world, you know, the one that is inhabited by palpable people and stuff, almost not a single person that I have talked to about this issue have found this movie remotely close to have sexual innuendos in it. And, as a lot of people (the ones in the real world, mind you), that have discussed this with me (including my students), all agree that even if sexual innuendos are there, there is nothing wong with that. It would be like complaining of the movie having "eating innuendos", or "breathing innuendos", or such. Meaning that it is absolutely correct (in the real world), to actually consider sex as just another component of a healthy normal life, and not something to be kept hidden from developing human beings and then just pop it out of nowhere when they become of age.
