I love how perfectly you described that. Yes, I was a kid, but I was in on the joke. The cool grownups were giving me a knowing wink as they made fun of, well, everything.
If I knew of something like that today, I’d leave it laying around for my kids to find.
My son watches The Simpsons and I put that in the same boat.
It wasn't when I was a kid and watching it fresh, because everyone watched it, but I've asked my son if any of his friends watch it and apparently it doesn't register at all with kids today.
I'm sure he only got into it because I must have put it on at one point or he stumbled into it on Disney+
