One of the things I love most about Rocky & Bullwinkle was that so many of their jokes were landed over the head of their juvenile audience, as evidenced by a map that included a body of water named Veronica Lake, or Boris picketing for ‘top billing’ as a member of the Villains, Thieves, and Scoundrels Union (Local 12). Watching the episodes in later life continues to be a delight, as the writers provided a treasure trove of inside jokes, puns, double entendres, and cultural references that you need to be an adult to understand.
