33 Great Jokes Hidden in Movies and TV That Went Over Our Dumb Heads

Everyone loves a comedy and all the comical misunderstandings and witty one liners it brings with it. But what about the bonus jokes that are hidden just beneath the surface? The subtextual little goof ‘em ups that you didn’t notice right away, but now kind of can’t believe that you ever missed.

For that very reason, we’ve taken our comedy metal detector over the beaches of some our favorite movies and TV shows, and found some of the best jokes that were hidden in plain sight the whole time. Maybe it’s a background visual gag, something in another language or a dirty joke tucked away in something meant for children. Whatever it was, it definitely made us laugh.
