The main ones I can list are Looney Tunes on Sesame Street and Sailor Moon on MLP (all 10 characters), and Mario on both. And although I despise it with a BURNING passion and it's my #1 most hated show, Bluey had Vinesauce, a group of Youtubers who I watched since I got into Tomodachi Life when I was 9-10. What's with these, as TV Tropes calls it, Parental Bonuses, mature reference* or not?


(*Fifty Shades of Oatmeal was pretty wild and I'm surprised it was approved)

Parents and sitters often watch these sorts of shows with their toddlers, so there's jokes for that part of the audience too.
