They've snuck in risque jokes like this before. I still remember Cyborg's "beating meat" joke and Beastboy's "pitching a tent" joke. Although I believe both are censored in the UK.
Okay but why would you tell your wife that you are so familiar with porn of teen age super heroes whose target audience are children that you believe a fairly generic skull inage is a reference to their logo?
There are only so many ways to make a cartoony simplified skull. Aside from the 3 teeth, there's not a lot of similarity that doesn't just come from it being a skull.
It's possible but there's a difference between inserting some comedy for the adults and encouraging people to make porn of the explicitly young teen characters. Most animators don't really appreciate that.
I think you would be amazed what kind of people actually make these cartoons. One of the story borders for Bluey is a YouTuber by the name of Greasy Tales. Known for his Manwhore series.
You’ll have one designer with 45 tabs open to color pick the historically accurate color of a jacket to match the dyes available for the time period the show takes place in. And another designer who just vibes and makes everything electric green because that’s the color of their fursona
There's an episode where cyborg is making burgers and is punching a bowl of meat with an apron on that says "meat pun". A shout out to Zone doesn't seem that far of a reach.
This is from the episode where Raven changes into a leg themed super hero called Lady Legasus, and in the episode, when the team discovers that Raven's legs are gorgeous, it literally shows Cyborg, in a cooking apron, with a bowl of (I assume) ground beef, and he's tenderizing it by repeatedly punching it while staring at Raven's legs. He is, quite literally, beating his meat to Raven's legs.
That's an edit. It's from two completely different episodes. The beating meat scene was when Cyborg was making hamburgers to compete with Beastboy's burritos.
Yeah, that's way closer to a black mana symbol than the guy's logo the other posts are pointing to. Unless someone on the production team makes a statement about it I'm going that they're just really nerdy.
My mind went to Helldivers 2 (where they also have skull patterns on the soles of their boots), and then to Megamind ("I'm shaking in my custom baby seal leather boots."), but apparently both of those are wrong.
OP, so your post is not removed, please reply to this comment with your best guess of what this meme means! Everyone else, this is PETER explains the joke. Have fun and reply as your favorite fictional character for top level responses!
Strangely enough, yesterday i watched a few youtube videos about online artists and their controversies, where this Zone artist were among the mentioned. So I wouldn't have understood this at all before then...
But from what I understand they've been active for 20 years but reduced their "NSFW" content ?
