Editing User:Doc von Schmeltwick/List of adult jokes in the Banjo-Kazooie series

[[Rare, Ltd.|Rare]] is known for the amount of crude humor hidden in their games, some of which, if more blatant, would have affected the age ratings, as deliberately demonstrated in their game ''{{wp|Conker's Bad Fur Day}}''. The ''[[Banjo-Kazooie (series)|Banjo-Kazooie]]'' games are no exception to this, and are in fact one of the best-known examples. Many of them involve uses of primarily-British slang words that American censors would not recognize, or uses of randomly-chosen pieces of dialog that might not show up when censors were checking the game. There are even cases where people mistake innocuous things in their games for dirty things, notably the [[Flower Urn]]s' throaty "Thank you" being commonly misheard as "Fuck you," including during development.

==''Banjo-Kazooie''==
*[[Mumbo Jumbo]]'s "Oomenacka!" chant is actually a sped-up clip of the phrase "Ooh, me knacker!" "Knacker" is a British slang for testicle.
*Some of the randomly-chosen facts about [[Gruntilda]] contain adult jokes, such as her party trick being "a scary striptease" and her dog's name being "Bigknacka."
*Upon meeting [[Trunker]], [[Kazooie]] remarks "Nice nuts!" to which [[Banjo]] is annoyed.
*[[Tanktup]]'s name is a play on the phrase "tanked up," which means to be drunk.
*The [[Bikini Girl]]'s melons are deliberate intended to invoke giant breasts.

==''Banjo-Tooie''==
*[[Chief Bloatazin]] nearly swears upon hearing the [[Unga Bunga Tribe]] is responsible for the missing "Sacred Priceless Relic Thingy," only for Kazooie to stop him.
*Several of [[Honey B.]]'s mannerisms are rather suggestive, such as her offer to give Banjo "[[Extra Honeycomb Piece|an extension]]" and calling him "Big Bear," and to gian the health extension, Banjo throws the Extra Honeycomb Pieces into her groin area.
*A running gag with [[Canary Mary]] is that the treasures she has are in undesirable areas on her person, which eventually Kazooie interrupts her mentioning of in order to not hear.
*[[Mr. Patch]]'s nozzle is located between the legs, looking somewhat like a penis. This is not the case in ''[[Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts]]'', where due to a complaint from a censor who noticed, it was moved to his lower torso to resemble an outie navel.
*[[Lord Woo Fak Fak]]'s name is deliberately intended to sound like "Fuck Fuck."
*[[Jolly Roger]] has a number of jokes hinting that he may be homosexual (a subject considered taboo in childrens' media at the time for the most part), one of which involves one of his favorite songs being the "Salty Seamen Shanty." A tanker in the background is for Ginger Beer (which Kazooie asks for upon meeting him), Cockney rhyming slang for "queer." It is also hinted that his "partner," [[Merry Maggie Malpass]], may be a cross-dresser.
**Also related to Jolly, an incorrect answer regarding the menu to [[Jolly's|his bar]] refers to a dish called "Cabin Boy's Sausage."
*The path in front [[Mumbo's Skull]] in [[Terrydactyland]] as seen from above looks extremely phallic, and when the platforms are raised, it looks as though it is ejaculating.

==''Banjo-Kazooie: Grunty's Revenge''==
*The name of [[Momma Clucker]] sounds similar to the phrase "Mother Fucker."

==''Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts''==
*Mumbo's coconut farm in [[Nutty Acres]] is given the somewhat-suggestive name of "Mumbo's Nuts."
