10 Incredibly Filthy Jokes You Won't Believe Are Hidden In Children's Movies

1. "Lord Farquaad" Sounds A Lot Like... Well, You Know - Shrek

Each and every time I sit down to watch Shrek, I find myself shocked to re-discover that the writers successfully managed to include a character called "Lord Farquaad" in the movie. If for some reason you're a bit confused as to what is being implied here, let me enlighten you: "Farquaad" sounds an awful lot like "f*ckwad."

At least, it does according to the scriptwriters, who - according to many sources - purposely assigned this name to the character in an attempt to sneak a really bad word into a children's movie. And they sort of got away with it, didn't they? As the villain of the movie (voiced by funny man John Lithgow), Lord Farquaad's name is required to be said a lot, of course, and it's never not funny to hear it being uttered.

Still, I'm surprised that nobody over at Dreamworks H.Q. asked the director to change the name of the character for peace of mind's sake. Apparently nobody picked up on the similarities, though, and now it's too late. The best way to hear the hidden word in this surname is to say it in a Scottish accent, apparently. Which is what Shrek has to do for the sum of the movie, of course. How... convenient.
