10 Ridiculous Adult Jokes Hidden In Video Games

2. The Innuendo-Tastic Working Titles (Ratchet & Clank)

Yes, we're cheating a little: the "adult joke" here isn't included in the actual game, but rather, it's to do with the way that the entries in the Ratchet & Clank series are titled.

The cartoony action-platformer franchise has been around since the start of the century, with the first game in the series spawning a legacy that still endures to this day. And hilariously, almost every subsequent sequel has carried a title that can be looked at as a very clear sexual innuendo.

Things like Up Your Arsenal, Going Commando, Tools Of Destruction, Quest For Booty, Full Frontal Assault - and best of all, PSP spinoff Size Matters - have been slapped across the series' packaging over the years, but something that's a lot more unknown is that developer Insomniac also comes up with alternate titles for its Ratchet & Clank games, and these are just as cheeky as the ones they eventually go with.

For instance, Ratchet & Clank: All 4 One had several working titles, including Multiple Organisms, Bros b4 Foes, and Fiends With Benefits, while Ratchet & Clank: Into The Nexus was almost called Into The Nether Regions instead.

A Crack In Time, meanwhile, was reportedly called "Clock Blockers" during development. Give us a remastered version with that on the box, pretty please!

Danny has been with WhatCulture for over ten years, and is currently Doctor Who Editor and WhoCulture Channel Manager, overseeing all of WhatCulture's Whoniverse coverage. In 2022, he took charge of WhoCulture and has grown it into the biggest Doctor Who channel on YouTube, and one of the biggest Doctor Who communities on the web full-stop. He has been writing and video editing since his early teens, and first got a taste for content creation after making his own Doctor Who trailers, off the back of a burning obsession with the Matt Smith era of the show. Like many his age, he first got into Doctor Who with the 2005 revival, but has since gone back and fallen in love with the classic years too. If you need someone to recite every Doctor Who episode in order, or to give you a random factoid about the making of Gridlock, Danny is the person to ask!
