Surprising number of pedophile jokes

The whole changing room scene where Chester buys a dress for Matthew and the scene where Chester gets thrown out of the saloon.

There is no "off" position on the genius switch.

When this movie came out, I was 9 years old and did not fully get the joke. I knew that it was supposed to look like something not right was going on, but obvioulsy did not FULLY understand it...watching it now, at 28 years old, I am kinda shocked at how dirty the joke actually is.
"Ouch!"
"If it's too tight, you'll get used to it!"

YIKES. Dirty, dirty... no wonder the woman faints when Rodney goes up to her and talks to the little girl afterwrds. LOL. Gross.

I'm 36 and one thing I loved about the movies from the 80s is that they were more bold. Nobody worried about political correctness.

Yes true, very suggestive. But if you remember the scene well, they made it a special point to show that the shoes in the changing room were FACING each other, one set of shoes was an adult man, and the other, was an adolescent GIRL.

I guess it's more palatable that way, if you don't think it was Chester (nice strategic name btw) with a little boy turned around backwards, ala the Penn State football coach.

Exactly. When Martha/Matthew comes out, the mother freaks out because she thinks it was a girl being raped. Martha/Matthew runs away because the mother is a teacher from his school and he thinks she recognizes him.

It's also utterly HILARIOUS!! Call me a sicko but I probably took 5 years off my life from laughing so hard; it's always been by far the funniest scene in the movie, to me at least. It's also funny how at first the old lady is seemingly turned on, then she's like whoa. Lol.
