    I’m going for the extremely weird angle, not a particular love angle as I found the show a bit lame as a kid:

    The Dutch cartoon Purno de Purno: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4o6MIJ7Iq1U

    It was animated on an amiga 2000. The titular character ‘Purno’ in his purple spandex suit has a couple of adventures that are very weird. In the linged cartoon he’s searching for a princess hidden in ‘de kiettelaars’ grotto’ where you must know that ‘kietelaar’ is a Dutch word that can mean ‘the one who tickles’ or ‘the clitoris’. In this comic it is a weird looking guy that talks with an creole accent and is tickling Purno and himself in a rather well… sexual manner. The ‘grotto’ or cave is a bit vulva-looking. He is rewarded byy the princess with many kisses. Purno reflects ‘even though her beauty was stolen, shes a really good kisser’

    This is no coincidence, there is plenty of overt sexual overtones, with Purno once entering the vagina of a giant naked lady.

    To be fair, non of those sexual references register when watching it as a kid, but when you reflect on it later in life it is utterly bizarre that that was aired on regular televison in a kids’ show.
