Little dirty joke that will go completely over many heads!

There was also the line "I don't care if you have an audition for Equus! Get over here!" in Reptile Room.
For those that aren't familiar, Equus is a play about a young man with an unhealthy obsession for horses who gouges out their eyes after he tries to screw a girl in the stable and can't maintain an erection. -

To me that wasn't so much a joke as a really creepy threat. I kind of preferred the movie's approach to this plot point, which was to make Olaf entirely fixated on the money and not even seeing the kids as people, much less having sexual interest in them.
Earlier in that same episode, the hook-handed henchman catches Violet. He calls down to Olaf and we don't hear what Olaf says but the henchman replies something like "No, I won't boss. I know she's yours." I mean, gross.
I really liked the "Land ho!" joke and the "little death" joke. I think they're the kind of wordplay that adults can appreciate but that would sail harmlessly over the heads of most kids.
