The Shrek movies are made for family audiences, and are meant to entertain adults just as much as children. As such, the movies contain a number of adult-oriented jokes meant to fly over kids' heads.

Films

Shrek

• Lord Farquaad is a caricature of Michael Eisner, then CEO of the Walt Disney Company and a subject of DreamWorks' then-CEO Jeffrey Katzenberg's (and the film's) ire. Farquaad's name is a corruption of the slur "fuckwad".
• The movie (more than its sequels) contains a decent amount of profanity compared to other family animated films, with the words "damn", "ass" (as a pun) and "crap" used on several occasions (including in song lyrics). Especially when Shrek says that Fiona's book is pure sh*t but the toilet flushes.
• When the Magic Mirror presents Snow White as a bachelorette to Lord Farquaad, stating "although she lives with seven other men, she's not easy!" The joke is that living with "seven other men" (the Seven Dwarves) would imply that Snow White is promiscuous, but by saying "she's not easy", the Magic Mirror says otherwise.
• According to the Magic Mirror, Fiona enjoys pina coladas, as a reference to "Escape (The Pina Colada Song)". A pina colada is an alcoholic drink made with rum, pineapple and coconut.
• When Shrek sees the size of Farquaad's castle, he asks Donkey "do you think he's compensating for something?" While children in the audience are led to think Shrek is talking about Farquaad's height, the usual meaning of the phrase is in reference to genitalia.
• In "Welcome to Duloc", the Duloc Dolls sing "Please keep off the grass, shine your shoes, wipe your... face!" During the phrase, the front row of dolls rotate to show their butt cracks, implying that they were going to sing the word "ass" (which rhymes with "grass") instead of "face".
• At Fiona's castle, when Dragon captures Donkey and brings him to the treasure room, he says that he doesn't inted to start an intimate relationship too soon, implying that Dragon wante dto have sex with him immediately.
• When rescuing Fiona, Shrek says "I have to save my ass," referring to Donkey. However, the phrase is also a vulgar way of saying "I have to save myself", ostensibly the meaning Fiona took away.
• When looking at a picture of Fiona on the Magic Mirror, Farquaad appears to be sexually aroused; his bedsheet even subtly rises in front of him, implying an erection.
• When Shrek awakes to see that Fiona is cooking some eggs for him and Donkey, Donkey speaks while sleeping. His dialogue hints that he was having sexual dreams. In the Latin Spanish version of the film, during his dreams, he asks his partner to slick his ear and mount on his seat.
• In a similar manner to the Duloc song, Monsieur Hood sings "I like a little spice on a saucy little maid" during his song. His Merry Men then sing "What he's basically saying is he likes to get...", with the implication being "to get laid", meaning to receive sexual favors (which fits with Hood's previous line). However, at the last second, Hood barges in and swaps in the word "paid".
• After Fiona realizes that Shrek has an arrow in his butt, she sends Donkey to search a flower. When Shrek asks why she did so, she answers that is to get rid of Donkey for a time, like if she wanted to have sex with him.
• Donkey comes back from getting the flowers and find Fiona on top of Shrek, making him think they were planning on having sex.
• When Fiona cross the tree bridge as Shrek was holding it down, she slides her hand across his back and he gets a pleased expression, indicating he has an erection.
• When Lord Farquaad announces his plans to marry tomorrow with Fiona, Fiona convinces him to marry that same day (because she wanted to be cured from her curse), to which Farquaad says that they are anxious and that the sooner the better. He was referring to have sex that same night.
• When Donkey gives Shrek his pep talk before Shrek storms the wedding between Fiona and Farquaad, Donkey asks Shrek if he wants to please Fiona, to which he shouts yes, indicating he wants to give her an orgasm during sex.

Shrek 2

• When Prince Charming reaches the highest tower at Fiona's castle, he finds the Big Bad Wolf lying on Fiona's former bed and reading a pornographic magazine called Pork Illustrated, with a female pig on bikini kneeling in the sand of a beach.
• Shrek and Fiona check into a hotel. They shut the door and aren't seen again until morning, no doubt they consummated their marriage during that time.
• When Shrek and Fiona are having their picnic at the beach, Fiona throws away the drumstick she was about to eat and jumps on top of Shrek, wanting to have sex with him on the beach.
• When Shrek and Fiona tell Donkey if he can leave their swamp house because they want some privacy, they were most likely asking Donkey to leave in order to have sex.
• The annoyance Shrek had when Donkey wouldn't leave hinted that he was sexually frustrated.
• During the Fairy Godmother's song, one of the Fairy Godmother's assistants spanks himself, like saying that women will receive that, or in this case, Fiona could receive it from his Prince Charming.
• When King Harold goes to the Poison Apple to speak with Doris about who can get rid of Shrek, Doris' appearance resembles a drag queen when she speaks with male voice.
• When Shrek along Donkey and Puss in Boots enter into the potions room of the Fairy Godmother's Cottage, one of the botles of potions has a label in which is written "Viagra".
• At the farm in which Shrek, Donkey and Puss slept, the three girls present say Shrek that they can be his true loves and that they can do him a massage, with one of them ordering a line for the massage. They presumably wanted to have sex with Shrek following this.
• Still at the farm, when Shrek decides that Fiona can now see him as a human, his pants fell out because them were very big for him now, so Donkey decides that it's time to search new clothes for Shrek, causing the three girls present to put exclamation faces in th face of seeing Shrek naked.
• When Shrek is drinking milk in the Poison Apple with Donkey and Puss, the milk bottle's logo is a bull. Bulls don't give milk, so anyone could think that it was cum.
• When Shrek is being stopped by the knights, the scene plays similar to the famous O. J. Simpson murder case and the adults' TV show Cops.
• When Puss is stopped by the knights, one of the officers subtract catnip from his belt, so Puss says that the catnip wasn't from him, implying that he was taking catnip like marijuana.
• When Donkey recommends Pinocchio to say that he has women underwear and it's discovered that it's true, Gingy reveals that Pinocchio has a pink thong, as a reference to the transvestites' experiences.
• When Shrek turns into a handsome male human, it could be another allusion to Viagra.

Shrek the Third

• When Donkey pull out the bedspread from Shrek, he becomes scared and tells Shrek that he could consider to buy some pajamas, indicating that Shrek was naked, possibly because he had sex with Fiona last night, the reason they didn't appear in the intro.
• At the port, before departing in search of Arthur Pendragon, Puss tells to a cat that she is the lady of his life, but later says the same to other cats, and many others arrive, causing Puss to run away before getting into trouble.
• After Fiona tells Shrek that she is pregnant, Puss says to Shrek that he is now supremely f*cked, by the ship's horn sounds and interrupts Puss.
• At the Poison Apple, when Prince Charming searches for Doris but finds Mabel as the new barwoman of the bar, Mabel's appearance resembles, like her sister Doris, the appearance of a drag queen for his male voice.
• After Shrek awakens from his nightmare and asks himself how it all happened, Puss answers that when a male bee loves a female bee, the male leaves her his little seed, to which Shrek says that he knows how it happened, remembering the instance in which he and Fiona had sex and conceived their child.
• At Worcestershire Academy, while Shrek, Donkey and Puss search Arthur Pendragon, two students exit from a carriage filled of smoke, like implying that they were taking drugs, most likely crack for the smoke's color.
• Still at Worcestershire Academy, when Donkey emerges from the locker in which he was locked by some students, he is seen to carry on his back a sign saying "I Suck-eth", referencing the phrase "I Suck", like saying that Donkey received a felation.
• When Prince Charming starts his attack with his army of villains at Far Far Away, two dwarfs change the letters of a shop that solds "Bootery", making the sign to say "Hooters", like saying that the shop was selling women breasts, reason for which many men enter happy into the shop along the dwarfs.
• At the island, when Artie and Shrek try to convince Merlin to send them to Far Far Away, Shrek tries to say that Merlin's robe doesn't cover his testicles, but Merlin interrupts him with his words.
• When Fiona and the Princesses along with Queen Lillian and Doris try to take the castle back from Prince Charming's clutches, Doris uses her leg to attract two guards before knocking them out. On her leg, it can be visible a pink special sock used by women to look sexy during the sexual act.

Shrek Forever After

• In the flashback sequence, when King Harold and Queen Lillian went to meet Rumpelstiltskin and sign a contract to break Fiona's curse, one of the witches sends a blow kiss to Harold, causing Lillian to close the window of their carriage.

• In the alternate world, when Pinocchio decides to sign a contract with Rumpelstiltskin, he says that it's time to say good bye to the termites and say hello to the acne, referencing the puberty.
• In the alternate world, when Shrek is welcomed to The Ogre Resistance by Brogan, the Ogres put an armor on Shrek's body and then they tap his buttocks before giving him an ax, something that bothers Shrek.
• In the alternate world, when Cookie the Ogre attempts to cook Donkey for dinner, Shrek convinces him to not do so, with Donkey adding that he could enter easily into his mouth, but his exit could be hard.
• In the alternate world, when Shrek tries to convince Fiona on her tent after meeting the fat Puss in Boots that the only way to save Far Far Away is kissing him, Fiona asks him how he found them, so he says that his donkey fell in her waffle hole. This could be seen as a pervy euphemism referencing to the anal sex. Additionally, when Fiona kicks Shrek out of her tent, Shrek asks if Fiona has mistletoe, referencing the tradition to have a man kissing a woman if they found mistletoe.
