I am genuinely confused now.
I took the comic to mean "these male caterpillars see a female-presenting butterfly and wanted to be butterflies so they could look like a curvy butterfly-babe"
Rather than "these male caterpillars want to be male butterflies to butter-bang"
I am unsure why someone down voted, I am just confused how my comment is "innocence"

This one. Sorry for the confusion.
The thing I like about that one, and other references like that in comedy shows (especially animated) is that often you don't need the pop culture reference, it fits with the zany comical nature of the show. It's not outside the norm, or at least not far.
And with the comic above, I didn't NEED to hear/know the song to get the joke. I didn't think it was "you'll find your drill on blueberry hill" but I figured it was something about a song and something that rhymed with "hill".
It was easy to search, too.
My wife has been watching some of the shows I loved growing up, and she's only 2 years younger than me, but because she watched modern kid shows as a kid and I watched old stuff with my parents, I get a lot of references she doesn't.
As long as you can show it to someone without the pop culture knowledge and they still find it funny, it's still a successful joke.
I am fully aware and believe there are people who can no longer exist/function in society today, and they absolutely should be reassesed with massive amounts of therapy and everything to try and reintegrate them, but not released after some arbitrary deadline.
I was simply pointing out a straw man when I saw it.
Why exclude “somewhat positive”?
Because they're making their argument in bad faith, or they stopped after getting the part they wanted and didn't bother looking any further.
Yes, it is.
That's also not really relevant to my comment.
I took this as "they want to look like her" rather than "they want to be butterflies to hook up with her".
As I like to say when movie makes a modern day celebrity or TV reference, "hahaaaaaa that's a pop culture reference that will definitely stand the test of time."
Still funny, though.
Don't even get me started on the cultures that figured out a equivalent of indoor plumbing...
And then some douche bag stomps in, bulldozing everything in the way, calling the people who dont toss shit in the same street they live on and will be walking in soon.... "savages"
Lmao get bent
the sea calms my soul
As long as you don't look under the surface.
Oceans be scary. (but still great, that's why I joined the navy once)
And throw it around to the side, not over the shoulder.
Up-and-over can drip all kinds of flaming liquid over you should the container not be sealed properly.
Out-and-around/sidearm flings it to the side.
Make sure you have the clearance to the side and nobody is in the literal line of fire, and you're good to lob your cocktail at the spot you intend to hit.
