No One Ever Suspects The Butterfly (The Simpsons)

From season 6 episode 22: Round' Springfield

[@PatricksCrazyPlace]

I love how Bart assumes he will die before Skinner

[@MarcusDandridgeDee_Kae]

Considering how many people hate him it makes sense

[@diehardrvdfan22]

Skinner and literally everyone else.

[@thybloodyromance]

quite relatable

[@kisbie]

I love that he would still consider the school his enemy even as a butterfly. 😆 Brilliant kid logic.

[@VA_Nightshade]

@@MarcusDandridgeDee_Kae That often changes from week to week. Like homer's list of enemies

[@OriginMSD]

Bart's plans are this weird combination of clever and stupid and I love it.

[@M.Bison94]

[@eevee_mon]

Yeah if bart went through with that plan in the real world it would be immediately foiled by kirby fans

[@doinkaesthetics]

Ah, I see you are a person of culture as well. And yes, always suspect the butterfly.

[@enlongjones2394]

I mean, Kirby fans didn’t. Not until star allies.

[@chrisrj9871]

I blame the yarn.

[@spongeintheshoe]

@@enlongjones2394Yeah, I can assure you that Kirby fans did _not_ suspect that.

[@WolfWalrus]

I know it's silly but I do like how Bart sees his sister sad and wants to try and cheer her up

[@littlesongbird1]

Spoiler: in the end he does. He gets a check for eating the sharp piece in the cereal and buys the only copy of Sax on the Beach to give to Lisa.

If you're walking around saying things like no one suspects the butterfly, it's a little socially weird. Besides most kids today are newer generation kids that simply never got into the older Simpsons. Reference fartnite and you'll have all the friends, not good quality friends but friends nonetheless

[@mebkur5973]

[@wchan39]

What makes it worse is when you say it's a Simpsons reference, their response is, "The what now?"

[@Puss1man]

That's when you learn to live alone, truly alone, and practice not leaving comments on youtube videos

Everyone loves butterflies because of their wings. But take away the wings and butterflies are horrifically hideous monster creatures.

[@a_donut]

It is true that nobody ever suspects the butterfly. People have been letting their guard down with them for FAR too long.

[@ZenoDovahkiin]

They have been suspected of being disguised witches stealing your milk or butter, actually. Though in English that's probably not why they are called that.

Well if I recall he did advise Homer to "live fast, die young, and leave a big fat corpse" so it stands to reason he's following that same advice.

[@Igarappappa]

Reminds me of my dad. I asked him what animal he'd wanna come back as if he had a choice and he's usually not good with hypotheticals but he was pretty quick to say a bird of some kind cause he always wanted to be able to fly.

Forget the newer episodes of The Simpsons, this probably one of the best Simpsons moments of all time and the older episodes of The Simpsons like from the 1990s and middle of the 2000s are always timeless classics.

This is kinda the story of the first part of Bleach. Aizen agrees with Bart on this.

[@RS14988]

What I find kind of disturbing is that looking at the future dream sequence, Bart believes he'll be reincarnated as a caterpillar and then become a butterfly in the not too distant future with Principal Skinner and the police looking no older than they are in his current lifetime. Of course if Sideshow Bob ever gets his way...
