This is how the creators literally show you that the whole show is about found family and not just shipping.
It IS such a shame that people (me included kind of) only care about the Trio Calamity as a romantic ship and completely ignore the frog family
When i watched this 5 years ago i thought it was ridiculous that people would just suddenly get so violent about others changing in such an arbitrary way that they didnt even mind before
Red’s anger here was 100% justified btw
They were being complete passive aggressive dicks to him after he literally almost died trying to get this cake delivered
"Yeah my dad isn't cool"
"Who's your dad?"
"Oh his names Red he-"
"OH MY GOD! YOUR DADS the RED?!"
"DUDE RED SAVED MY LIFE WHEN I WAS AN EGG!"
"HE SAVED EVERY EGG FROM BEING EATEN BY PIGS!"
