apparently there's a really old "common knowledge" joke that goes "what happens to a toad when it gets struck by lightning? it croaks"

so that line when storm said "the same thing that happens to everything else" is storm subverting the joke

makes a lot more sense and is actually passable now

but like...i don't think that was a real common joke lol

Even "it croaks" is a horrible punch line. Not funny.

"croak" is the onomatopoeic sound toad's normally make, but it's a double meaning because "croak" can also mean "to die"

Yeah, same. It is a cute joke, though. I like it. Worthy of any popsicle stick, church bulletin or 'Highlights' magazine.
