The Committee: Butterfly Enclosure is the second episode of the second season of Funny or Die Original Sketches. Starring Simon Helberg and Rich Sommer, the episode follows two scientists who are presenting their findings to a committee regarding a revolutionary butterfly exhibit they have created.
As the scientists begin their presentation, they reveal that their butterfly enclosure is unlike any other in the world. The butterflies inside the enclosure have been genetically modified to have unique colors and patterns, making them even more beautiful than their natural counterparts. The scientists assure the committee that the butterflies are still able to survive and reproduce in their modified state.
However, the committee members are skeptical. They question the morality of altering the genes of living creatures for the sake of aesthetics and express concerns about the potential harm to the ecosystem if such modified creatures were to escape.
Throughout the episode, the scientists attempt to convince the committee that their exhibit is both safe and worthwhile. In doing so, they become increasingly desperate and resort to extreme measures, including putting on a musical performance and enlisting the help of a surprise celebrity guest.
The Committee: Butterfly Enclosure is a hilarious and satirical take on the ethical questions raised by genetic modification. With the comedic talents of Helberg and Sommer, viewers are sure to be entertained and left pondering the ramifications of such scientific advancements.
