“Butter mah biscuits” is shorthand for the longer version.
“Smack mah ass and call me Ethel” is also shortened, to “Smack Ethel”.
Which, of course, results in a Domestic Violence charge.
Barbarella was the first erotic-comic book in Europe in the early 1960s, when that sort of thing wasn’t done, other than in the infamous Tijuana Bibles. It then opened the floodgates to not just more of the same, but to a huge amount of surreal and science fiction comics as well.
When the movie came out in 1968, by the bizarre director Roger Vadim, known for seducing, marrying, and turning actresses, like Jane Fonda, into even more bizarre radicals.
In turn, it really started an entire genre of surreal and science fiction “1970s” movies, where the directors ran wild without studio control. Which the studios copied as well.
Seen in that genre context, they were very influential to future movies. I left off the big names.
