Either way, Stan didn't do himself any favors with his ham-fisted segue to the diagram: "But we pause for a moment now, to bring all of you ant-lovers a special diagram which will better acquaint you with the intricacies of an average ant city."

Actually I think that reads as exquisitely sarcastic, as if Stan is scathingly taking Burgos to task for inserting the diagram into the middle of the action. The kids will read the caption as sincere, while adults can choose to hear a dripping frustrated scorn.
