Hopper has a blinded eye, apparently from being damaged by a bird (though we don't see this, there is a reference to it). To frighten Hopper, many bugs put red jam on their eyes to make it seem like the bird gouged them out (and in a bloopers scene, Slim mentions it getting in his eye and stinging).

No characters say “I’ll kill myself.” However, the queen ant, voiced by Phyllis Diller, has a line where she says “Why didn’t I think of that? Oh, because it’s suicide.”

A few people have interpreted the role of the grasshoppers and particularly their speech as representing the “new world order” conspiracy theory but it’s not likely or explicit.

All the fat characters are dumb. One of them literally named dim. One constantly eats and jiggles, and you might be like "oh it's a caterpillar that's what he's supposed to do" but then at the end he doesn't turn into a butterfly it's just him being fat with tiny wings, it's all completely intentional. They get stuck in places. People are disgusted by the fat grasshopper.

Debatable. Two characters are implied to be in a relationship - one of them sounds like an old man (which is confirmed by a fly calling him an “old hag”), and the other sounds like a young woman.

Not explicitly, however there are no humans in the film suggesting some to theorize that it takes place after a nuclear holocaust. There is no evidence for this in the film however.
