"'''Zapp Dingbat'''" is the one hundred and nineteenth episode of ''[[Futurama]]'', the fifth of the [[Season 7|seventh production season]] and the [[Broadcast season 9|ninth broadcast season]]. It originally aired on 11 July 2012<ref name="MSN"/> on [[Comedy Central]]. [[Leela]] is upset when [[Turanga Munda|her mother]] starts dating [[Zapp Brannigan]].<br />
<br />
=== Act I: "Leela, you never told me you had a mother." ===<br />
Leela hosts a 40th anniversary party for her parents. However, during a video montage of their history together, they begin to argue about the direction their lives have taken: [[Turanga Munda|her mother]], an exolinguist, wants to explore the universe now that they are no longer legally constrained to the sewers, while [[Turanga Morris|her father]] fears outer space and wants to surf the great sewer waves of the world. The conflicts lead to them getting a divorce, and Munda moving in with Leela.<br />
<br />
When Leela (along with Fry and Bender) takes her mother out to a bar, they encounter Zapp Branigan in negotiation with shark-like aliens called Carcarons; he botches the negotiations with his poor command of their language, severely insulting them; however, Munda is able to salvage the situation by speaking the language properly. Zapp begins flirting with Munda, and the two begin dating. <br />
<br />
=== Act II: "Sex with Zapp! Sex with Zapp! Sex with Zapp!" ===<br />
Leela strongly disapproves of the relationship, convinced that he is attempting to get to her through her mother, but no one believes her, and Munda thinks that she is just jealous. Zapp then hires Munda as his personal translator so the two can spend more time together and she can explore the universe as she always wanted.<br />
<br />
Meanwhile, Morris is not coping with divorce as well; Leela convinces him to take Fry and Bender on the surfing trip he had always dreamed of, which cheers him up greatly. Although both of her parents are now happy, Leela is still relentless in her attempts to break up her mother and Zapp. Ultimately Munda decides to move out of her daughter's apartment. Leela attempts to prove her theory that Zapp is really interested in her by inviting him over for dinner. She tries to seduce him when he arrives, but he refuses her, insisting that he loves Munda. Munda hears this, Zapp proposes to her, and she accepts.<br />
<br />
=== Act III: "We're under attack and the wedding's off. Kiff, return fire AND the cake." ===<br />
At the last minute, Fry convinces Leela to support her mother's decision and attend the wedding. In the middle of the ceremony, however, the Carcarons arrive to sign a peace treaty, and Zapp and Munda must meet with them. During the meeting, Zapp reveals that he is planning to trick the Carcarons into war; Munda is horrified by this, and calls off the wedding. She also tells the Carcarons of Zapp's plan, causing them to declare war anyway. Moreover, the Nimbus has been disabled, and can only be operated by an auxiliary control panel. Morris appears, determined to win back Munda, and uses his surfing skills to help the ship ride the energy wave attacks of the Carcarons. Once peace is achieved, Zapp remarries Munda and Morris.<br />

'''New New York''' is a major city in the [[United States]] and the primary setting of ''[[Futurama]]''. New New York is the reincarnation of the former [[Old New York|New York City]], remnants of which can still be found underground.<br />
<br />
== History ==<br />
In the year [[3000]], the name of the city of New York City has been changed to '''New New York''', presumably when it was rebuilt after one of [[Earth]]'s periods of [[First Destruction of New York City|alien invasion]]. The city of New New York is built upon the ruins of [[Old New York]]. The city has seen some changes: the subways have been replaced with a [[Tube System|tube transport]] network, and ethnic neighborhoods like China Town and Little Italy have been joined by [[New New York#Little Neptune|Little Neptune]]. But in many ways it has not changed much in 1000 years: locals are still rude, public transportation is over-crowded, and it is a place where many cultures mingle.<br />
<br />
== Geography ==<br />
New New York is located in the Northeastern United States on [[Earth]], approximately halfway between [[Washington D.C.]] and Boston. The location at the Hudson River delta, which feeds into a naturally sheltered harbor and then into the Atlantic Ocean, has helped the city grow in significance as a trading city. Much of the city is built on the three islands of Manhattan, Staten Island, and Long Island, which are built above the [[Old New York]], making land scarce and encouraging a high population density.<br />
The city's land has been changed considerably by human intervention, with substantial land reclamation along the waterfronts.<br />

== Demographics ==<br />
[[File:Heather.png|right|thumb|[[Neptunians]] are among the most notable Alien immigrants.]]<br />
[[File:Tinny Tim.jpg|right|thumb|[[Robots]] are among the poorest in society.]]<br />
New New York is still one of the most diverse cities on earth. Throughout its history, the city has been a major point of entry for human immigrants; the term melting pot was first coined to describe densely populated immigrant neighborhoods. <br />
During the last 1000 years, [[robots]] (among them [[Bending Units]]), [[List of alien species|aliens]] (among them [[Neptunians]] and [[Decapodians]]), and mutants also began to settle down in New New York and live in peaceful coexistence with each other. [[Sewer Mutants|Sewer mutants]] were an exception until 3010. They used to live segregated from the rest of society in New New York Sewers and members of the upper class lobbied government officials to keep the status quo. However, in 3010 [[The Mutants Are Revolting|campaigns of civil resistance]] aimed at achieving equal rights for mutants caused the end of segregation.<br />
<br />
Most of the population of New New York lives in apartments. Only a few can afford real estates. The city's population still has a large income disparity that applies to human beings as well as aliens and robots. However, it can be observed that most of New New York's wealthiest citizens are humans and aliens, while robots are among the poorest and most criminal citizens of the society (see [[Robot Mafia]]) despite, or probably because of, their increased intelligence. Although almost all sewer mutants, except [[Leela]], still live segregated from the rest of the world, and appear dirty, poor, and unhealthy to beings living above [[NNY Sewers|New New York Sewers]], this society consist of a wide range of white collar (doctors, teachers, etc.) and blue collar workers. The upper class, which is approximately 1% or less of society is dominated by humans, but also aliens who are considered royal on their home planets. The main distinguishing features of this class are the ability to own celestial bodies, the immense political influence and very high life expectancy. <br />

== Transportation ==<br />
[[File:Opening Credits.jpg|right|200px|thumb|Tube Transportation and hovercars.]]<br />
Subways, buses, and other forms of public transportation have been replaced by the Tube Transport System. Flying cars or [[Hovercar|Hovercars]] replaced wheeled automobiles as they are faster and are not stuck in traffic congestion on the ground, although most of them seem to follow designated airways.<br />

'''Description''': A user announces where he or she wishes to go, and the tube will activate and route them to their desired destination. It is unknown whether they use pneumatic pressure (as the original tubes did) or something else. Given that a humanoid shape doesn't fill the tube, pneumatic pressure seems unlikely.<br />

== Climate ==<br />
Since the 21st century, New New York's climate has not significantly changed. In the 31st century, most greenhouse gases are caused by [[robots]], but the human population has found ways to deal with [[global warming]]. The city still has a humid subtropical climate. Summers are typically hot and humid and winters are cold, featuring prevailing wind patterns that blow offshore and somewhat minimize the influence of the Atlantic Ocean. ''Technically'' because Amy Wong reversed the earth's rotation in 3010, the wind blows onshore therefore moderating New New York's climate significantly yet a change in climate was never actually mentioned.<br />
<br />
== Environment ==<br />
[[File:Owls.jpg|right|thumb|Owls at the Planet Express entrance.]]<br />
{{see|Pests}}<br />
<br />
[[Pests]] remain a problem in the future. In an effort to fight the rat and pigeon problem, owls were introduced. However, they soon filled the ecological niche becoming the most prevalent pest of New New York. Cockroaches have reached the size of human beings, rats&mdash;although greatly diminished in number&mdash;can be seen in the [[NNY Sewers|New York Sewers]]. Despite the introduction of the owl to New New York, pigeons are still present, albeit with a greatly diminished population.<br />
<br />
Other species have arrived in New New York, among them golden marmosets who, like owls, have been introduced to fight pests, harmless land squids, toilet snails and wall gophers.<br />
<br />
== Architecture ==<br />
The building form most closely associated with New New York City is the skyscraper, whose introduction and widespread adoption saw New York buildings shift from the low-scale European tradition of the 19th century to the vertical rise of business districts in the 20th century to the vertical rise of apartments in the 30th century.<br />
<br />
The late 30th century faced a revival of the Populuxe or Googie style which shape the skyline of New New York in the 31st century. Various devices and architecture are similar to this form of architecture that originated in the mid-20th century. Upswept roofs, curvaceous, geometric shapes, steel and neon, and bold use of glass are some of the most notable characteristics of Populuxe architecture.<br />
<br />
Other buildings are inspired by the Minimalist movement such as [[Central Bureaucracy]]. Objects are reduced to their necessary elements, in this case a cube. Madison Cube Garden is also minimalist while many other buildings are examples of Postmodern architecture which incorporates several styles of architecture.<br />

File:Planet_Express_Exterior_2.jpg|The '''Planet Express headquarters''' leans towards the Populuxe style.<br />
</gallery><br />
<br />
Neoclassical architecture has also returned in the future, as seen with the rebuilt Museum of Natural History and the New New York Public Library, mimicking their original old New York forms. More traditional low-scale neighborhoods akin to the brownstone townhouses of New York's Greenwich Village also appear, one of which apparently belongs to Hermes and his family.<br />
<br />
A handful of historic old New York landmarks seem to have been salvaged and kept for modern usage (instead of them rotting in the sewers), including a retrofitted Brooklyn Bridge designed for hover-cars.<br />
<br />
== Parks ==<br />
[[File:Jurassic kiddie park.jpg|thumb|left|200px|The '''Jurassic Kiddie Park''' can be found in Central Park.]] New New York offers several large recreational areas and attractions open to the public. Although Central Park is not directly shown in the episodes, the Jurassic Kiddie Park reveals that the Central park is still present in the 31st century. Jurassic Kiddie Park, which is aimed at children, offers rides on a living Tyrannosaurus Rex. People are also able to feed the carnivore with pigs for 5&cent;.<br />
<br/><br />
Monument Beach is a man-made beachside park in New New York that boasts a collection of many of the world's greatest monuments, stolen by an evil supervillain who was elected Governor of New New York. Some of the greatest monuments are the Sphinx, the White House (which was apparently rebuilt in Washington, D.C.), the leaning tower of Pisa, the Mo'ai statues, and a slightly altered Mount Rushmore. {{clear}}<br />
