'''[[Sweden]]''' is still an [[Earth|Earthican]] country in the [[31st century]]. We did not see it until ''[[Bender's Big Score]]'', but three mentions had already been made to it before the film was released. After it being referred to during the [[original run]] ([[A Leela of Her Own|3ACV16]], [[Less than Hero|4ACV04]], [[Bend Her|4ACV13]]), [[Bender Bending Rodríguez|Bender]] went back in time to [[2308]] and stole the {{w|Nobel Peace Prize}} from the [[Sweedledome]], only to be attacked by Swedish spaceships ([[Bender's Big Score|BBS]]).

The '''Eiffel Tower''' is a famous [[France|French]] monument built in [[1879]] in [[Paris]], [[Earth]], and one of the rare buildings to not have been destroyed various times over the years. Numerous people celebrated New Year's Eve of both [[1999]] and [[2999]] around it {{et|1ACV01}}.<br />
<br />
== Changes ==<br />
The Eiffel Tower seems to have suffered several changes since the beginning of the [[31st century]]. When the [[Planet Express crew]] went to [[Paris]] while looking for [[Project Satan]], it was stationary {{et|2ACV18}}. However, when [[Pazuzu]] was telling [[Pazuzu's son|his son]] the story of his freedom in [[3003]], it was hovering {{et|4ACV09}}. The Tower was also moved from its usual location in [[3010]], when the [[Thubanians]] [[Thubanian Invasion of Earth|invaded Earth]], and was replaced by the [[Big Ben]], which itself was replaced by the [[Statue of Liberty]] {{et|6ACV08}}. Additionally, it looked different then than during its other appearances.<br />

<div>are you sure this is real? isn't it just [[Futurama: The Collected Epics]]? the link doesn't even work anymore! i'm suggesting a deletion until there is more info on this. --[[User:Scruffy|I&#39;m Scruffy... the Janitor.]] 06:06, 19 October 2009 (UTC)<br />
:Quite probably isn't. We made the article because of what was probably Amazon mistaking broadcast seasons for production/DVD seasons. Although in one of the movie commentaries one of those present wondered aloud if people would buy a episode boxset. - [[User:Quolnok|Quolnok]] 11:08, 19 October 2009 (UTC)<br />
::I'd agree that this volume seems less and less likely, but I am not going to rule it out just yet. Maybe the article should reflect its speculative nature. --[[User:Svip|Svip]] 12:32, 19 October 2009 (UTC)<br />

ok, i'm fairly sure it's safe to assume that this doesn't exist and has been replaced by [[Futurama: The Collected Epics]]. the link doesn't even work anymore! ideas? --[[User:Scruffy|I&#39;m Scruffy... the Janitor.]] 23:12, 7 April 2010 (CEST)<br />
:I am still in doubt. It was originally Quolnok's decision to let it be created so I think he should have some say in this at the very least. --'''[[User:Svip|Svip]]'''<sup>[[User talk:Svip|talk]]</sup> 23:45, 7 April 2010 (CEST)<br />

:::::::LOL. So you have a great nick! I like to think that my nick has multiple meanings: ''San'' is a Japanese honourific and an abbreviation I commonly use for one of my names, ''Santos''. ''Saber'' is something we all know quite well, but it also means ''knowledge'' in Portuguese. (I don't claim to ''know'' stuff, but still.)

== Region locked BD ==<br />
<br />
To my knowledge, the BD release is region locked, i.e. not playable in Europe, contrary to what's stated on the page. [[Special:Contributions/87.63.228.190|87.63.228.190]] 11:07, 31 December 2010 (CET)<br />
:I will not edit it as I don't own the BD and I have never played a BD in my life and thus know nothing on the subject, but if you are sure to change this, you are welcome to edit it. [[User:Aki|Aki]] 15:26, 31 December 2010 (CET)<br />
:When I bought mine from Amazon, I received a message saying there was a chance I wouldn't be able to play it here. I'm not sure of what to write, though, so I won't edit it either. But I do know you're right~about this. Go ahead.

<br />
The '''Robo-Hungarian Empire''' or '''Robo-Hungary''', ruled by the profligate [[Emperor Nikolai]] {{et|6ACV10}}, is presumably located in Eastern [[Europe]], [[Earth]]. It is a member of the [[United Nations]], and its capital city is [[Thermostadt]] {{et|2ACV18}}.<br />
<br />
== Citizens ==<br />
The [[Robot]] citizens of the Empire seem superstitious and peasant-like, similar to the Transylvanians in the 1931 film ''{{w|Dracula (1931 film)|Dracula}}'' {{et|2ACV18}}. As {{w|Glossary of 'carny' slang|carnies}} are the nation's chief export, some citizens have emigrated to [[New New York]] and work for [[Circus Roboticus]] {{et|6ACV10}}.<br />
<br />
== Emperor ==<br />
{{main|Emperor Nikolai}}<br />
The Emperor of Robo-Hungary is the spendthrift playboy [[Emperor Nikolai]], who is beloved by his people, who gladly risk their life for him and their Empire. He was long engaged to [[Princess Flavia]], and had his cousin [[Basil]] as the head of his personal Guard, until [[3010]], when an affair between the two was revealed, and Basil tried assassinating the Emperor. The assassination failed, however, and Basil was instead killed, thanks to [[Professor Hubert J. Farnsworth|Professor Farnsworth]] and the Robo-Hungarian [[Robot Clowns]] from [[Circus Roboticus]] {{et|6ACV10}}.<br />
<br />
== Additional Info ==<br />
=== Trivia ===<br />
*The name, inhabitants and landscapes seem patterned after the {{w|Austria-Hungary|Austro-Hungarian Empire}}, as well as many stereotypes of Eastern Europe.<br />
*The ending ''stadt'' means ''city'' in [[German]]. Thermostadt is similar to names of places in Hungary, Romania, and Austria, when said in German. An example of these is {{w|Hermannstadt}}. <br />

<div>I wouldn't comment on this guy being an alien mutant. If you are going to assume he isn't human, why couldn't he be a regular alien that looks like that? In which case, he's not a mutant. Secondly, there really is no reason to assume he isn't a human mutant. There have been other mutants who don't look human. I believe I recall an octopus-like creature who claimed to be a former blonde girl named Virgina (Leela's Homeworld, IIRC). &mdash;'''[[User:JediRogue|Jedi<font color=red>&hearts;</font>Rogue]]''' 18:40, 30 December 2010 (CET)<br />
:He has to be a mutant, otherwise there wouldn't be a reason for him to be in the sewers. The question is whether he is a mutated human or a mutated alien, isn't it? Well, then, I guess we shouldn't have an answer to that in the page, as there's no info in [[6ACV12]] regarding his species, and assume nothing. Maybe removing the first sentence of the ''Character description'' section? (You're right about [[Virginia]].) [[User:San Saber|San Saber]] 01:33, 31 December 2010 (CET)<br />

'''Amy Wong''', '''Ph.D.''', is a human from [[Mars]] who is of Chinese descent, sole heir to half the planet, and a Doctor of Applied Physics. She is a primary character and is known as a klutz and socialite.<br />
<br />
== Personality ==<br />
<br />
Amy is friendly and easily gets along with others but she is also a bit of a klutz. She has attracted a fair few men in her time, most notably [[Kif Kroker]] whom she marries. However Amy also appears to have some level of vanity and is concerned about her appearance. She is engaged in a constant low-intensity feud with [[Turanga Leela]], the only other female at Planet Express, and often accuses her of not being ladylike enough to be a true woman. However they are friends nevertheless. As shown in {{e|6ACV08}} Amy is an extremely intelligent young woman.<br />
<br />
== Biography ==<br />
[[File:Amy - Junior Champion.png|right|thumb|Mini-golf junior champion]]<br />
<br />
=== Early Life ===<br />
Amy Wong was raised by her parents, [[Leo and Inez Wong|Leo and Inez]], on [[Wong Ranch]], a buggalo farm that covers the entire western hemisphere of Mars. During her teenage years she had a weight problem, but enjoyed the perks that come from having rich parents such as having multiple ponies and a pet [[Betsy|buggalo]]. In her spare time Amy took up miniature golf in an attempt to impress her father, becoming a champion in tournaments.<br />
<br />
=== Mars University and an Internship ===<br />
Joining [[Mars University (Place)|Mars University]]'s student body, thanks to a donation from her parents, Amy began an engineering degree and joined the family sorority, Kappa Kappa Wong. In [[2998]], while studying at MU she took an internship at [[Planet Express]], a company owned by [[Professor Hubert J. Farnsworth|Professor Farnsworth]], one of her teachers. While the job involves engineering work, Amy would occasionally join the delivery crew on the [[Planet Express Ship|ship]], learning how to fly it and control the winch in order [[The Series Has Landed|to save]] the current crew.<br />
<br />
=== A chance meeting ===<br />
On [[A Flight to Remember|a company vacation]] aboard the [[Titanic]] Amy claimed to have a boyfriend. Fortunately for her, this ruse ended shortly before evacuating, and her parents finally set her up with someone she liked; the ship's new captain [[Kif Kroker]]. After being dropped off back at Planet Express by her [[Amphibiosans|Amphibiosan]] love interest, he became too nervous to talk to her and instead began calling and hanging up, which he did for an entire year. They also managed to avoid seeing each other during his brief stint as the company's ship's First Mate. Amy moved on and resumed dating other men, including [[Put Your Head on My Shoulder|a short term romance]] with [[Philip J. Fry|Fry]], which ended with his head surgically attached to her body. Fortunately, his body was soon repaired and the head was put back in place.<br />
<br />
Eventually, after one of Kif's failed phone calls, [[Zapp Brannigan|Zapp]] used the couple for a chance to get close to [[Turanga Leela|Leela]]. Zapp crashed and burned, taking the restaurant-ship with him, but [[Kif-Amy relationship|Kif and Amy's relationship]] managed to begin anew. Despite having introduced them, Amy's parents did not approve of Kif when she brought him home for [[Mars Day]] and although he later saved her life when she was kidnapped by the [[Native Martians]], they didn't believe it.<br />
<br />
=== Long distance relationship ===<br />
Due to Kif's [[DOOP|career]], the couple were forced to maintain the relationship long distance. Amy spent this time at work, [[Bendin' in the Wind|following a band on tour]] and becoming an honourary [[Globetrotters|Globetrotter]] but eventually decided to sneak on board the Planet Express ship and steal it while the crew was sleeping. This rendezvous led to Kif's impregnation, which almost split the couple up, but once it became clear that they would remain in a swamp for twenty years to develop into children, she came around. Not too long after this she [[Teenage Mutant Leela's Hurdles|became a child again]] herself due to an accident at a health spa, and may have come out of the experience slightly younger than where she started. They continued to date, [[Three Hundred Big Boys|spending the day on a paddle plane]] or spending the night at a reception for the silk surplus.<br />
<br />
=== Fonfon Rubok ===<br />
[[File:Fonfon Rubok.png|right|thumb|Amy's and Kif's Fonfon Rubok]]<br />
In the following years Amy had grown her hair long until it was burned down to the previous length by [[Bender]]. Soon after became one of many victims of [[Scammer Aliens|scammers]] who took control of the whole of planet [[Earth]]. After the planet was reclaimed, Amy and Kif had a [[coinage#F|Fonfon Rubok]] the marriage fell apart soon after, when Kif was killed by Zapp's incompetence. He was brought back, but after learning that she and Zapp had spent a night together, he left her.<br />
<br />
=== The golfing feminist ===<br />
Having long sought the approval of her father, she initially defended him against Leela for his views on women but eventually couldn't take the criticism, joining the [[Feministas]] to get back at him. The group's history leads to their arrest, but they are broken out by Bender and after Leo's plan is foiled, she is reunited with Kif as they and her co-workers escape from Zapp down a wormhole.<br />
<br />
=== Proposition Infinity ===<br />
After crashing the ship into Earth and being [[Rebirth|rebirthed]], Amy has a long fight with Kif that leads to their break-up when he cannot stand her flirting with bad boys. Supporting this theory, Amy starts a [[robosexuality|robosexual]] relationship with [[Bender Bending Rodriguez|Bender]], and they decide to marry and votes to [[Proposition Infinity|legalize robosexual marriage]]. However Bender leaves her upon realising she wants a monogamous wedding, and she returns to Kif, who now has turned a bad boy for her.<br />
<br />
=== Doctor of Applied Physics ===<br />
[[File:Dr. Amy Wong.jpg|right|thumb|Amy's graduation from Mars University]]<br />
In 3010, having worked as an intern for twelve years, Amy presented her thesis to the Professors at [[Mars University (place)|Mars University]]. She fails to get her doctorate the first time, but it is revealed that [[Professor Morris Katz]], one of the Professors that failed her, was actually an alien cat who then stole the [[Earth]]'s rotational energy using the very device Amy had just designed and been failed for. Amy used her skills as a scientist to solve the problem by causing the Earth to rotate in the opposite direction and earn her PhD in applied physics. Despite this achievement, however, she stays at [[Planet Express]] after [[Professor Fisherprice Shpeekenshpell]] describes the job market as "rough".<br />

*[[Sir Reginald Wong]], Leo's paternal ancestor who bought [[Mars]] from its natives with a [[Giant Diamond|bead]]<br />

=== Trivia ===<br />
[[File:Amy promo.png|right|thumb|Amy Wong]]<br />
*Amy is a notorious klutz. She loses things, is the victim/cause of many accidents, and frequently falls over or trips on things.<br />
*Before she met Kif, Amy had many boyfriends and often made Leela jealous or angry of her looks.<br />
*At Mars U., Amy was a member of the sorority Kappa Kappa Wong and was an engineering student of [[Professor Hubert J. Farnsworth|Professor Farnsworth]].<br />
*On two occasions, she has had a relationship with [[Fry]]. (''see [[Fry-Amy relationship]] for more info'')<br />
*Despite being socially aware and 'bubbly', she is a bit of a ditz and suffers from her own naivete (physically and socially) in many episodes.<br />
*Amy speaks Yeti.<br />
*Like her [[Leo and Inez Wong|parents]], When she gets mad or frustrated, she is actually speaking Cantonese (Chinese Dialect). Seen in {{e|1ACV02}}, {{e|2ACV12}}, {{e|3ACV01}}, {{f|1}}, {{f|4}}, & {{e|6ACV08}}.<br />
*She is an honorary [[Globetrotters|Globetrotter]].<br />
*Only staff member not seen in [[Futurama (video game)|the game]].<br />
*Has several tattoos at various places, including at least four [[Talking Tattoo|talking tattoos]] (one on her upper right arm and three presumably on her buttock (she also has a tattoo of [[Inez Wong|her mother]] on her ass) one of which neighs like a horse) and one [[Amy's Obscene Tattoo|obscene tattoo]] on her left upper arm, which cannot be viewed on a standard definition TV.<br />
*Has the same blood type as [[Professor Hubert J. Farnsworth|Professor Farnsworth]]. This is probably the only reason Professor Farnsworth keeps her around. ([[The Series Has Landed|1ACV02]]).<br />
*Has a pet [[Buggalo]] named [[Betsy]].<br />
*An alternate version of her named [[Gynecaladriel]] appeared in {{f|3}}.<br />
*Her email is awong79@marslink.web, suggesting she is born in 2979.<br />
*Is highly allergic to cats.<br />
*Her star sign is {{w|Sagittarius (astrology)|Sagittarius}}, which puts her birth date in late November or early to mid December.<br />
** Except that on 1st December 2979 the Sun as seen from Mars is on the border between Virgo and Leo. Sagittarius is on the opposite side of the sky. Of course one shouldn't expect astrology to have anything to do with the actual positions of objects in the sky, but still...<br />
<br />
=== Catchphrase ===<br />
Amy doesn't have a specific catchphrase, but frequently spouts futuristic slang in place of common modern colloqiualisms, the most common being one that replaces "Duh!".<br />
Variations include:<br />
*Guh! ([[The Series Has Landed|1ACV02]]), ([[Love's Labours Lost in Space|1ACV04]]), ([[A Fishful of Dollars|1ACV06]])<br />
*Buh! ([[Love's Labours Lost in Space|1ACV04]]), ([[A Clone of My Own|2ACV10]])<br />
*Fluh! {{et|2ACV04}}<br />
*Spluh! ([[Put Your Head on My Shoulder|2ACV07]]), ([[The Farnsworth Parabox|4ACV15]]), ([[Bender's Big Score Part 1|5ACV01]])<br />
*Abraca-Duh! {{et|3ACV18}}<br />
*Guh-oh. {{et|6ACV04}}<br />
*Shmich! {{et|4ACV16}}<br />
*What the shmell happened? ([[A Clockwork Origin|6ACV09]], [[Lrrreconcilable Ndndifferences|6ACV11]])<br />
<br />
In the same vein, Amy also routinely utters variations on the word "Sheesh!", for example, "Spleesh!" Being the only young, hip character on the show, this constantly shifting slang is obviously a nod to the constantly changing "cool things to say" that pop culture tosses around and then tosses aside over time.<br />
<br />
Also, whenever she falls or slips, she screams and the same soundbite is used each time. The sound of something breaking usually follows.<br />
She also frequently comments on Leela's looks or hygiene in a very tactless, catty and often insulting way.<br />

"'''The Farnsworth Parabox'''" is the sixty-ninth episode of ''[[Futurama]]'', the fifteenth of the [[Season 4|fourth production season]] and the tenth of the [[Broadcast season 5|fifth broadcast season]]. It aired 8 June, 2003 on FOX. [[Professor Hubert J. Farnsworth|Farnsworth]] creates a tunnel to a parallel universe, wherein the characters meet some rather alternative figures of themselves.<br />
<br />
== The Story ==<br />
=== Act I: "Satan! You owe me!" ===<br />
While [[Professor Hubert J. Farnsworth|Professor Farnsworth]] is in the process of almost killing himself with an experiment spectacularly gone bad, [[Philip J. Fry|Fry]] is once again trying to invite [[Turanga Leela|Leela]] to go out with him, but she refuses and claims that she can't join him because of "sweaty boot-rash".<br />
<br />
Shortly afterwards, the Professor calls on the crew to dispose of a box containing the crazy-ass experiment that almost killed him, by throwing it into the Sun itself. He forbids everyone to look into the box for any reason, fueling the crews curiosity to a critical stage. [[Hermes Conrad|Hermes]] chases off the nosy crew members and sets Leela with a gun to guard the box. Fry and [[Bender Bending Rodriguez|Bender]] mount a serious attempt to seize the box by crawling through the buildings steam tunnels, and indeed manage to acquire it. They find it full of junk (beer and tangled Christmas tree lights), much to their pleasure, because Leela has foreseen the attempt and planted a fake box so she can guard the real box in peace.<br />
<br />
However, she is eventually overcome with curiosity herself, and when she goes to the coffee dispenser, she lets a coin flip decide whether to look into it or not. The coin says to go ahead, and Leela looks inside - the box is deep, much deeper than a box this size should be, and she falls through it and lands on the floor. Fry comes in, and looks rather different - he has black hair and different clothes. He is followed by Bender, who has a shiny golden finish, the Professor, who has a curious scar on his head, and eventually Leela sees herself enter the room - with red hair and a cup of coffee.<br />
<br />
=== Act II: "How did you get by this stylish head-wound?" ===<br />
The other Professor soon realizes what must have happened: the box contains a parallel universe and is a gateway between the two universes. He suspects that the universe where Leela came from is populated by evil twins and sends the different Leela through the gateway with a gun to round up the other inhabitants. She does so, and the two [[Planet Express]] crews end up facing each other in the other universe. The original Leela and her twin end up fighting and beat each other unconscious, and both crews agree to seek a violence-free solution. They decide to name the universe where the original Leela came from ''Universe A'', while the other universe is ''Universe 1'' (Originally Universe B). It seems that a key difference between the two universes is that coin flips have different outcomes, which explains why Leela-1 didn't look into the box and got herself coffee instead while Leela-A did take a look. It also accounts for Bender-1's golden finish and the Professor-1's head scar that he inflicted on himself while experimenting to remove his own brain. Professor-1 has hidden the box with Universe A in it until he is convinced their other selves are not evil, so there is no returning for now. Fry-A and Leela-A are astonished to learn that Fry-1 and Leela-1 are a married couple. <br />
<br />
The opposite selves soon gradually decide that their other incarnations are not evil and make friends (the two Benders make friends very quickly, since they love what is essentially themselves). Meanwhile, the two Frys and Leelas are having dinner at [[Elzar's Fine Cuisine]], and Fry-1 and Leela-1 tell the story how they got together. It turns out that Leela-1 gave Fry-1 a chance for a date after a coin flip, the date was most satisfactory and one thing led to another. The same coin flip had an opposite outcome in Universe A, so Leela-A and Fry-A didn't come together - Fry-A berates an embarassed Leela-A for her constant deception. The two [[Dr. John Zoidberg|Zoidberg]]s hang out in a dumpster (Zoidberg-1 has a blue carapace) and work out a plan to get everyone's attention: to steal the box with Universe-A in it. Both Professors then announce that neither crew is evil, and the crew-A is free to go. Just that moment, Hermes-1 (blond hair) enters and wonders why the crew is not out to destroy the Professor's box. It turns out that Professor-A instructed Hermes-A to destroy the box, so there is no time to lose.<br />
<br />
=== Act III: "Hermes, don't press that button!" ===<br />
Professor-1 dives into his personal fishtank to retrieve the box with Universe-A in it, but finds it has been stolen - the Zoidbergs have it. The two Professors decide to take desperate measures and produce further parallel universes in the hope that Universe-A will be among them. Dozens of identical boxes are produced by some strange machine, and the crews try to find the proper universe in them. As they are unsuccesful and about to despair, the Zoidbergs enter with the right box, but flee into one of the boxes as the crews give chase. The other universe boxes fall down around the box, making it impossible to determine which one is the right one.<br />
<br />
The crew members attach themselves to Universe-1 with ropes and explore the boxes that contain weird variations of the Universe, eventually they seize the Zoidbergs and obtain the box with Universe-A in it. They all return to Universe-1 using their ropes, and then rush into Universe-A to stop Hermes from disposing the box into the sun - they arrive just in the moment when Hermes is about to release the box out of the ship, and he can be persuaded not to kill everyone as he has them at his mercy. <br />
<br />
The crews make their farewells, and Leela-A decides to give Fry a chance and lets herself be invited to a big ape fight. The Professors grab the other universes box and pull - and end up with a box containing their own universe. Quite a responsibility, really. The crew adjourn to the TV, and Fry takes a seat on the box, compressing the screen slightly... No one seems to notice anything's changed.<br />

<br />
=== Trivia ===<br />
*If all of the universes are parallel, at least a few of the parallel characters, Robot [[Fry]], Ancient Rome Professor, Bobblehead Bender etc., would also be looking for the other versions of Zoidberg, but they're not. <br />
*One of the planets seen in the zoom-in scene of the Universe-A box to Universe-1 is [[Planet Eternium]].<br />
*Leela is reading a magazine, the ''Nosy Inquirer'', headline: ''Bigfoot turns 80!''<br />
*The [[Planet Express Ship]] has acquired an Ejection Port, large enough for PE crews A and 1 to easily fit into it.<br />
*The [[Planet Express]] building in Universe-1 is blue, and the sky has a strange colour pattern.<br />
*The [[Futurama (video game)|Futurama game]], developed around the same time as this episode was written, depicts [[Bogad]] as being in a corner of the universe. This fits well with the universe-in-a-box concept.<br />
*This episode includes the smallest cast of any ''[[Futurama]]'' [[episode]], with only 5 cast members.<br />
*Shortly after the professor A comes into Universe 1 He declares that he made a Parallel Universe; Professor 1 then states: "Baldercrap, I created your Universe! All you created was my fist parallel to your face." Then Professor 1 punches Professor A, invalidating Professor 1's statement (hitting him makes his fist perpendicular to Professor A's face - parallel lines do not intersect. On the other hand, fists and faces are not lines; they are body parts).<br />
*This episode was named #17 on IGN's list of [http://tv.ign.com/articles/716/716663p1.html Top 25 Futurama Episodes].<br />
*According to the [[Commentary:The Farnsworth Parabox|audio commentary]], Zoidberg-1 is blue because around 1 in 100 lobsters is blue.<br />
*Although credited, neither [[Tress MacNeille]] nor [[Maurice LaMarche]] have any roles in this episode. The role of the [[Transition Announcer]], usually played by LaMarche, is filled by [[Billy West]].<br />
*Even though the most paradoxical element of the episode apparently comes at the episode's end, the fact that Universe A is within a box in Universe 1 means that if Hermes A had succeeded in destroying the box containing Universe 1, he would have also destroyed the box within that universe, thus also destroying Universe A. This would, of course, also destroy all of the other parallel universes the crew explored.<br />
<br />
=== Parallel Universes ===<br />
A description of the universes explored by Crew-A and Crew-1:<br />
*'''Universe A''' - The normal Futurama universe. Boxes in this universe are yellow.<br />
*'''Universe 1''' - The first alternate universe seen, coin tosses have opposite outcomes and almost everything is a different color. Boxes in this universe are blue.<br />
*'''Universe 25''' - Nobody has eyes. Boxes in this universe are white.<br />
*'''Universe 1729''' - Everybody is a bobblehead version of themselves. Boxes in this universe are pink. It is possible that 1729 was intentionally chosen to represent this universe by the Futurama writers, because 1729 is the Hardy-Ramanujan number.<br />
*'''Universe 31''' - Everybody is a robot version of themselves, and robots may possibly be human, although none are ever seen. Boxes in this universe are green.<br />
*'''Universe XVII''' - The overall outfit of this universe matches the Roman Empire. Boxes in this universe are purple.<br />
*'''Universe 420''' - A hippie universe where marijuana smoking is implied both by its smoky haze and its label 420. There appears to be a shortage of boxes in this universe. The only box seen in this universe is orange. 420 is commonly used slang for smoking weed.<br />
*'''Other universes''' - One (explored by Fry) is very cold, another (explored by the Professor) has everyone as women, a third sticks on Hermes-1's head, and another (explored by Leela) has octopus residents. Also, both Benders steal treasure from both a ''leprechaun universe'' and a ''pirate universe''.<br />

=== Goofs ===<br />
*In the Nosy Inquirer magazine Leela reads, it says [[Bigfoot]] turns 80 even though they removed a Big Foot joke earlier in the series to make the plot in "[[Spanish Fry]]" make sense.<br />
**Although, it appears to be a tabloid which are notorious for printing false stories. Also it could be anachronistically suggesting that the legend of Bigfoot is 80 years old, after all the people of the year 3000 have a very limited knowledge of the past (at least the 20th/21st centuries anyway)<br />
*In a shot of Leela looking into the box in universe A, the room is blue, the colour of universe 1.<br />
**The same mistake happened in universe 1 as the background color is red.<br />
*Fry mistakenly refers to [[Xmas]] lights as "Christmas lights" in the decoy box.<br />
**Though this may well be Fry's mistake, rather than the mistake of the writers.<br />
*When all of the cast is jumping into the box for universe "A," they exit in a different order than they entered in. Jumping order was: Fry-A, Amy-A, Fry-1, Amy-1, Leela-A, Bender-A, Leela-1, Bender-1, Hermes-1, Zoidberg-A, Zoidberg-1, Professor-1, Professor-a. The exiting order was: Fry-A, Leela-A, Bender-A, Fry-1, Amy-A, Bender-1, Amy-1, Zoidberg-A, Hermes-1, Zoidberg-1, Leela-1, Professor-A, Professor-1.<br />
*When Zoidberg A is sucking on a can, he briefly has 5 prehensile.<br />
*The boxes seem not to contain another universe, but to provide a gateway into them, like a wormhole. Therefore, it seems like destroying the box with Universe-1 in it would just trap the crew in Universe-1.<br />

"'''Attack of the Killer App'''" is the ninety-first episode of ''[[Futurama]]'', the third of the [[Season 6|sixth production season]] and the [[Broadcast season 7|seventh broadcast season]]. It aired 1 July 2010 on Comedy Central. It guest stars [[Craig Ferguson]] as [[Susan Boil]]. After [[Mom]] launches the new [[eyePhone]], [[Philip J. Fry|Fry]] and [[Bender Bending Rodriguez|Bender]] race to getting a million followers on the [[Twitcher]] app.<br />
<br />
== The Story ==<br />
=== Act I: "Good news, nobodies!" ===<br />
At the [[New New York]] annual [[Annual e-Waste Recycling Festival|e-Waste event]], [[Mayor Poopenmeyer]] announces the importance of throwing out dated e-waste. Even the [[Planet Express]] crew is there to throw out old electronics, such as [[doomsday devices]], [[Japanese toilet]]s and evidence. When prompted about where all the waste goes, Poopenmeyer tells them that they get some idiots to fly it off to the third world. This cues [[Professor Hubert J. Farnsworth|Farnsworth]] to announce to his crew that they are the idiots to fly it off. The third world turns out to be the [[Third World of the Antares system]], where all the e-waste are dumped on the ground and burnt, turning it into useless material and releasing the toxin into the air, as well as the inhabitants dismantling the ship and [[Bender]]. As [[Turanga Leela|Leela]] discovers the horrors that their e-waste is leaving other planets in, she decides that the crew should avoid throwing out electronics, just because it is dated, and decides to take her old phone back.<br />
<br />
However, her noble actions are short lived as an ad for the new [[eyePhone]] appears on the television, and the crew immediately throws out their current phones and heads for the queue. The queue, however, is so long, it is all the way through town. After a day of tireless walking, the crew begins to suspect that they are nothing but consumer zombies. Luckily, [[Dr. Ben Beeler]] is there to relieve them of their worries, as the eyePhone have all the apps you need. Soon, they arrive at the [[Mom Store]], where a giant screen with [[Mom]] announces that the eyePhones are in short supply, which soon spreads panic among the shoppers. However, as the viewers soon learn, the short supply line is purely a method of increasing demand. While being told that with the eyePhone, he has no choice of carrier, can't change the battery and more, [[Philip J. Fry|Fry]] becomes impatient and demands the man at the counter to take his money. Though, on the question of why its name is an 'eyePhone', Fry soon learns, it is because it is installed into their eyes.<br />
<br />
=== Act II: "Did you know these eyePhones are phones too?" ===<br />
[[File:File-6ACV03 Floating Screens.jpg|left|thumb|A [[promo pic]] showing the crew using the floating screens from their eyePhones]]<br />
Soon, all the crew members are addicts to their eyePhones and especially the extra service, [[Twitcher]], where they can send small view messages to everyone who wishes to see it. Bender soon becomes addicted to the popularity he can easily gain from sending out videos and increasing his amount of followers. Fry, on the other hand, is not doing so well in numbers of followers, but decides to take a challenge with Bender about who can first reach one million followers. To make the bet interesting, however, the loser is to bathe in a pool filled with puke and diarrhea from a [[Mr. Chunks|two-headed goat]].<br />
<br />
Meanwhile, Mom is very pleased with the sale of her eyePhones, because they are a much more efficient way of sucking information out of people, instead of doing it the old fashion way. With Twitcher, people are apparently willing to post everything they do, which all eyePhones record and Mom can see all this information. In addition, she is pleased to learn that Bender and Fry are throwing their million follower-Twitcher challenge, because when one person reaches one million followers, she can initiate her [[Twitt-worm]], what she calls the ''true'' killer app of the eyePhone, but never fully explains what it does.<br />
<br />
Back at Planet Express, Bender's follower numbers are raising fast, while Fry is still in the two digits. However, Fry learns about Leela's horrible secret, that she has a singing boil on her right butt cheek, that she calls [[Susan Boil]]. However, in discovering it, his eyePhone also filmed it. When Leela discovers that he has it on video, she asks him not to upload it, even though Fry can see a decent potential for his upload, and it could make him win the bet. In a desperation of not wanting to swim in puke and diarrhea, he uploads it.<br />
<br />
=== Act III: "Impending news, everyone!" ===<br />
The video is a huge success, but Leela is devastated when she discovers that Fry lied to her. Walking through the streets of New New York, Leela feels she have become a freak show and desperately wants to hide her shame.<br />
<br />
However, the video results in Fry and Bender reaching a tie with both one million followers, and no one has to swim in the pool. Mom is even more pleased with the results, as she now has one to two million people she can infect with the Twit-worm. In front of the [[Planet Express headquarters]], Leela finds Fry, who wants to apologize for uploading the video and explains he actually took a swim in the pool for her sake. But Leela has discovered that her boil is already yesterday's news, and nobody cares about it any more.<br />
<br />
Meanwhile, around them, hundreds of people walking in a zombie like fashion begins emerging. All heading towards the Mom Store, where they are going to be the first to purchase the new eyePhone 2.0.<br />
<br />

=== ''iPhone'' controversy ===<br />
After having the aired "Attack of the Killer App", [[Comedy Central]] decided to remove the "eyePhone" reference in their online video previews,<ref name="maclife-iphoneremoval">{{cite web |url=http://www.maclife.com/article/news/why_did_comedy_central_remove_eyephone_reference_futurama_online_clip | title=Why Did Comedy Central Remove EyePhone Reference from Futurama Online Clip? |author=Baldwin, Roberto |publisher=MacLife |date=2010-07-02 |accessdate=2010-07-03}}</ref> resulting in an awkward reaction to nothing by the characters.<ref name="gizmodo-iphoneremoval">{{cite web |url=http://www.gizmodo.com.au/2010/07/futurama-weirdly-removes-eyephone-reference-from-online-clip/ |title=''Futurama'' Weirdly Removes EyePhone Reference From Online Clip |author=Chen, Jason |publisher=Gizmodo Australia |date=2010-07-02 |accessdate=2010-07-03}}</ref> By this point, neither Comedy Central nor Apple Inc. have made a comment on why the line was removed, but MacLife holds that only one company could be interested in removing it.<ref name="maclife-iphoneremoval"/><br />

== Additional info ==<br />
[[File:6ACV03 Dismantled Ship still.jpg|right|thumb|A promo pic showing the dismantled ship.]]<br />
<br />
=== Trivia ===<br />
*As in "[[In-A-Gadda-Da-Leela]]", the [[opening sequence]] was abridged in this episode. Consequently, there is no [[List of opening cartoons|opening cartoon]].<br />
*The title of the episode is a reference to the cult film ''{{w|Attack of the Killer Tomatoes}}''.<br />
*6 August, 1991 is the date {{w|Tim Berners-Lee}} announced the {{w|World Wide Web}} project and software on the alt.hypertext newsgroup.<br />
*In his first two appearances, [[Scoop Chang]] was voiced by [[David Herman]]. In this episode, however, he is voiced by [[Maurice LaMarche]].<br />
*For reasons unknown, Leela wears her full costume from [[Applied Cryogenics]] during the first part of the episode.<br />
*Among the zombies infected with the [[twitt-worm]] are two who bear a strong resemblance to [[Fry, Bender and Leela's replacements|Fry and Leela's replacements]] from "[[When Aliens Attack]]". There is a zombie a character resembling {{w|Krusty the Clown}} from ''[[The Simpsons]]''.<br />
<br />
=== Continuity ===<br />
*The shell phone Zoidberg throws away debuted in ''[[The Beast with a Billion Backs]]''.<br />
*The cell phone Amy throws away was first seen in "[[Amazon Women in the Mood]]".<br />
*The episode seemed to show the last of [[Flexo]] before his death, presuming he didn't escape afterwards.<br />
**Although it is revealed in "[[Lethal Inspection]]" that your typical [[Bending Units|Bending Unit]] can never die, but simply be transferred into a new body if need be.<br />
<br />
=== Goofs ===<br />
*The hinges of [[Bender]]'s chest cavity door are on the wrong side after the [[Antarians]] strip him halfway down.<br />
*Right after every crew member tosses their phones in the garbage, [[Dr. John A. Zoidberg|Zoidberg]]'s pants are white instead of aqua.<br />
*How was Zoidberg able to afford an eyePhone when he is so poor?<br />
*When the counter clerk that Fry talks to opens the eyePhone box the Mom logo is properly oriented but once the box is opened and the camera angle changes, the logo is flipped upside-down, thus again properly oriented in relation to the camera.<br />
*The sitting arrangement changes when [[Leela]] crashes the [[Planet Express Ship]].<br />
:'''Before''': [[Fry]] - [[Amy]] - Empty - [[Zoidberg]] - [[Bender]] - [[Hermes]] - Empty - Empty<br />
:'''After''': [[Fry]] - [[Amy]] - [[Zoidberg]] - [[Bender]] - Empty - [[Hermes]] - Empty<br />
:Note that there is one chair missing. Interestingly, the first sitting arrangement is the same as the one in "[[The Late Philip J. Fry]]".<br />
*Bender should be seated where Hermes was seated so the angle of the video he posted would be accurate.<br />
*When Fry and Leela hug again, Fry has 4 legs.<br />
*When the [[eyePhone Seller|guy from the counter]] reaches for the eyePhone, his hand grabs more than one copy. Strangely, in the very next scene, he has only one to give to Fry.<br />
<br />
=== Allusions ===<br />
*Fry refers to [[Mr. Chunks]] as a puke-me-poop-you, possibly his species name, but surely a play on the two-headed pushmi-pullyu from the classic children’s series {{w|Dr. Dolittle}}.<br />
*[[Susan Boil]] is a parody of Scottish internet singing sensation {{w|Susan Boyle}}.<br />
*[[eyePhone|eyePhones]] are parodies of {{w|iPhone}}s.<br />
*[[Twitcher]] is a parody of the popular social networking site {{w|Twitter}}.<br />
*The scene of Leela exiting [[Elzar's Fine Cuisine]] is a parody of the famous scene of {{w|Marilyn Monroe}} in ''{{w|The Seven Year Itch}}''.<br />
<br />

"'''A Bicyclops Built for Two'''" is the twenty-second episode of ''[[Futurama]]'', the ninth of the [[Season 2|second production season]] and the thirteenth of the [[Broadcast season 2|second broadcast season]]. It aired 19 March, 2000 on FOX. While searching for her origins, [[Turanga Leela|Leela]] runs into another lost cyclops, [[Alcazar]], but his story may not be what it appears to be.<br />
<br />
== The Story ==<br />
{{plot-update}}<br />
<!-- Act headings should have the episode titles from the DVD releases. Leave blank if unknown. Under each, give a brief summary of the major events of that act. The acts begin and end at commercial breaks, and they also correspond to the chapters of the DVDs. <br />
If you know how, make links of the first reference to any other characters, places, or things that have/should have their own articles.<br />
--><br />
<br />
=== Act I: "We're online!" ===<br />
After trying and failing several years ago, [[Professor Hubert J. Farnsworth|the Professor]] finally connects to [[the Internet]] through AOL. Everyone except the Professor logs in to the virtual world. After fighting many ads flying around, they visit the "Filthy Chat Room" and the "Filthy Filthy Chat Room". Later, they eventually come together in a "video game", ''Death Factory III: The Legend of Death Factory II''. Inside the game world, they fight each other by shooting lasers with their fingers. Farnsworth appears some times to tell the crew they have a delivery, but they ignore him. When looking for [[Philip J. Fry|Fry]], [[Turanga Leela|Leela]] meets [[Alcazar|another cyclops]], but Fry kills his character and wins the game, preventing Leela learning about her species. On the delivery, Leela receives an email from Alcazar, the other cyclops, who invites her to their home planet. The crew dumps their cargo, which drifts into the sun of the destination planet.<br />
<br />
=== Act II: "Look at that statue, it's only got one eye." ===<br />
The crew arrive on the [[Cyclopia|planet]], where [[Bender Bending Rodríguez|Bender]] immediately sets about stealing Alcazar's possessions. Alcazar takes Leela to see the ruins of the planet, which include a mosaic of their goddess of beauty (who looks like Leela), The Forbidden Valley, a holy sanctuary where no one may tread and Alcazar's giant castle. Leela asks Alcazar what happened to their people, but he says it's too painful to speak of. At night, Leela hears Alcazar crying. Alcazar tells Leela about her heritige. He tells of their people's demise when the "Eyeless Mole People" of "Subterra 3" shot missiles to the planet because they were jealous of the visual ability of the Cyclops and tells her that they shot lots of missiles hoping to destroy Cyclopia and, unfortunately, one of the missiles destroyed the planet. Alcazar and a baby who was rescued and sent to the [[Earth]] were the only survivors. Leela tells him their species will not end with them, and they start to make love. The next morning, Alcazar, or "Al", soon begins to show his true colours, a lowlife jerk. In spite of this, Leela decides to try and continue the species, and Leela and Al get engaged. Fry is upset, and attempts to search The Forbidden Valley, but falls into the dungeon in the process.<br />
<br />
=== Act III: "It's time for this bird to walk!" ===<br />
The rest of the staff arrives for the wedding. Fry escapes from the dungeon, and he and Bender search the forbidden valley. They find that it holds four identical castles, the first they visit has cyclops statues replaced with 5-eyed-aliens. Just as Leela is about to say "I do", Fry and Bender burst in with Alcazar's other fiancées. He is revealed to be a shape-shifting grasshopper-type-alien, who is using the same story to wed several lonely aliens. All weddings are called off and Leela continues wondering where she's from.<br />

The '''Michael Collins Mix''' is a mixed [[:Category:Food and Drinks|drink]] probably created or inspired by [[Michael Collins]]. It is a pink cocktail contained in a blue bottle. Its logo consists of a glass, which is filled with ice cubes and a cherry, and a starred sky, wherein you can see a moon, and a few lemon slices. The drink was served by [[Bender Bending Rodríguez]] at the [[100th Delivery Party]] in [[3010#September|September of 3010]]. [[100th Delivery Party#Attendants|Guests]] at the party and Bender are the only people known to have been able to try it.<br />
<br />
== Additional Info ==<br />
=== Trivia ===<br />
*The Michael Collins Mix references {{w|Michael Collins}} and the famous {{w|Tom Collins|Collins Mix}}. As the drink was seen in the context of the [[Devolution Revolution]], it is likely that it is a parody of Michael Collins, who was an {{w|Ireland|Irish}} revolutionary leader, but it can also be viewed as a reference the Apollo 11 astronaut, Michael Collins, considering the moon's appearance on the label.<br />

== 13 episodes a season ==<br />
<br />
http://ifmagazine.com/feature.asp?article=3955<br />
In the eyes of DXC, the 26 ep production season is two 13 ep broadcast seasons. "Season 7" is consists of all 13 episodes from 2010 and "Season 8" is 13 episodes that will be shown in 2011. The DVDs will follow the 2010/2011 divide. As a result I undid your edit to [[Resurrection]]. I hope you understand [[User:Thegreyanomaly|Thegreyanomaly]] 03:44, 6 October 2010 (CEST)<br />

<br />
Hi, Aki. Just noticed you've been replacing the ([[Episode|Production Code]]) thingies with the "ein" template. I know it's kind of our standard, but it looks terrible, while the other one's actually pretty eye-pleasing... at least, the way I see it. (And that's what we want, right? The readers should be happy with the pages they're reading.) I was wondering if you were gonna start changing articles so they'll all use the template. If so: Please, don't! [[User:San Saber|San Saber]] 01:16, 5 December 2010 (CET)<br />
:As you say it is our standard. If it is bad then the standard must be changed. In my opinion the ein template should continue, but be changed into something more eyepleasing. I'll work on it, and while I do, please don't change any of the templates. [[User:Aki|Aki]] 01:59, 5 December 2010 (CET)<br />

== Multiple redirects ==<br />
<br />
You recently created [[2851]] which redirects to [[2850s]] which redirects to [[29th century]] which redirects to [[Timeline]]. Why wouldn't you just redirect 2851 to the section of the timeline you want ([[Timeline#2500 — 2899]], the pound will bring a person to a section of a page)? I don't know if there is a set policy around here (feel free to enlighten me if there is!), but in my experience , double redirects are generally frowned on because they aren't helpful. Redirects will only direct once. Double redirects are always found at [[Special:DoubleRedirects]]. &mdash;'''[[User:JediRogue|Jedi<font color=red>&hearts;</font>Rogue]]''' 02:55, 29 December 2010 (CET)<br />
:I am going to assume it was a casual mistake due to a lot of articles being turned into redirects, so the editor might not have paid attention to that. But you are correct, double redirects are frown upon. --'''[[User:Svip|Svip]]'''<sup>[[User talk:Svip|talk]]</sup> 12:54, 29 December 2010 (CET)<br />
::Svip is correct, it was a mistake. I was editing and decided to redirect it to the articles as they were all ones I plan to create in the close future. Thanks for the notice though. [[User:Aki|Aki]] 20:43, 29 December 2010 (CET)<br />

I find this article to be very decent and highly en par with a good Wikipedia article. Unfortunately, it has some bad areas here and there, with sentences and information cluttered together over time, so the sentence structure becomes odd or off when read from a fresh start. I assume that through some tweaking, the article will become even better than good. --'''[[User:Svip|Svip]]'''<sup>[[User talk:Svip|talk]]</sup> 17:57, 28 February 2010 (CET)<br />
:Since our current policies only allow for an article to be featured once, I think we would do this article more favours by waiting till the season have actually hit the airwaves. We will have more content by then and we will be able to reflect more accurately on the content. It will no doubt be a much better article when featured if we wait. --'''[[User:Svip|Svip]]'''<sup>[[User talk:Svip|talk]]</sup> 11:14, 14 March 2010 (CET)<br />

::::The article could certainly be featured considering how it's halfway through, and it's quite perfect to have it between this hiatus. An idea would be to have the entire article now (January or February) and then have some part of it (production?) expanded and used the fortnight before "[[The Silence of the Clamps]]" airs. However, the article is currently having all too many faults - a featured article should ''never'' have an update template. Fix that, and we're on.

== delta brainwave? ==<br />
<br />
I notice this a lot on here in general, assumptions that seem based on speculation that fill in facts we don't have. There's word for it. Anyway....<br />
<br />
I don't think it has anything to do with the delta brainwave, the reason Fry's brainslug died. Its possible in the future, they might write that in as a feature of the brain slugs. But I'm pretty sure that its merely based on an old joke where you put your hand on someone's head and explain that you are pretending to be a brain sucking monster which is starving. They inferred this in the commentary as well (iirc) and jokes about Fry being stupid are pretty common. <br />
<br />
If one is going to start coming up with theories, I could suggest that Fry's 20th century hair reflects light at the 20th century speed instead of the new 30th century speed and the brain slugs couldn't feed through the interference. &mdash;'''[[User:JediRogue|Jedi<font color=red>&hearts;</font>Rogue]]''' 18:54, 30 December 2010 (CET)<br />
:The problem here is the same as in the ''[[Colonel (mutant)]]'' article. We Infospherians are very imaginative people! This is obviously a joke about Fry's stupidity. And the Delta Brainwave is from [[3ACV07]], while the Brain Slugs' latest appearance is [[2ACV08]]. The writers hadn't even thought come up with it yet! [More speculation.] [[User:San Saber|San Saber]] 01:43, 31 December 2010 (CET)</div>San Saberhttp://theinfosphere.org/index.php?title=Story_arc&diff=77095Story arc2010-12-31T00:39:10Z<p>San Saber: Sure we'll forgive you.

<div>{{update}}<br />
<br />
A '''story arc''' is a recurring overall plot line that spans more than one episode. On ''[[Futurama]]'', numerous story lines appear in several episodes and develop further on this plot, but may have been completely absent in the episodes immediately prior and succeeding these episodes, and sometimes even have gaps in between.<br />
<br />
Story arcs are generally used by the writers to explain character backgrounds or used to explain the relationship between two characters, such as the [[Fry-Leela relationship]], which occurs over several episodes.<br />
<br />
Futurama is fairly unique among animated shows for its use of these overlying story arcs and continuity. In Futurama, things that occur early in the series can have an impact on later events.<br />
<br />
Other examples include:<br />
*The fate of the previous Planet Express crew<br />
*[[Nibblonian arc]]<br />
*[[Fry's origins]] and destiny<br />
*[[Mom-Farnsworth relationship]]<br />
*[[Leela-Zapp relationship]] (one-sided though it may be)<br />
*[[Amy-Kif relationship]]<br />
*Bender's desire to become popular.<br />

<div>I wouldn't comment on this guy being an alien mutant. If you are going to assume he isn't human, why couldn't he be a regular alien that looks like that? In which case, he's not a mutant. Secondly, there really is no reason to assume he isn't a human mutant. There have been other mutants who don't look human. I believe I recall an octopus-like creature who claimed to be a former blonde girl named Virgina (Leela's Homeworld, IIRC). &mdash;'''[[User:JediRogue|Jedi<font color=red>&hearts;</font>Rogue]]''' 18:40, 30 December 2010 (CET)<br />
:He has to be a mutant, otherwise there wouldn't be a reason for him to be in the sewers. The question is whether he is a mutated human or a mutated alien, isn't it? Well, then, I guess we shouldn't have an answer to that in the page, as there's no info in [[6ACV12]] regarding his species, and assume nothing. Maybe removing the first sentence of the ''Character description'' section? (You're right about [[Virginia]].)

== Removed possible wrong line ==<br />
<br />
*In The Simpsons Game Cletus mentions losing a fiddle contest to a "[[Robot Devil|red feller]]"<br />
This ''could'' be a reference to the Robot Devil, all the more likely, it's simply a reference to [[wikipedia:The Devil Went Down to Georgia|The Devil Went Down to Georgia]], it's just that both Futurama and The Simpsons Game referenced the same material. You guys can put it back in, but it's highly unlikely that this is ''really'' a direct Futurama reference.<br />
:While not a direct Futurama reference, it could be mentioned that they are both referencing the same thing. Or something. --[[User:Buddy13|Buddy]] 18:19, 18 January 2009 (UTC)<br />
<br />
== Daily Growl? ==<br />
<br />
Both Simpsons and Futurama mentioned the Daily Growl. The Simpsons mentioned it in a recent episode, [[wikipedia:Double, Double, Boy in Trouble|Double, Double, Boy in Trouble]], so I'm guessing that maybe they referenced Futurama maybe? Unless it is already here... Or Futurama referenced it from somewhere else... Chris of the Futurama 02:23, 26 January 2009 (UTC)<br />
:Well, it would be a connection either way. Even if they just referenced the same thing. What that would be, I don't know. - [[User:Quolnok|Quolnok]] 02:38, 26 January 2009 (UTC)<br />

:Funny, neither could I... {{User:Chris of the Futurama2/sig}}<br />
Gah! Doing it that way means there's no page history any more! - [[User:Quolnok|Quolnok]] 11:03, 18 April 2009 (UTC)<br />

<br />
== Mayored to the Mob ==<br />
<br />
Very subtle one. In the Simpsons episode 'Mayored to the Mob', Uter wears a T-shirt bearing the Futurama logo [http://www.eeggs.com/images/items/2341.full.jpg]. There may be more references to Futurama in the sci-fi convention in that episode, but that's the only one I recall off the top of my head. [[User:Sordyne|Sordyne]] 01:57, 18 April 2009 (UTC)<br />
:Good find. That episode was broadcast a few months ''before'' [[Space Pilot 3000]] too. - [[User:Quolnok|Quolnok]] 11:22, 18 April 2009 (UTC)<br />

<br />
we need too fill in some of those blank spaces. please can anyone get some screenshots of any of them!--[[User:Scruffy|My leg feels funny!]] 06:54, 20 May 2009 (UTC)<br />
:I can only screenshot Futurama Vols. 1&ndash;4, and the movies. I have no scanner, hence no comics, and no Simpsons DVD's. Though I could in theory get my hands on Season 4, which might help for one screenshot that I can think of, but I'd have to check if we already have it. --[[User:Buddy13|Buddy]] 18:26, 20 May 2009 (UTC)<br />

[[Image:0810091502.jpg|right|thumb|Bad picture!]]<br />
The 2010 Simpsons wall calendar features a Futurama crossover. I'm not sure which month, but it's visible on the back. I'd add it, but I'm not sure where it'd go. And I can't really provide scans, either. I could provide a low-quality picture, but that's about it. We sell them where I work. And of course we don't have the Futurama one. --[[User:Buddy13|Buddy]] 14:53, 29 August 2009 (UTC)<br />

[[File:Simpsons 1F14 Killbot Factory.jpg|right|thumb|U.S. Army -- The Kill-bot Factory]]<br />
<br />
In Simpsons episode 1F14 aka "Homer Loves Flanders" (season 5), Kent Brockman opens the episode with an "Eye on Springfield" report about the United States Army and a base near Springfield. He dubs them the "Kill-bot Factory", in his typical sensational fashion. Obviously, [[Killbot]]s would later make appearances and mentions in Futurama. Just wanted to see what anyone else thought about including this in the article. -- [[User:DeepSpaceHomer|DeepSpaceHomer]] 04:10, 30 December 2010 (CET)<br />

''[[Futurama]]'' was created by [[Matt Groening]], and developed jointly with [[David X. Cohen]]. Though, Groening had previously created '''''{{w|The Simpsons}}''''', the most popular and long running animated sitcom ever. Thus, it is only natural that ''Futurama'' would include references to ''The Simpsons'' occasionally within the show (not to mention, owning the copyright means not having to license material). ''The Simpsons'', too, has referenced ''Futurama'' many times. Following is a complete list of connections between ''Futurama'' and ''The Simpsons''.<br />

'''Grrrl''' is a [[Human]] cross-species dresser who has been seen dressing up as an [[Omicronian]] {{et|6ACV11}}. She first saw [[Lrrr]], ruler of the planet [[Omicron Persei 8]], at [[Comic-Con Intergalactic|Comic-Con 3010]], where she was first convinced that he was another nerd wearing a costume. She later met him in ''[[The Hip Joint]]''. Then, she began developing an attraction to him, even after realizing he was an actual Omicronian. Grrrl also said she wanted to have his [[Popplers]].<br />
<br />
== Character Description ==<br />
She seems to have some kind of lust for [[List of alien species|alien monsters]], as, once Lrrr "dumped her", she immediately turned to [[Dr. John A. Zoidberg|Dr. Zoidberg]], a [[Decapodian]] {{et|6ACV11}}. However, it's also possible she thought he was a cross-species dresser too, given that she also has a Decapodian costume.<br />

'''Private Enos Fry''' was a Private First Class stationed at the {{w|Roswell Army Airfield}} in 1947 and was dating a woman (Philip J Fry's grandmother) named [[Mildred Fry|Mildred]]. When Fry came to 1947, he lead Enos off the base and became obsessed with keeping him alive, believing he was his grandfather and fearing for his own existence. He eventually took Enos to the middle of nowhere, which turned out to be an atomic test site where he was killed in a nuclear blast. Prior to his death, Enos was apparently questioning his sexuality.<br />
<br />
=== Near Deaths ===<br />
*Falling on a pile of rusty bayonets (possible fatal wound or later death from {{w|Tetanus}})<br />
*Eating microchips<br />
*Salmonella poisoning from raw chicken<br />
<br />
=== Presumed Family ===<br />
It is believed that [[Mildred Fry]] took the Fry name and claimed that her child was Enos', this list is of people believing Enos to be a relative.<br />
*[[Yancy and Mrs. Fry|Yancy Fry, Sr.]], Son.<br />
*[[Yancy Fry, Jr.]], Grandson. <br />
*[[Philip J. Fry]], Grandson.<br />
*[[Philip J. Fry, II]], Great-grandson.<br />
*[[Professor Hubert J. Farnsworth|Professor Farnsworth]], distant grandson.<br />
*[[Igner]], distant illegimate grandson.<br />
*[[Cubert Farnsworth]], Hubert Farnsworth's clone.<br />
<br />
== Additional Info ==<br />
===Trivia=== <br />
*In "[[The Luck of the Fryrish]]", [[Yancy and Mrs. Fry|Yancy Sr.]] told [[Yancy Fry, Jr.|Yancy Jr]] "your name is Yancy, just like me and my grandfather and so on. All the way back to minuteman Yancy Fry, who blasted commies in the American Revolution." It is believed that Mildred pretended her child was Enos' son and named it after Enos' father due to the difficulties she would otherwise have had in the 1940's as the mother of an illegitimate child.<br />
*Enos is clearly a parody of {{w|Gomer Pyle}} of {{w|the Andy Griffith Show}} and later&mdash;and more related to Enos&mdash;of {{w|Gomer Pyle, U.S.M.C.|his own spin-off}}, both in intelligence and speech. His exclamation of "gadzooks" is analogous to Gomer's "shazam". His sergeant is also a parody of Sgt. Carter.<br />
*In the Italian [[Dubbing|dub]] his name is Gavinus and he speaks with Sardinian accent.<br />
*Although he was supposedly the father of [[Yancy Fry Sr.]], he bears a bigger resemblance to [[Mrs. Fry]].<br />

'''Mrs. Fry''' (née Gleisner) is the mother of [[Philip J. Fry]] who lived in a completely trashed house somewhere in {{w|Flatbush}}, {{w|Brooklyn}}. She loves sports more than her children, such as when she was giving birth to Philip, she cared more about a baseball game and was too busy playing golf when [[Yancy Fry Jr.]] was trying to steal his clover. She was also too excited about a football game to wonder where Philip had disappeared to. Mrs. Fry and [[Yancy Fry Sr.]] didn't care about their son and thought sending him to school was a waste of tax money and didn’t bother much looking for him when he was frozen in [[1999#December|December of 1999]].<br />

"'''The Prisoner of Benda'''" is the ninety-eighth episode of ''[[Futurama]]'', the tenth of the [[Season 6|sixth production season]] and the [[Broadcast season 7|seventh broadcast season]]. [[Professor Hubert J. Farnsworth|The Professor]] and [[Amy Wong|Amy]] are cleaning up a [[The Mind-Switcher|mind-switching machine]] that switches the crew members' minds, but everything goes haywire and they can't change back.<br />
<br />
== The story ==<br />
<br />
=== Act I: "We're just the people this Mind-Switcher was made for by us!" ===<br />
[[file:The Mind-Switcher.jpg|thumb|left|225px|[[Professor Hubert J. Farnsworth|The Professor]] and [[Amy Wong|Amy]] decide to try out [[The Mind-Switcher]].]]<br />
[[Bender Bending Rodriguez|Bender]] is watching the news, and finds out that [[Emperor Nikolai]] of [[Robo-Hungary|the Robo-Hungarian Empire]] is visiting [[New New York]] in his yacht, the [[RMS Overkill|RMS ''Overkill'']]. He plans on stealing the Emperor's crown, but he cannot get his co-workers to help him by doing specific jobs (Amy seducing the guards, Zoidberg cutting the alarm wire, and Fry taking the fall).<br />
Meanwhile, [[Amy Wong|Amy]] and [[Professor Hubert J. Farnsworth|the Professor]] put the finishing touches on [[the Mind-Switcher]]. The Professor reveals that he had always wanted to live life to the extreme while he was young, and Amy reveals that she still has that demonic food lust from way back, despite having obtained an elegant figure since [[2997]]. They decide to switch minds, so that the Professor could use Amy's young body to do extreme sports, and Amy could eat all she wants in the Professor's old body, since he was so thin.<br />
However, when they try to switch back into their normal bodies, they find out that the Mind-Switcher only works once with the same pair of people. They try to solve this problem by putting Farnsworth's mind in Bender's body, and Bender's mind in Amy's body. However, the Professor realizes that it wouldn't work, and Bender runs off with Amy's body to pull of the heist.<br />
Amy finds out that it is difficult to eat with an elderly digestive system, and she convinces [[Turanga Leela|Leela]] to switch bodies with her, so that Leela could get the Professor's senior discount at the movies. Fry is disgusted that Leela is in the Professor, and she claims that Fry is shallow, and had only loved her for her body.<br />
Meanwhile, Bender in Amy's body swims to Nikolai's yacht, where he ties up his guard and cousin [[Basil]]. However, he is then caught by Nikolai.<br />
<br />
=== Act II: "A man could give her a toke of her own medicine." ===<br />
[[file:Nonchalanto falling.jpg|thumb|left|225px|[[Professor Hubert J. Farnsworth|The Professor]] joins [[Circus Roboticus|a circus]] in [[Bender Bending Rodríguez|Bender's]] body.]]<br />
Bender in Amy's body proves that he is a Bending robot to Nikolai and Basil. Nikolai reveals to Bender that he had always wanted to live the life of a normal person, without all the fame and fortune of an Emperor. Bender decides to use this to his advantage, by telling him that he could put his mind into his real Bending Unit body, and in exchange, Bender will live the life of an Emperor in Nikolai's body. The two of them go back to Planet Express where Bender finds out that the Professor, who was in Bender's body, ran off to join [[Circus Roboticus]] as a daredevil named "Nonchalanto". Needing a robot body for the Emperor to reside in, Bender switches minds with [[Wash Bucket]], and then switches minds with Emperor Nikolai, so that Nikolai had Wash Bucket's body, and Bender had Nikolai's body. Meanwhile, Fry decides to get revenge on Leela by putting himself in a hideous body and prove that she is shallow too. He switches minds with [[Dr. John A. Zoidberg|Zoidberg]] so that now Fry has Zoidberg's body and Zoidberg has Fry's body. Nikolai in Wash Bucket's body thinks that Zoidberg in Fry's body is his human friend as Bender said, and Zoidberg pretends to be Fry so that he could have a companion. Fry in Zoidberg's body confronts Leela in the Professor's body. In order to prove that neither of them are shallow, they both decide to go on a date at [[Elzar's Fine Cuisine]]. Leela finds out that her body is getting ruined by Amy, who is making it obese by eating butter. Hermes Conrad agrees to switch bodies with her, so that Hermes would be in Leela's body. Meanwhile, Bender is enjoying life as an Emperor, but is shocked when Nikolai's fiancée [[Princess Flavia]] and Basil pull out guns and swords to assassinate him.<br />
<br />
=== Act III: "This is for Big Bertha." ===<br />
[[File:Prisoner of Benda Theorem on Chalkboard.png|thumb|left|225px|The solution to the problems.]]<br />
Fry in Zoidberg, and Leela in the Professor go for a meal at Elzar's, both trying to repulse the other as much as possible with their new bodies. They both try to prove to each other that they are not shallow by making out on the table at the restaurant, as Amy in Hermes' body, and many others, watch. Meanwhile, Fry's real body, occupied by Zoidberg, takes Nikolai in Wash Bucket's body to [[Robot Arms Apartments|Fry and Bender's apartment]], despite the fact that neither of them had ever been there. Zoidberg pulls out a stove which creates a gas leak. Nikolai asks Zoidberg to light his cigar and they blow up the apartment. As this is happening, Bender in Nikolai's body manages to get back to the mainland of [[New New York]], with Basil and Flavia shooting at him from behind. He is chased into the [[United Nations]] building where Nikolai was supposed to give a speech. However, Basil runs in after him with a sword and attacks him on live television. Meanwhile, Wash Bucket in Amy's body finds Scruffy in his quarters and confesses her love to him. She wants the two of them to move to another city and live together, but Scruffy says no, because in the back of their minds they would know that it wouldn't be right. Professor Farnsworth, still in Bender at the Circus Roboticus, watches the fight at the UN on the [[TV Robot]]. He wants to help Bender, but cannot get there in time. A howitzer named [[Big Bertha]] volunteers to shoot him there, but is badly injured because of the size of Bender's body. The Professor lands on the United Nations building roof. With his own sword, he starts a swordfight with Bassor before he could do any harm to Bender in Nikolai. Meanwhile, the making out of Fry and Leela, in Zoidberg and the Professor, had moved back to Leela's place. After having sex, the two of them are surprised to see Bender's body fighting with Basil on TV. The Professor in Bender's body wins by opening his door and revealing twenty [[Robot Clowns]], all wielding swords of their own, and they kill Basil. Later, at Planet Express, [[Ethan 'Bubblegum' Tate|Bubblegum Tate]] and [['Sweet' Clyde Dixon|Sweet Clyde]] use math to find out a way to get everyone in their original bodies, as shown below. They use it and the episode ends with everyone back to normal and Bender realizing that he forgot the crown in Nikolai's compartment.<br />
<br />
== Production ==<br />
According to [[David X. Cohen]], writer [[Ken Keeler]] penned a theorem (and proof thereof) based on group theory, then used it to explain a plot twist in this episode.<ref name="aps-position">{{cite web |url=http://www.aps.org/publications/apsnews/201005/profiles.cfm |title=Profiles in Versatility: |publisher=American Physics Society |author=Levine, Alaina G. |accessdate=2010-05-15 |quote=In an ''APS News'' exclusive, Cohen reveals for the first time that in the 10th episode of the upcoming season, tentatively entitled "The Prisoner of Benda", a theorem based on group theory was specifically written (and proven!) by staffer/PhD mathematician Ken Keeler to explain a plot twist.}}</ref><br />
<br />
Writer [[Eric Rogers]] calls "The Prisoner of Benda" his favorite ''Futurama'' episode alongside "[[Jurassic Bark]]", "because it may be the epitome of what this series attempts to do every week: the perfect blend of science fiction and bust-a-gut humor".<ref>[http://www.gotfuturama.com/Information/Articles/Eric_Rogers_Interview.dhtml CGEF Interview with<br />
Eric Rogers]</ref><br />
<br />
<br />
== The theorem ==<br />
<br />
=== The inversion ===<br />
<br />
Keeler uses the method outlined in the proof to restore all minds to their respective bodies. Here are his transpositions. He uses thirteen switches total: <br />
<br />
* Fry's body (receiving Sweet Clyde's mind) ↔ Sweet Clyde's body (receiving Dr Zoidberg's mind)<br />
* Dr Zoidberg's body (receiving Bubblegum Tate's mind) ↔ Bubblegum Tate's body (receiving Fry's mind)<br />
* Sweet Clyde's body (receiving Bubblegum Tate's mind) ↔ Dr Zoidberg's body (receiving Dr Zoidberg's mind)<br />
* Bubblegum Tate's body (receiving Sweet Clyde's mind) ↔ Fry's body (receiving Fry's mind)<br />
* Professor Farnsworth's body (receiving Bubblegum Tate's mind) ↔ Sweet Clyde's body (receiving Leela's mind)<br />
* Washbucket's body (receiving Sweet Clyde's mind) ↔ Bubblegum Tate's body (receiving The Emperor's mind)<br />
* Sweet Clyde's body (receiving Hermes's mind) ↔ Leela's body (receiving Leela's mind)<br />
* Bubblegum Tate's body (receiving Bender's mind) ↔ The Emperor's body (receiving The Emperor's mind)<br />
* Hermes's body (receiving Hermes's mind) ↔ Sweet Clyde's body (receiving Amy's mind)<br />
* Bender's body (receiving Bender's mind) ↔ Bubblegum Tate's body (receiving Professor Farnsworth's mind)<br />
* Sweet Clyde's body (receiving Washbucket's mind) ↔ Amy's body (receiving Amy's mind)<br />
* Bubblegum Tate's body (receiving Bubblegum Tate's mind) ↔ Professor Farnsworth's body (receiving Professor Farnsworth's mind)<br />
* Washbucket's body (receiving Washbucket's mind) ↔ Sweet Clyde's body (receiving Sweet Clyde's mind)<br />
<br />
However, this is not the least number of switches possible in this scenario. Because Fry and Zoidberg only switched with each other and no one else, and there is an odd number (1) of other switched groups of bodies, they could have been used as the two spare bodies, completing the restoration in only nine switches: <br />
<br />
* Professor Farnsworth's body (receiving Zoidberg's mind) ↔ Fry's body (receiving Leela's mind)<br />
* Washbucket's body (receiving Fry's mind) ↔ Zoidberg's body (receiving The Emperor's mind)<br />
* Fry's body (receiving Hermes's mind) ↔ Leela's body (receiving Leela's mind)<br />
* Zoidberg's body (receiving Bender's mind) ↔ The Emperor's body (receiving The Emperor's mind)<br />
* Hermes's body (receiving Hermes's mind) ↔ Fry's body (receiving Amy's mind)<br />
* Bender's body (receiving Bender's mind) ↔ Zoidberg's body (receiving Professor Farnsworth's mind)<br />
* Fry's body (receiving Washbucket's mind) ↔ Amy's body (receiving Amy's mind)<br />
* Zoidberg's body (receiving Zoidberg's mind) ↔ Professor Farnsworth's body (receiving Professor Farnsworth's mind)<br />
* Washbucket's body (receiving Washbucket's mind) ↔ Fry's body (receiving Fry's mind) <br />
<br />
Had there been an even number of distinct switched groups, Fry's mind and Zoidberg's mind would have ended up back in the opposite bodies, and having already switched, they could not be switched back without two spare bodies. The solution given in the theorem works for all scenarios.<br />
<br />
=== The proof ===<br />
[[File:Prisoner of Benda Theorem on Chalkboard.png|thumb|300px|right|A screenshot of the proof, transcribed to the left. Click to enlarge.]]<br />
<br />
First let π be some k-cycle on [n] = {1 ... n} WLOG [without loss of generality] write:<br />
π = 1 2 ... k k+1 ... n<br />
2 3 ... 1 k+1 ... n<br />
<br />
Let <a,b> represent the transposition that switches the contents of a and b.<br />
By hypothesis π is generated by DISTINCT switches on [n].<br />
Introduce two "new bodies" {x,y} and write<br />
π* = 1 2 ... k k+1 ... n x y<br />
2 3 ... 1 k+1 ... n x y<br />
<br />
For any i=1 ... k let σ be the (l-to-r) series of switches<br />
σ = (<x,1> <x,2> ... <x,i>) (<y,i+1> <y,i+2> ... <y,k>) (<x,i+1>) (<y,1>)<br />
<br />
Note each switch exchanges an element of [n] with one of {x,y} so they are all distinct from the switches within [n] that generated π and also from <x,y>. By routine verification<br />
π* σ = 1 2 ... n x y<br />
1 2 ... n y x<br />
<br />
i. e. σ reverts the k-cycle and leaves x and y switched (without performing <x,y>).<br />
<br />
NOW let π be an ARBITRARY permutation on [n]. It consists of disjoint (nontrivial) cycles and each can be inverted as above in sequence after which x and y can be switched if necessary via <x,y>, as was desired.<br />
<br />
=== Solution algorithm in plain English ===<br />
Step 1: Have everybody who's messed up arrange themselves in circles, each facing the body their mind should land in (e.g., if Fry's mind is in Zoidberg's body, then the Zoidberg body should face the Fry body).<br />
<br />
Step 2: Go get two "fresh" (as of yet never mind-swapped) people. Let's call them Helper A and Helper B.<br />
<br />
Step 3: Fix the circles one by one as follows:<br />
<br />
3.0) Start each time with Helper A and Helper B's minds in either their own or each other's bodies<br />
<br />
3.1) Pick any circle of messed-up people you like and unwrap it into a line with whoever you like at the front<br />
<br />
3.2) Swap the mind at the front of the line into Helper A's body<br />
<br />
3.3) From back to front, have everybody in the line swap minds with Helper B's body in turn. (This moves each mind in the line, apart from the front one, forward into the right body)<br />
<br />
3.4) Swap the mind in Helper A's body back where it belongs, into the body at the back of the line. Now the circle/line has been completely fixed. The one side effect is that for each time a circle is fixed, the Helpers' minds will switch places, but that's OK, see below<br />
<br />
Step 4: At the very end, after all the circles have been fixed, mind-swap the two Helpers if necessary (i.e., in case there was originally an odd number of messed-up circles)<br />
<br />
Note: This is not the exact algorithm used in the show. This algorithm sets i = 1 in the proof provided by the show, whereas you could actually set i to be any number from 1 to k. This algorithm also reverses the order of the final two switches in the provided proof. Explained simply, the provided proof's exact method for fixing any circle is this: Helper A could switch in turn back-to-front starting and stopping at any points in the circle, then Helper B would switch back-to-front through the remainder of the circle, Helper A would then switch with the first member of Helper B's arc, and Helper B would then switch with the first member of Helper A's arc.<br />

== Reception ==<br />
In its original American broadcast, "The Prisoner of Benda" was viewed by an estimated 1.774 million households, down 150,000 viewers since "[[A Clockwork Origin]]" <ref>[http://tvbythenumbers.com/2010/08/20/more-thursday-cable-project-runaway-up-futurama-real-housewives-down/60591]</ref>.<br />
<br />
== Additional Info ==<br />
<br />
=== Allusions ===<br />
* The title of the episode and Bender's plot of posing as an emperor is a reference to the 1894 novel {{w|The Prisoner of Zenda}} (as well as its numerous adaptions).<br />
* The title caption refers to {{w|Cygnus X-1}}, which is a black hole. If nothing can escape from a black hole, then clearly anything that happens in Cygnus X-1 will stay in Cygnus X-1.<br />
* [[Turanga Leela|Leela]] makes several mentions of {{w|Nicolas Cage}} movies, possibly the {{w|National Treasure (franchise)|National Treasure}} series and {{w|Astro Boy (film)|the Astro Boy movie}}.<br />
* [[Bender Bending Rodriguez|Bender]] in [[Amy Wong|Amy's]] body convinces [[Emperor Nikolai]] that he is a robot by dancing {{w|Michael Jackson}}'s famous {{w|Moonwalk (dance)|Moonwalk}}.<br />
* In order to show that he is a robot, [[Bender Bending Rodriguez|Bender]], in [[Amy Wong|Amy's]] body, tells [[Emperor Nikolai]] to ask him something only a robot would know. This is referred to as a ''Reverse Turing Test'' and is a reference to the {{w|Turing Test|Turing Test}}, in which person tries to distinguish between a machine and a human by asking questions.<br />
* [[Hermes Conrad|Hermes]] says that [[Amy Wong|Amy]] (in the body of Leela) "makes {{w|Fat Albert and the Cosby Kids|Fat Albert}} look like normal Albert". This may also be a callback to Fry's line, "He makes Speedy Gonzales look like regular Gonzales" from the episode "[[War Is the H-Word]]".<br />
* [[Big Bertha]], a robot with a cannon stomach, is a reference to the German {{w|Big Bertha (howitzer)|Big Bertha howitzer}}.<br />
* The idea of one-way-mind-swapping-machine is very similar to the one in the {{w|Stargate_SG-1|Stargate SG-1}} Season Two episode "Holiday". However, in that instance, the limitation was a feature of the machine's design rather than the bodies' development of a resistance.<br />
* The concept of a member of royalty temporarily switching lives with an ordinary person is similar to the story {{w|The Prince and the Pauper}}.<br />
* The UN Conference is portrayed as nightclub act in Vegas with the opening act delivered by "Peaches and Herzegovina" which is a play on both the name of Eastern European nation {{w|Bosnia and Herzegovina}} and American disco/soul duo "{{w|Peaches & Herb}}".<br />
* An occurrence of mind switching was seen in the original {{w|Star_trek|Star Trek}} series in a third season episode called {{w|Turnabout_Intruder|"Turnabout Intruder"}}. James T. Kirk's body is forcefully taken by Dr. Janice Lester (a former lover of Kirk's) and Kirk is forced to use Lester's body to convince the crew members of the mind change. Among other issues, Lester's and Kirk's voices remain in their respective bodies, so swaying crew members' beliefs of the switch proves difficult.<br />
* [[Leela]] parodies the lyrics of the spoken intro of Sir Mix-a-Lot's "''Baby got back''" when she talks about her eye.<br />
<br />
=== Trivia ===<br />
* This is the third episode of [[Season 6]] to use a [[cold opening]] (alongside "[[Rebirth]]" and "[[That Darn Katz!]]"). Cold openings were previously used most prominently in Seasons [[Season 1|1]] and [[Season 2|2]].<br />
* This is the third animated TV show in which a character voiced by John DiMaggio switches bodies with someone and the voice moves with the character into the new body. The other two were the "Kim Possible" episode "Mind Games", which originally aired in 2002, with DiMaggio voicing Dr. Drakken and the "Penguins Of Madagascar" episode "Roger Doger", aired in 2009, with DiMaggio voicing Rico.<br />
* When Amy (in the Professor's body) is eating ribs, she says "I have died" in Cantonese.<br />
<br />
=== Continuity ===<br />
* This is the third time Leela has shown concern about her eye, the previous being "[[The Cyber House Rules]]" and "''[[Bender's Big Score]]''".<br />
* Yet again [[Amy Wong|Amy's]] childhood obesity is a theme, previously mentioned in episodes such as "[[Teenage Mutant Leela's Hurdles]]" and "''[[Into the Wild Green Yonder]]''".<br />
* [[Bender Bending Rodriguez|Bender]] claims he is sixty percent storage space. [[Bender Bending Rodríguez#Composition|A recurring joke]] is that someone claims Bender is a certain percent of something, with the total by now adding up to much more than 100%.<br />
* [[Philip J. Fry|Fry]] seems to be excited by the idea of [[Turanga Leela|Leela's]] mind in [[Amy Wong|Amy's]] body, a revisiting to the [[Fry-Amy relationship]].<br />
* [[Professor Hubert J. Farnsworth|The Professor]] calls [[Bender Bending Rodriguez|Bender's]] body invincible, though only a few episodes earlier ("[[Lethal Inspection]]") we found out that it wasn't.<br />
** Of course, in comparison to the Professor's old and decrepit body, he may be feeling like he is invincible in Bender's (as it can certainly stand up to much more punishment than his own 170+ -years-old body). It could simply be a matter of perception, not actual "invincibility".<br />
** If you remember, in "[[Rebirth]]", Bender was blown up by one of the Professor's doomsday devices. He also had 2 bombs detonate inside his compartment in "[[War Is the H-Word]]". Another display of the bending units durability is in "[[Bendless Love]]", Flexo was crushed under an unbendable girder and later stated that if he had remained crushed he would have died in hundreds of years, proving that the bending units are very near invincible. The only known way being via his self-destruct button which is located on his body as revealed in "[[A Head in the Polls]]" or the destruct code revealed in "[[Where No Fan Has Gone Before]]".<br />
* The episode brings a big step in the [[Fry-Leela relationship]], as they have sex for the first time known, though it should be noted that neither is in their own body at the time.<br />
** This is the first time the two have had intercourse in canon, but in "[[Anthology of Interest I]]", during the simulation "Dial L For Leela", Leela was forced to keep Fry silent about the recent murders she committed by having sex with Fry, while in their own bodies. However, "Anthology Of Interest I" can't be regarded as canon as it was during a "what-if" scenario.<br />
** In "[[Time Keeps on Slippin']]" Fry and Leela married and divorced. It is likely they consummated their union, though the time-slips prevented them from remembering.<br />
*** This is very unlikely, as Fry and Leela do not remember why they got married and Leela goes under the impression that Fry tricked her during the whole time lapse between the marriage and the divorce.<br />
* The Professor is shown using a mind-switching device back in ''[[Bender's Game]]'', but since he is seen here as having just completed it, he must have still been testing it (and subsequently killing monkeys) back then. Though this device remained attached to the monkey and the Professor the whole time. This may not have been actual mind transference, or this may have been a prototype device.<br />
* In "[[Bendless Love]]" Bender claims to remember his own birth, having been built "four years ago" in 2998. Later in "[[Lethal Inspection]]"; a very different construction of Bender is remembered by Hermes, although no year is given Hermes looks like he did at the 2980 Olympics. This episode shows that Hermes, having gained weight and cut his hair, was employed at Planet Express and was employee of the year in 2993, 2994, 2996 and 2998. Bender also confirmed not remembering seeing Hermes as Inspector #5. Therefore we can conclude that the events of "Lethal Inspection" occurred prior to 2993 or early in that year, Bender does not remember his real birth and Bending Units of his model were, for reasons unknown, built in two or more phases with core components, such as the backup unit, being retained during an upgrade to a larger and possibly more specialised body.<br />
* Amy is shown as [[Planet Express]] Employee of The Year in 2992 and 2997, but she has only been [[Professor Hubert J. Farnsworth|the Professor]]'s intern since 2998.<br />
** Amy could have been working as a different employee for him before becoming his intern.<br />
* Someone in the crowd shouts, "I LOVE YOU, YOUR MAJESTY!!!" Bender, in the Emperor's body, replies, "Shut up, Madame Ambassador, I know it." This is a callback to a similar gag in "[[Put Your Head on My Shoulder]]".<br />
*[[Bender]] says that he has always dreamed of becoming an Emperor. This may explain why he dressed up himself as {{w|Napoleon Bonaparte|Napoleon}} in "[[Insane in the Mainframe]]".<br />
<br />
=== Goofs ===<br />
*Fry and Bender's apartment, which has the same number as before, looks much different from earlier appearances (as in "[[The Late Philip J. Fry]]"). While previously being a small apartment (Bender's room) with a giant sideroom (Fry's), it now does not have the small apartment and it includes a kitchen. (The kitchen had been seen previously, such as in ''[[Bender's Game]]''.)<br />
**It is possible that it was among the buildings destroyed to create the panda preserve in ''[[Bender's Big Score]]'', then rebuilt to different specifications.<br />
*When Bertha is wheeling away after the first time the Professor, in Bender's body, propositions switching to a younger body, only one of her wheels are actually the turning, the one furthest from the viewer is stationary even while the other is not.<br />
*It was established in the episode "[[Why Must I Be a Crustacean in Love]]" that, once a male [[Decapodians|Decapodian]] releases his male jelly, he dies. However, in this episode, Fry, who was in Zoidberg's body, wound up having intercourse with Leela, who was in the Professor's body, and did not die. <br />
**It could be that, to die, a Decapodian needs to mate with another Decapodian.<br />
**It could be that, Leela was keen to use her new appendage, therefore it would be Farnsworth's male jelly, not Zoidberg's, that was released.<br />
**Mating and having sex are not necessarily the same thing for all species. The releasing of male jelly might be voluntary.<br />
**[[Dr. John A. Zoidberg|Zoidberg's]] male jelly may only be produced during his mating season. Making it so that there was nothing to release. As for the male jelly in "[[Why Must I Be a Crustacean in Love]]", his body probably broke it down and reabsorbed it as in nature.<br />
*When finishing the proof, Sweet Clyde is shown to wear glasses however in the remaining shots of the episodes these glasses never appear again.<br />
*After everyone swaps back into their original bodies, Hermes is as fat as usual.<br />
**Given how abnormally fast he lost the weight originally, he could have gained it back just as fast.<br />
* The proof contains a minor typo: instead of "For any i=1 ... k" it should read "For any i=1 ... k-1". The algorithm fails for i=k, but this does not effect the validity of the proof.<br />

{{User:Buddy13/sig}} I don't mind the strikethroug gags, but I'm not sure it's appropriate on this page. I mean, he ''is'' addicted, isn't he? In fact, isn't "Highly addictive" part of their advertising?<br />
<br />
{{User:Gopher/sig}} ... I dunno. I was thinking of it as suggesting an edit by "censors" but since one of their slogans is "It's highly addictive!" it does seem a bit odd.<br />

The Slurm logo has been referenced in animated short film [http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1563725 Logorama] (at time around 2:17).<br />
However, I have no idea whether it is appropriate to mention it here.<br />
[[Special:Contributions/188.112.107.223|188.112.107.223]] 14:57, 16 March 2010 (CET)<br />

<br />
== Appearances ==<br />
What are we putting in the appearances list? Are we including every time you see a can of Slurm or advertisement for it? Or only when its mentioned? Since the list is so short, I can't tell if its just incomplete or there is some way its being sorted. I know there is a poster for it in the pilot and Fry is drinking it in When Aliens Attack off the top of my head. There is also the vending machine robot in Mother's Day (assume that's on the page for the robot, though). Otherwise, I would just start adding everyplace Fry is drinking it.&mdash;'''[[User:JediRogue|Jedi<font color=red>&hearts;</font>Rogue]]''' 02:57, 28 December 2010 (CET)<br />
:Yes, this list should have cans, posters, ads and vending machines, but has been incomplete for quite some time. as the page states though, we're not including the opening sequence. - [[User:Quolnok|Quolnok]] 13:02, 28 December 2010 (CET)<br />
::However, Slurm appears in every episode. Outside the opening sequence. --'''[[User:Svip|Svip]]'''<sup>[[User talk:Svip|talk]]</sup> 13:17, 28 December 2010 (CET)<br />
:::It does? I can't find it in every episode, but I can find it in a lot not listed here. I suggest we list all episode with a little note, like those already there (such as ''on a poster in Fry's apartment''). [[User:Aki|Aki]] 16:51, 28 December 2010 (CET)<br />
::::I haven't noticed it in ''every'' episode, but I wouldn't be surprised if it was.

:::If Slurm appears in every episode, then the Appearances list would obviously be pointless here. Someone better confirm it.

[[User:San Saber|San Saber]] 14:44, 29 December 2010 (CET)<br />
<br />
Slurm appears in every episode, either directly or indirectly. Be on a truck in a time lapse shot (a lot of these where we just view the PE from the outside with a Slurm truck), a poster, another form of commercial, a mention or an actual can. I know this is true in the original run, not sure if it is true since the films. --'''[[User:Svip|Svip]]'''<sup>[[User talk:Svip|talk]]</sup> 17:48, 29 December 2010 (CET)<br />
:I guess I'll check it out, then. I'm absolutely sure Slurm is in all films, but I'm still going to watch them again. (It's a good excuse, isn't it?) Season 6 will follow. (My God, I really am a ''Futurama'' nerd!) [[User:San Saber|San Saber]] 18:19, 29 December 2010 (CET)<br />
::If it was worked into every episode, I would say that it is a [[:Category:Recurring jokes|recurring element]] for one.

:I plan to check all episodes through and note down where Slurm is seen. If you are right, it seems like it's actually planned to go into all the episodes, as in "where do we put it in this one".

== Removed possible wrong line ==<br />
<br />
*In The Simpsons Game Cletus mentions losing a fiddle contest to a "[[Robot Devil|red feller]]"<br />
This ''could'' be a reference to the Robot Devil, all the more likely, it's simply a reference to [[wikipedia:The Devil Went Down to Georgia|The Devil Went Down to Georgia]], it's just that both Futurama and The Simpsons Game referenced the same material. You guys can put it back in, but it's highly unlikely that this is ''really'' a direct Futurama reference.<br />

== Daily Growl? ==<br />
<br />
Both Simpsons and Futurama mentioned the Daily Growl. The Simpsons mentioned it in a recent episode, [[wikipedia:Double, Double, Boy in Trouble|Double, Double, Boy in Trouble]], so I'm guessing that maybe they referenced Futurama maybe? Unless it is already here... Or Futurama referenced it from somewhere else... Chris of the Futurama 02:23, 26 January 2009 (UTC)<br />

<br />
Very subtle one. In the Simpsons episode 'Mayored to the Mob', Uter wears a T-shirt bearing the Futurama logo [http://www.eeggs.com/images/items/2341.full.jpg]. There may be more references to Futurama in the sci-fi convention in that episode, but that's the only one I recall off the top of my head. [[User:Sordyne|Sordyne]] 01:57, 18 April 2009 (UTC)<br />

== Homer Loves Flanders ==<br />
[[File:Simpsons 1F14 Killbot Factory.jpg|right|thumb|U.S. Army -- The Kill-bot Factory]]<br />
<br />
In Simpsons episode 1F14 aka "Homer Loves Flanders" (season 5), Kent Brockman opens the episode with an "Eye on Springfield" report about the United States Army and a base near Springfield. He dubs them the "Kill-bot Factory", in his typical sensational fashion. Obviously, [[Killbot]]s would later make appearances and mentions in Futurama. Just wanted to see what anyone else thought about including this in the article. -- [[User:DeepSpaceHomer|DeepSpaceHomer]] 04:10, 30 December 2010 (CET)<br />

:Does the captcha on new page creation go away or is that just a permanent feature for everyone? Also, if you are going to explain how to do a custom sig, I would probably explain that you can set the preferences to substitute a template (or include but crowded talk pages with a ton of included sigs could get slow) before telling a person to use a template on their own. Its probably slightly easier on the new user. Finally, thanks for linking to your standards and style in the welcoming message.

I'm sorry. Though I still believe that the Globetrotters are not humans, I accept the only evidence that exists, which is the mention you brought up. I apologize again for my baseless insistence. [[User:ProfessorBlank|ProfessorBlank]] 20:34, 8 August 2009 (UTC)<br />

::Hmm, that IS odd; if we do start using infobox templates on most articles we should really figure out what's causing the difference, like you I've never seen a MediaWiki setup that DIDN'T allow the much more readable multi-line format for templates.

Svip, I wanted to thank you for cleaning up some of my entries! I am really enjoying being apart of this wiki and want to help expand the available knowledge that available to the community as best as I can!<br />

When I create a new entry, I generally search for a related entry and copy it's formating. I've noticed that you've been standardizing my entries (thanks again) - Are there templates out there that I should be referring to, or is this all in your head?<br />
:Sadly, there are no templates as of right now, but I have been considering writing [[Infosphere:Standard formatting]] which would explain how to write any type of article. But... I guess I have been too lazy. But maybe it is about time I did something about that. "Protesting never works." "You're right... I'll give it a shot!"

== Request ==<br />
<br />
Hello, Svip. I am LAAFan on [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:LAAFan the English Wikipedia] I just had a failed request for adminship there, and am looking for more experience. I was wondering if I could be a sysop on the Infosphere. Here are my stats from the English Wikipedia:<br />
<br />
*I have rollback rights<br />
*I have a triple crown (Featured article, good article, and did you know)<br />
*I am currently being Admin Coached.<br />
<br />
If granted, I would help out here, ultimately for the goal of adding it to my resume for an RFA at Wikipedia. If you want proof I'm LAAFan, just ask. I hope this request can be granted.--[[User:LAAFan|LAAFan]] 20:21, 13 September 2008 (BST)<br />
:I do not doubt who you are. However, you may be in consideration for sysop if we ever were to obtain another. Though, I am not seeing the need, as of right now, and personally, we'd prefer if you actually prove yourself worthy to be a sysop. It took me the good deal of 8 months to get to the status. So, let us see what you can do, and let me discuss with the other sysops. --'''[[User:Svip|Svip]]'''<sup>[[User talk:Svip|Talk]]</sup> 20:25, 13 September 2008 (BST)<br />

I may have recalled it wrong, but if you watch the animatic for BBS, I think Farnsworth says it has been 2 years and not 4, meaning it was expected to be released in 2005 and not 2007. That's what I recall anyway.[[User:Anarchy Balsac|Anarchy Balsac]] 23:07, 25 February 2009 (UTC)<br />
:I admit, that did quirk me originally. But given how work began in 2006, it would have been impossible without time travel for them to release it in 2005. In addition to that, 3007 does appear as a year in the first film, 3009 also appears in the last film. They clearly knew when they were expecting them. The 2 years ago from Farnsworth could be that the company continued to function 2 years after it was cancelled as a show, and the two years off from Fry could just be another indicator that he doesn't really remember correctly. It is odd, but I find it more likely to be purposefully rather than not. --'''[[User:Svip|Svip]]'''<sup>[[User talk:Svip|Talk]]</sup> 10:42, 26 February 2009 (UTC)<br />

<br />
== Your hostility towards a new user ==<br />
<br />
I don't know what your issue is, but just because I speak, spell and favor American English doesn't make me "some sort of jerk" as you asked while undoing an edit on a talk page that you weren't even involved in. [http://theinfosphere.org/index.php?title=User_talk:75.82.24.159&action=history] [[User:Quolnok|Quolnok]] failed to provide a reference showing that there is an official Infosphere rule that that "does not permit the changing of correct English text", and his claim that "a large portion of our visitors prefer the other [British English] style" is biased and unfounded.<br />
<br />
Facts that can't be disputed are that ''Futurama'' is an American show; written by American writers and performed by American voice actors. It is not a British, Canadian or Australian show. Therefore it is only logical that American English be used in context to the series. Second, most of the world speaks/writes American English [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/English_language#Geographical_distribution] with numbers of over 215 million (in the US only, this number doesn't include the Philippines, Puerto Rico, Guam or the US Virgin Islands) people speaking American English as a first language by far outnumbering the sum of the UK (58 mil), Canada (18 mil) and Australia (16 mil) combined. These data are empirical: they can't be disputed. Quolnok's statement is subjective, and can be disputed. Please try to realize that this doesn't make me a jerk.<br />
<br />
I have personally been to England, and am well aware of the spelling and syntax differences that exist between the dialects of American and British English. [[Special:Contributions/75.82.24.159|75.82.24.159]] 08:36, 27 April 2010 (CEST)<br />
:We have nothing against the usage of American English, however, we consider edits which only purpose is to change the English variant useless and will only result in disputes (see [http://theinfosphere.org/Infosphere:Frequently_Asked_Questions#faq-english FAQ], [[Infosphere:Manual of Style#Any English goes|Manual of Style]] and [[Infosphere:Rules#General editing rules|Rules]]).<br />
:Your argument that ''Futurama'' is an American show is perhaps... useless. It's up to the editors who contribute to the wiki to choose which English they write it and are comfortable with. And on this wiki in particular, British and Australian English are the majority. Your argument that the amount of American English speaking people should be any point to make as well is also questionable, I find it unlikely that any of these are potential audience.<br />
:So while Quolnok probably should have provided you with links (as I have), he is a Sysop, and basically what he says should be regarded as the rules of the land. So on your time this happened, we just friendly told you that such edits were discouraged and we assumed that would be the end of it, but since you continued to make the same type of edits, I assumed it was some sort of 'rebel sentiment' against rules you did not like. That is more a type of acting like a jerk than actually contribution to a decision you do not like. Good day. --'''[[User:Svip|Svip]]'''<sup>[[User talk:Svip|talk]]</sup> 09:36, 27 April 2010 (CEST)<br />
::Indeed, I did fail to point to the rule, which I probably should have. [[I:MOS#Any_English_goes|Here it is]]. It is also true that Svip might have violated [[I:R#Talk_rules]] in his response as well. But there's also an unwritten rule about not changing other peoples comments on talk pages except to remove vulgarities and such things. While it can only be seen by administrators, the Google Analytics data shows us that approximately 50% of people who visit the site are in the USA. This rule may seem odd, and it is a little. At the time it was introduced the active users discussed it, there was a slightly higher number of EN-UK preferring people, including the three active members of the administrative team (a [[User:Buddy13|US American]], an [[User:Quolnok|Australian]] and a [[User:Svip|Dane]]). This way everyone is equally unhappy. By all means, use your favoured spelling, just don't remove the others' (the only exception being the EN-AU spelling of "gaol" for "jail", only we use that and it's falling out of favour anyway). - [[User:Quolnok|Quolnok]] 09:56, 27 April 2010 (CEST)<br />
:::Svip, please realize that your behavior is inappropriate and uncalled for. Due to the rude and unfriendly nature of my almost immediate experiences here, I have no wish to create an account and frequent this site as I am now left with the impression that quick assumptions and name-calling are regular occurrences here, especially in light of you being in a position of authority. [[Special:Contributions/75.82.24.159|75.82.24.159]] 10:51, 27 April 2010 (CEST)<br />
::::I understand I may have been a bit over the top. But instead of just changing a Sysop's comment to an English you favour, you should have responded to his comment, even if your measure was to challenge the rule or demand pages describing the rule. Since you did not do that (and you did catch me on a particular bad day to begin with (but that is no excuse)), I felt you were treating my fellow Sysop with disrespect and that actually frustrated me.<br />
::::But you are free not to join our site if you wish. No one is forcing you in, just don't be disrespectful against a Sysop who was actually being friendly. Then you will just get someone like me who doesn't really tolerate that sort of thing. --'''[[User:Svip|Svip]]'''<sup>[[User talk:Svip|talk]]</sup> 10:56, 27 April 2010 (CEST)<br />
:::::I'm sorry to hear you had a bad day, but how does that justify name-calling? Being in a position of authority here, you should be well aware that name-calling only leads to flame wars and useless banter (such as this). <br />
<br />
:::::There are a few problems I've had with the attitudes and ideals shown to me in my short time here that I find quite disturbing. Some of the edits I made before I received Quolnok's initial message were from finding pages that included both American and British English. [[Scruffy]]'s page for example, uses both the American "color" and the British "colour". When I edited that page I was merely standardizing. After doing such on Scruffy's page and few others I received a message from Quolnok which told me that I couldn't change the spelling, only to subsequently find that Quolnok reverted the edits, effectively doing the very thing that he told me ''I'' couldn't do. The double standard was quite disturbing, especially in light of it being almost immediate. On top of that, he gave me no reference, and being a new user, how was I supposed to know that he's in a position of authority (Sysop), and not simply an Anglophile who dislikes American spellings? [[Special:Contributions/75.82.24.159|75.82.24.159]] 11:21, 27 April 2010 (CEST)<br />
<br />
::::::A few points;<br />
::::::# I already apologised for the name calling. And I said my bad day was no excuse as well. I was just providing a reason, not an excuse.<br />
::::::# If your edit to the Scruffy article is so, then you should have written that in the edit summary below your edits box, to describe that you were 'merely standardising' the article. In fact, you should have said so when Quolnok addressed you.<br />
::::::# There is no double standard; undoing an edit is a feature of how this wiki system works, it's to avoid things getting out of hands, as the links I provided you with would also testify, we specifically warn that such edits would indeed be reverted if not provided with a reasoning to do so. Reverting your edits was not doing what you couldn't do, but changing the article back to an earlier state.<br />
::::::# In addition, Quolnok is listed in the [[Infosphere:About]] page, which provides you with a list of the three main active Sysops.<br />
::::::Now while I don't expect new users to know all the rules, I might expect them to check out whoever they are talking to (clicking on Quolnok's user page link would also have told you he is a Sysop). But when a Sysop tells you did something wrong, don't just ignore it, respond, even if you are right in your actions; respond. Sysops are humans too, we make mistakes too. --'''[[User:Svip|Svip]]'''<sup>[[User talk:Svip|talk]]</sup> 11:30, 27 April 2010 (CEST)<br />
:::::::I'm not saying that I was "right" and that Quolnok was "wrong". I didn't state anything in the edits box as I was merely (from an American English standpoint) correcting spelling errors. Sure, I could of stated that I standardizing, but felt no need to do so. I naturally had no idea that this was as big of deal here as it apparently is. So seeing Quolnok undo my edits ''appeared'' to be a double-standard, which rubbed me the wrong way so I lost any initiative to look further in this site. [[Special:Contributions/75.82.24.159|75.82.24.159]] 11:40, 27 April 2010 (CEST)<br />
<br />
::::::::Which is why your edits had no initial consequence and Quolnok wrote to you in a friendly manner. We don't expect people to know all the rules when they are new users, but when they do accidentally break them, we inform you on that. But if we didn't revert the edits, what point are the rules then? I understand not writing in the edit summary, but I fail to understand not responding to Quolnok's comment and explaining what you were doing. --'''[[User:Svip|Svip]]'''<sup>[[User talk:Svip|talk]]</sup> 11:45, 27 April 2010 (CEST)<br />

<br />
::::::::::Then there is nothing we can do, because Quolnok was doing what he was supposed to do based on what he knew.

I assume this discussion is done, yes? --'''[[User:Svip|Svip]]'''<sup>[[User talk:Svip|talk]]</sup> 11:59, 27 April 2010 (CEST)<br />
<br />
:::::::::::My point is simply that there should have been a standardized message left giving some insight toward Quolnok's authority and the history explaining the use of spelling variations (including links to the rules) that should have been originally left on my talk page.

== Good call ==<br />

Hi,<br />
I am just saying, good call for not joining Wikia. If you have a look on Community Central, there is chaos due to Wikia announcing their new horrible skin. Good call for not merging with Futurama wiki. [[Special:Contributions/92.7.194.78|92.7.194.78]] 23:09, 29 September 2010 (CEST)<br />
:Well, I often speak to people who have engaged with Wikia in the past, and the universal sentiment I get is: 'Don't make the mistake we did; Don't join them'. I decided to ask on issues I was concerned about; ads, skin, control and such. And they could not say they could promise anything. In fact, almost the opposite.<br />
:Part of Wikia's problem is its philosophy. And I am not just talking about being ''for''-profit. Wikia feel that its most important user is its editors. And while I agree that editors are very important on wikis, they are not what the wikis are actually designed for; the readers. You see, Wikia is pretty good looking if you are an editor (no ads, easy buttons for editing and so on), but it looks horrendous if you are just there for reading articles, which -- they have to admit -- is sort of the point.<br />
:I understand the advantages with a merge, but in contrast they are insignificant or not important. This server is running pretty good, I should say. --'''[[User:Svip|Svip]]'''<sup>[[User talk:Svip|talk]]</sup> 00:27, 30 September 2010 (CEST)<br />

You may remember me from the Wikia Futurama wiki but, I am happy to tell you, I have left Wikia and have been perma blocked there anyway.

If we could even become closer than that and become an affiliate of you, we would be grateful. At the moment, we are in the queue to be moved to ShoutWiki but, if you reply, I will tell you when the content has been moved over. <br />

Thanks you fixing my mistakes. About the grammar, I am still unsure about the correct usage. Wikipedia and the internet tend to give conflicting information. The manual of style didn't have anything on the issue either. But if that's what the wiki is going with. Just looking for some continuity.<br />
:Generally speaking, you avoid an additional s if the word already ends on an s. For instance, how do you pluralise 'class', you don't just add an extra s, because it is a special case.<br />
:Now it is true that there are some arguments whether this only applies to regular nouns and not proper nouns, but I really don't see the need for making the rules more confusing. --'''[[User:Svip|Svip]]'''<sup>[[User talk:Svip|talk]]</sup> 11:15, 8 November 2010 (CET)<br />

== Produciton ==<br />
<br />
Hi, Svip. As you probably know, the year articles have this recurring typo, ''Produciton''. I was wondering if you could have your bot take care of it, 'cause, you know, I don't think anyone here feels like changing those [http://www.theinfosphere.org/index.php?title=Special%3ASearch&redirs=0&search=Produciton&fulltext=Search&ns0=1&ns1=1&ns2=1&ns3=1&ns4=1&ns5=1&ns6=1&ns7=1&ns8=1&ns9=1&ns10=1&ns11=1&ns12=1&ns13=1&ns14=1&ns15=1&ns100=1&ns101=1&ns102=1&ns103=1&ns104=1&ns105=1&ns106=1&ns107=1&ns110=1&ns111=1 75] pages. (I've been counting them...) [[User:San Saber|San Saber]] 14:44, 19 December 2010 (CET)<br />
<br />
:Consider its usage on insignificant articles, I am going to give it a pass. Since it is largely accredited to one contributor for all those years articles, I am going to assume he too misspelt it. As such, I will probably let it slide. Besides, it is not my intend for the bot to fix spelling. That always ends in a huge mess. --'''[[User:Svip|Svip]]'''<sup>[[User talk:Svip|talk]]</sup> 14:50, 19 December 2010 (CET)<br />

::::I noticed this error awhile back and fixed it when I saw it. If you are going to start going through them I'll help also. Why pages were made beyond 2010 seems a bit strange. I understand that it was made on a template but it seems stupid to apply it for all these dates. I sincerely doubt that Futurama will be around in 2030 and having a section for in universe info when the show is based in the 31st century makes a lot of these pages useless.

== Request ==<br />
<br />
Hello, Svip. I am LAAFan on [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:LAAFan the English Wikipedia] I just had a failed request for adminship there, and am looking for more experience. I was wondering if I could be a sysop on the Infosphere. Here are my stats from the English Wikipedia:<br />
<br />
*I have rollback rights<br />
*I have a triple crown (Featured article, good article, and did you know)<br />
*I am currently being Admin Coached.<br />
<br />
If granted, I would help out here, ultimately for the goal of adding it to my resume for an RFA at Wikipedia. If you want proof I'm LAAFan, just ask. I hope this request can be granted.--[[User:LAAFan|LAAFan]] 20:21, 13 September 2008 (BST)<br />
:I do not doubt who you are. However, you may be in consideration for sysop if we ever were to obtain another. Though, I am not seeing the need, as of right now, and personally, we'd prefer if you actually prove yourself worthy to be a sysop. It took me the good deal of 8 months to get to the status. So, let us see what you can do, and let me discuss with the other sysops. --'''[[User:Svip|Svip]]'''<sup>[[User talk:Svip|Talk]]</sup> 20:25, 13 September 2008 (BST)<br />

I may have recalled it wrong, but if you watch the animatic for BBS, I think Farnsworth says it has been 2 years and not 4, meaning it was expected to be released in 2005 and not 2007. That's what I recall anyway.[[User:Anarchy Balsac|Anarchy Balsac]] 23:07, 25 February 2009 (UTC)<br />
:I admit, that did quirk me originally. But given how work began in 2006, it would have been impossible without time travel for them to release it in 2005. In addition to that, 3007 does appear as a year in the first film, 3009 also appears in the last film. They clearly knew when they were expecting them. The 2 years ago from Farnsworth could be that the company continued to function 2 years after it was cancelled as a show, and the two years off from Fry could just be another indicator that he doesn't really remember correctly. It is odd, but I find it more likely to be purposefully rather than not. --'''[[User:Svip|Svip]]'''<sup>[[User talk:Svip|Talk]]</sup> 10:42, 26 February 2009 (UTC)<br />

Sorry for using yor talk page but I tell this to you because you're one of the administrators. Help! I'm [[User:TheFry|TheFry]]! I don't know why but [[The Infosphere (website)|The Infosphere]] does not recognize my account. It does when I enter to my user page but in the rest of the pages it marks me as not logged in.

<br />
== Your hostility towards a new user ==<br />
<br />
I don't know what your issue is, but just because I speak, spell and favor American English doesn't make me "some sort of jerk" as you asked while undoing an edit on a talk page that you weren't even involved in. [http://theinfosphere.org/index.php?title=User_talk:75.82.24.159&action=history] [[User:Quolnok|Quolnok]] failed to provide a reference showing that there is an official Infosphere rule that that "does not permit the changing of correct English text", and his claim that "a large portion of our visitors prefer the other [British English] style" is biased and unfounded.<br />
<br />
Facts that can't be disputed are that ''Futurama'' is an American show; written by American writers and performed by American voice actors. It is not a British, Canadian or Australian show. Therefore it is only logical that American English be used in context to the series. Second, most of the world speaks/writes American English [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/English_language#Geographical_distribution] with numbers of over 215 million (in the US only, this number doesn't include the Philippines, Puerto Rico, Guam or the US Virgin Islands) people speaking American English as a first language by far outnumbering the sum of the UK (58 mil), Canada (18 mil) and Australia (16 mil) combined. These data are empirical: they can't be disputed. Quolnok's statement is subjective, and can be disputed. Please try to realize that this doesn't make me a jerk.<br />
<br />
I have personally been to England, and am well aware of the spelling and syntax differences that exist between the dialects of American and British English. [[Special:Contributions/75.82.24.159|75.82.24.159]] 08:36, 27 April 2010 (CEST)<br />
:We have nothing against the usage of American English, however, we consider edits which only purpose is to change the English variant useless and will only result in disputes (see [http://theinfosphere.org/Infosphere:Frequently_Asked_Questions#faq-english FAQ], [[Infosphere:Manual of Style#Any English goes|Manual of Style]] and [[Infosphere:Rules#General editing rules|Rules]]).<br />
:Your argument that ''Futurama'' is an American show is perhaps... useless. It's up to the editors who contribute to the wiki to choose which English they write it and are comfortable with. And on this wiki in particular, British and Australian English are the majority. Your argument that the amount of American English speaking people should be any point to make as well is also questionable, I find it unlikely that any of these are potential audience.<br />
:So while Quolnok probably should have provided you with links (as I have), he is a Sysop, and basically what he says should be regarded as the rules of the land. So on your time this happened, we just friendly told you that such edits were discouraged and we assumed that would be the end of it, but since you continued to make the same type of edits, I assumed it was some sort of 'rebel sentiment' against rules you did not like. That is more a type of acting like a jerk than actually contribution to a decision you do not like. Good day. --'''[[User:Svip|Svip]]'''<sup>[[User talk:Svip|talk]]</sup> 09:36, 27 April 2010 (CEST)<br />
::Indeed, I did fail to point to the rule, which I probably should have. [[I:MOS#Any_English_goes|Here it is]]. It is also true that Svip might have violated [[I:R#Talk_rules]] in his response as well. But there's also an unwritten rule about not changing other peoples comments on talk pages except to remove vulgarities and such things. While it can only be seen by administrators, the Google Analytics data shows us that approximately 50% of people who visit the site are in the USA. This rule may seem odd, and it is a little. At the time it was introduced the active users discussed it, there was a slightly higher number of EN-UK preferring people, including the three active members of the administrative team (a [[User:Buddy13|US American]], an [[User:Quolnok|Australian]] and a [[User:Svip|Dane]]). This way everyone is equally unhappy. By all means, use your favoured spelling, just don't remove the others' (the only exception being the EN-AU spelling of "gaol" for "jail", only we use that and it's falling out of favour anyway). - [[User:Quolnok|Quolnok]] 09:56, 27 April 2010 (CEST)<br />
:::Svip, please realize that your behavior is inappropriate and uncalled for. Due to the rude and unfriendly nature of my almost immediate experiences here, I have no wish to create an account and frequent this site as I am now left with the impression that quick assumptions and name-calling are regular occurrences here, especially in light of you being in a position of authority. [[Special:Contributions/75.82.24.159|75.82.24.159]] 10:51, 27 April 2010 (CEST)<br />
::::I understand I may have been a bit over the top. But instead of just changing a Sysop's comment to an English you favour, you should have responded to his comment, even if your measure was to challenge the rule or demand pages describing the rule. Since you did not do that (and you did catch me on a particular bad day to begin with (but that is no excuse)), I felt you were treating my fellow Sysop with disrespect and that actually frustrated me.<br />
::::But you are free not to join our site if you wish. No one is forcing you in, just don't be disrespectful against a Sysop who was actually being friendly. Then you will just get someone like me who doesn't really tolerate that sort of thing. --'''[[User:Svip|Svip]]'''<sup>[[User talk:Svip|talk]]</sup> 10:56, 27 April 2010 (CEST)<br />
:::::I'm sorry to hear you had a bad day, but how does that justify name-calling? Being in a position of authority here, you should be well aware that name-calling only leads to flame wars and useless banter (such as this). <br />
<br />
:::::There are a few problems I've had with the attitudes and ideals shown to me in my short time here that I find quite disturbing. Some of the edits I made before I received Quolnok's initial message were from finding pages that included both American and British English. [[Scruffy]]'s page for example, uses both the American "color" and the British "colour". When I edited that page I was merely standardizing. After doing such on Scruffy's page and few others I received a message from Quolnok which told me that I couldn't change the spelling, only to subsequently find that Quolnok reverted the edits, effectively doing the very thing that he told me ''I'' couldn't do. The double standard was quite disturbing, especially in light of it being almost immediate. On top of that, he gave me no reference, and being a new user, how was I supposed to know that he's in a position of authority (Sysop), and not simply an Anglophile who dislikes American spellings? [[Special:Contributions/75.82.24.159|75.82.24.159]] 11:21, 27 April 2010 (CEST)<br />
<br />
::::::A few points;<br />
::::::# I already apologised for the name calling. And I said my bad day was no excuse as well. I was just providing a reason, not an excuse.<br />
::::::# If your edit to the Scruffy article is so, then you should have written that in the edit summary below your edits box, to describe that you were 'merely standardising' the article. In fact, you should have said so when Quolnok addressed you.<br />
::::::# There is no double standard; undoing an edit is a feature of how this wiki system works, it's to avoid things getting out of hands, as the links I provided you with would also testify, we specifically warn that such edits would indeed be reverted if not provided with a reasoning to do so. Reverting your edits was not doing what you couldn't do, but changing the article back to an earlier state.<br />
::::::# In addition, Quolnok is listed in the [[Infosphere:About]] page, which provides you with a list of the three main active Sysops.<br />
::::::Now while I don't expect new users to know all the rules, I might expect them to check out whoever they are talking to (clicking on Quolnok's user page link would also have told you he is a Sysop). But when a Sysop tells you did something wrong, don't just ignore it, respond, even if you are right in your actions; respond. Sysops are humans too, we make mistakes too. --'''[[User:Svip|Svip]]'''<sup>[[User talk:Svip|talk]]</sup> 11:30, 27 April 2010 (CEST)<br />
:::::::I'm not saying that I was "right" and that Quolnok was "wrong". I didn't state anything in the edits box as I was merely (from an American English standpoint) correcting spelling errors. Sure, I could of stated that I standardizing, but felt no need to do so. I naturally had no idea that this was as big of deal here as it apparently is. So seeing Quolnok undo my edits ''appeared'' to be a double-standard, which rubbed me the wrong way so I lost any initiative to look further in this site. [[Special:Contributions/75.82.24.159|75.82.24.159]] 11:40, 27 April 2010 (CEST)<br />
<br />
::::::::Which is why your edits had no initial consequence and Quolnok wrote to you in a friendly manner. We don't expect people to know all the rules when they are new users, but when they do accidentally break them, we inform you on that. But if we didn't revert the edits, what point are the rules then? I understand not writing in the edit summary, but I fail to understand not responding to Quolnok's comment and explaining what you were doing. --'''[[User:Svip|Svip]]'''<sup>[[User talk:Svip|talk]]</sup> 11:45, 27 April 2010 (CEST)<br />

<br />
::::::::::Then there is nothing we can do, because Quolnok was doing what he was supposed to do based on what he knew.

I assume this discussion is done, yes? --'''[[User:Svip|Svip]]'''<sup>[[User talk:Svip|talk]]</sup> 11:59, 27 April 2010 (CEST)<br />
<br />
:::::::::::My point is simply that there should have been a standardized message left giving some insight toward Quolnok's authority and the history explaining the use of spelling variations (including links to the rules) that should have been originally left on my talk page. I honestly feel that would have prevented this whole misunderstanding. [[Special:Contributions/75.82.24.159|75.82.24.159]] 12:10, 27 April 2010 (CEST)<br />

== Good call ==<br />

Hi,<br />
I am just saying, good call for not joining Wikia. If you have a look on Community Central, there is chaos due to Wikia announcing their new horrible skin. Good call for not merging with Futurama wiki. [[Special:Contributions/92.7.194.78|92.7.194.78]] 23:09, 29 September 2010 (CEST)<br />
:Well, I often speak to people who have engaged with Wikia in the past, and the universal sentiment I get is: 'Don't make the mistake we did; Don't join them'. I decided to ask on issues I was concerned about; ads, skin, control and such. And they could not say they could promise anything. In fact, almost the opposite.<br />
:Part of Wikia's problem is its philosophy. And I am not just talking about being ''for''-profit. Wikia feel that its most important user is its editors. And while I agree that editors are very important on wikis, they are not what the wikis are actually designed for; the readers. You see, Wikia is pretty good looking if you are an editor (no ads, easy buttons for editing and so on), but it looks horrendous if you are just there for reading articles, which -- they have to admit -- is sort of the point.<br />
:I understand the advantages with a merge, but in contrast they are insignificant or not important. This server is running pretty good, I should say. --'''[[User:Svip|Svip]]'''<sup>[[User talk:Svip|talk]]</sup> 00:27, 30 September 2010 (CEST)<br />

Hi,<br />
You may remember me from the Wikia Futurama wiki but, I am happy to tell you, I have left Wikia and have been perma blocked there anyway.

Thanks you fixing my mistakes. About the grammar, I am still unsure about the correct usage. Wikipedia and the internet tend to give conflicting information. The manual of style didn't have anything on the issue either. But if that's what the wiki is going with. Just looking for some continuity.<br />
:Generally speaking, you avoid an additional s if the word already ends on an s. For instance, how do you pluralise 'class', you don't just add an extra s, because it is a special case.<br />
:Now it is true that there are some arguments whether this only applies to regular nouns and not proper nouns, but I really don't see the need for making the rules more confusing. --'''[[User:Svip|Svip]]'''<sup>[[User talk:Svip|talk]]</sup> 11:15, 8 November 2010 (CET)<br />

== Produciton ==<br />
<br />
Hi, Svip. As you probably know, the year articles have this recurring typo, ''Produciton''. I was wondering if you could have your bot take care of it, 'cause, you know, I don't think anyone here feels like changing those [http://www.theinfosphere.org/index.php?title=Special%3ASearch&redirs=0&search=Produciton&fulltext=Search&ns0=1&ns1=1&ns2=1&ns3=1&ns4=1&ns5=1&ns6=1&ns7=1&ns8=1&ns9=1&ns10=1&ns11=1&ns12=1&ns13=1&ns14=1&ns15=1&ns100=1&ns101=1&ns102=1&ns103=1&ns104=1&ns105=1&ns106=1&ns107=1&ns110=1&ns111=1 75] pages. (I've been counting them...) [[User:San Saber|San Saber]] 14:44, 19 December 2010 (CET)<br />
<br />
:Consider its usage on insignificant articles, I am going to give it a pass. Since it is largely accredited to one contributor for all those years articles, I am going to assume he too misspelt it. As such, I will probably let it slide. Besides, it is not my intend for the bot to fix spelling. That always ends in a huge mess. --'''[[User:Svip|Svip]]'''<sup>[[User talk:Svip|talk]]</sup> 14:50, 19 December 2010 (CET)<br />

::::I noticed this error awhile back and fixed it when I saw it. If you are going to start going through them I'll help also. Why pages were made beyond 2010 seems a bit strange. I understand that it was made on a template but it seems stupid to apply it for all these dates. I sincerely doubt that Futurama will be around in 2030 and having a section for in universe info when the show is based in the 31st century makes a lot of these pages useless. [[User:Teyrn of Highever|Teyrn of Highever]] 19:21, 19 December 2010 (CET)<br />
:::::I agree that the series won't last so long, but you can't be sure of anything when it comes to in-universe events, what with all the time travel we've been accustomed to.

::::::After a fairly boring session, I think that I got most of the errors. There may be some others on other pages but I haven't seen any yet.

[[User:Teyrn of Highever|Teyrn of Highever]] 19:38, 19 December 2010 (CET)<br />

Many of these pages deserve deletion. Or just work as a redirect. I would recommend for everyone to create a redirect if the articles contain nothing, which many of them does. -'''[[User:Svip|Svip]]'''<sup>[[User talk:Svip|talk]]</sup> 19:57, 19 December 2010 (CET)<br />

<br />
The '''100th Delivery Party''' was celebrated in September of [[3010]], during the [[Devolution Revolution]], in the [[Planet Express headquarters]] by [[Bender Bending Rodríguez]], its organizer, and [[#Attendants|other people he invited to it]]. It commemorated the one-hundredth delivery of the [[Planet Express]] company, a soufflé [[Mrs. Astor]] had ordered from [[Elzar's Fine Cuisine]].<br />
<br />
== Organization ==<br />
When [[Professor Hubert J. Farnsworth|the Professor]] announced that the [[Planet Express]] crew had been hired to make their 100th delivery, Bender planned on throwing a party with 100 cakes, a 100 [[Hookerbots|hookers]] and 100 [[Elvis Presley|Elvis]] impersonators. After delivering a soufflé to Mrs. Astor, they were invited to the [[Annual Astor Endowment Fundraiser]]. Bender stayed at the [[Planet Express headquarters|headquarters]] to prepare the party.<br />
<br />
As Bender was serving [[Michael Collins Mix]], he realized that [[Philip J. Fry|Fry]] and [[Hermes Conrad|Hermes]] weren't in the building, so he figured he didn't need to wait for them and decided to get the party started. A lot of characters from [[Episode listing|earlier episodes]] had been invited, the [[DJ Robot]] was playing "The Boogie That Be" by the {{w|Black Eyed Peas}} and both the hookers and the Elvis impersonators were there. The party seemed to be going well.<br />
<br />
However, Bender ended up feeling lonely, as he was starting to miss his friends, who had been sentenced to two weeks in the [[NNY Sewers]] for harboring [[Turanga Leela|a mutant]]. As a result, he stopped the party and kicked everyone out of the building. Later, Fry would return to the surface to pick him up, so the [[Westside Pipeway]] could be bent. After the [[Sewer Mutants]] had been granted their freedom, the crew went back to the headquarters. Despite the 100th Delivery Party having been the greatest party ever and Bender being partied out, they had another one... with "Bend It" by {{w|Dave Dee, Dozy, Beaky, Mick & Tich}}.<br />

<hr />
<div>[[File:Audience.png|thumb|right|The audience scene (larger scale image appearing further down).]]<br />
The '''audience scene''' near the end of ''[[Into the Wild Green Yonder]]'' is famous in its undertaken of the creators trying to insert ''all'' adult characters which had made an appearance on the show so far.<br />
<br />
== Production ==<br />
<br />
[[David X. Cohen]] began hinting at the scene in interviews prior to the film's release. While its intention may not be entirely obvious, it may simply boil down to being a 'cool' thing to do, if this was indeed the last ''[[Futurama]]'' they ever did.<ref name="com-fITWGY-dxc">{{cite commentary |speaker={{n|Cohen|David|X.}} |film=Into the Wild Green Yonder}}</ref> Due to the excessive amount of characters appearing in one picture, and each requiring individual drawing (since they could not simply be inserted with the "[[people hose]]"), the animation company, [[Rough Draft Studios]], had to fine the production company, [[The Curiosity Company]], for the extra time it had to take.<ref name="com-fITWGY-dxc"/><br />
<br />
However, despite its intention to include every character on the show, the scene has short comings in order to remain within [[canon]]. Characters from [[Fry's past]] and indeed everyone in the [[20th century|20th]] and [[21st century]] do not appear, but due to a comment by [[Morbo]], neither do any of the children throughout the show's run.<ref name="com-fITWGY-dxc"/><br />

At the [[New New York]] annual [[Annual e-Waste Recycling Festival|e-Waste event]], [[Mayor Poopenmeyer]] announces the importance of throwing out dated e-waste. Even the [[Planet Express]] crew is there to throw out old electronics, such as [[doomsday devices]], [[Japanese toilet]]s and evidence. When prompted about where all the waste goes, Poopenmeyer tells them that they get some idiots to fly it off to the third world. This cues [[Professor Hubert J. Farnsworth|Farnsworth]] to announce to his crew that they are the idiots to fly it off. The third world turns out to be the [[Third World of the Antares system]], where all the e-waste are dumped on the ground and burnt, turning it into useless material and releasing the toxin into the air, as well as the inhabitants dismantling the ship and [[Bender]]. As [[Turanga Leela|Leela]] discovers the horrors that their e-waste is leaving other planets in, she decides that the crew should avoid throwing out electronics, just because it is dated, and decides to take her old phone back.<br />
<br />
However, her noble actions are short lived as an ad for the new [[eyePhone]] appears on the television, and the crew immediately throws out their current phones and heads for the queue. The queue, however, is so long, it is all the way through town. After a day of tireless walking, the crew begins to suspect that they are nothing but consumer zombies. Luckily, [[Dr. Ben Beeler]] is there to relieve them of their worries, as the eyePhone have all the apps you need. Soon, they arrive at the [[Mom Store]], where a giant screen with [[Mom]] announces that the eyePhones are in short supply, which soon spreads panic among the shoppers. However, as the viewers soon learn, the short supply line is purely a method of increasing demand. While being told that with the eyePhone, he has no choice of carrier, can't change the battery and more, [[Philip J. Fry|Fry]] becomes impatient and demands the man at the counter to take his money. Though, on the question of why its name is an 'eyePhone', Fry soon learns, it is because it is installed into their eyes.<br />
<br />
=== Act II: "Did you know these eyePhones are phones too?" ===<br />
[[File:File-6ACV03 Floating Screens.jpg|left|thumb|A [[promo pic]] showing the crew using the floating screens from their eyePhones]]<br />
Soon, all the crew members are addicts to their eyePhones and especially the extra service, [[Twitcher]], where they can send small view messages to everyone who wishes to see it. Bender soon becomes addicted to the popularity he can easily gain from sending out videos and increasing his amount of followers. Fry, on the other hand, is not doing so well in numbers of followers, but decides to take a challenge with Bender about who can first reach one million followers. To make the bet interesting, however, the loser is to bathe in a pool filled with puke and diarrhea from a [[Mr. Chunks|two-headed goat]].<br />
<br />
Meanwhile, Mom is very pleased with the sale of her eyePhones, because they are a much more efficient way of sucking information out of people, instead of doing it the old fashion way. With Twitcher, people are apparently willing to post everything they do, which all eyePhones record and Mom can see all this information. In addition, she is pleased to learn that Bender and Fry are throwing their million follower-Twitcher challenge, because when one person reaches one million followers, she can initiate her [[Twitt-worm]], what she calls the ''true'' killer app of the eyePhone, but never fully explains what it does.<br />
<br />
Back at Planet Express, Bender's follower numbers are raising fast, while Fry is still in the two digits. However, Fry learns about Leela's horrible secret, that she has a singing boil on her right butt cheek, that she calls [[Susan Boil]]. However, in discovering it, his eyePhone also filmed it. When Leela discovers that he has it on video, she asks him not to upload it, even though Fry can see a decent potential for his upload, and it could make him win the bet. In a desperation of not wanting to swim in puke and diarrhea, he uploads it.<br />
<br />
=== Act III: "Impending news, everyone!" ===<br />
The video is a huge success, but Leela is devastated when she discovers that Fry lied to her. Walking through the streets of New New York, Leela feels she have become a freak show and desperately wants to hide her shame.<br />
<br />
However, the video results in Fry and Bender reaching a tie with both one million followers, and no one has to swim in the pool. Mom is even more pleased with the results, as she now has one to two million people she can infect with the Twit-worm. In front of the [[Planet Express headquarters]], Leela finds Fry, who wants to apologize for uploading the video and explains he actually took a swim in the pool for her sake. But Leela has discovered that her boil is already yesterday's news, and nobody cares about it any more.<br />
<br />
Meanwhile, around them, hundreds of people walking in a zombie like fashion begins emerging. All heading towards the Mom Store, where they are going to be the first to purchase the new eyePhone 2.0.<br />
<br />
== Production ==<br />
The plot of "Attack of the Killer App" was among the plots mentioned at the ''[[Futurama]]'' panel at the [[2009]] {{w|San Diego Comic-Con}}.<ref name="cinemablend-comiccon">{{cite web |url=http://www.cinemablend.com/television/Comic-Con-Futurama-Ignores-Controversy-Promises-To-Take-On-Twitter-18844.html |title=Comic Con: Futurama Ignores Controversy, Promises To Take On Twitter |publisher=Cinema Blend |date=2009-07-25 |accessdate=2009-07-26 |author=Perkis, Ed}}</ref> And [[Craig Ferguson]] was among the first guest actors of the production season to come to the recording studio. During [[Comedy Central]] Insider's ''[[Countdown to Futurama]]'', a [[Storyboard:Attack of the Killer App|storyboard]] was released showing Farnsworth and Hermes throwing out dangerous doomsday devices.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://ccinsider.comedycentral.com/2010/05/20/countdown-to-futurama-doomsday-devices-storyboards/ |title=Countdown to Futurama: Doomsday Devices Storyboard |publisher=Comedy Central Insider |author=Tobey, Matt |date=2010-05-20 |accessdate=2010-05-20}}</ref><br />
<br />
== Reception ==<br />
"Attack of the Killer App" aired 22:00, 1 July, 2010 on Comedy Central, following a rebroadcast of "[[In-A-Gadda-Da-Leela]]". It received 2.2 million viewers and a 1.1 adults 18-49 share.<ref name="603ratings107">{{cite web|url=http://tvbythenumbers.com/2010/07/02/thursday-cable-ratings-usas-royal-pains-bethenny-lags-futurama/56051|title=Thursday Cable Ratings: USA's ''Royal Pains'' & ''Burn Notice'' lead Thursday cable pack; ''Bethenny'' lags ''Futurama''|work=TV by the Numbers|author=Seidman, Robert|date=2010-07-02 |accessdate=2010-07-03}}</ref><br />
<br />
=== ''iPhone'' controversy ===<br />
After having the aired "Attack of the Killer App", [[Comedy Central]] decided to remove the "eyePhone" reference in their online video previews,<ref name="maclife-iphoneremoval">{{cite web |url=http://www.maclife.com/article/news/why_did_comedy_central_remove_eyephone_reference_futurama_online_clip | title=Why Did Comedy Central Remove EyePhone Reference from Futurama Online Clip? |author=Baldwin, Roberto |publisher=MacLife |date=2010-07-02 |accessdate=2010-07-03}}</ref> resulting in an awkward reaction to nothing by the characters.<ref name="gizmodo-iphoneremoval">{{cite web |url=http://www.gizmodo.com.au/2010/07/futurama-weirdly-removes-eyephone-reference-from-online-clip/ |title=''Futurama'' Weirdly Removes EyePhone Reference From Online Clip |author=Chen, Jason |publisher=Gizmodo Australia |date=2010-07-02 |accessdate=2010-07-03}}</ref> By this point, neither Comedy Central nor Apple Inc. have made a comment on why the line was removed, but MacLife holds that only one company could be interested in removing it.<ref name="maclife-iphoneremoval"/><br />
<br />
== Additional info ==<br />
[[File:6ACV03 Dismantled Ship still.jpg|right|thumb|A promo pic showing the dismantled ship.]]<br />
<br />
=== Trivia ===<br />
*As in "[[In-A-Gadda-Da-Leela]]", the [[opening sequence]] was abridged in this episode. Consequently, there is no [[List of opening cartoons|opening cartoon]].<br />
*The title of the episode is a reference to the cult film ''{{w|Attack of the Killer Tomatoes}}''.<br />
*6 August, 1991 is the date {{w|Tim Berners-Lee}} announced the {{w|World Wide Web}} project and software on the alt.hypertext newsgroup.<br />
*In his first two appearances, [[Scoop Chang]] was voiced by [[David Herman]]. In this episode, however, he is voiced by [[Maurice LaMarche]].<br />
*For reasons unknown, Leela wears her full costume from [[Applied Cryogenics]] during the first part of the episode.<br />
*Among the zombies infected with the [[twitt-worm]] are two who bear a strong resemblance to [[Fry, Bender and Leela's replacements|Fry and Leela's replacements]] from "[[When Aliens Attack]]". There is a zombie a character resembling {{w|Krusty the Clown}} from ''[[The Simpsons]]''.<br />
<br />
=== Continuity ===<br />
*The shell phone Zoidberg throws away debuted in ''[[The Beast with a Billion Backs]]''.<br />
*The cell phone Amy throws away was first seen in "[[Amazon Women in the Mood]]".<br />
*The episode seemed to show the last of [[Flexo]] before his death, presuming he didn't escape afterwards.<br />
**Although it is revealed in "[[Lethal Inspection]]" that your typical [[Bending Units|Bending Unit]] can never die, but simply be transferred into a new body if need be.<br />
<br />
=== Goofs ===<br />
*The hinges of [[Bender]]'s chest cavity door are on the wrong side after the [[Antarians]] strip him halfway down.<br />
*Right after every crew member tosses their phones in the garbage, [[Dr. John A. Zoidberg|Zoidberg]]'s pants are white instead of aqua.<br />
*How was Zoidberg able to afford an eyePhone when he is so poor?<br />
*When the counter clerk that Fry talks to opens the eyePhone box the Mom logo is properly oriented but once the box is opened and the camera angle changes, the logo is flipped upside-down, thus again properly oriented in relation to the camera.<br />
*The sitting arrangement changes when [[Leela]] crashes the [[Planet Express Ship]].<br />
:'''Before''': [[Fry]] - [[Amy]] - Empty - [[Zoidberg]] - [[Bender]] - [[Hermes]] - Empty - Empty<br />
:'''After''': [[Fry]] - [[Amy]] - [[Zoidberg]] - [[Bender]] - Empty - [[Hermes]] - Empty<br />
:Note that there is one chair missing. Interestingly, the first sitting arrangement is the same as the one in "[[The Late Philip J. Fry]]".<br />
*Bender should be seated where Hermes was seated so the angle of the video he posted would be accurate.<br />
*When Fry and Leela hug again, Fry has 4 legs.<br />
*When the [[eyePhone Seller|guy from the counter]] reaches for the eyePhone, his hand grabs more than one copy. Strangely, in the very next scene, he has only one to give to Fry.<br />
<br />
=== Allusions ===<br />
*Fry refers to [[Mr. Chunks]] as a puke-me-poop-you, possibly his species name, but surely a play on the two-headed pushmi-pullyu from the classic children’s series {{w|Dr. Dolittle}}.<br />
*[[Susan Boil]] is a parody of Scottish internet singing sensation {{w|Susan Boyle}}.<br />
*[[eyePhone|eyePhones]] are parodies of {{w|iPhone}}s.<br />
*[[Twitcher]] is a parody of the popular social networking site {{w|Twitter}}.<br />
*The scene of Leela exiting [[Elzar's Fine Cuisine]] is a parody of the famous scene of {{w|Marilyn Monroe}} in ''{{w|The Seven Year Itch}}''.<br />

== General Trivia ==<br />
*This is one among few ''Futurama'' [[:Category:Media featuring its title|media featuring its title]].<br />
*It is also implied in the [[Commentary:Bender's Big Score|commentary]] of ''[[Bender's Big Score]]'' that Bender's materials will cause him to melt in hundreds of thousands of years. <!-- And let me explain why it is "of" and "or". In the commentary of Bender's Big Score, they make it clear it is "or" because otherwise it would have caused him to melt, and therefore it was not "of" in Bender's Big Score. If you use your phrasing with "or", he would have melted in BBS, which he didn't, ergo, it is "of". --> Though despite this, it does not occur in the film.<br />
*The writers have been quoted, at {{w|Comic-Con International}} 2008, saying that there is a "scene" containing "all of the characters" from Futurama, all clearly distinguishable. This was true until, due to a joke within the film, they had to take out the child characters.<br />
*Tickle Me Bender dolls are an obvious parody of {{w|Sesame Street|Sesame Street's}} {{w|Tickle Me Elmo}} dolls.<br />
*A 308" screen can be seen later for some short time, continuing the joke about the Professor's size problem (only 301").<br />
*The Australian release of this film falls on the eve of the anniversary of ''Bender's Big Score'''s Australian release date.<br />
*{{w|Robby the Robot}} makes another cameo appearance in this movie, the first being in ''[[The Beast with a Billion Backs]]''.<br />
*In this movie, the Feministas' pink camouflage outfits are similar to the Zoidberg-stained outfits from "[[Bendin' in the Wind]]" and the Professor wears his driving gear from "[[Teenage Mutant Leela's Hurdles]]".<br />
*"Bender, are you crazy?" "No, it's Fry who's crazy in this one!" refers to when Bender went insane in ''[[Bender's Game]]'', and is also an obvious fourth wall break.<br />
**Additionally, the very last scene, while not a true break of the fourth wall, seems to refer to the uncertainty of whether this is the last of the series.<br />
*Right before Bender bends the brick wall, they abandon most of the eco-feminist group.<br />
*In the crowd scene near the end, the break in the glass is explained as not causing a life support problem (in the commentary) due to a force field. Apparently there was also such a force field on the construction site where [[Fry]] was working when [[Bender]] tapped his phone.<br />
*There are many risque jokes in the film, including [[Fanny]] twanging Bender's Antennae, Bender's Antennae growing in size, and two robots with disk drives on their crotch areas, with the Manbot transferring a disk to the Fembot.<br />
*This is the only time we have ever seen the [[Hypnotoad]] in a state where it has stopped hypnotizing long enough for its eye color to return to normal.<br />
*This also the only time that Fry's lack of the delta brainwave has come into play without [[Nibbler]] playing a part.<br />
*Destroying 12% of a galaxy would seriously upset its gravitational balance, possibly by enough to make it come apart altogether.<br />
**However, it depends on what is meant by "destroy". If the matter stays (generally) in the same place (just not in the same form/configuration), it would definitely qualify as "destruction", but the large-scale gravity wouldn't change that much.<br />
**Also, the dark matter component of galaxy (meaning "real" dark matter, not the former starship fuel) would be left untouched by most of conventional methods of destruction, as it doesn't interact with normal matter except via gravity.<br />
*The scene where Fry lectures [[Number 9 Man|Nine]] on his presentation is made to poke fun at how different history lessons are told in Films than real life.<br />
*The license plate on the [[Feministas]]' Hover Hippie Wagon reads FEC01, which is 3 things: Eco, the F continuing the Feminist theme, and Fecol (fecal matter, poop). (Also could be a reference to the Ghostbusters Ecto1) <br />
*The scene where Bender is dressed up as, and acts like a hooker is yet another instance of Bender acting feminine.<br />
*The Earth Supreme Court is made up of current United States justices Samuel Alito, Antonin Scalia, Clarence Thomas, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, and celebrities Snoop Dogg (chief justice), Bjork, Paula Abdul, Janeane Garofalo, and the voice of Leela, Katey Sagal.<br />
*A black hole is supposed to be used as a ball return after the 18th hole. This would mean that Black Holes in Futurama act similarly to wormholes, however they are not typically used as such because of the fact that humans can not survive the trip through one, unlike the wormholes.<br />
*Although, officially, there is no confirmation as to which species evolved into the [[Encyclopods]]/[[Dark Ones]], there is evidence that the original intention was for it to be the snakes/frogs respectively. The frogs have an appearance that people are more likely to associate with evil, additionally the eyes of the snakes/frogs closely resemble the eyes of the Encyclopods/Dark Ones, and are even the same color.<br />
**This would also explain why the Encyclopods died out where the Dark Ones barely survived. The frogs started the war by eating the snakes, gaining a slight numbers advantage from the start.<br />
*The only characters who appear in both this film and "[[Space Pilot 3000]]" are Fry, Leela, Bender, Professor Farnsworth, Michelle, Smitty, URL, Ipgee, Terry, Lou, Nixon, and the Number nine man (Including background, non-speaking characters).<br />
*It is interesting that the [[Brainspawn]] never used foil to block out the thoughts of others. Since they know so much, they should be fully aware of such a solution.<br />
*During the rally at Leo Wong's minature golf course, Leela urges them to protect the Violet Dwarf star "at Galactic Coordinates 167.84, -58.03 Mark 948." These Galactic Coordinates are located in the {{w|Cetus}} constellation, otherwise known as "the whale" (likely a reference to "Save the Whale" campaigns), specifically the star {{w|Mira}}. {{w|Gospel of Mark|Mark}} [http://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Bible_%28King_James%29/Mark#9:48 9:48 is a bible verse] which states "where THEIR WORM DOES NOT DIE, AND THE FIRE IS NOT QUENCHED."<br />
[[File:Leo Wong - Five fingers.png|thumb|right|[[Leo Wong]] holds up five fingers!]]<br />
*The Encyclopod must also have the ability to communicate through mind-reading, as it can talk to people through the vacuum of space.<br />
**It must also have it's breathing organs in it's pouch, since the pouch has oxygen-releasing trees, and the Encyclopod can breath in space.<br />
*At the end of the poker game, when Leo announces that Bender has five kings, he holds up a his hand, with five digits on it.<br />
*[[Number 9 Man|9]] says they've been "grokking some super-weird junk." [[wiktionary:grok|Grok]] is an esoteric word, and another example of "nerd-humor" being used in Futurama. Use of the word implies a deep knowledge of a subject. Interestingly, the subtitles spell both "grok" and "grokking" correctly.<br />
*Despite [[the Professor]] stating that once entering the [[Panama Wormhole|wormhole]], they may never be able to return, judging by their current location, they entered the ball return of the golf course and so they should come out at the 18th hole.<br />
*Unlike the other films, the [[List of title captions#Season 5|caption]] of this film ("The humans shall not defeat us") is not used on the episode created from its first quarter. Instead, it is used on the fourth episode since this would be the last episode.<br />
*After [[Hutch Waterfall|Hutch]] knocked out [[Philip J. Fry|Fry]], he tapped on the dumpster in reference to ''{{w|The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy}}''.<br />

== Allusions ==<br />
*The scene with [[The Hip Joint Janitor]] mixing [[Slurm]] and Mentos to make an eruption for the "Dancing Fountains" is a reference to the chemical reaction between {{w|Diet Coke and Mentos eruption|Diet Coke and normal white Mentos}}.<br />
*[[Mars Vegas]] is an obvious allusion to Las Vegas, Nevada. Many of the Mars Vegas casinos are parodies of current Las Vegas casinos. The Wong is a parody of {{w|Wynn Las Vegas|the Wynn}} (in both building design and wordmark), Botany Bay is a parody of {{w|Mandalay Bay}} (and is named for the [[startrek:SS Botany Bay|SS Botany Bay]], which it also resembles), Miragio is a combination of {{w|The Mirage}} and {{w|Bellagio}}, The Venutian is a parody of {{w|The Venetian (Las Vegas)|The Venetian}}, Excalibot is a parody of {{w|Excalibur Hotel and Casino|Excalibur}}, and Buggalo Bill's is a parody of {{w|Buffalo Bill's}}, even though it is not actually not in Las Vegas, but 40 miles south in Primm, Nevada. Bill has 3 eyes when he lifts his hat, a possible nod to Tienshinhan's famous Dragonball Z 90s dub line "This 3 eyed cowboy's goin for one last ride."<br />
**It could also be an (much more possible)allusion to the Twilight Zone episode "Will the Real Martian Please Stand Up?"[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Will_the_Real_Martian_Please_Stand_Up%3F] in which a Venusian invader has a third eye under his hat.<br />
*The sand worm the Wongs and the Planet Express crew are riding in the beginning of the movie is most likely a parody of the {{w|Las Vegas Monorail}}. The worm is also a clear allusion to the {{w|Sandworm (Dune)|sandworms}} of Frank Herbert's {{w|Dune (novel)|Dune}}. The Wongs appear to be steering the sand worm using {{w|Maker hooks#M|maker hooks}}.<br />
*In the introduction sequence, the Planet Express ship flies through a pedestrian mall similar to Las Vegas' {{w|Fremont Street Experience|Fremont Street}}.<br />
*The line from [[Penn Jillette]] "our act really didn't change much when he died" is a joke on how Teller isn't supposed to ever talk onscreen during their show.<br />
*The Keeler Gap, [[Keeler Crater]] and the 2261 Keeler asteroid are all existing astronomical locations in our [[Solar System]], though, not named after [[Ken Keeler]], the main writer of the film, but after {{w|James Edward Keeler}}, an unrelated astronomer.<br />
*The painting covering the safe in the White House is a reference to the Coppertone logo.<br />
*When Zapp Brannigan, Kif, and Bender sing songs from the 80's, they sing Duran Duran's "Hungry Like the Wolf".<br />
*During Zapp's speech [[Calculon]] thanks his operating system, said to be Windows Vista on the DVD and Blu-ray release, but was changed to Windows 7 on the Comedy Central reruns.<br />
*The moons of Mars are blue and pink. This may be a reference to the "Planet of Adventure" books by Jack Vance. The moons of the planet Tschai are blue and pink.<br />
*The robotic servant seen at the Wong Ranch is identical to one in the 1956 movie Forbidden Planet.<br />
*The Feministas' painting the King Kong figure's face with make-up may be a reference to the ''{{w|Guerrilla Girls}}''.<br />
<br />
== Goofs ==<br />
=== Technical Goofs ===<br />
Following are goofs in the film due to overlooking details and drawing errors.<br />
* At one point in the audience Cubert is seen, but Morbo says that there aren't any children there.<br />
*Once again, the Nimbus is smaller than usual, in comparison to the Planet Express Ship, and at one point, it even seemed smaller than it.<br />
*When the crew and Kif escape from Zapp in the final minutes, Kif is wearing his dress uniform, but when they go into the wormhole, he is wearing his regular duty uniform.<br />
**Also everyone except LaBarbara has reverted to their normal attire; however in "[[Rebirth]]" during the flashback, even LaBarbara is shown to have reverted.<br />
*The crack in the glass at the end crowd scene changes shape throughout the scene.<br />
*Fry said it was 5 years ago that the [[Native Martians]] left the planet, meaning they left in {{year|3004}}. However they actually left in {{year|3002}}.<br />
**However, he could be estimating, i.e. "About five years ago".<br />
*The Hypnotoad in the audience scene is way bigger than usual.<br />
**As are various others, like Guenter.<br />
**It should also be noted that other beings, like the amazonians, are smaller than they were originally.<br />
*In the audience scene, [[Sewer Mutants]] are seen, even though mutants are not allowed out of the sewers.<br />
**Though that rule may only apply on Earth.<br />
**Also seen is [[Helmut Spargle]], who died in the episode "[[The 30% Iron Chef]]" (assuming no one tried to resuscitate him from the ditch Bender left him).<br />
*[[Craterface]] is able to show emotion, even though he is wearing a large mask. His mouth also moves, though in his original appearance it did not.<br />
*When the Number Nine Man explains to Fry about the Chi at the Legion of Madfellows hideout, he is shown to have a boot on his left foot. However, after he footswears (using his right foot) with Fry, his left foot is shown barefoot.<br />
*On [[Bender]]'s last hand, both of his cards are playing cards. But when his hand is revealed, the King of Beers is obviously a different shape and probably has a different design on its back.<br />
*At the start, when Leela is attacked by the Leech/Dark One, Fry is shown to be behind her when he should have been knocked out.<br />
*When the [[Feministas]] captured the Wongs in the cage, Frida Waterfall is shown on the Planet Express ship even though Leela said she was at the Hunnybun Hideout.<br />
*The fence was supposed to be a billion miles long, but it clearly wasn't when it captured the Wongs.<br />
**Though, they could just have used some of it.<br />
*At the countdown from ten to one, the Legion of Mad Fellows are cheering too, even though they are against it.<br />
**However, this could be so that the Mad Fellows blend in with the crowd, and are not suspected by the Dark Ones.<br />
*When the Feministas enter the Planet Express Ship, after escaping from the prison, they walk through a closed door.<br />
*When the professor says that money talks, he holds up a $5 bill. When they zoom in on the bill it is clearly in the hand of Hermes. When the camera zooms out again, the bill is back in Farnsworth's hand.<br />
*Leo Wong describes the first of his "Space Holes" as a par 2, however the score card shows it as a par 3.<br />
*When Kif is reaching into the safe at the White House, his left arm disappears behind the yellow shoulder cuff briefly while he's digging for the money.<br />
*In the audience scene, Zapp asks Kif if he can sit on his shoulders for a better view, however he shouldn't need to because he is sitting in the front row.<br />
*When everyone turns around to watch the hatching of the Encyclopod, Leo is wearing a feminista mask.<br />
*After trapping the [[Wongs]] behind the fence, [[Turanga Leela|Leela]] and [[Linda van Schoonhoven|Linda]] want to shout a clever slogan. Leela says that they can't because [[Frida Waterfall|their chief slogan writer]] is at the [[Feminista]] hideout. However, Frida can be seen cheering with the other Feministas before Leela and Linda have their conversation.<br />
<br />
=== Physics Goofs ===<br />
The following physics goofs contradict current understanding of the laws of physics and have potential explanations because our knowledge of physical laws is incomplete. New inventions in the 31st century may also contribute possible explanations. That and the joke requires physics to be ignored.<br />
*In the scene where The [[Nimbus]] gets sliced open, the suffocating soldiers' bodies should be swelling(but not bursting) due to the out-gassing of the moisture within their bodies. The vacuum of space would also cause visible skin damage.<br />
*Bouncing an objective off of a Gas Giant, while theoretically possible at high enough speeds, assuming the theory that they get more solid as you get closer to the core holds true, would significantly reduce the object's speed. The golf ball seemed not to lose any speed. It is also way bigger in proportion to Jupiter than it is to Mars.<br />
*The [[Planet Express Ship]] can travel to the edge the universe in one week. The Professor saying that the wormhole would send them far enough away that they don't know if they'll ever come back would mean they'd have to either be sent outside the universe, or to a different universe. If it's the former then that means that the universe is far less than 1 quadrillion light years in diameter (which is known to be false). If it's the latter, it means there is another universe, which is inescapable, within 1 quadrillion miles of the specific wormhole. <br />
**However, the ship is now using whale oil instead of dark matter which may make it slower.<br />
**The ship also only ever traveled to the ''edge'' of the universe (excluding the non-[[canon]] journey to the [[Bogad|furthest corner]] in [[Futurama (video game)|the game]]). It's possible that our local cluster of galaxies is nearer to one edge than the other.<br />
*The sugar should not have been able to be poured into the fuel tank, as there is no gravity in space.<br />
**Although Saturn's ring's may have gravity, it's impossible at this point in time to know how strong or how much it would be effected by the sweeper removing its matter.<br />
**It is known that all known ships have artificial gravity. It's possible that this field extends a small distance beyond the hull, making it affect the sugar.<br />
**Also the smoke from the sweeper would spread equally in all directions without gravity. Although, this could be explained by the above explanation.<br />
*The worms in the organic potato should not have been alive in the vacuum of space<br />
*The scent of the burnt potato Could not have traveled 100s of 1000s of miles through the vacuum of space to [[Leo Wong]]'s location, especially not in mere seconds.<br />
**Additionally, from the rings, Saturn would appear much bigger than it did in the film. It should basically fill the screen. And any part to Saturn's side shouldn't have such a pronounced curve.<br />
**On top of that, for the sweeper to make such a large gap in the rings it would need to be massive, as in moon-sized or such. It is big, but nowhere near the size it needs be.<br />
**Finally, Leo Wong should not have been able to smell the burning potato while wearing a space suit.<br />
*The Encyclopod is able to move through space by flapping it's "wings," which is impossible, since there is no atmosphere to push him forward.<br />
*If the Encyclopod uses psychic powers to communicate with people through the vacuum of space, it could not have heard the [[Number 9 Man]]'s talking since he was wearing tinfoil. Though it could have heard the thoughts of someone hearing [[Number 9 Man]] speak.<br />
**Although the Mad Fellows mentioned that even foil is ineffective against the Dark One at close range. Encyclopod could also have had this mind-reading ability.<br />

<poem>'''[[Cubert Farnsworth|Cubert]]''': Yes, 10!</poem><br />
<poem>'''[[Dwight Conrad|Dwight]]''': Well done, Cubonius. You decapitated the unicorn.</poem><br />
<poem>'''ALL''': All right.</poem><br />
<poem>'''[[Chinese Boy]]''': Oh, oh! We search his tail pouch for treasure.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Dwight''': Deep in the unicorn's rump sack, you find... ''[The boys gasp as he rolls the dice.]'' 60 gold pieces and a mysterious scrap of cloth bearing the unmistakable stench of dwarf urine.</poem><br />
<poem>'''[[Indian Boy]]''': The same stench that was on the bed linens at the inn?</poem><br />
<poem>'''Dwight''': The very same.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Chinese Boy''': Oh, my God! Oh, my God! Oh, my God!</poem><br />
<poem>'''Cubert''': I cast a spell of detect magic.</poem><br />
<poem>'''[[Bender Bending Rodríguez|Bender]]''': ''[Walking over to the table.]'' What you doing, mini-meatbags? Underage gambling? Shame on you. Count me in. ''[He places a wad of cash on the table.]''<br />
<poem>'''Dwight''': We're not gambling. We're playing Dungeons & Dragons.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Cubert''': Right now, we're fighting for our lives in the lair of the Dragon Queen.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Bender''': Ah, wrong. Right now you're ass-deep in a folding chair.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Cubert''': Yes, but in my imagination I'm riding a golden Pegasus. Giddy up, Sparky! ''[He rides the chair like a horse.]''<br />
<poem>'''Bender''': ''[Sitting down.]'' Am I the only one seeing him sitting here with peanut butter on his face?</poem><br />
<poem>'''Dwight''': Bender, were you built without an imagination?</poem><br />

<poem>'''[[Philip J. Fry|Fry]]''': I don't know, Bender. Why do you ask? Were the other boys making fun of you?</poem><br />
<poem>'''Bender''': Mhmm. They said I couldn't imagine things.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Fry''': Well, you never know unless you try. Like, I didn't know if I could swallow a softball, so I gave it my best shot and voilà! ''[He lifts his shirt to reveal a large lump in the middle of his abdomen.]'' Wait, that's not it. ''[He twists to the left a bit to reveal a second hump.]'' Ah, thar she blows!</poem><br />
<poem>'''[[Planet Express ship|Ship's Computer]]''' (while beeping): Warning, out of dark matter fuel.</poem><br />
<poem>'''[[Turanga Leela|Leela]]''': That's not a warning. A warning is supposed to come before something bad happens.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Ship's Computer''' (with a more stern alarm): Warning, engines will shut down in one second.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Leela''': That's more like it.</poem><br />
:''[The ship's engines die and it abruptly comes to a stop, throwing the three crew members out of their chairs. The ship drifts into a shady looking area of space.]''<br />
<poem>'''Fry''': Uh-oh. This space neighborhood looks kind of sketchy.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Punk''': ''[He flies onto the front of the ship and yanks off the hood ornament.]'' Rock 'n' roll.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Bender''': Hey, that punk stole our hood ornament. Now no one will know we have the LX package.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Leela''': We need dark matter and we need it fast. Fry, check Nibbler's litter box. Maybe he dropped a steamer.</poem><br />

<br />
<poem>'''Leela''': Can you believe the price of dark matter? It'd be cheaper to fill the tank with Nobel Prize winners' sperm.</poem><br />
<poem>'''MOM COMPUTER''': Total dark matter purchased, $632.14. Your Speedpass will now be charged.</poem><br />
:''[A bolt of electricity shoots out to Leela's Wristlomojacker and she yells.]''<br />

<poem>'''Sal''': Whoa!</poem><br />
<poem>'''Leela''': Yeah, why don't you come a little closer so my boot can hear you?</poem><br />

<poem>'''Sal''': What's the matters, you couldn't affords the LX package?</poem><br />
<poem>'''Hoschel''': Puke-a-doodle-do.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Leela''': You're making fun of our ship? Your ship is the most beat-up thing I've ever seen, and I've '''seen Mickey Rourke's head.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Sal''': Yeah, she's a little Rourky, but you got to gets big time ugly to be five-time winners at a demolition derby.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Fry''': That's five more times than we've won or even entered.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Bender''': We do suck.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Sal''': Yup, and it's gonna be six winses after tonights.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Leela''': We'll sees abouts that.</poem><br />
<br />
:''['''Scene''': The crew sits around the Conference Table. Scruffy leans on the fridge while looking at a magazine.]'' </poem><br />
<br />
<poem>'''[[Hermes Conrad|Hermes]]''': Dark matter costs have tripled, so we must reduce expenses. Therefore, we will no longer provide complimentary porno magazines in the lounge.</poem><br />
<poem>'''[[Scruffy]]''': Dern it.</poem><br />
<poem>'''[[Professor Hubert J. Farnsworth|Farnsworth]]''': And no more wasting fuel. From now on I'll be keeping a tight hold on the keys to the ship, swallowing them before I go to bed and recovering them the next morning.</poem><br />
<poem>'''[[Amy Wong|Amy]]''': Splech!</poem><br />
<poem>'''Hermes''': Professor, it's 4:00.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Farnsworth''': 4:00 in the evening? Then, good night. ''[He swallows the keys.]''<br />
<br />
:''['''Scene''': Locker Room. The crew is showing.]''<br />
<br />
<poem>'''Leela''': I don't care what the Professor says. We're entering that demolition derby to prove our ship isn't a piece of junk.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Zoidberg''': But won't that turn our ship into a piece of junk?</poem><br />
<poem>'''Bender''': Shut up, Zoidberg. He's right, Leela.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Leela''': But we have no choice. Rednecks insulted us.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Fry''': So? Let it go. Don't let your temper get the better of...</poem><br />
<poem>'''Leela''': ''[Grabbing Fry and shaking him senseless.]'' Rednecks!</poem><br />
<br />

<br />
<poem>'''[[Dr. John A. Zoidberg|Zoidberg]]''': Using this magneto, I will now guide the keys up the thorax and out via the frontal face hole. That's the storage locker, the boat, the other boat, pay dirt!</poem><br />
:''[Exterior shot of Planet Express. The hangar doors open and the ship blasts out. It speeds through space and smashes through a billboard that says "SPACE DEMOLITION DERBY - DRIVE SAFELY!" '''Scene''': The ship lands in an arena where twenty vehicles are facing each other in a square formation.]''<br />
<poem>'''Rich Little''' (VO): Greetings, sports fans. Though whether this outpouring of inbreds can in fact be classified as a sport is a subject of no small scholarly debate.</poem><br />
:''[The Planet Express Ship lands next to Sal's.]''<br />

<poem>'''Rich Little'': And we are underway.</poem><br />
:''[Vehicles begin smashing into each other. A red truck with a deer strapped to the roof smashes head on into a blue station wagon ship. The deer flies off the hood and smacks onto the glass dome protecting the fans. The Lunar Lander is seen smashing itself onto an Omicronian ship. The blue ship smashes into the disabled red truck. The Planet Express ship flies by them and collides with Sal's ship. Both are sent spinning out of control.]''<br />
<poem>'''Sal''': Whoas!</poem><br />
<poem>'''Leela''': Yes! Now we're inflicting.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Rich Little''' (VO): Outstanding! Tonight we are witnessing a veritable clinic and that ludicrous hullabaloo known as demolition derby.</poem><br />

<poem>'''Rich Little''' (VO): Ladies and gentlemen, we are down to our final two ships. In the storied annals of demolition derby, today will surely be remembered, if only as the day upon which I was absorbed (Shows Rich Little.) into that hideous conglomeration once known as the Dixie Chicks.</poem><br />

<poem>'''Sal's Friend''': But you're insansier, right?</poem><br />
<poem>'''Sal''': Nah, I guess nots. I've decideds to relax and enjoy life from now ons.</poem><br />
:''[They both scream as they steer away from the collision. They crash and when the dust settles the hood pops open and one windshield wiper is working. The crowd cheers. Interior shot of the Planet Express ship shows everybody stunned in horror.]''<br />

<poem>'''Rich Little''': And Planet Express takes the trophy.</poem><br />
:''[The ship hobbles back to the Planet Express building and falls into the hangar. Inside, Fry and Amy move a curtain with a drawing of the ship around the smashed one. In Farnsworth's bedroom Leela and Zoidberg attempt to put the keys back in his stomach.]''<br />
<poem>'''Leela''': Now, I'll use the magnet to get the keys back in there.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Zoidberg''': What? You mean I cut a big hole in him for nothing? ''[He begins placing organs back in Farnsworth's body.]''<br />
<poem>'''Leela''': Don't worry, the Professor won't even remember that he has a spaceship. ''[She gasps as Farnsworth enters with Hermes.]''<br />
<poem>'''Farnsworth''': Ah, my precious spaceship! My lone source of joy in the cold December of my days. Come, friends. Let's take her for a spin to the malt shop like old times.</poem><br />

<poem>'''Zoidberg''': Look at me! Look at me! Look at me! Look at me! Ooh! ''[He falls and lands against the curtain. A torch sits next to him.]'' Don't look at me.</poem><br />
:''[The torch sets the whole curtain a blaze and it is quickly consumed. Hermes gasps.]''<br />
<poem>'''Farnsworth''': Yes, she's a wonderful ship, all right. As beautiful now as the day I got botched laser eye surgery. ''[He looks at the floor.]'' Now, that's odd. What's the fuel gauge doing on the fl... ''[He gasps as he sees the gauge points at the notch just below the "Full" mark.]'' Great Godzilla's gonads! Who wasted precious fuel? Answer now or be punished.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Leela''': All right, fine. I admit it.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Farnsworth''': You will be punished.</poem><br />

<poem>'''Cubert''': I proceed to cast a spell of darkness.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Indian Boy''': Most ingenious.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Chinese Boy''': Ah, Bender?</poem><br />
<poem>'''Bender''': Me? I, uh cast a spell of darkness. ''[He makes ghostly noises.]'' Pretty imaginative, huh?</poem><br />
<poem>'''Cubert''': No, you just did the same thing as me, but with a dumb noise.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Bender''': Oh... You're right. I'm great in every way except I have no imagination. All I ever wanted is to play this magical game and I can't.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Dwight''': Yes, you can. You just have to lose yourself in the fantasy. You have to believe the impossible is merely preposterous.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Bender''': Okay. Here goes. Visor down. I believe, I believe. ''[He makes ghostly noises again.]'' I did it! I imagined something. For 1.3 milliseconds, I truly believed I was a noble robot in days of yonder.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Chinese Boy''': Way to go, Bender.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Cubert''': What is thy character's name, good sir?</poem><br />
<poem>'''Bender''': Uh, um... I am Titanius Anglesmith, fancy man of Cornwood.</poem><br />

<poem>'''Farnsworth''' (Angrily): Everybody out of the conference room. I am calling a conference. (To the crew:) Everybody get in here. ''[Cut to Leela standing with the crew and Farnsworth.]'' You wasted precious fuel just because you were insulted by some redneck yokel from beyond the stars?</poem><br />
<poem>'''Leela''': It was only half a ball.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Farnsworth''': That's not the point. Your temper is out of control. And to think I'd have never even known if it weren't for the lengthy and unsolicited tattling of Dr. Zoidberg.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Zoidberg''': She also took home two rolls of Scotch tape.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Farnsworth''': Thank you, Dr. Zoidberg. Hermes, incentivize that employee.''[Hermes throws a fish into Zoidberg's mouth.]'' As for you, Leela, I'm letting you off with a warning.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Leela''': Oh, thank you.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Farnsworth''': A warning that will be administered by this 50,000-volt shock collar.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Leela''': Zoidberg, I'm gonna put my boot so far up your cloaca, you'll be... ''[She is shocked.]'' Ow!</poem><br />
<poem>'''Farnsworth''': The collar will be triggered any time your thoughts turn to violence. ''[She is shocked.]''<br />
<poem>'''Leela''': Ouch!</poem><br />
<poem>'''Farnsworth''': Profanity.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Leela''': Son of a... ''[She is shocked.]'' Ow!</poem><br />
<poem>'''Farnsworth''': Or perversions of a sexual nature.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Leela''': ''[She is silent for a moment, then is shocked.]'' Ow!</poem><br />
<poem>'''Hermes''': Sorry, it's the only collar they had in stock at Office Depot.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Zoidberg''' :I hope you picked up some Scotch tape while you were there.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Bender''': That's a good one.</poem><br />

<br />
<poem>'''Narrator''': Imagine, if you will, an announcer you can barely understand. He refers to a... *incoherent mumbling* But you're not quite sure what he said. He seems to be eating something, or perhaps he's a little drunk. It's remotely possible that he just said something about... The Scary Door.</poem><br />
:''[Pan down to a normal farm day. Pan over to a barn with chickens and a tractor around it. Suddenly two UFO's enter and start destroying everything. Soldiers fire artillery and bullets at the hordes of ships.]''<br />
<poem>'''Soldier''': Firing, sir!</poem><br />
<poem>'''Soldier''': It's all over. Our guns and bombs are useless against the aliens.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Farmer''': The saucers! Theys'a crashin'!</poem><br />
:''[The saucers are crashing into the ground and barn. A view of a field shows many saucers slamming into the ground and the farmer pulls himself up to watch.]''<br />
<poem>'''Narrator''': In the end, it was not guns or bombs that defeated the aliens, but that humblest of all God's creatures, the Tyrannosaurus Rex.</poem><br />
:''[A Tyrannosaurus Rex smacks a UFO to the ground and eats the alien inside. Leela turns off the TV. She is sitting in the lounge with Hermes.]''<br />
<poem>'''Leela''': I can't believe TiVo suggested that piece of... ''[She is shocked.]'' Ow! Come on, Hermes. Surely you have the authority to remove this damn ''[The collar shocks her, but it goes unnoticed.]'' collar.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Hermes''': Alas, no. I got the key but not the authority.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Leela''': ''[She reaches for the key and gets shocked.]'' Yeow! Well, who does have the authority?</poem><br />
<poem>'''Hermes''': Only the staff doctor. You'll have to convince him that you have resolved your anger issues.</poem><br />

:''[Bender screams.]''<br />
<poem>'''Indian Boy''': What do we do? What do we do?</poem><br />
<poem>'''Bender''': Wait, I know. I make use of my rod of fireballs. ''[He makes explosion noises.]''<br />
<poem>'''Cubert''': ''[He scoffs.]'' Everyone knows red dragons are immune to fireballs as well as all other forms of incendiary attack.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Bender''': Yes, but I aim not at the dragon but at the river itself to create a shroud of steam through which we can escape.</poem><br />
<poem>'''ALL''': Whoa!</poem><br />

:''[Fry backs out of the room. Cut to the Lab where a monkey and Farnsworth stare at each other. They're both wearing headgear connected to tubes. Fry enters.]''<br />

<poem>'''Monkey''' (In Farnsworth's Voice): Well, you can always talk to me about anything, Fry. What's on your mind?</poem><br />
<poem>'''Fry''': Well, it's... it's about my friend Bender.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Farnsworth Monkey''': Mmm. I see. Show me on this anatomically correct doll exactly where he touched you.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Fry''': No, it's nothing like that. It's just that I am worried about him. He's being playing an awful lot of Dungeons & Dragons.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Farnsworth Monkey''': Dungeons &... Good God! Hasn't he seen the Afterschool Special? You've got to talk to him, Fry. Make him quit now before he completely loses his mind.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Fry''': Okay, I will.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Farnsworth Monkey''': Good boy. Just don't let him touch you down there.</poem><br />

:''['''Scene''': Zoidberg's Office. Leela lays on a bed while Zoidberg examines an X-Ray.]''<br />
<br />
<poem>'''Zoidberg''': Well, here's your problem, right here. You've got a skull embedded in your head.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Leela''': ''[Annoyed sigh.]'' You're absolutely right, Doctor. Can the collar come off now?</poem><br />
<poem>'''Zoidberg''': Let me just peel your head a little and see if I can get that skull out. ''[He pulls a large potato peeler. He prepares to "fix" Leela's problem, but she gets angry and activates the shock collar while kicking the utensil out of his grip. It flies into the groin of an upside down poster of the human body.]''<br />
<poem>'''Zoidberg''': So, you tell me, little miss expert, why always with the temper? Calm down for once and think. Here, enjoy a relaxing spritz from my empathy bladder. ''[She is squirted with a light green liquid and the collar emits a shock. Leela isn't phased by it.]''<br />
<poem>'''Zoidberg''': What is it, already? What's the cause of your anger?</poem><br />
<poem>'''Leela''': I guess I would have to say, I hate you. ''[The collar emits a shock.]''<br />
<poem>'''Zoidberg''': I'm beginning to understand. It all goes back to your parents.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Leela''': What? ''[The collar is intermittently shocking her now.]''<br />
<poem>'''Zoidberg''': You harbour resentment because they pushed you to study medicine when all you ever wanted was to be a song-and-dance man. ''[He dances around and sings a tune then falls to his knees and sobs.]'' Why? Whyyy?</poem><br />
<poem>'''Leela''': I was raised in an orphanarium. My parents are sewer mutants who I never even met until a few years ago.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Zoidberg''': Then you've got to go to them and work this song-and-dance stuff out. Maybe have them cook me nice dinner. No scallions. I hate them. ''(To an intercom:)'' Amy, cancel my appointments.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Amy''' (From intercom): Stop calling me.</poem><br />
<br />
:''['''Scene''': Bender's apartment. Bender is washing a pot and Fry enters the kitchen.]''<br />
<br />
<poem>'''Fry''': Bender, please don't get mad, but I think you might be playing too much Dungeons & Dragons.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Bender''': You're absolutely right, Fry. I almost went insane, but after this heart-to-heart talk, I've decided to quit.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Fry''': Really? Whew! That's a load off my toad.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Bender''': Now, if you'll excuse me. ''[He places the pot on his head.]'' I'm off to slay the werewolf of Goblin Mountain. ''[He waves his arms around, makes gibbery noises and dives head first out the window. Cut to Hermaphrobot screwing her left breast in place under a street light.

<poem>'''Hermaphrobot''': You couldn't afford it, honey. ''[She snaps her fingers.]''<br />
:''[Cut to Nibbler moving litter to cover of a fresh ball of Dark Matter. Bender jumps next to litter box and startles him.]''<br />
<poem>'''Bender''': Foolish leprechaun, I scoop your treasure in the name of the fancy men. ''[He scoops Nibbler's poop and dumps it in his chest.]''<br />

<poem>'''Leela''': Satisfied, Zoidberg? My relationship with my parents is fine.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Turanga Munda''': Now, hold on, Leela. Maybe this torture collar is good for you.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Leela''': What? ''[ she is shocked.]'' Ow!</poem><br />
<poem>'''Turanga Munda''': It'll control your temper. Men like a woman who's not always slamming their head in the car door.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Turanga Morris''': She's right. That's what first attracted me to your mother. ''[He laughs and Leela's collar emits a shock.]''<br />
<poem>'''Turanga Munda''': So, Leela, I understand your friend here is a physician, and I'm not seeing a ring on his claw.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Leela''': Mom, he's a cockroach from outer space. ''[A large shock is dispensed and Leela screams.]''<br />
<poem>'''Zoidberg''': Good, Leela, work that anger out. Excuse me a moment, I'm swarming with parasites. ''[He sticks his fork under a flap on his chest and many bugs crawl around it. There is a knock on the window, Turanga Morris answers it.]''<br />

<poem>'''Zoidberg''': No. Not the spork.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Fry''': ''[Standing in front of the group with a ladle in his hand.]'' Beholdeth, Titanius, I cast a freeze ray upon you.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Bender''': ''[He scoffs.]'' That's ridiculous. There's no such thing as a "freeze ray." What, you mean a cone of coldness?</poem><br />
<poem>'''Fry''': Yeah, that.</poem><br />

<poem>'''Morbo''': Mom, you control the world's only dark matter mine. Tell us, why are fuel prices so high?</poem><br />
<poem>'''Mom''': Oh! It's terrible, isn't it? Dark matter is just so rare nowadays, but we'll keep pinching loaf after loaf from the bowels of the earth, even if I lose money on every log.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Morbo''': If you are losing money, how did you post record profits last quarter?</poem><br />
:''[Morbo holds up a Quarterly Report book for "Mombil." It shows Mom squeezing a drop of liquid out of the Earth. There is a dollar sign in the droplet. Mom nervously clears her throat.]''<br />
<poem>'''Mom''': You look thin, care for one of my famous pecan clusters?</poem><br />
<poem>'''Morbo''': ''[He reaches for one, but hesitates.]'' Morbo shouldn't. It will go straight to Morbo's gargantuan forehead. Oh, what the heck? I guess I could destroy one or two of them. ''[He devours the entire plate and all of the cookies.]''<br />

<poem>'''Farnsworth''': So, in one instant, I had transformed all dark matter everywhere into a new crystalline form... ('''Younger Farnsworth''' to Younger Mom:) ...making it the most potent fuel since primitive man first ignited mastodon flatulence to heat his cave.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Younger Mom''': I'm intrigued, Hubert. You have my undivided attention.</poem><br />
:''[Mom is breast feeding Walt and Larry at the same time. Farnsworth pulls out a match and ignites a ball of dark matter causing combustion. It blows the two of them to the ground and the babies start crying.]''<br />
<poem>'''Younger Mom''': Shut up, you milk-sucking leeches! A new super fuel, eh? We're rich.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Younger Farnsworth''': Indeed, we are.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Younger Mom''': Not you, we. Us, we. ''[A younger Wernstrom walks into her arm.]'' I'm getting back together with my ex-husband.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Younger Farnsworth''': Wernstrom !</poem><br />
<poem>'''Younger Wernstrom''': You've been played, Farnsworth. Played like a cheap harpsichord.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Younger Mom''': Walt, fire that employee like Mommy taught you.</poem><br />
:''[Walt pushes a button on a toy. Farnsworth finds this cute, but it forced through the wall by a large piston. Cut back to present times.]''<br />
<poem>'''Leela''': Professor, maybe I can help you get even with Mom. I spend most of my time thinking about how to get revenge on a bad boss.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Fry''': Me, too.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Zoidberg''': Ditto!</poem><br />
<poem>'''Hermes''': Likewise.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Amy''': I made a blinding powder.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Farnsworth''': Thanks, but that won't be necessary because I have the ultimate weapon. ''[Cut to the scene when the first crystal was created. A black crystal shoots out of the machine and Farnsworth puts it in his pocket. VO:]'' You see, in the instant the energy crystal was created, there also came into being an opposite crystal made of pure anti-backwards energy.</poem><br />
<poem>'''ALL''': Wow!</poem><br />
<poem>'''Hermes''': So?</poem><br />
<poem>'''Farnsworth''': So, this! If ever the two crystals should meet, their wave functions would collapse like Raymond Burr's trampoline, once again rendering all dark matter inert and useless as fuel.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Hermes''': But then we'll have no fuel.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Farnsworth''': But once we free society from dependence on Mom's dark matter, scientists will finally care enough to develop cleaner, alternative fuels.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Fry''': Scientists like you!</poem><br />
<poem>'''Farnsworth''': No, not me. I'm too busy developing makeup for dogs. That's where the money is.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Leela''': ''[Her collar is active during her rousing.]'' This is our chance to teach Mom a lesson. Come on! Let's take the anti-crystal and shove it up Mom's regular crystal.</poem><br />
<poem>'''ALL''': Yeah.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Hermes''': Fight the power!</poem><br />
<poem>'''Farnsworth''': There's just one, small problem, and it's a big one. I hid the crystal and I can't remember where.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Hermes''': Well, surely it's just a matter of waiting till you next move your bowels and then using a potato masher...</poem><br />
<poem>'''Farnsworth''': Don't you think I already tried that? No. I'm afraid, the crystal is lost forever.</poem><br />
:''[Cut to the crystal being used as a die by the boys playing Dungeons & Dragons.]''<br />
<poem>'''Dwight''': Nine? You did it. You outwitted the fungus.</poem><br />
<poem>'''ALL''': Woohoo!</poem><br />

:''[He presses a button and hammers begin hitting the robots on the head. The Teapot bot is shattered by its hammer and Rosie cleans the mess up.]''<br />
<poem>'''Rosie''': Everything must be clean, very clean. That's why the dog had to die. He was a dirty dog. Dirty, dirty. Also, that boy, Elroy. Dirty, dirty.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Dr. Perceptron''': Who would like to share their feelings?</poem><br />
<poem>'''Intercom Assistant''': I feel unappreciated at work.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Dr. Perceptron''': What? I can barely understand you.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Intercom Assistant''': I said I feel...</poem><br />
<poem>'''Mad Hatterbot''': Change places.</poem><br />
:''[Everybody switches seats.]''<br />
<poem>'''Roberto''': Well, well. Looks like old Roberto is the focus of attention now. Stop looking at me. ''[He makes his "knifing" noises.]''<br />
<poem>'''Dr. Perceptron''': Calm down, Roberto. Tell us about your childhood.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Roberto''': I was designed by a team of engineers attempting to build an insane robot. But it seems they failed.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Convenience Store Bot''': Um, actually... ''[He coughs up some candy bars.]''<br />
<poem>'''Bender''': Look, we have to accept the fact that we all have a serious problem. And if we ever wanna get out of here, the first step is to admit it.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Roberto''': Amen.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Dr. Perceptron''': Good, Bender.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Rosie''': That's right.</poem><br />
<poem>: There's a band of river trolls living in the moat and they may have no intention of letting us out of this castle, unless we hand over the Golden Scepter of Zanthor.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Roberto''': Say what? Dude's crazy.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Dr. Perceptron''': Bender, please, try to...</poem><br />
<poem>'''Bender''': I know not of this Bender. I am Titanius Anglesmith, fancy man of Cornwood.</poem><br />

<poem>'''Amy''': You perfected dog mascara?</poem><br />
<poem>'''Farnsworth''': Far from it. If you ask me, they look like a bunch of hookers. But what I have invented is a means of locating the missing crystal. ''[Everybody gasps.]'' When I push this button, the crystal will emit a high-frequency stink.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Zoidberg''': ''[He is putting on eye mascara.]'' Hurray!</poem><br />
<poem>'''Farnsworth''': There. Now, with any luck I'll detect it with my smelling aid. ''[He sticks a device in his nose and it begins beeping.]'' I just pray to all powerful Atheismo that we find it before Mom does.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Hermes''': Do you smell the crystal, Professor?</poem><br />
<poem>'''Farnsworth''': No, damn it! Just the alluring scent of Obsession for spaniels.</poem><br />

''[The map zooms into Planet Express.]'' Planet-sucking-Express? Of course. How could I have been so dumb?

<poem>'''Nurse Ratchet''': Don't worry, those clamps are for my own protection.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Dr. Perceptron''': Do you know where you are, Bender?</poem><br />
<poem>'''Bender''': Sure do, I'm in the magical land of Cornwood, frolicking with wenches.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Dr. Perceptron''': Close. You're in the loony bin for a robotomy. I will begin by drilling through the eye to access the frontal processor. ''[He begins drilling through Bender's eye.]''<br />
<poem>'''Nurse Ratchet''': Can't you just use the access panel?</poem><br />
<poem>'''Dr. Perceptron''': Either way is fine.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Bender''': ''[He sniffs.]'' Does anyone else smell burning dragon beak?</poem><br />
:''[Cut to Mom's office. Fry, Leela and Farnsworth are in the ventilation ducts above. Leela opens the grated panel and they gasp.]'' </poem><br />
<poem>'''Mom''': Wherever you are, Farnsworth, my boys will find you. ''[She pans over the security monitors on her desk. Her three sons approach her.]''<br />
<poem>'''Walt''': They've eluded us, Mother. But rest assured, we've already slapped each other, so there's no need to... ''[She triple slams them.]''<br />
<poem>'''Mom''': You'll thank me some day when you are slapping your own kids. ''[She walks over to the single non-local metaparticle crystal.]'' I know Farnsworth's game. He is going to try to poke his clammy old crystal at my hot fiery crystal.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Larry''': Mom !</poem><br />
<poem>'''Mom''': If the crystals get within six inches of each other... ''[She slaps Larry.]'' Wham! All my dark matter will be worthless.</poem><br />
:''[She sits back down in her chair and a slipper floats down and lands on her head. She examines it and spots the three of them shuffling along the top of a circular vent. She screams and then Farnsworth screams back.]'' </poem><br />
<poem>'''Mom''': Get them!</poem><br />
:''[Her sons try to climb the icey wall to reach them.]''<br />
<poem>'''Leela''': Keep going, Professor. I'll take care of the ditz brothers. ''[She swings over to the top of the incline the brothers are trying to scale and slide down, boot first, at them. She kicks them and then slides across the icy floor. The collar is emitting a shock.]'' Ooh. That feels good.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Mom''': Oh, for crying out... ''[She fires at Farnsworth, but the shots quickly whither away to nothing.]'' Oh, the freaking battery's dead. Walt, where's the charger?</poem><br />
<poem>'''Walt''': In the hardware drawer, Mother. ''[Leela punches him and she is shocked.]''<br />
<poem>'''Mom''': Damn tangled mess of wires.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Farnsworth''': We're almost there. The crystals are beginning to engorge. ''[Cut to Nibbler. The glow from a ball of Dark Matter can be seen in his belly. All the balls being harvested from the other Nibblonians are also emitting a pulsing glow. Cut to a Dark Matter station. The individual nozzles are glowing. Cut to Bender, who is still being drilled into. His chest, which is filled with spheres of Dark Matter, is also glowing. Cut back to Mom's office. Leela and the brothers are trying to battle on ice, Mom is trying to untangle the charger and Fry is hanging onto Farnsworth as he leans closer to the single non-local metaparticle crystal.]'' I can't quite reach. Fry, grab onto my easy-fit waistband. Just a few more inches. Come on, really wedgie it on in there. ''[Fry pulls harder on the underpants and they rip, sending Farnsworth toward the ground. He, somehow, lands on his feet.]'' So, that's why they call me the Catman. ''[Fry lands behind him.]''<br />
<poem>'''Mom''': Nobody move. I've found the charger. ''[She clicks the trigger twice and nothing happens.]'' Hang on. I'm on it. Okay, there!</poem><br />
<poem>'''Fry''': Save us, Catman.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Mom''': It's over, Hubert. Give me the anti-backwards crystal.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Farnsworth''': Never! ''[He eats the crystal and begins to chuckle. The crystal glows in his stomach, along with the keys to the ship.]''<br />
<poem>'''Mom''': Oh, bravo. You're in a crap-harvesting factory, genius. Walt! Larry! Start harvesting. ''[Walt picks up a large syringe labelled "Prunes" and Larry picks up a bucket.]'' </poem><br />
<poem>'''Farsnworth''': No! ''[Mom laughs.]''<br />
:''[Cut back to the robotomy.]''<br />
<poem>'''Dr. Perceptron''': I will now delicately jerk out your imagination, severing fantasy's grip on your nerd-circuit.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Bender''': Cornwood! ''[Purple waves expanding from Bender's head fills the screen and Bender vanishes in a bright flash.]''<br />
<poem>'''Dr. Perceptron''': Illogical. Illogical. Computational overload.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Nurse Rachet''': But, Doctor, I love you. ''[Dr. Perceptron's head explodes.]''<br />
:''[Cut back to Mom. She is still laughing.]''<br />
<poem>'''Mom''': Oh, what now?</poem><br />
:''[The same purple waves move through the office and the floor begins to crack. Everybody falls into the hole with the ice and scream.]''<br />
<br />
:''['''Scene''': A green pasture is shown upside down. The ground shakes and rocks blast out from underneath. The shot rotates 180 degrees and Fry climbs out of the hole.]''<br />

<poem>'''Leegola''': '''Yeah, I think so.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Frydo''': Wait a second. Is there something different about your hooves? ''[He gasps.]''<br />
<poem>'''Leegola''': Oh, Lord. I'm half-horse and half-naked.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Frydo''': Where the hell are we, hell?</poem><br />
:''[A horse is heard neighing and someone approaches them on it.]''<br />
<poem>'''Frydo''': Bender?</poem><br />

:''[Frydo and Leegola gasp.]''<br />
<br />
:''['''Scene''': Titanius Anglesmith's Castle. A feast is taking place.]''<br />
<br />
<poem>'''Titanius Anglesmith''': Wretched peasants, put aside your cares and feast on the succulent flesh of the roast munchkin!</poem><br />
:''[Frydo and Leegola both show distaste toward the rotating, crispy munchkin.]''<br />
<poem>'''Peasent Cook''': Care for a slice of scroto?</poem><br />
<poem>'''Frydo''': Uh... that's his name, right?</poem><br />
<poem>'''Peasent Cook''': 'Tis also that, sir.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Titanius Anglesmith''': We're honored this eve by a visit from my friends of old, Frydo and Leegola. So let the dwarves do their gay dance and let the gnomes play their sissy piccolos. ''[They begin dancing and music is played.]'' Dance! Dance, you little freaks. Faster. ''[The music speeds up.]'' Faster! ''[The dancing and music speeds up more and a dwarf trips and falls toward Titanius Anglesmith.]''<br />
<poem>'''Dwarf''': My ankle!</poem><br />
<poem>'''Titanius Anglesmith''': To the kitchen with him !</poem><br />
<poem>'''Dwarf''': Wait! Wait! Wait! I do impressions. Behold! The swamp hag: "Get out of my swamp, you kids!"</poem><br />
<poem>'''Titanius Anglesmith''': Don't let him get too crispy.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Calculon''': Lord Anglesmith.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Titanius Anglesmith''': You have ridden hard, noble squire. May I offer you a horn of ale and a shank of dwarf?</poem><br />
<poem>'''Calculon''': 'Tis dire news, sire. Dark riders approach.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Titanius Anglesmith''': ''[He gasps.]'' You shall be handsomely rewarded, sir knight. We ride at once! ''[He pulls one of two ropes in front of a sign labelled "Drawbridge" and Calculon is squished by the drawbridge.]'' Oops! ''[He pulls the second rope and the drawbridge flips over to the other side.]'' Frydo! Saddle up that trusty steed.</poem><br />
:''[Fry rides Leegola out of the castle and is holding a lance. Titanius Anglesmith is behind them.]''<br />
<poem>'''Frydo''': What's happening? And why am I enjoying it so much?</poem><br />
<poem>'''Titanius Anglesmith''': Foul beast-bags! Meet thy doom!</poem><br />
:''[Titanius Anglesmith lodges his lance in the ground and is thrown off his horse, off screen.]''<br />
<poem>'''Waltazar''': Follow me.</poem><br />
:''[Frydo rides toward the three sons, but is impaled by Waltazar's lance against a tree. Ignus runs into Waltazar and impales him and Frydo.]''<br />

<poem>'''Ignus''': Well, you said to follow you.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Waltazar''': Well, now I say follow this! ''[He hits Larius with the handle of his lance. Frydo falls to the ground and drops the Die of Power on the ground.]''<br />
<poem>'''Larius''': The Die of Power! He's rolling it.</poem><br />

<poem>'''Titanius Anglesmith''': I'm back bab-... ''[He gasps and falls to his knees as he watches the die roll.]''<br />
<poem>'''Die of Power''': Seven. ''[An appendix comes out of the die and the seventh attack is "Banish Foes."]''<br />
<poem>'''Titanius Anglesmith''': "Banish foes"? Cool.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Waltazar''': No! No!</poem><br />
:''[The three sons disappear from their horses and reappear in a swamp.]''<br />
<poem>'''Larius''': I got to say, I had no idea the Die of Power was so powerful.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Waltazar''': Did you have any idea of... ''[He backhands Larius.]''<br />
<poem>'''Swamp Hag''': Get out of my swamp, you kids!</poem><br />
<br />
:''['''Scene''': Titanius Anglesmith, Leegola and the wounded Frydo are riding through a forest.]''<br />
<br />
<poem>'''Leegola''': I can't believe I'm saying this, but that was really exciting. I've never felt so alive. ''[Frydo makes death noises.]'' What else can we slay? Is that a hobbit over there?</poem><br />
<poem>Titanius Anglesmith: No, that's a hobo and a rabbit. But they're making a hobbit.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Frydo''': Thank God, an outhouse. I can't hold it in much longer. And by it, I mean my entrails.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Titanius Anglesmith''': Hush! This be no outhouse, but the lair of the great wizard Grayfarn.</poem><br />
:''[Titanius Anglesmith knocks on the door.]''<br />
<poem>'''Greyfarn''': Who is it? ''[He opens the door.]''<br />
<poem>'''Titanius Anglesmith''': 'Tis I, Titanius.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Greyfarn''': Just a moment. ''[He closes the door.]''<br />
<poem>'''Titanius Anglesmith''': ''[He shakes his head and makes a disgusted noise.]'' Methinks the wizard be casting a powerful spell, indeed.</poem><br />
:''[A zipper is heard and the door opens, but the interior has changed from an outhouse to a room with a fireplace.]''<br />
<poem>'''Greyfarn''': Come in! Come in! Yes. 'Tis a powerful object in both our worlds. If you failed to destroy it in yours, perhaps you were brought here that you might have a second chance.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Frydo''': So, this land is real?</poem><br />
<poem>'''Greyfarn''': Oh, dreadfully real. If you die here, you'll really be dead. But instead of science, we believe in crazy hocus-pocus. It's like Kansas.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Leegola''': God help us.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Greyfarn''': Cornwood's troubles began hundreds or perhaps millions of years ago. ''(VO:)'' Deep in the Geysers of Gygax, Momon herself injection-molded the Dice of Power from the living plastic.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Momon''' (in flashback): ''[She picks up the freshly molded dice and begins laughing.]'' Damn, these are hot.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Leegola''': Ah ha! In our universe she's called Mom.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Greyfarn''': In your universe, are you taught not to interrupt? Evidently not. Anyway, Momon spawned three rotten sons, whom you've already had the displeasure of meeting. Waltazar, Larius, and the dumbest of all, the halfwit Ignus, bastard son of Momon and the brainless He-demon. Curse you, Momon, queen of all that is evil and not very good in bed. And I'm not just saying that because she dumped me. ''[Fade to flashback. Momon is plucking her eyebrows with a scorpion while Greyfarn is playing a euchalali.] (VO:)'' Yes, I was once her consort. I was blinded by love, and later, scorpion venom. ''[Momon squirts venom in his eyes.]'' I'm blind! ''(Out of flashback:)'' But Momon has one weakness. She put too much of her power into this. The generalissimo of dice. ''[He places the black Die of Power on a table.]''<br />
<poem>'''Titanius Anglesmith''': Yeah? Well, bite my shiny metal face. ''[He slams his face against the die and the table.]''<br />
<poem>'''Greyfarn''': Don't be foolish, Titanius. If you had paid attention in freshman alchemy, instead of frequenting the bawdyhouse, you'd know there's only one way to destroy it. In the boiling plastic from which it was molded.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Frydo''': Like that machine that makes wax lions at the zoo.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Greyfarn''': Quiet, you. We must infiltrate the Geysers of Gygax, the impenetrable stronghold of Momon.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Titanius Anglesmith''': Impossible. Impossible, I say.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Greyfarn''': No, Titanius. For we maintain one advantage, the element of surprise. ''[Pan over to the die, Momon is watching through it while laughing.]''<br />
<br />
:''['''Scene''': The crew is walking through a light forest.]''<br />
<br />
<poem>'''Titanius Anglesmith''': Verily, our quest has begun.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Hermaphrodite''': Stop right there.</poem><br />
:''[They gasp as he walks out from behind a bush with others. They too are centaurs.]''<br />
<poem>'''Frydo''': Hermes?</poem><br />
<poem>'''Leegola''': He's a centaur like me.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Frydo''': You wish.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Hermaphrodite''': I am Hermaphrodite, most beautiful of centaurs. Gaze upon me and weep at my loveliness.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Greyfarn''': Very well.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Titanius Anglesmith''': Loveliest of centaurs, we seek to end Momon's reign of evil. Have you stout fighters at your command?</poem><br />
<poem>'''Hermaphrodite''': One thousand archers of truest aim. ''[Pan over to many archers standing on a hill.]'' Fire!</poem><br />
<poem>'''Titanius Anglesmith''': Hey guys, I forgot I had this pumpkin. ''[He holds up the pumpkin and the archers' arrows carve it into a sculpture of Titanius. One more arrow comes in on fire and lights the jack-o-lantern.]''<br />
<poem>'''Leegola''': I knew it. My people are mighty warriors. Our enemies will be like Swiss cheese with blood coming out of the holes.</poem><br />
:''[The centaurs object.]''<br />
<poem>'''Female Centaur''': We centaurs are creatures of peace.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Leegola''': Oh, Lord.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Hermaphrodite''': Violence is never justified. We shall not join your quest. And furthermore, if mayhem be your intent, you may not cross our lands.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Leegola''': Or what?</poem><br />
<poem>'''Hermaphrodite''': ''[He is intimidated.]'' Or... Uh... Mmm? ''[Softly.]'' You may pass.</poem><br />
<br />
:''['''Scene''': The crew is trying to find their way to Momon, but are having difficulties. They travel over a large wooden bridge. Cut to them looking over a map while standing on a cliff in the snow.]''<br />
<br />
<poem>'''Greyfarn''': We're not there, we're here.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Titanius Anglesmith''': No, this way.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Greyfarn''': I mean, here.</poem><br />
:''[They walk back over the bridge they first crossed. Cut to them standing on the shoulders of a tree that is walking over a large body of water. He then sets them down on land.]''<br />
<poem>'''Greyfarn''': Thank you, kindly, Treedledum.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Treedledum''': Okey-doke. Anything else I can do?</poem><br />
:''[Cut to the crew around a fire that is burning Treedledum.]''<br />
<poem>'''Leegola''': You know who I'm gonna miss? That tree guy.</poem><br />
:''[It's now daytime and there are many camps positioned along the visible path to Momon.]''<br />
<poem>'''Greyfarn''': Bad news, fancy men. Momon's guards stand watch at the pass. 'Tis as if she somehow anticipated us.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Titanius Anglesmith''': And so our quest comes to an end. I only regret not giving up sooner.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Greyfarn''': Fret not, Titanius. For we still have one hope, the Cave of Hopelessness.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Titanius Anglesmith''': Let me know how that turns out.</poem><br />
<br />
:''['''Scene''': The foursome are walking toward the entrance of the Cave of Hopelessness. There is a large ogre acting as a bouncer.]''<br />
<br />
<poem>'''Ogre''': Halt. Are you on the list? I'm not seeing you on the list.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Leegola''': I'll split this doofus in half.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Titanius Anglesmith''': Wait, I got it. Yeah. My cousin's in the band. The band of merry men. Please, we were already in there. I just need to go back for my coat.</poem><br />
:''[The water behind them begins bubbling. An aquatic version of Amy rises from the water. Frydo gasps.]''<br />
<poem>'''Gynecaladriel''': I am Gynecaladriel, queen of the water nymphos.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Leegola''': All right. I'll split this doofus in half.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Gynecaladriel''': Stand aside and I will use my powers to overwhelm the guard. ''[Time cut, the four of them are standing at the entrance. Gynecaladriel walks out from behind a bush where the ogre is asleep and ties up her top.]'' Behold, the deed is done.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Titanius Anglesmith''': Hi oh!</poem><br />
:''[Cut to them walking through the cave holding torches.]''<br />
<poem>'''Frydo''': Mr. Wizard, why is this place called the Cave of Hopelessness?</poem><br />
<poem>'''Greyfarn''': Oh, fear not, lad. 'Tis named for its discoverer, Reginald Hopelessness...</poem><br />
<poem>'''Frydo''': Whew!</poem><br />
<poem>'''Greyfarn''': ...the first man to be eaten alive by the Tunneling Horror.</poem><br />
:''[They stop as shadows appear on the wall of the curve ahead of them.]''<br />
<poem>'''Frydo''': What's that? The Tunneling Horror?</poem><br />
<poem>'''Gynecaladriel''': No, it's morcs.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Morcs''': Hey, listen. Nanu, nanu. Shazbot.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Titanius Anglesmith''': Oh, God, no. They're so aggravating.</poem><br />
:''[The morcs speak really quickly while being slaughtered by the crew.]''<br />
<poem>'''Morcs''': Oh, fantastic. Nanu, nanu. Reality, what a concept. Fantastic. ''[During the killing, Gynecaladriel ends up kissing a mork.]'' Mindy, Mindy, Mindy.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Gynecaladriel''': Shut up! Shut up!</poem><br />
<poem>'''Morcs''': Oh, fantastic. Oh, fantastic. Oh, wonderful.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Frydo''': Maybe it'll go away if we just don't laugh at it.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Titanius Anglesmith''': It doesn't.</poem><br />
:''[Cut to the team backing out of the tunnel and into a large area of the cave. Leegola is killing the remaining morcs in the tunnel.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Morcs''': Nanu, nanu. ''[Leegola turns away from the tunnel.]'' Oh, shazbot. ''[She kicks the last mork with her back hooves.]''<br />
<poem>'''Frydo''': Well, at least we didn't have to face the tunneling whatchimacallit. ''[The cave begins to shake.]'' Uh-oh.</poem><br />
:''[Zoidberg's head pokes out from behind a wall.]''<br />
<poem>'''Zoidberg''': Enough already with the banging and the swashbuckling.</poem><br />
:''[He crawls over the wall to reveal he's a large, centepede-esque creature. Everybody screams as he stand in front of them.]''<br />
<poem>'''Leegola''': Oh, I'm gonna enjoy killing you. ''[she shoots an arrow into his chest and he snaps it off.]''<br />
<poem>'''Zoidberg''': Watch where you're shooting that thing. ''[She shoots him again.]'' Again? What, am I talking to myself over here?</poem><br />
<poem>'''Leegola''': Mutilate! ''[She draws her sword and begins stabbing his belly.]''<br />
<poem>'''Zoidberg''': Okay. Now, I'm getting a little mad even.</poem><br />
:''[He makes noises as he snatches up the five of them with his claws. Leegola gets loose.]''<br />
<poem>'''Leegola''': I'll kill you and eat your heart, you abomination. ''[She slices his chest open, pulls out his heart and tears a chunk out with her teeth.]''<br />
<poem>'''Zoidberg''': ''[He laughs.]'' Don't make me laugh. The very idea that removing only one of my two hearts could... Hey, what are you doing down there? ''[Leegola pulls out his second heart and drops it.]'' Now, I'm dead. ''[He falls to the ground, but Leegola is still stabbing him.]''<br />
<poem>'''Frydo''': Leela, it's over. You killed him enough.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Leegola''': I'm not taking any chances with the Tunneling Horror.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Zoidberg''': What? I'm not the Tunneling Horror. I hate that guy. Always with the tunneling. Anyway, I'm dead. ''[He lays back down.]''<br />
<poem>'''Leegola''': So, you're just an innocent monster. Oh, God. What have I done?</poem><br />
:''[The cave starts rumbling.]''<br />
<poem>'''Zoidberg''': Oh! There he goes again.</poem><br />
:''[A large, killer worm creature comes out of the ground and roars at Leegola and Frydo, who are standing on Zoidberg. Everybody screams.]''<br />
<poem>'''Titanius Anglesmith''': The Tunneling Horror! ''[He turns to the side and vomits nuts and bolts.]''<br />
<poem>'''Frydo''': Greyfarn, what do we do?</poem><br />
<poem>'''Greyfarn''': ''[He is making out with Gynecaladriel.]'' Do about what?</poem><br />
:''[The Tunneling Horror lunges at Frydo and Leegola, but misses and grabs Titanius Anglesmith with its tail pincers.]''<br />
<poem>'''Frydo''': Why aren't you killing it, Leela? You love killing.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Leegola''': No, no more killing.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Zoidberg''': Oh! So, suddenly, Miss Goody Four-shoes over here doesn't kill anymore. She killed me not five minutes ago. What am I? Chopped liver?</poem><br />
<poem>'''Leegola''': Shut up. ''[She slashes into his chest.]''<br />
<poem>'''Zoidberg''': Ow! Stop chopping my liver.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Leegola''': You're on your own. ''(Sobbing:)'' I refuse to hurt another living thing. ''[She throws her sword behind her and it decapitates Zoidberg. She then gallops out of the cave. Frydo turns to look at Titanius Anglesmith getting thrashed around against the walls.]''<br />
<poem>'''Frydo''': All right. I may be weak and I may be small, but I don't see how I can possibly destroy that monster. Guess I'll just huck whatever's in my pockets at him. At least I can say I tried.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Titanius Anglesmith''': Any time now.</poem><br />
:''[Frydo throws a box of Tic-Tacs, a peanut and then the Die of Power.]''<br />
<poem>'''Frydo''': The Die of Power. I forgot to remember to roll it.</poem><br />
:''[Everybody turns to the die and gasps. Gynecaladriel and Greyfarn stop kissing and Gynecaladriel places Greyfarn's dentures back in his mouth. The die lands on three: grow.]''<br />
<poem>'''Die of Power''': Three.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Frydo''': "Grow?" I don't see anything growing. Everything is getting smaller. ''[Frydo rips through his clothes and shoes as he grows in size then hits his head on the ceiling of the cave.]'' Ow. Wait a second. I'm big! In your face, everyone from middle school especially Jeremy. ''[He grabs the Tunneling Horror and begins punching it in the back, eventually punching a hole right through it. When he pulls his fist out air escapes from the creature and it shrinks down to the size of a normal bug and scampers to a hold in the wall. Frydo then shrinks back to normal size while laughing, his pitch matches his size.]'' Wow, that was intense. You guys got to try the Die of Power.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Titanius Anglesmith''': I'll take a hit.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Frydo''': Hands off the dodecalicious. ''[He snarls at Titanius Anglesmith and protects the die.]''<br />
<poem>'''Greyfarn''': Beware, Frydo. Don't be seduced. Hang on a second. ''[He kisses Gynecaladriel.]'' Resist the allure of the die. For to defeat Momon, we must melt it in the super bombastic, bubbling plastic from whence it came.</poem><br />
:''[Momon is watching from the die:]''<br />
<poem>'''Greyfarn''': For to defeat Momon, we must melt it in the super bombastic, bubbling plastic from whence it came.</poem><br />
:''[Momon is speaking to her sons.]''<br />
<poem>'''Momon''': I send you to kill them and they're not even maimed? That's what I get for sending boys to do a mom's job.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Larius''': Sorry, Mom.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Momon''': Sorry doesn't put heads on my table. Peaches. ''[An ogre comes out of a tunnel.]'' You're up.</poem><br />
:''[Peaches grabs a flail that has a hand instead of a spiked ball. He whirls is around in front of the sons.]''<br />

<br />
:''['''Scene''': Hermaphrodite and another centaur are walking in a circle in the middle of a stadium.]''<br />
<br />
<poem>'''Centaur Opponent''': You are an able opponent, Hermaphrodite. But hear me well when I posit that we must abhor violence in all its forms.</poem><br />
:''[The crowd cheers.]''<br />
<poem>'''Hermaphrodite''': I offer a dissenting opinion.</poem><br />
<poem>'''ALL''': ''[A gasp-like "huh?"]''<br />
<poem>'''Hermaphrodite''': For abhorring violence is itself an act of violence and, therefore, to be abhorred. ''[The crowd cheers.]'' All bow before mighty Hermaphrodite. ''[Leegola walks up to him and he is scared.]'' Ah! Don't hurt me.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Leegola''': I'm not here to hurt you. Or anything ever again. Please, teach me the centaurs' ways of wimpiness.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Hermaphrodite''': What do you offer in return?</poem><br />
:''[Leegola holds up a carrot, which Hermaphrodite eats. Cut to the two galloping along a path, a rainbow is in the background. They run past creatures which resemble Teletubbies. Cut to the two shooting flaming arrows toward each other. The arrows collide and form a firework in the shape of a peace sign. Cut to the two and another centaur playing tic-tac-toe with beanbags. Hermaphrodite misses winning the game, Leegola walks up with a beanbag in her mouth and drops it on the winning tile. They all laugh.]''<br />

<poem>'''Titanius Anglesmith''': Yes! We made it out of that godforsaken cave. Now, what's the fastest way home? Back through the cave? ''[Greyfarn hits him in the head with his staff.]'' Ow! ''[His eye shield falls from its mounted position.]'' Ow!</poem><br />
:''[Exterior shot of the Geysers of Gygax.]''<br />
<poem>'''Greyfarn''': We're close now, my friends. So close, I can practically feel the heat of the fiery molten plastic.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Gynecaladriel''': You're standing in the fire.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Greyfarn''': Oh, my. ''[He yelps and walks out of the fire.]'' Alas, our path is blocked by Momon's army of evil. As well as her navy of moral dubiousness.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Titanius Anglesmith''': Wait a second. Mayhaps we might raise an army of our own. We're but an hour's ride from Wipe Castle.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Greyfarn''': Of course. Wipe Castle. And while we're there, we can get some of those greasy little dwarf burgers.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Gynecaladriel''': Ooh! I love those. You can eat like eight of them without gaining any weight because of all the diarrhea.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Greyfarn''': Sleep deep, fair snoozles. At dawn, we ride for Wipe Castle. ''[Frydo howls in front of the moon.]'' Quiet, Frydo. ''[He howls again, but softer.]''<br />
:''[Momon is watching from the die.]''<br />
<poem>'''Momon''': We've got them now. Send all our forces against Wipe Castle.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Waltazar''': Right away, Mother. I'll just leave a small contingent behind in case...</poem><br />
<poem>'''Momon''': I said, everything. Peaches!</poem><br />
<poem>'''Peaches''' (offscreen): I'm in the tub.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Momon''': Waltazar, you and Larius shall lead the assault.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Waltazar''': What about Ignus?</poem><br />
<poem>'''Momon''': I'm afraid he can't be trusted on this mission. You see, there is a terrible secret about Ignus I've never told anyone. And here it is.</poem><br />
:''[Her words cannot be heard as we see Ignus listening from the doorway while sweeping. The two sons in the room are shocked at what Momon says and Ignus gasps.]''<br />
<poem>'''Momon''': It's a good day to be evil. ''[She begins laughing, followed by Waltazar and Larius. Peaches joins in too.]'' Oh, put a towel on, for crap's sake. ''[She slaps him.]''<br />
<br />
:''['''Scene''': Frydo ventures away from the camp to some rocks by the water.]''<br />
<br />
<poem>'''Frydo''': They all wants it. They wants the dodecalicious.</poem><br />
:''[Frydo's reflection in the water begins speaking to him.]''<br />
<poem>'''Reflection Host''': Tell you what, you want to defend a magic artifact, and I mean, defend it good, then what you need is a top-quality knife.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Frydo''': Me is listening.</poem><br />
:''[The reflection has a Infomercial graphic on it.]''<br />
<poem>'''Reflection Host''': The Eviscerator is one of the finest, if not the finest, tactical folder on the market today. We're talking 440 stainless, quick release and... I don't believe this. Is this a stag horn handle at this price?</poem><br />
<poem>'''Reflection Host 2''': It is, yeah. It's a stag horn.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Reflection Host''': At this price? You have got to be kidding me. That's got to be some kind of mistake, right there.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Reflection Host 2''': Now, you folks at home, I know what you're thinking. You're thinking, that can't be stag horn. It's got to be the cheaper manticore horn. But, I've got the specs right here and I'll tell you what, this is the real deal.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Reflection Host''': Unbelievable.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Reflection Host 2''': It is unbelievable. That's exactly what it is. I mean, this is... I have no words to describe this deal. Honestly, have you ever seen stag horn at this price?</poem><br />
:''[Cut to Frydo, he shakes his head.]''<br />
<poem>'''Reflection Host''': No, no, I don't believe I ever have.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Reflection Host 2''': 1101-1816 is the item number on this one.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Reflection Host''': You know what, we're gonna have to put a clock on this deal, folks. Two minutes. Can I get a clock at two minutes up there?</poem><br />
<poem>'''Reflection Host 2''': Two minutes at most. Honestly, I'd be surprised if they last that long.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Reflection Host''': Oh, I'd be very surprised, shocked really. Now, I know the lines are busy, people, but keep dialing in if you want a truly exceptional knife to slice up your friends in their sleep.</poem><br />
:''[Cut to Frydo walking with the knife in his hand. He's flicking it open and closed repeatedly. He walks over to Titanius Anglesmith's sleeping bag and begins stabbing it. Titanius Anglesmith is in Gynecaladriel's sleeping bag, however. They both wake up and gasp.]''<br />
<poem>'''Titanius Anglesmith''': He tried to murder me. He tried... Woah, cool. Is that the stag horn?</poem><br />
:''[Frydo hisses at Titanius and throws the knife at him. The handle and blade break away from each other and Frydo runs away from the camp.]''<br />
<br />
:''['''Scene''': Titanius Anglesmith, Greyfarn and Gynecaladriel are venturing toward Wipe Castle.]''<br />
<br />
<poem>'''Greyfarn''': Alas, Frydo's weakness was no match for the die's strength. We can only hope he forges on alone to the Geysers.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Titanius Anglesmith''': I can hope my ass is made of ice-cream but that don't make me a hot fudge sundae.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Greyfarn''': As for us, we must press on to Wipe Castle, though the journey be long and I fear I may not live to see it.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Gynecaladriel''': There it is!</poem><br />
:''[Exterior shot of Wipe Castle. The draw bridge lowers.]''<br />
<br />
:''['''Scene''': Frydo is wandering through a swamp. A twig snaps behind him.]''<br />
<br />
<poem>'''Frydo''': They's following us's.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Zoidberg Head''': You know, you talk like that, it's gonna cost you points at a job interview.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Frydo''': What does it wants?</poem><br />
<poem>'''Zoidberg Head''': First of all, I resent being called "it." I prefer jerkhole or simply ''[Disgusted noise.]'' Second, I thought I could help you destroy the die, maybe.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Frydo''': ''(In his normal voice:)'' Yes, yes, please help me. The die is tearing me apart. ''(In his raspy voice:)'' No, it's not. We're having a nice time. ''(In his normal voice:)'' Shut up. ''(In his raspy voice:)'' You shut up. ''(In his normal voice:)'' S'all right? ''(In his raspy voice:)'' Who's a s'all right? ''(In his normal voice:)'' Help me!</poem><br />
<poem>'''Swamp Hag''': Get out of my swamp, you kids!</poem><br />
:''[Cut back to Wipe Castle. URL and Smitty are gate guards with trumpets. They play a fanfare, then URL breaks off into a jazz riff. The three of them clap.]''<br />
<poem>'''URL''': Now, before your audience with the king, there's a shocking fact you best know about him.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Titanius Anglesmith''': Enough blabbety-blab! Open the doors.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Roberto''': What, ho?</poem><br />
<poem>'''Titanius Anglesmith''': We bring ill tidings, o fanciest of men. Momon's reach nears the die of power. And should she obtain it, she will then have the entire basic set. Rivers will run red with blood and yellow with urine. And a dog will be seen eating cat food in the land. Oh, great king, your army is the last hope of Cornwood. Let us join forces before the light of good is extinguished forever.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Roberto''': You calling me crazy? Just 'cause I've got a hotel in my foot don't make me a boogalee-moogalee-moogalee.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Titanius Anglesmith''': Pardon?</poem><br />
<poem>'''Roberto''': Stop laughing at me, fried avocado.</poem><br />
:''[He yells while swinging his sword at the invisible fruit. Cut to Titanius closing the doors.]''<br />
<poem>'''Titanius Anglesmith''': Uh... moving along then. As the only nobleman present who's not... ''[He crosses his eyes and makes crazy noises.]'' ...I hereby place myself in command of the royal army.</poem><br />
<poem>'''URL''': What royal army would that be?</poem><br />
<poem>'''Greyfarn''': What?</poem><br />
<poem>'''Smitty''': King went insane and declared war on the scallops. Tied his army to a boulder and pushed them into the sea. They never returned.</poem><br />
<poem>'''URL''': Scallops must've got them. ''[Smitty nods.]''<br />
<poem>'''Greyfarn''': Oh, well. There'll be no epic battle today.</poem><br />
:''[A horn sounds offscreen and they all gasp. They walk to the edge of the castle and look down. There is a massive army of ogres.]''<br />
<poem>'''Titanius Anglesmith''': Methinks we be boned.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Larius''': Where's their army?</poem><br />
<poem>'''Waltazar''': Maybe they didn't hear the horn. Blow it again. ''[He blows his horn.]''<br />
<poem>'''URL''': Man, I'll show that cat how to blow. ''[He starts up with his jazz number again, but is blows away by the air escaping a horn placed in front of him. Cut to the ogres rushing the castle. The pull the drawbridge down and cross it with a ram to knock the doors open.]''</poem><br />
<poem>'''Waltazar''': All right. On three. One...</poem><br />
<poem>'''Titanius Anglesmith''': Two, three! ''[Waltazar is punched through the door by the ram.]''<br />
<poem>'''Greyfarn''': Oil in the murder hole.</poem><br />
:''[Titanius hurls hot oil through the grate at the enemies.]''<br />
<poem>'''Larius''': ''[He stops and looks up at the murder hole.]'' What are they pouring through the murder hole? Hot oil? Yeah, I think it might be hot oil. ''[The steamy oil lands on him.]''I knew it. I was right, Walt. It's hot oil.</poem><br />
:''[Exterior shot of Wipe Castle. The ogres are climbing up ladders to get into the castle. One ogre reaches a window where Gynecaladriel is removing her clothes and begins drooling. His saliva burns through the wooden ladder and it splits in two. Cut to an ogre breaking trough the wall. Titanius is waiting on the other side with a mace and knocks him unconscious. Peaches then breaks through the wall behind Titanius and uses his glove flail to slap him.]''<br />
<poem>'''Titanius Anglesmith''': Ow.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Roberto''': ''[Running around through the ogres. He stops one of them.]'' What the... You're not made of Tuesday. ''[The ogre strikes Roberto over the head with his club.]'' My sanity. It's back. At last, I can live the life I always... ''[The ogre strikes him again.]'' AHH! Boogalee-moogalee-moogalee!</poem><br />
:''['''Cut to''': Giant kangaroos hopping toward the castle with more ogres in their pouches. The ogres are throwing spears at the castle while travelling. Cut to Greyfarn and Gynecaladriel fending off the spears, then a piano, then a small kangaroo. A unicorn has been thrown and gets lodged in the castle wall. Greyfarn taps his staff on the ground twice and it morphs into a large boomerang. He throws it off screen to the left, but it comes back in on the right and hits him in the back of the head. He picks up the boomerang and holds it close to the edge of the frame so half of it is in front of him and half appears behind him. He then moves it too far forward and hits himself in the back of the head with it. The giant kangaroos are now at the castle walls and are jumping into them feet first.]''<br />
:''['''Cut to''': A centaur watching this. He draws and arrow and launches it to a far away camp. An arrow is then launched from that camp to another, then to another, then to another.]''<br />
<poem>'''Man''': Ow! ''[Another arrow is then shot.]''</poem><br />
:''['''Scene''': Many centaurs, including Leegola and Hermaphrodite, are dancing to folk music in a room. Scruff is sweeping up their droppings behind them while mumbling and plugging his nose. Suddenly, an arrow flashes across the screen and lodges in the wall. The music abruptly stops and everybody gasps. Pan over the wall where the arrows land reveals the arrow struck a target labelled "War," which has never been used.]''<br />
<poem>'''Leegola''': What does it mean?</poem><br />
<poem>'''Female Centaur''': 'Tis as we feared. Evil will soon triumph over good.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Hermaphrodite''': Your friends face certain death. Followed by a disrespectful marionette show performed with their corpses.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Leegola''': No! We've got to do something.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Hermaphrodite''': Believe me, we will. We've taken out a sternly worded ad in tomorrow's Cornwood Times. ''[He holds up a news paper with the headline "There must be a better way" printed on it above a picture of an ogre being beheaded. Leegola kicks through the paper and everybody gasps.]''<br />
<poem>'''Leegola''': What a load of man-horse manure.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Hermaphrodite''': Well, Leegola, if you have a better idea, perhaps you'd like to challenge me to debate.</poem><br />
:''[An arrow flies across the room and lands on "Tedious Debate" which is frequently used.]''<br />
<br />
:''['''Scene''': Frydo and Zoidberg Head are venturing into the Geysers of Gygax.]''<br />
<br />
<poem>'''Frydo''': I'm too exhausted. I can't go on.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Zoidberg Head''': I'm here for you, my friend. I'll drag you onward. Even to my last ounce of strength. Grab onto my testicles.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Frydo''': You know, I think maybe I can walk after all.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Momon''': ''(From the die:)''' That's not Wipe Castle. ''[She gasps.]'' The dodeca-call is coming from inside the house.</poem><br />
:''[Frydo grunts as he works his way to the top of a ledge over the lava. Momon hears him and screams as she spots him across the cave.]''<br />
<poem>'''Zoidberg Head''': What are you waiting for, Frydo? Throw it already in the boiling plastic.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Frydo''': I would. But... ''(In raspy voice:)'' Me's enjoys owning it.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Zoidberg Head''': Stop talking like that. It gives me anxiety. ''[He launches himself at Frydo and bites his tushie.]''<br />
<poem>'''Frydo''': Ow!</poem><br />
<poem>'''Momon''': No!</poem><br />
:''[Momon gasps as the die flies out of Frydo's hand. Before it hits the ground she morphs into a dragon. The die hit Ignus on the head and lands on 12 - "Mirror Mania".]''<br />
<poem>'''Die of Power''': Twelve.</poem><br />
:''[Frydo also morphs into a dragon.]''<br />
<poem>'''Frydo''': So, it's all come down to this. A dungeon and dragons.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Zoidberg Head''': I didn't see it coming.</poem><br />
:''[Momon takes flight and breathes fire at Frydo's feet. Frydo evades the fire and breathes back at Momon, but she dodges it.]''<br />
:''[Cut back to Wipe Castle. The trio+ are still battling the hordes of attacking ogres.]'</poem><br />
<poem>'''Ogres''': Eat the wizard, eat the slut. Eat the robot's shiny butt</poem><br />
<poem>'''Gynecaladriel''': Well, at least we'll be remembered in song.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Titanius Anglesmith''': Wait a second. I have an idea. I surrender. Here, eat my friends. Just give me one more second of sweet, sweet life. ''[As the ogres stop, thousands of arrows strike them and all the ogres fall. Titanius is still holding up his two companions. He clears his throat.]'' Well, that worked out pretty good, eh, fellows?</poem><br />
:''[Cut to Leegola commanding the centaurs from a distance.]''<br />
<poem>'''Leegola''': Prepare to fire again, brave cowards.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Hermaphrodite''': I still say, I won the debate. ''[Leegola strikes him in the stomach with a piece of wood.]''<br />
<poem>'''Leegola''': Fire.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Ogre''': Wuh-woah.</poem><br />
:''[The arrows take down all but one ogre.]''<br />
<poem>'''Remaining Ogre''': Whew!</poem><br />
:''[Leegola dashing on screen and punches him, knocking him out. Gynecaladriel runs through the castle doors.]''<br />
<poem>'''Gynecaladriel''': Leegola, you saved us. How can I ever repay you? ''[She kisses Leegola, but it quickly turns into passionate kisses. A large eruption of the geysers breaks the kiss and they all gasp.]''<br />
<poem>'''Greyfarn''': Frydo is fighting for his life. The fate of Cornwood is in our hands. Quickly, to the Geysers.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Titanius Anglesmith''': ''[While watching Leegola and Gynecaladriel kiss.]'' Can it wait a couple of minutes?</poem><br />
<poem>'''Greyfarn''': Yes. Yes, it can.</poem><br />
:''[Cut back to Momon and Frydo. Frydo kicks Momon offscreen and he begins walking over to the die, but Momon tackles him. They both get up and start fighting with their hands and tails. Momon whips Frydo against a pillar and she starts walking toward the die, but Frydo grabs her tail and swings her sideways along the ground.]''<br />
<poem>'''Frydo''': You are no match for my dragon style. ''[Momon breathes fire and Frydo ducks, but the fire burns his wings off.]'' I guess you are a match for my dragon style.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Momon''': Tell me, Frydo, are you aware that a dragon's one weakness is its soft underbelly?</poem><br />
<poem>'''Frydo''': No. Why do you... ''[She leaps and bites his belly. Frydo screams in pain.]''<br />
<poem>'''Leegola''': Get my friend out of your mouth.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Titanius Anglesmith''': It is all over, Momon. We'll soon be down there defeating you. And it's all thanks to the existence of this fragile staircase. ''[He laughs victoriously, then Momon stomps on the ground, causing the staircases on either side of them to disintegrate.]'' Whoa!</poem><br />
:''[Ignus rises up on a spider behind the pillar.]''<br />
<poem>'''Ignus''': Quick. Get on the magic bug.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Greyfarn''': It's not a magic bug, you dope. It's a magic arachnid. Can't you count the legs?</poem><br />
<poem>'''Ignus''': No.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Greyfarn''': Six, seven, eight. Not six, eight. I'll kill you, you imbecile.</poem><br />
:''[Greyfarn's staff starts glowing like a lightsabre and Ignus pulls out a lightsabre looking device. Ignus hops off the magic spider and the two begin battling on the pillar.]''<br />
:''[Cut back to Momon and Frydo. Momon begins walking toward the die with Frydo still on the ground, but he sees this and stabs Momon in her belly with the tip of his tail.]''<br />
<poem>'''Momon''': My underbelly. My one weakness.</poem><br />
:''[The two dragons fall beside each other and groan while morphing back into their human forms.]''<br />
<poem>'''Zoidberg Head''': ''[He picks up the die.]'' I got it. Now I can throw it in the hot thing over there and be the hero. On the other hand, infinite power might be nice.</poem><br />
:''[Cut to the battle between Greyfarn and Ignus.]''<br />
<poem>'''Ignus''': Please, I'm trying to help you.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Greyfarn''': Then why are you hitting me with a stick? How stupid are you that you think that's helping?</poem><br />
<poem>'''Ignus''': Mommy never told you about my father.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Greyfarn''': She said he was a foul He-demon.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Ignus''': Exactly. ''[He clicks off his lightsabre device.]'' You are my father.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Greyfarn''': No. No, that's impossible.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Ignus''': Search your feelings. You know it to be true.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Greyfarn''': No! ''[He hits his head with his staff.]'' No! ''[He hits his head with the staff again.]''<br />
<poem>'''Ignus''': Ya-huh! I heard Mommy say so.</poem><br />
:''[Greyfarn gasps as he hits his head one more time and falls off the large pillar.]''<br />
<poem>'''Zoidberg Head''': ''[While jumping and spinning between Frydo and Momon.]'' I have all the dice. I am the dungeon master. I know all and see... ''[He is squished by the falling Greyfarn. The die rolls away from him and Momon quickly snatches it up.]''<br />
<poem>'''Momon''': Game over. ''[She begins laughing and a purple blast expands from the Geysers of Gygax blowing the rocks around it apart. During her laugh, Momon starts coughing, but then continues laughing. The floor and pillars begin collapsing into the ground.]''</poem><br />
<poem>'''Frydo''': No! No!</poem><br />
:''[Everybody is screaming as they come flying out of the ground back into Mom's office.]''<br />
<poem>'''Mom''': What happened?</poem><br />
:''[Everybody is confused.]''<br />
<poem>'''Leela''': My God, we're out of that weird, crazy world and back in our regular crazy world.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Fry''': Did we all just have some kind of freaky dream or was it ghosts?</poem><br />
<poem>'''Farnsworth''': Neither, Fry. It was science. Bender's mighty imagination amplified by a dark matter resonance created an alternate reality that very nearly blew our minds.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Hermes''': Exactly. You can't make that kind of stuff up.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Mom''': Quit trying to explain everything. I defeated you in that world and I'll defeat you in this one. Boys, the crystal’s still in his stomach.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Walt''': Commencing intestinal flash flood.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Farnsworth''': Wait! Before my moment of shame, can I...</poem><br />
<poem>'''Mom''': Yes, speak up.</poem><br />
:''[Farnsworth and Igner look at each other, teary eyed.]''<br />
<poem>'''Farnsworth''': Can I give my boy a hug?</poem><br />
<poem>'''Mom''': All right. Fine. I've never done it. I guess somebody should.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Inger''': Daddy. ''[They hug.]''<br />
<poem>'''Farnsworth''': Like father, like son, eh, boy?</poem><br />
:''[Pan down to reveal that the two crystals are near each other in their stomachs.]''<br />
<poem>'''Igner''': We both eated the crysals. ''[They giggle together.]''<br />
<poem>'''Mom''': No. No!</poem><br />
:''[The two crystals pulse repeatedly then explode. Farnsworth and Igner belch together. Mom picks up a ball of Dark Matter and it desitegrates in her hand.]''<br />
<poem>'''Mom''': My dark matter. It's worthless.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Farnsworth''': That's right, Mom. But fear not, fancy folk for I've just thunk up an alternative energy source. Nibbler-power.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Nibbler''': Hurray. Wait. What?</poem><br />
:''[Cut to a chicken swinging back and forth, clucking. Pull back to show several Nibblonians pulling the Planet Express ship while trying to reach the chicken that is hanging in front of them.]''<br />
<poem>'''Farnsworth''': Mush! Mush! ''[He whips the Nibblonians.]''<br />
<poem>'''Bender''': Whip harder, Professor.</poem><br />
:''[They cheer.]''<br />
<poem>'''Farnsworth''': Faster, ''[Whip]'' faster. ''[Whip]'' Slower. ''[Whip]''<br />
:''[Fade to black]''<br />
:''[Closing Credits.]''<br />
<poem>'''Garry Gygax''': Anyone wanna play Dungeons & Dragons for the next quadrillion years?</poem><br />

'''Sal''' is a fat man who is seen to occupy many blue-collar jobs throughout the universe. It is unclear whether this is the same man, or if each is a clone created to fill these jobs. Although he doesn't do so when we first meet him, he eventually adds an 's' to words that don't normally take one, and sometimes leaves it off of words that should have one. For example, "Whoas! Cripe!" ([[Teenage Mutant Leela's Hurdles|4ACV09]]). By the release of [[Futurama (video game)|the game]] he has come to believe these words actually require the extra 's', and upon forgetting to add an 's', corrects himself. He may add an 's' to make words seem plural as he refers to bigfoot as bigfeet. He's also friends with [[Hoschel|a guy that is a lot like him]].<br />

"'''Parasites Lost'''" is the thirty-fourth episode of ''[[Futurama]]'', the second of the [[Season 3|third production season]] and the fourth of the [[Broadcast season 3|third broadcast season]]. It aired 21 January, 2001 on FOX. After obtaining worms from a truck stop sandwich, [[Philip J. Fry|Fry]] finally obtains the affection of [[Turanga Leela|Leela]], but he is concerned whether she loves him or the worms.<br />
<br />
== The Story ==<br />
=== Act I: "She's got more meat than a cow!" ===<br />
The [[Planet Express Ship]] pulls over for a fuel stop. Lighting his cigar while refuelling on ethanol and tonic, [[Bender Bending Rodriguez|Bender]] blows himself up. In the men's room, [[Philip J. Fry|Fry]] buys an egg-salad sandwich. While eating the sandwich, Fry makes several comments about how terrible it tastes, ("It's like there's a party in my mouth and everyone is throwing up"), but also says that he has had worse. While Fry finishes his sandwich, [[Turanga Leela|Leela]] starts to clean the windshield of the Planet Express Ship, removing, among other things, the Voyager Probe. Several truckers (including [[Sal]]) make derogatory, sexist comments toward Leela as she cleans the ship, and Fry attempts to defend her, but only ends up insulting her further.<br />
<br />
Back at the [[Planet Express|Planet Express building]] Fry despairs over being unable to please Leela. This despair is interrupted when he and Bender go to fix the plasma-fusion boiler, which [[Scruffy]] is unable to fix due to a "schedule conflict". However, since they are unqualified to make such repairs, the boiler explodes, lodging a lead pipe in Fry's abdomen. During an examination from Dr. Zoidberg, who claims that it is normal for your lead pipe to hurt, the pipe is cut in half mysteriously, and the holes in Fry's abdomen seal themselves.<br />
<br />
Dr. Zoidberg gives Fry a more thorough examination, which the rest of the crew watches behind a 2-way mirror and on a video screen, while eating popcorn. Hermes eats his popcorn using a Jai Alai scoop, because Fry has been eating all the silverware. During Fry's colonoscopy, it is revealed that there is a [[Worms of Colón|colony of parasitic worms]] living in Fry's bowels, within a city made of the silverware Fry ate. The [[Professor Hubert J. Farnsworth|Professor]] reveals that the only way to get rid of the parasites is to enter Fry using a microscopic version of the Planet Express Ship. After learning of their journey, Bender calls shotgun, to the disappointment of Dr. Zoidberg.<br />
<br />
=== Act II: "Nobody make a smell!" ===<br />
The Professor creates [[Micro-Droid Machine|micro-droids]] for each crew member, which, apparently, are cheaper than shrinking them. The micro-droids are controlled via [[Net Suit|net suits]].<br />
<br />
The Professor lays out the plan, which involves entering through Fry's ear, and travelling through his systems until they reach the pelvic splanchnic ganglion. Irritation of the ganglion will expel the parasites, among other things, from Fry. The force of the expulsion, according to the Professor, will make Fry lucky to still have his bones afterwards. Fry cannot be warned of the plan, however, as the worms know everything he knows. Leela distracts Fry long enough to launch the miniature Planet Express ship into his ear. In order to keep him distracted, Leela proposes taking a walk.<br />
<br />
The Planet Express Crew discovers that the worms are actually giving Fry a mental and physical upgrade making him smarter, stronger, and more coordinated. As they were navigating through the nasal passage, Fry sniffed a rose, which he gave to Leela. This bombarded the Planet Express Ship with pollen, prompting Zoidberg to suggest they escape through a nasal capillary. This surprises everyone, as it's the first time he's expressed any ''correct'' knowledge of human anatomy. He reveals, however, that he learned it from a decongestant commercial.<br />
<br />
The nasal capillary takes the crew into the heart, or "love muscle", as the Professor calls it. Dr. Zoidberg's usual lack of knowledge of human anatomy returns as he mentions that the heart is where food is digested. The crew will be safe as long as nothing causes Fry's heart to beat faster, according to the Professor. Unbeknown to the crew, Fry is stepping into a puddle to help Leela avoid getting her feet wet. Upon taking his hand, his heart starts to beat faster, causing Bender to panic. Professor Farnsworth sets a course for a cholesterol-encrusted valve, in an attempt to avoid certain doom.<br />
<br />
After leaving the heart, the ship passes a group of worms jazzercising Fry's muscles, making him as strong and flexible as Gumbercules. Outside of Fry's body, while on their walk, Leela sees Sal, and suggests they cross the street and blend in with a group of pimps. Fry confronts Sal, demanding an apology. Leela protests, saying that he is "bulging with what could be muscles." Fry tears off his shirt, revealing his newfound strength, which interests Leela. After a short confrontation, being disarmed and defeated, Sal apologizes to Leela.<br />
<br />
=== Act III: "Worms to battle stations!" ===<br />
The Planet Express Ship sets off a proximity alarm as they neared the stomach, and several worm sentry ships converge and open fire on the Planet Express Ship. After taking a couple hits from the worm fighters, Bender tries to abandon ship through the emergency exit (for the third time), but is restrained by Hermes and Zoidberg. Ahead, the entrance to the stomach is starting to close, and barely make it through, thanks to the help of the worm fighters. They arrive in the bowel and begin an assault on the worm city.<br />
<br />
At a coffee-shop across the street from Planet Express, Fry finally shares his feelings with Leela, which he was previously not able to articulate. Leela realizes that the worms may have something to do with the new Fry, and runs off to the Planet Express building.<br />
<br />
Just before reaching the ganglion, Zoidberg enters the room, revealing that, although Fry was sterilized by the professor's F-Ray ([[Fry and the Slurm Factory|1ACV13]]), the worms were able to repair the damage. Leela scans herself to create a micro-droid for herself, and enters Fry by shooting herself into his cup of coffee. Before the others can stimulate the ganglion, Leela arrives and destroys her micro-droid co-workers with a fire axe.<br />
<br />
=== Act IV: "Ever wonder what makes special sauce so special?" ===<br />
After destroying the microscopic versions of the crew, Leela takes off her net-suit and tells the Professor that Fry might be better off with the worms. Fry enters the room and demands an explanation.<br />
<br />
After receiving his explanation, Fry says that the worms are the best parasites he's ever had. Later, Leela takes Fry to her apartment, where pulls out a [[holophonor]], one of the most difficult instruments in the universe. He plays, and the hologram shows Fry and Leela in a variety of forms, dancing across the universe. Without saying a word, Leela takes Fry into the bedroom, where says she loves what Fry has become. Fry realizes she may not love him for who he truly is, but instead, for what the worms have made him into. He returns to the Planet Express building and makes a micro-droid of himself, which he drops into the back of his pants.<br />
<br />
Inside his own bowel, Fry confronts the Lord Mayor of Col&oacute;n. Fry explains his situation and asks the worms to leave, but the Lord Mayor refuses, citing that he came in on the sandwich and raised a cloud of spores in Fry's bowel. Fry and the Lord Mayor engage in a sword fight, which takes them to Fry's brain. Fry threatens to injure himself to evict the worms. They call his bluff, but he cuts several connections within his brain, including the hand-eye coordination lobe. The Lord Mayor explains that he has only damaged his brain to the extent of a week of binge drinking or 5 minutes of cell phone use. He reaches the medulla oblongata, and threatens to kill himself if they do not leave. After a brief standoff, the worms agree to leave, but give him a promise that they will find their way back--"Ever wonder what makes special sauce so special? Yo."<br />
<br />
=== Act V: "I'm still seduced from before." ===<br />
Fry returns to Leela's apartment. He asks to play the holophonor, but Leela protests, saying that she was still seduced from earlier. He insists and starts playing, creating a Frankenstein-like monster. Leela asks what it was supposed to mean, to which Fry responds 'I don't know. I got nervous and started thinking about neck bolts." Leela realizes he's become an idiot again. Fry asks for a chance to prove that it was him, not the worms that made her love him. Fry pulls out a baggie of massage oil and offers to give her the massage he used to give Amy. Leela, covering herself, shoves the holophonor in his face and tells him to leave.<br />
<br />
Later that night, Fry begins his first lesson on the holophonor, creating a rudimentary hologram of Leela.<br />

A palm tree is decked in its Xmas best, Leela is putting the finishing touches on the room with Xmas lights, Fry is shaking the presents, and Zoidberg is looking out the window. Amy come in wearing a Santa hat with a plate of obvious product placement.]''<br />
<poem>'''[[Amy Wong|Amy]]''': Ah, the Xmas season. Who wants a delicious unshelled nut?</poem><br />
:''[Bender walks in dressed like a nutcracker and marching like a soldier.]''<br />
<poem>'''[[Bender]]''': Ooh, I'll have one!</poem><br />
:''[Amy puts a nut in Bender's open mouth and Hermes lifts Bender's arm, which causes the nut to crack and Amy takes the inside and eats it.]''<br />
<poem>'''Amy''': Mmm..."It's NUTSO Good!"<br />
<poem>'''[[Philip J. Fry|Fry]]''': Oh.</poem><br />
<poem>'''[[Turanga Leela|Leela]]''': What's wrong, Fry? Are you regretting another wasted year?</poem><br />
<poem>'''Fry''': I don't know. Somethin' about Xmas just doesn't feel like Christmas.</poem><br />
:''[An alarm blares as Professor Farnsworth walks in.]''<br />
<poem>'''[[Professor Hubert Farnsworth|Farnsworth]]''': Santa's coming! Initiate defenses!</poem><br />
:''[The building shields itself and Bender, Hermes and Zoidberg block the chimney.]''<br />
:''['''Scene''': Exterior of building. The building continuously locks itself as Robot Santa flies around it in his sled.]''<br />
<poem>'''[[Robot Santa Claus|Robot Santa]]''': God rest ye, merry gentlemen...in peace! ''[fires his missile]''<br />
</poem><br />
:''['''Scene''': Back to the interior]''<br />
<poem>'''Fry''': Can someone please explain how you celebrate this crazy holiday? Preferably in song?</poem><br />
:''[Robot Santa comes down the chimney and flies into the room.]''<br />
<poem>'''Robot Santa''': [singing] It's the violentest season of the year.</poem><br />
:''[Two Neptunian elves pour eggnog into a bottle]''<br />
<poem>'''Elf''': [singing] And Kringle brought his egg-dispensing mugs of Xmas fear.</poem><br />

When I cane you from the comfort of my sled.</poem><br />
:''[Santa candy canes Fry, who sees spinning ornaments a la the cartoon bird gag.]''<br />
<poem>'''Leela''': [singing] On Xmas Eve, we don our gay apparel,<br />
Kevlar vests, asbestos stockings and a barrel.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Farnsworth''': [singing] And if Grandma's Xmas fruitcake finally reaches critical mass,<br />
It can be regifted straight to Santa's ass.</poem><br />
:''[Farnsworth throws the fruitcake which seemingly destroys Robot Santa and a gingerbread house, but in the next shot, he's still alive]''<br />
<poem>'''Robot Santa''': [singing] But the ornamental armaments are merely superficial,<br />
The tinsel and the trappings are just icing on the missile.<br />
The one thing that you need to make your Xmas day splendiferous<br />
Is a pine tree; a pine tree that's coniferous.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Planet Express Crew (except Amy)''': [singing] We have to have a pine tree as coniferous.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Robot Santa''': You're welcome.</poem><br />
:''[Robot Santa exits the room. Fry kicks Scruffy in an attempt to wake him up.]''<br />
<poem>'''Fry''': You know, Santa may have killed Scruffy, but he makes a good point. What we need is an old-fashioned pine tree.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Farnsworth''': Cram it, Virginia! Pine trees have been extinct for over eight hundred years.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Leela''': Professor, maybe there's some way to bring the pine trees back to life, like we did the barking snakes.</poem><br />
:''[Leela holds up a snake that barks like a dog.]''<br />
<poem>'''Farnsworth''': Pine trees aren't barking snakes. They won't just turn up in a salad at Olive Garden. But there is ''one'' hope, and, as usual, it's Norwegian!</poem><br />
:''['''Scene''': Exterior shot of Norwegian Alps. The ship flies by them and lands on the ice and spins into the snow making another "successful" landing. The door opens and the crew exits the ship.]''<br />
<poem>'''Farnsworth''': Behold! The Svalbard Global Seed Vault! Since 2008, the vault has preserved seeds of every known plant species in case of extinction.</poem><br />
<poem>'''[[Hermes Conrad|Hermes]]''': And ''I'' brought a few seeds of my own.</poem><br />
:''[A Norwegian man comes out of the vault doors with two barking snakes.]''<br />
<poem>'''Norwegian Seed Man''': Halt! Wh-what's your business poky-pokin' about da seed vault, eh, guardian of mankind's precious botanical heritage dere?</poem><br />
<poem>'''Farnsworth''': We just wanna come in and rummage about a bit.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Norwegian Seed Man''': Oh. So...okay. ''[unlocks the vault]''</poem><br />
<poem>'''Bender''': Yo, Abba, what's that next door?<br />
:''[Zoom out to reveal another vault with the sign "Germ Warfare Repository" with a window that opens and shuts with the wind]''<br />
<poem>'''Norwegian Seed Man''': Oh, dat's da germ warfare repository.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Leela''': It's so close. Is there any chance of cross-contamination?</poem><br />
:''[pause]''<br />
<poem>'''Norwegian Seed Man''': No.</poem><br />
:''['''Scene''': Interior of the vault. The seed man opens up a cooler with the label "Pinus xmas" on it and takes out a pine cone.]''<br />
<poem>'''Norwegian Seed Man''': Now, your pine trees were all chopped down to make imirgincee toilet paper durin' th' fifty-year squirts. Lucky da seeds have bin preserved here in da vault der.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Amy''': What's that splork on them? ''[the camera cuts to a closeup of a tray full of germs]'' It's not germs, is it?</poem><br />
:''[pause]''<br />
<poem>'''Norwegian Seed Man''': No.</poem><br />
:''['''Scene''': Exterior of Planet Express building. Fry is seen outside taking a pine seed and planting it.]''<br />
:''[Time passage fade.]''<br />
:''['''Caption''': "One year later"]''<br />
:''[The scene changes and the tree is almost fully grown and trimmed and a crowd of people look at it.]''<br />
<poem>'''Fry''': Now ''that's'' a tree worth chopping down.</poem><br />
:''[Pan to Tinny Tim]''<br />
<poem>'''[[Tinny Tim]]''': Indeed. 'Tis a loverly tree. 'Twould truly be my finest Xmas eve—</poem><br />
:''[The robot child gets run over by a Presidential limo. The window rolls down to reveal President Nixon's head admiring the tree.]''<br />
<poem>'''[[Richard Nixon|Nixon]]''': Araroo!</poem><br />
:''['''Scene''': Interior of the car, Nixon is seen talking to Vice President Dick Cheney's Head]''<br />
<poem>'''Nixon''': That's what my poll numbers need: Happy voters enjoying some holiday cheer.</poem><br />
<poem>'''[[Dick Cheney's head|Cheney]]''': As your Vice President, I order you to steal that tree.</poem><br />
:''['''Scene''': Exterior shot of the White House. The tree's branched out and a bigger crowd is applauding Nixon and Cheney on the stage of the White House.]''<br />
<poem>'''Nixon''': My fellow Earthicans, welcome to the Annual White House Xmas Tree Lighting, brought to you by Gunderson's Nuts!</poem><br />
:''[Applause, a Secret Service man brings a case with a button in it, which Nixon's head pushes and lights up the tree to more applause and cheers. Suddenly, the tree grows bigger and bigger and everyone gasps.]''<br />
<poem>'''Amy''': Oh no! Could the seed have been contaminated by a virus from the germ vault?</poem><br />
<poem>'''Norwegian Seed Man''': Oh, yeh, I suppose.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Leela''': Wait, this could be a ''good'' thing. That weaponized virus made the sickly little tree grow big and strong.</poem><br />
:[''The tree is now an adult and it shakes until all the pine cones fire to the ground like grenade bombs, and everyone runs away in fear. Suddenly, the pine cone bombings stop and more pine trees grow from the ground.]''<br />
<poem>'''Leela''': Wait, this could be a ''good'' thing. Reforestation has begun.</poem><br />
:''[The ground starts to shake.]''<br />
<poem>'''Bender''': Aw, jeez with this, hey?(?)</poem><br />
:''[All the trees spontaneously grow and more trees sprout from the ground. The camera cuts to a shot of the Earth, which is still spinning in the wrong direction from the results of ''[[That Darn Katz!]]''. The continents become greener. The camera cuts back down to where we left the crew. The world is now teaming with wildlife.]''<br />
<poem>'''Leela''': Arguably, this could be a ''good'' thing. The planet has returned to its primeval state.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Fry''': Earth is just the way it was before the white man came.</poem><br />
:''[Farnsworth takes out a device that lights up to 10%]''<br />
<poem>'''Farnsworth''': Good news! All these pine trees are fighting global warming by producing oxygen. Happy ''now'', Gore?</poem><br />
:''[Al Gore's Head appears]''<br />
<poem>'''[[Al Gore's head|Gore]]''': Yeah, but I'd be happier if I had a set of lungs.</poem><br />
:''[Farnsworth checks the device again.]''<br />
<poem>'''Farnsworth''': Wait a second! Oxygen levels are rising ''too'' rapidly! 10%...20%...60%!</poem><br />
<poem>'''Gore''': As long as it doesn't hit 70!</poem><br />
<poem>'''Farnsworth''': 80%!</poem><br />
<poem>'''Bender''': Y'know, I don't recall having done anything for a while. But I still feel like I deserve a smoke. ''[takes out a cigar and lights it, which causes Gore, Leela and Farnsworth to turn around and gasp, when Bender sees sparks in the air]'' Hey, cool, the air's on fire.</poem><br />
:''[Wide shot of the Earth, which burns to a crisp. Robot Santa flies past the unlivable planet.]''<br />
<poem>'''Robot Santa''': Ho ho ho! Everyone's dead! ''[cheerfully, to the viewing audience]'' Stay tuned for another tale of holiday hilarity!</poem><br />

<poem>'''Transition Announcer''': ...the Gunderson's Nuts Holiday Spectacular featuring ''Futurama''!</poem><br />
:''['''Scene''': Interior of Planet Express meeting room. Leela, Bender, Fry, Farnsworth, Zoidberg, Amy, and Hermes are gathered around.]''<br />
<poem>'''Farnsworth''': Okay, crew. Xmas break is over. It's time to destroy these gifts we forgot to deliver.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Bender''': Woah, woah, woah! How come we get off for every dumb human holiday but not for robot holidays?</poem><br />
<poem>'''Leela''': Oh, Lord, not Robanukah.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Bender''': I'm talkin' about Robanukah, the holiest six and a half weeks in the robot calendar!</poem><br />
<poem>'''Amy''': Pfft! That's just a fake holiday you make up every year to get out of work.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Fry''': Yeah, if it's real, how come there's no song that explains how you celebrate it?</poem><br />
<poem>'''Bender''': Because there is! Hit it!</poem><br />
<poem>'''Farnsworth''': Hit what?</poem><br />
<poem>'''Bender''': I've placed instruments under your seats. Play 'em or I'll break 'em over your heads!</poem><br />
:''[Fry gets out a holophonor, Farnsworth a fiddle, and Zoidberg an accordion, and start playing klezmer music]''<br />
<poem>'''Bender''': [singing] Robanukah may sound as if it's Jewish,<br />
But its ancient sounding customs are exceptionally newish.<br />
So take a hearty swallow from your robo-kiddish cup,<br />
Which will give me time to quickly make them up.</poem><br />
:''[Amy burps after taking a sip of Roboschewitz wine, Hermes is seen spinning a dreidel that lands on gimmel]''<br />
<poem>'''Hermes''': [singing] Do you spin a dreidel made from clay?</poem><br />
<poem>'''Bender''': [singing] Mine is called a droidel and it's rigged to make you pay.</poem><br />
:''[The droidel flips over to shin and Bender takes all the coins and puts them in his cavity]''<br />
<poem>'''Amy''': [singing] Do you eat these dummy tin-wrapped chocolate coins?</poem><br />
'''Bender''': Better! [singing] We got fembots with illegal five-speed groins! ''[spoken]'' Shalom, Ruth and Esther!</poem><br />
<poem>'''[[Ruth and Esther|Ruth]]''': Why with the music so loud?</poem><br />
<poem>'''[[Ruth and Esther|Esther]]''': Would it kill him to turn up the heat a little in here?</poem><br />
<poem>'''Bender''': [singing] But my farther most important thing is oil.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Leela''': [singing] To keep the lamp light burning or to help the latkes broil?</poem><br />
<poem>'''Bender''': [singing] No, we pour the holy lubricant out from the sacred vessel<br />
Into this blessed pit so they can wrestle.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Planet Express Crew''': [singing] The extra made-up touch that makes Robanukah so special<br />
Is the oil in which the nasty fembots wrestle.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Bender''': We shall now begin the traditional oil wrestling. Will the referee bring out the ceremonial crudes of petroleum oil? ''[a monkey wearing a referee's outfit and carrying an oil can comes in]'' Thank you, Abraham. ''[Bender takes the can and is about to squirt the oil but Ruth stops him]''</poem><br />
<poem>'''Ruth''': Not in the hair, please. I just had it did.</poem><br />
:''[Bender squirts the oil on the wrestling fembots, but runs out.]''<br />
<poem>'''Bender''': Aw, no! These broads are s'posed to wrestle for six and a half weeks! But there's only enough petroleum oil for ''four'' and a half weeks!</poem><br />
:''[musical sting]''<br />
<poem>'''Esther''': We're still gettin' paid, right?</poem><br />
<poem>'''Bender''': I told you it's an audition!</poem><br />
<poem>'''Leela''': Bender, four and a half weeks of oil wrestling sounds like plenty.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Bender''': This isn't a lousy reform Robanukah! We need more petroleum oil!</poem><br />
:''['''Scene''': Exterior shot of a Mombil gas station. The Planet Express ship lands there.]''<br />
:''['''Cut to''': Shot of service station, where the crew is hoping to get oil.]''<br />
<poem>'''[[Hoschel]]''': I got me some whale oil, some squirrel oil—</poem><br />
<poem>'''Bender''': Not kosher! It has to be petroleum oil! Do you not give a damn about the hallowed traditions of Robanukah?!</poem><br />
<poem>'''Hoschel''': I reckon I do not. Anyways, Earth done run out of petroleum oil.</poem><br />
:''[The crew gasps as Gore's head makes his way between the throng.]''<br />
<poem>'''Gore''': I tried to warn you. ''[to Hoschel]'' One unit of free limitless solar power please.</poem><br />
:''[Hoschel steps out of the sun and Gore's head jar suddenly has a meter where his nameplate would usually be. He smiles when it reaches full power.]''<br />
<poem>'''Hoschel''': That'll be... I dunno... ten bucks?</poem><br />
<poem>'''Gore''': Um, can you make change for a Nobel Prize?</poem><br />
:''['''Scene''': Interior shot of meeting room.]''<br />
<poem>'''Bender''': Aw, man! Can't we just make ''more'' petroleum oil?</poem><br />
<poem>'''Farnsworth''': I'm afraid not, son. ''[turns on the hologram projector which shows a grid sphere]'' Petroleum only forms when organic matter is subjected to intense pressure for hundreds of millions of years.</poem><br />
:''[Farnsworth's explanation is graphically represented by a giant human hand, possibly the hand of God, squeezing a tree, a human, and a brontosaurus into petroleum]''<br />
<poem>'''Fry''': I can't wait that long! I've got ADD!</poem><br />
<poem>'''Bender''': This is so unfair!</poem><br />
<poem>'''Ruth''': I don't wrestle dry, Bender. I went to Vasser.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Bender''': Professor, I want you to look these poor floozies in the eye and tell them their oil wrestling days are over.</poem><br />
:''[Farnsworth looks at the two nasty fembots sadly over the sad music from ''[[Rebirth]]''. He finally gives in.]''<br />
<poem>'''Farnsworth''': ''[sighs]'' I suppose there could be a minute quantity of petroleum left. But it would be insanely deep within the earth, at pressures so dangerously high that—</poem><br />
:''[a horn is heard honking, the camera cuts to reveal it was Bender honking the horn of the ship]''<br />
<poem>'''Bender''': Let's go already!</poem><br />
:''['''Scene''': Exterior shot of PE headquarters]''<br />
The ship exits the building with a drill attached to it. It starts drilling right in the middle of a street.<br />
:''['''Cut to''': Inside the ship]''<br />
<poem>'''Leela''': Setting Bachman turners to overdive.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Hermes''': We're getting pretty deep. ''[gasps]'' Look! ''More'' coffins!</poem><br />
:''['''Cut to''': An exterior shot of the ship. We see other tunnels around them. The ship tunnels into a tunnel, and suddenly in mid-air, crashes.]''<br />
<poem>'''Amy''' ''[Off Screen]'': Oh, no! We tunneled into a tunnel!</poem><br />
:''['''Cut to''': Inside the ship.]''<br />
<poem>'''Zoidberg''': What's that loud, boring sound you'll hear when I stop talking? ''[A loud, boring sound is heard. Leela adjusts the mirror so that she can see an huge, albino (red-eyed, white) worm-looking thing.]''</poem><br />
<poem>'''Farnsworth''': ''[Gasps]'' It's an albino humping worm!</poem><br />
:''['''Cut to''': An exterior shot of the sip. The worm is behind them. ''Cut to'': Inside the ship.]''<br />
<poem>'''Fry''': Why do they call it that? ''[The ship rocks back and forth; parts of the worm are seen outside the window]''</poem><br />
<poem>'''Farnsworth''': Because it doesn't have any pigment.</poem><br />
:''['''Cut to''': An exterior shot of the ship. The ship drills deeper.]''<br />
<poem>'''Farnsworth''': What's our depth, captain?</poem><br />
<poem>'''Leela''': Forty kilometers. Fifty!</poem><br />
<poem>'''Bender''': There must be petroleum oil down here somewhere. Go deeper! Deeper!</poem><br />
<poem>'''Farnsworth''': No, Bender! The ship can't withstand this much pressure! Sometimes it falls apart just sitting in the hanger!</poem><br />
<poem>'''Bender''': Professor, I've never asked for anything before, but seeing those fembots glistening with oil means more to me than life itself.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Farnsworth''': ''[Sighs]'' Oh, call me an old fool, but I believe the lord is speaking through you. ''[To the rest of the crew]'' Brace yourselves, everyone!</poem><br />
[Everyone braces themselves. The ship goes deeper.]<br />
<poem>'''Leela''': One hundred kilometers! Two hundred!</poem><br />
<poem>'''Amy''': I hate to complain about the heat, but the air conditioner is on fire!</poem><br />
:''['''Cut to''': The air conditioner. It is on fire.]''<br />
<poem>'''Hermes''': ''[Is about to bite into a soylent ice-cream snack, but it melts.]'' My ice cream manwich!</poem><br />
:''['''Cut to''': Again, an exterior shot of the ship. It is drilling deeper. '''Cut to''': Inside the ship. It is breaking apart; parts of the ship become dented, and bolts fly out of them. Amy and Zoidberg rush to the back; a piece of metal dents and shoots a bolt in front of Fry.]''<br />
<poem>'''Leela''': What are we doing? We're all gonna die so this "junkyard Golem" can celebrate Robanukah.</poem> <br />
<poem>'''Bender''': You vile racist! Haven't my people suffered enough? Now keep drilling for that petroleum oil, you selfish cowards! Although, then again, I guess any kind of oil would be just as--</poem><br />
<poem>'''Everybody else''': Aah! ''[The side of the ship that everybody except for Bender is on caves in, killing everyone.]''</poem><br />
<poem>'''Bender''': ''[Looks away]'' Not my fault.</poem><br />
:''['''Caption''': 500 million years later. '''Cut to''': Exterior view of the ship; it is badly damaged. '''Cut to''': Inside the ship. Bender does not seem to be suffering from lack of beer, even though he has been on for 500 million years.]''<br />
<poem>'''Bender''': I am so great! Bender is great! Bender, Bender, Bender-- ''[Takes out the watch from [[The Prisoner of Benda]].]'' Man, where'd the time go? ''[Turns around]'' Hey, you guys wanna-- Oh. Right. ''[gasps]'' They turned into petroleum oil! I thought they were selfish, but in the end it turned out it was ''I'' who thought they were selfish!</poem><br />
:''['''Scene''': Above the surface. Bender comes up, using his head as a drill. He is carrying a can full of petroleum oil.]''<br />
<poem>'''Bender''': Doo, doo-doo-doo, doo, doo-doo, doo, doo, doo-Doo, DOO!</poem><br />
:''['''Cut to''': Inside the very damaged planet express. There is a skeleton near the surveillance tapes.]''<br />
<poem>'''Bender''': Hey, ladies, I found some... ''what the--?'' ''[Ruth and Esther are still wrestling in the oil.]'' There was only enough petroleum for four and a half weeks of oil wrestling. But it lasted for 500 million years! It's a miracle!</poem><br />
:''['''Cut to''': An exterior shot of the building. Only the planet express building is left, except for a dried up river where the road should be. The camera moves slowly away from the building.]''<br />
'''Bender''': Happy Robanukah, everyone! Coming up next, some more thoughtful, interfaith hijinx!<br />

"'''The Futurama Holiday Spectacular'''", originally titled "'''Holiday Val-U-Pak'''", is the one hundred and first episode of ''[[Futurama]]'', the thirteenth of [[Season 6|the sixth production season]] and [[Broadcast season 7|the seventh broadcast season]]. It is the third [[Seasonal episodes|seasonal episode]] in the series, though parts of ''[[Bender's Big Score]]'' exhibit seasonal themes. It aired 21 November 2010 on [[Comedy Central]], and guest starred [[Al Gore (voice actor)|Al Gore]] as [[Al Gore's head|himself]] and [[Coolio]] as [[Kwanzaa-bot]].<br />
<br />
== Plot ==<br />
=== Openings ===<br />
Everyone of the three segments begins with a message from the episode's sponsor, ''[[Gunderson's Unshelled Nuts]]''.<br />
<br />
=== Act I: [[Xmas]] ===<br />
It's [[Xmas]] Day again, and the [[Planet Express crew]] are preparing for the imminent attack from [[Robot Santa Claus]]. [[Philip J. Fry|Fry]] begins to feel depressed that Xmas just isn't like the way he used to celebrate Christmas, but he can't quite understand what is missing. Suddenly, Santa bursts in through the fireplace and answers his question, [[List of song performances#Xmas Song|in song]]: what they are missing is an old-fashioned [[pine tree]]. He then kills [[Scruffy]] and leaves. The crew realize that Santa was right, and they need to bring pine trees back from extinction, just like they did with the [[barking snakes]]. They go to the [[Svalbard Global Seed Vault]] to find some pine seeds. The crew are taken in by the [[Norwegian seed guard]], who gives them a handful of seeds, and tells them about the [[Fifty-Year Squirts]]. However, the pine seeds that they take were contaminated with germs from the nearby [[Germ Warfare Repository]], but they do not take this into consideration.<br />
<br />
Fry plants the seeds in the dirt near the [[Planet Express headquarters]]. By Xmas [[3011|next year]], it has grown into a small tree. [[Dick Cheney's head]] sees it, and, as the [[Vice-President of Earth]], commands [[Richard Nixon's head]], the [[President of Earth]], to steal the tree. Nixon replants the tree at the [[White House]] and they have an annual tree lighting. However, as soon as the tree is lit, it grows immensely. The Norwegian seed guard admits that it may have been the germs, and the tree begins to fire its pine cones off of itself and into the soil with an explosion. A tree grows from everyone of those cones, and eventually, the entire planet [[Earth]] is covered in coniferous forests. The crew are optimistic about the positive environmental impact at first, but then [[Professor Hubert J. Farnsworth|the Professor]] and [[Al Gore's head]] discover that the oxygen level in the atmosphere is dangerously high at eighty percent. [[Bender Bending Rodriguez|Bender]] lights a cigar and the entire atmosphere of Earth burns up, killing billions. In space, Santa flies by in his sleigh, as if he orchestrated the entire event in order to kill everyone on Earth. He then pleasantly tells us to stay tuned for the next segment.<br />
<br />
=== Act II: [[Robanukah]] ===<br />
It's the end of the Xmas break, and the Planet Express crew is about to destroy the gifts that they forgot to deliver. Bender begins to complain that only the [[Humans|Human]] holidays are celebrated by them, but a [[Robots|Robot]] holiday, like [[Robanukah]], a day Bender made up so he could get out of work ([[Fear of a Bot Planet|1ACV05]]), isn't. He manages to convince them, [[List of song performances#Robanukah Song|in song]], to let him celebrate Robanukah by not working, and watching two [[Fembot]]s named [[Ruth and Esther]] wrestle in [[petroleum oil]]. However, Bender discovers that the referee, a monkey named [[Abraham]], only has enough oil for Ruth and Esther to wrestle for four and a half weeks, when Robanukah is supposed to last for six and a half weeks. When he goes to buy more at a [[Mombil]] gas station, [[Sal's friend]] informs them that the Earth has ran dry of petroleum oil. Since Ruth and Esther won't wrestle without oil, Bender makes the Professor install a huge drill to the front of the [[Planet Express ship]] and drill a tunnel deep into Earth to find a small amount.<br />
<br />
Along the way, they are attacked by an [[albino humping worm]], which humps the ship. They manage to escape it and drill even deeper. As the ship continues to fall apart, and the heat rises, the crew gets more and more annoyed at being forced to risk their lives just for Bender. Bender gets mad at their disrespect for the robot tradition, but then part of the ship caves in and crushes all of the crew except for Bender. The ship ends up destroyed, and jammed in the tunnel, more than two hundred kilometers underground. [[Time Travel#Chronological|Five hundred million years later]], Bender is still in the ship. He has been relaxing in the side of it that wasn't destroyed. Bender begins to miss the others, but then realizes that over the millions of years, the crew turned into petroleum oil. He collects some and drills back to the surface with his head, where all of [[New New York]] has turned into desert, except for the Planet Express building. He walks in to give the Fembots his oil, but is surprised to find out that the oil that was supposed to last for four and a half weeks had lasted five hundred million years, and that Ruth and Esther were wrestling all this time. Bender proclaims it a Robanukah miracle.<br />
<br />
=== Act III: [[Kwanzaa]] ===<br />
The crew all visit the [[Conrad family]] in [[Conrad apartment|their apartment]] for a [[Kwanzaa]] party, with many of the African-American supporting characters, including [[Barbados Slim]] and [[Ethan "Bubblegum" Tate|Bubblegum]], who gives [[Dwight Conrad|Dwight]] a book called ''[[The Mathketball Diaries]]''. At the dinner table, [[Dr. John A. Zoidberg|Dr. Zoidberg]] wishes that someone could tell them more about Kwanzaa's ancient traditions. To answer him, [[Kwanzaa-bot]] bursts in through the wall like the {{w|Kool-Aid Man}} and explains, [[List of song performances#Kwanzaa Rap|in rap]], the seven principles of Kwanzaa. Before he leaves, he reminds [[LaBarbara Conrad|LaBarbara]] that the seven candles of Kwanzaa needs to be made of [[beeswax]]. LaBarbara makes [[Hermes Conrad|Hermes]] and his co-workers to go out in the middle of the night to find some. At ''[[Petunia's Self-Serve Bee Farm]]'', one of the few bee farms open on Kwanzaa, [[Petunia]]'s bee's have been suffering from {{w|colony collapse disorder|CCD}}, due to the [[bee parasites]] that have attached themselves to the bees. Since they have no beeswax, they resort to another option: finding wax from the [[Space Bees]] that almost killed Fry and [[Turanga Leela|Leela]] last time ([[The Sting|4ACV12]]).<br />
<br />
They fly to the bees' [[Space Hive]], equip Bender with a [[trans-bumblator]] and cautiously enter. Inside, they discover that the bees there are also suffering from the same parasites. The [[Space Bee Queen]] explains to them that the parasites have been making her children fight with each other, and create chaos in the hive. Although they got enough wax, Hermes thinks that the right thing to do would be to help the Queen restore order by explaining the principles of Kwanzaa. They are successful, and the parasites die. However, now that the bees are back to normal, they go back to attacking the Planet Express crew. Kwanzaa-bot reappears to help them, but is then killed by the bees. The crew end up covered in wax and slowly burning to death as the bees use them as candles.<br />
<br />
=== Closing ===<br />
A curtain comes down and Al Gore's head informs the audience that the crew will be back with new episodes next year, with him as [[Captain Lance Starman]]. [[Amy Wong|Amy]] comes in wearing a ''Gunderson's Nuts'' costume, for one last piece of advertisement.<br />
<br />
== Reception ==<br />
The episode was generally not well received among fans, and many called it both [[Season 6|the season's]] and [[Futurama|the series']] worst episode.<ref>[http://www.peelified.com/Futurama-Forum-1/Topic-20067-0-Thoughts_on_ACV_Futurama.html PEEL: Thoughts on 6ACV13 - The Futurama Holiday Spectacular]</ref><br />

*[[List of song performances#Xmas Song|Xmas Song]]<br />
*[[List of song performances#Robanukah Song|Robanukah Song]]<br />
*[[List of song performances#Kwanzaa Rap|Kwanzaa Rap]]<br />
<br />
=== Trivia ===<br />
*This is the first episode to feature the name of [[Futurama|the series]] in its title.<br />
*This is the first non-canon episode to not feature the [[What-If Machine]] and therefore, unlike the ones that did feature it, has no canon story components.<br />
*This episode aired the same day as ''[[The Simpsons]]'' episode "[[simpsons:The Fool Monty|The Fool Monty]]", which also had a {{w|Dick Cheney}} appearance.<br />
*Dr. Zoidberg doesn't have any lines until the Robanukah segment.<br />
<br />
=== Cultural References ===<br />
*Farnsworth tells Fry to "Cram it, Virginia!". This is a reference to the world famous letter to the editor "{{w|Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Claus}}".<br />
*Leela sets the "Bachman Turners" to "Overdrive". This is a reference to the band {{w|Bachman Turner Overdrive}}.<br />
<br />
=== Continuity ===<br />
*The [[Conrad apartment]] is revisited ([[The Route of All Evil|3ACV12]], [[Bender's Big Score|BBS]]).<br />
*The giant [[Space Bees]] are seen again {{et|4ACV12}}.<br />
*Dwight can be seen reading a [[Captain Yesterday]] comic {{et|4ACV04}}.<br />
*The way the cake house is destroyed during the [[List of song performances#Xmas Song|Xmas Song]] is reminiscent to the way the house where [[Enos Fry]] dies is destroyed {{et|3ACV19}}. This references famous atomic bomb test footage, most likely part of the Project Cue tests in May 1955.<br />
*In the shot where pine trees are springing all around Earth, we can see our planet is turning in the wrong direction {{et|6ACV08}}.<br />
*Even though it is clear from the first [[Seasonal episodes|seasonal episode]] {{et|2ACV04}} that Zoidberg is on Santa's good list, he still gets attacked.<br />
**Probably because of Zoidberg snipping the Xmas lights that incapacitate Robot Santa in that episode.<br />
*The [[Holophonor]] is seen again ([[Parasites Lost|3ACV02]], [[A Taste of Freedom|4ACV05]], [[The Devil's Hands Are Idle Playthings|4ACV18]], [[The Beast with a Billion Backs|TBWABB]], [[Recaps#5ACV16|5ACV16]], [[Liquid Diamond Is Forever!|US#X02]]).<br />
*[[Mombil]] is seen again ([[Bender's Game|BG]]).<br />
*[[Bender's watch]] is seen again {{et|6ACV10}}.<br />
<br />
=== Goofs ===<br />
*When [[Kwanzaa-bot]] was rapping, the beat played throughout the whole song, even when they stopped playing the instruments.<br />
*Last time we heard of Robanukah {{et|1ACV05}}, it had been only two weeks long and had different traditions when celebrated in the [[Planet Express ship|ship]].<br />
**Given that Bender made up Robanukah to skip work, the different traditions can be explained as being whatever Bender felt was good at the time. The addition of four and a half weeks can be explained in this manner. Bender added several weeks to Robanukah because he wanted more time to drink and party.<br />
*When the [[droidel]] landed on {{w|Shin (letter)|Shin}} (ש), Bender took all the coins, but, in the actual game, this letter either means to give in two coins or half your coins, and in neither version of it do you give them to another player.<br />
**Perhaps Bender's droidel has different rules, too.<br />
*Bender's Robanukah has nothing to do with the actual Hanukkah miracles, but the droidel still has a {{w|Nun (letter)|Nun}} (נ), {{w|Gimel}} (ג), {{w|He (letter)|He}} (ה), and Shin (ש) on it, which stands for ''Nes Gadol Hayah Shom''. "A big miracle happened there".<br />
**Bender barely had time to make the traditions of the holiday up. He probably just chose the signs of a normal dreidel.<br />
*Fry probably shouldn't have knowledge of the deadly silent Prius, seeing as he was frozen in 1999.<br />
**Priuses in the time interim may have become something else. Or he does actual research.<br />
*Bender has been on for 500 million years without beer, but he has no rust.<br />
