- Not to be confused with Fun on the bun.
"Fun on a Bun" is the one hundred and twenty-second episode of Futurama, the eighth of the seventh production season and the ninth broadcast season. Fry is the victim of a horrific sausage-making accident.[2]
Production
In 2011, a few revelations concerning the episode were made. On 15 November, Futurama assistant director Aimee Steinberger revealed that "[the production team was] done with [the episode]", calling it "[her] most time intensive grueling ep ever", and that the animatic would be screened "on the FOX lot [on the next day]".[3] On the next day, after leaving the screening, she revealed that "Everyone [had] liked it"[4] and, after watching the animatic, Futurama writer Eric Rogers revealed that it "might be [the best episode of the ninth broadcast season]", calling it "EPIC".[5]
In 2012, more revelations concerning the episode were made. On 29 February, CGEF revealed the episode's title, its writer to be Dan Vebber and its director to be Stephen Sandoval.[6][7] On 20 April, Steinberger revealed that she "[had seen] fully animated color acts 2 and 3 back from Korea on [her 7ACV08 the previous day]" and that she "still [thought it was] a really great show"[8] and Rogers jokingly asked her if "[she had been] expecting it to be worse".[9] On the next day, she, in reply to him, revealed that "[it had been] demanding a lot" and that "[she thought that] when [it was] done [it would] be nice"[10] and he, in reply to her, revealed that "[it was] a monster, for sure, but [that Rough Draft] always [delivered]" and that "[it would] be awesome as always".[11] By 8 June,[12] MSN TV had revealed the episode's plot and air date.[2]
In June, Countdown to Futurama began releasing promotional material for the episode. It has so far released three items: a design of the cover of Unfrozen Dude Magazine on 13 June,[1] a design of a Neanderthal chief on 14 June[13] and part of the storyboard set in a sausage contest showing Bender angry about winning third place and Zapp as a judge on 15 June.[14]
Reception
On 3 May 2012, Aimee Steinberger revealed that she had "watched the finalish color, full animation for [the episode] at the FOX lot [on that day]", that "it really did turn out nice" and that she was "Really proud of [it]"[15] and Eric Rogers called it the "2013 Emmy nominee", "Epic fun"[16] and "awesome".[17]
