"Yo Leela Leela" is the one-hundred-and-ninth episode of Futurama, the twenty-first of the sixth production season and the sixth of the eighth broadcast season. It aired 21 July, 2011 on Comedy Central. Leela becomes a Hollywood big shot after creating a hit children's television series.

Production

During May 2011, Countdown to Futurama began released three items of promotional material for the episode: concept art of Amy and Zoidberg dressed up as other characters from the episode on 24 May, concept art of Bender wearing a fur coat and a bling on 25 May, and part of the storyboard showing two babies engaged in Extreme Toddler Wrestling on 26 May.

Comedy Central released a video clip set in the Cookieville Minimum-Security Orphanarium featuring Leela telling Warden Vogel that she has a new story for the orphans and Abner Doubledeal visiting to conduct market research on 14 July, 2011.^[1]

Additional Info

Trivia

The daycare center where Extreme Toddler Wrestling is broadcast from was originally named after wrestler Randy "Macho Man" Savage. Due to the poor timing of this episode airing three months and one day after Savage's death, the center was renamed.

Allusions

The title of the episode is a parody of the TV show Yo Gabba Gabba!.
The name of the television network, Tickelodeon, is a pun on the words Nickelodeon and tickle.
Leela said a show that is often slightly good gets cancelled, sometimes two or three times. This is an obvious fun poke at the fate of Futurama.
Abner Doubledeal says that Leela's show would be bigger than SpongeBot SquareBolts, a reference to SpongeBob SquarePants. Tom Kenny, the voice of Doubledeal, also voices SpongeBob.
The Young People's Choice Awards are a parody of the People's Choice Awards and the Nickelodeon Kid's Choice Awards. Leela being "Slurmed" is a reference to people being "slimed" on the Kid's Choice Awards.
When Fry said to Leela that she may have become a Lady Gaga-esque fame hag, this was a direct jab at Lady Gaga and her amount of popularity as well as a possible reference to Lady Gaga's album "Fame".

Continuity

Leela claimed to know who Abner Doubledeal was. Although her statement was possibly intended as a joke, she did in fact know him as the owner of the New New York Mets blurnsball team in "A Leela of Her Own".
Scruffy appears male in this episode even though he was still female at the end of "Neutopia" (the previous episode).

Goofs

Bender says that he had the best Christmas ever instead of the best Xmas ever.
