When [[Kif]] gets pregnant, [[Amy]] questions her readiness to become a parent.


==The Story==
== The Story ==


===Act I: Prepare for Ship-to-Ship-Intimacy!===
=== Act I: "No-shoot fire stick in space canoe! Cause explosive decompression!" ===
[[Kif Kroker|Kif]] just can't stand his long-distance relationship with [[Amy Wong|Amy]] any more - he wants more. Just at this moment, the crew is to deliver pain medicine to the hive mind of Nigel 7, around where the [[Nimbus]] is patrolling. Amy smuggles herself on board of the [[Planet Express Ship]] and changes course towards the Nimbus while the crew is in [[Hibernative naptosis|hibernative naptosis]] to save oxygen. Kif and Amy share an intimate moment on the Nimbus' [[Holo-shed]] where he tries to display his romantic feelings to her, when the Holo-shed malfunctions and the holographic characters come alive. Kif and Amy flee towards the bridge, pursued by the holograms. [[Zapp Brannigan|Zapp]] fires on the pursuers, causing an explosive decompression that whirls everyone around on the bridge. In the process, Kif looses his right glove and has skin contact with everyone present. Later in sickbay, the doctor finds that Kif is pregnant.
[[Kif Kroker|Kif]] just can't stand his long-distance relationship with [[Amy Wong|Amy]] any more - he wants more. Just at this moment, the crew is sent to deliver pain medicine to the hive mind of Nigel 7. The ''[[Nimbus]]'' is patrolling nearby, with Kif onboard. Amy smuggles herself on board of the [[Planet Express Ship]] and changes course towards the ''Nimbus'' while the crew is in [[Coinage#H|hibernative naptosis]] to save oxygen.


===Act II: So the toilet seat is the uncle or something?===
Kif and Amy share an intimate moment on the ''Nimbus''{{'}} [[Holo-Shed]] where he tries to display his romantic feelings to her, when the Holo-shed malfunctions and the holographic characters come alive. Kif and Amy flee towards the bridge, pursued by the holograms. [[Zapp Brannigan|Zapp]] fires on the pursuers, causing an explosive decompression that whirls everyone around on the bridge. In the process, Kif loses his right glove and has skin contact with everyone present. Later in sickbay, the doctor finds that Kif is pregnant.
It turns out that [[Amphibiosans]] can exchange genetic material over their skins when romantically engaged. Kif is delighted, but Amy does not quite share his enthusiasm. Besides, it is unclear who is the sire of Kif's offspring. They travel back to [[Earth]] and let the [[Professor Hubert J. Farnsworth|Professor]] figure it out with the [[Maternifuge|Alien Cross-Species Genetic Analyzer]] - it turns out that [[Turanga Leela|Leela]] has provided the DNA. But Kif states that his romantic involvement is with Amy, his [[smizmar]], who after the rules of his people is considered the mother. On Kif's baby shower with the crew and Zapp in [[Philip J. Fry|Fry's]] and [[Bender Bending Rodriguez|Bender's]] appartment, Amy can't stand it any longer - she is not yet ready for the responsibility of motherhood and runs away in tears, leaving Kif behind alone.


===Act III: What a disgusting and beautiful process===
=== Act II: "So the toilet seat is the uncle or something?" ===
Just then, Kif's birthing process is about to start and he returns to his home world [[Amphibios 9]], accompagnied by the Leela, Fry, Bender and Zapp. They enter the ancestral birthing grounds of Clan Kroker in a swamp, where they meet the [[The Grand Midwife|Grand Midwife]]. Since his smizmar Amy is not with him, he has to go through the beginning of the birthing ceremony alone, but then Amy arrives and assists in the birth of the several hundred tadpole-like offspring. Leela and Amy defend the little creatures as they are attacked by predators on the way towards the water and succeed. In twenty years time, the offspring will crawl onto land as children, and Amy thinks she will be ready then. Leela indeed turns out to be the genetical mother - many of the tadpoles have just one eye.

Besides, it is unclear who is the sire of Kif's offspring. They travel back to [[Earth]] and let the [[Professor Hubert J. Farnsworth|Professor]] figure it out with the [[Maternifuge|Alien Cross-Species Genetic Analyzer]] - after expelling [[Philip J. Fry|Fry]], Zapp (much to Kif's relief), [[Zoidberg]] (who lives in the machine), and finally Amy, it turns out that [[Turanga Leela|Leela]] has provided the DNA.


==Additional Info==
But Kif states that his romantic involvement is with Amy, his [[smizmar]], and according to the rules on his planet, she is considered the mother. At Kif's baby shower with the crew and Zapp in [[Philip J. Fry|Fry's]] and [[Bender Bending Rodriguez|Bender's]] [[Bender and Fry's apartment|apartment]], everyone gives presents to Kif and Amy, and [[Leo and Inez Wong|her parents]]' present is an ironing board (made out of Amy's party board) symbolizing her new responsibilities. Amy can't stand it any longer  - she's not yet ready for the responsibility of motherhood and runs away in tears, leaving Kif behind alone.
===Trivia===
 
*The DVD commentaries state the ship-to-ship-intimacy is a spoof from the James Bond movie "Moonraker". It might also have been inspired by the slightly older predecessor "You only live twice" that had a similar setting.
=== Act III: "It's a poisonous froad!" ===
*Outside the Nimbus' sickbay, the sign reads "Sick Bay

=== Trivia ===
*Outside the ''Nimbus''{{'}} sickbay, the sign reads "Sick Bay & Horta Burn Clinic", referring to a ''[[Star Trek]]: {{st|Star Trek: The Original Series|TOS}}'' episode featuring a race of crystalline beings named the Horta, which, among other things, had very high surface temperature.
*Only in this episode, we see Amy's [[wristlojackimator]] in operation - as a holographic day-planner. (See [[#Items on Amy's Calendar|Items on Amy's Calendar]].)
*The [[Dr. Veins McGee|doctor]] in the ''Nimbus''{{'}} sickbay greatly resembles {{st|Leonard McCoy|Dr. "Bones" McCoy}} from ''Star Trek'', as such he is named "[[Dr. Veins McGee|Veins]]" in a deleted scene.
*Fry has only 9 lines in this episode.
*This episode's title is likely a reference to the catchphrase of [[Elzar]].
*The [[list of title captions|title caption]] is "Bigfoot's Choice". [[Bigfoot]] would later appear in "[[Spanish Fry]]".

=== Goofs ===
*Spirit the pony has {{w|cloven hooves}}.  While cloven hooves are typical of {{cat|animal}}s like cattle, deer, goats, and sheep, {{w|equine}} mammals do not have them.
*In the shot after [[Dr. John Zoidberg|Zoidberg]] is ejected from the [[Maternifuge]], it looks as if he's got no pants on - belly and legs are carapace-coloured.
*On Amy's Calendar, Sunday the 21<sup>st</sup> says "Hang with Walter Koening", but his name is properly spelled "Koenig".
**Amy may have just misspelled his name by accident.
**It's also possible that "Walter Koening" is a different person to [[Walter Koenig]].
*This episode blurs the definition of the word species.  Technically, two organisms are only members of the same species if they can interbreed and produce fertile offspring.  However, from this episode, one can conclude that amphibiosians can interbreed with any organism in the universe.
**There's no guarantee that the offspring were fertile. <!-- I'm not really sure where to put this one.  If someone else that knows better thinks it should go somewhere else, then by all means, move it.-->
*In the scene where there was explosive decompression, Kif's hand only makes contact with Leela's hand.
**That's why Leela turned out to be the mother. It's likely that Kif was so shaken by the incident he didn't realise he didn't make hand contact with Fry, Amy or Zapp.
**Kif may not have made hand to hand contact with Amy, but she did grab his face after he slipped.
*In the scene where there was explosive decompression, there should not have been that much wind.  It certainly wouldn't have drawn Bender (who apparently weighs over a ton) from the floor of the ship.
*Depending on the radius of the centrifuge (assuming a range of 3ft-6ft), the characters would have experienced 100000xg-200000xg force for up to a minute if it was spinning at 10,000RPM.
**This is probably a case of cartoon physics, but relative g force that high would crush a human being within seconds.

"Kif Gets Knocked Up a Notch" is the fifty-fifth episode of Futurama, the first of the fourth production season and the fifth of the fifth broadcast season. It aired on 12 January, 2003, on Fox. When Kif gets pregnant, Amy questions her readiness to become a parent.

The Story

Act I: "No-shoot fire stick in space canoe! Cause explosive decompression!"

Kif just can't stand his long-distance relationship with Amy any more - he wants more. Just at this moment, the crew is sent to deliver pain medicine to the hive mind of Nigel 7. The Nimbus is patrolling nearby, with Kif onboard. Amy smuggles herself on board of the Planet Express Ship and changes course towards the Nimbus while the crew is in hibernative naptosis to save oxygen.

Kif and Amy share an intimate moment on the Nimbus' Holo-Shed where he tries to display his romantic feelings to her, when the Holo-shed malfunctions and the holographic characters come alive. Kif and Amy flee towards the bridge, pursued by the holograms. Zapp fires on the pursuers, causing an explosive decompression that whirls everyone around on the bridge. In the process, Kif loses his right glove and has skin contact with everyone present. Later in sickbay, the doctor finds that Kif is pregnant.

Act II: "So the toilet seat is the uncle or something?"

It turns out that Amphibiosans can exchange genetic material over their skins when romantically engaged. Kif is delighted, but Amy does not quite share his enthusiasm. Besides, it is unclear who is the sire of Kif's offspring. They travel back to Earth and let the Professor figure it out with the Alien Cross-Species Genetic Analyzer - after expelling Fry, Zapp (much to Kif's relief), Zoidberg (who lives in the machine), and finally Amy, it turns out that Leela has provided the DNA.

But Kif states that his romantic involvement is with Amy, his smizmar, and according to the rules on his planet, she is considered the mother. At Kif's baby shower with the crew and Zapp in Fry's and Bender's apartment, everyone gives presents to Kif and Amy, and her parents' present is an ironing board (made out of Amy's party board) symbolizing her new responsibilities. Amy can't stand it any longer - she's not yet ready for the responsibility of motherhood and runs away in tears, leaving Kif behind alone.

Act III: "It's a poisonous froad!"

Just then, Kif's birthing process is about to start and he returns to his home world Amphibios 9 - accompanied by Leela, Fry, Bender and Zapp. They enter the ancestral birthing grounds of Clan Kroker in a swamp, where they meet the Grand Midwife. Since his smizmar Amy is not with him, he has to go through the beginning of the birthing ceremony alone, but then Amy arrives and assists in the birth of the several hundred tadpole-like offspring. Leela and Amy defend the little creatures as they are attacked by predators on the way towards the water and succeed. In twenty years time, the offspring will crawl onto land as children, and Amy thinks she will be ready then. Leela indeed turns out to be the genetic mother - many of the tadpoles have just one eye.

Additional Info

Trivia

  • Outside the Nimbus' sickbay, the sign reads "Sick Bay & Horta Burn Clinic", referring to a Star Trek: TOS episode featuring a race of crystalline beings named the Horta, which, among other things, had very high surface temperature.
  • Only in this episode, we see Amy's wristlojackimator in operation - as a holographic day-planner. (See Items on Amy's Calendar.)
  • The doctor in the Nimbus' sickbay greatly resembles Dr. "Bones" McCoy from Star Trek, as such he is named "Veins" in a deleted scene.
  • Fry has only 9 lines in this episode.
  • This episode's title is likely a reference to the catchphrase of Elzar.
  • The title caption is "Bigfoot's Choice". Bigfoot would later appear in "Spanish Fry".

Allusions

  • The Nimbus' Holo-Shed is a clear reference to the holodeck on Star Trek.
  • The docking bay door mechanism on the Nimbus is a reference to a similar docking mechanism on the rocket used by SPECTRE in the 1967 James Bond film You Only Live Twice. In the audio commentary for this episode, Maurice LaMarche states that it references the 1979 Bond film Moonraker, further asserting that he cannot be stumped in James Bond trivia. He is, however, incorrect.
  • Evil Lincoln and Attila the Hun seams to be references to Star Trek: TOS "The Savage Curtain", Professor Moriarty, to the character's appearances in Star Trek: TNG, and Jack the Ripper to Star Trek: TOS "Wolf in the Fold".
