Production
While originally known as "Nine-tenths of a Zoidberg is Underwater", the episode title changed in the process.
During June 2011, Countdown to Futurama released two items of promotional material for the episode: concept art of Triton Base Camp on 3 June and part of the storyboard showing a young Professor Farnsworth and Zoidberg on a Yeti-hunting trip on 4 June.
On 12 August, Comedy Central released a video clip featuring Zoidberg performing surgery on Fry, Leela, and Hermes.[2]

- Zoidberg causes Fry to loose blood and develop a host of syndromes named after pop culture figures.
- Fry first develops a condition called "Simpsons jaundice", referring to the yellow skin of characters from The Simpsons. He then says the phrase "Ay carumba!", a catchphrase of Bart Simpson.
- Fry then gets "Garfield syndrome", a reference to Garfield the cat. He looks like Garfield and even says his phrase "I hate Mondays"
- Finally, Fry develops "Muppet gangrene". This causes him to act like Kermit the Frog and say that "It's not easy being gangrenous", referring to Kermit's famous refrain from "Bein' Green".
