The lords of Flatbush are inhabitants of the second dimension. When Fry, Leela, Bender, and Professor Farnsworth arrived in this dimension, in 3013, [7ACV15] they encountered two of them, one of whom was the king, and he declared a feast in their honour.
They were taken to a castle, where they were presented with crêpes, flatbread, McDonald's hamburgers, and apples. However, their two-ended digestive systems could not exist in the second dimension, so the professor told the king that they should get back to the third dimension.
Because the king could not conceive of a third dimension, he ordered the professor's death. The crew then made their way to the ship, which a group of lords chasing them hit with spears and even launched a missile at. They managed to fly away.
Production
The lords of Flatbush were first seen in a preview clip for broadcast season 10, in February 2013. They were also featured in a preview clip for 7ACV15, released by Countdown to Futurama, in April. [1]
