Sorry, but "clown fundamentals" is one of the best jokes of the entire series.

Not to mention that Hank Aaron is funny as hell in that episode as well.

I still liked this episode. But I guess Futurama is like pizza to me. Even when it's not that great, it's still pretty good. They'd have to really gently caress something up for me to not like it.

I guess what stood out to me was that it seemed like a rushed script. There were a couple things I thought of that might have made this episode work better. If Leela hadn't gone from Leela to EgoTripLeela so quickly, or so blatantly, the twist would have been more of a surprise. Just some simple scenes showing her trying to write the show without actually being at the cartoon planet. Maybe struggling with the idea of going there a little bit.

I did buy her treating the crew like crap, though not at the level of this episode. It just wasn't in her character to be THAT crass to them. MY IMMERSION! :v:

Anyway, it wasn't a horrible episode. I'm gonna go out on a limb and say that I've not seen a Futurama episode that was blatantly horrible YET. I know there will come a day, but I embrace it as a rite of passage for a great show.

Someone put a wind farm in front of my keyboard!

Edit: Also, it's not like they were short on time this episode. Wasn't that a full opening? Or am I just so used to the new short version that I've forgotten?

Zoidberg would never throw money in the air. :colbert:

Or have enough money to put it in a bag.

It's not money. It's mashed potatoes.

Zoidberg just wanted to look like a big-shot.

How come the ratings are such poo poo this season? Last summer they started at 3,000,000 and stayed in the 2,000,000s for the rest of the season. This season it can't even break 1,500,000.

You can't give up hope just because something is hopeless! You have to hope even harder, and stick your fingers in your ears! And go LALALALALALALALALALALALALALA!

I've been wondering the same thing since the bone vampire episode, where it got really bad. Dude's over 60 though; it had to catch up to him at some point.

Not to mention he had a bout with cancer right around when the movies started coming out.

I agree that the voices have evolved over the years, but:
Fry still sounds like Fry
Zoidberg still sounds like Zoidberg
Farnsworth still sounds like Farnsworth

Tell me YOUR voice sounds the same as it did 10 years ago.

That was for Morbo, who was supposed to have an inhumanly deep, digitally altered voice, but then he just ended up doing it naturally.

Who sounds NOTHING AT ALL like Lrr or Horrible Gelatinous Blob.

That's a running gag in most of the commentaries featuring Maurice

Don't forget that CC has been running them out of production order all season, so this upcoming episode might have something to do with the tone of this one.

Well considering he's sold/destroyed his entire body before and apparently suffered no adverse effects from losing his butt processor (also the empathy chip installed to his head and his personality being downloaded out of his head) this probably falls under "a wizard did it."
He's always got the trusty ol' 6502 in his head.
