'''Yivo''' is a huge, planet-sized alien from another universe in which Yivo dwells alone (in contrast to ours, where we are many). Because there are no others like Yivo, Yivo has no determinable gender, and thus instead of "he" and "she", the word "[[Coinage#S|shklee]]" shall be used, as well "shklim" or "shkler" to replace "him" or "her". Yivo is super-sentient, and can communicate coherently with 20 quadrillion beings, all simultaneously. Sklee can also do 20 quadrillion simultaneous tasks.<br />
<br />
== Biography ==<br />
<br />
Yivo has existed for longer than our universe has existed, so shklee may be older than the [[Nibblonians]]. Accordingly Yivo had a stamp collection until shklee realized shklee was alone.<br />
<br />
It was not until the [[Anomaly]] appeared that Yivo got shkler chance to end shkler loneliness. Through the Anomaly came [[Philip J. Fry]], who was lonely and depressed due to his recent breakup with his girlfriend [[Colleen]] and possibly his inability to ever get in a relationship with [[Turanga Leela]]. In Yivo's universe, they met and created a relationship.<br />
<br />
Yivo then decided to get emotionality attached with everyone in Universe Gamma &mdash; this universe &mdash; with shkler tentacles that could reach everywhere. However, at first the people of Universe Gamma weren't pleased with the thought of having the tentacles in their world until they were attached, at which the apparent brainwashing forced them to like it&mdash;this quickly turned out not to be the case, as they had actually fallen in love.<br />
<br />
However, [[Turanga Leela]] managed to avoid getting attached by pretending to already have with a pink garden hose. She then revealed to everyone that Yivo's tentacles weren't at all tentacles, but "[[Coinage#G|gentacles]]," meaning that Yivo had been mating with everyone in Universe Gamma. Yivo explained that shkler plan was simply to mate with Universe Gamma, but quickly agrees to call it off and pulls the tentacles/gentacles out of everyone.<br />
<br />
The people of Universe Gamma agree to go on a date with Yivo. But when Yivo doesn't seem to be making any kind of commitment, they decide to dump shklim. However, when they prepare to give shklim the news, Yivo proposes to Universe Gamma, and they accept. Everyone in Universe Gamma enters Yivo's universe and lives on top of shklim, which looks very similar to the concept of [[#Heaven|Heaven]]. Everyone seems happy there until [[Bender Bending Rodríguez|Bender]] and his [[Army of the Damned]] drags Yivo through the Anomaly so they can destroy shkler.<br />
<br />
When Yivo finds out how Bender could attack shklim, shklee finds out Fry contacted Bender, which shklee had specifically asked none of them to do (i.e. not contacting other universes). Shklee decides to break off the marriage. But to shkler consolation, shklee did find someone who understood shklim, namely Colleen. And so they leave Universe Gamma together, and the Anomaly closes.<br />
<br />
== Heaven ==<br />
Due to Yivo's sheer size, upon shkler is a world where people of Universe Gamma can dwell. However, it appears to be much similar to Heaven of several religions in human culture. According to Yivo, that is because shklee sent an image of it to Universe Gamma's artists long ago&mdash;the clouds are vapours that shklee exhumes, and the angels are just mindless [[Jakabird|jakabirds]] which keep shklis body clean and free of parasitic larvae.<br />
<br />
== Biology ==<br />
<br />
*Yivo is what appears to be a living planet with tentacles that can serve as either limbs, groins, or matter transportation tubes. <br />
*Is made of [[Electromatter]], and can only be harmed by other Electromatter.<br />
*Only known waste product is a vapour which smells pleasant to humans.<br />
*Can "mate", but does not have any known reproductive functions therein.<br />
*Is seemingly able to infinitely extend tentacles and golden escalators. Can also spawn a seemingly infinite number of tentacles from other tentacles.<br />
*Can spawn a mouth at the end of each tentacle, and talk with it.<br />
*Is able to revive certain life forms, although it is not known how shklee does this.<br />
*Can see out of each tentacle, despite having no known eyes on them.<br />
*Has one giant eye and one giant mouth on shkler main body.<br />
*Has no known life span, and any being of Universe A/Gamma living on shkler will not age or progress in any way towards death either.<br />
*Appears to bleed a greyish-brown fluid.<br />

"'''The 30% Iron Chef'''" is fifty-fourth episode of ''[[Futurama]]'', twenty-second and last of the [[Season 3|third production season]] and eleventh of the [[Broadcast season 4|fourth broadcast season]]. It aired 14 April, 2002 on FOX. [[Bender Bending Rodríguez|Bender]]'s dream of becoming a chef seems to have ended when [[Elzar]] refuses to teach him, but on [[Bumbase Alpha]], he meets [[Helmut Spargle]] who may have the secret Bender needs to be a great chef.<br />
<br />
== The Story ==<br />
<br />
=== Act I: "But this food actually tastes better as vomit!" ===<br />
[[Bender Bending Rodriguez|Bender]] is watching [[Good Morning Earth]] with [[Morbo]] and [[Linda]], Morbo hosts a segment with Bender's idol, the famous chef [[Elzar]]. Following Elzar’s instructions, Bender is cooking brunch in his usual, inedible style. [[Fry]] learns that Bender is cooking and leaves to warn/tell the others. Meanwhile, the [[Professor Hubert J. Farnsworth|Professor]] is showing off a [[scale model of the world's largest bottle]]. Fry warns the rest of the crew about Bender’s cooking and they attempt to run away, only to have Bender intercept them. While the rest of the [[Planet Express crew|crew]] try to avoid eating Bender's cooking without hurting his feelings, [[Dr. John Zoidberg|Zoidberg]] stays behind and accidentally breaks the bottle. As he is returning to serve up glasses of mop-squeezings, he overhears Fry and [[Turanga Leela|Leela]] talking about how bad his cooking is. His feelings are so hurt, he leaves a note and runs away.<br />
<br />
=== Act II: "That jerk Elzar ruined my dream of being a chef too." ===<br />
Bender tries to convince [[Elzar]] to teach him to cook, but Elzar refuses. Miserable, he ends up meeting some [[hobos]] and joins them in hopping a train to the biggest hobo jungle in the quadrant, [[Bumbase Alpha]], located on a remote asteroid. Meanwhile, Back at Planet Express, Zoidberg, after failing to fix the model, concocts a plan to frame Fry for breaking it. At Bumbase Alpha he meets [[Helmut Spargle]], the chef who used to be the host of a [[Down-Home Cooking With Helmut Spargle|TV show]] and had once trained Elzar to cook. Spargle agrees to teach Bender to cook in order to get revenge on Elzar, who he blames for ending his career. In his final test, Bender serves Spargle a meal -- which kills him. Before he dies, he passes on the secret of perfect flavor, in the form of a diamond vial containing the essence of pure flavor. Bender vows to avenge his late teacher by defeating Elzar. Back at Planet Express Headquarters, the Professor discovers the broken bottle and Zoidberg's fake clues pointing to Fry. Though he doesn't remember committing the crime, Fry shrugs and pays the Professor $10 to replace the bottle. Zoidberg begins to feel guilty for framing his friend.<br />
<br />
=== Act III: "Also, it comes with double prize money." ===<br />
Bender confronts Elzar and challenges him to a cook-off. They compete on the [[Television|TV program]] ''[[Iron Cook]]'', where their secret ingredient was Soylent Green. Elzar produces a variety of eye-pleasing dishes, including a salad garnished with $100 bills. Although Bender's food looks awful, the judges declare that it tastes better and make him the winner. Bender gives a stirring speech, after which Zoidberg charges the stage to confess for framing Fry. Since he cannot repay the money, he attempts to kill himself by committing {{w|seppuku}}, but ends up merely breaking a $5,000 sword on his shell. Back at Planet Express, after watching the episode of [[Iron Cook]] on TV, the Professor tests Bender's vial of "pure flavor" and determines it to be ordinary water - laced with a few spoonfuls of LSD. Bender offers to cook the crew food laced with the water and they eagerly accept.<br />
<br />
== Additional Info ==<br />
=== Trivia ===<br />
*We learn in this episode that Bender has 8 senses, which do not include taste but ''do'' include an unexplained sense, "Schmision."<br />
*The dishes prepared by Bender for the crew are:<br />
**A human digestive tract for Professor Farnsworth<br />
**A horse's lower leg for Amy<br />
**A dish with a side of two eye balls for Leela<br />
**Fry's meal is not distinguishable<br />
**Hermes meal is not distinguishable<br />
*At the beginning of Act 3, [[Horrible Gelatinous Blob]] was seen in a hovercar.<br />

=== Outside References ===<br />
*The montage showing Helmut Spargle teaching Bender to cook includes several references.<br />
**The music playing is from a training montage in [http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0087538/ The Karate Kid].<br />
**Bender peeling a hover-potato with an energy blade is a modeled after a scene from {{sw|Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope}}, when {{sw|Obi-Wan Kenobi}} was teaching {{sw|Luke Skywalker}} to feel {{sw|The Force}} and use a {{sw|Lightsaber}} using a {{sw|Marksman-H combat remote|training device}}.<br />
***Also Spargel’s character and subsequent death are a parody of {{sw|Yoda}}. He also mentions the "{{sw|Dark side of the Force|Dark side}} of cooking".<br />
*Bender accidentally chops up his arm along with a cucumber, and Spargle demonstrates that the blade is still sharp enough to slice through a tomato without crushing it - a reference to commercials for [http://www.ginsuguys.net/servlet/StoreFront Ginsu knives].<br />
*[http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0070723/ Soylent Green] is a reference to the cult-classic sci-fi movie by the same name. <br />
*The space train has cars bearing labels, all references to real railroad companies.<br />
**"Baltimore & Orion" is a reference to [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baltimore_and_Ohio_Railroad Baltimore and Ohio Railroad].<br />
**"Starlight Express" is a reference to the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andrew_Lloyd_Webber Andrew Lloyd Webber] train-themed musical [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Starlight_express Starlight Express].<br />

*''Iron Cook'' is based on Japanese cooking show ''Iron Chef'' (料理の鉄人 Ryōri no Tetsujin)<br />
*The thousand year galactic war brought to an end by Martha Stewart's "Apple Dandies" (secret ingredient - pork) was possibly a reference to the conflict in Palestine, the warring parties of which refuse to eat pork for religious reasons.<br />
*The episode ends with a few bars of the Cream song "Sunshine of your Love".<br />
<br />
=== Continuity ===<br />
*When Zoidberg sneaks into the bathroom to plant fake evidence, Fry is singing "[[Walking on Sunshine]]," the same song he had sung in the showers on [[Spheron 1]] while scrubbing Kif during the episode "[[War Is the H-Word]]".<br />
<br />
=== Goofs ===<br />
*When the crew (except Bender) try to escape, Fry claims Bender is blocking the only escape route, even though there's another one behind them -- which leads directly to the ship.<br />
** In fact, as sometimes occurs whenever required by the script, the layout of the second floor of the Planet Express building is changed considerably. The Kitchenette is normally just off the Conference Table area, with no partition between them. In this episode however, it is a four-walled room, rotated 180 degrees around its original axis, and is now connected by swinging-door directly to the Employee Lounge. This would also mean that the Employee Lounge is no longer connected to the Conference Room. At the end of the episode, the swinging door has disappeared from the Employee Lounge, replaced by the regular sliding door that normally leads to the Conference Room.<br />
*A few shots of the judges' table shows Hiroki to Tate's right, but he, and some of the table's length, disappears before the judging.<br />
*The spectrum that emerges from the prism is oriented along the wrong axis. This is acknowledged in the commentary.<br />

The planet's sky was green-yellow with light green clouds. It had at least three moons. <br><br />

The '''Omicronians''' are a violent, agressive race that is 14 billion years old. They are residents of [[Omicron Persei 8]] and possibly other planets in [[Omicron Persei System|that system]].<br />
<br />
== Culture ==<br />
The Omicronians are fans of [[20th century]] [[television]], particurlarly the programming of the [[Fox Network (in-universe)|FOX Network]]. They watch these programs "live" in the year [[3000]], since radio waves from [[Earth]] take one thousand years to reach [[Omicron Persei 8]] {{et|1ACV12}}. Their technology is more advanced than that of the human race, as evidenced by their [[Omicronian Saucers|battle ships]], and they know the secret of immortality (1ACV12). The Omicronian war machine is one of the chief threats to the [[Democratic Order of Planets|DOOP]], and the Omicronians have been known to react disproportionately to even the slightest disturbance or irritation. They [[First Omicronian Invasion of Earth|first invaded Earth]] when [[Philip J. Fry|Fry]] accidentally knocked FOX off air resulting in the Omicronians being unable to watch the finale of [[Single Female Lawyer]]. Since then, there have been two further invasions of Earth: the [[Second Omicronian Invasion of Earth|second invasion]] occurred when Humans began - originally unwittingly - eating [[Popplers|the Omicronian young]]; though the [[Third Omicronian Invasion of Earth|third invasion]] was actually a fake.<br />
<br />
== Biology ==<br />
[[File:Omicronian Larva.jpg|right|thumb|A larval Omicronian, a "[[poppler]]", in their conscious stage {{et|2ACV15}}.]]<br />
<br />
Omicronians stand around eight feet tall, and have reptilian characteristics. Their skin can have various colours, ranging from a greenish-yellow to dark brown. Their eyes are yellow with oval pupils. They eat in great quantities, and are not particularly picky eaters, having been known to swallow [[humans]] and [[orangutangs]] whole. Aside from their larger size and strength, their only super-human ability seems to be their capacity to swallow very large objects (such as people) in a similar manner to the [[Nibblonian]]s. However, the Omicronians' swallowing capacity is arguably inferior as the Nibblonians are much smaller.<br />
<br />
The males' horns, coloured white or brownish, would appear to act as their reproductive organs, and large horns signify a powerful male {{et|6ACV11}}. [[Lrrr]] being the only Omicronian seen with dark horns might suggest that dark horns represent royalty, but it is not known if this is biological or cultural (Lrrr's horns could have been darkened artificially).<br />
<br />
Omicronians can apparently experience the effects of narcotics in the same way as humans, as evidenced when Lrrr eats [[Free Waterfall, Jr.|a hippie]] and undergoes a psychedelic trip {{et|2ACV15}}.<br />
<br />
=== Reproduction ===<br />
<br />
Omicronians begin their lives in an immature, larval state, which are placed in large pits by the billions on nursery planets. In this state, they resemble fried shrimp and are reportedly delicious: they became extremely popular when sold under the brand name ''[[Popplers]]'', distributed by the fast food franchise [[Fishy Joe's]] {{et|2ACV15}}. As they mature they exhibit a rapid development of sentience: it would appear that young Omicronians instinctively know how to speak once they have reached a certain stage. It seems unlikely that the parents are actively involved in their upbringing, but this is only speculation; there is however evidence to suggest the younger generation consumes the previous one: a [[Jrrr|young Omicronian]] informs [[Turanga Leela|Leela]], "When my species grows up, we eat our mums". <br />
<br />
The act of reproduction for this species may be hazardous to any life-forms within a "safe, 500 meter radius" {{et|4ACV17}}, and the female's organs must first move into position before commencing intercourse {{et|6ACV11}}.<br />

<br />
== Characters ==<br />
*[[Lrrr]], Ruler of Omicron Persei 8<br />
*[[Ndnd]], wife of Lrrr<br />
*[[Jrrr]], a baby poppler that Leela saved from being eaten.<br />
*[[Lrrr's father]]<br />
*[[Omicronian doctor]]<br />
<br />
== Additional Info ==<br />
=== Trivia ===<br />
*Aside from [[President Fxjkhr]], their names are the only words in ''[[Futurama]]'' to be spelled with no vowels.<br />
*Some Omicronians share the wide-spread belief among [[Alien]] races that [[Human Horn]] is a strong aphrodisiac {{et|4ACV17}}.<br />
*Their relationship with the [[Democratic Order of Planets|DOOP]] may be based on that of the Federation and the Klingon Empire in ''[[Star Trek]]'' (prior to the Klingons' alliance with the Federation).<br />

'''Inuit #1''': No. Perhaps if we were to cook and eat her slightly... <br />
<br />
'''Fry-2''': Leave her alone. She just needs me to cheer her up. Wanna sword fight, girl? <br />
<br />
:''[Leelu moans a no, then looks towards the sea, at an orange male narwhal doing flips and spins]''<br />

'''Fry''': What happened, Santa? <br />
<br />
'''Santa''': Can you imagine the harm they could do with that information? I wanted to do that harm! <br />
<br />
'''Leela''': That's it. They've gone too far. It's time to fight back. <br />
<br />
'''Santa''': Now, let's not resort to violence, Leela. <br />

'''Leela''': So that's our proposal napkin, Mr. President. We have just enough people and ships to mount a ragtag attack. <br />
<br />
'''Nixon''': You wish, missy. Dog-danged scammers used our money to build a fleet of remote-controlled, solid-gold Death Stars. <br />

'''Leela''': Troops, you are now equipped with the finest weapons magical elves can build. As for the battle plan... <br />
<br />
'''Nixon''': And now, to present the battle plan, Commander Zapp Brannigan! <br />
<br />
'''Leela''': What? <br />
<br />
'''[[Zapp]]''': At ease, people. I was redecorating my undisclosed location when I received word of an heroic invasion. Kif, crouch down and shield my thighs from the cold, for God's sake. <br />
<br />
:''[Kif sighs and crouches down]''<br />
<br />
'''Zapp''': We fight this battle, not for ourselves, but for our children and our children's children. Which is why I'm forming a children's brigade. Will the following youths please step forward? Cubert Farnsworth. <br />
<br />
'''Cubert''': Here, sir! <br />
<br />
'''Farnsworth''': My boy. Oh, God, no! <br />
<br />
'''Zapp''': Dwight Slim. <br />
<br />
'''Dwight''': Here. <br />
<br />
'''Hermes''': You took his name? Oh, God, no! In several ways! <br />
<br />
:''[Scene: Nimbus bridge, Zapp is facing a view screen while the fleet approaches Earth]''<br />
<br />
'''Zapp''': Assuming the 15th pile of children buys us a few seconds, we will then execute maneuver 45. Followed by maneuver 44. <br />
<br />
'''[[Kif]]''': Forty-six. <br />
<br />
'''Zapp''': Oh, great. Now I have to start back at the beginning with maneuver two. <br />
<br />
'''Kif''': One. <br />
<br />
'''Lars''': Admiral, will we stop attacking at any point or is this one of those phony-baloney, feel-good wars like the war on drugs? <br />
<br />
'''Zapp''': What's your name, smart mouth? <br />
<br />
'''Lars''': Lars Fillmore. <br />
<br />
'''Zapp''': Ah, the lovely Leela's on-again, off-again paramour. Perhaps a suicide mission would knockthe insubordination out of you. <br />
<br />
'''Leela''': Yes, yes, yes. <br />
<br />
'''Kif''': We're approaching Earth, sir. <br />
<br />

<br />
'''Hermes''': Perhaps I can help! Professor, can you wire my head directly into the battle grid? <br />
<br />
'''Farnsworth''': I can wire anything directly into anything. I'm the professor! <br />
<br />
'''Hermes''': Then prepare to see a bureaucrat's brain in action. <br />
<br />

'''Hermes''': I did it! I saved Earth and won back my woman. Right, woman? <br />
<br />
'''LaBarbara''': Oh, Hermes, I've been such a fool. <br />
<br />
'''Slim''': You haven't seen the last of Barbados Slim! Now, goodbye forever. <br />

<br />
:''[Nudar pulls out the satchel containing the Spheroboom]''<br />
<br />
'''Farnsworth''': Farnsworth? That's me! My doomsday device! So it was the scammers! They sawed off my hand and stole the doomsday device. <br />
<br />
'''Bender''': lt wasn't them. lt was me, Bender. The master criminal! <br />
<br />
'''Nudar''': So what'll it be? - Unconditional surrender? <br />
<br />
'''Leela''': Never! <br />
<br />
'''Nudar''': Or totaI destruction? <br />
<br />
'''Leela''': Also never! <br />
<br />
'''Nudar''': You have 30 seconds. Make up your minds! <br />
<br />
'''Leela''': ''[Melodramatically]'' Nevvveeeeer! <br />
<br />
'''Bender''': People, I'm sorry. You've never before heard me say those words, or even the individual letters that make them up. But I am. And with a huge amount of modesty, I humbly beg your forgiveness. ''[Bender pulls out a satchel of the Spheroboom, opens it, and drops it in the Axillary Torpedo slot]''<br />

<br />
'''Fry''': All right! <br />

<br />
'''Fry''': Bender, how the Hulk did you end up with the doomsday device? <br />
<br />
:''[Bender chuckles]''<br />
<br />
'''Bender''': I was working the long con all along. While sawing off the professor's hand with an extremely dull saw, I had some time to think. So I asked myself, "Who could use a doomsday device more? The scammers or me, Bender?". After several minutes of sawing, I knew the answer. Me, Bender. So I retrieved the dummy satchel ... <br />
<br />
:''[Cut to: Bender catching the dummy satchel from before]''<br />
<br />
'''Bender''': (VO) ... and as soon as I was out of the scammers' control, I pulled the old switcheroo. <br />

<br />
:''[Scene: Bender stands on a podium and speaks to everyone. Happy 3008 banners are strung above people sitting at tables. Bender also appears on a giant viewscreen]''<br />

<br />
'''Nixon''': Bender the robot, I'm proud to present you Earth's highest award for swindling. The Dirty Double-Cross. <br />

'''Leela''': I can't help it. I was gonna be married. I was so happy. <br />
<br />
'''Fry''': Well, maybe you'll meet someone else someday. <br />

'''Leela''': No, you don't understand. Lars is the only man I'll ever love. I know it in my heart. <br />
<br />
'''Fry''': You remember when we first met? <br />
<br />
'''Leela''': Uh-huh. lt was right there in the cryogenic lab, eight years ago today. <br />

'''Fry''': Quite idiotic. But you don't need to be an idiot to see that you two belong together. And, Leela,I want what'll make you happy, not what'll make me happy. <br />
<br />
'''Lars''': I'm sorry, I really am, but Leela and I just can't be married. <br />

'''Leela''': Nudar! How did you survive the doom blast? <br />

'''Nudar''': My doom-proof platinum vest absorbed most of the radiation. In retrospect, I wish I'd been wearing doom-proof pants, but you know us nudists. Now give me the time code! <br />

'''Lars''': ''[On a screen]'' So I got a job at the Head Museum and waited for the wonderful day when Leela would arrive. Everything was perfect until Hermes exploded at our wedding. That's when I learned that, as a time paradox duplicate, I, too, was doomed. I couldn't put Leela through that. So I called it off. I'm sorry, Leela. <br />

'''Nibbler''': Right on! In order for any of this to make any sense at all, someone must make one final trip back in time to put the code on Fry's ass in the first place! <br />

<br />
"'''Proposition Infinity'''" is the ninety-second episode of ''[[Futurama]]'', the fourth of [[Season 6|the sixth production season]] and [[Broadcast season 7|the seventh broadcast season]]. It aired 8 July 2010 on [[Comedy Central]], and guest stars [[George Takei]] as himself. The episode was also nominated for the 2010 [[Annie Awards]]. After a break-up with [[Kif Kroker|Kif]], [[Amy Wong|Amy]] gets together with [[Bender Bending Rodríguez|Bender]] in a frowned upon [[robosexuality|robosexual]] relationship.<br />
<br />
== The Story ==<br />
=== Act I: "I'm not just some piece of tofu, Amy!" ===<br />
[[New New York]]'s walls are hit by a mysterious vandal, revealed to be [[Bender]]. Bender is caught vandalizing the back of [[URL]], a police officer, and swiftly arrested. Bender calls [[Dr. Amy Wong|Amy]], who has been fighting with [[Kif Kroker|Kif]] all night, to bail him out of jail. She agrees, then enters the police station with Kif to bail Bender out. While in line to get discharged, Amy is hit on by an inmate and flirts back with him. This shocks Kif, as the man is a criminal, and his reaction irritates Amy. Kif tells her she's attracted to "bad boys", which he is not. Amy disagrees, but then flirts with another inmate who actually threatens her life. Kif, still hurt by Amy's flirtations, tells Amy they're through.<br />
<br />
The break up severely upsets Amy and to make her feel better, [[Turanga Leela|Leela]], [[Philip J. Fry|Fry]], and Bender take her to [[Forbidden Planet Hollywood]]. Bender repeatedly tells her to shut up and makes fun of her all night. Amy tells him to back off, saying he should be afraid of what she did to the last person that told her to shut up: sexual intercourse. After this, Amy and Bender discover a mutual attraction for each other. They enter into a taboo [[robosexual]] relationship, so they keep quiet about it, even to friends. Their co-workers grow suspicious but think nothing of it.<br />
<br />
=== Act II: "Oh, the humanity! Also Bender!" ===<br />
On the [[Planet Tornadus]], the crew, collecting tornado wind for the Professor's entry for the County Fair, is shocked to learn that Bender and Amy are missing. They discover their clothes flying around in the tube with the tornado winds, so the Professor shuts off the machine, and when the winds die down, the crew is shocked to see Bender and Amy making love. Professor immediately disapproves, whereas the rest of the crew accepts Bender and Amy's relationship. Amy thanks them, as she knows she can't tell her family. However, this is exactly what Professor does; he calls [[Leo Wong|Leo]] and [[Inez Wong|Inez]], Amy's parents. He also calls the [[Reverend Lionel Preacherbot|Robot Pastor]] for Bender. While at her [[Wong Ranch|parent's Mars ranch]], Amy is saved by Fry, who poses as her new beau. Amy saves Bender from [[Camp Rectifier|the camp]] the Robot Pastor sent him to. They go back to the Planet Express building, where Bender proposes to Amy.<br />
<br />
=== Act III: "I'm just glad I didn't live to see this day" ===<br />
The Professor reminds them that robosexual marriage is illegal in New New York. To fight against this, Bender and Amy launch a campaign, [[Proposition ∞]], for the legalization of robosexual marriage. In days before the election, Prop. ∞ support slumps in the polls. Amy loses hope, but Bender says they'll win following his debate tonight against Professor Farnsworth. Bender gives a heartfelt speech and the audience applauds. The Professor follows with his rebuttal, beginning with a flashback. He was in love with a fellow scientist named Eunice, and, 43 years later, discovered her in bed with [[First Robot Capable of Qualifying for a Boat Loan]] (or a similar robot) . This doesn't impress the audience, who despise the Professor for hating robosexuals simply because his girlfriend slept with a robot. He then admits that she WAS a robot, named [[Unit]], who slept with another robot. Farnsworth's heart was broken, so he took his anger out on other robosexuals. After admitting the truth, the Professor withdraws his argument and fully backs Prop. ∞. The next day, Prop. ∞ is approved. Amy is ecstatic, saying she and Bender can have a normal, monogamous marriage now. Upon hearing the word monogamous, Bender leaves Amy for two [[Hookerbots|robot hookers]], while Amy goes back to Kif, who became a bad boy for her.<br />
<br />

=== Trivia ===<br />
*This is one among few ''Futurama'' [[:Category:Media featuring its title|media featuring its title]].<br />
*[[Kif]] said that he is actually related to the sea cucumber. This makes many fans learn that he is not a toad or a jellyfish even though [[Amphibiosans|his species]] has no spine and is very squishy.<br />
*The closed captions had lines that were not spoken. Something to the effect of "Where am I? Is this TBS?" suggesting that [[Conan O'Brien's head|Conan O'Brien]] originally had a cameo.<br />
<br />
=== Continuity ===<br />
*[[Will Riker's Island]] was previously seen in "[[Three Hundred Big Boys]]" when [[Kif Kroker|Kif]] was imprisoned. In that episode, it was called ''Commander Riker's Island''.<br />
*The idea of [[robosexuality]] was first mentioned in "[[Space Pilot 3000]]". It was later said to be wrong in "[[I Dated a Robot]]" and illegal in this episode.<br />
**No mention is ever made of robosexuality itself being criminal, only that robosexual marriage is not permitted.<br />
*The interracial couple from "Space Pilot 3000" is seen again.<br />
*[[Fatbot]] is revealed to be robosexual.<br />
*In the audience for the debate for [[Proposition ∞]] include Fatbot, and a [[Hookerbots|hookerbot]] first seen in "[[The Lesser of Two Evils]]".<br />
*While at [[Forbidden Planet Hollywood]], [[Amy]] says, "technically, we were Fonfon Rus, so we weren't really married." This is referencing the event when Kif and Amy married in ''[[The Beast with a Billion Backs]]''.<br />
**In The Beast with a Billion Backs, Amy refered to herself as Kif's wife, but now distinguishes Fonfon Ru from being a spouse.<br />
*[[Michelle]] and [[Pauly Shore (character)|Pauly Shore]] can be seen at the Proposition ∞ rally. Their marriage was confirmed by [[Commentary:Proposition Infinity|the audio commentary]].<br />

<br />
=== Goofs ===<br />
*[[Bender Bending Rodríguez|Bender]] apparently stole Lassie's head in the [[Forbidden Planet Hollywood]]. However it was already said in "[[Jurassic Bark]]" that Lassie was in the Louvre.<br />
**Several dogs have played Lassie over the years, though.<br />
**And she could have been moved from the Louvre since.<br />
**Or if Bender took it in the Louvre instead.<br />
*Most of the [[Planet Express crew|crew]]'s opinions on [[robosexuality]] are different from previous episodes, such as "[[I Dated a Robot]]".<br />
**As the story takes place several years after "I Dated a Robot", the crew may have simply changed their minds on the subject.<br />
**Also it could be related to the fact that the robots shown to be robosexual, are all actual robots, not built for the purpose of dating a particular human nor are their personalities and looks based off of a human. <br />
**A general aversion to humans developing emotional attachments to robots was shown in "I Dated a Robot", but in neither episode does anyone say robosexuality itself is illegal, only robosexual marriage (much as homosexuality is legal today, while homosexual marriage is not).<br />
*In "[[Slaves of New New York!]]", the [[Hydroponic Farmer]] forced [[The Simpsons|Gil]] to marry [[the Crushinator]]. However, the [[Crossover Crisis]] is non-[[canon]].<br />
*Bender doesn't launch into folk singing when [[Reverend Lionel Preacherbot]] drags him out of the [[Planet Express headquarters|Planet Express HQ]] with a magnet.<br />
**The magnet wasn't near his inhibition unit. If the magnet isn't near the head, it doesn't cause him to sing.<br />
*In "[[The Devil's Hands Are Idle Playthings]]", the [[Robot Devil]] wanted Leela to marry him, even though robosexual marriage is revealed to be illegal in this episode.<br />
**He's the Robot Devil, so he can do what he wants.<br />
**Also, [[Robot Hell]] is in [[New Jersey]], where robosexual marriage may be legal.<br />
***Neither point explains why the Preacherbot, using the power granted by the state, was going to perform a robosexual marriage in New New York.<br />
***Robosexual marriage was illegal throughout all of Earth, so the point about New Jersey does not apply.<br />
*When [[Morbo]] talks about Bender's tile graffiti, he says it is happening in "our city" but it has been established in "[[A Big Piece of Garbage]]" that [[Channel √2 News|√2 News]] is based in [[Los Angeles]].<br />
**Considering the large amount of time that has passed, it is possible that √2 News has moved. More news seems to develop in New New York, so it would be advantageous for the news station to be based there.<br />
*In this episode, a criminal stole a police lightsaber and held it up to Amy's neck as if it was a knife (or a Star Wars lightsaber). However, in Futurama, police lightsabers are used as batons, so there was no point in holding up a baton to someone's neck.<br />
**The criminal may not of known how the lightsabers worked.<br />
*Amy states that since she and Kif were Fonfon Rus, they weren't actually married. However, in ''[[The Beast with a Billion Backs]]'', she refers to Kif as her husband, and Zapp later refers to her as Kif's wife.<br />

=== Goofs ===<br />
*[[Bender Bending Rodríguez|Bender]] apparently stole Lassie's head in the [[Forbidden Planet Hollywood]]. However it was already said in "[[Jurassic Bark]]" that Lassie was in the Louvre.<br />
**Several dogs have played Lassie over the years, though.<br />
**And she could have been moved from the Louvre since.<br />
*Most of the [[Planet Express crew|crew]]'s opinions on [[robosexuality]] are different from previous episodes, such as "[[I Dated a Robot]]".<br />
**As the story takes place several years after "I Dated a Robot", the crew may have simply changed their minds on the subject.<br />
**Also it could be related to the fact that the robots shown to be robosexual, are all actual robots, not built for the purpose of dating a particular human nor are their personalities and looks based off of a human. <br />
**A general aversion to humans developing emotional attachments to robots was shown in "I Dated a Robot", but in neither episode does anyone say robosexuality itself is illegal, only robosexual marriage (much as homosexuality is legal today, while homosexual marriage is not).<br />
*In "[[Slaves of New New York!]]", the [[Hydroponic Farmer]] forced [[The Simpsons|Gil]] to marry [[the Crushinator]]. However, the [[Crossover Crisis]] is non-[[canon]].<br />
*Bender doesn't launch into folk singing when [[Reverend Lionel Preacherbot]] drags him out of the [[Planet Express headquarters|Planet Express HQ]] with a magnet.<br />
**The magnet wasn't near his inhibition unit. If the magnet isn't near the head, it doesn't cause him to sing.<br />
*In "[[The Devil's Hands Are Idle Playthings]]", the [[Robot Devil]] wanted Leela to marry him, even though robosexual marriage is revealed to be illegal in this episode.<br />
**He's the Robot Devil, so he can do what he wants.<br />
**Also, [[Robot Hell]] is in [[New Jersey]], where robosexual marriage may be legal.<br />
***Neither point explains why the Preacherbot, using the power granted by the state, was going to perform a robosexual marriage in New New York.<br />
***Robosexual marriage was illegal throughout all of Earth, so the point about New Jersey does not apply.<br />
*When [[Morbo]] talks about Bender's tile graffiti, he says it is happening in "our city" but it has been established in "[[A Big Piece of Garbage]]" that [[Channel √2 News|√2 News]] is based in [[Los Angeles]].<br />
**Considering the large amount of time that has passed, it is possible that √2 News has moved. More news seems to develop in New New York, so it would be advantageous for the news station to be based there.<br />
*In this episode, a criminal stole a police lightsaber and held it up to Amy's neck as if it was a knife (or a Star Wars lightsaber). However, in Futurama, police lightsabers are used as batons, so there was no point in holding up a baton to someone's neck.<br />
**The criminal may not of known how the lightsabers worked.<br />
*Amy states that since she and Kif were Fonfon Rus, they weren't actually married. However, in ''[[The Beast with a Billion Backs]]'', she refers to Kif as her husband, and Zapp later refers to her as Kif's wife.<br />

''[Farnsworth handes Eunice some posies and she drips poison on them. They wilt. The Professor and Eunice kiss.]'' I thought our love would last forever. But then, 43 years later, she left me ''[Eunice is in bed with a robot.]'' for a robot! ''[End flashback]'' How could she do that to me, her Farnypoo?</poem><br />
<br />

'''Amy Wong''', '''Ph.D.''', is a human from [[Mars]] who is of Chinese descent, sole heir to half the planet, and a Doctor of Applied Physics. She is a primary character and is known as a klutz and socialite.<br />
<br />
== Personality ==<br />
<br />
Amy is friendly and easily gets along with others but she is also a bit of a klutz. She has attracted a fair few men in her time, most notably [[Kif Kroker]] who is her [[fonfon ru]]. However Amy also appears to have some level of vanity and is concerned about her appearance. She is engaged in a constant low-intensity feud with [[Turanga Leela]], the only other female at Planet Express, and often accuses her of not being ladylike enough to be a true woman. However they are friends nevertheless. Despite being an extremely intelligent young woman, Amy can be absent-minded. A notable example being removing [[Dr. Zoidberg|Dr. Zoidberg's]] restraints no less than eight times, despite injuries she endured each time. Amy also has little concept of money, having offered to pay more for a [[Beta Romeo|hovercar]] than it's worth and needing to be reminded by Bender that $10,000 is more than $5000.<br />
<br />
== Biography ==<br />
[[File:Amy - Junior Champion.png|right|thumb|Mini-golf junior champion]]<br />
<br />
=== Early Life ===<br />
Amy Wong was raised by her parents, [[Leo and Inez Wong|Leo and Inez]], on [[Wong Ranch]], a farm that covers the entire western hemisphere of Mars. During her teenage years she had a weight problem, but enjoyed the perks that come from having rich parents such as having multiple ponies and a pet [[Betsy|buggalo]]. In her spare time Amy took up miniature golf in a failed attempt to impress her father, becoming a champion in tournaments.<br />
<br />
=== Mars University and an Internship ===<br />
Joining [[Mars University (Place)|Mars University]]'s student body, thanks to a donation from her parents, Amy began an engineering degree and joined the family sorority, Kappa Kappa Wong. In [[2998]], while studying at MU she took an internship at [[Planet Express]], a company owned by [[Professor Hubert J. Farnsworth|Professor Farnsworth]], one of her teachers. While the job involves engineering work, Amy would occasionally join the delivery crew on the [[Planet Express Ship|ship]], learning how to fly it and control the winch in order [[The Series Has Landed|to save]] the current crew.<br />
<br />
=== A chance meeting ===<br />
On [[A Flight to Remember|a company vacation]] aboard the [[Titanic]] Amy claimed to have a boyfriend. Fortunately for her, this ruse ended shortly before evacuating, and her parents finally set her up with someone she liked; the ship's new captain [[Kif Kroker]]. After being dropped off back at Planet Express by her [[Amphibiosans|Amphibiosan]] love interest, he became too nervous to talk to her and instead began calling and hanging up, which he did for an entire year. They also managed to avoid seeing each other during his brief stint as the company's ship's First Mate. Amy moved on and resumed dating other men, including [[Put Your Head on My Shoulder|a short term romance]] with [[Philip J. Fry|Fry]], which ended with his head surgically attached to her body. Fortunately, his body was soon repaired and the head was put back in place.<br />
<br />
Eventually, after one of Kif's failed phone calls, [[Zapp Brannigan|Zapp]] used the couple for a chance to get close to [[Turanga Leela|Leela]]. Zapp crashed and burned, taking the restaurant-ship with him, but [[Kif-Amy relationship|Kif and Amy's relationship]] managed to begin anew. Despite having introduced them, Amy's parents did not approve of Kif when she brought him home for [[Mars Day]] and although he later saved her life when she was kidnapped by the [[Native Martians]], they didn't believe it.<br />
<br />
=== Long distance relationship ===<br />
Due to Kif's [[DOOP|career]], the couple were forced to maintain the relationship long distance. Amy spent this time at work, [[Bendin' in the Wind|following a band on tour]] and becoming an honourary [[Globetrotters|Globetrotter]] but eventually decided to sneak on board the Planet Express ship and steal it while the crew was sleeping. This rendezvous led to Kif's impregnation, which almost split the couple up, but once it became clear that they would remain in a swamp for twenty years to develop into children, she came around. Not too long after this she [[Teenage Mutant Leela's Hurdles|became a child again]] herself due to an accident at a health spa, and may have come out of the experience slightly younger than where she started. They continued to date, [[Three Hundred Big Boys|spending the day on a paddle plane]] or spending the night at a reception for the silk surplus.<br />
<br />
=== Fonfon Rubok ===<br />
[[File:Fonfon Rubok.png|right|thumb|Amy's and Kif's Fonfon Rubok]]<br />
In the following years Amy had grown her hair long until it was burned down to the previous length by [[Bender]]. Soon after became one of many victims of [[Scammer Aliens|scammers]] who took control of the whole of planet [[Earth]]. After the planet was reclaimed, Amy and Kif had a [[coinage#F|Fonfon Rubok]] the marriage fell apart soon after, when Kif was killed by Zapp's incompetence. He was brought back, but after learning that she and Zapp had spent a night together, he left her.<br />
<br />
=== The golfing feminist ===<br />
Having long sought the approval of her father, she initially defended him against Leela for his views on women but eventually couldn't take the criticism, joining the [[Feministas]] to get back at him. The group's history leads to their arrest, but they are broken out by Bender and after Leo's plan is foiled, she is reunited with Kif as they and her co-workers escape from Zapp down a wormhole.<br />
<br />
=== Proposition Infinity ===<br />
After crashing the ship into Earth and being [[Rebirth|rebirthed]], Amy has a long fight with Kif that leads to their break-up when he cannot stand her flirting with bad boys. Supporting this theory, Amy starts a [[robosexuality|robosexual]] relationship with [[Bender Bending Rodriguez|Bender]], and they decide to marry and votes to [[Proposition Infinity|legalize robosexual marriage]]. However Bender leaves her upon realising she wants a monogamous wedding, and she returns to Kif, who now has turned a bad boy for her.<br />
<br />
=== Doctor of Applied Physics ===<br />
[[File:Dr. Amy Wong.jpg|right|thumb|Amy's graduation from Mars University]]<br />
In 3010, having worked as an intern for twelve years, Amy presented her thesis to the Professors at [[Mars University (place)|Mars University]]. She fails to get her doctorate the first time, but it is revealed that [[Professor Morris Katz]], one of the Professors that failed her, was actually an alien cat who then stole the [[Earth]]'s rotational energy using the very device Amy had just designed and been failed for. Amy used her skills as a scientist to solve the problem by causing the Earth to rotate in the opposite direction and earn her PhD in applied physics. Despite this achievement, however, she stays at [[Planet Express]] after [[Professor Fisherprice Shpeekenshpell]] describes the job market as "rough".<br />
<br />
== Family ==<br />
*[[Leo and Inez Wong]] - parents<br />
*[[Sir Reginald Wong]], Leo's paternal ancestor who bought [[Mars]] from its natives with a [[Giant Diamond|bead]]<br />
*Hundreds of Kif's unnamed children (adoptive; Leela is the mother)<br />
*[[Kif Kroker]] - [[coinage#F|Fonfon Ru]], or husband (''see [[Kif-Amy relationship]] for more info'')<br />
**Kif's entire [[Kif Kroker#Family|family]] through [[coinage#F|Fonfon Rubok]]<br />
<br />
== Additional Info ==<br />
=== Trivia ===<br />
[[File:Amy promo.png|right|thumb|Amy Wong]]<br />
*Amy is a notorious klutz. She loses things, is the victim/cause of many accidents, and frequently falls over or trips on things.<br />
*Before she met Kif, Amy had many boyfriends and often made Leela jealous or angry of her looks.<br />
*At Mars U., Amy was a member of the sorority Kappa Kappa Wong and was an engineering student of [[Professor Hubert J. Farnsworth|Professor Farnsworth]].<br />
*On two occasions, she has had a relationship with [[Fry]]. (''see [[Fry-Amy relationship]] for more info'')<br />
*Despite being socially aware and 'bubbly', she is a bit of a ditz and suffers from her own naivete (physically and socially) in many episodes.<br />
*Amy speaks Yeti.<br />
*Like [[Amy's parents|her parents]], when she gets mad or frustrated, she starts speaking {{w|Cantonese}}, a Chinese dialect; however, Lauren Tom has made mistakes and {{w|Mandarin}} occasionally slips in ([[The Series Has Landed|1ACV02]], [[A Fishful of Dollars|1ACV06]], [[The Deep South|2ACV12]], [[Amazon Women in the Mood|3ACV01]],<br />
<br />
=== Catchphrase ===<br />
Amy doesn't have a specific catchphrase, but frequently spouts futuristic slang in place of common modern colloqiualisms, the most common being one that replaces "Duh!".<br />
Variations include:<br />
*Guh! ([[The Series Has Landed|1ACV02]]), ([[Love's Labours Lost in Space|1ACV04]]), ([[A Fishful of Dollars|1ACV06]])<br />
*Buh! ([[Love's Labours Lost in Space|1ACV04]]), ([[A Clone of My Own|2ACV10]])<br />
*Fluh! {{et|2ACV04}}<br />
*Spluh! ([[Put Your Head on My Shoulder|2ACV07]]), ([[The Farnsworth Parabox|4ACV15]]), ([[Bender's Big Score Part 1|5ACV01]])<br />
*Abraca-Duh! {{et|3ACV18}}<br />
*Guh-oh. {{et|6ACV04}}<br />
*Shmich! {{et|4ACV16}}<br />
*What the shmell happened? ([[A Clockwork Origin|6ACV09]], [[Lrrreconcilable Ndndifferences|6ACV11]])<br />
<br />
In the same vein, Amy also routinely utters variations on the word "Sheesh!", for example, "Spleesh!" Being the only young, hip character on the show, this constantly shifting slang is obviously a nod to the constantly changing "cool things to say" that pop culture tosses around and then tosses aside over time.<br />
<br />
Also, whenever she falls or slips, she screams and the same soundbite is used each time. The sound of something breaking usually follows.<br />
She also frequently comments on Leela's looks or hygiene in a very tactless, catty and often insulting way.<br />

'''Hattie McDoogal''' is an elderly woman who owns one share of "[[Planet Express|Planet Ka-jigger]]". She's the landlady of the building that [[Philip J. Fry|Fry]] and [[Bender Bending Rodriguez|Bender]] lived in briefly as well as the late colleague of [[Professor Hubert J. Farnsworth|Professor Farnsworth]], [[Dr. Mbutu]]. She has a lazy eye and two deceased husbands. She loves her pet cats, one of which she keeps in her purse, as we see in "[[Future Stock]]". Even though she owns just one share in [[Planet Express]], she was once the tiebreaker in a CEO election between Farnsworth and [[Steve Castle]].<br />
<br />
Her memory is fairly poor, and she tends to replace words she doesn't remember with such nonsense words as "whatchacallit" and "kajigger".<br />

<br />
"'''Lrrreconcilable Ndndifferences'''" is the ninety-ninth episode of ''[[Futurama]]'', the eleventh of the [[Season 6|sixth production season]] and the [[Broadcast season 7|seventh broadcast season]]. It aired 26 August, 2010 on [[Comedy Central]], and guest starred [[Katee Sackhoff]], [[Sergio Aragonés]] and ''Futurama'' creators [[Matt Groening]] and [[David X. Cohen]]. After a bungled [[Earth]] invasion, [[Omicronians|Omicronian]] leader [[Lrrr]] faces a mid-life crisis.<br />
<br />
== The Story ==<br />
=== Act I: "I am Lrrr, ruler of the planet Omicron Persei 8!" ===<br />
Stopping her husband watching ''[[The Scary Door]]'', [[Ndnd]] becomes fed up with [[Lrrr|Lrrr's]] lack of motivation to conquer other worlds. He reluctantly invades [[Earth]]. However, he arrives during [[Comic-Con Intergalactic|Comic-Con 3010]] and is mistaken for a costume contest participant and leaves dejected. Concurrently, [[Fry]] attempts to author [[Delivery-Boy Man (in-universe comic)|a superhero comic book]] featuring himself as the superhero saving a captured [[Leela]] from [[Invader X|a malevolent alien]]. The crew is unimpressed with the comic, with the exception of the back page of novelty toy ads for x-ray specs, sea monkeys, and [[Farnsworth Novelty Disintegrator Ray|the Professor's disintegration guns]], which are actually only teleportation guns. Leela also criticizes the comic, leaving Fry to figure out how to make the story more compelling.<br />
Back on [[Omicron Persei 8]], Ndnd learns of Lrrr's failure and kicks him out of their home. Lrrr returns to Earth, seeking shelter at the [[Planet Express headquarters]].<br />
<br />
=== Act II: "I'll do it for free." ===<br />
The crew diagnoses Lrrr and his marriage problems as symptomatic of a mid-life crisis. Leela encourages Lrrr to recommit himself to his marriage with Ndnd, but he listens instead to [[Bender]] and gets horn extensions, flashy new clothes, and goes out to a club to meet new women. There he meets an attractive female [[Omicronians|Omicronian]] named [[Grrrl]]. While on a date with her, she reveals that she is actually a [[Humans|human]] woman from the Comic-Con wearing an Omicronian costume. Though she is very attracted to real Omicronians, Lrrr rejects her and seeks Leela's advice on how to win back Ndnd.<br />
Leela and the crew help Lrrr stage an invasion of Earth using a fake broadcast with the help of [[Orson Welles' head]] à la the 1938 ''{{w|War of Worlds}}'' radio broadcast. Ndnd is fooled, but so is [[Zapp Brannigan]] and the Earthican army, who immediately surrender Earth to Lrrr.<br />
<br />
=== Act III: "She is not the boss of you. I am the boss of you!" ===<br />
Leela scolds Lrrr, demanding that he end the charade and tell Ndnd the truth, but he hesitates due to Ndnd's renewed romantic interest and forces the [[Earthicans|citizens of Earth]] into slavery. During this time, Leela constantly nags Lrrr about telling Ndnd the truth, which causes Ndnd to become suspicious about their relationship. She confronts Lrrr, demanding to know if he is having an affair. Grrrl reappears, announcing that she loves Lrrr and will fight for him, brandishing a disintegration ray. Ndnd quickly takes the weapon and shoots Grrrl, causing her body to disappear. Ndnd reveals that she is not upset that Lrrr may have been minutely romantically involved with Grrrl, but that Lrrr allowed Leela to nag him, which Ndnd feels is her role and right as his wife. She invokes an Omicronian rite called [[Rrrmrrrmrrrfrrrmrrr or Consequences]] where Lrrr is reluctantly forced to prove his love for Ndnd by shooting Leela, whom he values as a friend, with the Farnsworth Novelty Disintegrator Ray.<br />
As he fires, Fry leaps in front of Leela, sacrificing his life. Ndnd is moved by Lrrr's demonstration of love and the two happily depart back to Omicron Persei 8. Leela is devastated by Fry's sacrifice. However, as the Omicronians depart, Grrrl reappears, shocking the crew. She reveals that the disintegration gun is merely one of the Professor's novelty teleportation guns that she purchased from an ad in the back of a comic book. She then begins to hit on Zoidberg who responds by saying of course he'll marry her. Realizing that Fry is alive, the crew find him back at [[Planet Express]], putting the finishing touches on his comic. Inspired by his own heroic actions, his super hero counterpart attempts to rescue Leela from the malevolent alien by leaping in front of its ray gun. Leela is pleased with the new ending and commends the comic book, giving Fry a kiss on the cheek.<br />
<br />
== Reception ==<br />
In its original American broadcast, "Lrrreconcilable Ndndifferences" was viewed by an estimated 1.981 million households, a bounce of 200,000 viewers since "[[The Prisoner of Benda]]" <ref>[http://tvbythenumbers.com/2010/08/27/more-cable-ratings-jersey-shore-burn-notice-royal-pains-still-on-top-futurama-rises-more/61303]</ref>.<br />

[[file:Well heads.png|thumb|left|[[Orson Welles' head]] in the [[Head Museum]], near ''[[Futurama]]'' voice actor [[Frank Welker]].]]<br />
<br />
=== Trivia ===<br />
*Once again, [[Maurice LaMarche]] reprises his Orson Welles impression and his parody of Welles' infamous "Frozen Peas" recording session, having previously reprised this impression for such diverse projects as the Brain in ''Pinky and the Brain'' and Welles himself in the film ''Ed Wood'' (although the physical incarnation of Welles was played by Vincent D'Onofrio) and the TV shows ''The Critic'', and ''The Simpsons''.<br />
*An actual "[[Delivery-Boy Man]]" comic, based on the events of this episode, was released as a promotional item at Comic Con 2010 a month prior to its airing.<br />
*This is the second time that Fry jumps in the way of peril to save Leela.<br />
*The heads of [[Frank Welker]] and {{w|H. G. Wells}} among others can be seen beside [[Orson Welles' head]]. <br />
**Maybe they are "stored" in alphabetical order.<br />
*This is the fourth time we see Matt Groening's head, the previous times being in "[[Space Pilot 3000]]", ''[[Bender's Big Score]]'' and ''[[Into the Wild Green Yonder]]''.<br />
<br />
=== Allusions ===<br />
<br />
*'{{w|Peace With Honor}}' was a phrase [[Richard Nixon's head|Nixon]] used to explain the US withdrawal from Vietnam near the end of the Vietnam War.<br />
*[[Lrrr]] watches an episode of "[[The Scary Door]]" which is a reference to "The Twilight Zone"<br />
*There is a "War Of The Worlds" reference that includes Orson Welles recreating his 1938 radio broadcast based on H. G. Wells' book of the same title.<br />
*During the fake broadcast of an invasion, Orson Welles says, "We interrupt our program of the Jonas Brothers and their Orchestra...". A reference to the pop band, The Jonas Brothers and to ''Ramon Raquello and His Orchestra'', which was 'interrupted' in the original "War Of The Worlds" radio broadcast.<br />
*[[Lrrr]] brings back the face of [[J.J. Abrams]], a famous movie director as well as the creator of "{{w|Lost}}".<br />
*Bender's phrase "Dork calling Orson" when Fry is calling Orson Wells is a reference to the 1978-1982 Robin Williams sitcom {{w|Mork & Mindy}}.<br />
*The location of the Omicronian ancient ritual is White Planes, NNY: a reference to the city White Plains, NY.<br />
*The [[Farnsworth Novelty Disintegrator Ray]] that is really a Teleporter Ray is an allusion to the ''{{w|Doctor Who}}'' episode "{{w|Bad Wolf}}". <br />
<br />
[[file:Costume contest.png|thumb|220px|right|The Comic-Con sequence, for example this costume contest scene, is filled with references.]]<br />
<br />
==== Comic Con ====<br />
The Comic Con section especially is filled with allusions and references:<br />
<br />
*Matt Groening's and David X. Cohen's heads' new show, "Futurella", is a self-parody of itself, down to the same opening sequence and the fact that it was cancelled before its time.<br />
**The people on the panel are the Futurama crew members that were on the 2010 Comic Con panel and [[Bill Morrison Robot|the panel's moderator]] is based on [[Bill Morrison]], who is their usual moderator.<br />
*Several cosplayers are references to popular movies, television series, Futurama characters and more:<br />
**{{w|Mario}} from {{w|Mario Bros.}} ([[Randy Munchnik|Randy]])<br />
**[[Mom]], [[Walt]], [[Larry]] and [[Igner]]<br />
**The [[Robot Devil]] ([[Dr. Ben Beeler]])<br />

*The "Toy-minator" seen at 3010 Comic-Con is a reference to "The Terminator" franchise and the stars beside the name is a reference to the "G.I. Joe" toy franchise.<br />
*The Zapp Brannigan action figures are modelled in the same pose as the actual [[Toynami]] figure, and the box is also of a similar design. His line refers to an outtake from the animated Star Trek series, where Shatner is asked to say the word "sabotage" differently, and tells the director "Don't tell me how to do it, it sickens me".<br />
* At Comic-Con, between “Videogame – The Movie” and “Movie – The Videogame”, a racer very similar to the racers in ''{{w|Tron}}'', the 1982 film turned video game, can be seen.<br />
*Leela makes a reference to [[Joss Whedon]], a Comic-Con fixture who is the creator of such projects as ''{{w|Buffy the Vampire Slayer}}'', ''{{w|Firefly}}'', ''{{w|Serenity}}'', ''{{w|Dollhouse}}'', and ''{{w|Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog}}''.<br />
*When [[Matt Groening's head]] shoots [[Bender]] after he asks when a second ''[[the Simpsons|Simpsons]]'' movie will be made, Bender can be heard shouting, "D'OH!", which is, of course, {{w|Homer Simpson}}'s catchphrase.<br />
<br />
=== Continuity ===<br />
*[[Lrrr]] watches an episode of "[[The Scary Door]]", previously seen in many episodes, most recently "''[[Bender's Game]]''".<br />
*[[Lrrr]]'s and [[Ndnd]]'s relationship problems were previously established in "[[Spanish Fry]]".<br />
*At Comic-Con 3010, [[Lrrr]] states that he recognizes Leela from somewhere; in response, Leela says that she was in his mouth at one time. A reference to the event in "[[The Problem with Popplers]]".<br />
*At the Comic-Con costume contest, the contestants are wearing costumes of characters seen in previous episodes/DVD movies of Futurama:<br />
**There are people dressed up as [[Mom]] and her three sons.<br />
**Grrl is dressed up as [[Edna]], Zoidberg's love, from "[[Why Must I Be A Crustacean In Love]]".<br />
**There's someone dressed up as [[Yivo]] from "''[[The Beast with a Billion Backs]]''".<br />
**There's someone dressed up as the [[Robot Devil]].<br />
**There are [[Dwight Conrad|Dwight]] along his [[Chinese Boy|chinese]] and [[Indian Boy|indian]] friend dressed up as members of the [[brain spawn]] last seen in "[[The Why of Fry]]".<br />
*The cross-species dresser uses the word [[Popplers]] in this episode, which has not been heard since its premier in "[[The Problem with Popplers]]".<br />
*The army, led by Zapp Brannigan before surrendering to Lrrr, are wearing the same army uniforms seen since "[[War Is the H-Word]]".<br />
*[[Bender]] uses his left eye as a broadcasting camera once again, which he used previously in "[[When Aliens Attack]]".<br />
*[[Professor Farnsworth]] uses his Fing-longer to wake up [[Lrrr]]; the Fing-longer was introduced in "[[Anthology of Interest I]]" and has been seen most recently in "[[The Duh-Vinci Code]]".<br />
*As a continuation of a running gag established in "[[When Aliens Attack]]", Lrrr once again has trouble speaking into a microphone.<br />
*The “Spaceship in a bottle” on display at the Comic-Con is not unlike Professor Farnsworth's [[Scale model of the universe's largest bottle]] with a spaceship inside, as seen in "[[The 30% Iron Chef]]".<br />
*Lrrr buys his car from Malfunctioning Eddie's Rocket Car Emporium which was first seen in "[[Put Your Head on My Shoulder]]".<br />
*The [[Australian Man]] has once again been enslaved, after being enslaved in the episodes "[[How Hermes Requisitioned His Groove Back]]" and "[[A Pharaoh to Remember]]".<br />
*Ndnd watches the live "Earth Invasion" broadcast in real time, despite Omicron Persei 8 being 1000 light years away from Earth. This delay in signal reception was an integral plot point in the episode "[[When Aliens Attack]]", when Lrrr travels to Earth demanding resolution to the unfinished episode of "Single Female Lawyer", that had aired on Earth 1000 years prior. It was established, however, in "[[A Clone of My Own]]" and the [[episode Commentary Listing|episodes' commentaries]], that more recent broadcasts travel at the ''new'', faster, speed of light.<br />

<br />
*When Lrrr and Bender go to [[The Hip Joint]], [[Grrrl]] asks "Hey, cool cape, wheredja get that?" and Lrrr responds "What, this old thing? I murdered my father." However, Lrrr's cape is extremely similar, if not identical, to the one he has worn throughout the series.<br />
**He may have actually killed [[Lrrr's father|his father]], who was last seen in "''[[Into the Wild Green Yonder]]''", and acquired an identical cape accordingly.<br />
**His claim might have been an outright lie, as an attempt to impress Grrl.<br />
*When they are broadcasting live, they are in the Planet Express building and then suddenly by [[the White House]].<br />
*No one should be dressed like the [[Brain Spawn]] because no one (except Fry) was able to remember that the brains tried to conquer and destroy Earth.<br />
**The fact no one remembers that the Earth was attacked by Brain Spawns doesn't mean that people are completely unaware of their existence.<br />
*When Leela tries to persuade Lrrr to avoid another War of the Worlds, just before Fry calls Orson Welles, Lrrr's horns are the same colour as the rest of his skin.<br />
*When Lrrr shoots the robot in the clothing store: <br />
**His "LRRR" necklace is legible in the mirror, when it should be reversed;<br />
**His reflection puts away its gun before he does.<br />

Emperor '''Bont the Viscous''' was the last known ruler of the planet [[Trisol]]. Whilst innocently resting in the Royal Bottle, Bont was accidentally drunk by a thirsty [[Philip J. Fry|Fry]]. The [[Trisolians]] thinking Bont was dead made Fry the new emperor. When the three suns of Trisol set it became obvious Bont hade survived inside Fry. His people decided to free him using the Juice-O-Mat 3000 which would kill Fry in the process. The rest of the crew managed to make Fry cry out Bont and he became the first Trisolian Emperor to rule the planet twice.<br />
<br />
== Additional Info ==<br />
===Trivia=== <br />
*Bont the Viscous could be the only emperor to rule Trisol twice, Fry temporarily drank him and Fry took over (Because of Trisol's rules). Bont was eventually cried out and regained power<br />
*Although the average length of the reign in Trisol is one week, Bont is still emperor in 3009<br />

Gearshift laments they constitute "the lamest frat on campus" (adding that Hillel throws better parties), and begs [[Bender]], a legendary member of the fraternity, for help. He obliges, and despite their "dodeca-tuple secret probation," hijinks commence. First, they climb a ladder to spy on the [[Dorm Girls]]' computer (and fall, demolishing [[Snooty House]]'s servant quarters). A visit to the Dean's office does not go well. Finally, Bender enters them in the Big Fraternity Raft Regatta, helping them to an unlikely but delicious win; consequently [[Dean Vernon]] must grudgingly serve as Grand Marshall in a parade honoring Epsilon Rho Rho.<br />

"'''Put Your Head on My Shoulder'''" is the twentieth episode of ''[[Futurama]]'', the seventh of the [[Season 2|second production season]] and the tenth of the [[Broadcast season 2|second broadcast season]]. It aired 13 February, 2000 on FOX. After a romantic picnic trip between [[Amy Wong|Amy]] and [[Philip J. Fry|Fry]] (and [[Dr. Zoidberg]]) ends in tragedy, Fry's head is attached to Amy's shoulder.<br />
<br />
== The Story ==<br />
=== Act I: "You just assume I can't get a Valentine's Date?" ===<br />
[[Amy Wong|Amy]] decides to buy a new car, and [[Philip J. Fry|Fry]], [[Turanga Leela|Leela]] and [[Bender Bending Rodriguez|Bender]] go with her. In Bender's case, the visit is mandatory because he has to bring his ass in for servicing, as he has received a recall note with his name (Bender Unit 22) on it - there is the danger of his ass bursting into flame on a low-speed collision. At [[New New York#Malfunctioning Eddie's Rocket-Car Emporium|Malfunctioning Eddie's Rocket Car Emporium]], Amy quickly falls in love with the Beta Romeo, with a little help from [[Victor]], the car vendor, while Fry is sorely tempted by the Ford [[Thundercougerfalconbird]]. Bender is being serviced in the service department and has some shock-absorbing bumpers installed to reduce the risk of catastrophic butt failure. Bender is not happy with the new part and has it removed, despite the warning of the mechanic. Amy buys the Beta Romeo, and they all drive back to [[Planet Express]]. As Valentine's Day is coming, Fry asks Leela out, but she refuses. Amy wants to take out her new car to [[Mercury]], and Fry decides to go with her. They have a lot of fuel-consuming fun with the new car and run out of fuel in a desolate area, where they are stuck for a few hours. They get into talking and realize they have a lot in common, and they end up sleeping with each other.<br />

<br />
=== Act II: "Fry and Amy go together like a lime and a coconut" ===<br />
The PE crew is astounded to hear that Fry and Amy are together now, and [[Dr. John Zoidberg|Zoidberg]] is especially jealous as he is miserably lonely and desperately poor so he can't even buy romance. This inspired Bender to start a dating service ''(Benders Computer Dating Service, Discrete and Discreet)'', after a false start that ended in [[New New York v. Bender|court]], and it starts to attract a lot of people, mostly of the desperate kind. Fry is meanwhile fearing that his relationship with Amy might become too close, and asks Leela if she will come with him and Amy to a picnic on [[Europa]] as he doesn't want to be alone with her. Leela refuses, but Zoidberg is happy to join in. On the tour across the moon's frozen surface, Amy is asking Fry what he wants to do on Valentine's Day, and he is preparing to break up with her. For this, he needs a more intimate atmosphere, and lets Zoidberg take the helm of the car. As Zoidy can't drive, there is a terrible accident in which Fry's body is severely injured, but Zoidberg manages to keep his head alive by transplanting it on Amy's shoulder. Whether he wants it or not, Fry is going to spend a lot of time with Amy...<br />
<br />
=== Act III: "This sort of thing always happens with office romances" ===<br />
Fry is now temporarily reduced to his head and dependant on Amy to survive, but he doesn't let this stop himself and he finishes his breakup with her. Amy, however, takes it easy and arranges another date for this evening. Meanwhile, Leela is getting desperate and hires Bender's services to arrange a date for her, and some time later. so does Fry who doesn't want to be alone with Amy and her date. They all congregate to [[Elzar's Fine Cuisine]]. Amy is meeting with a goodlooking guy named [[Gary]], while Bender has arranged [[Petunia]] to be Fry's valentine, and Leela meets [[Sal]]. Only Amy's date is taking a satisfactory course, as both Petunia and Sal (and every other date in the room Bender arranged) have to catch their bus - it turns up Bender rounded up his candidates at a bus station to take a bus to [[Nutley]]. Now Gary and Amy are planning to get busy in a more private fashion, which is a horrifying thought for Fry. He actually tries to break free from Amy's shoulder, when Leela steps in to save him: she involves Gary in a long, boring conversation so the intimate get-together with Amy is canceled. The next day, Dr. Zoidberg restores Fry's head to his own body, and everything seems to have worked out - except for Bender, who becomes, right in the closing shot, a victim of catastrophic butt failure.<br />

=== Trivia ===<br />
*Among the cans in the closet at Planet Express, there are two bearing the labels ''Emergency Beans'' and ''Condensed Milt'', plus two folders, one labeled ''P'', the other ''NP''.<br />
*It is revealed that [[Al Gore]] is on the $500 bill.<br />
<br />
=== Goofs ===<br />
*Bender's Office (employee lounge) seems to connect to the conference room on one end and the hanger and the main hall at the other though the same door.<br />
*Near the end when Fry turns on his chair it duplicates then covers itself up<br />
*In the final scene where Leela is accusing Bender of rounding up their dates at the bus station, during the close up shots of their head the background doesn't change when it switches between them.<br />
<br />
=== Continuity ===<br />
*[[Malfunctioning Eddie]] and [[Victor]] have another appearance in "[[Insane in the Mainframe]]".<br />
*Amy Wong's apartment returns in "[[Proposition Infinity]]" & "[[That Darn Katz!]]"<br />
<br />
=== Allusions ===<br />
*This is not the first time a show created by [[Matt Groening]] has explored the idea of sewing someone's head onto another person's body; the idea was explored in a ''Simpsons Treehouse of Horror'' episode.<br />
*In the scene where they go to Jupiter's moon, Europa, there is a black thing with an "Out of Order" label on it. That is a black monolith, taken from ''2001: A Space Odyssey''.<br />
*The car [[Malfunctioning Eddie]] mentions in his television ad is a ''Plymouth 'V'ger'', a reference to the major plot device in ''Star Trek: The Motion Picture''. A sentient life form known as V'Ger that turns out to be NASA's ''Voyager 6'' deep space probe and also a reference to the ''Plymouth Voyager'' minivan.<br />
*Amy's car has "Cross your heart seatbelts", a parody of Playtex's Cross Your Heart bras.<br />
*Amy's compact makes the ''Star Trek'' communicator sound effect when it opens.<br />
*The only gas station on Mercury is [[Hg's Fuel]], this is a pun as Hg is the chemical symbol for Mercury.<br />
*The company "[[Septuple A]]" is a reference to "Triple A" (i.e., AAA or the American Automobile Association).<br />
*The car "Beta Romeo" is a reference to ''Alfa Romeo''.<br />
*Bender's dating service is advertised as being "Discreet and Discrete", the first meaning exercising self-restraint, and the second a form of mathematics based in logic and computability, by which as a robot, Bender is programmed to abide.<br />
*This episode might be a reference to a 1972 SF film, The Thing With Two Heads. There's also a 1971 movie called The Incredible 2-Headed Transplant<br />

"'''Future Stock'''" is the fifty-third episode of ''[[Futurama]]'', the twenty-first of the [[Season 3|third production season]] and the ninth of the [[Broadcast season 4|fourth broadcast season]]. It aired 31 march, 2002 on FOX. [[Planet Express]] is taken over by "[[Steve Castle|that guy]]", who improves the company's image, but he decides to sell the company to [[Mom]]'s Friendly Delivery Company instead.<br />
<br />
== The Story ==<br />
<br />
=== Act I: "Awesome! Awesome to the max!" ===<br />
[[Planet Express]]' stockholder meeting is taking place at the [[New New York#Lodgatorium Comfort Dome Inn|Lodgatorium Comfort Dome Inn]], and [[Philip J. Fry|Fry]] and [[Dr. John Zoidberg|Zoidberg]] get hungry and visit the [[Religion#Bot-Mizwah|Bot-Mizwah]] next door to get some free food. Zoidberg must stay out (no shellfish). [[Hermes Conrad|Hermes]] tells the stockholders of Planet Express that the company is on the verge of bancrupcy, while Fry and Zoidberg move on to a Cryogenic Support Group which also offers free food. <br />
There Fry meets [[That Guy]], a 1980's stockbroker who had himself frozen until a cure to his terminal disease, [[boneitis]], could be found. Feeling compassion for a fellow person from the 20th century, Fry invites him to work for Planet Express, and they return to the stockholder meeting where [[Hattie McDoogal]] is demanding to nominate a new CEO because the [[Professor Hubert J. Farnsworth|Professor]] has insulted her cat. [[Turanga Leela|Leela]], Bender, Amy, Hermes and the Professor (10,000 shares each) vote for Farnsworth, while Fry (10,000 shares) and [[Scruffy]] (40,000 shares) vote for That Guy. Now Hattie (1 share) demands the floor and votes for That Guy, making him the new CEO of Planet Express.<br />
<br />
=== Act II: "Miss Johnson, have I changed? - No Sir, Mr. Fry!" ===<br />
That Guy is turning Planet Express upside down and blaming everything on the old management, that is, the Professor. He makes Fry his vice-chairman and intends to bring Planet Express right to the top of the delivery business, which means that they have to attack ''[[Mom]]'s Friendly Delivery Company''. Of course, Mom is not amused to learn this. That Guy follows his secret of success, which is that everything is about appearances, and gives Planet Express a completely new look and a completely new image. Zoidberg is not happy about the company's development, and sells all his shares to That Guy for a sandwich. Mom is getting agitated about the new "Delivery Kings" that business magazines write about so much (even if PlanEx hasn't made even one single delivery since the takeover), and has a private meeting with That Guy after they have a talk at [[Elzar's Fine Cuisine]]. As the crew is voicing their concerns about the way That Guy is handling business, and Fry is defending him, That Guy tells them they are all fired and that Mom is going to take over Planet Express.<br />
<br />
=== Act III: "My only regret is... that I have... boneitis." ===<br />
Fry insists that he is innocent of the selling of the company, but no one listens to him. He decides to block the takeover, and goes to the [[Intergalactic Stock Exchange]] in [[Earth]]s orbit where the takeover is to take place in the Business Centre. All of PlanEx's stockholders are there, plus Mom, [[Walt, Larry and Igner|her three sons]] and That Guy. Both companies have to agree to the takeover, and even though all of the Planet Express crew vote against it, it turns out that the shares Zoidberg sold to That Guy gave him majority control. The takeover is approved, and [[MomCorp]] now wants to buy all the shares it doesn't own at the price of 107 $ per share, which makes every remaining stockholder a millionaire. Fry asks That Guy if he will not stop the takeover, but he refuses because he's an 80's guy. Suddenly, every bone in That Guy's body starts to snap and bend, as it turns out that he was being so busy being an 80's guy that he forget to get the cure for his boneitis, and his body rapidly contorts itself through several bone-breaking poses before he dies. After his death, Fry now has control of his shares and makes a speech about how what really counts is friendship, which is more important than money - and as he makes the speech the value of the shares gradually crashes down until it reaches $0.03 per share. The crew tries to stop him doing the right thing, but it is too late - the shares of Planet Express are, once again, worthless and Fry rejects the takeover, as they have nothing left to gain from it. The crew grudgingly goes back to work.<br />

=== Trivia ===<br />
[[File:Bot-Mitzvah.png|thumb|right|!היומ אתה רובות]]<br />
*At the Bot-Mitzvah, the banner reads "'''היום אתה רובוט'''" (''hayom attah robot'') with two misspellings, which translates to "today, you are a robot".<br />
*That Guy and Fry get their new suits at ''Giorgio Amonster''.<br />
*[[Jackie Anderson]] and the [[Pawnbroker]] are at the ape fight.<br />
*The man from the 80's is listed in the script as "Steve Castle", but is only ever referred to in dialog as "that guy".<br />
*Had the sale of Planet Express gone ahead as planned, That Guy would have made around $11.16m, Scruffy would have made $4.28m, Fry, Leela, Bender, Hermes, Amy and the Professor would each earn $1.07m, Hattie would get $107, and Zoidberg would be left with the rotting sandwich he swapped his shares for.<br />
<br />
=== Quotes ===<br />
{{q|<br />
<poem>'''Scruffy''': Now hold on there. Scruffy votes his forty thousand shares for the mysterious stranger.<br />
'''Leela''': Forty thousand? How come you have four times as much stock as the rest of us?<br />
'''Scruffy''': Scruffy believes in this company. ''*sniffles*''</poem><br />
<poem>'''Leela''': Oh my god! I'm a millionare! Suddenly I have an opinion on the capital gains tax!</poem><br />
<poem>'''That Guy''': There are two kinds of people. Sheep and sharks. Anyone who is a sheep is fired. Who is a sheep?<br />
'''Zoidberg''': Errr, excuse me... which is the one people like to hug?<br />
'''That Guy''': Gutsy question, you're a shark.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Hermes''': We can't compete with Mom! Her company is big and evil! Ours is small and neutral!<br />
'''That Guy''': Switzerland is small and neutral! We are more like Germany, ambitious and misunderstood!<br />
'''Amy''': Look, everyone wants to be like Germany, but do we really have the pure strength of will?</poem><br />
<poem>'''Professor''': I'll ruin you like I ruined this company!</poem><br />
<poem>'''That Guy''': ''[Checking his new business suit.]'' That's what I call a hostile makeover!</poem><br />
<poem>'''Professor''': This isn't a ''business!'' I've always thought of it as a source of cheap labour, like a family.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Leela''': Zoidberg owned 51% of the company?<br />
'''Hermes''': The shares were worthless, and he kept asking for toilet paper!</poem><br />

=== Allusions ===<br />
*The PlanEx logo in the commercial looks a lot like the ''FedEx'' logo.<br />
*The PlanEx commercial is a parody of that of Apple Computers in 1984. And the fact that the crew hates the commercial is a reference to Apple Computers' own opinion of the commercial which only aired once; during the Super Bowl.<br />
*During the voting for the future of Planet Express--with the option of two buttons, one in favour, the other opposed--Mom's son Igner is confused and inexplicably registers a vote for "{{w|Pat Buchanan}}", in reference to the infamous Florida voting controversy of the 2000 U.S. Presidential election. With everyone staring angrily at Igner, he says in his defence "the ballot was confusing," thus making fun of the Election even more.<br />
*In the scene where "That Guy" and Fry are watching an ape fight, [[Calculon]] is struck by an oversize tricycle hurled from the ring. His angry "Get your stinkin' trike off me, you damn dirty ape!" is an obvious parody of George Taylor's line "Take your stinking paws off me, you damned dirty ape!" from the 1968 film ''{{w|Planet of the Apes}}''.<br />
*The stock exchange space station shows stock abbreviations including RUN and DMC (in reference to hip-hop group [[Wikipedia:Run-D.M.C.|Run-D.M.C.]]), [[Wikipedia:James T. Kirk|KIRK]], [[Wikipedia:Gorn|GORN]], and [[Wikipedia:Q (Star Trek)|Q]] (Star Trek references), and FOX ([[20th Century Fox]], the producer of ''[[Futurama]]''), the last showing a loss of 61 points. OSX and WIN also appears (references to {{w|Mac OS X}} and {{w|Microsoft Windows}} respectively, interestingly, OSX have gone up, while WIN have gone down).<br />
*The station's appearance, as well as a waltz playing on the soundtrack, is a reference to a similar scene in the film {{w|2001: A Space Odyssey (film)|2001: A Space Odyssey}}. The exchange's giant-image holographic public-address system ("I am Jor-El, Master of Scheduling!") is a reference to a scene in the 1978 Superman film, featuring a character named Jor-El and a tribunal of larger-than-life projected faces.<br />
*"That Guy" had a ''[[Wikipedia:Miami Vice|Miami Vice]]'' lunchbox.<br />
*A stock broker robot orders to "Sell one hundred soylent beans!", referring to the movie [[Soylent Products|Soylent Green]].<br />
*That Guy says that this company (Planet Express) is gonna get up and stay up like {{w|Cyndi Lauper}} which is a reference to Lauper's great popularity in the 80's, That Guy's time span, and decline after the 90's.<br />
*When That Guy is about to sell Planet Express he says "It's Hammertime" a catchphrase inspired by another popular 80's musician, {{w|MC Hammer}}.<br />
*Amy asks "Look, everyone wants to be like Germany, but do we really have the pure strength of will?", a reference to the 1934 Nazi propaganda film {{w|Triumph of the Will}}.<br />
*The shop where Fry and That Guy buy their tuxeedos is called ''Giorgio Armonster'', a reference to fine clothes and perfume shop ''{{w|Giorgio Armani}}''.<br />
*Scruffy reads the ''National Pornographic'' which looks a lot like a ''National Geographic'' publication.<br />
*The businessman from the 1980s is loosely based on the character of Gordon Gekko from the movie ''Wall Street''. In turn, Gekko was modelled after real world corporate raider Ivan Boesky. That Guy's real name in the scripts was Steve Castle.<br />
*That Guy's plan to boost PlanEx's "image" in order to sell the worthless company that does nothing's stocks off at exorbitant prices is a direct satire of the Enron scandal.<br />
<br />
=== Goofs ===<br />
*The banner written in Hebrew at the Bot-Mitzvah is spelled incorrectly. It reads "היומ אתה רובות", when it should be "היו'''ם''' אתה רובו'''ט'''" (''hayom attah robot'', "today you are a robot").<br />
*Although Zoidberg trades all his Planet Express shares for a sandwich, he is seen with a vote remote and casts a 'No' vote for Mom's hostile takeover.<br />
*When the crew goes into Fry's office, the picture of "that guy" hanging on the wall doesn't have a pocket handkerchief in his jacket pocket but when it is shown later in this scene, it is shown with a handkerchief in his jacket pocket.<br />

"'''Spanish Fry'''" is the seventy-first episode of ''[[Futurama]]'', the seventeenth of the [[Season 4|fourth production season]] and the twelfth of the [[Broadcast season 5|fifth broadcast season]]. It aired 13 July, 2003 on FOX. During a night in the forest, [[Philip J. Fry|Fry]] has his [[humanhorn|nose]] removed, their mission to recollect his nose, leads into the saving of [[Lrrr]]'s and [[Ndnd]]'s marriage.<br />
<br />
== The Story ==<br />
=== Act I: "Oh my God! Look, it's Bigfoot!" ===<br />
The crew goes on company vacation in [[Duraflame National Forest]], an area famous for the possible sightings of [[Bigfoot]] - it is actually a National Bigfoot Reserve. The [[Ranger Park|Park Ranger]] explains all about Bigfoot and the continued uncertainty about the actual existence of this mythical creature by means of a movie. That night, [[Bender Bending Rodriguez|Bender]], wanting [[Philip J. Fry|Fry's]] tent, decides to take advantage of Fry's belief in Bigfoot, so he can have a place to sleep. Fry thinking that Bender really ''is'' Bigfoot, goes to meet the endangered creature. During his search Fry gets lost in the woods and is abducted by an UFO.<br />
<br />
=== Act II: "OK, you can have my nose!" ===<br />
When Fry rejoins the camp the next morning, the crew notice that an important part of the delivery boy is missing - his nose. They return to [[New New York]] to get Fry a new nose, there they hear that recently humans have been abducted by aliens and returned without noses. The culprits are alien hunters that are after ''[[Human Horn|human horn]]'', apparently a powerful and expensive aphrodisiac much desired on alien worlds and in fact nothing else than human noses. [[Turanga Leela|Leela]], Bender and Fry mount a search and travel to the [[Galactic Bazaar]] ''(Slogan: Legal goods etc.)'' where they eventually find a [[Human Horn dealer|chamaeleon-like sleazy dealer]] in [[The Beast With Two Bucks|one of the shops]] who trades human horn. They extract the information from him who bought Fry's nose: it was [[Lrrr]], ruler of [[Omicron Persei 8]]. The three of them travel there to recover the nose before it is used and soon learn why Lrrr has stooped to using human horn: his marriage isn't going all that well. He was hoping that it could be mended by his purchase. His wife [[Ndnd]] returns the nose, but as the [[Omicronians]] learn that the nose is not, in fact, a sexual organ, Lrrr is now after Fry's, as he puts it, ''lower horn''.<br />
<br />
=== Act III: "I keep my horn as long as you two end up doing the horizontal monster mash" ===<br />
Fry is of course reluctant to let go of his lower horn, and Leela suggests that Lrrr and Ndnd resolve their relationship problems by something other than an aphrodisiac. Ndnd once loved the sensitive side of her husband that she now misses in him. Fry manages to cut a deal: if he makes the two of them love each other again, he gets to keep his lower horn. Him, Leela and Bender travel back to Duraflame National Forest and arrange a romantic dinner under the stars, but everything they try to inflame the two Omicronians love to each other fails miserably, even when Leela begins to sing what she thinks is the most beautiful love song ever written ''(I will always love you)'' which the Omicronians actually misinterpret as a sonic attack. Fry is about to lose his lower horm when Bigfoot makes an actual appearance. At once, Lrrr and Ndnd are fascinated with this cute sight, and as Ranger Park tries to attack Bigfoot with a tranquilizer gun in order to cut off his feet and prove his existence, they defend him. Lrrr then realizes that cutting off Fry's lower horn would make him no better than the ranger, and lets Fry go. Ndnd realizes that the sensitive Lrrr she once loved still exists, and the two of them instantly start to make out.<br />
<br />
== Additional Info ==<br />
=== Trivia ===<br />
* The opening theme tune is sung a capella in a beatbox style by [[John DiMaggio]] and [[Billy West]] instead of the usual instrumental version.<br />
* In the credits, [[The Scary Door]] has another short appearance.<br />
**This episode of the Scary Door was originally meant to open the episode "[[The Birdbot of Ice-Catraz]]", but was deleted.<br />
* Fry mounts his tent using a frying-pan.<br />
* The production year of the documentary about Bigfoot is MMCMLXII that is 2962.<br />
* The sex shop at the Galactic Bazaar is named "The Beast With Two Bucks", a reference to Shakespeare's Othello. Iago tells Brabantio that his daughter, Desdemona, is making "the beast with two backs" with Othello. It will be referenced again as the title of the second ''Futurama'' film, ''[[The Beast with a Billion Backs]]''.<br />
* The tubes that come out of the saucer that abducts Fry are similar to a popular Microsoft screensaver.<br />
* The title of the episode refers to the popular aphrodisiac product "{{w|Spanish fly}}".<br />
* Gene Shalit bobbleheads are seen in the space bazaar.<br />

'''Lrrr''' is ruler of the planet [[Omicron Persei 8]], a middle-aged [[Omicronian]] man with a bad temper and a soft spot for conquering planets and [[20th century]] [[television]].<br />
<br />
== Character description ==<br />
<br />
Lrrr is a ruthless leader, who often subsides his empire's interest for the sake of his own, such as invading [[Earth]] on the grounds that ''[[Single Female Lawyer]]''{{'}}s series finale was abruptly interrupted by technical difficulties.[[When Aliens Attack|<sup>(1ACV12)</sup>]] While acting as a vicious, dangerous leader of his people, he is in actuality bored with [[Ndnd]]'s constant nagging about having to conquer planets, and prefers lying on his couch watching TV.<br />
<br />
While being a fan of [[20th century]] [[television]], such as ''{{w|Friends}}'', he also has a softer side. He has been divorced and re-married at least once, but his relationship now remains stable with his current wife, [[Ndnd]]. However, despite this, the passion within this relationship has not had sparks since they married, in spite of attempts with [[Human horns|aphrodisiacs]].[[Spanish Fry|<sup>(4ACV17)</sup>]]<br />
<br />
His wife Ndnd cited his former softer side as her original passion for Lrrr, but Lrrr had increasingly become more focused on himself as well as his warfare. It was not until the [[Planet Express]] crew in [[3004]] invited them out to a picnic in the [[Duraflame National Forest]], where during an encounter with [[Bigfoot]] and [[Ranger Park]] realised that Lrrr's hunt for [[Philip J. Fry|Fry]]'s "[[lower horn]]" was a useless attempt to restore the passion in his marriage, and the poetry he spurt out, reignited Ndnd's love for him.<br />
<br />
But Lrrr has also had a less obtainable wish to make [[Lrrr's father|his father]] proud, but after losing the [[Universal Poker Championship]] in [[3009]], his father remained unimpressed with Lrrr's performance.<br />
<br />
== Biography == <br />
<br />
Little is known about Lrrr's past, other than that he has married at least once before marrying [[Ndnd|his current wife]]. He seemingly was much more of a conqueror in his past, his wife wishing him to conquer more planets like he used to. In spite of this, he has attacked [[Earth]] three times in the past few years - when the finale of ''[[Single Female Lawyer]]'' was cancelled[[When Aliens Attack|<sup>(1ACV12)</sup>]], when [[popplers|his young]] were sold as food on Earth[[The Problem With Popplers|<sup>(2ACV15)</sup>]] and when he wanted to make [[Ndnd]] take him back[[Lrrreconcilable Ndndifferences|<sup>(6ACV11)</sup>]].<br />
<br />
== Additional Info ==<br />
=== Trivia ===<br />
*The first time Lrrr is introduced, the subtitles spell his name "Lure".<br />
*Though completely unable to grasp human social interaction, he is nevertheless able to recognise that ''Friends'' episodes can suffer from being "Joey-heavy".<br />
*Lrrr does not like candy Valentine Hearts.<br />
*Lrrr's horns on the top of his head are darker than other Omicronians, possibly to show his royalty.<br />
*A running gag on the show involves Lrrr's trouble with microphones. In "[[When Aliens Attack]]", he says, "Is this thing on?" In "[[The Problem with Popplers]]", his first words are echoed by a television playing his address at the same time and at the end of his address, he is unaware that they are still on camera and inappropriately scratches his ass. In the same episode, his [[popplers|poppler]] [[Jrrr]] has troubles with his microphone. In "[[Lrrreconcilable Ndndifferences]]", when Lrrr first attempts to speak at [[Comic-Con Intergalactic |Comic-Con 3010]], no one can hear what he is saying at all until [[Randy Munchnik]] raises the mike stand for him.<br />
*Lrrr is a fan of the New Orleans Saints.<br />
*He largely resembles Bowser the Koopa king from Super Mario Bros.<br />
=== Catchphrase ===<br />
*'''Lrrr''': "I am Lrrr, ruler of the planet [[Omicron Persei 8]]".<br />

The '''Omicronians''' are a violent, agressive race that is 14 billion years old. They are residents of [[Omicron Persei 8]] and probably other planets in [[Omicron Persei System|that system]]. Omicronians stand around eight feet tall, and have characteristics of reptiles. Their skin can have various colours, ranging from a greenish-yellow to dark brown, their eyes are yellow with oval pupils. They are not very picky eaters, and have been known to swallow humans and orangutangs whole. They are also fans of [[20th century]] [[television]], particurlarly the programming of the [[Fox Network (in-universe)|FOX Network]]. They watch these programs "live" in the year [[3000]], since radio waves from [[Earth]] take 1,000 years to reach [[Omicron Persei 8]][[When Aliens Attack|<sup>(1ACV12)</sup>]]. The Omicronian war machine is one of the chief threats to the [[Democratic Order of Planets|DOOP]], and the Omicronians have been known to react disproportionally to even the slightest disturbance or irritation. They [[First Omicronian Invasion of Earth|first invaded Earth]] when [[Philip J. Fry|Fry]] knocked FOX off air and Omicronians couldn't see the end of [[Single Female Lawyer]]. Since then, they have invaded the planet for two more times. The [[Second Omicronian Invasion of Earth|second invasion]] ocurred when Humans began eating [[Popplers]], while the [[Third Omicronian Invasion of Earth|third invasion]] was actually a fake.<br />
<br />
== Reproduction ==<br />
Omicronians begin their lives in an immature, larval state, which are placed in large pits by the billions on nursery planets. In this state, they resemble fried shrimp and are reportedly delicious, they became widely known on Earth under the brand name ''[[Popplers]]'', distributed by the fast food franchise [[Fishy Joe's]][[The Problem with Popplers|<sup>(2ACV15)</sup>]]. After people had eaten billions of them the Omicronians invaded for a second time. Once mature, they become sentient immediately. It seems unlikely that the parents are actively involved in their upbringing, but this is only speculation. It seems likely that young Omicronians instinctively know how to speak once they have reached a certain stage. There is evidence that suggests the younger generation consumes the previous one ([[Jrrr]]: "When my species grows up, we eat our mums."). Based on the episode "[[Spanish Fry]]" the act of reproduction for this species may be dangerous to all others within a "safe, 500 meter radius". According to "[[Lrrreconcilable Ndndifferences]]", the female's organs must first move in position before starting intercourse.<br />
<br />
== Biology ==<br />
Aside from their larger size and strength, their only super-human ability seems to be their capacity to swallow very large objects (like people). Their technology is more advanced than that of the human race, for example, their [[Omicronian Saucers|big ships]] and they know the secret of immortality.

The male's horn, white or brownish, are apparantly also their reproductive organs, and large horns signal a powerful man.[[Lrrreconcilable Ndndifferences|<sup>(6ACV11)</sup>]]<br />

"'''Lrrreconcilable Ndndifferences'''" is the ninety-ninth episode of ''[[Futurama]]'', the eleventh of the [[Season 6|sixth production season]] and the [[Broadcast season 7|seventh broadcast season]]. It aired 26 August, 2010 on [[Comedy Central]], and guest starred [[Katee Sackhoff]], [[Sergio Aragonés]] and ''Futurama'' creators [[Matt Groening]] and [[David X. Cohen]]. After a bungled [[Earth]] invasion, [[Omicronians|Omicronian]] leader [[Lrrr]] faces a mid-life crisis.<br />
<br />
== The Story ==<br />
=== Act I: "I am Lrrr, ruler of the planet Omicron Persei 8!" ===<br />
Stopping her husband watching ''[[The Scary Door]]'', [[Ndnd]] becomes fed up with [[Lrrr|Lrrr's]] lack of motivation to conquer other worlds. He reluctantly invades [[Earth]]. However, he arrives during [[Comic-Con Intergalactic|Comic-Con 3010]] and is mistaken for a costume contest participant and leaves dejected. Concurrently, [[Fry]] attempts to author [[Delivery-Boy Man (in-universe comic)|a superhero comic book]] featuring himself as the superhero saving a captured [[Leela]] from [[Invader X|a malevolent alien]]. The crew is unimpressed with the comic, with the exception of the back page of novelty toy ads for x-ray specs, sea monkeys, and [[Farnsworth Novelty Disintegrator Ray|the Professor's disintegration guns]], which are actually only teleportation guns. Leela also criticizes the comic, leaving Fry to figure out how to make the story more compelling.<br />
Back on [[Omicron Persei 8]], Ndnd learns of Lrrr's failure and kicks him out of their home. Lrrr returns to Earth, seeking shelter at the [[Planet Express headquarters]].<br />
<br />
=== Act II: "I'll do it for free." ===<br />
The crew diagnoses Lrrr and his marriage problems as symptomatic of a mid-life crisis. Leela encourages Lrrr to recommit himself to his marriage with Ndnd, but he listens instead to [[Bender]] and gets horn extensions, flashy new clothes, and goes out to a club to meet new women. There he meets an attractive female [[Omicronians|Omicronian]] named [[Grrrl]]. While on a date with her, she reveals that she is actually a [[Humans|human]] woman from the Comic-Con wearing an Omicronian costume. Though she is very attracted to real Omicronians, Lrrr rejects her and seeks Leela's advice on how to win back Ndnd.<br />
Leela and the crew help Lrrr stage an invasion of Earth using a fake broadcast with the help of [[Orson Welles' head]] à la the 1938 ''{{w|War of Worlds}}'' radio broadcast. Ndnd is fooled, but so are the Earthican army, who surrender Earth immediately to Lrrr.<br />
<br />
=== Act III: "She is not the boss of you. I am the boss of you!" ===<br />
Leela scolds Lrrr, demanding that he end the charade and tell Ndnd the truth, but he hesitates due to Ndnd's renewed romantic interest and forces the [[Earthicans|citizens of Earth]] into slavery. During this time, Leela constantly nags Lrrr about telling Ndnd the truth, which causes Ndnd suspicion about their relationship. She confronts Lrrr, demanding to know if he is having an affair. Grrrl reappears, announcing that she loves Lrrr and will fight for him, brandishing a disintegration ray. Ndnd quickly takes the weapon and shoots Grrrl, causing her body to disappear. Ndnd reveals that she is not upset that Lrrr may have been minutely romantically involved with Grrrl, but that Lrrr allowed Leela to nag him, which Ndnd feels is her role and right as his wife. She invokes an Omicronian rite called [[Rrrmrrrmrrrfrrrmrrr or Consequences]] where Lrrr is reluctantly forced to prove his love for Ndnd by shooting Leela, whom he values as a friend, with the Farnsworth Novelty Disintegrator Ray.<br />
As he fires, Fry leaps in front of Leela, sacrificing his life. Ndnd is moved by Lrrr's demonstration of love and the two happily depart back to Omicron Persei 8. Leela is devastated by Fry's sacrifice. However, as the Omicronians depart, Grrrl reappears, shocking the crew. She reveals that the disintegration gun is merely one of the Professor's novelty teleportation guns that she purchased from an ad in the back of a comic book. She then begins to hit on Zoidberg who responds by saying of course he'll marry her. Realizing that Fry is alive, the crew find him back at [[Planet Express]], putting the finishing touches on his comic. Inspired by his own heroic actions, his super hero counterpart attempts to rescue Leela from the malevolent alien by leaping in front of its ray gun. Leela is pleased with the new ending and commends the comic book, giving Fry a kiss on the cheek.<br />
<br />

[[file:Well heads.png|thumb|left|[[Orson Welles' head]] in the [[Head Museum]], near ''[[Futurama]]'' voice actor [[Frank Welker]].]]<br />
<br />
=== Trivia ===<br />
*Once again, [[Maurice LaMarche]] reprises his Orson Welles impression and his parody of Welles' infamous "Frozen Peas" recording session, having previously reprised this impression for such diverse projects as the Brain in ''Pinky and the Brain'' and Welles himself in the film ''Ed Wood'' (although the physical incarnation of Welles was played by Vincent D'Onofrio) and the TV shows ''The Critic'', and ''The Simpsons''.<br />
*An actual "[[Delivery-Boy Man]]" comic, based on the events of this episode, was released as a promotional item at Comic Con 2010 a month prior to its airing.<br />
*This is the second time that Fry jumps in the way of peril to save Leela.<br />
*The heads of [[Frank Welker]] and {{w|H. G. Wells}} among others can be seen beside [[Orson Welles' head]]. <br />
**Maybe they are "stored" in alphabetical order.<br />
*This is the fourth time we see Matt Groening's head, the previous times being in "[[Space Pilot 3000]]", ''[[Bender's Big Score]]'' and ''[[Into the Wild Green Yonder]]''.<br />
<br />
=== Allusions ===<br />
<br />
*'{{w|Peace With Honor}}' was a phrase [[Richard Nixon's head|Nixon]] used to explain the US withdrawal from Vietnam near the end of the Vietnam War.<br />
*[[Lrrr]] watches an episode of "[[The Scary Door]]" which is a reference to "The Twilight Zone"<br />
*There is a "War Of The Worlds" reference that includes Orson Welles recreating his 1938 radio broadcast based on H. G. Wells' book of the same title.<br />
*During the fake broadcast of an invasion, Orson Welles says, "We interrupt our program of the Jonas Brothers and their Orchestra...". A reference to the pop band, The Jonas Brothers and to ''Ramon Raquello and His Orchestra'', which was 'interrupted' in the original "War Of The Worlds" radio broadcast.<br />
*[[Lrrr]] brings back the face of [[J.J. Abrams]], a famous movie director as well as the creator of "{{w|Lost}}".<br />
*Bender's phrase "Dork calling Orson" when Fry is calling Orson Wells is a reference to the 1978-1982 Robin Williams sitcom {{w|Mork & Mindy}}.<br />
*The location of the Omicronian ancient ritual is White Planes, NNY: a reference to the city White Plains, NY.<br />
<br />
[[file:Costume contest.png|thumb|220px|right|The Comic-Con sequence, for example this costume contest scene, is filled with references.]]<br />
<br />
==== Comic Con ====<br />
The Comic Con section especially is filled with allusions and references:<br />
<br />
*Matt Groening's and David X. Cohen's heads' new show, "Futurella", is a self-parody of itself, down to the same opening sequence and the fact that it was cancelled before its time.<br />
**The people on the panel are the Futurama crew members that were on the 2010 Comic Con panel and [[Bill Morrison Robot|the panel's moderator]] is based on [[Bill Morrison]], who is their usual moderator.<br />
*Several cosplayers are references to popular movies, television series, Futurama characters and more:<br />
**{{w|Mario}} from {{w|Mario Bros.}} ([[Randy Munchnik|Randy]])<br />
**[[Mom]], [[Walt]], [[Larry]] and [[Igner]]<br />
**The [[Robot Devil]] ([[Dr. Ben Beeler]])<br />
**A {{w|Na'vi}} from {{w|Avatar (2009 film)|Avatar}} ([[Scruffy]])<br />
**[[Yivo]]<br />
**[[Brain Spawn]]s ([[Chinese Boy]], [[Indian Boy]] and [[Dwight Conrad]])<br />
**{{w|Sailor Moon}}<br />
**{{w|Davy Jones}} from "{{w|Pirates of the Carribean: Dead Man's Chest}}" ([[Dr. Zoidberg]])<br />
**{{w|Charlie Brown}}'s ghost costume from "{{w|It's The Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown}}" ([[Fry]])<br />
**{{w|Princess Leia}} from {{w|Star Wars}} ([[Turanga Leela|Leela]])<br />
**"Every nerd's fantasy"/"Nerdgasma" / [[Turanga Leela|Leela]] ([[Bender Bending Rodriguez|Bender]])<br />
**{{w|Spider-Man}}<br />
**[[Lrrr]] ([[Lrrr]]) - involuntairly<br />
**{{w|Princess Leia}}'s slave outfit from ''{{w|Star Wars}}'' (some fat girl).<br />
**Wally from {{w|Where's Wally?|Where's Wally/Waldo?}}<br />
*The "Toy-minator" seen at 3010 Comic-Con is a reference to "The Terminator" franchise and the stars beside the name is a reference to the "G.I. Joe" toy franchise.<br />
*The Zapp Brannigan action figures are modelled in the same pose as the actual [[Toynami]] figure, and the box is also of a similar design. His line refers to an outtake from the animated Star Trek series, where Shatner is asked to say the word "sabotage" differently, and tells the director "Don't tell me how to do it, it sickens me".<br />
* At Comic-Con, between “Videogame – The Movie” and “Movie – The Videogame”, a racer very similar to the racers in ''{{w|Tron}}'', the 1982 film turned video game, can be seen.<br />
*Leela makes a reference to [[Joss Whedon]], a Comic-Con fixture who is the creator of such projects as ''{{w|Buffy the Vampire Slayer}}'', ''{{w|Firefly}}'', ''{{w|Serenity}}'', ''{{w|Dollhouse}}'', and ''{{w|Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog}}''.<br />
*When [[Matt Groening's head]] shoots [[Bender]] after he asks when a second ''[[the Simpsons|Simpsons]]'' movie will be made, Bender can be heard shouting, "D'OH!", which is, of course, {{w|Homer Simpson}}'s catchphrase.<br />
<br />
=== Continuity ===<br />
*[[Lrrr]] watches an episode of "[[The Scary Door]]", previously seen in many episodes, most recently "''[[Bender's Game]]''".<br />
*[[Lrrr]]'s and [[Ndnd]]'s relationship problems were previously established in "[[Spanish Fry]]".<br />
*At Comic-Con 3010, [[Lrrr]] states that he recognizes Leela from somewhere; in response, Leela says that she was in his mouth at one time. A reference to the event in "[[The Problem with Popplers]]".<br />
*At the Comic-Con costume contest, the contestants are wearing costumes of characters seen in previous episodes/DVD movies of Futurama:<br />
**There are people dressed up as [[Mom]] and her three sons.<br />
**Grrl is dressed up as [[Edna]], Zoidberg's love, from "[[Why Must I Be A Crustacean In Love]]".<br />
**There's someone dressed up as [[Yivo]] from "''[[The Beast with a Billion Backs]]''".<br />
**There's someone dressed up as the [[Robot Devil]].<br />
**There are [[Dwight Conrad|Dwight]] along his [[Chinese Boy|chinese]] and [[Indian Boy|indian]] friend dressed up as members of the [[brain spawn]] last seen in "[[The Why of Fry]]".<br />
*The cross-species dresser uses the word [[Popplers]] in this episode, which has not been heard since its premier in "[[The Problem with Popplers]]".<br />
*The army, led by Zapp Brannigan before surrendering to Lrrr, are wearing the same army uniforms seen since "[[War Is the H-Word]]".<br />
*[[Bender]] uses his left eye as a broadcasting camera once again, which he used previously in "[[When Aliens Attack]]".<br />
*[[Professor Farnsworth]] uses his Fing-longer to wake up [[Lrrr]]; the Fing-longer was introduced in "[[Anthology of Interest I]]" and has been seen most recently in "[[The Duh-Vinci Code]]".<br />
*As a continuation of a running gag established in "[[When Aliens Attack]]", Lrrr once again has trouble speaking into a microphone.<br />
*The “Spaceship in a bottle” on display at the Comic-Con is not unlike Professor Farnsworth's [[Scale model of the universe's largest bottle]] with a spaceship inside, as seen in "[[The 30% Iron Chef]]".<br />
*Lrrr buys his car from Malfunctioning Eddie's Rocket Car Emporium which was first seen in "[[Put Your Head on My Shoulder]]".<br />
*The [[Australian Man]] has once again been enslaved, after being enslaved in the episodes "[[How Hermes Requisitioned His Groove Back]]" and "[[A Pharaoh to Remember]]".<br />
*Ndnd watches the live "Earth Invasion" broadcast in real time, despite Omicron Persei 8 being 1000 light years away from Earth. This delay in signal reception was an integral plot point in the episode "[[When Aliens Attack]]", when Lrrr travels to Earth demanding resolution to the unfinished episode of "Single Female Lawyer", that had aired on Earth 1000 years prior. It was established, however, in "[[A Clone of My Own]]" and the [[episode Commentary Listing|episodes' commentaries]], that more recent broadcasts travel at the ''new'', faster, speed of light.<br />

=== Goofs ===<br />
<br />
<!--THE REAL TIME TELEVISION THING IS _____NOOOOOOOT_____ A GOOF. Check talk page.--><br />
<br />
*When Lrrr and Bender go to [[The Hip Joint]], [[Grrrl]] asks "Hey, cool cape, wheredja get that?" and Lrrr responds "What, this old thing? I murdered my father." However, Lrrr's cape is extremely similar, if not identical, to the one he has worn throughout the series.<br />
**He may have actually killed [[Lrrr's father|his father]], who was last seen in "''[[Into the Wild Green Yonder]]''", and acquired an identical cape accordingly.<br />
**His claim might have been an outright lie, as an attempt to impress Grrl.<br />
*When they are broadcasting live, they are in the Planet Express building and then suddenly by [[the White House]].<br />
*No one should be dressed like the [[Brain Spawn]] because no one (except Fry) was able to remember that the brains tried to conquer and destroy Earth.<br />
**The fact no one remembers that the Earth was attacked by Brain Spawns doesn't mean that people are completely unaware of their existence.<br />
*When Leela tries to persuade Lrrr to avoid another War of the Worlds, just before Fry calls Orson Welles, Lrrr's horns are the same colour as the rest of his skin.<br />
*When Lrrr shoots the robot in the clothing store: <br />
**His "LRRR" necklace is legible in the mirror, when it should be reversed;<br />
**His reflection puts away its gun before he does.<br />

"'''Lrrreconcilable Ndndifferences'''" is the ninety-ninth episode of ''[[Futurama]]'', the eleventh of the [[Season 6|sixth production season]] and the [[Broadcast season 7|seventh broadcast season]]. It aired 26 August, 2010 on [[Comedy Central]], and guest starred [[Katee Sackhoff]], [[Sergio Aragonés]] and ''Futurama'' creators [[Matt Groening]] and [[David X. Cohen]]. After a bungled [[Earth]] invasion, [[Omicronians|Omicronian]] leader [[Lrrr]] faces a mid-life crisis.<br />
<br />
== The Story ==<br />
=== Act I: "I am Lrrr, ruler of the planet Omicron Persei 8!" ===<br />
Stopping her husband watching ''[[The Scary Door]]'', [[Ndnd]] becomes fed up with [[Lrrr|Lrrr's]] lack of motivation to conquer other worlds. He reluctantly invades [[Earth]]. However, he arrives during [[Comic-Con Intergalactic|Comic-Con 3010]] and is mistaken for a costume contest participant and leaves dejected. Concurrently, [[Fry]] attempts to author [[Delivery-Boy Man (in-universe comic)|a superhero comic book]] featuring himself as the superhero saving a captured [[Leela]] from [[Invader X|a malevolent alien]]. The crew is unimpressed with the comic, with the exception of the back page of novelty toy ads for x-ray specs, sea monkeys, and [[Farnsworth Novelty Disintegrator Ray|the Professor's disintegration guns]], which are actually only teleportation guns. Leela also criticizes the comic, leaving Fry to figure out how to make the story more compelling.<br />
Back on [[Omicron Persei 8]], Ndnd learns of Lrrr's failure and kicks him out of their home. Lrrr returns to Earth, seeking shelter at the [[Planet Express headquarters]].<br />

While on a date with her, she reveals that she is actually a [[Humans|human]] woman from the Comic-Con wearing an Omicronian costume. Though she is very attracted to real Omicronians, Lrrr rejects her and seeks Leela's advice on how to win back Ndnd.<br />

The Comic Con section especially is filled with allusions and references:<br />
<br />
*Matt Groening's and David X. Cohen's heads' new show, "Futurella", is a self-parody of itself, down to the same opening sequence and the fact that it was cancelled before its time.<br />
**The people on the panel are the Futurama crew members that were on the 2010 Comic Con panel and [[Bill Morrison Robot|the panel's moderator]] is based on [[Bill Morrison]], who is their usual moderator.<br />
*Several cosplayers are references to popular movies, television series, Futurama characters and more:<br />

*The "Toy-minator" seen at 3010 Comic-Con is a reference to "The Terminator" franchise and the stars beside the name is a reference to the "G.I. Joe" toy franchise.<br />
*The Zapp Brannigan action figures are modelled in the same pose as the actual [[Toynami]] figure, and the box is also of a similar design. His line refers to an outtake from the animated Star Trek series, where Shatner is asked to say the word "sabotage" differently, and tells the director "Don't tell me how to do it, it sickens me".<br />
* At Comic-Con, between “Videogame – The Movie” and “Movie – The Videogame”, a racer very similar to the racers in ''{{w|Tron}}'', the 1982 film turned video game, can be seen.<br />
*Leela makes a reference to [[Joss Whedon]], a Comic-Con fixture who is the creator of such projects as ''{{w|Buffy the Vampire Slayer}}'', ''{{w|Firefly}}'', ''{{w|Serenity}}'', ''{{w|Dollhouse}}'', and ''{{w|Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog}}''.<br />
*When [[Matt Groening's head]] shoots [[Bender]] after he asks when a second ''[[the Simpsons|Simpsons]]'' movie will be made, Bender can be heard shouting, "D'OH!", which is, of course, {{w|Homer Simpson}}'s catchphrase.<br />
<br />
=== Continuity ===<br />
*[[Lrrr]] watches an episode of "[[The Scary Door]]", previously seen in many episodes, most recently "''[[Bender's Game]]''".<br />
*[[Lrrr]]'s and [[Ndnd]]'s relationship problems were previously established in "[[Spanish Fry]]".<br />
*At Comic-Con 3010, [[Lrrr]] states that he recognizes Leela from somewhere; in response, Leela says that she was in his mouth at one time. A reference to the event in "[[The Problem with Popplers]]".<br />
*At the Comic-Con costume contest, the contestants are wearing costumes of characters seen in previous episodes/DVD movies of Futurama:<br />
**There are people dressed up as [[Mom]] and her three sons.<br />
**Grrl is dressed up as [[Edna]], Zoidberg's love, from "[[Why Must I Be A Crustacean In Love]]".<br />
**There's someone dressed up as [[Yivo]] from "''[[The Beast with a Billion Backs]]''".<br />
**There's someone dressed up as the [[Robot Devil]].<br />
**There are [[Dwight Conrad|Dwight]] along his [[Chinese Boy|chinese]] and [[Indian Boy|indian]] friend dressed up as members of the [[brain spawn]] last seen in "[[The Why of Fry]]".<br />
*The cross-species dresser uses the word [[Popplers]] in this episode, which has not been heard since its premier in "[[The Problem with Popplers]]".<br />
*The army, led by Zapp Brannigan before surrendering to Lrrr, are wearing the same army uniforms seen since "[[War Is the H-Word]]".<br />
*[[Bender]] uses his left eye as a broadcasting camera once again, which he used previously in "[[When Aliens Attack]]".<br />
*[[Professor Farnsworth]] uses his Fing-longer to wake up [[Lrrr]]; the Fing-longer was introduced in "[[Anthology of Interest I]]" and has been seen most recently in "[[The Duh-Vinci Code]]".<br />
*As a continuation of a running gag established in "[[When Aliens Attack]]", Lrrr once again has trouble speaking into a microphone.<br />
*The “Spaceship in a bottle” on display at the Comic-Con is not unlike Professor Farnsworth's [[Scale model of the universe's largest bottle]] with a spaceship inside, as seen in "[[The 30% Iron Chef]]".<br />
*Lrrr buys his car from Malfunctioning Eddie's Rocket Car Emporium which was first seen in "[[Put Your Head on My Shoulder]]".<br />
*The [[Australian Man]] has once again been enslaved, after being enslaved in the episodes "[[How Hermes Requisitioned His Groove Back]]" and "[[A Pharaoh to Remember]]".<br />
*Ndnd watches the live "Earth Invasion" broadcast in real time, despite Omicron Persei 8 being 1000 light years away from Earth. This delay in signal reception was an integral plot point in the episode "[[When Aliens Attack]]", when Lrrr travels to Earth demanding resolution to the unfinished episode of "Single Female Lawyer", that had aired on Earth 1000 years prior. It was established, however, in "[[A Clone of My Own]]" and the [[episode Commentary Listing|episodes' commentaries]], that more recent broadcasts travel at the ''new'', faster, speed of light.<br />

*When Lrrr and Bender go to [[The Hip Joint]], [[Grrrl]] asks "Hey, cool cape, wheredja get that?" and Lrrr responds "What, this old thing? I murdered my father." However, Lrrr's cape is extremely similar, if not identical, to the one he has worn throughout the series.<br />
**He may have actually killed [[Lrrr's father|his father]], who was last seen in "''[[Into the Wild Green Yonder]]''", and acquired an identical cape accordingly.<br />
**His claim might have been an outright lie, as an attempt to impress Grrl.<br />
*When they are broadcasting live, they are in the Planet Express building and then suddenly by [[the White House]].<br />
*No one should be dressed like the [[Brain Spawn]] because no one (except Fry) was able to remember that the brains tried to conquer and destroy Earth.<br />

<br />
"'''Lrrreconcilable Ndndifferences'''" is the ninety-ninth episode of ''[[Futurama]]'', the eleventh of the [[Season 6|sixth production season]] and the [[Broadcast season 7|seventh broadcast season]]. It aired 26 August, 2010 on [[Comedy Central]], and guest starred [[Katee Sackhoff]], [[Sergio Aragonés]] and ''Futurama'' creators [[Matt Groening]] and [[David X. Cohen]]. After a bungled [[Earth]] invasion, [[Omicronians|Omicronian]] leader [[Lrrr]] faces a mid-life crisis.<br />
<br />
== The Story ==<br />
=== Act I: "I am Lrrr, ruler of the planet Omicron Persei 8!" ===<br />
Stopping her husband watching ''[[The Scary Door]]'', [[Ndnd]] becomes fed up with [[Lrrr|Lrrr's]] lack of motivation to conquer other worlds. He reluctantly invades [[Earth]]. However, he arrives during [[Comic-Con Intergalactic|Comic-Con 3010]] and is mistaken for a costume contest participant and leaves dejected. Concurrently, [[Fry]] attempts to author [[Delivery-Boy Man (in-universe comic)|a superhero comic book]] featuring himself as the superhero saving a captured [[Leela]] from [[Invader X|a malevolent alien]]. The crew is unimpressed with the comic, with the exception of the back page of novelty toy ads for x-ray specs, sea monkeys, and [[Farnsworth Novelty Disintegrator Ray|the Professor's disintegration guns]], which are actually only teleportation guns. Leela also criticizes the comic, leaving Fry to figure out how to make the story more compelling.<br />
<br />
Back on [[Omicron Persei 8]], Ndnd learns of Lrrr's failure and kicks him out of their home. Lrrr returns to Earth, seeking shelter at the [[Planet Express headquarters]]. The crew diagnoses Lrrr and his marriage problems as symptomatic of a mid-life crisis. Leela encourages Lrrr to recommit himself to his marriage with Ndnd, but he listens instead to [[Bender]] and gets plastic surgery, flashy new clothes, and goes out to a club to meet new women. There he meets an attractive female [[Omicronians|Omicronian]] named [[Grrrl]]. While on a date with her, she reveals that she is actually a [[Humans|human]] woman from the Comic-Con wearing an Omicronian costume. Though she is very attracted to real Omicronians, Lrrr rejects her and seeks Leela's advice on how to win back Ndnd.<br />
<br />
=== Act II: "I'll do it for free." ===<br />
The crew diagnoses Lrrr and his marriage problems as symptomatic of a mid-life crisis. Leela encourages Lrrr to recommit himself to his marriage with Ndnd, but he listens instead to [[Bender]] and gets plastic surgery, flashy new clothes, and goes out to a club to meet new women. There he meets an attractive female [[Omicronians|Omicronian]] named [[Grrrl]]. While on a date with her, she reveals that she is actually a [[Humans|human]] woman from the Comic-Con wearing an Omicronian costume. Though she is very attracted to real Omicronians, Lrrr rejects her and seeks Leela's advice on how to win back Ndnd.<br />
Leela and the crew help Lrrr stage an invasion of Earth using a fake broadcast with the help of [[Orson Welles' head]] à la the 1938 ''{{w|War of Worlds}}'' radio broadcast. Ndnd is fooled, but so are the Earthican army, who surrender Earth immediately to Lrrr.<br />
<br />
=== Act III: "She is not the boss of you. I am the boss of you!" ===<br />
Leela scolds Lrrr, demanding that he end the charade and tell Ndnd the truth, but he hesitates due to Ndnd's renewed romantic interest and forces the [[Earthicans|citizens of Earth]] into slavery. During this time, Leela constantly nags Lrrr about telling Ndnd the truth, which causes Ndnd suspicion about their relationship. She confronts Lrrr, demanding to know if he is having an affair. Grrrl reappears, announcing that she loves Lrrr and will fight for him, brandishing a disintegration ray. Ndnd quickly takes the weapon and shoots Grrrl, causing her body to disappear. Ndnd reveals that she is not upset that Lrrr may have been minutely romantically involved with Grrrl, but that Lrrr allowed Leela to nag him, which Ndnd feels is her role and right as his wife. She invokes an Omicronian rite called [[Rrrmrrrmrrrfrrrmrrr or Consequences]] where Lrrr is reluctantly forced to prove his love for Ndnd by shooting Leela, whom he values as a friend, with the Farnsworth Novelty Disintegrator Ray.<br />
As he fires, Fry leaps in front of Leela, sacrificing his life. Ndnd is moved by Lrrr's demonstration of love and the two happily depart back to Omicron Persei 8. Leela is devastated by Fry's sacrifice. However, as the Omicronians depart, Grrrl reappears, shocking the crew. She reveals that the disintegration gun is merely one of the Professor's novelty teleportation guns that she purchased from an ad in the back of a comic book. She then begins to hit on Zoidberg who responds by saying of course he'll marry her. Realizing that Fry is alive, the crew find him back at [[Planet Express]], putting the finishing touches on his comic. Inspired by his own heroic actions, his super hero counterpart attempts to rescue Leela from the malevolent alien by leaping in front of its ray gun. Leela is pleased with the new ending and commends the comic book, giving Fry a kiss on the cheek.<br />
<br />
== Reception ==<br />
In its original American broadcast, "Lrrreconcilable Ndndifferences" was viewed by an estimated 1.981 million households, a bounce of 200,000 viewers since "[[The Prisoner of Benda]]" <ref>[http://tvbythenumbers.com/2010/08/27/more-cable-ratings-jersey-shore-burn-notice-royal-pains-still-on-top-futurama-rises-more/61303]</ref>.<br />

== Additional Info ==<br />
[[file:Well heads.png|thumb|left|[[Orson Welles' head]] in the [[Head Museum]], near ''[[Futurama]]'' voice actor [[Frank Welker]].]]<br />
<br />
=== Trivia ===<br />
*Once again, [[Maurice LaMarche]] reprises his Orson Welles impression and his parody of Welles' infamous "Frozen Peas" recording session, having previously reprised this impression for such diverse projects as the Brain in ''Pinky and the Brain'' and Welles himself in the film ''Ed Wood'' (although the physical incarnation of Welles was played by Vincent D'Onofrio) and the TV shows ''The Critic'', and ''The Simpsons''.<br />
*An actual "[[Delivery-Boy Man]]" comic, based on the events of this episode, was released as a promotional item at Comic Con 2010 a month prior to its airing.<br />
*This is the second time that Fry jumps in the way of peril to save Leela.<br />
*The heads of [[Frank Welker]] and {{w|H. G. Wells}} among others can be seen beside [[Orson Welles' head]]. <br />
**Maybe they are "stored" in alphabetical order.<br />
*This is the fourth time we see Matt Groening's head, the previous times being in "[[Space Pilot 3000]]", ''[[Bender's Big Score]]'' and ''[[Into the Wild Green Yonder]]''.<br />
<br />
=== Allusions ===<br />
<br />
*'{{w|Peace With Honor}}' was a phrase [[Richard Nixon's head|Nixon]] used to explain the US withdrawal from Vietnam near the end of the Vietnam War.<br />
*[[Lrrr]] watches an episode of "[[The Scary Door]]" which is a reference to "The Twilight Zone"<br />
*There is a "War Of The Worlds" reference that includes Orson Welles recreating his 1938 radio broadcast based on H. G. Wells' book of the same title.<br />
*During the fake broadcast of an invasion, Orson Welles says, "We interrupt our program of the Jonas Brothers and their Orchestra...". A reference to the pop band, The Jonas Brothers and to ''Ramon Raquello and His Orchestra'', which was 'interrupted' in the original "War Of The Worlds" radio broadcast.<br />
*[[Lrrr]] brings back the face of [[J.J. Abrams]], a famous movie director as well as the creator of "{{w|Lost}}".<br />
*Bender's phrase "Dork calling Orson" when Fry is calling Orson Wells is a reference to the 1978-1982 Robin Williams sitcom {{w|Mork & Mindy}}.<br />

"'''The Prisoner of Benda'''" is the ninety-eighth episode of ''[[Futurama]]'', the tenth of the [[Season 6|sixth production season]] and the [[Broadcast season 7|seventh broadcast season]]. [[Professor Hubert J. Farnsworth|The Professor]] and [[Amy Wong|Amy]] are cleaning up a [[The Mind-Switcher|mind-switching machine]] that switches the crew members' minds, but everything goes haywire and they can't change back.<br />
<br />
== The story ==<br />
<br />
=== Act I: "We're just the people this Mind-Switcher was made for by us!" ===<br />
[[file:The Mind-Switcher.jpg|thumb|left|225px|[[Professor Hubert J. Farnsworth|The Professor]] and [[Amy Wong|Amy]] decide to try out [[The Mind-Switcher]].]]<br />
[[Bender Bending Rodriguez|Bender]] is watching the news, and finds out that [[Emperor Nikolai]] of [[Robo-Hungary|the Robo-Hungarian Empire]] is visiting [[New New York]] in his yacht, the [[RMS Overkill|RMS ''Overkill'']]. He plans on stealing the Emperor's crown, but he cannot get his co-workers to help him by doing specific jobs (Amy seducing the guards, Zoidberg cutting the alarm wire, and Fry taking the fall).<br />
Meanwhile, [[Amy Wong|Amy]] and [[Professor Hubert J. Farnsworth|the Professor]] put the finishing touches on [[the Mind-Switcher]]. The Professor reveals that he had always wanted to live life to the extreme while he was young, and Amy reveals that she still has that demonic food lust from way back, despite having obtained an elegant figure since [[2997]]. They decide to switch minds, so that the Professor could use Amy's young body to do extreme sports, and Amy could eat all she wants in the Professor's old body, since he was so thin.<br />
However, when they try to switch back into their normal bodies, they find out that the Mind-Switcher only works once with the same pair of people. They try to solve this problem by putting Farnsworth's mind in Bender's body, and Bender's mind in Amy's body. However, the Professor realizes that it wouldn't work, and Bender runs off with Amy's body to pull of the heist.<br />
Amy finds out that it is difficult to eat with an elderly digestive system, and she convinces [[Turanga Leela|Leela]] to switch bodies with her, so that Leela could get the Professor's senior discount at the movies. Fry is disgusted that Leela is in the Professor, and she claims that Fry is shallow, and had only loved her for her body.<br />
Meanwhile, Bender in Amy's body swims to Nikolai's yacht, where he ties up his guard and cousin [[Basil]]. However, he is then caught by Nikolai.<br />
<br />
=== Act II: "A man could give her a toke of her own medicine." ===<br />
[[file:Nonchalanto falling.jpg|thumb|left|225px|[[Professor Hubert J. Farnsworth|The Professor]] joins [[Circus Roboticus|a circus]] in [[Bender Bending Rodríguez|Bender's]] body.]]<br />
Bender in Amy's body proves that he is a Bending robot to Nikolai and Basil. Nikolai reveals to Bender that he had always wanted to live the life of a normal person, without all the fame and fortune of an Emperor. Bender decides to use this to his advantage, by telling him that he could put his mind into his real Bending Unit body, and in exchange, Bender will live the life of an Emperor in Nikolai's body. The two of them go back to Planet Express where Bender finds out that the Professor, who was in Bender's body, ran off to join [[Circus Roboticus]] as a daredevil named "Nonchalanto". Needing a robot body for the Emperor to reside in, Bender switches minds with [[Wash Bucket]], and then switches minds with Emperor Nikolai, so that Nikolai had Wash Bucket's body, and Bender had Nikolai's body. Meanwhile, Fry decides to get revenge on Leela by putting himself in a hideous body and prove that she is shallow too. He switches minds with [[Dr. John A. Zoidberg|Zoidberg]] so that now Fry has Zoidberg's body and Zoidberg has Fry's body. Nikolai in Wash Bucket's body thinks that Zoidberg in Fry's body is his human friend as Bender said, and Zoidberg pretends to be Fry so that he could have a companion. Fry in Zoidberg's body confronts Leela in the Professor's body. In order to prove that neither of them are shallow, they both decide to go on a date at [[Elzar's Fine Cuisine]]. Leela finds out that her body is getting ruined by Amy, who is making it obese by eating butter. Hermes Conrad agrees to switch bodies with her, so that Hermes would be in Leela's body. Meanwhile, Bender is enjoying life as an Emperor, but is shocked when Nikolai's fiancée [[Princess Flavia]] and Basil pull out guns and swords to assassinate him.<br />
<br />
=== Act III: "This is for Big Bertha." ===<br />
[[File:Prisoner of Benda Theorem on Chalkboard.png|thumb|left|225px|The solution to the problems.]]<br />
Fry in Zoidberg, and Leela in the Professor go for a meal at Elzar's, both trying to repulse the other as much as possible with their new bodies. They both try to prove to each other that they are not shallow by making out on the table at the restaurant, as Amy in Hermes' body, and many others, watch. Meanwhile, Fry's real body, occupied by Zoidberg, takes Nikolai in Wash Bucket's body to [[Robot Arms Apartments|Fry and Bender's apartment]], despite the fact that neither of them had ever been there. Zoidberg pulls out a stove which creates a gas leak. Nikolai asks Zoidberg to light his cigar and they blow up the apartment. As this is happening, Bender in Nikolai's body manages to get back to the mainland of [[New New York]], with Basil and Flavia shooting at him from behind. He is chased into the [[United Nations]] building where Nikolai was supposed to give a speech. However, Basil runs in after him with a sword and attacks him on live television. Meanwhile, Wash Bucket in Amy's body finds Scruffy in his quarters and confesses her love to him. She wants the two of them to move to another city and live together, but Scruffy says no, because in the back of their minds they would know that it wouldn't be right. Professor Farnsworth, still in Bender at the Circus Roboticus, watches the fight at the UN on the [[TV Robot]]. He wants to help Bender, but cannot get there in time. A howitzer named [[Big Bertha]] volunteers to shoot him there, but is badly injured because of the size of Bender's body. The Professor lands on the United Nations building roof. With his own sword, he starts a swordfight with Bassor before he could do any harm to Bender in Nikolai. Meanwhile, the making out of Fry and Leela, in Zoidberg and the Professor, had moved back to Leela's place. After having sex, the two of them are surprised to see Bender's body fighting with Basil on TV. The Professor in Bender's body wins by opening his door and revealing twenty [[Robot Clowns]], all wielding swords of their own, and they kill Basil. Later, at Planet Express, [[Ethan 'Bubblegum' Tate|Bubblegum Tate]] and [['Sweet' Clyde Dixon|Sweet Clyde]] use math to find out a way to get everyone in their original bodies, as shown below. They use it and the episode ends with everyone back to normal and Bender realizing that he forgot the crown in Nikolai's compartment.<br />
<br />
== Production ==<br />
According to [[David X. Cohen]], writer [[Ken Keeler]] penned a theorem (and proof thereof) based on group theory, then used it to explain a plot twist in this episode.<ref name="aps-position">{{cite web |url=http://www.aps.org/publications/apsnews/201005/profiles.cfm |title=Profiles in Versatility: |publisher=American Physics Society |author=Levine, Alaina G. |accessdate=2010-05-15 |quote=In an ''APS News'' exclusive, Cohen reveals for the first time that in the 10th episode of the upcoming season, tentatively entitled "The Prisoner of Benda", a theorem based on group theory was specifically written (and proven!) by staffer/PhD mathematician Ken Keeler to explain a plot twist.}}</ref><br />
<br />
Writer [[Eric Rogers]] calls "The Prisoner of Benda" his favorite ''Futurama'' episode alongside "[[Jurassic Bark]]", "because it may be the epitome of what this series attempts to do every week: the perfect blend of science fiction and bust-a-gut humor".<ref>[http://www.gotfuturama.com/Information/Articles/Eric_Rogers_Interview.dhtml CGEF Interview with<br />
Eric Rogers]</ref><br />
<br />
<br />
== The theorem ==<br />
<br />
=== The inversion ===<br />
<br />
Keeler uses the method outlined in the proof to restore all minds to their respective bodies. Here are his transpositions. He uses thirteen switches total: <br />
<br />
* Fry's body (receiving Sweet Clyde's mind) ↔ Sweet Clyde's body (receiving Dr Zoidberg's mind)<br />
* Dr Zoidberg's body (receiving Bubblegum Tate's mind) ↔ Bubblegum Tate's body (receiving Fry's mind)<br />
* Sweet Clyde's body (receiving Bubblegum Tate's mind) ↔ Dr Zoidberg's body (receiving Dr Zoidberg's mind)<br />
* Bubblegum Tate's body (receiving Sweet Clyde's mind) ↔ Fry's body (receiving Fry's mind)<br />
* Professor Farnsworth's body (receiving Bubblegum Tate's mind) ↔ Sweet Clyde's body (receiving Leela's mind)<br />
* Washbucket's body (receiving Sweet Clyde's mind) ↔ Bubblegum Tate's body (receiving The Emperor's mind)<br />
* Sweet Clyde's body (receiving Hermes's mind) ↔ Leela's body (receiving Leela's mind)<br />
* Bubblegum Tate's body (receiving Bender's mind) ↔ The Emperor's body (receiving The Emperor's mind)<br />
* Hermes's body (receiving Hermes's mind) ↔ Sweet Clyde's body (receiving Amy's mind)<br />
* Bender's body (receiving Bender's mind) ↔ Bubblegum Tate's body (receiving Professor Farnsworth's mind)<br />
* Sweet Clyde's body (receiving Washbucket's mind) ↔ Amy's body (receiving Amy's mind)<br />
* Bubblegum Tate's body (receiving Bubblegum Tate's mind) ↔ Professor Farnsworth's body (receiving Professor Farnsworth's mind)<br />
* Washbucket's body (receiving Washbucket's mind) ↔ Sweet Clyde's body (receiving Sweet Clyde's mind)<br />
<br />
However, this is not the least number of switches possible in this scenario. Because Fry and Zoidberg only switched with each other and no one else, and there is an odd number (1) of other switched groups of bodies, they could have been used as the two spare bodies, completing the restoration in only nine switches: <br />
<br />
* Professor Farnsworth's body (receiving Zoidberg's mind) ↔ Fry's body (receiving Leela's mind)<br />
* Washbucket's body (receiving Fry's mind) ↔ Zoidberg's body (receiving The Emperor's mind)<br />
* Fry's body (receiving Hermes's mind) ↔ Leela's body (receiving Leela's mind)<br />
* Zoidberg's body (receiving Bender's mind) ↔ The Emperor's body (receiving The Emperor's mind)<br />
* Hermes's body (receiving Hermes's mind) ↔ Fry's body (receiving Amy's mind)<br />
* Bender's body (receiving Bender's mind) ↔ Zoidberg's body (receiving Professor Farnsworth's mind)<br />
* Fry's body (receiving Washbucket's mind) ↔ Amy's body (receiving Amy's mind)<br />
* Zoidberg's body (receiving Zoidberg's mind) ↔ Professor Farnsworth's body (receiving Professor Farnsworth's mind)<br />
* Washbucket's body (receiving Washbucket's mind) ↔ Fry's body (receiving Fry's mind) <br />
<br />
Had there been an even number of distinct switched groups, Fry's mind and Zoidberg's mind would have ended up back in the opposite bodies, and having already switched, they could not be switched back without two spare bodies. The solution given in the theorem works for all scenarios.<br />
<br />
=== The proof ===<br />
[[File:Prisoner of Benda Theorem on Chalkboard.png|thumb|300px|right|A screenshot of the proof, transcribed to the left. Click to enlarge.]]<br />
<br />
First let π be some k-cycle on [n] = {1 ... n} WLOG [without loss of generality] write:<br />
π = 1 2 ... k k+1 ... n<br />
2 3 ... 1 k+1 ... n<br />
<br />
Let <a,b> represent the transposition that switches the contents of a and b.<br />
By hypothesis π is generated by DISTINCT switches on [n].<br />
Introduce two "new bodies" {x,y} and write<br />
π* = 1 2 ... k k+1 ... n x y<br />
2 3 ... 1 k+1 ... n x y<br />
<br />
For any i=1 ... k let σ be the (l-to-r) series of switches<br />
σ = (<x,1> <x,2> ... <x,i>) (<y,i+1> <y,i+2> ... <y,k>) (<x,i+1>) (<y,1>)<br />
<br />
Note each switch exchanges an element of [n] with one of {x,y} so they are all distinct from the switches within [n] that generated π and also from <x,y>. By routine verification<br />
π* σ = 1 2 ... n x y<br />
1 2 ... n y x<br />
<br />
i. e. σ reverts the k-cycle and leaves x and y switched (without performing <x,y>).<br />
<br />
NOW let π be an ARBITRARY permutation on [n]. It consists of disjoint (nontrivial) cycles and each can be inverted as above in sequence after which x and y can be switched if necessary via <x,y>, as was desired.<br />
<br />
=== Solution algorithm in plain English ===<br />
Step 1: Have everybody who's messed up arrange themselves in circles, each facing the body their mind should land in (e.g., if Fry's mind is in Zoidberg's body, then the Zoidberg body should face the Fry body).<br />
<br />
Step 2: Go get two "fresh" (as of yet never mind-swapped) people. Let's call them Helper A and Helper B.<br />
<br />
Step 3: Fix the circles one by one as follows:<br />
<br />
3.0) Start each time with Helper A and Helper B's minds in either their own or each other's bodies<br />
<br />
3.1) Pick any circle of messed-up people you like and unwrap it into a line with whoever you like at the front<br />
<br />
3.2) Swap the mind at the front of the line into Helper A's body<br />
<br />
3.3) From back to front, have everybody in the line swap minds with Helper B's body in turn. (This moves each mind in the line, apart from the front one, forward into the right body)<br />
<br />
3.4) Swap the mind in Helper A's body back where it belongs, into the body at the back of the line. Now the circle/line has been completely fixed. The one side effect is that for each time a circle is fixed, the Helpers' minds will switch places, but that's OK, see below<br />
<br />
Step 4: At the very end, after all the circles have been fixed, mind-swap the two Helpers if necessary (i.e., in case there was originally an odd number of messed-up circles)<br />
<br />
Note: This is not the exact algorithm used in the show. This algorithm sets i = 1 in the proof provided by the show, whereas you could actually set i to be any number from 1 to k. This algorithm also reverses the order of the final two switches in the provided proof. Explained simply, the provided proof's exact method for fixing any circle is this: Helper A could switch in turn back-to-front starting and stopping at any points in the circle, then Helper B would switch back-to-front through the remainder of the circle, Helper A would then switch with the first member of Helper B's arc, and Helper B would then switch with the first member of Helper A's arc.<br />
<br />
== Reception ==<br />
In its original American broadcast, "The Prisoner of Benda" was viewed by an estimated 1.774 million households, down 150,000 viewers since "[[A Clockwork Origin]]" <ref>[http://tvbythenumbers.com/2010/08/20/more-thursday-cable-project-runaway-up-futurama-real-housewives-down/60591]</ref>.<br />
<br />
== Additional Info ==<br />
<br />
=== Allusions ===<br />
* The title of the episode and Bender's plot of posing as an emperor is a reference to the 1894 novel {{w|The Prisoner of Zenda}} (as well as its numerous adaptions).<br />
* The title caption refers to {{w|Cygnus X-1}}, which is a black hole. If nothing can escape from a black hole, then clearly anything that happens in Cygnus X-1 will stay in Cygnus X-1.<br />
* [[Turanga Leela|Leela]] makes several mentions of {{w|Nicolas Cage}} movies, possibly the {{w|National Treasure (franchise)|National Treasure}} series and the Astro Boy movie.<br />
* [[Bender Bending Rodriguez|Bender]] in [[Amy Wong|Amy's]] body convinces [[Emperor Nikolai]] that he is a robot by dancing {{w|Michael Jackson}}'s famous {{w|Moonwalk (dance)|Moonwalk}}.<br />
* In order to show that he is a robot, [[Bender Bending Rodriguez|Bender]], in [[Amy Wong|Amy's]] body, tells [[Emperor Nikolai]] to ask him something only a robot would know. This is referred to as a ''Reverse Turing Test'' and is a reference to the {{w|Turing Test|Turing Test}}, in which person tries to distinguish between a machine and a human by asking questions.<br />
* [[Hermes Conrad|Hermes]] says that [[Amy Wong|Amy]] (in the body of Leela) "makes {{w|Fat Albert and the Cosby Kids|Fat Albert}} look like normal Albert". This may also be a callback to Fry's line, "He makes Speedy Gonzales look like regular Gonzales" from the episode "[[War Is the H-Word]]".<br />
* [[Big Bertha]], a robot with a cannon stomach, is a reference to the German {{w|Big Bertha (howitzer)|Big Bertha howitzer}}.<br />
* The idea of one-way-mind-swapping-machine is very similar to the one in the {{w|Stargate_SG-1|Stargate SG-1}} Season Two episode "Holiday". However, in that instance, the limitation was a feature of the machine's design rather than the bodies' development of a resistance.<br />
* The concept of a member of royalty temporarily switching lives with an ordinary person is similar to the story {{w|The Prince and the Pauper}}.<br />
* The UN Conference is portrayed as nightclub act in Vegas with the opening act delivered by "Peaches and Herzegovina" which is a play on both the name of Eastern European nation {{w|Bosnia and Herzegovina}} and American disco/soul duo "{{w|Peaches & Herb}}".<br />
* An occurrence of mind switching was seen in the original {{w|Star_trek|Star Trek}} series in a third season episode called {{w|Turnabout_Intruder|"Turnabout Intruder"}}. James T. Kirk's body is forcefully taken by Dr. Janice Lester (a former lover of Kirk's) and Kirk is forced to use Lester's body to convince the crew members of the mind change. Among other issues, Lester's and Kirk's voices remain in their respective bodies, so swaying crew members' beliefs of the switch proves difficult.<br />
* [[Leela]] parodies the lyrics of the spoken intro of Sir Mix-a-Lot's "''Baby got back''" when she talks about her eye.<br />
<br />
=== Trivia ===<br />
* This is the third episode of [[Season 6]] to use a [[cold opening]] (alongside "[[Rebirth]]" and "[[That Darn Katz!]]"). Cold openings were previously used most prominently in Seasons [[Season 1|1]] and [[Season 2|2]].<br />
* This is the third animated TV show in which a character voiced by John DiMaggio switches bodies with someone and the voice moves with the character into the new body. The other two were the "Kim Possible" episode "Mind Games", which originally aired in 2002, with DiMaggio voicing Dr. Drakken and the "Penguins Of Madagascar" episode "Roger Doger", aired in 2009, with DiMaggio voicing Rico.<br />
* When Amy (in the Professor's body) is eating ribs, she says "I have died" in Cantonese.<br />
<br />
=== Continuity ===<br />
* This is the third time Leela has shown concern about her eye, the previous being "[[The Cyber House Rules]]" and "''[[Bender's Big Score]]''".<br />
* Yet again [[Amy Wong|Amy's]] childhood obesity is a theme, previously mentioned in episodes such as "[[Teenage Mutant Leela's Hurdles]]" and "''[[Into the Wild Green Yonder]]''".<br />
* [[Bender Bending Rodriguez|Bender]] claims he is sixty percent storage space. [[Bender Bending Rodríguez#Composition|A recurring joke]] is that someone claims Bender is a certain percent of something, with the total by now adding up to much more than 100%.<br />
* [[Philip J. Fry|Fry]] seems to be excited by the idea of [[Turanga Leela|Leela's]] mind in [[Amy Wong|Amy's]] body, a revisiting to the [[Fry-Amy relationship]].<br />
* [[Professor Hubert J. Farnsworth|The Professor]] calls [[Bender Bending Rodriguez|Bender's]] body invincible, though only a few episodes earlier ("[[Lethal Inspection]]") we found out that it wasn't.<br />
** Of course, in comparison to the Professor's old and decrepit body, he may be feeling like he is invincible in Bender's (as it can certainly stand up to much more punishment than his own 170+ -years-old body). It could simply be a matter of perception, not actual "invincibility".<br />
** If you remember, in "[[Rebirth]]", Bender was blown up by one of the Professor's doomsday devices. He also had 2 bombs detonate inside his compartment in "[[War Is the H-Word]]". Another display of the bending units durability is in "[[Bendless Love]]", Flexo was crushed under an unbendable girder and later stated that if he had remained crushed he would have died in hundreds of years, proving that the bending units are very near invincible. The only known way being via his self-destruct button which is located on his body as revealed in "[[A Head in the Polls]]" or the destruct code revealed in "[[Where No Fan Has Gone Before]]".<br />
* The episode brings a big step in the [[Fry-Leela relationship]], as they have sex for the first time known, though it should be noted that neither is in their own body at the time.<br />
** This is the first time the two have had intercourse in canon, but in "[[Anthology of Interest I]]", during the simulation "Dial L For Leela", Leela was forced to keep Fry silent about the recent murders she committed by having sex with Fry, while in their own bodies. However, "Anthology Of Interest I" can't be regarded as canon as it was during a "what-if" scenario.<br />
** In "[[Time Keeps on Slippin']]" Fry and Leela married and divorced. It is likely they consummated their union, though the time-slips prevented them from remembering.<br />
*** This is very unlikely, as Fry and Leela do not remember why they got married and Leela goes under the impression that Fry tricked her during the whole time lapse between the marriage and the divorce.<br />
* The Professor is shown using a mind-switching device back in ''[[Bender's Game]]'', but since he is seen here as having just completed it, he must have still been testing it (and subsequently killing monkeys) back then. Though this device remained attached to the monkey and the Professor the whole time. This may not have been actual mind transference, or this may have been a prototype device.<br />
* In "[[Bendless Love]]" Bender claims to remember his own birth, having been built "four years ago" in 2998. Later in "[[Lethal Inspection]]"; a very different construction of Bender is remembered by Hermes, although no year is given Hermes looks like he did at the 2980 Olympics. This episode shows that Hermes, having gained weight and cut his hair, was employed at Planet Express and was employee of the year in 2993, 2994, 2996 and 2998. Bender also confirmed not remembering seeing Hermes as Inspector #5. Therefore we can conclude that the events of "Lethal Inspection" occurred prior to 2993 or early in that year, Bender does not remember his real birth and Bending Units of his model were, for reasons unknown, built in two or more phases with core components, such as the backup unit, being retained during an upgrade to a larger and possibly more specialised body.<br />
* Amy is shown as [[Planet Express]] Employee of The Year in 2992 and 2997, but she has only been [[Professor Hubert J. Farnsworth|the Professor]]'s intern since 2998.<br />
** Amy could have been working as a different employee for him before becoming his intern.<br />
* Someone in the crowd shouts, "I LOVE YOU, YOUR MAJESTY!!!" Bender, in the Emperor's body, replies, "Shut up, Madame Ambassador, I know it." This is a callback to a similar gag in "[[Put Your Head on My Shoulder]]".<br />
*[[Bender]] says that he has always dreamed of becoming an Emperor. This may explain why he dressed up himself as {{w|Napoleon Bonaparte|Napoleon}} in "[[Insane in the Mainframe]]".<br />
<br />
=== Goofs ===<br />
*Fry and Bender's apartment, which has the same number as before, looks much different from earlier appearances (as in "[[The Late Philip J. Fry]]"). While previously being a small apartment (Bender's room) with a giant sideroom (Fry's), it now does not have the small apartment and it includes a kitchen. (The kitchen had been seen previously, such as in ''[[Bender's Game]]''.)<br />
*Leela's building had been destroyed by the alien scammers in ''[[Bender's Big Score]]'' to make room for a Panda preserve.<br />
*When Bertha is wheeling away after the first time the Professor, in Bender's body, propositions switching to a younger body, only one of her wheels are actually the turning, the one furthest from the viewer is stationary even while the other is not.<br />
*It was established in the episode "[[Why Must I Be a Crustacean in Love]]" that, once a male [[Decapodians|Decapodian]] releases his male jelly, he dies. However, in this episode, Fry, who was in Zoidberg's body, wound up having intercourse with Leela, who was in the Professor's body, and did not die. <br />
**It could be that, to die, a Decapodian needs to mate with another Decapodian.<br />
**It could be that, Leela was keen to use her new appendage, therefore it would be Farnsworth's male jelly, not Zoidberg's, that was released.<br />
**Mating and having sex are not necessarily the same thing for all species. The releasing of male jelly might be voluntary.<br />
**[[Dr. John A. Zoidberg|Zoidberg's]] male jelly may only be produced during his mating season. Making it so that there was nothing to release. As for the male jelly in "[[Why Must I Be a Crustacean in Love]]", his body probably broke it down and reabsorbed it as in nature.<br />
*When finishing the proof, Sweet Clyde is shown to wear glasses however in the remaining shots of the episodes these glasses never appear again.<br />
*After everyone swaps back into their original bodies, Hermes is as fat as usual.<br />
**Given how abnormally fast he lost the weight originally, he could have gained it back just as fast.<br />

"'''Amazon Women in the Mood'''" is the thirty-third episode of ''[[Futurama]]'', the first of the [[Season 3|third production season]] and the fifth of the [[Broadcast season 3|third broadcast season]]. It aired 4 February, 2001 on FOX. It guest stars [[Beatrice Arthur]] as the [[Femputer]]. After [[Kif Kroker|Kif]] has shown his affection for [[Amy Wong|Amy]], [[Zapp Brannigan|Zapp]] arranges a double half-date with [[Turanga Leela|Leela]] and Kif and Amy. However, their restaurant crashes into [[Planet Amazonia|a planet]], and [[Bender Bending Rodríguez|Bender]] and [[Philip J. Fry|Fry]] discovers they have been captured by a bunch of [[Amazonians]].<br />
<br />
== The Story ==<br />
=== Act I: "Little Nibbler's been coughing up hairballs!" ===<br />
Both [[Nibbler]] and [[Philip J. Fry|Fry]] have been coughing up hairballs, though Nibbler seems to have Fry beaten. [[Hermes Conrad|Hermes]] nominates [[Dr. John Zoidberg|Dr. Zoidberg]] to clean up the mess, but during a vote, Zoidberg is mysteriously silent. Fry declares, "He's dead." But then Zoidberg enters the room, revealing that the "corpse" was in fact Zoidberg's shell, which he moulted after having outgrown it. He picks up the shell and takes it to the dumpser out back. After he leaves, [[Amy Wong|Amy]]'s cell-phone rings. She answers, only to hear incomprehensible mumbling, then the caller hangs up.<br />
<br />
The person on the other end is revealed to be [[Kif Kroker|Lieutenant Kroker]], who has been infatuated with Amy since the incident aboard the [[Titanic]] ([[A Flight to Remember|1ACV10]]). After revealing this to [[Zapp Brannigan|Zapp]], Zapp realizes that Amy knows [[Turanga Leela|Leela]], whom he is constantly trying to seduce. Zapp contacts Leela and, after a negotiation, sets up half a double-date.<br />
<br />
=== Act II: "Sir, I don't go out on many dates." ===<br />
For the date, they all go to Le Palm d'Orbit, a space-based restaurant with Karaoke. Zapp gives Kif his book of pickup lines, which Kif then reads to Amy attempting to impress her. Unfortunately, lines such as "I find the most erotic part of the woman is the boobies," causes Leela to proclaim the date over. After a brief trip to the bathroom to fix their makeup, they begin storming out but are stopped by Kif's emotional Karaoke performance. Kif's performance, however, is interruped by Zapp's horrible, spoken-word rendition of "Lola" in which he's replaced the name Lola with Leela.<br />
<br />
All the patrons of the resaurant flee Zapp's "singing" in the escape pods. Leela tells Zapp to call them a space-taxi, but he declines, opting instead to fly the restaurant himself despite the objection of Kif. Shortly thereafter, he crashes the ship onto [[Planet Amazonia]].<br />
<br />
=== Act III: "Where are all the men in your society?" ===<br />
Back at [[Planet Express]], Zoidberg tries on some shells from his new catalogue. However, his stereotypical portrayal of Mexicans offends [[Bender Bending Rodriguez|Bender]], who is a Mexican ("Hecho en México"). Zoidberg tries another shell (a breezy summer number), but Hermes informs him that the Planet Express health plan only covers one kind of replacement shell: A plain white one with a bar code across the front.<br />
<br />
Fry is worried that Leela and Amy haven't returned from their half-date, but when he attempts to call the restaurant, he is informed that it has crashed into a planet. He and Bender set off to rescue the se&ntilde;oritas.<br />
<br />
Meanwhile, Leela is wondering what planet they're on, when Zapp claims the sector is uncharted (Though Kif says he lost the chart). The ground begins to pound, and the four hide behind the Karaoke machine. Three [[Amazonians]] emerge from the jungle, and although they assume there's nobody around, Zapp reveals himself before they can leave. Zapp is cut off before he can finish his pickup line, and the four are dragged off into the jungle.<br />
<br />
Fry and Bender land on the planet and find the prisoners being led by a chain. Before they can formulate a plan, they are discovered and captured. The women are set free while the men are kept prisoner. After a short tour of the village, they are taken to the leader of Amazonian society, who will decide their fate. The leader is a [[femputer]] who hates men. The Femputer takes her leave to decide the men's fate.<br />
<br />
The men are chained to the wall of the chamber. The Amazonians ask what men are used for on Earth, and Amy informs them. The Amazonians call this act "snoo-snoo", and reveal that the last men who visited Amazonia died of crushed pelvises. The Fem-puter returns and sentences the men to death&#8230; by ''snoo-snoo''.<br />
<br />
=== Act IV: "Death by snoo-snoo!" ===<br />
Leela makes an appeal for her friends, but the Fem-puter is angered by the knowledge that the men made fun of their basketball team. Bender, however, is released on the basis that he's a man''bot'', not a man.<br />
<br />
Zapp is sentenced to be snoo-snoo'd by the large women; Fry by the petite women; Kif, being the most attractive, by the most beautiful women, followed by the large women, then the petite women, then the large women again. Before the punishment commences, Kif reveals that the things he said on the date were Zapp's idea, and that he was the one calling and hanging up. He tells Amy that he loves her.<br />
<br />
The men are taken into the snoo-snoo chambers, and Leela tells Bender to interface with the Femputer to rescue the men from their fate.<br />
<br />
=== Act V: "Where go beautiful man?" ===<br />
Bender sneaks past the guards, who are engaged in a debate about which of them is fat. While overriding the CPU with a lead pipe, a panel on the Fem-puter falls open, revealing that there is a [[fembot]] operating the Femputer. The fembot tells Bender that she disguised herself to rule the Amazonians, because of her oppression on her homeworld, which was ruled by a manputer that was really a manbot.<br />
<br />
In the snoo-snoo chambers, the punishment continues, and Leela decides that Bender is taking too long. She fruitlessly attacks each Amazonian, but one of them grabs her, throws her down, and sits on her. Amy, meanwhile, has disguised herself to infiltrate the snoo-snoo chamber containing Kif, and absconds with him. However, she is cornered in the Femputer chamber, where the Femputer orders the Amazonians to release all the prisoners (and demands gold, somehow in Bender's voice).<br />
<br />
Back at Planet Express, Zoidberg has found a new shell. This one looks just like his old one, and he found it in the same dumpster. This one had a racoon inside, though. Fry and Zapp are in pelvic casts, apparently having suffered at least partially crushed pelvises. Kif probably avoided this fate due to the fact that his kind don't have bones. Kif asks Amy what she'd like to do, and she whispers something in his ear. His response is flustered, incomprehensible mumbling.<br />
<br />
== Additional Info ==<br />
=== Trivia ===<br />
*Sign at Le Palm D'Orbit lobby reads "Palm D'Orbit Coat Check 25 cent Surcharge Each Sleeve Over 9". The centipede walking away from the coat check has 14 sleeves on his shirt, but may have more on his coat. This means he paid at least $1.25 extra on his coat check.<br />
*Le Palm D'Orbit is likely a reference to ''{{w|The_Palm_(restaurant)|The Palm Restaurant}}'', a New York City based chain of fine dining steakhouses known for high prices.<br />
*Kif has a bouquet of daffodils, maintaining the daffodil's lead of most popular Futurama flower.<br />
*Zapp's spoken-word performance of 'Leela' is a reference to William Shatner's spoken-word versions (most notably Rocketman) of many popular songs (as well as many original songs). He also refers to himself as the Velour Fog, a play on Mel Torme's nickname, the Velvet Fog.<br />
*[[List of song performances|Songs performed]] on the Karaoke:<br />
** ''{{w|Funky Town}}'' by ''Lipps Inc.'' performed by [[Morbo]]<br />
** ''{{w|Total Eclipse of the Heart}}'' by ''Bonnie Tyler'' performed by Kif.<br />
** Zapp's version of ''{{w|Lola (song)|Lola}}'' by ''the Kinks''.<br />
*When Leela looks into the ripples in the pond caused by vibration's her reflection momentarily gives her the appearance of a two eyed human, foreshadowing the events in the episode "[[The Cyber House Rules]]".<br />
*This is the #1 episode on IGN's list of [http://tv.ign.com/articles/716/716663p3.html Top 25 Futurama Episodes].<br />
*Even though Amy's parents introduced Amy to Kif and encouraged her to date him, they never seemed to accept him in later on episodes. This may be because he presumably lost his title as captain after the crash of the [[Titanic]].<br />
*Zapp's line "She is built like a steakhouse but handles like a bistro." may be a reference to starship Bistromath from the Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy series.<br />
* Although Fry was fired by the end of the previous episode ("[[The Cryonic Woman]]"), he is back working at Planet Express in this episode without any explanation given.<br />
*This is the third time we hear Amy speaking chinese since {{e|1ACV02}} & {{e|2ACV12}}.<br />
*Amy will speak chinese in {{f|1}}, {{f|4}}, {{e|6ACV08}}, & {{e|6ACV10}}.<br />
<br />
=== Goofs ===<br />
*Amy puts lipstick on before Kif's Karaoke performance, but after Zapp's performance, her lipstick is gone.<br />
*When Leela is looking at her two-eyed reflection in the puddle, the rip in her tank top is on the wrong side.<br />
*At the end when Bender says "If she calls, I'm not here," his chest cabinet is open but, when it zooms out to show the gold he's carrying, the sound for opening his cabinet can be heard.<br />
**He may have been opening his compartment as the camera was zooming out.<br />

"'''The Deep South'''" is the twenty-fifth episode of ''[[Futurama]]'', the twelfth of the [[Season 2|second production season]] and sixteenth of the [[Broadcast season 2|second broadcast season]]. It aired 16 April, 2000 on FOX. It guest stars [[Donovan Leith]] as himself and [[Parker Posey]] as [[Umbriel]]. After being stranded on the bottom of the sea, [[Philip J. Fry|Fry]] meets a mermaid, on the sea bed, they discover the lost city of [[Atlanta]].<br />
<br />
== The Story ==<br />
=== Act I: "Sweet Zombie Jesus! It's huge!" ===<br />
[[Hermes Conrad|Hermes]] has requisitioned a pet license for [[Nibbler]], but there has been a mixup and he got a fishing license instead - a mandatory one, too. Thus the crew is forced to go fishing, and they all take the [[Planet Express Ship]] and travel to the exact center of the Atlantic Ocean, where the ship stays in hover mode and everyone is using different methods to attract and catch fish. [[Philip J. Fry|Fry]] and Hermes stick with old-fashioned fishing rods, while [[Bender Bending Rodriguez|Bender]] uses a laser-guided one. [[Turanga Leela|Leela]] aims higher with a harpoon, and the [[Professor Hubert J. Farnsworth|Professor]] experiments with Fish Pheromone which makes him immensely popular with [[Dr. John Zoidberg|Zoidberg]]. As Bender does not catch anything, he bends a parasol to get a giant hook and attaches it to the ships [[Diamond-Filament Tether]]. As the sun sets, they all pull in their lines and prepare to return home, but Bender's giant hook has attracted a [[Colossal-Mouth Bass]] which pulls the PE ship under the waves despite Zoidbergs best efforts to cut the unbreakable tether.<br />
<br />
=== Act II: "A mermaid!" ===<br />
The bass pulls the ship to the ocean floor, about three miles deep, then escapes from the hook. The crew works to bring the ship back to working order, but the engines will not work under water and there is no food. Leela divides the crew in two teams - she and the Professor will work on the ship's drives, while Zoidberg and Bender, who can both survive at this depth, will look for food as. Fry wants to go with the forage party, which is made possible by the Professor's experimental [[Anti-Pressure Pill]]. While collecting food, Zoidberg finds an enormous shell which he adopts as his new home.<br />
<br />
Fry, in the meantime, sees a mermaid, but no one believes him. During the night, the mermaid returns and knocks on the window of the crew's quarters, and Fry goes outside to meet her. She gives Fry a device which makes it possible to breathe and talk under water and introduces herself as [[Umbriel]]. She and Fry adjourn to a volcanic vent, where Umbriel asks Fry to tell her of the bizarre "landie" world he comes from. The two of them fall in love and travel around on the ocean floor.<br />
<br />
The ship is repaired and is ready to depart, but the crew notices Fry's absence and goes looking for him. They find the remains of an ancient city sitting on the bottom of the sea, the legendary lost city of [[Atlanta]], inhabited by an [[Merfolk|all-merfolk]] population.<br />
<br />
=== Act III: "Yes, we all miss our loved ones and gases" ===<br />
The crew is invited to the city, where they find Fry in the company of Umbriel and her father, [[The Colonel]]. They learn that Atlanta was once a land-locked city, but chose to move off-shore for the sake of improved commerce. When the city became overcrowded and overweight, it started to sink and many of the inhabitants left. Most remained, and in time, when the city had settled on the ocean floor, they evolved into merfolk with the help of the caffeine from the Coca-Cola bottling plant.<br />
<br />
Fry choses to remain in Atlanta as he has fallen in love with Umbriel, and the rest of the crew return to the ship, where they find Zoidberg's shell home mysteriously burned down by one of Bender's cigars. However, when Fry and Umbriel try to make love, it turns out their anatomy is not quite compatible any more and Fry leaves in a hurry. The ship is just about to take off as he catches up, but Fry is able to grab the giant hook and is pulled after the ship. Just then, the Colossal Mouth Bass reappears and swallows both Fry and the hook.<br />
<br />
Later, we see the caught bass at the harbour of [[New New York]], and Bender is about to receive a check for $1000 because he has broken the record for the heaviest fish ever caught. The dead fish then releases both Fry and Hermes' Manwich. Although Bender is happy to have Fry back, the bass is now no longer heavy enough to break the record, leaving Bender without the cheque, and Fry in an all-too-tight hug with the angry robot. Zoidberg seems to have adopted the inside of the bass as his new home.<br />

<br />
=== Trivia ===<br />
*A line of dialogue was edited for an airing on Adult Swim. Professor Farnsworth's exclamation "Sweet Zombie Jesus!" had the word "Jesus" blanked from the audio track, although the animation for the dialogue is left intact.<br />
*[[Billy West]], voice of [[Fry]], [[Professor Farnsworth]], [[Zoidberg]], and [[Zapp Brannigan]], turned 48 years old the day this episode premiered.<br />
<br />
=== Continuity ===<br />
*This is the first time we see the interior of the crews quarters on board of the [[Planet Express Ship]], the second time is in "[[Love and Rocket]]". Various items from past episodes appear, like a model of the space ship [[Titanic]], a pennant from [[Mars University (Place)|Mars University]], the [[Democratic Order of Planets|Doop]] helmet Fry wore in "[[When Aliens Attack]]" (looking suspiciously like a [[starwars:Alliance to Restore the Republic|Rebel Alliance]] [[starwars:Pilot|Pilot's]] helmet from ''[[Star Wars]]''), a sword Bender probably nicked from [[Alcazar]] and what looks like the tutu of the Gender Bender from "[[Raging Bender]]".<br />
*Bender receives a jolt from an electric eel, referring to his previous addiction to electricity in "[[Hell Is Other Robots]]".<br />
*This is the second time we hear Amy speak chinese since {{e|1ACV02}}.<br />
*The Diamond Filament Tether has another appearance in "[[The Cryonic Woman]]".<br />
*Two mermaids are seen in "[[Less than Hero]]" as Fry chases down the purse snatcher.<br />
*Amy will speak chinese in {{e|3ACV01}}, {{f|1}}, {{f|4}}, & {{e|6ACV08}}.<br />
<br />
=== Allusions ===<br />
*The crew encounter a great variety of marine lifeforms on the ocean floor, including a sea horse, an electric eel (much to the pleasure of Bender), an angler fish and a coelacanth.<br />
*The concept of this episode is a play on the idea of the Lost City of Atlantis.<br />
* Umbriel's name is a reference to Ariel, the main character in Disney's animated motion picture ''The Little Mermaid''. Ariel and Umbriel, are both moons orbiting Uranus, named for two of the sylphs in Alexander Pope's ''The Rape of the Lock''.<br />
*The unbreakable diamond filament is a reference to Arthur C. Clarke's ''The Fountains of Paradise'', where diamond is used as a building material for a space elevator.<br />
*Umbriel's father "The Colonel" is likely a reference to Colonel Sanders, as is his suit.<br />
*There is a reference to the 1972 film ''Deliverance'' when Bender hums the opening notes to "Dueling Banjos" upon arriving in Atlanta.<br />
*The song Atlantis by episode guest star Donovan is played early in the episode and the later narration of the history of Atlanta is a parody of this song.<br />
*In the story of Atlanta a Ted Turner statue is shown being mounted above a SeaNN sign, a parody of CNN.<br />
*The concept of mermaids not having the same reproductive functions as humans is a reference to the mermaid problem. When Fry wishes that Umbriel could've been the mermaid with "the fish part on top and the lady part on the bottom", this is a jab at an episode of ''Night Gallery'' called "Lindermann's Catch", about a fisherman who wants to give a mermaid he's fallen in love with legs, but his wish backfires when her fish half becomes her human half and her human half (her head) becomes the fish part.<br />
*Umbriel and Fry watch a whale and a giant squid wrestle, a reference to the Squid and Sperm Whale panoramic at the ''American Museum of Natural History''.<br />
*Bender's line that "in the event of an emergency [his] ass can function as a flotation device" is exactly the same line (minus the "ass") as LtCmdr. Data said in Star Trek: Insurrection. In that movie the floating was accompanied by a rather ridiculous sound and the whole thing was a subject of much derision by fans.<br />

<br />
=== Goofs ===<br />
*The high pressure under water would not allow Fry to carry his oxygen with him in a sack, as shown in the episode - the sack would be instantly crushed.<br />
* When Leela assembles her harpoon, it screws together the wrong way (lefty tighty)<br />
<br />
=== Censorship ===<br />
A line of dialogue was edited for an airing on Cartoon Network's Adult Swim. Professor Farnsworth's exclamation of "Sweet Zombie Jesus!" when the giant fish leaps out of the water had the word "Jesus" muted from the audio track, although the animation for the dialogue is left intact. In contrast, airings on TBS's "Too Funny To Sleep" marathon cut the entire scene containing the line. <br />
<br />
However when this episode aired on Comedy Central the line was kept completely intact.<br />
<br />
When this episode was shown on Sky One in the UK, Umbriel's line ''I want you to make a Mer-woman out of Mer-me'' before she has sex with Fry was muted out due to it being shown before the watershed hour (when more explicit sexual lines would have been allowed).<br />

"'''The Series Has Landed'''" or "'''Episode Two: The Series Has Landed'''" is the second episode of ''[[Futurama]]'' and of the [[Season 1|first season]]. It aired 4 April, 1999 on FOX. [[Planet Express]] gets an order to ship to the moon, the new crew's first mission. This episode also serves as a presentation for the remainder of the [[:Category:Primary Characters|primary characters]], [[Dr. Zoidberg]], [[Amy Wong]] and [[Hermes Conrad]].<br />
<br />
== The Story ==<br />
=== Act I: "Here's your package, Mr. Horrible Gelatinous Blob." ===<br />
Now that [[Turanga Leela|Leela]], [[Philip J. Fry|Fry]] and [[Bender Bending Rodríguez|Bender]] are the new crew of [[Planet Express]], [[Professor Hubert J. Farnsworth|Professor Farnsworth]] shows them the company's latest commercial, for which he wants the new crew's opinion on. He even paid to have it aired during the {{w|Superbowl}}, "not on the same channel, of course".<br />
<br />
The commercial shows a [[H.G. Blob|blob]] frustrated with a man named Evans for not having his package from [[Earth]]. After devouring the man (whom also is not Evans), he informs the viewers that he should have used Planet Express, to which a voice over explains the fascinating offers Planet Express can provide, when those other companies just aren't stupid enough to go.<br />
<br />
At the end, the blob gets his package, and the man named Evans is congratulated on his fine performance, but is devoured anyway. The commercial ends with the slogan, "our crew is replaceable, your package ''isn't''". Fry is not entirely pleased with what he has seen. He is concerned and asks whether there really are giant birds like the ones seen in the commercial. However, the professor assures him they were just special effects. The professor then proceeds to the kitchen to get breakfast started, made from giant eggs no less. Unfortunately he is attacked by a bird newly hatched from one of those eggs just before the [[opening sequence]] rolls.<br />
<br />
=== Act II: "Is there a human doctor around?" ===<br />
[[Hermes Conrad|Hermes]] arrives at [[Planet Express]], and the company is in business for the day. A new package has arrived for [[Luna Park]]. In a difficult decision, Farnsworth picks Leela as the new captain. In her following interview with Hermes, she is forced to sign a "standard legal release" to prevent Planet Express from lawsuits in the events of the unforeseen. Leela is not quite pleased by the options, such as death by airlock failure, brain parasites and sonic diarrhoea. Despite her assurances that she is not going to die, Hermes tells her to sign it anyway.<br />
<br />
Fry needs a physical at the company's staff doctor, [[Dr. John A. Zoidberg|Dr. Zoidberg]], though Fry's examination doesn't go quite as he had anticipated, since the doctor is a little unusual, and that is not just because he wears sandals. After offending Zoidberg's mother, Zoidberg eventually declares Fry as healthy as a crab. Meanwhile, the professor is cleaning Bender's neck and tidying him up before the flight.<br />
<br />
He then introduces [[Amy Wong]], who is an engineering student of his: apparently he just likes having her around because she has the same blood type as him. Leela is surprised to see her at the company, since she is supposedly one of the [[Leo and Inez Wong|Wongs]], despite Amy's attempts to claim she is not as rich as everyone claims, Leela gets her to reveal she was a member of the Kappa Kappa Wong {{w|sorority}} (prompting Bender's head to distract her long enough for his body to empty the contents of her wallet). However, the crew are ready for their first mission (Leela reluctantly allows Amy to tag along for the mission: the Professor assures her nothing will go wrong, but in private, tells Leela to bring back the blood if it does).<br />
<br />
Fry is obviously excited, and even more so when he learns they are going to the [[moon]]. Thrilled from their previous ride during the [[New Year, 3000|previous countdown]], he asks if he can perform the countdown again. But Leela isn't waiting for him to finish, and before he reaches nine, they are at the moon. In the Luna Park on the moon, Fry discovers a giant queue for the Park, after having requested cuts from a stranger, he is denied.<br />
<br />
=== Act III: "They landed an amusement park on the moon!" ===<br />
Fry, Bender and Amy wants to see the park, but Leela isn't really interested. She wants them to deliver the crate like professionals, and then go home. But her crew convinces her and she decides after finishing the job, they can go ride the bomber cars. She orders Amy and Fry to hoist down the crate.<br />
<br />
While attempting to hoist the magnet, Amy accidentally lifts the ship's keys into the crate. Fry and Amy arrives at the depot, where they meet [[Sal]], who is so lazy he is not willing to get up and punch Fry in the stomach. The crew then proceeds into the Luna Park. But Fry isn't entirely amused of it all, tired of the oxygen, the gravity, "you might as well stay on Earth".<br />
<br />
Fry wants to see the real moon, so Leela and him get on the "Lunar Lander" ride, where they wear spacesuits and drive on a car on a rail around the real moon. But when Fry discovers that the Luna Park's ride has a complete misconception of how the original moon landing took place, he has had enough, and derails the car and drives across the moon's surface freely.<br />
<br />
Meanwhile, Amy and Bender discovers that the content of the crate was prizes for a claw-machine. Unfortunately, Amy also discovers that it contained the key to the ship. So she begins a fruitless journey of attempting to retrieve the keys with the claw. Bender tries to help her with his own arm, but is discovered by the [[Moon Patrol]], and is ejected from the park.<br />
<br />
After having crashed the car, Leela and Fry wander aimlessly across the lunar surface until Fry spots a barn.<br />
<br />
=== Act IV: "Don't be a-touchin' my 3 beautiful robot daughters!" ===<br />
<br />
Fry and Leela take refuge in the [[Hydroponic Farmer]]'s [[Hydroponic Farm|farm dome]]. The farmer ain't exactly impressed by them, so he decides to force them to chores in exchange for oxygen and shelter. But he warns them, they are free to sleep in the barn, just don't be touching his three beautiful robot daughters, [[Lulubelle 7]], [[Daisy Mae 128k]] and [[the Crushinator]].<br />
<br />
While milking two [[buggalo]]s, Bender arrives to the barn after being in trouble with the farmer, whom caught him sleeping with one of his robot daughters. Fry, Leela and Bender decided to cheese it out of there, and steals one of the farmer's rides as well as some oxygen. The farmer and his robot daughters follows them in the Crushniator, but when the Crushinator refuses to jump over a cliff, their chase is foiled.<br />
<br />
Fry, Leela and Bender are not so lucky either, after the jump, their car broke down and they are again forced to walk. And none too soon, the nightfall is coming. Running against time, Fry and Leela suddenly spots the [[Lunar landing site|original lunar lander]]. Fry is amazed by the site he is seeing, but Leela had quickly taking refuge in the lander itself, and is getting tired of Fry's immature obsession with the moon, which is just a dumb rock and the site he is looking at is just a dead man's foot in the dust and a crummy plastic flag. Foiled, Fry enters the lander. Bender arrives shortly after, but finds no room for himself and so he walks off.<br />
<br />
Inside the lander, Fry confesses for his obsession with the moon. Leela slowly begins to understand how the moon can be so romantic when you can't reach it. And looking out the window, she agrees with Fry, that it really is beautiful. In the horizon, Bender emerges, this time he has really pissed off the farmer, for sleeping the Crushinator again. So the farmer has taking full equipment with him, but Amy arrives just in the nick of time with the [[Planet Express ship]] to save Bender and Fry and Leela by using the magnet from the ship, and Amy have become increasingly good at operating the ship from handling the craw-machine. And so, they all fly off into the stars with Bender singing "{{w|She'll Be Coming 'Round the Mountain}}".<br />
<br />
== Production ==<br />
Originally, "The Series Has Landed" was not intended as the second episode. Or at least, not its plot, that was actually intended for the plot of "[[My Three Suns]]", but [[David X. Cohen]] and [[Matt Groening]] wanted to start off more down to Earth, so "My Three Suns" was moved to slot 7 and "The Series Has Landed" became episode number two.<ref name="com-ep7-dxc-slot">{{cite commentary |speaker={{n|Cohen|David|X.}} |episode=My Three Suns |volume=One |disc=2 |quote=[...] the central premise of ["My Three Suns"] was one of Matt's earliest ideas for the show. And we were gonna do it right away, but then we decided we better do a couple more more down to Earth episodes, like the second and third episodes, and this ended up moving to slot seven.}}</ref><br />
<br />
[[File:Evans inside H.G.Blob.png|thumb|left|Originally the man inside the blob was supposed to be turning into a skeleton.<ref name="com-pa-skeletons">{{cite commentary |speaker={{n|Avanzino|Peter}} |episode=The Series Has Landed |volume=One |disc=1 |quote=I remember our original boards had the guys who got pulled into glob start dissolving, you saw their skeletons and we were asked to pull that back.}}</ref>]]<br />
The script for "The Series Has Landed" was written by [[Ken Keeler]], for which this episode was seen as a test of whether the format would stand. The episode introduces the last three [[primary character]]s, [[Hermes Conrad]], [[Dr. John A. Zoidberg]] and [[Amy Wong]]. Which was somewhat not entirely simple for the writers, as introducing three lesser primary characters in a single scene was not easy.<ref name="com-kk-introductions">{{cite commentary |speaker={{n|Keeler|Ken}} |episode=The Series Has Landed |volume=One |disc=1 |quote=That was the tough part about this scene, that was introducing three of the minor characters very quickly.}}</ref><br />
<br />
The advertisement during the [[cold opening]] was originally supposed to be a lot more dark,<ref name="com-kk-opening">{{cite commentary |speaker={{n|Keeler|Ken}} |episode=The Series Has Landed |volume=One |disc=1 |quote=Every time I see this, I remember the remember the original cold opening we had for this featured the original Planet Express ship captain, Captain Cameron, who very quickly got angry with all the new crew members and then immediately died. But it was felt to be too dark.}}</ref> where the man inside the blob would slowly decay into a skeleton. In an early version of the cold opening, the crew would actually meet the crew's former captain, whom would very quickly get very angry with the new crew and then immediately died.<ref name="com-kk-opening"/> And instead of the giant eggs at the end, the Professor were originally to put on a giant chicken costume instead.<ref name="com-kk-chicken">{{cite commentary |speaker={{n|Keeler|Ken}} |episode=The Series Has Landed |volume=One |disc=1 |quote=The original ending of that, had him putting on a hat with a gigantic bird feather in it and walk away.}}</ref><br />
<br />
Originally, [[David X. Cohen]] and [[Matt Groening]] was actually considering Fry to be the captain, but they decided on Leela as it seem more funny to have him as the underdog.<ref name="com-ep1-dxc-underdog">{{cite commentary |speaker={{n|Cohen|David|X.}} |episode=Space Pilot 3000 |volume=One |disc=1 |quote=We also considered making him captain of the ship at one point, instead of Leela, but it seemed more fun to have him be an underdog.}}</ref> This was also to match the more "sexy babe" science-fiction style heroine, that Matt Groening had in mind for Leela.<ref name="com-ep1-mg-leela">{{cite commentary |speaker={{n|Groening|Matt}} |episode=Space Pilot 3000 |volume=One |disc=1 |quote=I just thought it would be really cool to do "sexy babe", err, you know, science-fiction style heroine and &ndash; but give her one eye. And see if we can still make her... comely and attractive.}}</ref><br />
<br />
Hermes was not written as Jamaican in the first versions,<ref name="com-dxc-hermes">{{cite commentary |speaker={{n|Cohen|David|X.}} |episode=The Series Has Landed |volume=One |disc=1 |quote=Interestingly, in the original script we wrote, Hermes was named Dexter, and he was not Jamaican.}}</ref> and he was even recorded without an accent for several episodes, which then had to be re-recorded.<ref name="com-padxc-rerecord">{{cite commentary |speaker 2={{n|Cohen|David|X.}} |speaker={{n|Avanzino|Peter}} |episode=The Series Has Landed |volume=One |disc=1 |quote=Didn't we actually get tracks where he didn't have an accent? |quote 2=Yes, we recorded several episodes after that...}}</ref> In addition, his name was "Dexter" and not Hermes, but was changed by Matt Groening to fit the style of the character.<ref name="com-dxc-hermes"/><br />
<br />
The name for Dr Zoidberg came from a video game David X. Cohen had been working on for 3 years during college for the {{w|Apple II}} called "Zoid", but the video game never actually went through, and his naming was a homage to that wasted effort.<ref name="com-dxc-zoid">{{cite commentary |speaker={{n|Cohen|David|X.}} |episode=The Series Has Landed |volume=One |disc=1 |quote=Part of the inspiration for the name at least, Dr Zoidberg, was a video game I spend most of my high school years working on for the Apple II, which was called Zoid. So Zoidberg is an homage to that wasted three year period.}}</ref> The idea from the character was based on ''[[Star Trek]]''{{'}}s {{st|Bones McCoy}}, whom would often perform surgery on many non-human species. And Cohen felt that someone like Mr Spock would feel rather uncomfortable having someone of a different species operate on him, so Cohen's idea was to have someone who had no understanding of human anatomy operate on them anyway.<ref name="com-dxc-mccoy">{{cite commentary |speaker={{n|Cohen|David|X.}} |episode=The Series Has Landed |volume=One |disc=1 |quote=The idea for [Dr. Zoidberg] was to make him a sort of a reverse of Bones McCoy on ''Star Trek'', who was a human who often had to treat aliens like Mr. Spock, and I was thinking if I were Mr. Spock, I really would not want someone from a different species operating on me. So we decided we would have this doctor who did not understand human anatomy operating on our guys.}}</ref><br />
<br />
By this point in the show, [[Sal]] had not gotten to point where he would add s'es to random words.<ref name="com-kk-sal">{{cite commentary |speaker={{n|Keeler|Ken}} |episode=The Series Has Landed |volume=One |disc=1 |quote=This was Sal. But it was before he added an S to all his words.}}</ref> That would be before much later, where he would also change jobs on each time we met him.<ref name="com-dxc-sal">{{cite commentary |speaker={{n|Cohen|David|X.}} |episode=The Series Has Landed |volume=One |disc=1 |qoute=Even to this day. Sal occupies so many blue collar jobs, even now we have debates in the– among the writers whether there are a lot of clones of Sal or whether he just moves from job to job frequently.}}</ref><br />
<br />
[[File:Luna lander sticker.png|thumb|right|The sticker added to explain the [[Lunar landing site|lunar lander]]'s return.<ref name="com-dxc-lander">{{cite commentary |speaker={{n|Cohen|David|X.}} |episode=The Series Has Landed |volume=One |disc=1 |quote=But just that the lander is there, yet it blasted off into space when they left the moon. We caught that fairly far down the line. And added a sign, which comes up in the background here to placate our nerdiest fans.}}</ref>]]<br />
During the folksinging scene, it was easy to obtain the rights for "{{w|Blowin' in the Wind}}", but not "{{w|If I Had a Hammer}}", which they wanted later instead.<ref name="com-kk-songs">{{cite commentary |speaker={{n|Keeler|Ken}} |episode=The Series Has Landed |volume=One |disc=1 |quote=It astonishes me that we were able to get the rights to "Blowin' in the Wind", but not we wanted "If Had a Hammer" later. We were not able to get that.}}</ref> The [[Goophy Gophers|gopher]] scene originally had material for 20 minutes, which considered of almost nothing but puns and other gopher jokes.<ref name="com-dxcrmkk-gophers">{{cite commentary |speaker={{n|Cohen|David|X.}} |speaker 2={{n|Moore|Rich}} |speaker 3={{n|Cohen|David|X.}} |speaker 4={{n|Keeler|Ken}} |episode=The Series Has Landed |volume=One |disc=1 |quote=This scene used to be about 20 minutes long. |quote 2=It was the whole show. |quote 3=It ended up being four seconds long. But it is still pretty funny. |quote 4=I think we spend probably 8 or 10 hours writing a whole bunch of gopher jokes.}}</ref><br />
<br />
The [[Lunar landing site|lunar lander]] scene was originally going to have {{w|Neil Armstrong}}'s head helping the crew escape,<ref name="com-kk-armstrong">{{cite commentary |speaker={{n|Keeler|Ken}} |episode=The Series Has Landed |volume=One |disc=1 |quote=Originally, they were going to find the original moon landing site, and I believe, Neil Armstrong's head for inexplicable reasons was going to be there. And he would help them flee from the farmer across the moon. But cooler heads prevailed.}}</ref> but apparently cooler heads prevailed. Late in the script did the writers notice the issue with the lander, as it would have been blasted off when the astronauts left the moon originally.<ref name="com-dxc-lander"/> The solution was to insert a sticker inside the lander to specify that it was actually a replica of the lander, placed by the "Historical Sticklers Society".<ref name="com-dxc-lander"/><br />
<br />
== Reception ==<br />
"The Series Has Landed" aired 4 April, 1999, and the last episode to air on Fox's Sunday line up, after which it was move to its Tuesday line up, where expectations were for it to lose ratings as a consequence. It gained a {{w|Nielsen Rating}} of 8.1/14 in homes.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.variety.com/article/VR1117492973.html?categoryid=14&cs=1 |title='Futurama' cools, but still holds on to auds |publisher=Variety |author=Bierbaum, Tom |date=1999-04-06 |accessdate=2009-04-17}}</ref><br />

<br />
=== Trivia ===<br />
*The 20th-century car on display at Luna Park is very similar to an AMC Pacer.<br />
*Bender's sticking a bottle into the eye of the Luna Park costumed character is a reference to the scene in "A Journey to the Moon" where the capsule lands by crashing into the eye of the Man in the Moon.<br />
*Originally, the person who H. G. Blob ate was to disintegrate into a skeleton, but it was deemed too gruesome, and the milder version that we now know was made.<br />
*The hydroponic farmer's moon car is modelled after the moon car used by the Apollo missions.<br />
*Inside the [[Lunar Landing Site|Lunar lander]] there is a plaque that says "This lander returned to this site by the historical stickler's society"<br />
**This is because, the writers realised that when the original Apollo crew took off, only the descent module of the lander would remain.<br />
*Fry almost suffocates again in "[[Love and Rocket]]".<br />
*The games at Luna Park include:<br />
**Skeeball<br />
**Virtual Skeeball<br />
**Virtual Virtual Skeeball<br />
**Mortal Kooperation<br />
**Gender-neutral Pac-Person<br />
**Dodecapede<br />
**The claw machine<br />
*the Professor's giant telescope looks very similar to his soon to be invented smelloscope<br />

=== Allusions ===<br />
*"The happiest place orbiting Earth" is a reference to Disneyland, whose slogan is "The happiest place on Earth"<br />
*The lunar farmer's hat, which reads "THE MOON SHALL RISE AGAIN" is a reference to similar sayings of the confederate south ("The South shall rise again").<br />
* Crater Face, the moon mascot, after bender sticks his beer bottle into his eye, looks like a famous scene from Melies's movie "A trip to the moon" [http://www.precinemahistory.net/images/melies_moon.gif Picture]<br />
* The Moon Patrol is a reference to the arcade game Moon Patrol<br />

<poem>{{tt|02|27}}'''Leela''': It's no use. We were going full speed when we fired him so he's going even faster than that.</poem><br />
<poem>{{tt|02|32}}'''Fry''': You mean we can never catch up to him? Not even if we rub the engine with cheetah blood?</poem><br />
<poem>{{tt|02|36}}'''Leela''': I don't know how to say this, Fry, but Bender is doomed to drift through space ... forever.</poem><br />

<poem>{{tt|02|50}}'''Bender''': I'm going too fast. I've gotta lose momentum. ''[He throws swag out of the sack and spins around and slows down.

Ostentatious! ''[He sticks it to his door.]'' Except what good is a candelabra without-- Wait! I know! ''[He pulls a piano out of his chest cabinet, puts the candelabra on it and plays Polonaise in C Minor.]'' Ah, the pity. Fated to drift forever through the void as gravity's plaything. Oh, cruel fate, to be thusly boned. Ask not for whom the bone bones. It bones for thee. The only thing that keeps me sane is the thought that I have all eternity in which to perfect my art. ''[He plays a bad note and groans. He tries again, plays another bad note and growls.]'' Damn you!</poem><br />

<poem>{{tt|05|31}}'''Bender''': Listen here, ''Malachi''. Time for a religious donation. Hand over your wallet.</poem><br />
<poem>{{tt|05|36}}'''Malachi''': But, Lord, we are a poor and simple folk.</poem><br />
<poem>{{tt|05|39}}'''Bender''': Poor? Oh, crap.</poem><br />

<poem>{{tt|07|29}}'''Malachi''': Yes, tonight is kind of special.</poem><br />
<poem>{{tt|07|31}}'''Bender''': Wait a second. Did you rip off your own arm as a joke?</poem><br />
<poem>{{tt|07|34}}'''Malachi''': Nay. Like most of your followers, I was maimed while building the Great Brewery. ''[The Shrimpkins lack various limbs and behind them is a large graveyard.]'' Others died from the pestilent fumes it spewed forth. ''[On the porch of her home, Malachi's wife sits with the baby.]'' And, of course, the liquor industry attracted organised crime.</poem><br />
:''[Mobsters drive past Malachi's home shooting at each other. Malachi's wife gasps, picks up a gun and shoots at the cars. Bender watches and groans.]''<br />
<poem>{{tt|07|58}}'''Bender''': It's all my fault. Malachi, tell thy people that the Lord is moved by their plight.</poem><br />
:''[A tear drops from his eye. In the Shrimpkin village the tear is huge. It rushes towards the Shrimpkins and they scream and run out of the way. The wave washes through the village and sweeps away Malachi Jr. He grabs hold of a branch and the villagers gasp.]''<br />

<poem>{{tt|08|28}}'''Malachi Jr.''': Daddy, I can't hold much longer. My arms are tired from hugging.</poem><br />

:''[Bender rolls up his sleeves.]''<br />
<poem>{{tt|08|36}}'''Bender''': This looks like a job for God! ''[He pulls Malachi Jr. out of the tear river and puts him down on the bank. Father and son hug and the Shrimpkins gasp and bow.]'' What the-- Malachi, what manner of deal is this with the chanting?</poem><br />
<poem>{{tt|08|52}}'''Malachi''': They saw you save my son. Now everyone is praying for their own miracles.</poem><br />
:''[Bender sighs.]''<br />
<poem>{{tt|08|57}}'''Bender''': Very well. What do they want?</poem><br />
<poem>{{tt|08|59}}'''Malachi''': The people of that village pray for wealth.</poem><br />
:''[Bender pulls out a Coolio coin and tosses it to the Shrimpkins. It flattens several houses. Bender panics and picks the coin up again. He looks under the ruined houses.]''<br />
<poem>{{tt|09|10}}'''Bender''': Um, that was a practice miracle. Who's next?</poem><br />
<poem>{{tt|09|18}}'''Malachi''': The farmers pray for sunlight so their barley might make a more refreshing beer for today's God on the go.</poem><br />
<poem>{{tt|09|24}}'''Bender''': Very well. Let there be light. ''[He closes his eye visor and reflects the rays of a star onto the farmers' fields. They cheer but the fields burst into flames and so do the farmers.]'' I got it! I got it! ''[He blows the flames out and also blows several Shrimpkins off his body and into space.]'' Um, when you're writing the Bible, you might want to omit that last miracle.</poem><br />
:''['''Scene''': Fry's and Bender's Lounge. Fry picks up a photo of Bender holding him over the side of the Statue of Liberty torch. He sighs.]''<br />
<poem>{{tt|09|51}}'''Fry''': He decided not to let go. ''[He puts the picture down and looks at one on the wall of Bender sat on a throne dressed as Napoleon.]'' I can't believe you're gone.

<poem>{{tt|10|22}}'''Changstein el Gamahl''': No.</poem><br />

<poem>{{tt|10|36}}'''Gypsy''': Yes. I am fine. Give the gypsy $10.</poem><br />
<poem>{{tt|10|40}}'''Fry''': Wait a minute! Bender's name isn't Bonder, it's Bender. You're a fraud!</poem><br />
<poem>{{tt|10|45}}'''Gypsy''': Look, you want false hope or not?</poem><br />
<poem>{{tt|10|47}}'''Fry''': Only if you don't have any real hope.</poem><br />
<poem>{{tt|10|49}}'''Gypsy''': Well, there is perhaps one way. Have you heard of the Monks of Deshuba?</poem><br />
<poem>{{tt|10|54}}'''Fry''': I've ''not'' heard of them.</poem><br />
<poem>{{tt|10|56}}'''Gypsy''': They are an ancient order that believes God exists somewhere in the depths of space. They have built the universe's most powerful radio telescope, high in the Himalayas, to search for him.</poem><br />
<poem>{{tt|11|08}}'''Fry''': You think they'd let me use it to look for Bender?</poem><br />
<poem>{{tt|11|10}}'''Gypsy''': What am I, psychic? I mean, yes! Yes, I'm-I'm sure they will. Yes.</poem><br />

<poem>{{tt|11|34}}'''Bender''': [irate] Yes, Malachi, what is it this time?</poem><br />
<poem>{{tt|11|36}}'''Malachi''': My Lord, the infidels on your back no longer believe in you. They say their prayers go unheeded.</poem><br />
<poem>{{tt|11|42}}'''Bender''': Of course they're unheeded. How am I supposed to hear prayers coming out of my ass?</poem><br />
<poem>{{tt|11|47}}'''Malachi''': They talk of war against the faithful. I beseech thee. Rise up against them. Smite someone who deserves it for once.</poem><br />
:''[Bender sighs.]''<br />
<poem>{{tt|11|55}}'''Bender''': Malachi, every time I interfere, I only make things worse. You're best off solving your own problems.</poem><br />
<poem>{{tt|12|01}}'''Malachi''': But-But Metal Lord.</poem><br />
<poem>{{tt|12|04}}'''Bender''': What part of "nay" doesn't thou understand?</poem><br />
:''['''Scene''': Ed's Hiking Supplies &amp; Spelunketeria. Fry talks to a salesman behind a counter.]''<br />
<poem>{{tt|12|09}}'''Fry''': Sir, I'm outfitting an expedition to a monastery high in the Himalayas. I'll need a long-sleeved coat.</poem><br />
:''[The salesman hands him a coat.]''<br />
<poem>{{tt|12|14}}'''Leela''': Look, I miss Bender almost half as much as you do but you can't bring him back this way. It's hopeless.</poem><br />
<poem>{{tt|12|20}}'''Fry''': You can't give up hope just because it's hopeless. You gotta hope even more and cover your ears and go "blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah!" ''[He is still covering his ears.]'' [shouting] I'd also like a pack mule.</poem><br />
<poem>{{tt|12|29}}'''Salesman''': [shouting] At once, sir!</poem><br />
:''[He pulls down a fully-equipped mule from a high shelf.]''<br />
<poem>{{tt|12|33}}'''Leela''': Well, you obviously won't listen to reason, so I guess I'll listen to idiotic-ness and come with you. But we'll need a sherpa to guide us.</poem><br />
:''[The salesman reaches up to the high shelf with the hook and jabs the sherpa, Namgyal. He screams.]''<br />

Looks like society's running pretty well without my meddling-- ''[Bombers fly around from Bender's ass and drop bombs on the Shrimpkin village.]'' Atomic bombs? Oh, no!

''[He groans.]'' ''[crying]'' They're dead. All dead. Who would have known playing God could have such terrible consequences?</poem><br />

<poem>{{tt|15|41}}'''"God"''': Possible. I do feel compassion for all living things, my good chum.</poem><br />
<poem>{{tt|15|46}}'''Bender''': But why would God think in binary? Unless ... you're not God, but the remains of a computerised space probe that collided with God.</poem><br />

<poem>{{tt|16|24}}'''Fry''': And then what?</poem><br />
<poem>{{tt|16|25}}'''Monk #1''': Then we utter unto him a short prayer. You see, the telescope is also an amplifying transmitter.</poem><br />
<poem>{{tt|16|31}}'''Leela''': Sort of like a giant karaoke machine?</poem><br />
<poem>{{tt|16|33}}'''Monk #1''': Not really. Would you like to see our giant karaoke machine?</poem><br />
<poem>{{tt|16|36}}'''Leela''': Not really.</poem><br />

<poem>{{tt|17|34}}'''Monk #3''': This is the worst crazy sect I've ever been in.</poem><br />
:''[Fry slams the door behind them.]''<br />
:''['''Scene''': Bender talks to "God".]''<br />
<poem>{{tt|17|38}}'''Bender''': So, do you know what I'm gonna do before I do it?</poem><br />
<poem>{{tt|17|41}}'''"God"''': Yes.</poem><br />
<poem>{{tt|17|42}}'''Bender''': What if I do something different?</poem><br />
<poem>{{tt|17|44}}'''"God"''': Then I don't know that.</poem><br />
<poem>{{tt|17|45}}'''Bender''': Cool! Cool! I bet a lot of people pray to you, huh?</poem><br />
<poem>{{tt|17|49}}'''"God"''': Yes. But there are so many asking so much. After a while, you just sorta tune it out.</poem><br />
<poem>{{tt|17|55}}'''Bender''': Y'know, I was God once.</poem><br />
<poem>{{tt|17|57}}'''"God"''': Yes, I saw. You were doing well until everyone died.</poem><br />
<poem>{{tt|18|01}}'''Bender''': It was awful. I tried helping them, I tried not helping them but in the end I couldn't do them any good. Do you think what I did was wrong?</poem><br />
<poem>{{tt|18|10}}'''"God"''': Right and wrong are just words. What matters is what you do.</poem><br />
<poem>{{tt|18|14}}'''Bender''': Yeah I know, that's why I asked if what I did-- Forget it.</poem><br />
<poem>{{tt|18|19}}'''"God"''': Bender, being God isn't easy. If you do too much, people get dependent on you. And if you do nothing, they lose hope. You have to use a light touch like a safecracker or a pickpocket.</poem><br />
<poem>{{tt|18|30}}'''Bender''': Or a guy who burns down the bar for the insurance money.</poem><br />
<poem>{{tt|18|33}}'''"God"''': Yes, if you make it look like an electrical thing. When you do things right, people won't be sure you've done anything at all.</poem><br />
<poem>{{tt|18|43}}'''Bender''': Does that mean you wouldn't send me back to Earth even if I prayed to you?</poem><br />
<poem>{{tt|18|46}}'''"God"''': Earth? Which way is that?</poem><br />
:''[Bender looks around.]''<br />
<poem>{{tt|18|51}}'''Bender''': [sadly] I don't know.</poem><br />
:''['''Scene''': Monastery of Deshuba. Fry frantically turns the radio dish around.]''<br />
<poem>{{tt|18|53}}'''Fry''': [shouting] Bender? Bender?</poem><br />
:''[The monks knock on the door.]''<br />
<poem>{{tt|18|56}}'''Monk #2''': [from laundry room] Let us out! We cooked our shoes in the dryer and ate them. Now we're bored.</poem><br />
<poem>{{tt|19|03}}'''Fry''': [shouting] Hello? Has anyone out there seen Bender?</poem><br />
<poem>{{tt|19|05}}'''[[Horrible Gelatinous Blob|H.G. Blob]]''': [on speaker] No! Quit asking.</poem><br />
<poem>{{tt|19|08}}'''Leela''': Fry, it's been three days. And even if you stay here the rest of your life, there is virtually no chance of finding him. It's time to give up.</poem><br />
<poem>{{tt|19|17}}'''Fry''': [sad] You're right. I'm never gonna see him again. I know he was evil and on more than one occasion he-he actually stole my blood. ''[He spins the dish controller.]'' But still, I wish I had Bender back.</poem><br />
:''['''Pullback''': The radio telescope echoes his words into the depths of space and in a pullback lifted from ''Contact'' the signal reaches "God". Bender sleeps.]''<br />
<poem>{{tt|19|39}}'''"God"''': Huh?</poem><br />
:''[Bender wakes up.]''<br />
<poem>{{tt|19|42}}'''Bender''': Huh? Wha? You say something?</poem><br />
<poem>{{tt|19|43}}'''"God"''': No, no. Well, so long. Remember what we talked about.</poem><br />
:''[He straps a parachute to Bender and throws him towards Earth. Bender screams.]''<br />
:''['''Scene''': Himalayas. Fry and Leela make their way down the mountain. Bender screams and falls through the atmosphere. Fry gasps.]''<br />
<poem>{{tt|20|02}}'''Bender''': Hot, hot, hot, hot!</poem><br />
:''[He screams and the parachute opens and he lands on the mountain next to Fry and Leela. He glows red hot.]''<br />
<poem>{{tt|20|07}}'''Fry''': Bender! It's a miracle! ''[He hugs him and burns himself.]'' Ow!</poem><br />
:''[Leela rubs her eye.]''<br />
<poem>{{tt|20|13}}'''Leela''': This is, by a wide margin, the least likely thing that has ever happened.</poem><br />
<poem>{{tt|20|17}}'''Bender''': Guys, you'll never believe what happened. First I ''was'' God, then I ''met'' God!</poem><br />
<poem>{{tt|20|23}}'''Fry''': We climbed a mountain and locked up some monks.</poem><br />
<poem>{{tt|20|24}}'''Leela''': Oh, no! The monks! We forgot to let them out of the laundry room.</poem><br />
<poem>{{tt|20|28}}'''Fry''': Do we have to? I mean, they're monks. I'm sure their God will let them out or at least give them more shoes to eat.</poem><br />
<poem>{{tt|20|34}}'''Bender''': Fat chance! You can't count on God for jack. He pretty much told me so himself. Now come on. If we don't save those monks, no one will!</poem><br />
:''[He takes off his parachute and starts back up the mountain.]''<br />
:''['''Pullback''': "God" chuckles to himself.]''<br />
<poem>{{tt|20|54}}'''"God"''': When you do things right, people won't be sure you've done anything at all.</poem><br />
