After [[Mom]] launches the new [[eyePhone]], [[Philip J. Fry|Fry]] and [[Bender Bending Rodriguez|Bender]] race to getting a million followers on the [[Twitcher|Twit]] [[mobile app|app]].<br />
<br />
== The Story ==<br />
=== Act I: "Good news, nobodies!" ===<br />
At the [[New New York]] annual [[Annual e-Waste Recycling Festival|e-Waste event]], [[Mayor Poopenmeyer]] announces the importance of throwing out dated e-waste. The [[Planet Express]] crew is there to throw out their old {{cat|s=no|technology|electronics}}, such as [[doomsday devices]], [[Japanese toilet]]s and evidence. When asked where all the waste goes, Poopenmeyer says they get some "minimum-wage nobodies" to fly it off to the third world. This cues [[Professor Hubert J. Farnsworth|Farnsworth]] to announce to his crew that they are the nobodies.<br />
<br />
The third world turns out to be the [[Third World of the Antares system]], where all e-waste is dumped and burnt, turning it into ash and releasing toxic gases into the atmosphere. While the lead alien explains the process to the crew, the other aliens partially dismantle the ship and [[Bender]]. [[Turanga Leela|Leela]] is horrified by the devastation caused by e-waste polution, and decides that the crew should avoid throwing out electronics just because it is dated, and takes back her old phone.<br />
<br />
Her noble actions are short-lived: when an ad for the new [[eyePhone]] appears on [[television]], the crew immediately throw out their current phones and head for the queue, which stretches across town. After a day of waiting, the crew begins to suspect that they are nothing but consumer zombies. Luckily, [[Dr. Ben Beeler]] is there to relieve them of their worries, as the eyePhone have all the apps you need. <br />
<br />
Upon finally arriving at the [[Mom Store]], a giant screen with [[Mom]] announces that the eyePhones are in short supply, which spreads panic among the shoppers. The short supply line is revealed to be a method for increasing demand. Despite being told that the eyePhone has no choice of carrier, can't change the battery and more, [[Philip J. Fry|Fry]] becomes impatient and demands the man at the counter to take his [[currency|money]]. Fry is about to ask why the device is called an 'eyePhone' when the salesman installs it directly in Fry's eye.<br />
<br />
=== Act II: "Did you know these eyePhones are phones too?" ===<br />
[[File:File-6ACV03 Floating Screens.jpg|left|thumb|A [[promo pic]] showing the crew using the floating screens from their eyePhones]]<br />
Soon all the crew members are addicts to their eyePhones and especially the extra service, [[Twitcher|Twit]], which allows them to send small video messages to everyone who wishes to see it. Bender becomes obsessed with the popularity he can easily gain from sending out videos and increasing his amount of followers. Fry, on the other hand, is not doing so well in numbers of followers, but decides to accept a challenge from Bender about who can first reach one million followers. The loser of the bet must bathe in a pool filled with puke and diarrhea from a [[Mr. Chunks|two-headed goat]].<br />
<br />
Meanwhile, Mom is very pleased with the sale of her eyePhones, because they are a much more efficient way of sucking information out of people than her "old-fashioned methods like spybots and [[Infosquito]]es". With Twitcher, people are apparently willing to post everything they do, which all eyePhones record and Mom can see all this information. In addition, she is pleased to learn that Bender and Fry are holding their million follower-Twit challenge, because when one person reaches one million followers, she can initiate her [[Twitt-worm|Twit-worm]], what she calls the ''true'' killer app of the eyePhone, but never fully explains what it does.<br />
<br />
Back at Planet Express, Bender's follower numbers are rising fast, while Fry is still in the two digits. Fry learns about Leela's horrible secret, that she has a bisexual singing boil on her right butt cheek that she calls [[Susan Boil|Susan]], an obvious pun on Susan Boyle. In discovering it, his eyePhone also films it. Leela begs Fry not to upload it, even though it will increase the number of his Twit followers. Desperate not to lose, Fry uploads it anyway.<br />
<br />
=== Act III: "Impending news, everyone!" ===<br />
The video is a huge success, and Leela is devastated when she discovers that Fry lied to her. Walking through the streets of New New York, Leela feels she has become a freak show and desperately wants to hide her shame.<br />
<br />
The video results in Fry and Bender reaching one million followers at the same time; with no loser, no one has to swim in the pool. Mom is even more pleased with the results, as she now has two million people she can infect with the Twit-worm. In front of the [[Planet Express headquarters]], Leela finds Fry, who reveals that, to show his remorse, he published a video of himself diving into the pool. But Leela has discovered that her boil is already yesterday's news, and nobody cares about it any more.<br />
<br />
Meanwhile, around them, swarms of people walk zombie-like towards the Mom Store, where they are going to be the first to purchase the new eyePhone 2.0.<br />
<br />
== Production ==<br />
The plot of "Attack of the Killer App" was among the plots mentioned at the ''[[Futurama]]'' panel at the [[2009]] {{w|San Diego Comic-Con}}.<ref name="cinemablend-comiccon">{{cite web |url=http://www.cinemablend.com/television/Comic-Con-Futurama-Ignores-Controversy-Promises-To-Take-On-Twitter-18844.html |title=Comic Con: Futurama Ignores Controversy, Promises To Take On Twitter |publisher=Cinema Blend |date=2009-07-25 |accessdate=2009-07-26 |author=Perkis, Ed}}</ref> And [[Craig Ferguson]] was among the first guest actors of the production season to come to the recording studio. During [[Comedy Central]] Insider's ''[[Countdown to Futurama]]'', a [[Storyboard:Attack of the Killer App|storyboard]] was released showing Farnsworth and Hermes throwing out dangerous doomsday devices.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://ccinsider.comedycentral.com/2010/05/20/countdown-to-futurama-doomsday-devices-storyboards/ |title=Countdown to Futurama: Doomsday Devices Storyboard |publisher=Comedy Central Insider |author=Tobey, Matt |date=2010-05-20 |accessdate=2010-05-20}}</ref><br />
<br />
== Reception ==<br />
"Attack of the Killer App" aired 22:00, 1 July, 2010 on Comedy Central, following a rebroadcast of "[[In-A-Gadda-Da-Leela]]". It received 2.2 million viewers and 1.1 million adults age 18-49.<ref name="603ratings107">{{cite web|url=http://tvbythenumbers.com/2010/07/02/thursday-cable-ratings-usas-royal-pains-bethenny-lags-futurama/56051|title=Thursday Cable Ratings: USA's ''Royal Pains'' & ''Burn Notice'' lead Thursday cable pack; ''Bethenny'' lags ''Futurama''|work=TV by the Numbers|author=Seidman, Robert|date=2010-07-02 |accessdate=2010-07-03}}</ref><br />
<br />
Robert Canning of IGN in his review gave the episode an 8.5 calling it "Great" and also stated in his review ""Attack of the Killer App" had more than enough great laughs to outweigh this weak bit", in reference to the Susan Boyle joke. He also praised the references to iPhone and Twitter jokes. A.V. Club reviewer Zack Helden gave the episode a B saying "This was funny, generally, and I'm glad the series hasn't lost its teeth. It's just, I miss the writers' habit of biting off just a little more than they could chew." He also found the Susan Boyle jokes to be "mean-spirited" but clever and so "bizarre that it worked". Darren Franich of EW Popwatch said the episode was "as good as anything the show produced in its prime" particularly commenting on the speed of the episode and the precision of its satire. He also noted that the episode benefited from good timing, coming right on the heels of recent iPad and iPhone releases which kept the episode from feeling "outdated".<br />
<br />
=== iPhone controversy ===<br />
[[Comedy Central]] removed mention of the "eyePhone" in their online video previews,<ref name="maclife-iphoneremoval">{{cite web |url=http://www.maclife.com/article/news/why_did_comedy_central_remove_eyephone_reference_futurama_online_clip | title=Why Did Comedy Central Remove EyePhone Reference from Futurama Online Clip? |author=Baldwin, Roberto |publisher=Mac{{!}}Life |date=2010-07-02 |accessdate=2010-07-03}}</ref> resulting in an awkward reaction to nothing by the characters.<ref name="gizmodo-iphoneremoval">{{cite web |url=http://www.gizmodo.com.au/2010/07/futurama-weirdly-removes-eyephone-reference-from-online-clip/ |title=''Futurama'' Weirdly Removes EyePhone Reference From Online Clip |author=Chen, Jason |publisher=Gizmodo Australia |date=2010-07-02 |accessdate=2010-07-03}}</ref> By this point, neither Comedy Central nor {{w|Apple Inc.}} have made a comment on why the line was removed, but ''{{w|MacLife|Mac{{!}}Life}}'' holds that only one company could be interested in removing it.<ref name="maclife-iphoneremoval"/><br />

== Additional info ==<br />
[[File:6ACV03 Dismantled Ship still.jpg|right|thumb|A promo pic showing the dismantled ship.]]<br />
<br />
=== Trivia ===<br />
*As in "[[In-A-Gadda-Da-Leela]]", the [[opening sequence]] was abridged in this episode. Consequently, there is no [[List of opening cartoons|opening cartoon]].<br />
*The title of the episode is a reference to the cult film ''{{w|Attack of the Killer Tomatoes}}''.<br />
*6 August, 1991 is the date {{w|Tim Berners-Lee}} announced the {{w|World Wide Web}} project and software on the alt.hypertext newsgroup.<br />
*In his first two appearances, [[Scoop Chang]] was voiced by [[David Herman]]. In this episode, however, he is voiced by [[Maurice LaMarche]].<br />
*For reasons unknown, Leela wears her full costume from [[Applied Cryogenics]] during the first part of the episode.<br />
* Fry's line, "Shut up and take my money!", is currently a popular Internet meme, commonly used to show appreciation for something, and said person's willingness to buy it. <br />
*Among the zombies infected with the [[twitt-worm]] are two who bear a strong resemblance to [[Fry, Bender and Leela's replacements|Fry and Leela's replacements]] from "[[When Aliens Attack]]". There is a zombie character resembling {{s|Krusty the Clown}} from ''[[The Simpsons]]''.<br />
*Fry asks if the store has any eyePhones left, to which the salesman replies "there might be one," he reaches back to reveal thousands of eyePhones. This is almost identical to a joke in ''The Simpsons'' episode "Radio Bart" where Homer tries to order a Mr. Microphone-style portable radio and microphone set and the warehouse supervisor tells Homer that there may be one left, despite there being a full warehouse.<br />
*The crew (other than Fry, Bender and Leela) become zombies.<br />
*The chair shown during the [[Infosquito]] gag is the same one used in the ''[[Star Trek]]'' episode "{{st|episode=Dagger of the Mind}}".<br />
*The worm only affects the between 1 and 2 million people, because Mom did not stop to think some people might be following Fry and Bender. And, when the crew had lunch at the pizza place across the street, Leela mentioned she had unsubscribed from Fry's [[Twitcher|Twit]] feed the day before, and was implied not to be a follower of Bender when Bender tweeted and no beeps were heard in the room.<br />
*Some of this episode may have taken place at the same time as the very next episode "[[Proposition Infinity]]", as Amy happily lets Bender film her in a bikini (or Amy could have agreed to it to help him get more Internet followers and because Amy is a sexually open character).<br />
<br />
=== Continuity ===<br />
*The shell phone Zoidberg throws away debuted in ''[[The Beast with a Billion Backs]]''.<br />
*The cell phone Amy throws away was first seen in "[[Amazon Women in the Mood]]".<br />
*The episode seemed to show the last of [[Flexo]] before his death, presuming he didn't escape afterwards.<br />
**Although it is revealed in "[[Lethal Inspection]]" that your typical [[Bending Units|Bending Unit]] can never die, but simply be transferred into a new body if need be.<br />
<br />
=== Goofs ===<br />
*The hinges of [[Bender]]'s chest cavity door are on the wrong side after the [[Antarians]] strip him halfway down.<br />
*Right after every crew member tosses their phones in the garbage, [[Dr. John A. Zoidberg|Zoidberg]]'s pants are white instead of aqua.<br />
*Zoidberg is very poor, yet he is able to afford an [[eyePhone]].<br />
**It could have been a gift from someone.<br />
*When the [[eyePhone salesman]] that Fry talks to opens the eyePhone box, the [[Mom Store]] logo is properly oriented, but, once the box is opened and the camera angle changes, the logo is flipped upside-down, thus again properly oriented in relation to the camera. Also, after he reaches for the eyePhone, his hand grabs more than one copy. Strangely, in the very next scene, he has only one to give to Fry.<br />
*When [[Leela]] is talking to Fry after discovering the eyePhone functions as a phone, she is flying through {{cat|s=no|space}}, as shown by the [[star]]s flashing by through the window. However, in the next second, she crashes the [[Planet Express ship|ship]] into the [[Planet Express building]].<br />
**The ship moves at 99% the speed of light {{et|4ACV09}}, so it is possible that it was in space one second, and landing at Planet Express in the next second.<br />
*The sitting arrangement changes when Leela crashes the ship.<br />
:'''Before''': Fry - [[Amy]] - Empty - Zoidberg - Bender - [[Hermes]] - Empty - Empty<br />
:'''After''': Fry - Amy - Zoidberg - Bender - Empty - Hermes - Empty<br />
:Note that there is one chair missing. Interestingly, the first sitting arrangement is the same as the one in "[[The Late Philip J. Fry]]".<br />
*Bender should be seated where Hermes was seated so the angle of the video he posted would be accurate.<br />
** The eyePhone records everything, so Bender might have a way to grab the footage from Hermes's eyePhone.<br />
*In the final scene where everyone turns into a zombie, Fry and Leela are unaffected, even though both have eyePhones. Arguably, Fry could be unaffected because he is the worm carrier, or because of [[delta brainwave|his unique brain]], but there is no explanation as to Leela.<br />
**She states in the pizzeria that she unsubscribed Fry's tweets, and she may have simply not subscribed to Bender at all.<br />
*The second time Fry and Leela hug, Fry has 4 legs.<br />
*On Bender's video of Leela crash-landing the ship into the Planet Express headquarters, her eyePhone display isn't projected in front of her face - when she crash-landed, however, it was projected in front of her face.<br />
<br />
=== Allusions ===<br />
* One of the Third World alien babies has a red pacifier like Maggie does on ''The Simpsons''<br />
*Fry refers to [[Mr. Chunks]] as a puke-me-poop-you, possibly his species name, but surely a play on the two-headed pushmi-pullyu from the classic children’s series {{w|Dr. Dolittle}}.<br />
*[[Susan Boil]] is a parody of Scottish Internet singing sensation {{w|Susan Boyle}}.<br />
*[[eyePhone|eyePhones]] are parodies of {{w|iPhone}}s.<br />
*[[Twitcher]] is a parody of the popular social networking site [[Twitter]].<br />
*The scene of Leela exiting [[Elzar's Fine Cuisine]] is a parody of the famous scene of {{w|Marilyn Monroe}} in ''{{w|The Seven Year Itch}}''.<br />
*The floating screens that come out of an eyePhone user's eyes are just like the hoverchair screens from ''{{w|WALL-E}}''.<br />

<br />
== The Story ==<br />
=== Act I: "Good news, everyone!" ===<br />
[[File:Leela deported.png|thumb|left|Leela is deported to the [[NNY Sewers|sewers]] when Fry reveals that she is an illegal [[Sewer Mutant]].]]<br />
The [[Planet Express crew]] has been hired for their 100th {{deliver}}y, which is delivering a soufflé. For this occasion, [[Bender Bending Rodríguez|Bender]] plans the [[100th Delivery Party|party of the millennium]]. [[Mrs. Astor]], the addressee, lives on the [[Waldorf Asteroid]], and so the crew [[Planet Express ship|flies]] there. Once the mission is complete, she invites [[Philip J. Fry|Fry]] and [[Professor Hubert J. Farnsworth|the Professor]] to [[Annual Astor Endowment Fundraiser|her fundraiser]] in the [[New New York Historical Society]] [[New New York Historical Society building|building]]. Fry invites [[Turanga Leela|Leela]] along, but, during the fundraiser, which supports the [[United Mutant Scholarship Fund]], Fry accidentally reveals to the guests that Leela, who felt outraged at the thinly-veiled racist treatment dispensed to mutants, is not an [[Alien]], but rather a [[Sewer Mutant]], who is living illegally on the surface. Leela is banished to the [[NNY Sewers|sewers]] and sees the horrors of living down there. In an attempt to rectify his mistake, Fry, along with the rest of the crew (except for Bender), go to [[Citihall]]. Due to another of Fry's blunders, [[Mayor C. Randall Poopenmeyer|Mayor Poopenmeyer]] finds out that they knowingly harbored Leela, and sentences them to 2 weeks below the surface. Meanwhile, Bender is throwing a great party with [[100th Delivery Party#Attendants|a lot of people]]. However, when he realises that he misses the rest of the crew, he orders everyone out and wallows in self-pity. Fry thinks living beneath the surface will be a good thing as he will now understand what being a Mutant feels like. Leela is angry at Fry (and all surface people for that matter) and states that if he wants to understand he should jump in [[Lake Mutagenic]] and become one.<br />
<br />
=== Act II: "You are all surface." ===<br />
[[File:Land Titanic wreck.png|thumb|left|Fry, Amy, Zoidberg, Hermes and the Professor find the remains of the ''[[Land Titanic]]''.]]<br />
Fry comes up with an excuse not to jump and Leela is left angry at him. Whilst walking in the sewers, the crew stumbles on the ''[[Land Titanic]]'', a land bus in the shape of the ''{{w|RMS Titanic|Titanic}}'', which struck a mail box and sunk beneath the surface in [[2912]]. After looking through the ship for a while, they find a safe containing a rare [[Quantum Force Gemerald]], and a list of passengers on board the vessel, including Mrs. Astor's late husband. The crew decides to stay in one of the cabins. Fry, unable to sleep, walks to [[Lake Mutagenic|the toxic lake]]. Leela, feeling guilty about how she treated Fry, goes to look for him to apologize. She finds him and tries to stop him, but Fry, thinking she's still mad at him, jumps in anyway. She goes out on the lake and pulls him out, only to find now that he is severely mutated. Having had enough of the situation, Leela, along with Fry and the rest of the crew, starts a revolt against the street dwellers. Fry returns to the surface for Bender, so that he can bend the [[West Side Pipeway]] to send all the sewage back up the pipes. This leads to the streets of [[New New York]] being covered with sewage. Mrs. Astor demands something to be done, and the Mayor orders an [[Antarian]] to send all the waste to [[Madison Cube Garden]].<br />
<br />
=== Act III: "What goes down must back up!" ===<br />
[[File:Mrs. Astor and Mayor Poopenmeyer decide to grant the Sewer Mutants their freedom.jpg|thumb|left|[[Mrs. Astor]] and [[Mayor C. Randall Poopenmeyer|Mayor Poopenmeyer]] decide how to handle the [[Devolution Revolution]].]]<br />
With Leela in charge, the Mutants go up onto the surface and demand equal rights. Mrs. Astor orders [[Hobsy|her butler]] to fire an [[I See BM]] missile, which misses the Mutants and hits Madison Cube Garden, sending a tidal wave of sewage at them. Just before they are covered with sewage, Fry appears and uses the jewel to separate the sewage (emulating the Biblical scene with Moses and the Red Sea). Fry reveals to Mrs. Astor that they found the wreckage of the ''Land Titanic'', along with a list of passengers, which included Mutants. Fry reveals [[Leela's grandmother|an old and aged mutant]]: Leela's maternal grandmother, who was a young worker on the ''Land Titanic'' when it sunk. She reveals that [[Mr. Astor]] gave [[Life car|his seat]] up for her and [[Leela's great-grandmother|her mother]]. Upon learning this, Mrs. Astor asks for the Mutants to be allowed to the surface, to which Mayor Poopenmeyer agrees. Leela states she now has the stomach to kiss Fry for all he's done. When they kiss, Fry and [[Mr. Astor|the body of another Mutant]] are separated. It turns out that Mr. Astor fell into the toxic lake and mutated when the ''Land Titanic'' sunk, and, when Fry jumped into the lake, he lodged himself into his mouth. Mr. and Mrs. Astor are united once again and hug. The crew returns to the [[Planet Express headquarters]] with Leela's family and celebrate their 100th delivery.<br />

[[File:Table reading of 6ACV12.jpg|thumb|right|The table reading of the episode, with [[Billy West]] to the right.]]<br />
A photo of [[Mike Rowe]]'s [[production]] script was uploaded by Mike Rowe onto his [[Facebook]] page. The cover of the script highlights it as the 100th episode, as well as revealing the title, "The Mutants Are Revolting". This episode was dedicated to the memory of [[Alex Johns]], a producer of ''Futurama'' who passed away at 43 years old.<br />
<br />
== Reception ==<br />
In its original American broadcast, the episode was viewed by an estimated 1.792 million households.<ref>[http://pifeedback.com/eve/forums/a/tpc/f/63310451/m/769102913 Pifeedback.com - Thursday 9/02/10 - Topic]</ref><br />
<br />
== Additional Information ==<br />
<br />
=== Trivia ===<br />
*This is one among few ''Futurama'' [[:Category:Media featuring its title|media featuring its title]].<br />
*The title of this episode has double meaning, which is referenced in a {{cat|newspaper}} headline in the episode - the first being that the mutants revolt against the humans, and the second being that the mutants look revolting. This may be a reference to the stonewall riots, a well known [[Old New York|New York]] event in the {{cat|LGBT character|gay}} rights movement where a sign with the words "homosexuals are revolting" was featured in many news articles of the event.<br />
*This is the second time ''Futurama'' makes a reference to the ''{{w|RMS Titanic|Titanic}}'', the first being in "[[A Flight to Remember]]".<br />
*The Title may also be an allusion to classic Sid Meier strategy game 'Civilization'- When the player would change their form of government a mock-newspaper would appear on the screen reading 'The X Are Revolting!' (with X = Your nation e.g. French)<br />
*[[documentary narrator|The narrator]] of "The Mutant" [[documentary]] is the same voice that narrated the fictional documentaries ''[[documentary#I Dated a Robot!|I Dated a Robot!]]'' and ''[[documentary#None Like It Hot!|Global Warming]]''.<br />
*This is the first time that a ''Futurama'' title caption pops out ''over'' the main title.<br />
*The episode's title caption is 100 using bent girders to spell it to signify that this is ''Futurama'''s 100th episode.<br />
*The song playing at Bender's party is "{{w|The Boogie That Be}}" by the {{w|Black-Eyed Peas}}.<br />
*The song playing at the end of the episode is "{{w|Bend It}}" by {{w|Dave Dee, Dozy, Beaky, Mick and Tich}}.<br />

=== Quotes ===<br />
[[File:Photo of production script for 6ACV12.png|thumb|The cover of the script for the episode.]]<br />
<!--If anyone thinks this is too many quotes, I can get rid of a few.--><br />
<br />
{{q|<br />
<poem>'''Farnsworth''': We've been hired to make our 100th delivery.<br />
''[The crew cheers.]''<br />
'''Zoidberg''': 100!<br />
'''Hermes''': That's almost 10 per year!<br />
'''Bender''': This calls for a party, baby! I'm ordering a hundred kegs, a hundred hookers, and a hundred [[Elvis]] impersonators who aren't above a little hooking, should the occasion arise!</poem><br />
<poem>'''Mrs. Astor''': A Farnsworth, you say? Well, if I'm not mistaken, the Farnsworths have been in [[New New York]] for almost two hundred years.<br />
'''Farnsworth''': Yes, I have.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Narrator''': Far beneath the everyday rumble of limousines and {{w|poodle}} feet, there toil a downtrodden people even less well off than the upper middle class.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Leela''': Let's go. If I say one more thing, I might say it with my evening boot.<br />
'''Mrs. Astor''': Well! Rarely have I never!</poem><br />
<poem>'''Leela''': Oh, Mom, Dad, I can't believe I have to spend the rest of my life in this hellhole. ''[She pauses as her parents look shocked.]'' I'm sorry.<br />
'''Turanga Munda''': It's okay, sweetie. Now that you're here, this hellhole feels more like a nice, regular hole.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Munda''': Look, Leela, there's [[Old Filthful]]. ''[She points to a geyser. It shoots up sewage and mutants take pictures before being covered by the sewage.]''</poem><br />
<poem>'''Leela''': Look at that lake. One dip in that toxic muck and your DNA will be permanently mutated. You'll grow a camel hump or a Zoidberg face.<br />

<poem>'''Turanga Munda''': What's a matter, [[Leela]]? You've hardly touched your toilet clams.<br />

=== Allusions ===<br />
[[File:The Westside Pipeway.png|thumb|right|225px|The [[Westside Pipeway]] is a reference to the ''Great Machine'' in ''{{w|Metropolis (film)|Metropolis}}''.]]<br />
[[File:greatmachine.jpg|thumb|right|225px|The ''Great Machine'' in ''{{w|Metropolis (film)|Metropolis}}''.]]<br />
*When [[H. G. Blob]] enters the 100th delivery party, he says "Hey, Hey Hey", much like {{w|Fat Albert}}.<br />
*The ''[[Land Titanic]]''{{'}}s name and appearance, how it sunk, and its old ballroom floor, as well as finding a huge gem in a safe, are all references to the famous ''{{w|RMS Titanic|Titanic}}'' incident and {{w|Titanic (1997 film)|the 1997 film based on that incident}}.<br />
*The laptop with a toilet seat for a lid seen outside Brown University is a reference to the Apple {{w|iBook G3}} "clamshell" laptop, whose rounded shape was compared by many reviewers to a toilet seat.<br />
*[[Dwayne]] asks [[Devo]] to play "{{w|Whip It}}", which is probably Devo's most famous single.<br />
**The song that Devo plays instead of "Whip It" is "{{w|Beautiful World}}", another popular single by them.<br />
**When [[Dwayne]] asks, "Are we not men now?", he's making another Devo reference to the song "{{w|Jocko Homo}}", specifically the lyric "Are we not men? We are Devo!" (which also makes up the title of {{w|Are We Not Men? We Are Devo!}}, their 1978 debut album).<br />
**When [[Mark Mothersbaugh]] responds, he states that he's "40% potato", another reference to [[Devo]], more specifically their fans who are called "Spuds".<br />
*The [[Million Mutant March]] is a reference to the {{w|Million Man March}}.<br />
*A location in the sewers that [[Turanga Leela|Leela]]'s parents show her is [[Old Filthful]], a reference to {{w|Old Faithful}}.<br />
*The missile that is fired at [[Madison Cube Garden]] is an [[I See BM]], a reference to an {{w|ICBM}}, which stands for Inter-Continental Ballistic Missile.<br />
*Mutant [[Fry]] declaring, "Let my people stay" and using a toilet plunger to part the massive sewage is a reference to the story of {{w|Moses}} in {{w|Exodus}} and the parting of the {{w|Red Sea}}. More specifically, the scene is a parody of the scene from ''{{w|The Ten Commandments (1956 film)|The Ten Commandments}}''.<br />
*One of the sewer mutants is Krumm from {{w|Aaahh!!! Real Monsters}}.<br />
*The [[Westside Pipeway]] resembles the ''Great Machine'' from {{w|Fritz Lang}}'s movie ''{{w|Metropolis (film)|Metropolis}}''. The film is about a future where the rich and powerful live on top a city, while the exploited workers live a life of austerity underground.<br />
*The "2, 4, 6 eyes..." chant is a reference to the well known "2, 4, 6, 8..." chant.<br />
*The most famous scene of ''{{w|The Seven Year Itch}}'' is parodied, as previously done in "[[Attack of the Killer App]]".<br />
*The "[[Waldorf Asteroid]]" is a parody of the {{w|Waldorf-Astoria}}, a famous luxury hotel.<br />
*In addition, Mr. Astor is probably a direct reference to {{w|John Jacob Astor IV}} of the {{w|RMS Titanic|RMS ''Titanic''}}, who is rumored to have selflessly sacrificed his spot in a lifeboat for a young immigrant named Louis.<br />
*When mutant [[Fry]] says, "What goes down, must back up!", the line is a reference to Newton's Law Of Gravity: "What goes up, must come back down."<br />
*After getting washed away by the westside pipeway's explosion, Leela's dad says that those mutants are "with the C.H.U.D.s now," a reference to the 1984 B-horror film ''C.H.U.D.'' (an acronym for "Cannibalistic Humanoid Underground Dwellers"). A {{s|season 9|ninth season}} episode of ''[[The Simpsons]]'', titled "{{s|The City of New York vs. Homer Simpson}}", also has a couple of references to the C.H.U.D.s.<br />
*The [[Michael Collins Mix]] references {{w|Michael Collins (Irish leader)|Michael Collins}} and the famous {{w|Tom Collins|Collins Mix}}. As the drink was seen in the context of the [[Devolution Revolution]], it is likely that it is a parody of Michael Collins, who was an {{w|Ireland|Irish}} revolutionary leader. This may be a double allusion. Michael Collins was also the name of the astronaut who piloted the command module for Apollo 11, making him one of the first three people to travel to the [[moon]]. On the bottle of Collins mix, there is a moon and [[star]]s.<br />
*Twice in the episode, a mutant with three breasts can be seen, a possible homage to the character Mary from the science fiction movie {{w|Total Recall}}. The only difference is that the mutant is less human in appearance.<br />
*After [[Professor Farnsworth]] had said they're making their 100th delivery, Hermes' response is "That's almost 10 per year," indicating that Futurama's TV run so far, from 1999 to 2010, covers a similar length (a bit over ten years) of story time.<br />
*Mrs. Astor reads the magazine ''Now Dowager'', a reference to the film {{w|Now, Voyager}}.<br />
<br />
=== Continuity ===<br />
[[File:Angry Norwegian 6ACV12.png|thumb|right|A priceless can of ''[[Angry Norwegian]]'' (bottom right) is seen in the sewers. In "[[A Fishful of Dollars]]", Fry had the last known can in existence.]]<br />
*At the 100th delivery party, [[100th delivery party#Guests|many characters from previous episodes]] can be seen.<br />
*The fact that [[Lake Mutagenic]] mutates unmutated beings is re-established.<br />
*We learn that [[Leela]] has [[Leela's Grandmother|a living grandmother]].<br />
*The fact that [[Leela]] claims herself as an alien, but is really a [[Sewer Mutants|Mutant]] is re-established.<br />
*The Mutants fight for their rights on the surface, which we've come to know in "[[Leela's Homeworld]]" that it was illegal for them to be there.<br />
*The running gag of [[Bender]] saying, "Neat" and then taking a picture with a flash camera reappears here.<br />
*The bull horn that [[Leela]] uses is the same one that Leela used to lead the [[feministas]] from ''[[Into the Wild Green Yonder]]''.<br />
*The [[Fry-Leela relationship|relationship between Fry and Leela]] is a main theme in the episode. The [[Bender-Amy relationship|relationship between Bender and Amy]], however, is only referenced at the end when they dance together.<br />
*A priceless can of [[Angry Norwegian]] anchovies can be seen on the ground as Fry leaves the ''Titanic'' to go swim in the lake. He had a similar can in the episode, "[[A Fishful of Dollars]]".<br />
*The [[Hyper-Chicken]] apparently survived his car crash from "Proposition Infinity".<br />
*Before Bender's party, he calls for Fry and Hermes, the only two known humans he does not wish to kill. Hermes was added to Bender's "do-not-kill" list in "[[Lethal Inspection]]".<br />
*The Nude Bartender from [[Planet XXX]] is seen attending Bender's party. Evidently, he was not censored with the rest of the planet in "[[In-A-Gadda-Da-Leela]]".<br />
* In "[[Love's Labours Lost in Space]]" Amy says that rings are stupid, and no-one likes them any more, implying that it was once popular to like rings. In the flashback, we see [[Mr. Astor]] wearing them on his hat.<br />
* A quantum force gemerald appears for the first time since "[[Less than Hero]]".<br />
<br />
=== Goofs ===<br />
*When [[Mr. Astor]] lifts his hat for the first time, his head is full of hair. When he lifts it for the second time, however, he's bald.<br />
*During the documentary on Mutants, a poodle is seen walking by (and the narrator states "below poodle feet") even though in "[[Xmas Story]]", Farnsworth established that [[Xmas|Christmas]] trees were "gone with the way of the poodle", meaning poodles no longer existed.<br />
**Farnsworth's comment could be interpreted as a fad that's merely gone like saying Disco is dead.<br />
**It could be that poodle remains were found and that the poodle was cloned, bringing them back to life, like in "[[Jurassic Bark]]" where the remains of Fry's dog [[Seymour]] are almost used to clone him. <br />
**It's also possible that the events of ''Into the Wild Green Yonder'' brought all extinct species back to life. <br />
**Finally, because we don't know the age of the documentary, it may have been made before poodles became extinct.<br />
*In one scene when Hermes and Fry are by the ship talking about Leela and the Party and so forth, Hermes' shirt is seen without buttons, then in the next scene his shirt has buttons.<br />
*In this episode, Bender is gyroscopically stable, but Bender has not been stable like this in most other episodes, such as "[[Crimes of the Hot]]".<br />
*Hermes mentions, upon the announcement of Planet Express' 100th delivery, that it must equate to around 10 deliveries per year. However, Planet Express was founded in 2961, therefore if 100 deliveries were to have taken place between then and 3010, it would equate to 2 deliveries per year.<br />
**However, Hermes has only been with the company as early as 2993, and so he may base this off of when he first started, although, this still equates to at least 5 deliveries per year.<br />

}}<br />
After a bungled [[Earth]] [[third Omicronian invasion of Earth|invasion]], [[Omicronians|Omicronian]] leader [[Lrrr]] faces a mid-life crisis.<br />
<br />
In [[2011]], [[Maurice LaMarche]] won a Primetime [[Emmy Award]] for Outstanding Voice-Over Performance for voicing the roles of Lrrr and [[Orson Welles' head]] in this episode.<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, [[Paper-hatted salesman|vomit]], 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}}.<br />
<br />
=== Act II: "I'll do it for free." ===<br />
The crew diagnoses Lrrr and his marriage problems as symptomatic of a {{w|midlife 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 [[The Hip Joint]] 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 />
Fry 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|The War of the Worlds (radio drama)|''War of the 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 />
<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 [[Fry-Leela relationship|kiss on the cheek]].<br />

<br />
=== Trivia ===<br />
*Once again, Maurice LaMarche reprises his Orson Welles impression and his parody of Welles' infamous "{{w|Frozen Peas}}" recording session, having previously reprised this impression for such diverse projects as the Brain in ''{{w|Pinky and the Brain}}'' and Welles himself in the film ''{{w|film|Ed Wood}}'' (although the physical incarnation of Welles was played by {{w|Vincent D'Onofrio}}) and the TV shows ''{{w|The Critic}}'', ''{{w|Hey Arnold!}}'', 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's head|Frank Welker]], {{w|Paul Weller}}, and {{w|H. G. Wells}} among others can be seen beside [[Orson Welles' head]]. <br />
*This is the fifth time Matt Groening's head appears, previous times were "[[Space Pilot 3000]]", "[[Where No Fan Has Gone Before]]", ''[[Bender's Big Score]]'' and ''[[Into the Wild Green Yonder]]''.<br />

=== Allusions ===<br />
<br />
*The episode's title is a reference to either the [[1980s|1984]] film ''{{w|Irreconcilable Differences}}'' or {{w|irrreconcilable differences|the legal term}} that the film is named after.<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 ''{{w|The Twilight Zone}}''.<br />
*Orson Welles recreates his 1938 radio broadcast based on H. G. Wells' book ''{{w|The War of the Worlds}}''.<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 (TV series)|Lost}}''.<br />
*Bender's phrase "Dork calling Orson" when Fry is calling Orson Wells is a reference to the [[1970s|1978]]-1982 {{w|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 />
*Ndnd's line "She is not the boss of you! ''I'' am the boss of you!" is a reference to the video game ''{{w|Zork: Grand Inquisitor}}''.<br />
*The [[Farnsworth Novelty Disintegrator Ray]] that is really a teleporter ray is similar to the {{w|List of Doctor Who items#T|transmat}}, from the science-fiction show ''{{w|Doctor Who}}''. <!-- Episode "{{w|Bad Wolf}}"? --><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 ''Futurama'', 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 />
**[[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 ''[[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) - involuntarily<br />
**{{w|Princess Leia}}'s slave outfit from ''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 [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nlOTRxt-dIw an outtake] from the {{st|Star Trek: The Animated Series|animated ''Star Trek'' series}},<ref>See also ''[[Star Trek]]''.</ref> where [[William Shatner|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 {{s|The Simpsons Movie|''Simpsons'' movie}} will be made, Bender can be heard shouting, "{{s|d'oh|D'OH}}!", which is, of course, {{w|Homer Simpson}}'s [[catchphrase]].<br />
*When Fry is talking to Sergio Aragonés' head, Aragonés says that he likes the tiny doodles in the margins. Aragonés draws little "{{w|Sergio Aragonés#Marginals|marginals}}" for ''{{w|Mad (magazine)|Mad Magazine}}'', which are printed between panels.<br />
<br />
=== Continuity ===<br />
*[[Lrrr]] watches an episode of ''[[The Scary Door]]'', previously seen in many other 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 />
**Grrrl 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 premiere 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 Shoulders]]".<br />
*The [[Hip Joint]], a night club, has previously been seen in several episodes.<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 />
*Lrrr is seen driving his 3011 [[Thundercougarfalconbird]] in "[[Fry Am the Egg Man]]".<br />
<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 Grrrl.<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 and "no one believed him or cared what he had to say".{{er|3ACV07}}<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 />
**Since some time has passed, their openness regarding the matter may have changed.<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, his "LRRR" necklace is legible in the mirror, when it should be reversed, and his reflection puts away its gun before he does.<br />
**Clothing-store mirrors are shown to have reality-altering effects earlier in the series.{{er|1ACV06}}<br />
*According to the episode "When Aliens Attack", Omicron Persei 8 is 1000 light years away so shows are 1000 years late yet Ndnd sees the broadcast.<br />
**That only pertains to old [[20th century|20th-century]] broadcasts and not something of that time's standards which are specifically being transmitted toward the planet. This corroborates with Professor Farnsworth's claim in "[[A Clone of My Own]]" that the [[speed of light]] was changed in [[2208]].<br />
*In Fry's third revision of his comic book, a meteor (wished by his eponymous character) crashes through Invader X's spaceship and kills him, therefore creating a hole in the side of the spaceship. This would have allowed everything in the spaceship to be sucked through the hole, or would try to, but doesn't happen at all.<br />
**It is likely that despite Fry's employment, he neglected this fact for the sake of fiction (it is a comic book), or has neglected this fact entirely.<br />

"'''Three Hundred Big Boys'''" is the seventieth episode of ''[[Futurama]]'', the sixteenth of the [[Season 4|fourth production season]] and the eleventh of the [[Broadcast season 5|fifth broadcast season]]. It aired 15 June, 2003 on FOX. When each [[Earthican]] recieves a three hundred-dollar government refund, the [[Planet Express crew]] members pursue their respective dreams and desires. [[Roseanne Barr]] guest stars as [[Roseanne Barr's hologram|a hologram of herself]].<br />
<br />
== The Story ==<br />
=== Act I: "I've sent you each 300 buckaroos in the form of a Tricky Dick Fun Bill! Knock yourselves out!" ===<br />
Zapp Brannigan has led [[Earth]] forces to victory over the 'weak and woman-like' [[Spiderians]] of [[Tarantulon 6]] and seized plenty of spoils: one trillion dollars in silk and treasure. [[Richard Nixon's head]] decides to refund the surplus to the taxpayers, meaning that every citizen of Earth gets [[Nixon $300 Bill|three hundred dollars]]. The crew have already acquired their shiny new $300 bills and now wonder what to do with them. [[Turanga Leela|Leela]] decides to swim with a whale, while [[Scruffy]] gets a $300 haircut as his current one has lost its "pizzazz." [[Dr. John A. Zoidberg|Zoidberg]] wants to live like a rich man, while [[Fry]] decides to blow it all on a hundred cups of coffee. Brannigan calls to invite the crew to a special reception and display of the National Silk Surplus. All of [[New New York]] is celebrating the newly acquired riches, while [[Kif]] and [[Amy]] enjoy a ride on a paddle plane Kif rented with his tax rebate. Amy has spent her money on a [[Talking Tattoo|talking tattoo]] on her upper right arm. Meanwhile, [[Professor Hubert J. Farnsworth|Professor Farnsworth]] visits [[New New York#GeneWorks, S.K.G.|GeneWorks, S.K.G.]] to acquire one pound of stem cells to fight his ageing process, but the effects will be temporary. <br />
At the same time, [[Bender Bending Rodríguez|Bender]] visits [[New New York#Hacking Jack's Fine Smokables|Hacking Jack's Fine Smokables]] in search of the ultimate smoke and feasts his eyes on the [[Products#Le Grand Cigar|Le Grand Cigar]]. Unfortunately it costs $10.000, so Bender gets a few burglar's tools for $300 instead for later use. [[Hermes Conrad|Hermes]] has bought his son [[Dwight Conrad|Dwight]] a set of ''[[Products#Bamboo Boogie Boots|Bamboo Boogie Boot]]'', a kind of powered stilts, which Dwight is not too happy with. Hermes demonstrates them and loses control. Dwight tries to save his father but is stuck up the stilts with him, resulting in the two of them roaming the city completely out of control. <br />
[[File:$300 bill.jpg|left|thumb|$300 bill]]<br />
The Professor leaves GeneWorks looking somewhat younger and instantly falls for a [[April|young lady dressed in leather]], while Zoidberg is looking into diamonds but can't understand what people like in shiny pebbles. Leela has reached the aquarium and is booking a swim with [[Mushu]], the pygmy sperm whale, while Fry is on his second cup of coffee (whale size) at ''Starfishbucks Coffee''. Kif presents Amy with a special gift, a watch that has two sets of hands to show the time wherever Kif and Amy are. As she leans to greet Fry and Leela she sees passing underneath, the paddle plane swerves out of control and the watch falls into the pool of Mushu, who swallows it.<br />
<br />
=== Act II: "Come on, Mushu! Barf! Barf like a freshman!" ===<br />
Kif is down in the dumps, but Leela and Scruffy have an idea to recover the watch. Fry, Leela, Kif and Amy visit [[Elzar's Fine Cuisine]] (Fry being at cup #31), and Leela sneaks into the kitchen and pulls the plug of Elzar's fresh fish freezer. At the same time, the Professor and his newly aquired love share a table at the same restaurant (she believes he's 25), and Zoidberg is not happy with Paté de Foie Gras and caviar and refuses to pay. Meanwhile, Bender is breaking into Hacking Jack's to steal the Grand Cigar, but is spotted by a surveilance camera and [[Smitty and URL]] take up the hunt. The next morning, [[Elzar]] disposes of the now rotten fish into the nearest dumpster, where it is eagerly awaited by Leela, Amy and Kif. Bender is now hanging out at [[New New York#Guadalajara Brown Drip Gourmet Coffee|Guadalajara Brown Drip Gourmet Coffee]] with Fry (now at cup #52), who is showing strong signs of caffeine intoxication. Bender intends to save his new illegally acquired stoagie for the party that night, as it's too fine to blow its smoke in just anyone's face. Leela is having her meeting with Mushu and has stuffed her swimsuit full of rotten fish to make Mushu first eat it and then barf, freeing Amy's watch. Everything goes as planned, but as Mushu turns out to be rather hungry, Leela ends up minus a swimsuit and has to acquire a makeshift dress made from a warning banner. Zoidberg is trying to play golf like rich people do, but finds it unsatisfactory, partly because the golf clubs can't resist his claws and the golf balls are tasteless. Leela's plan works out and Mushu barfs bigtime, releasing both the watch and Leela's swimsuit. Kif dives into the pool and gets covered all in whale vomit, but retrieves the watch. However, the [[Whale Biologist]] sends [[Smitty]] and [[URL]] to arrest him because he has got aquarium property, which works in Bender's favour by allowing him to escape, as Smitty and URL were after him for the cigar heist.<br />
<br />
=== Act III: "The loot! The loot!! The loot is on fire!!" ===<br />
The reception at the presentation of the National Silk Surplus is going quite well. All of the high society attendees, including Richard Nixon's head, Zapp Brannigan, [[Mom]] and [[Walt, Larry and Igner|her sons]], [[Mayor C. Randall Poopenmeyer|Mayor Poopenmeyer]] and a lot of other celebrities and important persons.<br />
<br />
Zoidberg tries to aquire one of the tapestries, but finds it overpriced at $1 billion. He realizes that even with $300 he is still desperately poor and that money brought him no happiness. Fry has arrived at cup #99 and is shaking uncontrollably, and Bender deems the time has come for the lighting of the Grand Cigar. Amy is sad because Kif is in jail, and Scruffy is trying to comfort her. Meanwhile, in [[New New York#Commander Riker's Island Jail|Commander Riker's Island Jail]], Kif is told that he is not imprisoned for taking the watch but for being covered in ambergris, a precious substance found in the digestive tract of the sperm whale and used to make perfume. As he is covered in the stuff, Kif sheds his skin and rushes to join the reception. He even brings Amy a flagon full of ambergris, which she embraces at once.<br />
<br />
The Professor's stem cells lose their youthesizing power, and he reverts to an old man. He finds that his love has used her tax rebate to enhance her looks a bit too; in reality she is (in his words) "fat as the queen of sea cows". The two of them resume making out, as they now know the other's true looks. Hermes and Dwight, still on the Bamboo Boogie Boots, stagger in through a window and knock the Grand Cigar from Bender's hand onto a tapestry of Zapp's conquest, ultimately setting all the silks ablaze.<br />
<br />
Everyone is in mortal danger, but Fry doesn't notice as all he can think about is coffee. He drinks his 100th cup and enters an enlightened state in which time seems to freeze. He calmly carries everyone out of danger and extinguishes the fire. Leela attributes the rescue to an "orange blur."<br />
<br />
Outside, Zoidberg has joined a few [[hobos]] and found out how money could make him happy: by buying a meal for his new friends. Everyone joins them, and Hermes gives the penny left from the purchase of the Boogie Boots to Dwight, who decides to invest it in five shares of Amazon.com (which Hermes considers to be a risky investment, to his joy). Richard Nixon's head is angry because the entire surplus has burned away, but everyone else is happy because the tax rebate at least resulted in a few mildly interesting stories. Bender, a bit disappointed that his story "petered out at the end," is finally seized by URL and Smitty and beaten up, giving his story the closure he craved.<br />

== Additional Info ==<br />
[[File:Nov2007Calendar.JPG|thumb|November - 2007 [[Calendar]]]]<br />
<br />
=== Trivia ===<br />
*See [[Earthican $300 Bill]] to know how each character spent their $300.<br />
*If the Spiderians' treasure was $1 trillion, and everyone on Earth received $300, this means that in the year 3003, Earth is approximately 3,333,333,333 in population.<br />
*The idea for this episode came from George W. Bush announcing that he would give all Americans a $300 tax refund. However, one week later the terrorist attacks of 9/11 happened. The story was forgotten by most, except the Futurama staff who wrote this episode.<br />
*As Fry drinks more and more coffee, the effects of the caffeine make him more and more agitated until the 100th, when he relaxes into a calm Zen-like state, albeit moving at several hundred times normal speed. When the cup counter appears, the zeroes in 100 are connected, forming an infinity symbol, possibly to indicate his transition to the hyper-caffeinated Zen state.<br>There are several possible science-fiction inspirations for this scene:<br />
**Frank Herbert's novel ''Dune'', where Paul-Muad'Dib consumes ever greater quantities of Spice until he finally takes the water of life and time and space comes together. In the TV series of the same name we even see the same glowing light effects and distortions of time and space. The character Miles Teg in Dune also has a genetically inherited trait that allows him to move so quickly he nearly freezes time. However, after using this power he needs to consume immense amounts of food and ages considerably.<br />
**The classic sci-fi story ''The New Accelerator'' by H.G.Wells, the accelerator being a formula allowing the user to stretch minutes into hours of personal time perception.<br />
**The original-series ''Star Trek'' episode ''Wink of an Eye''.<br />
**The 2002 film ''Clockstoppers'', which in turn was based on ''The Girl, The Gold Watch and Everything''.<br />
**The hummingbird he sees is particularly reminiscent to a time-slowing scene in ''{{w|Star Trek: Insurrection}}''.<br />
*The presence of the [[whale biologist]] is a possible reference to Dr. {{st|Gillian Taylor}}, the assertive whale biologist in ''{{w|Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home}}''.<br />
*Nixon's line "The Loot, the loot, the loot is on fire!" was a parody of the 1985 dance hit "The Roof is on Fire" by Rock Master Scott & the Dynamic Three. The song's chorus includes the frequently referenced line, "The roof, the roof, the roof is on fire."<br />
*The lab name and the sign reading ''Geneworks S.K.G.'' are a parody of the famous movie company Dreamworks.<br />
*Zapp Brannigan's attack on Tarantulon 6 is taken from Robert Heinlein's ''Starship Troopers'' and the subsequent film.<br />
*Nixon's consultation of Voodoo economists is a reference to Reagan-era fiscal policy derided by critics as Voodoo Economics.<br />
*The scene in which Bender steals the cigar is based on ''Mission Impossible''.<br />
*Roseanne Barr appears/guest stars as a holographic encyclopedia.<br />
*At one point in the episode, Professor Farnsworth takes his leave, saying, "... gotta go, fight club." This references the movie Fight Club. However, it is also contradictory to the first and second rules of the club, which both forbid talking about fight club.<br />
*This episode marks one of several times in which Leela does her {{w|Kiai|'karate cry'}} while performing a simple task - in this case, pulling the plug on Elzar's freezer.<br />
*Kif offers to make Amy a perfume from the ambergris made of lilac, jasmine and frankenberry. Franken Berry is a cereal in General Mills' monster line.<br />
*URL says "grand theft tobacco" when he sees Bender stealing the cigar — a parody of "grand theft auto", cop-talk for stealing cars.<br />
*Apparently, Amy had her "Obscene Tattoo" from the episode "[[A Fishful of Dollars]]" removed because it's no longer on her arm when she gets her new talking one with her tax refund.<br />
*[[Gus]] describes himself and his friend, [[Dandy Jim]], as "hungry, hungry hobos". This is a reference to the children's tabletop game ''{{w|Hungry Hungry Hippos}}''.<br />
* When Bender sneaks past the police at the whale show, he is humming {{w|Michael Jackson}}'s "{{w|Smooth Criminal}}."<br />
*Dwight says he's going to use his single penny to buy five shares of Amazon.com, and Hermes calls him a risk taker. This is a reference to frequent complaints by stockholders, before and around the time the episode was written, that Amazon.com was not becoming profitable fast enough. However, Amazon.com would announce its first profit in January [[2002]], one and a half years before the episode aired.<ref>{{cite web |url = http://www.nytimes.com/2002/01/23/business/technology-a-surprise-from-amazon-its-first-profit.html|title = A Surprise from Amazon: Its First Profit|author = Saul Hansell|date = 2002-01-23|publisher = The New York Times|site = NYTimes.com| accessdate = 2011-06-24}}</ref><br />

=== Goofs ===<br />
*At the art exhibit, Fry is shown with at least three 3-dollar notes, although he was drinking his 99th cup of coffee, so he should only have one left.<br />
**It's plausible that the coffee at the art exhibit was complimentary.<br />
**Also the three hundred dollar bill was not the only money he had.<br />
*When Farnsworth runs out of the royal pyjamas, he makes 'panting' sounds even though his mouth is closed.<br />
*When Rosanne is laughing at the end of the episode, the movements of her mouth don't match how she laughs.<br />

The reception at the presentation of the National Silk Surplus is going quite well. All of the high society attendees, including Richard Nixon's head, Zapp Brannigan, [[Mom]] and [[Walt, Larry and Igner|her sons]], [[Mayor C. Randall Poopenmeyer|Mayor Poopenmeyer]] and a lot of other celebrities and important persons.<br />
<br />
Zoidberg tries to aquire one of the tapestries, but finds it overpriced at $1 billion. He realizes that even with $300 he is still desperately poor and that money brought him no happiness. Fry has arrived at cup #99 and is shaking uncontrollably, and Bender deems the time has come for the lighting of the Grand Cigar. Amy is sad because Kif is in jail, and Scruffy is trying to comfort her. Meanwhile, in [[New New York#Commander Riker's Island Jail|Commander Riker's Island Jail]], Kif is told that he is not imprisoned for taking the watch but for being covered in ambergris, a precious substance found in the digestive tract of the sperm whale and used to make perfume. As he is covered in the stuff, Kif sheds his skin and rushes to join the reception. He even brings Amy a flagon full of ambergris, which she embraces at once.<br />
<br />
The Professor's stem cells lose their youthesizing power, and he reverts to an old man. He finds that his love has used her tax rebate to enhance her looks a bit too; in reality she is (in his words) "fat as the queen of sea cows". The two of them resume making out, as they now know the other's true looks. Hermes and Dwight, still on the Bamboo Boogie Boots, stagger in through a window and knock the Grand Cigar from Bender's hand onto a tapestry of Zapp's conquest, ultimately setting all the silks ablaze.<br />
<br />
Everyone is in mortal danger, but Fry doesn't notice as all he can think about is coffee. He drinks his 100th cup and enters an enlightened state in which time seems to freeze. He calmly carries everyone out of danger and extinguishes the fire. Leela attributes the rescue to an "orange blur."<br />
<br />
Outside, Zoidberg has joined a few [[hobos]] and found out how money could make him happy: by buying a meal for his new friends. Everyone joins them, and Hermes gives the penny left from the purchase of the Boogie Boots to Dwight, who decides to invest it in five shares of Amazon.com (which Hermes considers to be a risky investment, to his joy). Richard Nixon's head is angry because the entire surplus has burned away, but everyone else is happy because the tax rebate at least resulted in a few mildly interesting stories. Bender, a bit disappointed that his story "petered out at the end," is finally seized by URL and Smitty and beaten up, giving his story the closure he craved.<br />

=== Trivia ===<br />
*See [[Earthican $300 Bill]] to know how each character spent their $300.<br />
*If the Spiderians' treasure was $1 trillion, and everyone on Earth received $300, this means that in the year 3003, Earth is approximately 3,333,333,333 in population.<br />
*The idea for this episode came from George W. Bush announcing that he would give all Americans a $300 tax refund. However, one week later the terrorist attacks of 9/11 happened. The story was forgotten by most, except the Futurama staff who wrote this episode.<br />
*As Fry drinks more and more coffee, the effects of the caffeine make him more and more agitated until the 100th, when he relaxes into a calm Zen-like state, albeit moving at several hundred times normal speed. When the cup counter appears, the zeroes in 100 are connected, forming an infinity symbol, possibly to indicate his transition to the hyper-caffeinated Zen state.<br>There are several possible science-fiction inspirations for this scene:<br />
**Frank Herbert's novel ''Dune'', where Paul-Muad'Dib consumes ever greater quantities of Spice until he finally takes the water of life and time and space comes together. In the TV series of the same name we even see the same glowing light effects and distortions of time and space. The character Miles Teg in Dune also has a genetically inherited trait that allows him to move so quickly he nearly freezes time. However, after using this power he needs to consume immense amounts of food and ages considerably.<br />
**The classic sci-fi story ''The New Accelerator'' by H.G.Wells, the accelerator being a formula allowing the user to stretch minutes into hours of personal time perception.<br />
**The original-series ''Star Trek'' episode ''Wink of an Eye''.<br />
**The 2002 film ''Clockstoppers'', which in turn was based on ''The Girl, The Gold Watch and Everything''.<br />
**The hummingbird he sees is particularly reminiscent to a time-slowing scene in ''{{w|Star Trek: Insurrection}}''.<br />
*The presence of the [[whale biologist]] is a possible reference to Dr. {{st|Gillian Taylor}}, the assertive whale biologist in ''{{w|Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home}}''.<br />
*Nixon's line "The Loot, the loot, the loot is on fire!" was a parody of the 1985 dance hit "The Roof is on Fire" by Rock Master Scott & the Dynamic Three. The song's chorus includes the frequently referenced line, "The roof, the roof, the roof is on fire."<br />
*The lab name and the sign reading ''Geneworks S.K.G.'' are a parody of the famous movie company Dreamworks.<br />
*Zapp Brannigan's attack on Tarantulon 6 is taken from Robert Heinlein's ''Starship Troopers'' and the subsequent film.<br />
*Nixon's consultation of Voodoo economists is a reference to Reagan-era fiscal policy derided by critics as Voodoo Economics.<br />
*The scene in which Bender steals the cigar is based on ''Mission Impossible''.<br />
*Roseanne Barr appears/guest stars as a holographic encyclopedia.<br />
*At one point in the episode, Professor Farnsworth takes his leave, saying, "... gotta go, fight club." This references the movie Fight Club. However, it is also contradictory to the first and second rules of the club, which both forbid talking about fight club.<br />
*This episode marks one of several times in which Leela does her {{w|Kiai|'karate cry'}} while performing a simple task - in this case, pulling the plug on Elzar's freezer.<br />
*Kif offers to make Amy a perfume from the ambergris made of lilac, jasmine and frankenberry. Franken Berry is a cereal in General Mills' monster line.<br />
*URL says "grand theft tobacco" when he sees Bender stealing the cigar — a parody of "grand theft auto", cop-talk for stealing cars.<br />
*Apparently, Amy had her "Obscene Tattoo" from the episode "[[A Fishful of Dollars]]" removed because it's no longer on her arm when she gets her new talking one with her tax refund.<br />
*[[Gus]] describes himself and his friend, [[Dandy Jim]], as "hungry, hungry hobos". This is a reference to the children's tabletop game ''{{w|Hungry Hungry Hippos}}''.<br />
* When Bender sneaks past the police at the whale show, he is humming {{w|Michael Jackson}}'s "{{w|Smooth Criminal}}."<br />
*Dwight says he's going to use his single penny to buy five shares of Amazon.com, and Hermes calls him a risk taker. This is a reference to frequent complaints by stockholders, before and around the time the episode was written, that Amazon.com was not becoming profitable fast enough. However, Amazon.com would announce its first profit in January [[2002]], one and a half years before the episode aired.<ref>{{cite web |url = http://www.nytimes.com/2002/01/23/business/technology-a-surprise-from-amazon-its-first-profit.html|title = A Surprise from Amazon: Its First Profit|author = Saul Hansell|date = 2002-01-23|publisher = The New York Times|site = NYTimes.com| accessdate = 2011-06-24}}</ref><br />

*At the art exhibit, Fry is shown with at least three 3-dollar notes, although he was drinking his 99th cup of coffee, so he should only have one left.<br />
**It's plausible that the coffee at the art exhibit was complimentary.<br />
**Also the three hundred dollar bill was not the only money he had.<br />
*When Farnsworth runs out of the royal pyjamas, he makes 'panting' sounds even though his mouth is closed.<br />

'''Futurama Comics #65''' is the sixty-fifth [[comic]] issue, scheduled to be released January, 2013 in the US. <!-- insert brief plot summary here --><br />
<br />
== The Story ==<br />
The stakes have never been higher when the [[Planet Express]] crew needs to deliver a check to an alien race to pay the [[Earth]]'s solar power bill. But it is going to take a little gamesmanship and even more dumb luck to prevent another planetary Ice Age. Fortunately, [[Bender]] and [[Fry]] have both -- in spades.<br />
<!-- Under each act heading, give a brief summary of the major events of that act. The acts begin and end at points where there would be an ad break if this were an episode, probably at the middle of the comic.<br />

*This story will be released in UK issue #66, but it is currently unknown what the other story is; the description for this comic in the back of UK #65 only notes the plot of this story and below it, where the description of the other plot should be, a basic description of a plot for the other story. Because of this, it is possible that the story in US issue [[Futurama Comics 64|#64]] will not be featured in this comic, and the story from US issue #67 will be published in UK #66. If this proves to be true, this will mark the second time in which UK releases have skipped an Xmas story.<br />

'''Futurama Comics #64''' is the sixty-fourth [[comic]] issue, scheduled to be released November, 2012 in the US. <!-- insert brief plot summary here --><br />
<br />
== The Story ==<br />
[[Professor Farnsworth]] sends the [[Planet Express crew]] to [[Neptune]] to shut down [[Robot Santa]]'s naughty or nice tracking system, which is spreading embarrassing personal information about everyone across the [[Internet]]. However, an overload of so much secret information may very well destroy [[Earth]] unless Robot Santa can bring a little peace on Earth and goodwill to all men.<br />

== General Trivia ==<br />
*This is one among few ''Futurama'' [[:Category:Media featuring its title|media featuring its title]].<br />
*The film contains a rare use of the main Futurama theme (albeit a remixed version) as incidental music, during the Gold Death Star battle.<br />
*While anchovies and cows are extinct, pandas are apparently not.<br />
*When in Egypt, Bender says "Scarab forearm bird bird bird!", which, when translated to hieroglyphs, means "kheper d", then a, w, o, or m three times. In short, nothing. (This is also the same version of the Egyptian used by the Pharaoh Skinner in The Simpsons Bible Stories episode)<br />
*The first time Bender says "And I bet it's going to get a lot more confusing!", he looks directly at the viewer, a reference to the fact that a large amount of time travel and retroactive continuity is caused through the following events in the movie, due to a partial rewrite of history that scrambles the events of a few episodes (the most confusing being the events of "[[The Cryonic Woman]]", [[Luck of the Fryrish]], and "[[Jurassic Bark]]".). This is possibly the only time a character in ''Futurama'' addresses the audience directly, other than the narrator.<br />
*As noticed in "[[Space Pilot 3000]]", using a Suicide Booth costs 25 cents. In the year 2000, Bender tries to use a phone booth, mistaking it for a Suicide booth. The phone booth costs 50 cents. Thus, it is cheaper to kill oneself in the year 3000 than to make one phone call in the year 2000.<br />
*Email addresses on the petition included; Zoidberg@freemail.web, awong79@marslink.web and bender@ilovebender.com.<br />
**Amy's email address suggests her year of birth to be 2979. Strangely, this is seen on the petition before she signs.<br />
***But then again we never really see her sign, so she could have signed the petition earlier, before they came and talked to Leela.<br />
**Bender's email address is hosted by the official Futurama site, which was created shortly before this film's release.<br />
*[[Hybraxi]] is a combination of ''hybrid'' and ''taxi''.<br />
*According to the time equation, every living time duplicate is doomed. However, nothing is said about duplicates of non-living things. If non-living duplicates are also doomed, then all the treasure he stole would have already been destroyed too.<br />
**Which seems to be implied by the fact that it does not reappear in ''[[The Beast with a Billion Backs]]''.<br />
**It is possible that the treasures taken was not the time duplicate of anything since they (the treasure) never travelled back in time, however this would paradoxically make everyone remember items such as the Mona Lisa having been complete despite Bender stealing it beforehand.<br />
***The fact that the crew members could remember the artefacts such as the complete Mona Lisa implies that the same chain of events that we're used to occurred at the same time as the reality where Bender stole them (i.e. they were completed and then went through history in the same way as before Bender stole them and they were simultaneously stolen by Bender) which implies that they are in-fact time travel duplicates even though they never travelled backwards in time (although Bender did which may explain how the treasure became duplicated because he altered time). This is further reinforced when we see the many duplicate Benders exploding, since they explode with the artefacts they're holding instead of simply dropping or damaging them (the treasure couldn't be completely destroyed in a normal explosion since Lars was killed by Bender exploding and his corpse survived) we can see that the artefacts are doomed in the same way, similarly to the living duplicates.<br />
*The time equation also says that every duplicate is doomed, it's just "a matter of time." However, because this period of time is never specified, it is possible that the duplicates could have lived as long as any other person. Still, none in the show do.<br />
* Michelle's original "defrost" date was 254 years after 2012, or the year 2266, which is when the first season on the original Star Trek series is supposed to take place.<br />

<br />
== Continuity ==<br />
There are several references to earlier episodes of ''Futurama''. Following episodes are mentioned;<br />
*{{e|1ACV01}}<br />
**Bender flies by when Fry is frozen and destroys New York.<br />
**Bender mistakes the frozen Fry for the one he is hunting.<br />
**Bender meets [[Michelle]] and the boyfriend she drove off with just before Fry got frozen.<br />
**Fry touches his own butt when he wants the wallet in his own frozen self, his frozen self wakes up, and he continues to hide inside the tube to 7.95 years later.<br />
*{{e|2ACV19}}<br />
**When Fry (as [[Lars Fillmore]]) decides to freeze himself (again), he uses the tube with his girlfriend in (which is at 254 years at the time), he changes the date for the freeze to 990 years, revealing that otherwise the events of that episode would not have happened.<br />
**Thus revealing that events of that episode took place in 3002.<br />
*{{e|3ACV19}}<br />
**Fry tells Farnsworth that they went back in time to Roswell, which Farnsworth cannot remember (and also that it proves nothing).<br />
*{{e|4ACV07}}<br />
**[[Seymour Asses]] is seen several times, and it is revealed that they still keep his fossilised version at [[Planet Express]].<br />
**When the building crashes with Fry in it, Seymour is thus fossilised. Which is also important to know why this ''must'' take place in 2012, because Farnsworth discovers in the episode that Seymour lived 12 more years after Fry left him - thus dying in 2012.<br />
**When Bender is looking for Fry in the year 2000, he encounters a drunken man in the phone booth speaking to his bartender. The commentary of the DVD reveals that this is in fact the Cryogenisist from Jurassic Bark. In Jurassic Bark, the Cryogenisist is seen saying "I am one hung over cryogenisist." Here, he is seen drunk on New Years Eve.<br />
*{{e|3ACV20}}<br />
**When Bender uses the time code for the first time, the entire footage featuring the God Space Entity (except the time sphere going to Earth) is clips from the episode.<br />
<br />
== Goofs ==<br />
[[File:BBS Mistake 1.jpg|thumb|right|Amy with three arms]]<br />
[[File:Mistake 2.jpg|thumb|right|Fry disappearing incorrectly]]<br />
[[File:BBS Mistake 3.jpg|thumb|right|A typo in the production code]]<br />
[[File:Zoidberg with human hands.png|thumb|right|The first of the two Zoidbergs]]<br />
[[File:NoBenderTattoo.jpg|thumb|right|Fry with no tattoo in "[[Future Stock]]".]]<br />
<br />
*In the opening scene Fry, Bender, Leela and Amy are standing in the hangar then when the camera pans to Zoidberg they are in the conference room on the second floor.<br />
*Bender's title during the introduction sequence is "Assistant Manager of Sales" yet in episodes both before and after his job has always been the company chef.<br />
**He could also have this job.<br />
*In the original 5 minute Comic-Con promo, Leela's dad is seen talking with a regular mouth instead of his usual sideways mouth.<br />
*When undressing at the nude beach, Amy's butt doesn't seem to have any tattoos on, even though "[[Three Hundred Big Boys]]" showed she had at least three talking tattoos.<br />
**She may have made them removed by then.<br />
*At the nude beach, Amy is briefly drawn with an extra arm.<br />
*The Nobel Peace Prize is the only Nobel Prize not given in Stockholm, Sweden, but in Oslo, Norway. <!-- I know this, because as a Dane, I am bitter that we don't give out any of the Nobel Prizes. :( --><br />
*At [[Applied Cryogenics]], the table in the tube room is at one point seen with a computer monitor on, it did not have in "[[Space Pilot 3000]]", and nor does it have it on other times in the show/film.<br />
*When the scammers first acquire all the stuff in history, they are determined to kill Fry, not satisfied with removing his tattoo, because he might have memorized it. However, after Fry comes back from the past and gets the tattoo heat-blasted off, the scammers let him live because they "guess the time code really is gone".<br />
**Nudar did say "Live and let live." earlier.<br />
*At the wedding, as Farnsworth and Leela walk across the aisle, the man in the background to the left's eyes seems to have been displaced.<br />
*When Fry drops his bouquet on the surface of the bubble, the bubble explodes and Fry doesn't disappear off the screen. Instead, he disappears into a drawn line just above the ending of the screen.<br />
*When Fry and Bender go back to the year 2000 separately both open the tube that Fry is frozen in, Fry is seen wearing a belt with his pants. It is revealed in "[[The Devil's Hands Are Idle Playthings]]" Fry never wears a belt.<br />
*When Fry explains how he appeared at his own funeral, he resets the timer on the tube right after Fry leaves. However, Fry later uses that same tube to trap Leela.<br />
**It is plausible - though unconfirmed - that there are more than one room of tubes. This is unlikely, though, because the room Fry is frozen in and the room Leela is frozen in have the same window view.<br />
**However it is '''more''' plausible that someone reopened the tube for an unknown reason, and he simply reset the timer again after Leela got out, knowing his other self was supposed to freeze her.<br />
**The most likely explanation is that it isn't the same tube as there seems to be an infinite supply of empty tubes like the one duplicate Bender is placed in and was just a generic empty tube she was trapped in.<br />
*At the height of the climax at [[Applied Cryogenics]] where it is supposed to be New Years Eve (and thus night), it is clearly day outside.<br />
**This could be a trick of the light outside.<br />
*When Lars unfreezes the Bender clone due to self-destruct, the Bender has regular pixels for pupils. However, since this Bender still has the ''iObey'' virus, his pupils should be red spirals. The same goof happens when Fry uses the time code the first time to escape Nudar and the other scammer aliens.<br />
**This could be showing Bender resisting commands.<br />
*When Lars climbs into Michelle's tube, he breaks off some of her hair. However, her hair seems undamaged when she is unfrozen in "[[The Cryonic Woman]]".<br />
**This happens frequently in animation where people return on-model in their appearance.<br />
*According to the events of this movie, Fry has had the timecode tattoo the entire time he has been in the future. However, there are a few episodes that show Fry with a tattoo-less ass (most noticeable in "[[Future Stock]]", although, Fry's general butt flab, and the position that he moons Mom at, '''could''' have concealed the tattoo; Fry's tattoo-less ass is also clearly seen in Episode Two: "[[The Series Has Landed]]".<br />
**The angle shown could block the tattoo from view.<br />
*At the end of the film, when the production codes are seen, they are mostly correct, but the first one is listed as 5AVC01. The correct way would be 5ACV01. This error has been fixed as of an airing on October 30, 2012 in the UK. (at least in the version broadcast).<br />
*When the characters burst out of Planet Express Ship on Neptune, a green mis-colored Hedonism Bot is briefly seen, as well as a reddish-orange Mr. Blob, Zoidberg also comes out twice.<br />
**Who's to say that there's more than one Hedonism Bot, that Mr. Blob can change colors or that was another blob, and that was another Decapodian.<br />
** The first Zoidberg who burst out has normal hands and ears.<br />
*Bender's iObey virus is shown to be controlled by a board with a knob, briefly, when Leela was trying to kick Nudar. However, the scammers have used speech commands for the rest of the time.<br />
**There could be both.<br />
*Bender's eyes turn back to normal from the iObey virus, when he is taunting the scammers in the steam room.<br />
*Michelle's new boyfriend reveals his name is Constantine, In "[[The Cryonic Woman]]" Michelle says his name is Charles.<br />
**Although, [[Charles Constantine]] could be his full name.<br />
*When Bender is cracking the safe in the wall his fingers detach from his hand.<br />
**His body parts come off and on all the time. <br />
*Hermes manages to survive with no assistance or side effects after being decapitated.<br />
** Lars did say his head was slowly dying.<br />
**Furthermore, the process of head preservation had yet to be established or the theories surrounding it so Hermes' head remaining alive to be immortalized in a jar would've been sound.<br />
*When Bender goes to [[Yancy Fry, Jr.|Yancy Fry's]] house in the past looking for Fry, he comes across [[Philip J. Fry, II]]. In "Bender's Big Score" he is depicted with red hair, yet in "Luck of the Fryrish" he has brown hair like Yancy.<br />
**His hair color probably changed as he aged.<br />
*Also, in "[[The Luck of the Fryrish]]" we learned that [[Philip J. Fry, II]] was named after his missing uncle. In this timeline, however, Fry wasn't missing at all, so most likely [[Yancy Fry, Jr.|Yancy Jr.]] wouldn't have named his son Philip.<br />
**He could've named him that for another reason.<br />
*When Fry returns from the North Pole, the awning above Panucci's Pizza says "Panucci's", but at the end of "[[Jurassic Bark]]" the awning says "Panucci's Pizza".<br />
** More letters could fall off and more letters could be put on.<br />
*When the scammer aliens appear after demolishing Leela's appartment, Nudar is only wearing one ear ring. The second ear ring reappears when Schlump calls for the truck of pandas.<br />
*When Bender time travels to Ancient Egypt, the Ancient Egyptians get scared when he pulls out a gun and points it at them. But how could they know what a gun is and what a gun could do (especially a futuristic gun) seeing as there weren't any in Ancient Egypt?<br />
** Bender is a tall metal man with glowing yellow eyes speaking in a language they can't understand and pointing something at them, of course they are scared.<br />
*When Al Gore picks up Bender in the Hybraxi, he appears in the blue suit shown earlier in the 2000 US Presidential election scene. When Bender is ejected from the taxi a few moments later, Gore is wearing a brown leather jacket.<br />
*When Bender blows up Panucci's Pizza the sign has all the letters for a split second.<br />
*Contrary to what Farnsworth said, the Fry that became Lars wasn't doomed until he came to the 31st century, because he wasn't a duplicate; there was only one Fry in that time period. True, he never did die, but Farnsworth should have known this.<br />
**He forgets lots of things, like going back to Roswell.<br />
*Where the tattoo originally came from is never explained. What happened was impossible; the tattoo had to originate somewhere.<br />
**It's possible, though unlikely, that while Fry was frozen, someone else put the tattoo on his butt. However, this would mean that there was a second tattoo - which was perhaps caused to rub off by the way Bender put the first one on.<br />
*What happened to Hermes' head when Zoidberg got the body is never explained.<br />
**That Hermes' body could've been fixed faster than now.<br />
***Zoidberg may have gone back to before the events of this movie began, and Hermes might have had his body cloned from his head before the movie even started.<br />
****However, this means Hermes would be able to tell Zoidberg what do to, so it's still a goof.<br />
*****Zoidberg could interrupt him like in the movie.<br />

== General Trivia ==<br />
*This is one among few ''Futurama'' [[:Category:Media featuring its title|media featuring its title]].<br />
*The film contains a rare use of the main Futurama theme (albeit a remixed version) as incidental music, during the Gold Death Star battle.<br />
*While anchovies and cows are extinct, pandas are apparently not.<br />
*When in Egypt, Bender says "Scarab forearm bird bird bird!", which, when translated to hieroglyphs, means "kheper d", then a, w, o, or m three times. In short, nothing. (This is also the same version of the Egyptian used by the Pharaoh Skinner in The Simpsons Bible Stories episode)<br />
*The first time Bender says "And I bet it's going to get a lot more confusing!", he looks directly at the viewer, a reference to the fact that a large amount of time travel and retroactive continuity is caused through the following events in the movie, due to a partial rewrite of history that scrambles the events of a few episodes (the most confusing being the events of "[[The Cryonic Woman]]", [[Luck of the Fryrish]], and "[[Jurassic Bark]]".). This is possibly the only time a character in ''Futurama'' addresses the audience directly, other than the narrator.<br />
*As noticed in "[[Space Pilot 3000]]", using a Suicide Booth costs 25 cents. In the year 2000, Bender tries to use a phone booth, mistaking it for a Suicide booth. The phone booth costs 50 cents. Thus, it is cheaper to kill oneself in the year 3000 than to make one phone call in the year 2000.<br />
*Email addresses on the petition included; Zoidberg@freemail.web, awong79@marslink.web and bender@ilovebender.com.<br />
**Amy's email address suggests her year of birth to be 2979. Strangely, this is seen on the petition before she signs.<br />
***But then again we never really see her sign, so she could have signed the petition earlier, before they came and talked to Leela.<br />
**Bender's email address is hosted by the official Futurama site, which was created shortly before this film's release.<br />
*[[Hybraxi]] is a combination of ''hybrid'' and ''taxi''.<br />
*According to the time equation, every living time duplicate is doomed. However, nothing is said about duplicates of non-living things. If non-living duplicates are also doomed, then all the treasure he stole would have already been destroyed too.<br />
**Which seems to be implied by the fact that it does not reappear in ''[[The Beast with a Billion Backs]]''.<br />
**It is possible that the treasures taken was not the time duplicate of anything since they (the treasure) never travelled back in time, however this would paradoxically make everyone remember items such as the Mona Lisa having been complete despite Bender stealing it beforehand.<br />
***The fact that the crew members could remember the artefacts such as the complete Mona Lisa implies that the same chain of events that we're used to occurred at the same time as the reality where Bender stole them (i.e. they were completed and then went through history in the same way as before Bender stole them and they were simultaneously stolen by Bender) which implies that they are in-fact time travel duplicates even though they never travelled backwards in time (although Bender did which may explain how the treasure became duplicated because he altered time). This is further reinforced when we see the many duplicate Benders exploding, since they explode with the artefacts they're holding instead of simply dropping or damaging them (the treasure couldn't be completely destroyed in a normal explosion since Lars was killed by Bender exploding and his corpse survived) we can see that the artefacts are doomed in the same way, similarly to the living duplicates.<br />
*The time equation also says that every duplicate is doomed, it's just "a matter of time." However, because this period of time is never specified, it is possible that the duplicates could have lived as long as any other person. Still, none in the show do.<br />
* Michelle's original "defrost" date was 254 years after 2012, or the year 2266, which is when the first season on the original Star Trek series is supposed to take place.<br />

<br />
== Continuity ==<br />
There are several references to earlier episodes of ''Futurama''. Following episodes are mentioned;<br />
*{{e|1ACV01}}<br />
**Bender flies by when Fry is frozen and destroys New York.<br />
**Bender mistakes the frozen Fry for the one he is hunting.<br />
**Bender meets [[Michelle]] and the boyfriend she drove off with just before Fry got frozen.<br />
**Fry touches his own butt when he wants the wallet in his own frozen self, his frozen self wakes up, and he continues to hide inside the tube to 7.95 years later.<br />
*{{e|2ACV19}}<br />
**When Fry (as [[Lars Fillmore]]) decides to freeze himself (again), he uses the tube with his girlfriend in (which is at 254 years at the time), he changes the date for the freeze to 990 years, revealing that otherwise the events of that episode would not have happened.<br />
**Thus revealing that events of that episode took place in 3002.<br />
*{{e|3ACV19}}<br />
**Fry tells Farnsworth that they went back in time to Roswell, which Farnsworth cannot remember (and also that it proves nothing).<br />
*{{e|4ACV07}}<br />
**[[Seymour Asses]] is seen several times, and it is revealed that they still keep his fossilised version at [[Planet Express]].<br />
**When the building crashes with Fry in it, Seymour is thus fossilised. Which is also important to know why this ''must'' take place in 2012, because Farnsworth discovers in the episode that Seymour lived 12 more years after Fry left him - thus dying in 2012.<br />
**When Bender is looking for Fry in the year 2000, he encounters a drunken man in the phone booth speaking to his bartender. The commentary of the DVD reveals that this is in fact the Cryogenisist from Jurassic Bark. In Jurassic Bark, the Cryogenisist is seen saying "I am one hung over cryogenisist." Here, he is seen drunk on New Years Eve.<br />
*{{e|3ACV20}}<br />
**When Bender uses the time code for the first time, the entire footage featuring the God Space Entity (except the time sphere going to Earth) is clips from the episode.<br />

[[File:Mistake 2.jpg|thumb|right|Fry disappearing incorrectly]]<br />

[[File:NoBenderTattoo.jpg|thumb|right|Fry with no tattoo in "[[Future Stock]]".]]<br />
<br />
*In the opening scene Fry, Bender, Leela and Amy are standing in the hangar then when the camera pans to Zoidberg they are in the conference room on the second floor.<br />
*Bender's title during the introduction sequence is "Assistant Manager of Sales" yet in episodes both before and after his job has always been the company chef.<br />
**He could also have this job.<br />
*In the original 5 minute Comic-Con promo, Leela's dad is seen talking with a regular mouth instead of his usual sideways mouth.<br />
*When undressing at the nude beach, Amy's butt doesn't seem to have any tattoos on, even though "[[Three Hundred Big Boys]]" showed she had at least three talking tattoos.<br />
**She may have made them removed by then.<br />
*At the nude beach, Amy is briefly drawn with an extra arm.<br />
*The Nobel Peace Prize is the only Nobel Prize not given in Stockholm, Sweden, but in Oslo, Norway. <!-- I know this, because as a Dane, I am bitter that we don't give out any of the Nobel Prizes. :( --><br />
*At [[Applied Cryogenics]], the table in the tube room is at one point seen with a computer monitor on, it did not have in "[[Space Pilot 3000]]", and nor does it have it on other times in the show/film.<br />
*When the scammers first acquire all the stuff in history, they are determined to kill Fry, not satisfied with removing his tattoo, because he might have memorized it. However, after Fry comes back from the past and gets the tattoo heat-blasted off, the scammers let him live because they "guess the time code really is gone".<br />
**Nudar did say "Live and let live." earlier.<br />
*At the wedding, as Farnsworth and Leela walk across the aisle, the man in the background to the left's eyes seems to have been displaced.<br />
*When Fry drops his bouquet on the surface of the bubble, the bubble explodes and Fry doesn't disappear off the screen. Instead, he disappears into a drawn line just above the ending of the screen.<br />
*When Fry and Bender go back to the year 2000 separately both open the tube that Fry is frozen in, Fry is seen wearing a belt with his pants. It is revealed in "[[The Devil's Hands Are Idle Playthings]]" Fry never wears a belt.<br />
*When Fry explains how he appeared at his own funeral, he resets the timer on the tube right after Fry leaves. However, Fry later uses that same tube to trap Leela.<br />
**It is plausible - though unconfirmed - that there are more than one room of tubes. This is unlikely, though, because the room Fry is frozen in and the room Leela is frozen in have the same window view.<br />
**However it is '''more''' plausible that someone reopened the tube for an unknown reason, and he simply reset the timer again after Leela got out, knowing his other self was supposed to freeze her.<br />
**The most likely explanation is that it isn't the same tube as there seems to be an infinite supply of empty tubes like the one duplicate Bender is placed in and was just a generic empty tube she was trapped in.<br />
*At the height of the climax at [[Applied Cryogenics]] where it is supposed to be New Years Eve (and thus night), it is clearly day outside.<br />
**This could be a trick of the light outside.<br />
*When Lars unfreezes the Bender clone due to self-destruct, the Bender has regular pixels for pupils. However, since this Bender still has the ''iObey'' virus, his pupils should be red spirals. The same goof happens when Fry uses the time code the first time to escape Nudar and the other scammer aliens.<br />
**This could be showing Bender resisting commands.<br />
*When Lars climbs into Michelle's tube, he breaks off some of her hair. However, her hair seems undamaged when she is unfrozen in "[[The Cryonic Woman]]".<br />
**This happens frequently in animation where people return on-model in their appearance.<br />
*According to the events of this movie, Fry has had the timecode tattoo the entire time he has been in the future. However, there are a few episodes that show Fry with a tattoo-less ass (most noticeable in "[[Future Stock]]", although, Fry's general butt flab, and the position that he moons Mom at, '''could''' have concealed the tattoo; Fry's tattoo-less ass is also clearly seen in Episode Two: "[[The Series Has Landed]]".<br />
**The angle shown could block the tattoo from view.<br />
*At the end of the film, when the production codes are seen, they are mostly correct, but the first one is listed as 5AVC01. The correct way would be 5ACV01. This error has been fixed as of an airing on October 30, 2012 in the UK. (at least in the version broadcast).<br />
*When the characters burst out of Planet Express Ship on Neptune, a green mis-colored Hedonism Bot is briefly seen, as well as a reddish-orange Mr. Blob, Zoidberg also comes out twice.<br />
**Who's to say that there's more than one Hedonism Bot, that Mr. Blob can change colors or that was another blob, and that was another Decapodian.<br />
** The first Zoidberg who burst out has normal hands and ears.<br />
*Bender's iObey virus is shown to be controlled by a board with a knob, briefly, when Leela was trying to kick Nudar. However, the scammers have used speech commands for the rest of the time.<br />
**There could be both.<br />
*Bender's eyes turn back to normal from the iObey virus, when he is taunting the scammers in the steam room.<br />
*Michelle's new boyfriend reveals his name is Constantine, In "[[The Cryonic Woman]]" Michelle says his name is Charles.<br />
**Although, [[Charles Constantine]] could be his full name.<br />
*When Bender is cracking the safe in the wall his fingers detach from his hand.<br />
**His body parts come off and on all the time. <br />
*Hermes manages to survive with no assistance or side effects after being decapitated.<br />
** Lars did say his head was slowly dying.<br />
**Furthermore, the process of head preservation had yet to be established or the theories surrounding it so Hermes' head remaining alive to be immortalized in a jar would've been sound.<br />
*When Bender goes to [[Yancy Fry, Jr.|Yancy Fry's]] house in the past looking for Fry, he comes across [[Philip J. Fry, II]]. In "Bender's Big Score" he is depicted with red hair, yet in "Luck of the Fryrish" he has brown hair like Yancy.<br />
**His hair color probably changed as he aged.<br />
*Also, in "[[The Luck of the Fryrish]]" we learned that [[Philip J. Fry, II]] was named after his missing uncle. In this timeline, however, Fry wasn't missing at all, so most likely [[Yancy Fry, Jr.|Yancy Jr.]] wouldn't have named his son Philip.<br />
**He could've named him that for another reason.<br />
*When Fry returns from the North Pole, the awning above Panucci's Pizza says "Panucci's", but at the end of "[[Jurassic Bark]]" the awning says "Panucci's Pizza".<br />
** More letters could fall off and more letters could be put on.<br />
*When the scammer aliens appear after demolishing Leela's appartment, Nudar is only wearing one ear ring. The second ear ring reappears when Schlump calls for the truck of pandas.<br />
*When Bender time travels to Ancient Egypt, the Ancient Egyptians get scared when he pulls out a gun and points it at them. But how could they know what a gun is and what a gun could do (especially a futuristic gun) seeing as there weren't any in Ancient Egypt?<br />
** Bender is a tall metal man with glowing yellow eyes speaking in a language they can't understand and pointing something at them, of course they are scared.<br />
*When Al Gore picks up Bender in the Hybraxi, he appears in the blue suit shown earlier in the 2000 US Presidential election scene. When Bender is ejected from the taxi a few moments later, Gore is wearing a brown leather jacket.<br />
*When Bender blows up Panucci's Pizza the sign has all the letters for a split second.<br />
*Contrary to what Farnsworth said, the Fry that became Lars wasn't doomed until he came to the 31st century, because he wasn't a duplicate; there was only one Fry in that time period. True, he never did die, but Farnsworth should have known this.<br />
**He forgets lots of things, like going back to Roswell.<br />
*Where the tattoo originally came from is never explained. What happened was impossible; the tattoo had to originate somewhere.<br />
**It's possible, though unlikely, that while Fry was frozen, someone else put the tattoo on his butt. However, this would mean that there was a second tattoo - which was perhaps caused to rub off by the way Bender put the first one on.<br />
*What happened to Hermes' head when Zoidberg got the body is never explained.<br />
**That Hermes' body could've been fixed faster than now.<br />
***Zoidberg may have gone back to before the events of this movie began, and Hermes might have had his body cloned from his head before the movie even started.<br />
****However, this means Hermes would be able to tell Zoidberg what do to, so it's still a goof.<br />
*****Zoidberg could interrupt him like in the movie.<br />

"'''The Honking'''" is the thirty-first episode of ''[[Futurama]]'', the eighteenth of the [[Season 2|second production season]] and the first of the [[Broadcast season 3|third broadcast season]]. It aired 5 November, 2000 on FOX. [[Bender Bending Rodríguez|Bender]] becomes cursed and starts haunting his friends during the night, in search for the origin of the [[were-car]], they end up in a final battle against [[Project Satan]].<br />
<br />
== The Story ==<br />
<br />
=== Act I: "Pardon me, my good simpleton..." ===<br />
When [[Bender Bending Rodriguez|Bender]]'s Uncle [[Vladimir]] dies, the [[Planet Express crew]] go to the funeral at his castle in [[Thermostadt]]. Vladimir has left Bender the castle in his will, stipulating that he spend the night before receiving the castle. The castle is haunted by robot ghosts. After Bender runs scared from the castle, [[Professor Hubert J. Farnsworth|the Professor]] finds a logical explanation for the ghosts. Before Bender can be told this, he is run over by a car.<br />
<br />
=== Act II: "You are a were-car!" ===<br />
Bender has nightmares about the car. A car is seen chasing down some squatters. The next day, Bender awakens in ''Impound Lot 136'' with no memory of the previous night and covered in transmission fluid. Bender seeks advice on the situation from the [[Gypsy]] and learns that he is now a [[were-car]], doomed to become a car each night and eventually kill his best friend. He must kill the original were-car to remove the curse. Hoping to confine him, [[Turanga Leela|Leela]] and [[Philip J. Fry|Fry]] weld Bender to the wall of his apartment then leave, Bender transforms and chases Leela. This upsets Fry, who takes it as a sign that Bender does not consider him his best friend (as the Gypsy warned them that Bender would ultimately kill his best friend under the curse).<br />
<br />
=== Act III: "Many robots are stupid and violent." ===<br />
Bender returns to normal and Fry tells him that he hurt his feelings. They attempt to track down the original were-car, with Fry still upset he's not Bender's best friend, and reach [[Calculon]], who reveals his past as a construction robot in 2019 and tells them where to find the car, [[Project Satan]]. At the automotive lab, Bender transforms and tries to kill Fry, which cheers Fry up. Project Satan falls into an incinerator and melts to death, curing Bender.<br />
<br />
== Reception ==<br />
This episode was subject to [[censorship]] by {{w|Pick TV}}.<br />
<br />
== Additional information ==<br />
[[File:Promo 2ACV18.jpg|right|thumbnail|[[Promo pic]] of this episode]]<br />
<br />
=== Trivia ===<br />
*Headstones in the graveyard read:<br />
**Blimf Hovermayor of Thermostadt "I Will Rise Again"<br />
**THE RED LeBARON (a mixture of the WWI german pilot and the Chrysler produced automobile)<br />
**Vladimir 2790-3001 Efficient Husband and Father.<br />
*The numbers on the wall, 0101100101, equal the number 357 in binary. But in the mirror we see 1010011010, which is 666, which could mean Bender has {{w|Hexakosioihexekontahexaphobia}}, fear of the number 666. It should be noted that 666 is commonly referred to as the Number of the Beast and is associated with Satan. <br />
*Calculon is over a thousand years old. He has been [[Acting Unit 0.8]], [[Thespa-mat]], [[David Duchovny's head|David Duchovny]], Calculon 1.0 (a robot construction arm) and others.<br />
*This is the first time that Bender says "butt" instead of "ass". He uses it in a pun targeted at Calculon. He calls him Mac-butt (Very likely an allusion to Macbeth).<br />
*For some reason, the airing of this episode on October 20, 2012 on Sky1 had the subtitles for "[[Bender's Big Score Part 1]]". These subtitles disappeared during the first part of the episode, and returned during one of the adverts before Part Two of the episode. Then they disappeared again, returning and disappearing again during Part 2. The audio description was correct though, despite the Sky Guide listing for the episode noting that subtitles and audio description were not available for the showing of this episode. Online listings state that "Bender's Big Score Part 1" should have aired in this slot, Part 2 of the film in the next "Futurama slot", which was filled in with "[[Attack of the Killer App]]", and Part 3 and 4 of the film in the 7pm and 7:30pm slots, which were filled in with ''{{s|The Simpsons}}'' episodes "{{s|To Surveil With Love}}" and "{{s|The Squirt and the Whale}}" respectively.<br />

{{q|<br />
<poem>'''Fry''': Bender's supposed to murder his closest friend, which I thought was me. But he went straight for you! He didn't even try to second-degree murder me!<br />
'''Leela''': Could you give me some help? I think Bender crushed my foot.<br />
'''Fry''': Stop rubbing it in!</poem><br />
<poem>'''Gypsy''': You have nothing to worry about. Except a nightmarish life of unremitting horror.<br />
'''Bender''': Pfew!</poem><br />
<poem>'''[[Execu-Tor]]''': And to my loving nephew Bender, assuming he's not responsible for my death, I leave my castle.<br />
'''Bender''': Yes! Let's stay there tonight!<br />
'''Execu-Tor''': On condition that he spends one night within its walls.<br />
'''Bender''': Aw, man, there's always a catch!</poem><br />
<poem>'''Farnsworth''': Just as I suspected. These robots were buried in improperly-shielded coffins. Their programming leaked into the castles wiring through this old, abandoned modem allowing them to project themselves as holograms.<br />
'''Hermes''': Of course! It was so obvious!<br />
'''Farnsworth''': Yes, that sequence of words I said made perfect sense.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Sal''': We're all scared, it's the human condition. Why do you think I put on this tough guy facade?</poem><br />
<poem>'''Leela''': The tracks lead here.<br />
'''Fry''': Thanks, eagle eye.</poem><br />

*When Bender turns into his were-car form, he resembles The Car from ''{{w|The Car}}''.<br />
*The " anti-Chrysler" building is a reference to tne biblical antichrist.<br />
*Trying to entice Project Satan to attack him, Fry refers to himself as a "Blind Pedestrian [worth] 20 points!". This is a reference to ''{{w|Carmageddon}}''.<br />
<br />
=== Goofs ===<br />
*Calculon claims to have been David Duchovny, but his head can be seen in a jar in [[Space Pilot 3000|the pilot episode]]. Additionally, [[The Owner Of Mars Attacks!|the third comic]], which was released after this episode aired, features an advertisement selling heads in jars including that of Duchovny.<br />
**The Calculon-Duchovny problem is explained on another page, and comics are non-canon.<br />
*For a few seconds when the [[Planet Express]] crew is seen searching [[Paris]] for [[Project Satan]], the Eiffel Tower is seen stationary. However, usually, the tower is seen hovering.<br />
*When the crew return from Thermostadt to New New York they pass the Statue of Liberty, holding a torch, while in the pilot episode she held a tube for the [[tube transport system|city transport system]].<br />
*When Fry and Leela take Bender to see the Gypsy, she threatens to kill Bender by pointing a gun at him. The gun passes through the front of the box, but, later, when she points, her finger impacts glass that should've stopped the gun.<br />
*After Leela and Fry have welded Bender to the wall of [[Apartment 00100100|his apartment]], they leave the building, say goodbye for the night and walk away in different directions, apparently to their homes. But Fry would not have to leave, since he and Bender are roommates.<br />
**In a [[List of deleted scenes#DVD 4|deleted scene]], Fry explains why he's leaving the apartment. For a split second, however, you can see Fry's mouth move before that portion is cut out.<br />
*Despite running on an electric motor, [[Project Satan]] still makes the sound of an internal combustion engine when it drives.<br />
*The motorized service arm (Calculon) grabs the car window from the in- and outside of the car, this seems imposible because the car has a roof.<br />

"'''The Honking'''" is the thirty-first episode of ''[[Futurama]]'', the eighteenth of the [[Season 2|second production season]] and the first of the [[Broadcast season 3|third broadcast season]]. It aired 5 November, 2000 on FOX. [[Bender Bending Rodríguez|Bender]] becomes cursed and starts haunting his friends during the night, in search for the origin of the [[were-car]], they end up in a final battle against [[Project Satan]].<br />
<br />
== The Story ==<br />
<br />
=== Act I: "Pardon me, my good simpleton..." ===<br />
When [[Bender Bending Rodriguez|Bender]]'s Uncle [[Vladimir]] dies, the [[Planet Express crew]] go to the funeral at his castle in [[Thermostadt]]. Vladimir has left Bender the castle in his will, stipulating that he spend the night before receiving the castle. The castle is haunted by robot ghosts. After Bender runs scared from the castle, [[Professor Hubert J. Farnsworth|the Professor]] finds a logical explanation for the ghosts. Before Bender can be told this, he is run over by a car.<br />
<br />
=== Act II: "You are a were-car!" ===<br />
Bender has nightmares about the car. A car is seen chasing down some squatters. The next day, Bender awakens in ''Impound Lot 136'' with no memory of the previous night and covered in transmission fluid. Bender seeks advice on the situation from the [[Gypsy]] and learns that he is now a [[were-car]], doomed to become a car each night and eventually kill his best friend. He must kill the original were-car to remove the curse. Hoping to confine him, [[Turanga Leela|Leela]] and [[Philip J. Fry|Fry]] weld Bender to the wall of his apartment then leave, Bender transforms and chases Leela. This upsets Fry, who takes it as a sign that Bender does not consider him his best friend (as the Gypsy warned them that Bender would ultimately kill his best friend under the curse).<br />
<br />
=== Act III: "Many robots are stupid and violent." ===<br />
Bender returns to normal and Fry tells him that he hurt his feelings. They attempt to track down the original were-car, with Fry still upset he's not Bender's best friend, and reach [[Calculon]], who reveals his past as a construction robot in 2019 and tells them where to find the car, [[Project Satan]]. At the automotive lab, Bender transforms and tries to kill Fry, which cheers Fry up. Project Satan falls into an incinerator and melts to death, curing Bender.<br />

=== Trivia ===<br />
*Headstones in the graveyard read:<br />
**Blimf Hovermayor of Thermostadt "I Will Rise Again"<br />
**THE RED LeBARON (a mixture of the WWI german pilot and the Chrysler produced automobile)<br />
**Vladimir 2790-3001 Efficient Husband and Father.<br />
*The numbers on the wall, 0101100101, equal the number 357 in binary. But in the mirror we see 1010011010, which is 666, which could mean Bender has {{w|Hexakosioihexekontahexaphobia}}, fear of the number 666. It should be noted that 666 is commonly referred to as the Number of the Beast and is associated with Satan. <br />
*Calculon is over a thousand years old. He has been [[Acting Unit 0.8]], [[Thespa-mat]], [[David Duchovny's head|David Duchovny]], Calculon 1.0 (a robot construction arm) and others.<br />
*This is the first time that Bender says "butt" instead of "ass". He uses it in a pun targeted at Calculon. He calls him Mac-butt (Very likely an allusion to Macbeth).<br />
*For some reason, the airing of this episode on October 20, 2012 on Sky1 had the subtitles for "[[Bender's Big Score Part 1]]". These subtitles disappeared during the first part of the episode, and returned during one of the adverts before Part Two of the episode. Then they disappeared again, returning and disappearing again during Part 2. The audio description was correct though, despite the Sky Guide listing for the episode noting that subtitles and audio description were not available for the showing of this episode.<br />

*The concept of [[robots]] turning into ghosts are seen in "[[Ghost in the Machines]]".<br />

<poem>'''Farnsworth''': Just as I suspected. These robots were buried in improperly-shielded coffins. Their programming leaked into the castles wiring through this old, abandoned modem allowing them to project themselves as holograms.<br />

*Calculon claims to have been David Duchovny, but his head can be seen in a jar in [[Space Pilot 3000|the pilot episode]].

*When the crew return from Thermostadt to New New York they pass the Statue of Liberty, holding a torch, while in the pilot episode she held a tube for the [[tube transport system|city transport system]].<br />
*When Fry and Leela take Bender to see the Gypsy, she threatens to kill Bender by pointing a gun at him. The gun passes through the front of the box, but, later, when she points, her finger impacts glass that should've stopped the gun.<br />
*After Leela and Fry have welded Bender to the wall of [[Apartment 00100100|his apartment]], they leave the building, say goodbye for the night and walk away in different directions, apparently to their homes. But Fry would not have to leave, since he and Bender are roommates.<br />
**In a [[List of deleted scenes#DVD 4|deleted scene]], Fry explains why he's leaving the apartment. For a split second, however, you can see Fry's mouth move before that portion is cut out.<br />
*Despite running on an electric motor, [[Project Satan]] still makes the sound of an internal combustion engine when it drives.<br />
*The motorized service arm (Calculon) grabs the car window from the in- and outside of the car, this seems imposible because the car has a roof.<br />

There is no actual relationship between [[Turanga Leela]] and [[Bender]]. However, there have been clues of them liking each other.<br />
<br />
In {{e|Space Pilot 3000}}, when Bender first saw Leela, he extended his eyes:<br />
<br />
{{q|<br />
<poem>'''Fry''': Oh no, it's the cyclops!<br />
''[Bender turns around he sees Leela]''<br />
'''Fry''': Don't look, don't look!<br />
'''Bender''': I'm not looking!<br />
''[Bender, still looking, extends his eyes]''</poem><br />
}}<br />
<br />
In {{e|I, Roommate}}, Leela was upset that Fry let the mob kick Bender out of the apartment. She was also worried when she saw Bender hadn't been drinking. <br />
<br />
{{q|<br />
<poem>'''Bender''': ''[In the employee lounge, he groans and falls onto the couch. Leela follows him in]'' Leave me alone!<br />
'''Leela''': Look at that five o'clock rust. you've been up all night not drinking, haven't you?<br />
'''Bender''': Hey, what I don't do is none of your business.<br />
'''Leela''': Please Bender, have some malt liquor. If not for yourself but for the people who love you.</poem><br />
}}<br />
<br />
In {{e|My Three Suns}} when Bender made a collect call to Leela to save Fry, she said she likes Bender and he seemed happy about it.<br />
<br />
{{q|<br />
<poem>'''Bender''': I don't like you, and you don't like me.<br />
'''Leela''': I like you<br />
'''Bender''': You do?!</poem><br />
}}<br />
<br />
In {{e|Hell Is Other Robots}} Leela, as opposed to Fry, was excited to save Bender.<br />
<br />
{{q|<br />
<poem>''[Fry and Leela are singing]''<br />
'''Fry''': I don't feel well.<br />
'''Leela''': It's up to us to rescue him.<br />
'''Fry''': Maybe he likes it here in hell.<br />
'''Leela''': It's us who tempted him to sin.<br />
'''Fry''': Maybe he's back at the motel.</poem><br />
}}<br />
<br />
In {{e|Fry and the Slurm Factory}}, Leela saved Bender from being made into Slurm cans, but one can managed to be made from his metal.<br />
<br />
In {{e|Raging Bender}}, Leela helped Bender become a pro-wrester.<br />
<br />
{{q|<br />
<poem>'''Bender''': Woah I'm not risk me being killed I love me. Count me out ''[From memory]''<br />
'''Leela''': No, you've got to do it.</poem><br />
}}<br />
<br />
In {{e|A Clone of My Own}}, Bender actually wanted to defend Leela.<br />
<br />
{{q|<br />
<poem>'''[[Cubert]]''' ''[to Leela]'': There's someone I'd like you to meet. His name is DEPTH PERCEPTION. ''[laughs]'' <br />
'''Leela''': Why you little!<br />
''[Leela tries to slap Cubert but fails]''<br />
'''Cubert''': Wow that hurt, THE AIR. ''[laughs]<br />
'''Bender''' ''[going to bend Cubert]'': Impending badaoom bending!</poem><br />
}}<br />
<br />
In {{e|The Honking}}, Bender became a werecar so there was, or there was supposed to be, one night where Bender runs over his dearest friend which may have been the night he tried to run over Leela.<br />
<br />
{{q|<br />
<poem>'''Bender''': Fry! I'm so glad you're alive, did I hurt you? ''[From memory]''<br />
'''Fry''': Not physically but why don't you ask your new best friend LEELA!<br />
'''Bender''' ''[to Leela]'': I tried to run you over?<br />
'''Leela''': It was vary sweet of you Bender.</poem><br />
}}<br />
<br />
In {{e|Parasites Lost}}, when Fry was going tell Leela he loves her, she was thinking about Bender.<br />
{{q|<br />
<poem>'''Leela''': What is it is about Bender?<br />
'''Fry''': No! It's about you and me!<br />
'''Leela''': And Bender?/</poem><br />

<br />
In {{e|Bendin' in the Wind}}, Leela is seen laying down next to Bender and hugging him.<br />

'''Mr. Astor''' is a very wealthy male [[Humans|Human]]. He was, in someway, responsible for [[The Mutants Are Revolting|the declaration of Mutant freedom]] of September of [[3010]]. Astor is also one of the survivors of the [[2912]] [[Land Titanic]] disaster.<br />
<br />
== Biography ==<br />
On 10 April, [[2912]], he went on a cruise with [[Mrs. Astor|his wife]]. Unfortunately, [[Land Titanic|the ship]] sank. Mrs. Astor thought she lost him, but would later discover he had actually been safe the whole time.<br />
<br />
Mr. Astor wrote Mrs. Astor a message in a priceless [[Quantum Gemerald|quantum force gemerald]] which was later discovered by [[Professor Hubert J. Farnsworth|the Professor]], [[Amy Wong|Amy]], [[Hermes Conrad|Hermes]] and [[Dr. John A. Zoidberg|Zoidberg]], along with the [[Land Titanic]]'s original passenger manifest.<br />
<br />
[[Leela's Grandmother]] explained that Mr. Astor saved [[Leela's Great-Grandmother|her mother]]'s life by giving her his place in a [[Life Car]]. His act of generosity caused him to land-drown and be completely altered in the [[NNY Sewers]].<br />
<br />
When Leela and Mutated [[Philip J. Fry|Fry]] kissed by the struggle's end, his mutation strangely came off. The mutation said its name was Mr. Astor. It turned out he did not perish that fateful day, but rather plummeted into the [[Lake Mutagenic|toxic lake]], where he mutated and leaped into solitude until Fry stepped into his mouth and lodged there. Mrs. Astor acknowledged her husband and hugged him. They were reunited.<br />

=== Trivia ===<br />
*He is likely a direct reference to {{w|John Jacob Astor IV}} of the {{w|RMS Titanic}}, who is rumored to have selflessly sacrificed his spot in a lifeboat for a young immigrant named Louis.<br />
*When Mr. Astor first appeared in [[Futurama|the series]], he was seen bald and with full hair. It's unknown whether it was a joke or simply a mistake.<br />
*An explanation for his separation from Fry might be that he didn't feel comfortable kissing Leela, as he they hadn't (formally) met before.<br />
*[[Mrs. Astor]] once addressed him as "Mister," so it might be his first name.<br />

The '''New New York Historical Society''' is an [[Earth|Earthican]] organization based in [[Manhattan]], [[New New York|NNY]]. It is dedicated to the preservation of the city's history and hosts many cultural events such as the [[Annual Astor Endowment Fundraiser]], which in [[3010]] supported the [[United Mutant Scholarship Fund]]. They seem to have some kind of policy that doesn't allow poor people in the [[New New York Historical Society building|NNY Historical Society building]], as service will not be provided to the ones not wearing top hats and monocles.<br />
<br />
== Annual Astor Endowment Fundraiser of 3010 ==<br />
In September of 3010, Mrs. Astor invited the [[Planet Express]] crew to her fundraiser, which was meant to help the [[Sewer Mutants]] and keep them busy from protesting for equal rights. All the best families were there. The powerful lady showed two short films in the course of the event: one about the [[Land Titanic]] and how [[Mr. Astor]] had supposedly perished and other about those hideous creatures so in need of charity. After both videos had been shown, [[Philip J. Fry|Fry]] accidentally spilled that [[Turanga Leela|Leela]] was a Mutant, and so Mrs. Astor called [[New New York Police Department|NNYPD]] officers [[Smitty]] and [[URL]] to have her permanently deported into the [[NNY Sewers]]. This ultimately led to the [[Devolution Revolution]] that finally granted the Mutants their freedom. <br />

*An ad for [[Torgo's Executive Powder]]<br />
{{colend}}<br />
<br />
== General Trivia ==<br />
*This is one among few ''Futurama'' [[:Category:Media featuring its title|media featuring its title]].<br />
*It is also implied in the [[Commentary:Bender's Big Score|commentary]] of ''[[Bender's Big Score]]'' that Bender's materials will cause him to melt in hundreds of thousands of years. <!-- And let me explain why it is "of" and "or". In the commentary of Bender's Big Score, they make it clear it is "or" because otherwise it would have caused him to melt, and therefore it was not "of" in Bender's Big Score. If you use your phrasing with "or", he would have melted in BBS, which he didn't, ergo, it is "of". --> Though despite this, it does not occur in the film.<br />
*The writers have been quoted, at {{w|Comic-Con International}} 2008, saying that there is a "scene" containing "all of the characters" from Futurama, all clearly distinguishable. This was true until, due to a joke within the film, they had to take out the child characters.<br />
*Tickle Me Bender dolls are an obvious parody of {{w|Sesame Street|Sesame Street's}} {{w|Tickle Me Elmo}} dolls.<br />
*A 308" screen can be seen later for some short time, continuing the joke about the Professor's size problem (only 301").<br />
*The Australian release of this film falls on the eve of the anniversary of ''Bender's Big Score'''s Australian release date.<br />
*{{w|Robby the Robot}} makes another cameo appearance in this movie, the first being in ''[[The Beast with a Billion Backs]]''.<br />
*In this movie, the Feministas' pink camouflage outfits are similar to the Zoidberg-stained outfits from "[[Bendin' in the Wind]]" and the Professor wears his driving gear from "[[Teenage Mutant Leela's Hurdles]]".<br />
*"Bender, are you crazy?" "No, it's Fry who's crazy in this one!" refers to when Bender went insane in ''[[Bender's Game]]'', and is also an obvious fourth wall break.<br />
**Additionally, the very last scene, while not a true break of the fourth wall, seems to refer to the uncertainty of whether this is the last of the series.<br />
*Right before Bender bends the brick wall, they abandon most of the eco-feminist group.<br />
*In the crowd scene near the end, the break in the glass is explained as not causing a life support problem (in the commentary) due to a force field. Apparently there was also such a force field on the construction site where [[Fry]] was working when [[Bender]] tapped his phone.<br />
*There are many risque jokes in the film, including [[Fanny]] twanging Bender's Antennae, Bender's Antennae growing in size, and two robots with disk drives on their crotch areas, with the Manbot transferring a disk to the Fembot.<br />
*This is the only time we have ever seen the [[Hypnotoad]] in a state where it has stopped hypnotizing long enough for its eye color to return to normal.<br />
*This also the only time that Fry's lack of the delta brainwave has come into play without [[Nibbler]] playing a part.<br />
*Destroying 12% of a galaxy would seriously upset its gravitational balance, possibly by enough to make it come apart altogether.<br />
**However, it depends on what is meant by "destroy". If the matter stays (generally) in the same place (just not in the same form/configuration), it would definitely qualify as "destruction", but the large-scale gravity wouldn't change that much.<br />
**Also, the dark matter component of galaxy (meaning "real" dark matter, not the former starship fuel) would be left untouched by most of conventional methods of destruction, as it doesn't interact with normal matter except via gravity.<br />
*The scene where Fry lectures [[Nine]] on his presentation is made to poke fun at how different history lessons are told in Films than real life.<br />
*The license plate on the [[Feministas' ship]] reads FEC01, which is 3 things: Eco, the F continuing the Feminist theme, and Fecol (fecal matter, poop). (Also could be a reference to the Ghostbusters Ecto1) <br />
*The scene where Bender is dressed up as, and acts like a hooker is yet another instance of Bender acting feminine.<br />
*The Earth Supreme Court is made up of current United States justices Samuel Alito, Antonin Scalia, Clarence Thomas, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, and celebrities Snoop Dogg (chief justice), Bjork, Paula Abdul, Janeane Garofalo, and the voice of Leela, Katey Sagal.<br />
**Also, due to their seniority, Scalia, Alito, and Thomas should all be seated closer to the Chief Justice's seat as Ginsburg was.<br />
*This marks the first (and so far only) time that a court scene or legal matter, that has been depicted on Earth, did not show the [[Hyper-Chicken]].<br />
**He does, however, appear in [[List of deleted scenes#Into the Wild Green Yonder|one of the deleted scenes]].<br />
*A black hole is supposed to be used as a ball return after the 18th hole. This would mean that Black Holes in Futurama act similarly to wormholes, however they are not typically used as such because of the fact that humans can not survive the trip through one, unlike the wormholes.<br />
*Although, officially, there is no confirmation as to which species evolved into the [[Encyclopods]]/[[Dark Ones]], there is evidence that the original intention was for it to be the snakes/frogs respectively. The frogs have an appearance that people are more likely to associate with evil, additionally the eyes of the snakes/frogs closely resemble the eyes of the Encyclopods/Dark Ones, and are even the same color.<br />
**This would also explain why the Encyclopods died out where the Dark Ones barely survived. The frogs started the war by eating the snakes, gaining a slight numbers advantage from the start.<br />
*The only characters who appear in both this film and "[[Space Pilot 3000]]" are Fry, Leela, Bender, Professor Farnsworth, Michelle, Smitty, URL, Ipgee, Terry, Lou, Nixon, and Nine (Including background, non-speaking characters).<br />
*It is interesting that the [[Brain Spawn]] never used foil to block out the thoughts of others. Since they know so much, they should be fully aware of such a solution.<br />
**This would have caused the Brain Spawn to no longer be able to communicate with each other as this is done telepathically.<br />
*During the rally at Leo Wong's miniature golf course, Leela urges them to protect the Violet Dwarf star "at Galactic Coordinates 167.84, -58.03 Mark 948." These Galactic Coordinates are located in the {{w|Cetus}} constellation, otherwise known as "the whale" (likely a reference to "Save the Whale" campaigns), specifically the star {{w|Mira}}. {{w|Gospel of Mark|Mark}} [http://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Bible_%28King_James%29/Mark#9:48 9:48 is a bible verse] which states "where THEIR WORM DOES NOT DIE, AND THE FIRE IS NOT QUENCHED."<br />
[[File:Leo Wong - Five fingers.png|thumb|right|[[Leo Wong]] holds up five fingers!]]<br />
*The Encyclopod must also have the ability to communicate through mind-reading, as it can talk to people through the vacuum of space.<br />
**It must also have it's breathing organs in it's pouch, since the pouch has oxygen-releasing trees, and the Encyclopod can breath in space.<br />
*At the end of the poker game, when Leo announces that Bender has five kings, he holds up a his hand, with five digits on it.<br />
*Nine says they've been "grokking some super-weird junk." [[wiktionary:grok|Grok]] is an esoteric word, and another example of "nerd-humor" being used in Futurama. Use of the word implies a deep knowledge of a subject. Interestingly, the subtitles spell both "grok" and "grokking" correctly.<br />
*Despite [[the Professor]] stating that once entering the [[Panama Wormhole|wormhole]], they may never be able to return, judging by their current location, they entered the ball return of the golf course and so they should come out at the 18th hole.<br />
*Unlike the other films, the [[List of title captions#Season 5|caption]] of this film ("The humans shall not defeat us") is not used on the episode created from its first quarter. Instead, it is used on the fourth episode since this would be the last episode.<br />
*After [[Hutch Waterfall|Hutch]] knocked out [[Philip J. Fry|Fry]], he tapped on the dumpster in reference to ''{{w|The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy}}''.<br />
*In order for his hand-shadow symbol for "the Dark ones" to make sense, Nine would need to have five fingers on each hand.<br />
*For some unknown reason, the Sky1 and Sky2 channels in the UK currently broadcast this film in 4:3, not 16:9.<br />

<br />
== Allusions ==<br />
*The scene with [[The Hip Joint Janitor]] mixing [[Slurm]] and Mentos to make an eruption for the "Dancing Fountains" is a reference to the chemical reaction between {{w|Diet Coke and Mentos eruption|Diet Coke and normal white Mentos}}.<br />
*[[Mars Vegas]] is an obvious allusion to Las Vegas, Nevada. Many of the Mars Vegas casinos are parodies of current Las Vegas casinos. The Wong is a parody of {{w|Wynn Las Vegas|the Wynn}} (in both building design and wordmark), Botany Bay is a parody of {{w|Mandalay Bay}} (and is named for the {{st|SS Botany Bay}}, which it also resembles), Miragio is a combination of {{w|The Mirage}} and {{w|Bellagio}}, The Venutian is a parody of {{w|The Venetian (Las Vegas)|The Venetian}}, Excalibot is a parody of {{w|Excalibur Hotel and Casino|Excalibur}}, and [[Buggalo Bill's]] is a parody of {{w|Buffalo Bill's}}, even though it is not actually not in Las Vegas, but 40 miles south in Primm, Nevada. Bill has 3 eyes when he lifts his hat, a possible nod to Tienshinhan's famous Dragonball Z 90s dub line "This three-eyed cowboy is going for one last ride."<br />
**It could also be an (much more possible)allusion to the Twilight Zone episode "{{w|Will the Real Martian Please Stand Up?}}" in which a Venusian invader has a third eye under his hat.<br />
*The sand worm the Wongs and the Planet Express crew are riding in the beginning of the movie is most likely a parody of the {{w|Las Vegas Monorail}}. The worm is also a clear allusion to the {{w|Sandworm (Dune)|sandworms}} of Frank Herbert's {{w|Dune (novel)|Dune}}. The Wongs appear to be steering the sand worm using {{w|Maker hooks#M|maker hooks}}.<br />
*In the introduction sequence, the Planet Express ship flies through a pedestrian mall similar to Las Vegas' {{w|Fremont Street Experience|Fremont Street}}.<br />
*The line from [[Penn Jillette]] "our act really didn't change much when he died" is a joke on how Teller isn't supposed to ever talk onscreen during their show.<br />
*The Keeler Gap, [[Keeler Crater]] and the 2261 Keeler asteroid are all existing astronomical locations in our [[Solar System]], though, not named after [[Ken Keeler]], the main writer of the film, but after {{w|James Edward Keeler}}, an unrelated astronomer.<br />
*The painting covering the safe in the White House is a reference to the Coppertone logo.<br />
*When Zapp Brannigan, Kif, and Bender sing songs from the 80's, they sing Duran Duran's "Hungry Like the Wolf".<br />
*During Zapp's speech [[Calculon]] thanks his operating system, said to be Windows Vista on the DVD and Blu-ray release, but was changed to Windows 7 on the Comedy Central reruns.<br />
*The moons of Mars are blue and pink. This may be a reference to the "Planet of Adventure" books by Jack Vance. The moons of the planet Tschai are blue and pink.<br />
*The robotic servant seen at the Wong Ranch is identical to one in the 1956 movie Forbidden Planet.<br />
*The Feministas' painting the King Kong figure's face with make-up may be a reference to the ''{{w|Guerrilla Girls}}''.<br />
<br />
== Continuity ==<br />
*[[Leprechauns]] appear for the first time after being mentioned twice {{et|4ACV15|BG}}.<br />
*Mars Vegas appears again in "[[Viva Mars Vegas]]".<br />
<br />
== Goofs ==<br />
=== Technical Goofs ===<br />
Following are goofs in the film due to overlooking details and drawing errors.<br />
* At one point in the audience Cubert is seen, but Morbo says that there aren't any children there.<br />
**Morbo could,ve forget, or Cuebert left for some reason.<br />
*Once again, the Nimbus is smaller than usual, in comparison to the Planet Express Ship, and at one point, it even seemed smaller than it.<br />
**It could look this way at different angles.<br />
*When the crew and Kif escape from Zapp in the final minutes, Kif is wearing his dress uniform, but when they go into the wormhole, he is wearing his regular duty uniform.<br />
**Also everyone except LaBarbara has reverted to their normal attire; however in "[[Rebirth]]" during the flashback, even LaBarbara is shown to have reverted.<br />
*The crack in the glass at the end crowd scene changes shape throughout the scene.<br />
**More glass could have fallen.<br />
*Fry said it was 5 years ago that the [[Native Martians]] left the planet, meaning they left in {{year|3004}}. However they actually left in {{year|3002}}.<br />
**However, he could be estimating, i.e. "About five years ago".<br />
*The Hypnotoad in the audience scene is way bigger than usual.<br />
**As are various others, like Guenter.<br />
***It should also be noted that other beings, like the Amazonians, are smaller than they were originally.<br />
****They could all have smaller and larger chairs, making them LOOK smaller and bigger.<br />
*In the audience scene, [[Sewer Mutants]] are seen, even though mutants are not allowed out of the sewers.<br />
**Though that rule may only apply on Earth.<br />
**Also seen is [[Helmut Spargle]], who died in the episode "[[The 30% Iron Chef]]" (assuming no one tried to resuscitate him from the ditch Bender left him).<br />
***Mutants could've got free passes, and Helmut Spargle may have been someone who LOOKS like him.<br />
*[[Craterface]] is able to show emotion, even though he is wearing a large mask. His mouth also moves, though in his original appearance it did not.<br />
**He may have a epression changing mask.<br />
*When the Number Nine Man explains to Fry about the Chi at the Legion of Madfellows hideout, he is shown to have a boot on his left foot. However, after he footswears (using his right foot) with Fry, his left foot is shown barefoot.<br />
*On [[Bender]]'s last hand, both of his cards are playing cards. But when his hand is revealed, the King of Beers is obviously a different shape and probably has a different design on its back.<br />
*At the start, when Leela is attacked by the Leech/Dark One, Fry is shown to be behind her when he should have been knocked out.<br />
*The fence was supposed to be a billion miles long, but it clearly wasn't when it captured the Wongs.<br />
**Though, they could just have used some of it.<br />
*At the countdown from ten to one, the Legion of Mad Fellows are cheering too, even though they are against it.<br />
**However, this could be so that the Mad Fellows blend in with the crowd, and are not suspected by the Dark Ones.<br />
*When the Feministas enter the Planet Express Ship, after escaping from the prison, they walk through a closed door.<br />
**It could be a fake.<br />
*When the professor says that money talks, he holds up a $5 bill. When they zoom in on the bill it is clearly in the hand of Hermes. When the camera zooms out again, the bill is back in Farnsworth's hand.<br />
*Leo Wong describes the first of his "Space Holes" as a par 2, however the score card shows it as a par 3.<br />
*When Kif is reaching into the safe at the White House, his left arm disappears behind the yellow shoulder cuff briefly while he's digging for the money.<br />
*In the audience scene, Zapp asks Kif if he can sit on his shoulders for a better view, but he shouldn't need to because he is sitting in the front row.<br />
**However, Zapp is known neither for his situational awareness nor his selflessness (especially in regards to Kif).<br />
*When everyone turns around to watch the hatching of the Encyclopod, Leo is wearing a feminista mask.<br />
**He could've sarcasticly put ut on.<br />
*After trapping the [[Wongs]] behind the fence, [[Turanga Leela|Leela]] and [[Linda van Schoonhoven|Linda]] want to shout a clever slogan. Leela says that they can't because [[Frida Waterfall|their chief slogan writer]] is at the [[Feminista]] hideout. However, Frida can be seen cheering with the other Feministas before Leela and Linda have their conversation.<br />
**This could have been a girl who looks like Frida.<br />
*Bender is not wearing a Feminista mask when looking at the Encyclopod, but seconds later, it is back on.<br />
**He could have taken it off and put it back on.<br />
*When Leo Wong is hitting the giant golf ball, he only hits it a total of 7 times, but Amy writes down 8.<br />
**He could have hit a time we didn't see.<br />
*When the Feministas and Bender are in a small cave in the prison, Bender has still got make-up and his outfit on. When the Feministas and Bender are at the wall, the make-up and the outfit have disappeared.<br />
**As they run towards the wall, it can be seen that Bender looses the damaged wig as he starts sprinting and the outfit is shot off of him by the prison guards. The makeup disappears nonetheless.<br />
*Leela and Amy wear "Woman" badges when Leo is on the golf course. In the scene after which shows Amy and Leela travelling with Leo in a hovercar, the two are not wearing "Woman" badges anymore. However, Amy mentions that Leo doesn't allow women on his golf course, and because Leela and Amy are not on the golf course, it means that they could have taken off the badges, or were allowed to.<br />
<br />
=== Physics Goofs ===<br />
The following physics goofs contradict current understanding of the laws of physics and have potential explanations because our knowledge of physical laws is incomplete. New inventions in the 31st century may also contribute possible explanations. That and the joke requires physics to be ignored.<br />
*In the scene where The [[Nimbus]] gets sliced open, the suffocating soldiers' bodies should be swelling(but not bursting) due to the out-gassing of the moisture within their bodies. The vacuum of space would also cause visible skin damage.<br />
*Bouncing an objective off of a Gas Giant, while theoretically possible at high enough speeds, assuming the theory that they get more solid as you get closer to the core holds true, would significantly reduce the object's speed. The golf ball seemed not to lose any speed. It is also way bigger in proportion to Jupiter than it is to Mars.<br />
*The [[Planet Express Ship]] can travel to the edge the universe in one week. The Professor saying that the wormhole would send them far enough away that they don't know if they'll ever come back would mean they'd have to either be sent outside the universe, or to a different universe. If it's the former then that means that the universe is far less than 1 quadrillion light years in diameter (which is known to be false). If it's the latter, it means there is another universe, which is inescapable, within 1 quadrillion miles of the specific wormhole. <br />
**However, the ship is now using whale oil instead of dark matter which may make it slower.<br />
**The ship also only ever traveled to the ''edge'' of the universe (excluding the non-[[canon]] journey to the [[Bogad|furthest corner]] in [[Futurama (video game)|the game]]). It's possible that our local cluster of galaxies is nearer to one edge than the other.<br />
*The sugar should not have been able to be poured into the fuel tank, as there is no gravity in space.<br />
**Although Saturn's ring's may have gravity, it's impossible at this point in time to know how strong or how much it would be effected by the sweeper removing its matter.<br />
**It is known that all known ships have artificial gravity. It's possible that this field extends a small distance beyond the hull, making it affect the sugar.<br />
**Also the smoke from the sweeper would spread equally in all directions without gravity. Although, this could be explained by the above explanation.<br />
*The worms in the organic potato should not have been alive in the vacuum of space.<br />
**One Word: Space Worms.<br />
*The scent of the burnt potato Could not have traveled 100s of 1000s of miles through the vacuum of space to [[Leo Wong]]'s location, especially not in mere seconds.<br />
**Additionally, from the rings, Saturn would appear much bigger than it did in the film. It should basically fill the screen. And any part to Saturn's side shouldn't have such a pronounced curve.<br />
**On top of that, for the sweeper to make such a large gap in the rings it would need to be massive, as in moon-sized or such. It is big, but nowhere near the size it needs be.<br />
**Finally, Leo Wong should not have been able to smell the burning potato while wearing a space suit.<br />
**Perhaps he has some sort of smelloscope built into his space suit. After all, the professor is his science advisor.<br />
*The Encyclopod is able to move through space by flapping it's "wings," which is impossible, since there is no atmosphere to push him forward.<br />
**He could fly and just flap his wings for show.<br />
*If the Encyclopod uses psychic powers to communicate with people through the vacuum of space, it could not have heard the [[Number 9 Man]]'s talking since he was wearing tinfoil. Though it could have heard the thoughts of someone hearing [[Number 9 Man]] speak.<br />
**Although the Mad Fellows mentioned that even foil is ineffective against the Dark One at close range. Encyclopod could also have had this mind-reading ability.<br />

== The Story ==<br />
<!-- Under each act heading, give a brief summary of the major events of that act. The acts begin and end at points where there would be an ad break if this were an episode, probably at the middle of the comic. If lucky, this will also be the split for the UK version.<br />
If you know how, make links of the first reference to any other characters, places, or things that have/should have their own articles.<br />
--><br />
<br />
=== Act I ===<br />
[[Morbo]] and Kent Brockman simultaneously report on the sudden appearance of Springfielders in [[New New York]]. [[Philip J. Fry|Fry]] and [[Bender Bending Rodríguez|Bender]] watch the events happening outside the window on the TV, failing to acknowledge that they are no longer watching TV when Professor Frink flies through the window and [[Smitty]] and [[URL]] kick down the door to arrest him. [[Professor Hubert J. Farnsworth|Professor Farnsworth]] informs his staff that he had been at a meeting where scientists were attempting to gain funding from the city. After [[Dr. Ogden Wernstrom|Wernstrom]] causes him to destroy his invention, Farnsworth quickly invents a device to harness the power of the [[Mental Realm|fictional world]] of [[Hail to the Cat|the comic]] that had been stuck to his slipper. Unfortunately it makes to big a tear and the room is filled with characters from ''The Simpsons''. Thinking quickly, he suggests using them for slave labour, so the [[Mayor C. Randall Poopenmeyer|Mayor]] had the police round them up. The Simpsons themselves escaped and when Lisa recognised the [[Planet Express]] building as the place where the crew worked, they headed inside to hide. When the [[New New York Police Department|peace officers]] return Fry claims they are simply life size action figures. [[Hermes Conrad|Hermes]] arrives to send the crew on their next delivery, and the Simpsons tag along.<br />
<br />
=== Act II ===<br />
Meanwhile in [[New New York]], the Springfield Mafia become the [[Robot Mafia|Robot Mafia’s]] maid men, Moe works in [[O'Zorgnax Pub]], Mr. Burns and [[Mom]] fall in love, Apu works at [[7¹¹]], Gil works with [[Malfunctioning Eddie]] and the rest of Springfield work for [[DOOP]], with Smithers' experience with velour leading to a role as Chief Petty Laundry Officer and the others being classed as cannon fodder. Bart annoys Farnsworth, by looking through his inventions in the lab and turns the literary reality-tearing machine on, then the knob falls off. Bender "saves the day" and throws it in the [[New New York#Public Library|New New York Public Library]] bringing characters from every book ever written into reality... <br />
<br />
== Additional Info ==<br />
=== Trivia ===<br />
*The Springfielders are from Simpsons comic #87 (''Hail to the Cat''), the [[Mental Realm]] visited in the previous issues, which allows them to remember their friends from Planet Express.<br />

=== Continuity ===<br />
*The last shot of "[[Liquid Diamond Is Forever!]]", the Springfielders being watched from the balcony by the crew, has been {{w|retconned}}.<br />
*The [[parabox]] re-appears.<br />
*Unlike "Hail to the Cat", the setting of Crisis 1 and source of most ''Simpsons'' characters for Crisis 2, the comic "Chili Chili Bang Bang!", which appears briefly, did not later become a comic; instead it became a mini-comic within another ''Simpsons'' comic.<br />
<br />
=== Outside References ===<br />
*Professor Frink's line "Realities collapsing. Worlds colliding. Must warn others..." is taken from {{w|Crisis on Infinite Earths}}.<br />
*Wernstron's "Tickl-e-tron" is likely a reference to Doctor Octopus, one of the enemies of ''Spider Man''.<br />
*"Dr. Frahnkensteen" and "Eyegor" from "Young Frankenstein" can be seen at the scientists' meeting.<br />
*In a commercial, Gil Gunderson (now working for [[Malfunctioning Eddie]]) advertises George Jetson's flying car (mentioning that George "was killed in a treadmill accident while walking his dog"), and a British phone booth that's "compact outside [and] roomy inside", a reference to the Doctor's TARDIS from ''{{w|Doctor Who}}''.<br />
*{{w|Comic Book Guy}} mentions wanting a "{{sw|Slave Leia costume|metal slave bikini}} like {{sw|Leia Organa Solo|Princess Leia's}} from {{sw|Star Wars Episode VI: Return of the Jedi|''Return of the Jedi''}}."<br />
*The first delivery the Simpsons tag along on is to "an ice planet in the {{sw|Lucas}} {{sw|The galaxy|galaxy}}", which turns out to be a parody of the {{sw|Hoth}} sequence in {{sw|Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back}}. <br />
*Later, there are two more deliveries parodying ''{{w|Aliens}}'' and ''{{w|2001: A Space Odyssey}}'', respectively.<br />
*in the 3rd delivery you can see Uatu the watcher<br />
<br />
=== Goofs ===<br />
*Bart sticking his head in the parabox would not result in a giant version of his eye peeping in the window. It is both the wrong size and at the wrong direction, and would have destroyed any part of the universe between the lid and New New York.<br />
*The glass suits worn at the [[7¹¹]] leave the clerks' hands exposed, in the show the [[7¹¹ Clerk]] is completely encased.<br />

"'''Viva Mars Vegas'''" is the one hundred and twenty-sixth episode of ''[[Futurama]]'', the twelfth of the [[Season 7|seventh production season]] and the [[Broadcast season 9|ninth broadcast season]]. The [[Planet Express crew]] stages a casino heist to recover stolen property from the [[Robot Mafia]].<br />
<br />
== Plot ==<br />
The [[Robot Mafia]] steals some money from a delivery company. Meanwhile, [[Planet Express Crew|the crew]] decides to go to a casino in [[Mars Vegas]]. [[Zoidberg]] is excited to go, but [[Amy]] tells him not to come because of his poor money managing skills. Dejected, he goes back to his dumpster. Meanwhile, the Robot Mafia is being chased by [[New New York Police Department|the police]], so they decide to dump their money in Zoidberg's dumpster, where Zoidberg takes it. Zoidberg goes to Mars Vegas, and after a few risky bets, he loses all of the money. When he gets back to the dumpster, he finds it occupied by the Robot Mafia wanting their money back. After Zoidberg tells them that he lost all of the money to the casino, they try to kill them, but Zoidberg escapes by triggering his ink defense, which covers him in ink. He goes to the [[Planet Express Building]], where [[Professor Farnsworth]] accidentally uses a ink remover to make all the ink on Zoidberg invisible. This makes Zoidberg invisible as well, and then the Robot Mafia break into the PE bulding and look for Zoidberg. Because Zoidberg is invisible, he cannot be found by them. The mafia decide to get their money back by taking over the casino. In the process, they take away all of [[Leo Wong|Leo]] and [[Inez Wong|Inez Wong's]] property, including their mansion, which reduces them to living in the area they set aside for their employees. However, Amy comes up with a plan to get the money back, with a little help from Zoidberg. Using a smelly shrimp cart to hide Zoidberg's stench, the crew goes upstairs to the area with the safe. [[Leela]], Amy, and [[Fry]], who are pushing the cart, pretend to have a broken wheel so that they have a reason to stay up there, while Professor Farnsworth, [[Hermes]], and [[Bender]] distract [[Donbot]] to keep him from closing the safe door prematurely. Meanwhile, Zoidberg gets into the safe and eats all of the money, except a few bills he coughs up, making it just as invisible as he is. He also eats a black box. However, after eating all of this, he becomes too heavy to move, so the Professor, Hermes, and Farnsworth have to carry him out until they can get him on the shrimp cart. They had intended to escape through the roof, but Zoidberg's weight made the elevator fall to the first floor, forcing them to escape through the main lobby. Zoidberg starts coughing up money as they go. Despite this, they almost make it to the exit, until a blind guard, [[Blind Joe]] catches them. He tries to force them to give him the money, but Amy tries to make a deal with him. Because the guard is a [[Native Martian]], he doesn't like making deals with [[Wong Family|the Wong Family]]. Amy says that this is because he doesn't know about the original deal, which only gave the Wong family the right to occupy the land for 100 years before they gave the land back to the Native Martians. Because of this, the Native Martians own the casino, and they kick the Robot Mafia out. Fortunately for the Wong family, the Native Martians give back the Wong's mansion and their other casino. Professor Farnsworth tells Zoidberg that he'll become visible again as soon as he takes a bath, and he goes with Amy to the other casino.<br />

}}<br />
<br />
=== Goofs ===<br />
* Native martians are seen here, but they all left Mars back in "Where the Bugallo Roam".<br />
**That doesn't mean some few would not return possibly out of a sense of attachment to their ancestral lands.<br />
* Zoidberg spends a lot of money before he gets to the table, so he couldn't have had eight million left, so he shouldn't have been able to buy eight chips, each worth a million dollars.<br />
**He could have won some money in between giving it away and arriving at the roulette table.<br />
* If the Wongs had two casinos, then why not just go there when the mafia take their first casino and their house?<br />
**Furthermore, if this is New Mars Vegas as in ''[[Into the Wild Green Yonder]]'', wouldn't the Wong family have many business holdings over the entire planet?<br />
***The mob took all the Wongs' property: they shouldn't have had a place to stay.<br />
* None of the mafia, or the native martians seemed to question, why the old shrimp carriers, and all those people turned up (the crew in disguise) in the money counting room, despite the fact its supposed to be the most secure area.<br />
**That's the joke!<br />
* The deal between the native martians and the Wongs here, is different to the deal mentioned in "Where the Bugallo Roam".<br />
* Zoidberg doesn't eat the two 100 dollar bills that fall out of his mouth.<br />
* The ink on Zoidberg's mouth is wiped off, exposing it. When Amy escorts Zoidberg to [[Wong Island]], the ink on Zoidberg's mouth has returned, as the pink of his skin would have been able to see from the back of him.<br />
**It doesn't show because the ink in the back covers it, that's why we can't see inside of him.<br />

The '''Fox Network''' (often rendered as just '''FOX''') is a television network that televises programs such as ''[[Single Female Lawyer]]'' {{et|1ACV12}}. In [[1999]], FOX was knocked off the air during the season finale of ''Single Female Lawyer'' when [[Philip J. Fry|Fry]] spilled beer on the transmitter. In [[3000]], the FOX broadcast signal finally reached [[Omicron Persei 8]], but Fry's interruption of the signal directly provokes the [[Omicronians]] to [[First Omicronian invasion of Earth|invade Earth]]. FOX still exists in the 31st century and, in [[3010]], the network cancelled ''[[Futurella]]'' during its preview at [[Comic-Con Intergalactic]] {{et|6ACV11}}.<br />

"'''The Day the Earth Stood Stupid'''" is the thirty-ninth episode of ''[[Futurama]]'', the seventh of the [[Season 3|third production season]] and [[Broadcast season 3|third broadcast season]]. It aired 18 February, 2001 on FOX. A mystic fleet of [[Brain Spawn|brains]] travel the universe and turns every into idiots, and now the turn has come to [[Earth]]. [[Nibbler]] explains her plan to [[Turanga Leela|Leela]] and explains how [[Philip J. Fry|Fry]] is the key to solving the attacks by the brains.<br />
<br />
== The Story ==<br />
=== Act I: "All glory to the Hypnotoad!" ===<br />
One day's brain flight from Earth, the planet [[List of Planets#Tweenis 12|Tweenis 12]] is destroyed by a swarm of [[Brain Spawn|flying brains]].<br />
<br />
Meanwhile, on [[Earth]], [[Turanga Leela|Leela]] enters [[Nibbler]] in a pet competition. She hopes to win since she put Nibbler through strict training, but it is apparent she has just been spoiling him because his half-hearted attempts are so adorable. After learning the prize is five hundred dollars and a year's supply of dogfood, [[Bender Bending Rodriguez|Bender]] and [[Dr. John Zoidberg|Zoidberg]] decide to enter themselves. During the sheep-herding competition, the [[Hypnotoad]] displays his amazing abilities (both on the sheep and the judges). On Nibbler's attempt, he simply devours the sheep.<br />
<br />
Bender enters Zoidberg into the contest, claiming him to be a "Hard-Shelled Whooping Terrier". Bender forces Zoidberg through the obstacle course, then through a talent competition, by whipping him. Leela tries to get Nibbler to perform, but is unable. Nibbler sees a pig-shaped balloon and attacks. The balloon pops and launches Nibbler high into the air, after which he lands in a bowl of milk, splashing people with the milk and causing them to be attacked by dozens of cats.<br />
<br />
Bender and Zoidberg get second place, losing to the Hypnotoad, whose win was most likely illegitimate (though no-one notices, thanks to its powers). Leela and Nibbler are awarded "Dumbest Pet in Show".<br />
<br />
=== Act II: "I guess I'll have to eat this raw, dripping ham by myself!" ===<br />
[[File:Big brain.png|left|thumb|The Big Brain]]<br />
Back at [[Planet Express]], Leela accepts that Nibbler may be dumb, but Fry sticks up for him. The [[Professor Hubert J. Farnsworth|Professor]] enters with "good news" about the destruction of Tweenis 12. [[Hermes Conrad|Hermes]] points out that there have been a string of such planetary destructions, and Fry (with the help of Leela) points out that Earth is next. Nibbler gets anxious and runs away.<br />
<br />
Leela attempts to track him down in an alley, luring him with a ham. She encounters a dumpster emitting an ominous light from within. As Leela cautiously approaches, a giant floating brain emerges. Leela is chased through the alleys by several brains, where she sees Nibbler donned in a mysterious body suit and pulling a small spacecraft from a shed. He takes off and waves goodbye, but Leela begs for him to come back as she tries to hold off the floating brains. Nibbler decides to return to Leela, and she jumps into the extremely cramped little ship where they escape.<br />
<br />
=== Act III: "I thought you were a furry little moron!" ===<br />
The floating brains continue their attack on the Earth, engulfing entire buildings in a blue glow, including the Planet Express building. Bender is concerned that his heart has stopped beating and that his skin is hard and clanky, but Fry points out that he doesn't ''have'' a heart and that he's made of metal. The Professor and Zoidberg are acting equally stupid.<br />
<br />
Nibbler and Leela are flying through space, and Nibbler transmits his thoughts directly to Leela's brain to communicate. Nibbler explains the situation to Leela, and informs her that they're going to his home planet. Then he tells her how the universe began, and Leela realizes that ''every'' religion is wrong.<br />
<br />
Hermes is standing with his mouth open in the shower. Fry turns on the news and finds that the news anchors are acting stupid as well. The PE crew then expresses a desire to play the lottery, buy internet stock (on margin), and join the Reform Party. Fry finally understands that they aren't just acting strange, but have indeed become idiots.<br />
<br />
Nibbler and Leela finally arrive on Planet Eternium, at the exact center of the universe, and land at the Hall of Eternity, which is ten miles west of the exact center of the universe. After this point, we hear Nibbler speak not in mindless garbled chattering, but with a deep and dignified voice in English. Other creatures that look like Nibbler are waiting inside, and greet Nibbler as "Lord Nibbler, Ambassador to Earth". However Nibbler points out that the name "Lord Nibbler" is for Leela's sake. His own name would be impossible (and time-consuming) to pronounce. One millisecond after the universe was created, a terrible enemy known as the [[Brain Spawn]] came into existence. This explanation is interrupted by "the Feast of a Thousand Hams."<br />
<br />
Nibbler explains that the Brain Spawn are attacking all intelligent life, as they hate all consciousness; the thoughts of others are unpleasant to them. They travel from world to world, making everyone stupid to wipe out all thought in the universe. Nibbler then indicates that Fry is the hope of the universe, as he is immune to the Brain Spawn's attack. Fry, meanwhile, tries to help the people of New New York, but foils himself because though he is smarter than everyone else on Earth at this point, he is still pretty stupid...<br />
<br />
=== Act IV: "Time to re-educate you duncebags!" ===<br />
[[File:Mental Realm.png|right|thumb|The Big Brain acceses some Mental Realms]]<br />
The [[Nibblonians|Nibblonian]] fleet approaches Earth. It is explained why Fry is immune to the Brain Spawn's attack: Fry's immunity is due to his lack of the Delta brainwave, due to [[Roswell that Ends Well|other events]] which have not happened yet. Leela is sent to instruct Fry to locate and attack [[The Big Brain]], but she cannot be trusted to complete this task, since she'll be affected by the Brain Spawn's stupifaction rays once she lands on Earth. The Nibblonians pin a note to Leela's shirt and send her off.<br />
<br />
Fry is attempting to re-educate the PE crew, but even [[George Washington's head]] forgets who was the first president of the United States. Leela suddenly crashes through the window, and attempts to communicate with Fry, but she's been turned dumb. She hands him the note, but he misunderstands and blows his nose on it. Then he throws it in the fire, and Leela tries to retrieve it, only to discover that fire is hot. The Professor confirms her conclusion. Leela tries again to communicate, then points out the flying brains outside the window. Leela tells Fry to find the biggest brain, and Fry concludes that he might find it at the library.<br />
<br />
Fry and Leela run to the New New York Public Library, and Fry confronts the Big Brain in the Ancient Literature room, where it is absorbing the knowledge of the human race. The Big Brain attempts to stupefy Fry, only to find him immune. Fry throws a book at the it, but the Big Brain is impervious to physical attack. Fry tries to think of another plan, and finds that his thoughts cause pain for the Big Brain. Fry frantically searches through a pile of books to find a book to make himself think. He reads the book, which causes the smaller brains outside to fall from the air. The Nibblonians prepare to land in order to clean up the mess.<br />
<br />
The Big Brain then uses his abilities to take Fry and Leela into [[Mental Realm|the world]] of ''Moby Dick''. Fry almost attacks the Big Brain, but Queequeg stops him, on the grounds that it's not a white whale, but a grey thinky whale. The Big Brain escapes, and Fry, Leela, Queequeg, and Captain Ahab follow. They end up in ''Tom Sawyer'', where they meet the eponymous character, who has tricked the Big Brain into whitewashing the fence. The Big Brain tries again to escape, and pulls everyone into ''Pride and Prejudice''. Fry throws Tom Sawyer's whitewash onto the Big Brain, and Captain Ahab proclaims him to be white now, and he and Queequeg begin assaulting him. Fry gets an idea and jumps out the window.<br />
<br />
=== Act V: "The big brain am winning again!" ===<br />
Fry escapes from the Brain's field, and climbs a bookshelf. He attempts to electrocute the Big Brain with a broken chandelier, but crashes into the wall. A bookshelf then falls on top of him, breaking his neck. Leela tries to help, but Fry dies. The Big Brain laughs in triumph, but the Fry on the floor disappears, revealing that Fry is writing a book of his own. The Big Brain is trapped in this new book (filled with plot holes and spelling errors), in which Fry causes the Big Brain to leave Earth for no reason{{iiw}}. The Big Brain falls for the trick, and flies off.<br />
<br />
Outside, the Nibblonians "clean up" by consuming the fallen [[Brain Spawn]]. The population of Earth is returned to their normal levels of intelligence, but the process forces them to forget the entire incident. Only Fry remembers, but nobody believes him, nor do they really care. Nibbler returns to Leela to remain in disguise until the next time he is needed to protect the universe...<br />
<br />
== Additional Info ==<br />
=== Trivia ===<br />
*The plot of this episode draws heavily from Star Trek episode #29, "Operation: Annihilate!" in which a string of planets are destroyed by space-bound brain cells that cause their victims to act suicidal.<br />
*The planet Tweenis 12 is a reference to the fact that children aged 12 are called "tweens" because they're (''supposedly'') not children and not yet teens. According to the commentary, the word "tweenis" is also a synonym for a part of human anatomy sometimes called the "[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taint_%28slang%29 taint]".<br />
*Madison Cube Garden's sign reads "Champion Pet Show Today" "Kids: See Toucan Sam's Death Mask". Toucan Sam is the mascot for Fruit Loops, making another cereal reference.<br />
*One booth at the pet show is for "[[Soylent Products|Soylent Chow]]"; The picture shows a dog surrounded by the recycling symbol. The reference could either be for the butchering of humans as pet food or cannibalism of canines.<br />
*[[Frank Welker]] plays both [[Nibbler]]'s animal voice ''and'' his speaking voice.<br />
*This episode was named #18 on IGN's list of [http://tv.ign.com/articles/716/716663p1.html Top 25 Futurama Episodes].<br />
*Bender's line "Hey, let's all join the Reform Party!" was changed to "Hey, let's all join the Tea Party!" in current broadcasts.<br />
*The first book Fry and Leela are trapped in is "Moby-Dick". A later episode, "[[Möbius Dick]]" would draw from it.<br />
*The second book Fry and Leela are trapped in is "The Adventures of Tom Sawyer". The song "Tom Sawyer" by Rush would appear in "[[Anthology of Interest II]]".<br />

"'''The Day the Earth Stood Stupid'''" is the thirty-ninth episode of ''[[Futurama]]'', the seventh of the [[Season 3|third production season]] and [[Broadcast season 3|third broadcast season]]. It aired 18 February, 2001 on FOX. A mystic fleet of [[Brain Spawn|brains]] travel the universe and turns every into idiots, and now the turn has come to [[Earth]]. [[Nibbler]] explains her plan to [[Turanga Leela|Leela]] and explains how [[Philip J. Fry|Fry]] is the key to solving the attacks by the brains.<br />
<br />
== The Story ==<br />
=== Act I: "All glory to the Hypnotoad!" ===<br />
One day's brain flight from Earth, the planet [[List of Planets#Tweenis 12|Tweenis 12]] is destroyed by a swarm of [[Brain Spawn|flying brains]].<br />
<br />
Meanwhile, on [[Earth]], [[Turanga Leela|Leela]] enters [[Nibbler]] in a pet competition. She hopes to win since she put Nibbler through strict training, but it is apparent she has just been spoiling him because his half-hearted attempts are so adorable. After learning the prize is five hundred dollars and a year's supply of dogfood, [[Bender Bending Rodriguez|Bender]] and [[Dr. John Zoidberg|Zoidberg]] decide to enter themselves. During the sheep-herding competition, the [[Hypnotoad]] displays his amazing abilities (both on the sheep and the judges). On Nibbler's attempt, he simply devours the sheep.<br />
<br />
Bender enters Zoidberg into the contest, claiming him to be a "Hard-Shelled Whooping Terrier". Bender forces Zoidberg through the obstacle course, then through a talent competition, by whipping him. Leela tries to get Nibbler to perform, but is unable. Nibbler sees a pig-shaped balloon and attacks. The balloon pops and launches Nibbler high into the air, after which he lands in a bowl of milk, splashing people with the milk and causing them to be attacked by dozens of cats.<br />
<br />
Bender and Zoidberg get second place, losing to the Hypnotoad, whose win was most likely illegitimate (though no-one notices, thanks to its powers). Leela and Nibbler are awarded "Dumbest Pet in Show".<br />
<br />
=== Act II: "I guess I'll have to eat this raw, dripping ham by myself!" ===<br />
[[File:Big brain.png|left|thumb|The Big Brain]]<br />
Back at [[Planet Express]], Leela accepts that Nibbler may be dumb, but Fry sticks up for him. The [[Professor Hubert J. Farnsworth|Professor]] enters with "good news" about the destruction of Tweenis 12. [[Hermes Conrad|Hermes]] points out that there have been a string of such planetary destructions, and Fry (with the help of Leela) points out that Earth is next. Nibbler gets anxious and runs away.<br />
<br />
Leela attempts to track him down in an alley, luring him with a ham. She encounters a dumpster emitting an ominous light from within. As Leela cautiously approaches, a giant floating brain emerges. Leela is chased through the alleys by several brains, where she sees Nibbler donned in a mysterious body suit and pulling a small spacecraft from a shed. He takes off and waves goodbye, but Leela begs for him to come back as she tries to hold off the floating brains. Nibbler decides to return to Leela, and she jumps into the extremely cramped little ship where they escape.<br />
<br />
=== Act III: "I thought you were a furry little moron!" ===<br />
The floating brains continue their attack on the Earth, engulfing entire buildings in a blue glow, including the Planet Express building. Bender is concerned that his heart has stopped beating and that his skin is hard and clanky, but Fry points out that he doesn't ''have'' a heart and that he's made of metal. The Professor and Zoidberg are acting equally stupid.<br />
<br />
Nibbler and Leela are flying through space, and Nibbler transmits his thoughts directly to Leela's brain to communicate. Nibbler explains the situation to Leela, and informs her that they're going to his home planet. Then he tells her how the universe began, and Leela realizes that ''every'' religion is wrong.<br />
<br />
Hermes is standing with his mouth open in the shower. Fry turns on the news and finds that the news anchors are acting stupid as well. The PE crew then expresses a desire to play the lottery, buy internet stock (on margin), and join the Reform Party. Fry finally understands that they aren't just acting strange, but have indeed become idiots.<br />
<br />
Nibbler and Leela finally arrive on Planet Eternium, at the exact center of the universe, and land at the Hall of Eternity, which is ten miles west of the exact center of the universe. After this point, we hear Nibbler speak not in mindless garbled chattering, but with a deep and dignified voice in English. Other creatures that look like Nibbler are waiting inside, and greet Nibbler as "Lord Nibbler, Ambassador to Earth". However Nibbler points out that the name "Lord Nibbler" is for Leela's sake. His own name would be impossible (and time-consuming) to pronounce. One millisecond after the universe was created, a terrible enemy known as the [[Brain Spawn]] came into existence. This explanation is interrupted by "the Feast of a Thousand Hams."<br />
<br />
Nibbler explains that the Brain Spawn are attacking all intelligent life, as they hate all consciousness; the thoughts of others are unpleasant to them. They travel from world to world, making everyone stupid to wipe out all thought in the universe. Nibbler then indicates that Fry is the hope of the universe, as he is immune to the Brain Spawn's attack. Fry, meanwhile, tries to help the people of New New York, but foils himself because though he is smarter than everyone else on Earth at this point, he is still pretty stupid...<br />
<br />
=== Act IV: "Time to re-educate you duncebags!" ===<br />
[[File:Mental Realm.png|right|thumb|The Big Brain acceses some Mental Realms]]<br />
The [[Nibblonians|Nibblonian]] fleet approaches Earth. It is explained why Fry is immune to the Brain Spawn's attack: Fry's immunity is due to his lack of the Delta brainwave, due to [[Roswell that Ends Well|other events]] which have not happened yet. Leela is sent to instruct Fry to locate and attack [[The Big Brain]], but she cannot be trusted to complete this task, since she'll be affected by the Brain Spawn's stupifaction rays once she lands on Earth. The Nibblonians pin a note to Leela's shirt and send her off.<br />
<br />
Fry is attempting to re-educate the PE crew, but even [[George Washington's head]] forgets who was the first president of the United States. Leela suddenly crashes through the window, and attempts to communicate with Fry, but she's been turned dumb. She hands him the note, but he misunderstands and blows his nose on it. Then he throws it in the fire, and Leela tries to retrieve it, only to discover that fire is hot. The Professor confirms her conclusion. Leela tries again to communicate, then points out the flying brains outside the window. Leela tells Fry to find the biggest brain, and Fry concludes that he might find it at the library.<br />
<br />
Fry and Leela run to the New New York Public Library, and Fry confronts the Big Brain in the Ancient Literature room, where it is absorbing the knowledge of the human race. The Big Brain attempts to stupefy Fry, only to find him immune. Fry throws a book at the it, but the Big Brain is impervious to physical attack. Fry tries to think of another plan, and finds that his thoughts cause pain for the Big Brain. Fry frantically searches through a pile of books to find a book to make himself think. He reads the book, which causes the smaller brains outside to fall from the air. The Nibblonians prepare to land in order to clean up the mess.<br />
<br />
The Big Brain then uses his abilities to take Fry and Leela into [[Mental Realm|the world]] of ''Moby Dick''. Fry almost attacks the Big Brain, but Queequeg stops him, on the grounds that it's not a white whale, but a grey thinky whale. The Big Brain escapes, and Fry, Leela, Queequeg, and Captain Ahab follow. They end up in ''Tom Sawyer'', where they meet the eponymous character, who has tricked the Big Brain into whitewashing the fence. The Big Brain tries again to escape, and pulls everyone into ''Pride and Prejudice''. Fry throws Tom Sawyer's whitewash onto the Big Brain, and Captain Ahab proclaims him to be white now, and he and Queequeg begin assaulting him. Fry gets an idea and jumps out the window.<br />
<br />
=== Act V: "The big brain am winning again!" ===<br />
Fry escapes from the Brain's field, and climbs a bookshelf. He attempts to electrocute the Big Brain with a broken chandelier, but crashes into the wall. A bookshelf then falls on top of him, breaking his neck. Leela tries to help, but Fry dies. The Big Brain laughs in triumph, but the Fry on the floor disappears, revealing that Fry is writing a book of his own. The Big Brain is trapped in this new book (filled with plot holes and spelling errors), in which Fry causes the Big Brain to leave Earth for no reason{{iiw}}. The Big Brain falls for the trick, and flies off.<br />
<br />
Outside, the Nibblonians "clean up" by consuming the fallen [[Brain Spawn]]. The population of Earth is returned to their normal levels of intelligence, but the process forces them to forget the entire incident. Only Fry remembers, but nobody believes him, nor do they really care. Nibbler returns to Leela to remain in disguise until the next time he is needed to protect the universe...<br />
