Zoidberg taking a bite - he has earned it

Production Number: 4ACV05
Title Caption: OR IS IT?
First Aired: December 12, 2002

The Story

Act I: Freedom, freedom, freedom, oy!

It is Freedom Day on Earth, an the Planet Express crew are celebrating with everything that is right and proper for this occasion - like doing whatever you want or taking a hot nude group bath in the traditional Freedom Tub. Zoidberg however enjoys it more than everyone else, as on Earth freedom is given, but on his home world, people have to suffer for it. That's why he loves Earth. They all go to Washington DC to watch the great parade, including military vehicles from DOOP. When Earth President Richard Nixon's head holds the Freedom Day Speech and salutes the beloved symbol of Freedom, Old Freebie, Zoidberg eats the flag to express himself as proper on Freedom Day. The assembled Earthicans however do not like this and Nixons head orders to kill him.

Act II: I was hating Zoidberg before it became cool!

Zoidberg flees inside the Decapodian embassy and finds a safe haven there for the time being. The Ambassador promises Zoidberg the full support of his government. Nixon's head orders to storm the embassy, but the Planet Express crew intervene on Zoidberg's behalf claiming the freedom of expression guaranteed by the Earth's constitution. Nixon therefore takes the case to a place where the constitution doesn't mean squat - the Supreme Court. The crew find a lawyer to defend Zoidberg, Old Man Waterfall. The Supreme Court decides that flag eating is not protected by the constitution and orders Zoidberg to apologize, but he refuses and is thus sentenced to death. Earth forces are attacking the Decapodian Embassy, whereupon Decapodian forces attack.

Act III: Is it possible that all this slavery and oppression is schmutzing up our freedom lesson?

After disabling the defenses by trickery, the Decapodians conquer Earth, enslaving every inhabitant and forcing them to build the Mobile Oppression Palace which provides cheap oppression and begins wrecking up Washington D.C. Fry, Leela, Bender, Zapp Brannigan and Kif are preparing a counterattack with an ancient heat-seeking missile. Old Man Waterfall tries to stand up to the invaders with his precious Earth flag, but is killed, which causes Zoidberg to change sides. However, the missile cannot aquire the target as all Decapodian technology is cold-blooded. Zoidberg saves the day by setting Old Man Waterfall's Earth flag on fire and hurling it into the Mobile Oppression Palace - the missile can aquire the target and destroys the oppressive device, Earth is free again. On a celebration to honour Zoidberg, he is allowed to take a bite out of the flag to be hoisted with the approval of Nixon's head.

Additional Info

Trivia

Harold Zoid appears on a Newspaper in this episode.
The episode originally featured the Mobile Oppression Palace destroying buildings. This was changed because of the 9/11 attacks.
The episode is based off the famous flag burning contreversy. (Writer's note: That is to say, famous in the US, never heard of it myself)
The embassies in Embassy Row include these of the Neutral Planet, the Klingons (pink, for some reason), the Harlem Globetrotter's Homeworld and of Decapod 10.
Richard M. Nixon's Head is carried around by the Secretary of Transportation.

Quotes

Zoidberg: Yes, I'm desecrating a flag, but to preserve the freedom it represents!
Old Man Waterfall: Do your worst, you sea devils. I'll make my stand with Old Freebie. You can crush me but you can't crush my spirit!
(The Mobile Oppression Palace crushes him)
Old Man Waterfall: Argh, my spirit!
Leela: Zoidberg, you set us free! I feel like I could stand to hug you! I can't, but you know what I'm trying to say.

Inside References

Judging from what Zoidberg says as he awaits the judgement of the Supreme Court, the earlier trip to Roswell 1947 permanently relieved him of one of his four hearts, as he has only three left, two of which were having attacks just then.
