Episode

Brannigan's Law is one of the cornerstones of the policy of the Democratic Order of Planets. Apparently named after Zapp Brannigan, for unknown reasons, it forbids interference with undeveloped planets, and is otherwise known as Directive B10.81.

It does not apply to DOOP mining operations. In general, it seems that this law forbids helping these planets, but allows their utter exploitation. The Planet Express crew, particulary Turanga Leela, have broken the law by trying to save the animals of Vergon 6 (1ACV04).

Quotes

    Zapp Brannigan: Brannigan's Law is like Brannigan's love: hard and fast.

    Zapp Brannigan: I don't pretend to understand Brannigan's Law. I merely enforce it.

    Zapp Brannigan: April thirteenth... point two. We have failed to uphold Brannigan's Law. However, I did make it with a hot alien babe. And, in the end, is that not what man has dreamt of since first he looked up at the stars? [A few seconds pass.] Kif, I'm asking you a question!
