"'''Yo Leela Leela'''" is the one hundred and ninth episode of ''[[Futurama]]'', the twenty-first of the [[Season 6|sixth production season]] and the sixth of the [[Broadcast season 8|eighth broadcast season]]. It aired 21 July, 2011 on [[Comedy Central]]. [[Turanga Leela|Leela]] becomes a Hollywood big shot after creating a hit children's [[television]] series.<br />
<br />
== Plot ==<br />
=== Act I: "We don't got books no more." ===<br />
[[File:Yo Leela Leela 1.png|left|thumb|[[Albert]] in the [[Cookieville Minimum-Security Orphanarium]].]]<br />
Leela visits the [[Cookieville Minimum-Security Orphanarium]] where she grew up in order to read a story to the orphans. However, she is informed that the orphans ate all of their books long ago (being unable to afford food), leaving nothing left to read. Leela tries to improvise a story on the spot, but does a poor job of it, and the orphans are vocal in their disappointment. Dejected by her failure to entertain them, Leela decides to try and write a children's story of her own, but is unable to concentrate in the noisy Planet Express building; she takes the Planet Express ship to another, unseen planet where she will be able to write in peace.<br />
<br />
Later, Leela returns to the orphanarium to tell her new story; she has invented a whimsical fantasy setting named "Rumbledy-Hump", which is inhabited by cartoonish creatures called "Humplings" who sing moralistic songs. While the children are initially reluctant to listen, fearing Leela's new story will be just as bad as the first, they are quickly won over by her latest effort, and eagerly ask her to return to tell another story. Leela is then approached by [[Abner Doubledeal]], now working as a television producer, who was watching her presentation from another room. Doubledeal had earlier subjected the orphans to a test screening for a new lineup of children's shows, but none of the flashy, fast-paced programs caught their interest; in contrast, the simple, colorful world Leela created was able to hold their attention. Doubledeal proposes adapting Rumbledy-Hump into a basic cable television series. Leela hesitates, wary of the corrupting influence of Hollywood, but when the orphans encourage her to further develop something that brought them so much joy, she accepts.<br />
<br />
=== Act II: "Cheap lights. Off-brand camera." ===<br />
[[File:Yo Leela Leela 2.png|left|thumb|[[Abner Doubledeal]] in the [[Planet Express headquarters]].]]<br />
Leela arrives late for the filming of the first episode of the Rumbledy-Hump series, having just returned from her "quiet place" with the script in hand. Production goes smoothly, and the episode airs as planned, with the costumed members of the Planet Express crew acting as the main cast. Leela is proud of the work they've done, although she expects little to come of it, claiming that good television series are always canceled... sometimes two or three times. However, when the next day's television ratings arrive (from the future), Rumbledy-Hump is revealed as a smash hit, and its popularity explodes; the show is adapted into a series of books and children's toys, and Leela becomes famous overnight. She is honored at the Slurm-sponsored "Young People's Choice Awards", and attends a celebration that evening, although her newfound fame has caused a change in her attitude; Leela has become snooty and arrogant, regarding herself as a creative genius, and disregarding her friends' contributions to the show. <br />
<br />
When Doubledeal tells Leela that he needs the script for the next episode, despite the late hour, she takes the Planet Express ship to her "quiet place" in order to work on it. A dazed Bender stumbles out of the ship, having seduced a fembot at the party, and discovers Leela observing a group of aliens who are identical to the Humplings; it turns out that Rumbledy-Hump is a real place, and is the planet that Leela has been retreating to.<br />
<br />
=== Act III: "Be it parsnips or peppers or kale or zucchini." ===<br />
[[File:Yo Leela Leela 3.png|left|thumb|[[Turanga Leela|Leela]], dressed as Lady Buggle, in the Planet Express headquarters.]]<br />
Bender learns that Leela never actually wrote any of the scripts for her show; she stumbled upon Rumbledy-Hump while searching for a quiet place to write, and has merely been transcribing the words and actions of the native Humplings, then claiming it as her own work. Bender admires Leela's hypocrisy, although he swiftly blackmails her, threatening to expose her as a fraud unless she shares half of the show's gross profits with him.<br />
<br />
Filming of the show continues as normal until Leela is approached by [[Sally]], who shows her a simple drawing of her own magical cast of characters from a place called "Butterscotch Hollow". Leela is surprised that Sally was able to develop an original setting using her own imagination (when Leela herself could not), but Sally replies that Leela's work serves to inspire her. Overcome with guilt, Leela takes the crew to the real Rumbledy-Hump, where she confesses that her scripts are plagiarized from the life experiences of the Humplings. She admits that she should have come forward sooner, but she took great pride in being able to make the orphans happy, and didn't want to disappoint them.<br />
<br />
Doubledeal is shocked to learn that the Humplings are real, but quickly turns the situation to his advantage; rather than make a Rumbledy-Hump adaptation using scripts and actors in suits, he simply films the Humplings directly as a reality television show. Leela is outraged by what she perceives as the exploitation of the innocent creatures, but the arrangement is actually a beneficial one. The Humplings are introduced to the conveniences of modern technology, greatly improving the quality of their lives, while Doubledeal himself adopts all of the orphans, putting them to work as the show's production crew and providing them all with full-time jobs. Leela, however, is still wracked with guilt, and has developed a psychological need to be criticized for her deception, demanding to be "punished". She cries out in despair as the assembled children and Humplings sing and dance around her, proclaiming their love and appreciation for her.<br />
<br />
== Production ==<br />
During May [[2011]], ''[[Countdown to Futurama]]'' began released three items of promotional material for the episode: concept art of [[Dr. Amy Wong|Amy]] and [[Dr. John A. Zoidberg|Zoidberg]] dressed up as other [[character]]s from the episode on 24 May, concept art of [[Bender Bending Rodríguez|Bender]] wearing a fur coat and a bling on 25 May, and part of [[Storyboard:Yo Leela Leela|the storyboard]] showing two babies engaged in [[Extreme Toddler Wrestling]] on 26 May.<br />
<br />
Comedy Central released a video clip set in the [[Cookieville Minimum-Security Orphanarium]] featuring [[Turanga Leela|Leela]] telling [[Warden Vogel]] that she has a new story for the [[orphans]] and [[Abner Doubledeal]] visiting to conduct market research on 14 July, 2011.<ref>[http://www.comedycentral.com/videos/index.jhtml?videoId=391945&title=preview---tickelodeon-kids-network/ Tickelodeon Kids Network]</ref><br />

=== Trivia ===<br />
* Just as he was in ''[[Bender's Big Score]]'', Tom Kenny is given a "Special Appearance" credit.<br />
* The daycare center where [[Extreme Toddler Wrestling]] is broadcast from was originally named after wrestler {{w|Randy "Macho Man" Savage}}. Due to the poor timing of this episode, airing more than three months after Savage's death, the center was renamed.<br />
* This episode is one of the few in this broadcast season that uses the full opening sequence with cartoon and all.<br />
* The opening sequence of ''Popular Slut Club'' features two of the orphans.<br />
*The theme tune to ''Popular Slut Club'' was sung by an autotuned [[Eric Rogers]], another [[Futurama]] writer.<br />
*The official Comedy Central website spells the ''Rumbledy-hump'' show as "Rumbledeehump".<br />
*When Leela said all good shows get canceled, she is referencing the idea that many shows of the early twenty-first century were cancelled due to low ratings, despite having a large, vocal, and loyal following. When she adds that it happens two or three times, she's referencing Futurama itself, whose fate has been unsure at least three times.<br />
<br />
=== Allusions ===<br />
<!-- The allusions section should be ordered chronologically, i. e. what happens first in the episode, should be listed first. Please follow this.--><br />
<!-- Overall --><br />
* The title of the episode, and the concept of the show she creates, ''[[Rumbledy-hump]]'', are parodies of the TV show ''{{w|Yo Gabba Gabba!}}''.<br />
<!-- Act I --><br />
* The caption under the Futurama logo for this episode which reads "PENETRATES EVEN THE THICKEST FOIL HAT" is a reference to Futurama's film ''[[Into the Wild Green Yonder]]'' seeing as foil hats in the film were suppose to protect everyone's minds from The Dark Ones.<br />
** It could also just be a general reference to {{w|tin foil hat}} conspiracies, which ''Into the Wild Green Yonder'' also references.<br />
* When Leela first attempts to write a story, she says she only need to come up with three of some animal. This is a reference to such fairy tales by {{w|Grimm Brothers|the Brothers Grimm}} as {{w|Three Little Pigs}}, {{w|Goldilocks and the Three Bears}}, and {{w|The Three Billy Goats Gruff}} as well as the {{w|Rule of three (writing)|Rule of three}} in writing.<br />
* When Fry is playing trombone, he is playing "When the Saints Go Marching In" and mentions it is the only song he knows. Commander William Riker on ''Star Trek: the Next Generation'' was a trombone player and on most of the occasions he played in the series, he was playing that song.<br />
* The name of the television network, ''Tickelodeon'', is a pun on the 20th/21st century kids channel''{{w|Nickelodeon (TV channel)|Nickelodeon}}'' and the word ''tickle''.<br />
* The daycare center where [[Extreme Toddler Wrestling]] is broadcast from is named after wrestler {{w|Roddy Piper|Rowdy Roddy Piper}}.<br />
* The term {{w|Glossary of professional wrestling terms#Smark|smart mark}}, as used by Abner Doubledeal, is professional wrestling slang which (among other things) can be used to describe a fan who believes they know more about the workings of the business than they really do.<br />
<!-- Act II --><br />
*When Zoidberg sings the lyric "Like a horse, a turtle or a cricket", Bender (in his Garglie character) says "I like turtles!", referencing the viral video of a young boy who says the same thing when being interviewed on the news.<br />
*Leela said a show that is often slightly good gets cancelled, sometimes two or three times. This is an obvious reference to the handling of ''Futurama'' throughout its history.<br />
*Abner Doubledeal says that Leela's show would be bigger than [[SpongeBot SquareBolts]], a reference or upgrade to {{w|SpongeBob SquarePants}}. [[Tom Kenny]], the voice of Doubledeal, also voices SpongeBob. <br />
*Albert eats a book called ''Go, Ladybuggle, Go'', a parody of the {{w|P.D. Eastman}} book ''{{w|Go, Dog, Go}}''.<br />
*The [[Young People's Choice Awards]] are a parody of the {{w|People's Choice Awards}} and the {{w|Nickelodeon Kid's Choice Awards}}. They also briefly mention the "Old People's Choice Awards, also known as the {{w|Oscars}}". Leela being "[[Slurm]]ed" is a reference to people being "slimed" on the Kids' Choice Awards.<br />
*Some of the nominees for Best New Kids Show are parodies of real life childrens' shows:<br />
**''Yo Gimme Gimme'' is another reference to Yo Gabba Gabba!<br />
**''Dora the Destroyer'' is a parody or reboot of or sequel/spinoff series to the Nickelodeon show, ''{{w|Dora the Explorer}}''.<br />
*Leela says to Fry, "It's nice to have the support of {{w|Viewers Like You}}," a reference to the last sponsor of every single PBS program.<br />
* The fembot actress/massage chair that [[Bender]] meets plays a role as a high school student who's secretly a rock star. This is a reference to Disney Channel's "Hannah Montana" which is also about a high school student who's secretly a rock star.<br />
<!-- Act III --><br />
* The aliens singing "And poo poo, and pee pee, and penis and gay, these are the 98 words we don't say." alludes to the 2011 bill passed in Tennessee known as the "Don't Say Gay" bill (which prohibits teachers from even mentioning homosexuality in any grade before 9), and possibly the infamous comedy routine '7 Words You Can't Say on Television.'<br />
*When [[Fry]] said to [[Leela]] that she may have become a Lady Gaga-esque fame hag, this was a direct jab at Lady Gaga and her amount of popularity as well as a possible reference to Lady Gaga's album "Fame".<br />
<br />
=== Continuity ===<br />

<!-- The continuity section should be ordered chronologically, i. e. what happens first in the episode, should be listed first. Please follow this.--><br />
<!-- Overall --><br />
<!-- Act I --><br />
*When [[Abner Doubledeal]] presents himself, [[Turanga Leela|Leela]] says that she already knows him. She did in fact know him as the owner of the [[New New York Mets]] blernsball team, in which she was the star in "[[A Leela of Her Own]]" and before that, the owner of the [[Ultimate Robot Fighting League]], which she helped Bender train for in "[[Raging Bender]]".<br />
<!-- Act II --><br />
*[[Scruffy]] appears male in this episode even though he was still female at the end of "[[Neutopia]]", the previous episode. Though, the gender switch could have been temporary all along, since the [[big rock alien]] doesn't have an actually concept of gender. When The [[Borax Kid]] changes them back, he could have just sped up the reversal process.<br />
*Calculon seems to have healed from his injuries, sustained in "[[The Silence of the Clamps]]", which, as the previous episode in broadcast order, was a rather quick recovery.<br />
*[[Bender Bending Rodriguez|Bender's]] liking of turtles in his [[Garglie]] suit seems to recall his experiences with one in "[[Crimes of the Hot]]"<br />
<!-- Act III --><br />

*Bender says that he had the best Christmas ever instead of the best Xmas ever.<br />
*When [[Albert]] says there's someone standing on him, he should know that it was [[Bender]] since Bender had adopted him in "[[The Cyber House Rules]]".<br />
** Although [[Albert]] may have been unable to see who it was.<br />
*The can of [[Slurm|Diet Slurm]] next to Leela when she is getting distracted whilst trying to write turns into a normal can of Slurm.<br />

'''SpongeBot SquareBolts''' is the title character in the children's television series ''SpongeBot SquareBolts''. The character and the show on which it starred is reminiscent of ''SpongeBob Squarepants'', a cartoon which ran on Nickelodeon in the late 20th and early 21st centuries. Because of this, in the vein of ''[[Dora the Destroyer]]'' and [[30th Century Fox]], it is plausible that the series is some sort of 30th century update of the character starring in a spinoff or sequel series. By [[3011]], this new series was popular enough to garner a toy line. One of those toys was held by [[Abner Doubledeal]] in "[[Yo Leela Leela]]". Dobledeal believed that the popularity of ''Rumbledy-hump'', a series he produced with [[Turanga Leela]], would become so popular that its popularity would even surpass that of ''SquareBolts''.<br />

}}<br />
'''Claw-Plach''' is a tradition instituted by the [[Decapodians]]. The relatively new part of this tradition (formed in [[2982]]) is that once the challenge has been initiated, it must be finished. It is a fight to the death in a public arena to settle matters of honor, and also whether abbreviations count in {{w|Scrabble}} ([[Zoidberg]] maintains that they don't), or, more usually, for money. Weapons are allowed, but some Decapodians prefer to use their own claws, so that they can have the pleasure of cutting their enemies themselves. The combatant who guesses the animal the [[Decapodian Emperor]] is thinking of has first choice of weapons. Dr. Zoidberg invoked claw-plach to challenge [[Fry]] for the hand of [[Edna]].<br />
<br />
Claw-plach is a parody of ‘[http://memory-alpha.org/en/wiki/Kal-if-fee Kal-if-fee]’, a similar {{w|Vulcan (Star Trek)|Vulcan}} tradition from {{w|Star Trek}}, and the fight scene in "Why Must I be a Crustacean in Love" is a parody of {{w|James T. Kirk|Kirk}} and {{w|Spock}} fighting in the "{{w|Amok Time}}" episode. Before the claw-plach, the famous musical underscore composed by {{w|Gerald Fried}} for the "Amok Time" fight scene is briefly heard as the Decapodian "national anthem." The name, however, is derived from the traditional {{w|Klingon}} phrase "[http://memory-alpha.org/en/wiki/Klingonese#Klingon_vocabulary Qapla]'!" Literally translated, "Qapla'!" means "success".<br />

'''Emperor Nikolai''' is the rich and eccentric [[robot]] emperor of [[Robo-Hungary]], described by [[Richard Nixon's head]] as "an insane dictator and a heck of a bowler". In an interview with journalists Nikolai described himself as "just a humble emperor, ''with a big, big crown!''" In truth, Nikolai had grown tired of his life of power and riches and yearned to experience life as a normal commoner. <br />
<br />
== Biography ==<br />
<br />
=== 3010 UN meeting ===<br />
<br />
Nikolai visited [[New New York]] in [[3010]] to give a speech at the [[United Nations]]. He arrived with his entourage aboard his extravagant caviar-powered yacht [[RMS Overkill|RMS ''Overkill'']] which would serve as his residency during his time in the city, were it not for his encounter with [[Bender Bending Rodriguez]] who was trying to rob him of his big, big crown. Bender, whose mind was in the body of [[Amy Wong]], convinced Nikolai to trade bodies with him so that Nikolai could finally experience life as a lowly bending unit while, perhaps more importantly, Bender could enjoy life as a fabulously wealthy and powerful emperor, while also agreeing to fill in for Nikolai at a speech to the United Nations General Assembly.<br />
<br />
When Bender could not locate his original body, he duped Nikolai into taking on the body of a [[Wash bucket]]. Nikolai then went to live with [[Fry]] (whose body was actually home at that point to the mind of [[Dr. Zoidberg]]) in Bender and Fry's apartment at the [[Robot Arms Apartments|Robot Arms]]. However, Nikolai's enjoyment of his new life as a commoner was relatively short-lived as his desire for cognac and Bender's fine cigars, coupled with Zoidberg's ineptitude and none of them knowing the dangers of exposing a naked flame during a gas leak, resulted in a rather nasty explosion. <br />
<br />
Meanwhile, Bender, who had been enjoying Nikolai's former life on the ''Overkill'', was confronted by Nikolai's fiancée, [[Princess Flavia]], and Nikolai's cousin [[Basil]], who revealed that they had been having an affair for 700 years and that they were intending to assassinate him so that Basil could take the throne of Robo-Hungary. Despite Bender's protestations that he was not Nikolai, the two would-be assassins stated their desire to destroy Nikolai's body in particular and so pursued Bender off the yacht and through the streets of New New York. Bender ultimately reached the [[United Nations]] where he gave an abridged version of the speech Nikolai was due to give, receiving thunderous applause. Bender was then challenged a final time in the middle of the General Assembly by Basil. In the subsequent fight Basil was killed by a team of Robo-Hungarian [[Robot Clowns]] who had rushed to save their emperor; Basil and Flavia's attempt on Nikolai's throne was over.<br />
<br />
Following the incident Bender and Nikolai, the latter having seemingly miraculously escaped the gas explosion at the apartment, agreed to return to their original bodies. Prior to the final swap, Bender placed a phoney reproduction of Nikolai's crown onto his head/bucket. Nikolai promised to sell it to provide money for the poor, seemingly unaware of Bender's deception. After the swap, Nikolai appointed [[Sweet Clyde]] a Duke and bade farewell to the others, affectionately calling them "filthy commoners". As it turned out, Bender had left the real crown in Nikolai's compartment before the swap, meaning that the emperor walked away with both the fake and the real crowns; presumably, a scheming Bender was not far behind.<br />
<br />
== Character description ==<br />
<br />
Despite being described as a "insane dictator" and being an extremely wealthy and presumably extremely long-lasting ruler of a country that, by appearance of [[Thermostadt|its own capital]], seemed backward and poor, Nikolai appears to be a very popular figure, irrespective of whose mind was in his body. Met with huge enthusiasm at the United Nations, with one robot ambassador expressing her love for Nikolai before Bender even began his speech, Nikolai also commanded great loyalty from his subjects, so much so that that [[Big Bertha|one of his subjects]] willingly sacrificed her life in order to save the robot she believed was her emperor. <br />

<br />
== The Story ==<br />
{{plot-update}}<br />
<br />
=== Act I: "Shut up and get to the point!" ===<br />
[[Bender Bending Rodriguez|Bender]], [[Philip J. Fry|Fry]] and [[Turanga Leela|Leela]] are watching ''[[Cop Department]]'' when an advertisement for [[Past-O-Rama]] appears on the television, Bender wishes to see a time before life was cheapened by heartless machines.<br />
They look around Past-o-rama at various attractions such as a telephone booths and Al Sharpton’s burial chamber, then they come across a ancient car, Fry attempts to drive it but instead takes it through a wall.<br />
Unable to stop they hit [[Flexo]], a bending unit with a beard.<br />
<br />
=== Act II: "He's the evil Bender." ===<br />
The crew are nervously pacing around while Bender is looking at a robot pornography book and Flexo is successfully fixed.<br />
Flexo and Bender take Fry to a robot gentlemen's club where they pay a robot to give Fry a lap dance which results in injuires. Fry begins to think Flexo is evil.<br />
The crew go into the [[Professor Hubert J. Farnsworth|Professor]]'s bedroom to see what he has to show them. He reveals to them the atom of [[Jumbonium]] which is so expensive, that if stolen it will cause [[Planet Express]] to go bankrupt, so the Professor hires Flexo to help out.<br />
<br />
=== Act III: "And the winner is..." ===<br />
Fry falls asleep during his watch because he spent his sleeping time watching Flexo. When the ship lands they discover the atom is gone, and they begin to search for Flexo. Fry knows he stole it and starts watching Bender who is all the time covering his chin with different things, so Fry suspects he could be Flexo covering his beard. Then he learns it was Bender anyway. They can't find find Flexo so they tell [[Bob Barker's head]] and he orders them to find the atom. When they finally find Flexo, he and Bender begin to chase each other through the beauty pageant but Leela doesn't know who is Flexo because they're covering their chins and Flexo's beard can't be seen. Later it is revealed that Bender in fact stole the atom, and not Flexo. Flexo saw Bender steal the atom and ran to tell Bob Barker's Head. The atom is returned; however, Barker mistakes Flexo for Bender, and Flexo is locked up in Bender's place.<br />

[[File:Promo 2ACV06.jpg|right|thumbnail|[[Promo pic]] of this episode]]<br />
<br />
=== Trivia ===<br />
*Sponsored by Arachno Spores.<br />
*Past-o-rama's logo is based on the Futurama logo. Title caption: Located on the former side of Brooklyn.<br />
*Flexo has a goatee, which is a reference to the goateed Mirror Universe Spock from the Mirror, Mirror episode of the original Star Trek.<br />
*Electric Ladyland is the name of the third Jimi Hendrix album.<br />
*From Leela and Bender's guesses on the value of the Atomic Tiara, its value should be exactly $200,000. Based on Professor Farnsworth's earlier descriptions of its value, the nucleus is worth exactly $150,000.<br />
*Bender states that both his and Flexo's serial numbers are expressible as the sum of two cubes. For Flexo's serial number, 3370318 = 119^3 + 119^3. Bender's serial number 2716057 = 952^3 + (-951)^3.<br />
*Contestants in the Miss Universe contest include <br />
**Miss Heaven (who looks like [[M5438]])<br />
**Miss Arrakis<br />
**Miss Unnamed Planet<br />
**Miss Demeanor<br />
**Miss Perfect Little<br />
**Miss Amazonia (Not labeled on the sash, but obviously from Amazonia)<br />
**Miss Methane Planet, Halitina Smogmire<br />
**Miss Earth's Moon, [[The Crushinator]]<br />
**Miss Pluto<br />
**Miss Vega 4 (Also known as the [[Parameciums]] Homeworld), Gladis Lenux (Info found during "[[Raging Bender]]")<br />
**[[Jellyfish Nurse]]<br />
*The judges in the Miss Universe Contest are:<br />
**Florp<br />
**Calculon<br />
**Zapp Brannigan<br />
<!-- Add any trivia here, in bullet-list form. --><br />
<br />
=== Continuity ===<br />
*Miss Universe reappears in "[[Raging Bender]]" and ''[[The Beast with a Billion Backs]]''.<br />
*Flexo reappears in "[[Bendless Love]]".<br />
*This is the first time Zapp Brannigan appears without Kif.<br />
<br />
=== Allusions ===<br />
*[[Past-O-Rama]] shows that people in the [[31st century]] have little knowledge of the distant past. A few mistakes include:<br />
**Mammoth hunts in New York.<br />
**These "mistakes" could also be a satirical jab at the [[20th century]] &mdash; i.e. people in the 31st century think of people from the 20th century in the same way people in the 20th century think about earlier/more primitive civilizations (e.g. cavemen). <br />
**''[[Star Wars]]'' {{sw|Original trilogy|9}}: {{sw|Yoda}}'s {{w|Bar and Bat Mitzvah|Bar Mitzvah}}.<br />
***This might, at some point in the near future, be an actual movie, thus not qualifying as a mistake. In fact, it is most likely a jab at the ''Star Wars'' {{sw|prequel trilogy}} of the early [[21st century]].<br />
****Except Yoda died in Star Wars VI, so he probably wouldn't have a Bar Mitzvah as a Force ghost.<br />
***It could also be referencing the rumours about a {{w|Star Wars sequel trilogy|sequel trilogy}} to the original trilogy, which would be Star Wars VII - IX. George Lucas has, however, denied that those rumours are true.<br />
**Appearance of primitive [[Robots]].<br />
**{{w|Albert Einstein}} and {{w|Hammurabi}}, the ancient King of Babylon, existing at the same time as each other and at the same time as disco.<br />
**Cars running on tanks of burning fossils.<br />
***However, cars ''are'' run on tanks of {{w|Gasoline|''one'' burning fossil}}.<br />
**Cars being called Auto-mo-cars.<br />
*The Miss Arrakis is from {{w|Arrakis}}, the planet of {{w|Dune (novel)|the novel ''Dune''}}, by {{w|Frank Herbert}}.<br />
*One of the contestants plays {{w|Gioachino Rossini|Rossini}}'s {{w|William Tell overture}} on her nose.<br />

"'''Obsoletely Fabulous'''" is the sixty-eighth episode of ''[[Futurama]]'', the fourteenth of the [[Season 4|fourth production season]] and of the [[Broadcast season 5|fifth broadcast season]]. It aired 27 July, 2003 on FOX. [[Bender Bending Rodríguez|Bender]] finds himself feeling obsolete compared to the new [[Robot 1-X]], but he cannot get himself to get the upgrade, so he flees to a distant island.<br />
<br />
== The Story ==<br />
=== Act I: "I'm your top-of-the-line, Mom!" ===<br />
The "[[Roboticon 3003]]", the worlds largest robot trade show, takes place in [[Madison Cube Garden]], and the crew goes to have a look. [[Professor Hubert J. Farnsworth|Professor Farnsworth]] and [[Dr. Ogden Wernstrom|Dr. Wernstrom]] use this opportunity to present their latest [[Killbots]] - unfortunately their stalls are side by side, so they end up in a fist fight, while their killbots go share a drink in the face of the senseless violence from their creators. [[Mom's Friendly Robot Company]] presents its latest model: [[Robot 1-X]], a servant robot with countless uses around the house. The Professor is so impressed that he buys one of them, which makes [[Bender Bending Rodriguez|Bender]] unhappy who feels threatened by this superior piece of technology. To take care of that, he decides to get an upgrade to become compatible with the new technology. Seeing how the other robots getting the upgrade are changed by it, Bender changes his mind and flees from the factory, but is afraid to face his co-workers in his current obsolete state. He constructs a makeshift boat and heads out to sea.<br />
<br />
=== Act II: "I am a hideous triumph of form and function" ===<br />
Bender strands on a lonely island and soon runs out of power. He is rescued by a group of obsolete robots who refused to get upgrades and defy modern technology, instead they embrace nature. Bender soon adopts their ways and goes even further - he decides to get a downgrade. He emerges from it as a steam-powered unit with a wooden body. He decides it is time to declare war on technology.<br />
<br />
=== Act III: "The 1-X robots are my friends!" ===<br />
Bender and his fellow robots travel in a wooden rowing sumbarine to [[New New York]], performing acts of anti-technological terrorism. Their last target is the [[Planet Express]] building where Bender has a score to settle with Robot 1-X. They shoot the building with a catapult but miss, trapping the crew under the damaged [[Planet Express Ship]] where they are threatened by burning fuel. Bender rushes to save his friends, but is let down by his wooden body that disintegrates from termites. The only way to save the crew is to ask Robot 1-X for help, which Bender does, and it saves the crew. Bender realizes that he loves Robot 1-X - and finds that he never left the factory in the first place, and his experience on the island was an illusion triggered by the upgrade process. He is somewhat unnerved as he feels he can't really trust his senses, but also content that all is back to normal - after all, reality is what you make it.<br />

<br />
=== Trivia ===<br />
*The [[Killbots|Killbot]] from the deleted scene in "[[Love's Labours Lost in Space]]" can be seen on the "Roboticon 3003", it is standing in front of Wernstrom's stall.<br />
*The [[Masked Unit]] from "[[Raging Bender]]" can be seen walking in front of the Robot Toys stall in the beginning.<br />
*This is the second episode of the series to involve long fantasies, the first being "[[The Sting]]"; it was also the second episode in the series (and in a row) to revolve around [[Bender]] either getting an upgrade or being changed ("[[Bend Her]]").<br />
* This was also the second and last episode to have an entire act with only one major character (Bender Act 2)<br />
* Also, one of the robots at Roboticon 3003, and at the robot upgrading place became an enemy in [[Futurama (video game)|the video game]].<br />
* [[Fatbot]], one of the [[Fratbots]] from [[Mars University (place)#Epsilon Rho Rho|Epsilon Rho Rho]], is the robot in line behind [[Bender]] waiting to get the upgrade.<br />
<br />
=== Allusions ===<br />
*The mill-wheel-powered robot's name is Lisa, the name of the Apple Macintosh's predecessor.<br />
*Sinclair 2K probably refers to the Sinclair home computer series of the 80s.<br />
*The wooden submarine has its origin in the series' creators obsession for a similar device, possibly '''C.S.S. Hunley''' or the '''Turtle'''.<br />
*Wernstrom impresses the audience with that his [[killbot]] has {{w|Lotus Notes}} on it.<br />
*The title may be an allusion to the "Britcom" {{w|Absolutely Fabulous}}<br />
*Bender and his gang swing through the city of New New York using vines, a reference to {{w|Spider-Man (film)}}.<br />

=== Quotes ===<br />
{{q|<br />
<poem>'''Bender''': That new robot is great, huh? It sure made me look like a pile of crap.<br />
'''Professor''': Indeed! That's why I bought one to help around the office!<br />
'''Bender''': Eeee!</poem><br />
<poem>'''Bender''': We're going to stage an attack on technology worthy of being chronicled in an anthem by Rush!</poem><br />
<poem>'''Bender''': Mirrors reflecting mirrors?! HI-TECH SORCERY!</poem><br />
<poem>'''Bender''': ''[After being made a wooden body.]'' Behold my hand-crafted purity! The modern world can bite my splintery wooden ass!</poem><br />
<poem>'''Leela''': ''[After seeing Bender in his new body.]'' Oh Lord, he's made of wood.</poem><br />
}}<br />
<br />
=== Goofs ===<br />
*At the beginning of the episode the crew is seen attending [[Roboticon 3003]], but in the previous episode,"[[Bend Her]]", Hermes and Bender are seen competing in the 3004 Earth Olympics.<br />
*Bender is shown getting up off his back even though he has been shown [[Crimes of the Hot|previously]] to be unable to do this. Then again, perhaps he was slightly on his side. (But, in fact, at the end of "[[Crimes of the Hot]]", he managed to get up without help)<br />
*More than once throughout the episode, Cartridge Unit is seen talking without the use of a cartridge. Although this can be said to be the result of Bender's imagination not filling out the details, it was not intended by the writers.<br />
*When Bender is attempting to make Yam Schnapps, he is unable to find a plug socket for his blender. However, in "[[Bender Should Not Be Allowed on Television]]" he plugs a TV into a plug socket on his lower body.<br />
**However, it is likely he didn't have enough power in himself to run the blender.<br />
*When the robots swing through New New York on vines, for one frame [[Cymbal-Banging Monkey]]'s pants are brown.<br />
*The Planet Express ship leaks fuel which sets a light putting the crew in danger, even though the ship is powered by dark matter.<br />
**Although this can be said to be the result of Bender's imagination/part of the upgrade to help add to the plot of Robot 1-X helping Bender.<br />

Bender realizes that he loves Robot 1-X - and finds that he never left the factory in the first place, and his experience on the island was an illusion triggered by the upgrade process. He is somewhat unnerved as he feels he can't really trust his senses, but also content that all is back to normal - after all, reality is what you make it.<br />

=== Trivia ===<br />
*The [[Killbots|Killbot]] from the deleted scene in "[[Love's Labours Lost in Space]]" can be seen on the "Roboticon 3003", it is standing in front of Wernstrom's stall.<br />
*The [[Masked Unit]] from "[[Raging Bender]]" can be seen walking in front of the Robot Toys stall in the beginning.<br />
*This is the second episode of the series to involve long fantasies, the first being "[[The Sting]]"; it was also the second episode in the series (and in a row) to revolve around [[Bender]] either getting an upgrade or being changed ("[[Bend Her]]").<br />
* This was also the second and last episode to have an entire act with only one major character (Bender Act 2)<br />
* Also, one of the robots at Roboticon 3003, and at the robot upgrading place became an enemy in [[Futurama (video game)|the video game]].<br />
* [[Fatbot]], one of the [[Fratbots]] from [[Mars University (place)#Epsilon Rho Rho|Epsilon Rho Rho]], is the robot in line behind [[Bender]] waiting to get the upgrade.<br />
<br />
=== Allusions ===<br />
*The mill-wheel-powered robot's name is Lisa, the name of the Apple Macintosh's predecessor.<br />
*Sinclair 2K probably refers to the Sinclair home computer series of the 80s.<br />
*The wooden submarine has its origin in the series' creators obsession for a similar device, possibly '''C.S.S. Hunley''' or the '''Turtle'''.<br />
*Wernstrom impresses the audience with that his [[killbot]] has {{w|Lotus Notes}} on it.<br />
*The title may be an allusion to the "Britcom" {{w|Absolutely Fabulous}}<br />

=== Goofs ===<br />
*At the beginning of the episode the crew is seen attending [[Roboticon 3003]], but in the previous episode,"[[Bend Her]]", Hermes and Bender are seen competing in the 3004 Earth Olympics.<br />
*Bender is shown getting up off his back even though he has been shown [[Crimes of the Hot|previously]] to be unable to do this. Then again, perhaps he was slightly on his side. (But, in fact, at the end of "[[Crimes of the Hot]]", he managed to get up without help)<br />
*More than once throughout the episode, Cartridge Unit is seen talking without the use of a cartridge. Although this can be said to be the result of Bender's imagination not filling out the details, it was not intended by the writers.<br />
*When Bender is attempting to make Yam Schnapps, he is unable to find a plug socket for his blender. However, in "[[Bender Should Not Be Allowed on Television]]" he plugs a TV into a plug socket on his lower body.<br />
**However, it is likely he didn't have enough power in himself to run the blender.<br />
*When the robots swing through New New York on vines, for one frame [[Cymbal-Banging Monkey]]'s pants are brown.<br />
*The Planet Express ship leaks fuel which sets a light putting the crew in danger, even though the ship is powered by dark matter.<br />
**Although this can be said to be the result of Bender's imagination/part of the upgrade to help add to the plot of Robot 1-X helping Bender.<br />

"'''Yo Leela Leela'''" is the one hundred and ninth episode of ''[[Futurama]]'', the twenty-first of the [[Season 6|sixth production season]] and the sixth of the [[Broadcast season 8|eighth broadcast season]]. It aired 21 July, 2011 on [[Comedy Central]]. [[Turanga Leela|Leela]] becomes a Hollywood big shot after creating a hit children's [[television]] series.<br />
<br />
== Plot ==<br />
=== Act I: "We don't got books no more." ===<br />
[[File:Yo Leela Leela 1.png|left|thumb|[[Albert]] in the [[Cookieville Minimum-Security Orphanarium]].]]<br />
Leela visits the [[Cookieville Minimum-Security Orphanarium]] where she grew up in order to read a story to the orphans. However, she is informed that the orphans ate all of their books long ago (being unable to afford food), leaving nothing left to read. Leela tries to improvise a story on the spot, but does a poor job of it, and the orphans are vocal in their disappointment. Dejected by her failure to entertain them, Leela decides to try and write a children's story of her own, but is unable to concentrate in the noisy Planet Express building; she takes the Planet Express ship to another, unseen planet where she will be able to write in peace.<br />
<br />
Later, Leela returns to the orphanarium to tell her new story; she has invented a whimsical fantasy setting named "Rumbledy-Hump", which is inhabited by cartoonish creatures called "Humplings" who sing moralistic songs. While the children are initially reluctant to listen, fearing Leela's new story will be just as bad as the first, they are quickly won over by her latest effort, and eagerly ask her to return to tell another story. Leela is then approached by [[Abner Doubledeal]], now working as a television producer, who was watching her presentation from another room. Doubledeal had earlier subjected the orphans to a test screening for a new lineup of children's shows, but none of the flashy, fast-paced programs caught their interest; in contrast, the simple, colorful world Leela created was able to hold their attention. Doubledeal proposes adapting Rumbledy-Hump into a basic cable television series. Leela hesitates, wary of the corrupting influence of Hollywood, but when the orphans encourage her to further develop something that brought them so much joy, she accepts.<br />
<br />
=== Act II: "Cheap lights. Off-brand camera." ===<br />
[[File:Yo Leela Leela 2.png|left|thumb|[[Abner Doubledeal]] in the [[Planet Express headquarters]].]]<br />
Leela arrives late for the filming of the first episode of the Rumbledy-Hump series, having just returned from her "quiet place" with the script in hand. Production goes smoothly, and the episode airs as planned, with the costumed members of the Planet Express crew acting as the main cast. Leela is proud of the work they've done, although she expects little to come of it, claiming that good television series are always canceled... sometimes two or three times. However, when the next day's television ratings arrive (from the future), Rumbledy-Hump is revealed as a smash hit, and its popularity explodes; the show is adapted into a series of books and children's toys, and Leela becomes famous overnight. She is honored at the Slurm-sponsored "Young People's Choice Awards", and attends a celebration that evening, although her newfound fame has caused a change in her attitude; Leela has become snooty and arrogant, regarding herself as a creative genius, and disregarding her friends' contributions to the show. <br />
<br />
When Doubledeal tells Leela that he needs the script for the next episode, despite the late hour, she takes the Planet Express ship to her "quiet place" in order to work on it. A dazed Bender stumbles out of the ship, having seduced a fembot at the party, and discovers Leela observing a group of aliens who are identical to the Humplings; it turns out that Rumbledy-Hump is a real place, and is the planet that Leela has been retreating to.<br />
<br />
=== Act III: "Be it parsnips or peppers or kale or zucchini." ===<br />
[[File:Yo Leela Leela 3.png|left|thumb|[[Turanga Leela|Leela]], dressed as Lady Buggle, in the Planet Express headquarters.]]<br />
Bender learns that Leela never actually wrote any of the scripts for her show; she stumbled upon Rumbledy-Hump while searching for a quiet place to write, and has merely been transcribing the words and actions of the native Humplings, then claiming it as her own work. Bender admires Leela's hypocrisy, although he swiftly blackmails her, threatening to expose her as a fraud unless she shares half of the show's gross profits with him.<br />
<br />
Filming of the show continues as normal until Leela is approached by [[Sally]], who shows her a simple drawing of her own magical cast of characters from a place called "Butterscotch Hollow". Leela is surprised that Sally was able to develop an original setting using her own imagination (when Leela herself could not), but Sally replies that Leela's work serves to inspire her. Overcome with guilt, Leela takes the crew to the real Rumbledy-Hump, where she confesses that her scripts are plagiarized from the life experiences of the Humplings. She admits that she should have come forward sooner, but she took great pride in being able to make the orphans happy, and didn't want to disappoint them.<br />
<br />
Doubledeal is shocked to learn that the Humplings are real, but quickly turns the situation to his advantage; rather than make a Rumbledy-Hump adaptation using scripts and actors in suits, he simply films the Humplings directly as a reality television show. Leela is outraged by what she perceives as the exploitation of the innocent creatures, but the arrangement is actually a beneficial one. The Humplings are introduced to the conveniences of modern technology, greatly improving the quality of their lives, while Doubledeal himself adopts all of the orphans, putting them to work as the show's production crew and providing them all with full-time jobs. Leela, however, is still wracked with guilt, and has developed a psychological need to be criticized for her deception, demanding to be "punished". She cries out in despair as the assembled children and Humplings sing and dance around her, proclaiming their love and appreciation for her.<br />
<br />
== Production ==<br />
During May [[2011]], ''[[Countdown to Futurama]]'' began released three items of promotional material for the episode: concept art of [[Dr. Amy Wong|Amy]] and [[Dr. John A. Zoidberg|Zoidberg]] dressed up as other [[character]]s from the episode on 24 May, concept art of [[Bender Bending Rodríguez|Bender]] wearing a fur coat and a bling on 25 May, and part of [[Storyboard:Yo Leela Leela|the storyboard]] showing two babies engaged in [[Extreme Toddler Wrestling]] on 26 May.<br />
<br />
Comedy Central released a video clip set in the [[Cookieville Minimum-Security Orphanarium]] featuring [[Turanga Leela|Leela]] telling [[Warden Vogel]] that she has a new story for the [[orphans]] and [[Abner Doubledeal]] visiting to conduct market research on 14 July, 2011.<ref>[http://www.comedycentral.com/videos/index.jhtml?videoId=391945&title=preview---tickelodeon-kids-network/ Tickelodeon Kids Network]</ref><br />

<br />

=== Trivia ===<br />
* Just as he was in ''[[Bender's Big Score]]'', Tom Kenny is given a "Special Appearance" credit.<br />
* The daycare center where [[Extreme Toddler Wrestling]] is broadcast from was originally named after wrestler {{w|Randy "Macho Man" Savage}}. Due to the poor timing of this episode, airing more than three months after Savage's death, the center was renamed.<br />
* This episode is one of the few in this broadcast season that uses the full opening sequence with cartoon and all.<br />
* The opening sequence of ''Popular Slut Club'' features two of the orphans.<br />
*The theme tune to ''Popular Slut Club'' was sung by an autotuned [[Eric Rogers]], another [[Futurama]] writer.<br />
*The official Comedy Central website spells the ''Rumbledy-hump'' show as "Rumbledeehump".<br />
*When Leela said all good shows get canceled, she is referencing the idea that many shows of the early twenty-first century were cancelled due to low ratings, despite having a large, vocal, and loyal following. When she adds that it happens two or three times, she's referencing Futurama itself, whose fate has been unsure at least three times.<br />
<br />
=== Allusions ===<br />
<!-- The allusions section should be ordered chronologically, i. e. what happens first in the episode, should be listed first. Please follow this.--><br />
<!-- Overall --><br />
* The title of the episode, and the concept of the show she creates, ''[[Rumbledy-hump]]'', are parodies of the TV show ''{{w|Yo Gabba Gabba!}}''.<br />
<!-- Act I --><br />
* The caption under the Futurama logo for this episode which reads "PENETRATES EVEN THE THICKEST FOIL HAT" is a reference to Futurama's film ''[[Into the Wild Green Yonder]]'' seeing as foil hats in the film were suppose to protect everyone's minds from The Dark Ones.<br />
** It could also just be a general reference to {{w|tin foil hat}} conspiracies, which ''Into the Wild Green Yonder'' also references.<br />
* When Leela first attempts to write a story, she says she only need to come up with three of some animal. This is a reference to such fairy tales by {{w|Grimm Brothers|the Brothers Grimm}} as {{w|Three Little Pigs}}, {{w|Goldilocks and the Three Bears}}, and {{w|The Three Billy Goats Gruff}} as well as the {{w|Rule of three (writing)|Rule of three}} in writing.<br />
* When Fry is playing trombone, he is playing "When the Saints Go Marching In" and mentions it is the only song he knows. Commander William Riker on ''Star Trek: the Next Generation'' was a trombone player and on most of the occasions he played in the series, he was playing that song.<br />
* The name of the television network, ''Tickelodeon'', is a pun on the 20th/21st century kids channel''{{w|Nickelodeon (TV channel)|Nickelodeon}}'' and the word ''tickle''.<br />
* The daycare center where [[Extreme Toddler Wrestling]] is broadcast from is named after wrestler {{w|Roddy Piper|Rowdy Roddy Piper}}.<br />
* The term {{w|Glossary of professional wrestling terms#Smark|smart mark}}, as used by Abner Doubledeal, is professional wrestling slang which (among other things) can be used to describe a fan who believes they know more about the workings of the business than they really do.<br />
<!-- Act II --><br />
*When Zoidberg sings the lyric "Like a horse, a turtle or a cricket", Bender (in his Garglie character) says "I like turtles!", referencing the viral video of a young boy who says the same thing when being interviewed on the news.<br />
*Leela said a show that is often slightly good gets cancelled, sometimes two or three times. This is an obvious reference to the handling of ''Futurama'' throughout its history.<br />
*Abner Doubledeal says that Leela's show would be bigger than [[SpongeBot SquareBolts]], a reference or upgrade to {{w|SpongeBob SquarePants}}. [[Tom Kenny]], the voice of Doubledeal, also voices SpongeBob. <br />
*Albert eats a book called ''Go, Ladybuggle, Go'', a parody of the {{w|P.D. Eastman}} book ''{{w|Go, Dog, Go}}''.<br />
*The [[Young People's Choice Awards]] are a parody of the {{w|People's Choice Awards}} and the {{w|Nickelodeon Kid's Choice Awards}}. They also briefly mention the "Old People's Choice Awards, also known as the {{w|Oscars}}". Leela being "[[Slurm]]ed" is a reference to people being "slimed" on the Kids' Choice Awards.<br />
*Some of the nominees for Best New Kids Show are parodies of real life childrens' shows:<br />
**''Yo Gimme Gimme'' is another reference to Yo Gabba Gabba!<br />
**''Dora the Destroyer'' is a parody or reboot of or sequel/spinoff series to the Nickelodeon show, ''{{w|Dora the Explorer}}''.<br />
*Leela says to Fry, "It's nice to have the support of {{w|Viewers Like You}}," a reference to the last sponsor of every single PBS program.<br />
* The fembot actress/massage chair that [[Bender]] meets plays a role as a high school student who's secretly a rock star. This is a reference to Disney Channel's "Hannah Montana" which is also about a high school student who's secretly a rock star.<br />
<!-- Act III --><br />
* The aliens singing "And poo poo, and pee pee, and penis and gay, these are the 98 words we don't say." alludes to the 2011 bill passed in Tennessee known as the "Don't Say Gay" bill (which prohibits teachers from even mentioning homosexuality in any grade before 9), and possibly the infamous comedy routine '7 Words You Can't Say on Television.'<br />
*When [[Fry]] said to [[Leela]] that she may have become a Lady Gaga-esque fame hag, this was a direct jab at Lady Gaga and her amount of popularity as well as a possible reference to Lady Gaga's album "Fame".<br />
<br />
=== Continuity ===<br />
[[File:Scruffy 6ACV21.png|right|thumb|Scruffy appears briefly as male, in spite of still being a woman at the end of "[[Neutopia]]".]]<br />
<!-- The continuity section should be ordered chronologically, i. e. what happens first in the episode, should be listed first. Please follow this.--><br />
<!-- Overall --><br />
<!-- Act I --><br />
*When [[Abner Doubledeal]] presents himself, [[Turanga Leela|Leela]] says that she already knows him. She did in fact know him as the owner of the [[New New York Mets]] blernsball team, in which she was the star in "[[A Leela of Her Own]]" and before that, the owner of the [[Ultimate Robot Fighting League]], which she helped Bender train for in "[[Raging Bender]]".<br />
<!-- Act II --><br />
*[[Scruffy]] appears male in this episode even though he was still female at the end of "[[Neutopia]]", the previous episode. Though, the gender switch could have been temporary all along, since the [[big rock alien]] doesn't have an actually concept of gender. When The [[Borax Kid]] changes them back, he could have just sped up the reversal process.<br />
*Calculon seems to have healed from his injuries, sustained in "[[The Silence of the Clamps]]", which, as the previous episode in broadcast order, was a rather quick recovery.<br />
*[[Bender Bending Rodriguez|Bender's]] liking of turtles in his [[Garglie]] suit seems to recall his experiences with one in "[[Crimes of the Hot]]"<br />
<!-- Act III --><br />
<br />
=== Goofs ===<br />
<!-- The goofs section should be ordered chronologically, i. e. what happens first in the episode, should be listed first. Please follow this.--><br />
<!-- Overall --><br />
<!-- Act I --><br />
<!-- Act II --><br />
<!-- Act III --><br />
*Bender says that he had the best Christmas ever instead of the best Xmas ever.<br />
*When [[Albert]] says there's someone standing on him, he should know that it was [[Bender]] since Bender had adopted him in "[[The Cyber House Rules]]".<br />
** Although [[Albert]] may have been unable to see who it was.<br />
*The can of [[Slurm|Diet Slurm]] next to Leela when she is getting distracted whilst trying to write turns into a normal can of Slurm.<br />
*The [[Humpling|Humplings]] constantly change size in the episode.<br />
