<div>==Episode Title==<br />
Mobius Dick is also a 2004 novel by Andrew Crumey. [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mobius_Dick]<br />
<br />
== Ships in the Graveyard ==<br />
<br />
I love the ships in the Graveyard - but can't identify them all. The BEST obscure ship has to be the last one - from "Josie & the Pussycats in Outer Space"! I also recognize the "Jupiter" from "Lost in Space" - what are some of the others?<br />
<br />
There's also the ELO space-ship used in album art of A New World Record, Out of The Blue, Discovery (Disco-Very)<br />
<br />
There was an Oceanic ship.. I believe it to be a reference to LOST series, a series done by ABC Family. I am not sure, though. :3<br />
<br />
== Blonde guy? ==<br />
<br />
Who were all the other people who came out of the 4D bowel at the end? I recognized Dr. Who but not the other two.<br />
<br />
Ok, 2 theories on the blond guy seen in the 4D bowels of the space whale ( --[[User:Malorkus|Malorkus]] 23:21, 7 August 2011 (CEST) ):<br />
:1. He is actor {{w|Sam Rockwell}}, wearing the flight suit from the movie {{w|Moon_(film)|Moon}} and the hairdo from his role as {{w|Zaphod Beeblebrox}} in {{w|The_Hitchhiker's_Guide_to_the_Galaxy_(film)|The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy}}.<br />
:2. He is {{w|Richard Branson}}, chairman/founder of {{w|Virgin Galactic}} -- space flight pioneer and presumably gone missing in our near future.<br />
<br />
Also of note, the bowels also seemed to contain 3 Russian Cosmonauts (who later emerge from the whale back at Planet Express) and {{w|Amelia Earhart}} (who we never see later outside of the whale). ( --[[User:Malorkus|Malorkus]] 23:21, 7 August 2011 (CEST) )<br />
<br />
== Allusions ==<br />
<br />
"''Möbius Dick'' is also well known in the mathematics community as the answer to a pun-based math riddle: ''What's non-orientable and lives in the ocean?'' and the title of a 2000 {{w|science-fiction}} novel by {{w|Andrew Crumey}}."<br />
<br />
Because they refer to two separate facts, they should have separate bullet points. Not only that, the puzzle solution and the novel don't even have the same titles. "Möbius Dick" (puzzle, with umlaut) and "Mobius Dick" (novel, without). -- [[User:DeepSpaceHomer|DeepSpaceHomer]] 17:06, 5 August 2011 (CEST)<br />
<br />
But they are similar titles, and both bullet points have the same concept, and start out the SAME EXACT WAY. I do not know what your problem is with compound sentences. This is basically what you want<br />
<br />
*I am a bird<br />
*I am a person<br />
<br />
This is what I want<br />
<br />
*I am a bird and a person<br />
Now do you see what I'm trying to do? --[[User:Icyweaner2999|Icyweaner2999]] 17:15, 5 August 2011 (CEST)<br />
:Only one of the above things is "Möbius Dick", the other is not. It's a bit pedantic, yes, but similarity does not equal sameness. Different titles should mean separate facts. -- [[User:DeepSpaceHomer|DeepSpaceHomer]] 17:25, 5 August 2011 (CEST)<br />
<br />
So you're separating it all because of an umlaut? No way--[[User:Icyweaner2999|Icyweaner2999]] 18:58, 5 August 2011 (CEST)<br />
<br />
: Two bullet points make it easier to read than combining them into one. --'''[[User:Svip|Svip]]'''<sup>[[User talk:Svip|talk]]</sup> 19:03, 5 August 2011 (CEST)<br />
<br />
Getting to the point is easier to read than unnecessarily expanding the article because of a single umlaut--[[User:Icyweaner2999|Icyweaner2999]] 19:10, 5 August 2011 (CEST)<br />
<br />
: I am not talking about the umlaut, I am talking about two different allusions might be easier to overlook if they are separated. After all, we are writing a bullet list, not prose. --'''[[User:Svip|Svip]]'''<sup>[[User talk:Svip|talk]]</sup> 19:37, 5 August 2011 (CEST)<br />
<br />
Yes you are talking about the umlaut. It's what literally forced you to make them bulleted separately when the points are the exact same idea--[[User:Icyweaner2999|Icyweaner2999]] 19:52, 5 August 2011 (CEST)<br />
<br />
: Don't go visiting my intentions. I am not talking about the umlaut, I am talking about them being two different works. --'''[[User:Svip|Svip]]'''<sup>[[User talk:Svip|talk]]</sup> 20:05, 5 August 2011 (CEST)<br />
<br />
Just because they're different works doesn't mean they get different bullets--[[User:Icyweaner2999|Icyweaner2999]] 20:15, 5 August 2011 (CEST)<br />
<br />
:The umlaut is only important in the sense that they are different from one another, which is the point I was trying to make originally. They are two separate works, each deserving of it's own line of trivia. -- [[User:DeepSpaceHomer|DeepSpaceHomer]] 20:11, 5 August 2011 (CEST)<br />
<br />
I agree with Icy, rhus it's not community consensus, and just because it was 2 to 1 doesn't make it community consensus--[[Special:Contributions/174.255.112.29|174.255.112.29]]<br />
<br />
:They are two different things and I think it should be separated to make it more clear. --[[User:Superbender|Superbender]] 19:11, 7 August 2011 (CEST)<br />
<br />
Just because they're different works doesn't mean they get different bullets. They still have the same exact title. Why dont you understand that? A separate bullet causes repetition, something that Icy was trying to prevent. I mean, come on people!--[[Special:Contributions/174.255.112.29|174.255.112.29]]<br />
<br />
: You agree with yourself? How amazing! --'''[[User:Svip|Svip]]'''<sup>[[User talk:Svip|talk]]</sup> 19:21, 7 August 2011 (CEST)<br />
<br />
What are you talking about? You still haven't explained anything about how the separate bullets wouldn't be redundant--[[Special:Contributions/174.255.112.29|174.255.112.29]] 19:31, 7 August 2011 (CEST)<br />
<br />
: I sure have. But also redundancy is not the issue, it was what looks better and is easier to read. If redundancy makes it better, then I am all in favour of redundancy.<br />
: And also, stop treating me like an idiot, I know you are Icyweaner2999. Your commenting and writing style are so similar and you just seem to be continuing the conversation. You are basically evading a block right now. Which is a clear disrespect of our rules. --'''[[User:Svip|Svip]]'''<sup>[[User talk:Svip|talk]]</sup> 19:34, 7 August 2011 (CEST)<br />

== Joke or Goof? ==<br />
<br />
Not sure if this is an intended joke or goof when the space whale gets harpooned and yanks the ship. Bender is the first person to hit the wall and then disappears behind the other characters piling on the wall. Then Bender hits the last person to pile on the wall.<br />
<br />
== While in the 4th Dimension ==<br />
<br />
The only quote that seems to sound correct backwards is Hermes, while Amy's quote backwards sounds like something possibly being said in Chinese.<br />
<br />
== (Trivia) "When Bender is told that the [[spacebergs]] are giant diamonds, his pupils momentarily become diamond (lozenge) shaped." ==<br />
<br />
Icyweaner2999 - sorry, why exactly have you removed this from the article? [[User:Conradici|Conradici]] 14:45, 9 August 2011 (CEST)<br />
<br />
Because that's not exactly trivia, nor a goof. It's just a joke scene used for comedy. You only added it for the sake of adding it--[[User:Icyweaner2999|Icyweaner2999]] 14:47, 9 August 2011 (CEST)<br />
<br />
:Well, I didn't notice Bender's eyes when I watched the episode. There's no harm in this piece of trivia being in the article. -- [[User:DeepSpaceHomer|DeepSpaceHomer]] 15:15, 9 August 2011 (CEST)<br />
<br />
::But how is it notable exactly? It was blatant, not trivial--[[User:Icyweaner2999|Icyweaner2999]] 15:17, 9 August 2011 (CEST)<br />
<br />
:::I'm not rehashing the notability argument. I'll just say that I think it should have remained, and that you should have brought it up in discussion before removing it unilaterally. -- [[User:DeepSpaceHomer|DeepSpaceHomer]] 16:04, 9 August 2011 (CEST)<br />
<br />
I didn't think the removal was going to be questioned. Are you saying I have to ask permission every time to edit any page I wish to edit? Besides, Bender's irises can change shape, that's already been established. No reason to make it trivia 7 broadcast seasons in--[[User:Icyweaner2999|Icyweaner2999]] 16:07, 9 August 2011 (CEST)<br />
:So it can be put under continuity. It's a relevant fact. And no at no point did I say you need to ask permission before editing. I'm not your boss. But when removing pieces of trivia for reasons like "notability", it's probably better to see what anyone else thinks. -- [[User:DeepSpaceHomer|DeepSpaceHomer]] 16:12, 9 August 2011 (CEST)<br />
<br />
So, we can put a page called "Fry's armpit" and you'd consider it notable? Please, the bullet is not notable at all, and if a lack of notability is not a reason to remove a trivia bullet, then let's bring in everything not related to Futurama into this wiki. It's like putting in "Bender used his robotic abilities again in this episode", something unprofessional, unnotable, and frankly, idiotic. Please, think before you run off your big mouth (something you admitted to) to someone who is just trying to keep the wiki clear of nonsense--[[User:Icyweaner2999|Icyweaner2999]] 16:16, 9 August 2011 (CEST)<br />
<br />
:Wow. You have a temper. I'm not even going to try arguing with insults, so I'll just take my leave to greener pastures. -- [[User:DeepSpaceHomer|DeepSpaceHomer]] 16:23, 9 August 2011 (CEST)<br />
<br />
I'm not even angry. I'm just surprised you'd try to provoke me hours after my release.--[[User:Icyweaner2999|Icyweaner2999]] 16:27, 9 August 2011 (CEST)<br />
<br />
Icy, don't take everything personal. I for one think it ''is'' notable, because it is a fun note that a lot of viewers would miss. Just because someone disagrees with you doesn't mean they "try to provoke" you. - [[User:Aki|aki]]<sup>[[User talk:Aki|talk]]</sup> 16:58, 9 August 2011 (CEST)<br />
<br />
First, Conradici said to drop the subject, and second, fun doesn't make it notable. And you're also wrong about DSH. If you actually read his comments, you'd see his language was very provoking.--[[User:Icyweaner2999|Icyweaner2999]] 17:00, 9 August 2011 (CEST)<br />
<br />
Icyweaner, you need to relax, he wasn't provoking you, he just disagreed with you. Personally, I think that it can stay in the "Trivia" section --[[User:Superbender|Superbender]] 17:04, 9 August 2011 (CEST)<br />
<br />
Again, why are none of you giving actual reasons? Vandalism is fun to those who do it, does that mean you keep it? Bender's eyes changing shape is a common occurrence that is not trivia-worthy, it's part of his programming. If it wasn't notable before, what makes it notable now?--[[User:Icyweaner2999|Icyweaner2999]] 17:07, 9 August 2011 (CEST)<br />
:I don't recall saying it's never been notable before. Concerning vandalism, it destroys the site and is noteworthy for ''no-one''. This trivia/continuity is fun/interesting for many people, as evident by the opinions expressed in this thread. Third: is this really such a big deal? You're nitpicking. - [[User:Aki|aki]]<sup>[[User talk:Aki|talk]]</sup> 17:17, 9 August 2011 (CEST)<br />
<br />
No, I'm not nitpicking. You just contradicted yourself AGAIN. I on the other hand have been explaining how this piece of trivia is unimportant, and none of you have explained how it is important. It's like saying "Fry continues to have red hair". Is that important? No. It's the same situation with Bender's eyes and greed. The eyes becoming diamond-shaped isn't continuity, it's a part of his personality.--[[User:Icyweaner2999|Icyweaner2999]] 17:25, 9 August 2011 (CEST)<br />
:On topic: Okay, I'll try to explain more properly. It is continuity in the same way as it is continuity that Bender dances with Amy at the end of 6ACV12 - they have been together before, and so it is a fun note that they still seem to be somewhat close to eachother. It's not necessarily of extreme note, and it is not necessarily meant to be (maybe the writers didn't think about it), but it is an interesting thing to read about the episode.<br />
:Another example is if the Professor talks about his doomsday devices in an episode. This is a big interest of his, having been showcased in multiple episodes, yet it is still fun to note that "The Professor discusses his doomsday devices, that have previously been seen or used in [...]". - [[User:Aki|aki]]<sup>[[User talk:Aki|talk]]</sup> 17:31, 9 August 2011 (CEST)<br />
:Wait, when did I contradict myself? Are you still talking about your personal e-mails to me in which you kept quoting me completely out of context? - [[User:Aki|aki]]<sup>[[User talk:Aki|talk]]</sup> 17:33, 9 August 2011 (CEST)<br />
<br />
::What part of "Just because it's fun doesn't make it notable" don't you understand? You're rehashing invalid points. "Fun" and "interesting" in this case are also more subjective than anything. It isn't fun to read unnotable trivia that claims to be interesting without a proper reason--[[User:Icyweaner2999|Icyweaner2999]] 17:39, 9 August 2011 (CEST)<br />
<br />
:::Because it's not really a reasoning here. We have a very very weak noticeable requirement. It is noticeable enough for our wiki. I find it interesting to note. --'''[[User:Svip|Svip]]'''<sup>[[User talk:Svip|talk]]</sup> 17:43, 9 August 2011 (CEST)<br />
<br />
::::Then the notability policy should've been strengthened. The fact that this conversation was supposed to be dropped, as requested by the conversation starter, indicates clear ganging up on another user. All you keep saying is it should be kept without ANY reason. I give reason, and yet I'm being bitten right in my shiny muscular brain. That is very hypocritical--[[User:Icyweaner2999|Icyweaner2999]] 17:47, 9 August 2011 (CEST)<br />
<br />
:::::No no, you are misinterpreting what we are saying. We just disagree with your reasoning. And I ask you this simple question; does it hurt the article? I don't think so. --'''[[User:Svip|Svip]]'''<sup>[[User talk:Svip|talk]]</sup> 17:51, 9 August 2011 (CEST)<br />
<br />
::::''Edit conflict: I wrote the following before Svip's and Icy's new comments. That shouldn't change the points though.''<br />
::::Seeing as you completely ignored my recommendation of indention, I indented your post for you.<br />
::::Ofcourse it is subjective. If we are to be entirely objective, ''Futurama'' as a whole is not relevant enough to garner its own wiki, and we should stick with the poor Wikipedia entries. But we are ''not'' objective. We are ''not'' Wikipedia. We have a completely different view, in which almost anything appearing on the show is notable enough to be mentioned.

<br />
There was obviously no proper introduction, and the article was describing the scene, not the character.

== Joke or Goof? ==<br />

Not sure if this is an intended joke or goof when the space whale gets harpooned and yanks the ship. Bender is the first person to hit the wall and then disappears behind the other characters piling on the wall. Then Bender hits the last person to pile on the wall.<br />

<br />
I didn't think the removal was going to be questioned. Are you saying I have to ask permission every time to edit any page I wish to edit?

:So it can be put under continuity. It's a relevant fact. And no at no point did I say you need to ask permission before editing. I'm not your boss. But when removing pieces of trivia for reasons like "notability", it's probably better to see what anyone else thinks. -- [[User:DeepSpaceHomer|DeepSpaceHomer]] 16:12, 9 August 2011 (CEST)<br />
<br />
So, we can put a page called "Fry's armpit" and you'd consider it notable? Please, the bullet is not notable at all, and if a lack of notability is not a reason to remove a trivia bullet, then let's bring in everything not related to Futurama into this wiki.

<br />

<br />
Icy, don't take everything personal. I for one think it ''is'' notable, because it is a fun note that a lot of viewers would miss. Just because someone disagrees with you doesn't mean they "try to provoke" you. - [[User:Aki|aki]]<sup>[[User talk:Aki|talk]]</sup> 16:58, 9 August 2011 (CEST)<br />
<br />
First, Conradici said to drop the subject, and second, fun doesn't make it notable. And you're also wrong about DSH. If you actually read his comments, you'd see his language was very provoking.--[[User:Icyweaner2999|Icyweaner2999]] 17:00, 9 August 2011 (CEST)<br />
<br />
Icyweaner, you need to relax, he wasn't provoking you, he just disagreed with you. Personally, I think that it can stay in the "Trivia" section --[[User:Superbender|Superbender]] 17:04, 9 August 2011 (CEST)<br />
<br />
Again, why are none of you giving actual reasons? Vandalism is fun to those who do it, does that mean you keep it? Bender's eyes changing shape is a common occurrence that is not trivia-worthy, it's part of his programming. If it wasn't notable before, what makes it notable now?--[[User:Icyweaner2999|Icyweaner2999]] 17:07, 9 August 2011 (CEST)<br />
:I don't recall saying it's never been notable before. Concerning vandalism, it destroys the site and is noteworthy for ''no-one''. This trivia/continuity is fun/interesting for many people, as evident by the opinions expressed in this thread. Third: is this really such a big deal? You're nitpicking. - [[User:Aki|aki]]<sup>[[User talk:Aki|talk]]</sup> 17:17, 9 August 2011 (CEST)<br />
<br />
No, I'm not nitpicking. You just contradicted yourself AGAIN. I on the other hand have been explaining how this piece of trivia is unimportant, and none of you have explained how it is important. It's like saying "Fry continues to have red hair". Is that important? No. It's the same situation with Bender's eyes and greed. The eyes becoming diamond-shaped isn't continuity, it's a part of his personality.--[[User:Icyweaner2999|Icyweaner2999]] 17:25, 9 August 2011 (CEST)<br />
:On topic: Okay, I'll try to explain more properly. It is continuity in the same way as it is continuity that Bender dances with Amy at the end of 6ACV12 - they have been together before, and so it is a fun note that they still seem to be somewhat close to eachother. It's not necessarily of extreme note, and it is not necessarily meant to be (maybe the writers didn't think about it), but it is an interesting thing to read about the episode.<br />
:Another example is if the Professor talks about his doomsday devices in an episode. This is a big interest of his, having been showcased in multiple episodes, yet it is still fun to note that "The Professor discusses his doomsday devices, that have previously been seen or used in [...]". - [[User:Aki|aki]]<sup>[[User talk:Aki|talk]]</sup> 17:31, 9 August 2011 (CEST)<br />
:Wait, when did I contradict myself? Are you still talking about your personal e-mails to me in which you kept quoting me completely out of context? - [[User:Aki|aki]]<sup>[[User talk:Aki|talk]]</sup> 17:33, 9 August 2011 (CEST)<br />
<br />
::What part of "Just because it's fun doesn't make it notable" don't you understand? You're rehashing invalid points. "Fun" and "interesting" in this case are also more subjective than anything. It isn't fun to read unnotable trivia that claims to be interesting without a proper reason--[[User:Icyweaner2999|Icyweaner2999]] 17:39, 9 August 2011 (CEST)<br />
<br />

<br />
::::Then the notability policy should've been strengthened.

::::Seeing as you completely ignored my recommendation of indention, I indented your post for you.<br />

<div>==Episode Title==<br />
Mobius Dick is also a 2004 novel by Andrew Crumey. [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mobius_Dick]<br />
<br />
== Ships in the Graveyard ==<br />
<br />
I love the ships in the Graveyard - but can't identify them all. The BEST obscure ship has to be the last one - from "Josie & the Pussycats in Outer Space"! I also recognize the "Jupiter" from "Lost in Space" - what are some of the others?<br />
<br />
There's also the ELO space-ship used in album art of A New World Record, Out of The Blue, Discovery (Disco-Very)<br />
<br />
There was an Oceanic ship.. I believe it to be a reference to LOST series, a series done by ABC Family. I am not sure, though. :3<br />
<br />
== Blonde guy? ==<br />
<br />
Who were all the other people who came out of the 4D bowel at the end? I recognized Dr. Who but not the other two.<br />
<br />
Ok, 2 theories on the blond guy seen in the 4D bowels of the space whale ( --[[User:Malorkus|Malorkus]] 23:21, 7 August 2011 (CEST) ):<br />
:1. He is actor {{w|Sam Rockwell}}, wearing the flight suit from the movie {{w|Moon_(film)|Moon}} and the hairdo from his role as {{w|Zaphod Beeblebrox}} in {{w|The_Hitchhiker's_Guide_to_the_Galaxy_(film)|The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy}}.<br />
:2. He is {{w|Richard Branson}}, chairman/founder of {{w|Virgin Galactic}} -- space flight pioneer and presumably gone missing in our near future.<br />
<br />
Also of note, the bowels also seemed to contain 3 Russian Cosmonauts (who later emerge from the whale back at Planet Express) and {{w|Amelia Earhart}} (who we never see later outside of the whale). ( --[[User:Malorkus|Malorkus]] 23:21, 7 August 2011 (CEST) )<br />
<br />
== Allusions ==<br />
<br />
"''Möbius Dick'' is also well known in the mathematics community as the answer to a pun-based math riddle: ''What's non-orientable and lives in the ocean?'' and the title of a 2000 {{w|science-fiction}} novel by {{w|Andrew Crumey}}."<br />
<br />
Because they refer to two separate facts, they should have separate bullet points. Not only that, the puzzle solution and the novel don't even have the same titles. "Möbius Dick" (puzzle, with umlaut) and "Mobius Dick" (novel, without). -- [[User:DeepSpaceHomer|DeepSpaceHomer]] 17:06, 5 August 2011 (CEST)<br />
<br />
But they are similar titles, and both bullet points have the same concept, and start out the SAME EXACT WAY. I do not know what your problem is with compound sentences. This is basically what you want<br />
<br />
*I am a bird<br />
*I am a person<br />
<br />
This is what I want<br />
<br />
*I am a bird and a person<br />
Now do you see what I'm trying to do? --[[User:Icyweaner2999|Icyweaner2999]] 17:15, 5 August 2011 (CEST)<br />
:Only one of the above things is "Möbius Dick", the other is not. It's a bit pedantic, yes, but similarity does not equal sameness. Different titles should mean separate facts. -- [[User:DeepSpaceHomer|DeepSpaceHomer]] 17:25, 5 August 2011 (CEST)<br />

First, Conradici said to drop the subject, and second, fun doesn't make it notable. And you're also wrong about DSH. If you actually read his comments, you'd see his language was very provoking.--[[User:Icyweaner2999|Icyweaner2999]] 17:00, 9 August 2011 (CEST)<br />
<br />
Icyweaner, you need to relax, he wasn't provoking you, he just disagreed with you. Personally, I think that it can stay in the "Trivia" section --[[User:Superbender|Superbender]] 17:04, 9 August 2011 (CEST)<br />
<br />
Again, why are none of you giving actual reasons? Vandalism is fun to those who do it, does that mean you keep it? Bender's eyes changing shape is a common occurrence that is not trivia-worthy, it's part of his programming. If it wasn't notable before, what makes it notable now?--[[User:Icyweaner2999|Icyweaner2999]] 17:07, 9 August 2011 (CEST)<br />
:I don't recall saying it's never been notable before. Concerning vandalism, it destroys the site and is noteworthy for ''no-one''. This trivia/continuity is fun/interesting for many people, as evident by the opinions expressed in this thread. Third: is this really such a big deal? You're nitpicking. - [[User:Aki|aki]]<sup>[[User talk:Aki|talk]]</sup> 17:17, 9 August 2011 (CEST)<br />
<br />
No, I'm not nitpicking. You just contradicted yourself AGAIN. I on the other hand have been explaining how this piece of trivia is unimportant, and none of you have explained how it is important. It's like saying "Fry continues to have red hair". Is that important? No. It's the same situation with Bender's eyes and greed. The eyes becoming diamond-shaped isn't continuity, it's a part of his personality.--[[User:Icyweaner2999|Icyweaner2999]] 17:25, 9 August 2011 (CEST)<br />
:On topic: Okay, I'll try to explain more properly. It is continuity in the same way as it is continuity that Bender dances with Amy at the end of 6ACV12 - they have been together before, and so it is a fun note that they still seem to be somewhat close to eachother. It's not necessarily of extreme note, and it is not necessarily meant to be (maybe the writers didn't think about it), but it is an interesting thing to read about the episode.<br />
:Another example is if the Professor talks about his doomsday devices in an episode. This is a big interest of his, having been showcased in multiple episodes, yet it is still fun to note that "The Professor discusses his doomsday devices, that have previously been seen or used in [...]". - [[User:Aki|aki]]<sup>[[User talk:Aki|talk]]</sup> 17:31, 9 August 2011 (CEST)<br />
:Wait, when did I contradict myself? Are you still talking about your personal e-mails to me in which you kept quoting me completely out of context? - [[User:Aki|aki]]<sup>[[User talk:Aki|talk]]</sup> 17:33, 9 August 2011 (CEST)<br />
<br />
What part of "Just because it's fun doesn't make it notable" don't you understand? You're rehashing invalid points. "Fun" and "interesting" in this case are also more subjective than anything. It isn't fun to read unnotable trivia that claims to be interesting without a proper reason--[[User:Icyweaner2999|Icyweaner2999]] 17:39, 9 August 2011 (CEST)<br />
<br />
:Because it's not really a reasoning here. We have a very very weak noticeable requirement. It is noticeable enough for our wiki. I find it interesting to note. --'''[[User:Svip|Svip]]'''<sup>[[User talk:Svip|talk]]</sup> 17:43, 9 August 2011 (CEST)<br />
<br />
Then the notability policy should've been strengthened. The fact that this conversation was supposed to be dropped, as requested by the conversation starter, indicates clear ganging up on another user. All you keep saying is it should be kept without ANY reason. I give reason, and yet I'm being bitten right in my shiny muscular brain. That is very hypocritical--[[User:Icyweaner2999|Icyweaner2999]] 17:47, 9 August 2011 (CEST)</div>Icyweaner2999https://theinfosphere.org/index.php?title=Talk:M%C3%B6bius_Dick&diff=98267Talk:Möbius Dick2011-08-09T15:39:49Z<p>Icyweaner2999: /* (Trivia) "When Bender is told that the spacebergs are giant diamonds, his pupils momentarily become diamond (lozenge) shaped." */ Off topic portion should've been left on my talkpage.

<div>==Episode Title==<br />
Mobius Dick is also a 2004 novel by Andrew Crumey. [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mobius_Dick]<br />
<br />
== Ships in the Graveyard ==<br />
<br />
I love the ships in the Graveyard - but can't identify them all. The BEST obscure ship has to be the last one - from "Josie & the Pussycats in Outer Space"! I also recognize the "Jupiter" from "Lost in Space" - what are some of the others?<br />
<br />
There's also the ELO space-ship used in album art of A New World Record, Out of The Blue, Discovery (Disco-Very)<br />
<br />
There was an Oceanic ship.. I believe it to be a reference to LOST series, a series done by ABC Family. I am not sure, though. :3<br />
<br />
== Blonde guy? ==<br />
<br />
Who were all the other people who came out of the 4D bowel at the end? I recognized Dr. Who but not the other two.<br />
<br />
Ok, 2 theories on the blond guy seen in the 4D bowels of the space whale ( --[[User:Malorkus|Malorkus]] 23:21, 7 August 2011 (CEST) ):<br />
:1. He is actor {{w|Sam Rockwell}}, wearing the flight suit from the movie {{w|Moon_(film)|Moon}} and the hairdo from his role as {{w|Zaphod Beeblebrox}} in {{w|The_Hitchhiker's_Guide_to_the_Galaxy_(film)|The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy}}.<br />
:2. He is {{w|Richard Branson}}, chairman/founder of {{w|Virgin Galactic}} -- space flight pioneer and presumably gone missing in our near future.<br />
<br />
Also of note, the bowels also seemed to contain 3 Russian Cosmonauts (who later emerge from the whale back at Planet Express) and {{w|Amelia Earhart}} (who we never see later outside of the whale). ( --[[User:Malorkus|Malorkus]] 23:21, 7 August 2011 (CEST) )<br />
<br />
== Allusions ==<br />
<br />
"''Möbius Dick'' is also well known in the mathematics community as the answer to a pun-based math riddle: ''What's non-orientable and lives in the ocean?'' and the title of a 2000 {{w|science-fiction}} novel by {{w|Andrew Crumey}}."<br />
<br />
Because they refer to two separate facts, they should have separate bullet points. Not only that, the puzzle solution and the novel don't even have the same titles. "Möbius Dick" (puzzle, with umlaut) and "Mobius Dick" (novel, without). -- [[User:DeepSpaceHomer|DeepSpaceHomer]] 17:06, 5 August 2011 (CEST)<br />
<br />
But they are similar titles, and both bullet points have the same concept, and start out the SAME EXACT WAY. I do not know what your problem is with compound sentences. This is basically what you want<br />
<br />
*I am a bird<br />
*I am a person<br />
<br />
This is what I want<br />
<br />
*I am a bird and a person<br />
Now do you see what I'm trying to do? --[[User:Icyweaner2999|Icyweaner2999]] 17:15, 5 August 2011 (CEST)<br />
:Only one of the above things is "Möbius Dick", the other is not. It's a bit pedantic, yes, but similarity does not equal sameness. Different titles should mean separate facts. -- [[User:DeepSpaceHomer|DeepSpaceHomer]] 17:25, 5 August 2011 (CEST)<br />
<br />
So you're separating it all because of an umlaut? No way--[[User:Icyweaner2999|Icyweaner2999]] 18:58, 5 August 2011 (CEST)<br />
<br />
: Two bullet points make it easier to read than combining them into one. --'''[[User:Svip|Svip]]'''<sup>[[User talk:Svip|talk]]</sup> 19:03, 5 August 2011 (CEST)<br />
<br />
Getting to the point is easier to read than unnecessarily expanding the article because of a single umlaut--[[User:Icyweaner2999|Icyweaner2999]] 19:10, 5 August 2011 (CEST)<br />
<br />
: I am not talking about the umlaut, I am talking about two different allusions might be easier to overlook if they are separated. After all, we are writing a bullet list, not prose. --'''[[User:Svip|Svip]]'''<sup>[[User talk:Svip|talk]]</sup> 19:37, 5 August 2011 (CEST)<br />
<br />
Yes you are talking about the umlaut. It's what literally forced you to make them bulleted separately when the points are the exact same idea--[[User:Icyweaner2999|Icyweaner2999]] 19:52, 5 August 2011 (CEST)<br />
<br />
: Don't go visiting my intentions. I am not talking about the umlaut, I am talking about them being two different works. --'''[[User:Svip|Svip]]'''<sup>[[User talk:Svip|talk]]</sup> 20:05, 5 August 2011 (CEST)<br />
<br />
Just because they're different works doesn't mean they get different bullets--[[User:Icyweaner2999|Icyweaner2999]] 20:15, 5 August 2011 (CEST)<br />
<br />
:The umlaut is only important in the sense that they are different from one another, which is the point I was trying to make originally. They are two separate works, each deserving of it's own line of trivia. -- [[User:DeepSpaceHomer|DeepSpaceHomer]] 20:11, 5 August 2011 (CEST)<br />
<br />
I agree with Icy, rhus it's not community consensus, and just because it was 2 to 1 doesn't make it community consensus--[[Special:Contributions/174.255.112.29|174.255.112.29]]<br />
<br />
:They are two different things and I think it should be separated to make it more clear. --[[User:Superbender|Superbender]] 19:11, 7 August 2011 (CEST)<br />
<br />
Just because they're different works doesn't mean they get different bullets. They still have the same exact title. Why dont you understand that? A separate bullet causes repetition, something that Icy was trying to prevent. I mean, come on people!--[[Special:Contributions/174.255.112.29|174.255.112.29]]<br />
<br />
: You agree with yourself? How amazing! --'''[[User:Svip|Svip]]'''<sup>[[User talk:Svip|talk]]</sup> 19:21, 7 August 2011 (CEST)<br />
<br />
What are you talking about? You still haven't explained anything about how the separate bullets wouldn't be redundant--[[Special:Contributions/174.255.112.29|174.255.112.29]] 19:31, 7 August 2011 (CEST)<br />
<br />
: I sure have. But also redundancy is not the issue, it was what looks better and is easier to read. If redundancy makes it better, then I am all in favour of redundancy.<br />
: And also, stop treating me like an idiot, I know you are Icyweaner2999. Your commenting and writing style are so similar and you just seem to be continuing the conversation. You are basically evading a block right now. Which is a clear disrespect of our rules. --'''[[User:Svip|Svip]]'''<sup>[[User talk:Svip|talk]]</sup> 19:34, 7 August 2011 (CEST)<br />
<br />
== Joke or Goof? ==<br />
<br />
Not sure if this is an intended joke or goof when the space whale gets harpooned and yanks the ship. Bender is the first person to hit the wall and then disappears behind the other characters piling on the wall. Then Bender hits the last person to pile on the wall.<br />
<br />
== While in the 4th Dimension ==<br />
<br />
The only quote that seems to sound correct backwards is Hermes, while Amy's quote backwards sounds like something possibly being said in Chinese.<br />
<br />
== (Trivia) "When Bender is told that the [[spacebergs]] are giant diamonds, his pupils momentarily become diamond (lozenge) shaped." ==<br />
<br />
Icyweaner2999 - sorry, why exactly have you removed this from the article? [[User:Conradici|Conradici]] 14:45, 9 August 2011 (CEST)<br />
<br />
Because that's not exactly trivia, nor a goof. It's just a joke scene used for comedy. You only added it for the sake of adding it--[[User:Icyweaner2999|Icyweaner2999]] 14:47, 9 August 2011 (CEST)<br />
<br />
:Well, I didn't notice Bender's eyes when I watched the episode. There's no harm in this piece of trivia being in the article. -- [[User:DeepSpaceHomer|DeepSpaceHomer]] 15:15, 9 August 2011 (CEST)<br />
<br />
::But how is it notable exactly? It was blatant, not trivial--[[User:Icyweaner2999|Icyweaner2999]] 15:17, 9 August 2011 (CEST)<br />
<br />
:::I'm not rehashing the notability argument. I'll just say that I think it should have remained, and that you should have brought it up in discussion before removing it unilaterally. -- [[User:DeepSpaceHomer|DeepSpaceHomer]] 16:04, 9 August 2011 (CEST)<br />
<br />
I didn't think the removal was going to be questioned. Are you saying I have to ask permission every time to edit any page I wish to edit? Besides, Bender's irises can change shape, that's already been established. No reason to make it trivia 7 broadcast seasons in--[[User:Icyweaner2999|Icyweaner2999]] 16:07, 9 August 2011 (CEST)<br />
:So it can be put under continuity. It's a relevant fact. And no at no point did I say you need to ask permission before editing. I'm not your boss. But when removing pieces of trivia for reasons like "notability", it's probably better to see what anyone else thinks. -- [[User:DeepSpaceHomer|DeepSpaceHomer]] 16:12, 9 August 2011 (CEST)<br />
<br />
So, we can put a page called "Fry's armpit" and you'd consider it notable? Please, the bullet is not notable at all, and if a lack of notability is not a reason to remove a trivia bullet, then let's bring in everything not related to Futurama into this wiki. It's like putting in "Bender used his robotic abilities again in this episode", something unprofessional, unnotable, and frankly, idiotic. Please, think before you run off your big mouth (something you admitted to) to someone who is just trying to keep the wiki clear of nonsense--[[User:Icyweaner2999|Icyweaner2999]] 16:16, 9 August 2011 (CEST)<br />
<br />
:Wow. You have a temper. I'm not even going to try arguing with insults, so I'll just take my leave to greener pastures. -- [[User:DeepSpaceHomer|DeepSpaceHomer]] 16:23, 9 August 2011 (CEST)<br />
<br />
I'm not even angry. I'm just surprised you'd try to provoke me hours after my release.--[[User:Icyweaner2999|Icyweaner2999]] 16:27, 9 August 2011 (CEST)<br />
<br />
Icy, don't take everything personal. I for one think it ''is'' notable, because it is a fun note that a lot of viewers would miss. Just because someone disagrees with you doesn't mean they "try to provoke" you. - [[User:Aki|aki]]<sup>[[User talk:Aki|talk]]</sup> 16:58, 9 August 2011 (CEST)<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 />

== 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 />

=== 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 turtle!", 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.<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 />
<!-- Act III --><br />

<div>==Episode Title==<br />
Mobius Dick is also a 2004 novel by Andrew Crumey. [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mobius_Dick]<br />
<br />
== Ships in the Graveyard ==<br />
<br />
I love the ships in the Graveyard - but can't identify them all. The BEST obscure ship has to be the last one - from "Josie & the Pussycats in Outer Space"! I also recognize the "Jupiter" from "Lost in Space" - what are some of the others?<br />
<br />
There's also the ELO space-ship used in album art of A New World Record, Out of The Blue, Discovery (Disco-Very)<br />
<br />
There was an Oceanic ship.. I believe it to be a reference to LOST series, a series done by ABC Family. I am not sure, though. :3<br />
<br />
== Blonde guy? ==<br />
<br />
Who were all the other people who came out of the 4D bowel at the end? I recognized Dr. Who but not the other two.<br />
<br />
Ok, 2 theories on the blond guy seen in the 4D bowels of the space whale ( --[[User:Malorkus|Malorkus]] 23:21, 7 August 2011 (CEST) ):<br />
:1. He is actor {{w|Sam Rockwell}}, wearing the flight suit from the movie {{w|Moon_(film)|Moon}} and the hairdo from his role as {{w|Zaphod Beeblebrox}} in {{w|The_Hitchhiker's_Guide_to_the_Galaxy_(film)|The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy}}.<br />
:2. He is {{w|Richard Branson}}, chairman/founder of {{w|Virgin Galactic}} -- space flight pioneer and presumably gone missing in our near future.<br />
<br />
Also of note, the bowels also seemed to contain 3 Russian Cosmonauts (who later emerge from the whale back at Planet Express) and {{w|Amelia Earhart}} (who we never see later outside of the whale). ( --[[User:Malorkus|Malorkus]] 23:21, 7 August 2011 (CEST) )<br />
<br />
== Allusions ==<br />
<br />
"''Möbius Dick'' is also well known in the mathematics community as the answer to a pun-based math riddle: ''What's non-orientable and lives in the ocean?'' and the title of a 2000 {{w|science-fiction}} novel by {{w|Andrew Crumey}}."<br />
<br />
Because they refer to two separate facts, they should have separate bullet points. Not only that, the puzzle solution and the novel don't even have the same titles. "Möbius Dick" (puzzle, with umlaut) and "Mobius Dick" (novel, without). -- [[User:DeepSpaceHomer|DeepSpaceHomer]] 17:06, 5 August 2011 (CEST)<br />
<br />
But they are similar titles, and both bullet points have the same concept, and start out the SAME EXACT WAY. I do not know what your problem is with compound sentences. This is basically what you want<br />
<br />
*I am a bird<br />
*I am a person<br />
<br />
This is what I want<br />
<br />
*I am a bird and a person<br />
Now do you see what I'm trying to do? --[[User:Icyweaner2999|Icyweaner2999]] 17:15, 5 August 2011 (CEST)<br />
:Only one of the above things is "Möbius Dick", the other is not. It's a bit pedantic, yes, but similarity does not equal sameness. Different titles should mean separate facts. -- [[User:DeepSpaceHomer|DeepSpaceHomer]] 17:25, 5 August 2011 (CEST)<br />
<br />
So you're separating it all because of an umlaut? No way--[[User:Icyweaner2999|Icyweaner2999]] 18:58, 5 August 2011 (CEST)<br />
<br />
: Two bullet points make it easier to read than combining them into one. --'''[[User:Svip|Svip]]'''<sup>[[User talk:Svip|talk]]</sup> 19:03, 5 August 2011 (CEST)<br />
<br />
Getting to the point is easier to read than unnecessarily expanding the article because of a single umlaut--[[User:Icyweaner2999|Icyweaner2999]] 19:10, 5 August 2011 (CEST)<br />
<br />
: I am not talking about the umlaut, I am talking about two different allusions might be easier to overlook if they are separated. After all, we are writing a bullet list, not prose. --'''[[User:Svip|Svip]]'''<sup>[[User talk:Svip|talk]]</sup> 19:37, 5 August 2011 (CEST)<br />
<br />
Yes you are talking about the umlaut. It's what literally forced you to make them bulleted separately when the points are the exact same idea--[[User:Icyweaner2999|Icyweaner2999]] 19:52, 5 August 2011 (CEST)<br />
<br />
: Don't go visiting my intentions. I am not talking about the umlaut, I am talking about them being two different works. --'''[[User:Svip|Svip]]'''<sup>[[User talk:Svip|talk]]</sup> 20:05, 5 August 2011 (CEST)<br />
<br />
Just because they're different works doesn't mean they get different bullets--[[User:Icyweaner2999|Icyweaner2999]] 20:15, 5 August 2011 (CEST)<br />
<br />
:The umlaut is only important in the sense that they are different from one another, which is the point I was trying to make originally. They are two separate works, each deserving of it's own line of trivia. -- [[User:DeepSpaceHomer|DeepSpaceHomer]] 20:11, 5 August 2011 (CEST)<br />
<br />
I agree with Icy, rhus it's not community consensus, and just because it was 2 to 1 doesn't make it community consensus--[[Special:Contributions/174.255.112.29|174.255.112.29]]<br />
<br />
:They are two different things and I think it should be separated to make it more clear. --[[User:Superbender|Superbender]] 19:11, 7 August 2011 (CEST)<br />
<br />
Just because they're different works doesn't mean they get different bullets. They still have the same exact title. Why dont you understand that? A separate bullet causes repetition, something that Icy was trying to prevent. I mean, come on people!--[[Special:Contributions/174.255.112.29|174.255.112.29]]<br />
<br />
== Joke or Goof? ==<br />
<br />
Not sure if this is an intended joke or goof when the space whale gets harpooned and yanks the ship. Bender is the first person to hit the wall and then disappears behind the other characters piling on the wall. Then Bender hits the last person to pile on the wall.<br />
<br />
== While in the 4th Dimension ==<br />
<br />
The only quote that seems to sound correct backwards is Hermes, while Amy's quote backwards sounds like something possibly being said in Chinese.<br />
<br />
== (Trivia) "When Bender is told that the [[spacebergs]] are giant diamonds, his pupils momentarily become diamond (lozenge) shaped." ==<br />
<br />
Icyweaner2999 - sorry, why exactly have you removed this from the article? [[User:Conradici|Conradici]] 14:45, 9 August 2011 (CEST)<br />
<br />
Because that's not exactly trivia, nor a goof. It's just a joke scene used for comedy. You only added it for the sake of adding it--[[User:Icyweaner2999|Icyweaner2999]] 14:47, 9 August 2011 (CEST)<br />
<br />
:Well, I didn't notice Bender's eyes when I watched the episode. There's no harm in this piece of trivia being in the article. -- [[User:DeepSpaceHomer|DeepSpaceHomer]] 15:15, 9 August 2011 (CEST)<br />
<br />
::But how is it notable exactly? It was blatant, not trivial--[[User:Icyweaner2999|Icyweaner2999]] 15:17, 9 August 2011 (CEST)<br />
<br />
:::I'm not rehashing the notability argument. I'll just say that I think it should have remained, and that you should have brought it up in discussion before removing it unilaterally. -- [[User:DeepSpaceHomer|DeepSpaceHomer]] 16:04, 9 August 2011 (CEST)<br />
<br />
I didn't think the removal was going to be questioned. Are you saying I have to ask permission every time to edit any page I wish to edit? Besides, Bender's irises can change shape, that's already been established. No reason to make it trivia 7 broadcast seasons in--[[User:Icyweaner2999|Icyweaner2999]] 16:07, 9 August 2011 (CEST)<br />
:So it can be put under continuity. It's a relevant fact. And no at no point did I say you need to ask permission before editing. I'm not your boss. But when removing pieces of trivia for reasons like "notability", it's probably better to see what anyone else thinks. -- [[User:DeepSpaceHomer|DeepSpaceHomer]] 16:12, 9 August 2011 (CEST)<br />
<br />
So, we can put a page called "Fry's armpit" and you'd consider it notable? Please, the bullet is not notable at all, and if a lack of notability is not a reason to remove a trivia bullet, then let's bring in everything not related to Futurama into this wiki. It's like putting in "Bender used his robotic abilities again in this episode", something unprofessional, unnotable, and frankly, idiotic. Please, think before you run off your big mouth (something you admitted to) to someone who is just trying to keep the wiki clear of nonsense--[[User:Icyweaner2999|Icyweaner2999]] 16:16, 9 August 2011 (CEST)<br />
<br />
:Wow. You have a temper. I'm not even going to try arguing with insults, so I'll just take my leave to greener pastures. -- [[User:DeepSpaceHomer|DeepSpaceHomer]] 16:23, 9 August 2011 (CEST)<br />
<br />
I'm not even angry. I'm just surprised you'd try to provoke me hours after my release.--[[User:Icyweaner2999|Icyweaner2999]] 16:27, 9 August 2011 (CEST)<br />
<br />
Icy, don't take everything personal. I for one think it ''is'' notable, because it is a fun note that a lot of viewers would miss. Just because someone disagrees with you doesn't mean they "try to provoke" you. - [[User:Aki|aki]]<sup>[[User talk:Aki|talk]]</sup> 16:58, 9 August 2011 (CEST)<br />
<br />
First, Conradici said to drop the subject, and second, fun doesn't make it notable. And you're also wrong about DSH. If you actually read his comments, you'd see his language was very provoking.--[[User:Icyweaner2999|Icyweaner2999]] 17:00, 9 August 2011 (CEST)<br />
<br />
Icyweaner, you need to relax, he wasn't provoking you, he just disagreed with you. Personally, I think that it can stay in the "Trivia" section --[[User:Superbender|Superbender]] 17:04, 9 August 2011 (CEST)<br />
<br />
Again, why are none of you giving actual reasons? Vandalism is fun to those who do it, does that mean you keep it? Bender's eyes changing shape is a common occurrence that is not trivia-worthy, it's part of his programming. If it wasn't notable before, what makes it notable now?--[[User:Icyweaner2999|Icyweaner2999]] 17:07, 9 August 2011 (CEST)<br />
:I don't recall saying it's never been notable before. Concerning vandalism, it destroys the site and is noteworthy for ''no-one''. This trivia/continuity is fun/interesting for many people, as evident by the opinions expressed in this thread. Third: is this really such a big deal? You're nitpicking. - [[User:Aki|aki]]<sup>[[User talk:Aki|talk]]</sup> 17:17, 9 August 2011 (CEST)<br />
<br />
No, I'm not nitpicking. You just contradicted yourself AGAIN. I on the other hand have been explaining how this piece of trivia is unimportant, and none of you have explained how it is important. It's like saying "Fry continues to have red hair". Is that important? No. It's the same situation with Bender's eyes and greed. The eyes becoming diamond-shaped isn't continuity, it's a part of his personality.--[[User:Icyweaner2999|Icyweaner2999]] 17:25, 9 August 2011 (CEST)</div>Icyweaner2999https://theinfosphere.org/index.php?title=Talk:M%C3%B6bius_Dick&diff=98254Talk:Möbius Dick2011-08-09T15:25:00Z<p>Icyweaner2999: /* (Trivia) "When Bender is told that the spacebergs are giant diamonds, his pupils momentarily become diamond (lozenge) shaped." */</p>

:Only one of the above things is "Möbius Dick", the other is not. It's a bit pedantic, yes, but similarity does not equal sameness. Different titles should mean separate facts. -- [[User:DeepSpaceHomer|DeepSpaceHomer]] 17:25, 5 August 2011 (CEST)<br />
<br />
So you're separating it all because of an umlaut? No way--[[User:Icyweaner2999|Icyweaner2999]] 18:58, 5 August 2011 (CEST)<br />
<br />
: Two bullet points make it easier to read than combining them into one. --'''[[User:Svip|Svip]]'''<sup>[[User talk:Svip|talk]]</sup> 19:03, 5 August 2011 (CEST)<br />
<br />
Getting to the point is easier to read than unnecessarily expanding the article because of a single umlaut--[[User:Icyweaner2999|Icyweaner2999]] 19:10, 5 August 2011 (CEST)<br />
<br />
: I am not talking about the umlaut, I am talking about two different allusions might be easier to overlook if they are separated. After all, we are writing a bullet list, not prose. --'''[[User:Svip|Svip]]'''<sup>[[User talk:Svip|talk]]</sup> 19:37, 5 August 2011 (CEST)<br />
<br />
Yes you are talking about the umlaut. It's what literally forced you to make them bulleted separately when the points are the exact same idea--[[User:Icyweaner2999|Icyweaner2999]] 19:52, 5 August 2011 (CEST)<br />
<br />
: Don't go visiting my intentions. I am not talking about the umlaut, I am talking about them being two different works. --'''[[User:Svip|Svip]]'''<sup>[[User talk:Svip|talk]]</sup> 20:05, 5 August 2011 (CEST)<br />
<br />
Just because they're different works doesn't mean they get different bullets--[[User:Icyweaner2999|Icyweaner2999]] 20:15, 5 August 2011 (CEST)<br />
<br />
:The umlaut is only important in the sense that they are different from one another, which is the point I was trying to make originally. They are two separate works, each deserving of it's own line of trivia. -- [[User:DeepSpaceHomer|DeepSpaceHomer]] 20:11, 5 August 2011 (CEST)<br />
<br />
I agree with Icy, rhus it's not community consensus, and just because it was 2 to 1 doesn't make it community consensus--[[Special:Contributions/174.255.112.29|174.255.112.29]]<br />
<br />
:They are two different things and I think it should be separated to make it more clear. --[[User:Superbender|Superbender]] 19:11, 7 August 2011 (CEST)<br />
<br />
Just because they're different works doesn't mean they get different bullets. They still have the same exact title. Why dont you understand that? A separate bullet causes repetition, something that Icy was trying to prevent. I mean, come on people!--[[Special:Contributions/174.255.112.29|174.255.112.29]]<br />
<br />
: You agree with yourself? How amazing! --'''[[User:Svip|Svip]]'''<sup>[[User talk:Svip|talk]]</sup> 19:21, 7 August 2011 (CEST)<br />
<br />
What are you talking about? You still haven't explained anything about how the separate bullets wouldn't be redundant--[[Special:Contributions/174.255.112.29|174.255.112.29]] 19:31, 7 August 2011 (CEST)<br />
<br />
: I sure have. But also redundancy is not the issue, it was what looks better and is easier to read. If redundancy makes it better, then I am all in favour of redundancy.<br />
: And also, stop treating me like an idiot, I know you are Icyweaner2999. Your commenting and writing style are so similar and you just seem to be continuing the conversation.

== Joke or Goof? ==<br />
<br />
Not sure if this is an intended joke or goof when the space whale gets harpooned and yanks the ship. Bender is the first person to hit the wall and then disappears behind the other characters piling on the wall. Then Bender hits the last person to pile on the wall.<br />
<br />
== While in the 4th Dimension ==<br />
<br />
The only quote that seems to sound correct backwards is Hermes, while Amy's quote backwards sounds like something possibly being said in Chinese.<br />
<br />
== (Trivia) "When Bender is told that the [[spacebergs]] are giant diamonds, his pupils momentarily become diamond (lozenge) shaped." ==<br />
<br />
Icyweaner2999 - sorry, why exactly have you removed this from the article? [[User:Conradici|Conradici]] 14:45, 9 August 2011 (CEST)<br />
<br />
Because that's not exactly trivia, nor a goof. It's just a joke scene used for comedy. You only added it for the sake of adding it--[[User:Icyweaner2999|Icyweaner2999]] 14:47, 9 August 2011 (CEST)<br />
<br />
:Well, I didn't notice Bender's eyes when I watched the episode. There's no harm in this piece of trivia being in the article. -- [[User:DeepSpaceHomer|DeepSpaceHomer]] 15:15, 9 August 2011 (CEST)<br />
<br />
::But how is it notable exactly? It was blatant, not trivial--[[User:Icyweaner2999|Icyweaner2999]] 15:17, 9 August 2011 (CEST)<br />
<br />
:::I'm not rehashing the notability argument. I'll just say that I think it should have remained, and that you should have brought it up in discussion before removing it unilaterally. -- [[User:DeepSpaceHomer|DeepSpaceHomer]] 16:04, 9 August 2011 (CEST)<br />
<br />
I didn't think the removal was going to be questioned. Are you saying I have to ask permission every time to edit any page I wish to edit? Besides, Bender's irises can change shape, that's already been established. No reason to make it trivia 7 broadcast seasons in--[[User:Icyweaner2999|Icyweaner2999]] 16:07, 9 August 2011 (CEST)<br />
:So it can be put under continuity. It's a relevant fact. And no at no point did I say you need to ask permission before editing. I'm not your boss. But when removing pieces of trivia for reasons like "notability", it's probably better to see what anyone else thinks. -- [[User:DeepSpaceHomer|DeepSpaceHomer]] 16:12, 9 August 2011 (CEST)<br />
<br />
So, we can put a page called "Fry's armpit" and you'd consider it notable? Please, the bullet is not notable at all, and if a lack of notability is not a reason to remove a trivia bullet, then let's bring in everything not related to Futurama into this wiki. It's like putting in "Bender used his robotic abilities again in this episode", something unprofessional, unnotable, and frankly, idiotic. Please, think before you run off your big mouth (something you admitted to) to someone who is just trying to keep the wiki clear of nonsense--[[User:Icyweaner2999|Icyweaner2999]] 16:16, 9 August 2011 (CEST)<br />
<br />
:Wow. You have a temper. I'm not even going to try arguing with insults, so I'll just take my leave to greener pastures. -- [[User:DeepSpaceHomer|DeepSpaceHomer]] 16:23, 9 August 2011 (CEST)<br />
<br />
I'm not even angry. I'm just surprised you'd try to provoke me hours after my release.--[[User:Icyweaner2999|Icyweaner2999]] 16:27, 9 August 2011 (CEST)<br />
<br />
Icy, don't take everything personal. I for one think it ''is'' notable, because it is a fun note that a lot of viewers would miss. Just because someone disagrees with you doesn't mean they "try to provoke" you. - [[User:Aki|aki]]<sup>[[User talk:Aki|talk]]</sup> 16:58, 9 August 2011 (CEST)<br />
<br />
First, Conradici said to drop the subject, and second, fun doesn't make it notable. And you're also wrong about DSH. If you actually read his comments, you'd see his language was very provoking.--[[User:Icyweaner2999|Icyweaner2999]] 17:00, 9 August 2011 (CEST)<br />
<br />
Icyweaner, you need to relax, he wasn't provoking you, he just disagreed with you. Personally, I think that it can stay in the "Trivia" section --[[User:Superbender|Superbender]] 17:04, 9 August 2011 (CEST)<br />
<br />
Again, why are none of you giving actual reasons? Vandalism is fun to those who do it, does that mean you keep it? Bender's eyes changing shape is a common occurrence that is not trivia-worthy, it's part of his programming. If it wasn't notable before, what makes it notable now?--[[User:Icyweaner2999|Icyweaner2999]] 17:07, 9 August 2011 (CEST)<br />
:I don't recall saying it's never been notable before. Concerning vandalism, it destroys the site and is noteworthy for ''no-one''. This trivia/continuity is fun/interesting for many people, as evident by the opinions expressed in this thread. Third: is this really such a big deal? You're nitpicking. - [[User:Aki|aki]]<sup>[[User talk:Aki|talk]]</sup> 17:17, 9 August 2011 (CEST)<br />
<br />
No, I'm not nitpicking. You just contradicted yourself AGAIN. I on the other hand have been explaining how this piece of trivia is unimportant, and none of you have explained how it is important. It's like saying "Fry continues to have red hair". Is that important? No. It's the same situation with Bender's eyes and greed. The eyes becoming diamond-shaped isn't continuity, it's a part of his personality.--[[User:Icyweaner2999|Icyweaner2999]] 17:25, 9 August 2011 (CEST)</div>Icyweaner2999https://theinfosphere.org/index.php?title=User_talk:Conradici&diff=98250User talk:Conradici2011-08-09T15:20:50Z<p>Icyweaner2999: /* Look */</p>

<br />
I know you're new, but you really should learn the difference between blatant and trivial. For next time, keep in mind that adding "trivia" for the sake of adding it isn't very helpful--[[User:Icyweaner2999|Icyweaner2999]] 15:26, 9 August 2011 (CEST)<br />
<br />
:Wow. Thanks for that warm welcome. I'm fully aware of the difference between blatant and trivial, thank you very much. As someone pointed out, they hadn't noticed the moment under discussion; I thought the point of the Trivia section was to include interesting things that people might have missed, and I figured this might have been one. I don't know why it's riled you so much - it's only one entry, after all - that you've felt moved to write on my user page. [[User:Conradici|Conradici]] 15:39, 9 August 2011 (CEST)<br />
<br />
:Wow. Thanks for the wonderful first impression. Just because people miss it doesn't mean it's notable. In fact, you just told me you posted it based on speculation. Just because it's one entry doesn't mean it should be there if it's not notable. It's like in "Plankton v. Krabs" when Mr. Krabs's eyes drop gold bars when he realized how cheap the lawyer was. What makes Bender's notable? --[[User:Icyweaner2999|Icyweaner2999]] 15:43, 9 August 2011 (CEST)<br />
<br />
::Seriously, what? I post an item that I thought would fit into the trivia section of the article; maybe it does, maybe it doesn't. As you know, I'm new. You remove the entry, and I - politely - asked you why. The next thing I get is an offensively phrased message on my user page from you. "First impression", indeed. Thanks very much. [[User:Conradici|Conradici]] 15:58, 9 August 2011 (CEST)<br />
<br />
I answered why. Two times. First, in my summary, the second time was on the talkpage. You chose to ignore that, and I politely reminded you about notability in trivia. I carefully worded my message and there is no way it was offensive. Because I tried to be polite, once again, I get sarcasm from somebody who thinks they know everything about the wiki from just 1 trivia edit--[[User:Icyweaner2999|Icyweaner2999]] 16:01, 9 August 2011 (CEST)<br />
<br />
:Ok, this is going nowhere. If you genuinely can't see that going on a newbie's wall, starting a topic/sentence with the word "Look", going on to imply that they are stupid, and finishing off by being patronising, isn't likely to be taken by that person as offensive, then I really have no intention in continuing a conversation with you. I didn't argue with you about your change, but you wrote to me as if I had kicked up some sort of fuss. <br />
:I will think more carefully about any edits I make in the future; perhaps now we can leave it there. [[User:Conradici|Conradici]] 16:19, 9 August 2011 (CEST)<br />
<br />
In no way does that one word imply that you're stupid. It implies analysis and/or favors--[[User:Icyweaner2999|Icyweaner2999]] 16:21, 9 August 2011 (CEST)<br />
<br />
:Eh? Saying "you really should learn the difference between blatant and trivial" is an implication that I'm ignorant. [[User:Conradici|Conradici]] 16:32, 9 August 2011 (CEST)<br />
<br />
:Anyway, can we just drop this now? Thanks. [[User:Conradici|Conradici]] 16:34, 9 August 2011 (CEST)<br />
<br />
Icy, quit being a jerk, particularly towards new users. Conradici, please don't take his act as a representation of how the community is in general. We are overall very nice. - [[User:Aki|aki]]<sup>[[User talk:Aki|talk]]</sup> 16:56, 9 August 2011 (CEST)<br />
<br />
I was trying to be polite. Aki, she said to drop it, and you brought it up again. You don't even respect her wishes, so why should she respect you?--[[User:Icyweaner2999|Icyweaner2999]] 16:58, 9 August 2011 (CEST)<br />
<br />
Actually, I'm a "he". And, thanks Aki, I really appreciate it :) [[User:Conradici|Conradici]] 17:02, 9 August 2011 (CEST)<br />

Oh, so you squash an attempt to explain things nicely, but you praise a bully?--[[User:Icyweaner2999|Icyweaner2999]] 17:04, 9 August 2011 (CEST)<br />
<br />
Sorry, Icyweaner, but the one who has come across as a bully is you. [[User:Conradici|Conradici]] 17:17, 9 August 2011 (CEST)<br />
:Haha, I often see people mistaking a she for a he (I do it too, assuming all Internet geeks are male :p), but mistaking a he for a she is a much more seldom occurrence. Is it the name Conradici that is girllike somehow?<br />
:Icy, I just wanted to make sure that Conradici didn't get the wrong impression of the site. Who is right and who is wrong is less relevant, the main point is that we can discuss these things politely. - [[User:Aki|aki]]<sup>[[User talk:Aki|talk]]</sup> 17:20, 9 August 2011 (CEST)<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 />
'''Lrrr''' is ruler of the planet [[Omicron Persei 8]], a middle-aged [[Omicronian]] man with a bad temper and a soft spot for conquering planets and [[20th century]] [[television]].<br />
<br />
== Personality ==<br />
<br />
Lrrr is a ruthless leader, who often subsides his empire's interest for the sake of his own, such as invading [[Earth]] on the grounds that ''[[Single Female Lawyer]]''{{'}}s series finale was abruptly interrupted by technical difficulties.[[When Aliens Attack|<sup>(1ACV12)</sup>]] While acting as a vicious, dangerous leader of his people, he is in actuality bored with [[Ndnd]]'s constant nagging about having to conquer planets, and prefers lying on his couch watching TV.<br />
<br />
While being a fan of [[20th century]] [[television]], such as ''{{w|Friends}}'', he also has a softer side. He has been divorced and re-married at least once, but his relationship now remains stable with his current wife, [[Ndnd]]. However, despite this, the passion within this relationship has not had sparks since they married, in spite of attempts with [[Human horns|aphrodisiacs]].[[Spanish Fry|<sup>(4ACV17)</sup>]]<br />
<br />
His wife Ndnd cited his former softer side as her original passion for Lrrr, but Lrrr had increasingly become more focused on himself as well as his warfare. It was not until the [[Planet Express]] crew in [[3004]] invited them out to a picnic in the [[Duraflame National Forest]], where during an encounter with [[Bigfoot]] and [[Ranger Park]] realised that Lrrr's hunt for [[Philip J. Fry|Fry]]'s "[[lower horn]]" was a useless attempt to restore the passion in his marriage, and the poetry he spurt out, reignited Ndnd's love for him.<br />
<br />
But Lrrr has also had a less obtainable wish to make [[Lrrr's father|his father]] proud, but after losing the [[Universal Poker Championship]] in [[3009]], his father remained unimpressed with Lrrr's performance.<br />
<br />
[[File:Omicronian Liberty.jpg|thumb|225px|The [[Statue of Liberty]] during the [[Third Omicronian Invasion of Earth]], which Lrrr lead.]]<br />
<br />
== Biography == <br />
<br />
Little is known about Lrrr's past, other than that he has married at least once before marrying [[Ndnd|his current wife]]. He seemingly was much more of a conqueror in his past, his wife wishing him to conquer more planets like he used to. In spite of this, he has attacked [[Earth]] three times in the past few years - when the finale of ''[[Single Female Lawyer]]'' was cancelled[[When Aliens Attack|<sup>(1ACV12)</sup>]], when [[popplers|Omicronian young]] were sold as food on Earth[[The Problem With Popplers|<sup>(2ACV15)</sup>]] and when he wanted to make [[Ndnd]] take him back[[Lrrreconcilable Ndndifferences|<sup>(6ACV11)</sup>]].<br />
<br />
== Additional Info ==<br />
=== Trivia ===<br />
*The first time Lrrr is introduced, the subtitles of the Region 1 DVD spelled his name "Lure".<br />
*Though completely unable to grasp human social interaction, he is nevertheless able to recognise that ''Friends'' episodes can suffer from being "Joey-heavy".<br />
*Lrrr does not like candy Valentine Hearts.<br />
*Lrrr's horns on the top of his head are darker than other Omicronians, possibly to show his royalty.<br />
**Or it could be that the darker horn colour ''is'' why he is royalty.<br />
*A running gag on the show involves Lrrr's trouble with microphones. In "[[When Aliens Attack]]", he says, "Is this thing on?" In "[[The Problem with Popplers]]", his first words are echoed by a television playing his address at the same time and at the end of his address, he is unaware that they are still on camera and inappropriately scratches his ass. In the same episode, a [[popplers|poppler]] named [[Jrrr]] has troubles with his microphone. In "[[Lrrreconcilable Ndndifferences]]", when Lrrr first attempts to speak at [[Comic-Con Intergalactic |Comic-Con 3010]], no one can hear what he is saying at all until [[Randy Munchnik]] raises the mike stand for him.<br />
*Lrrr is a fan of the New Orleans Saints.<br />
*He largely resembles Bowser the Koopa king from Super Mario Bros.<br />
<br />
=== Catchphrase ===<br />
*'''Lrrr''': "I am Lrrr, ruler of the planet [[Omicron Persei 8]]".<br />

<div>==Episode Title==<br />
Mobius Dick is also a 2004 novel by Andrew Crumey. [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mobius_Dick]<br />
<br />
== Ships in the Graveyard ==<br />
<br />
I love the ships in the Graveyard - but can't identify them all. The BEST obscure ship has to be the last one - from "Josie & the Pussycats in Outer Space"! I also recognize the "Jupiter" from "Lost in Space" - what are some of the others?<br />
<br />
There's also the ELO space-ship used in album art of A New World Record, Out of The Blue, Discovery (Disco-Very)<br />
<br />
There was an Oceanic ship.. I believe it to be a reference to LOST series, a series done by ABC Family. I am not sure, though. :3<br />
<br />
== Blonde guy? ==<br />
<br />
Who were all the other people who came out of the 4D bowel at the end? I recognized Dr. Who but not the other two.<br />
<br />
Ok, 2 theories on the blond guy seen in the 4D bowels of the space whale ( --[[User:Malorkus|Malorkus]] 23:21, 7 August 2011 (CEST) ):<br />
:1. He is actor {{w|Sam Rockwell}}, wearing the flight suit from the movie {{w|Moon_(film)|Moon}} and the hairdo from his role as {{w|Zaphod Beeblebrox}} in {{w|The_Hitchhiker's_Guide_to_the_Galaxy_(film)|The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy}}.<br />
:2. He is {{w|Richard Branson}}, chairman/founder of {{w|Virgin Galactic}} -- space flight pioneer and presumably gone missing in our near future.<br />
<br />
Also of note, the bowels also seemed to contain 3 Russian Cosmonauts (who later emerge from the whale back at Planet Express) and {{w|Amelia Earhart}} (who we never see later outside of the whale). ( --[[User:Malorkus|Malorkus]] 23:21, 7 August 2011 (CEST) )<br />
<br />
== Allusions ==<br />
<br />
"''Möbius Dick'' is also well known in the mathematics community as the answer to a pun-based math riddle: ''What's non-orientable and lives in the ocean?'' and the title of a 2000 {{w|science-fiction}} novel by {{w|Andrew Crumey}}."<br />
<br />
Because they refer to two separate facts, they should have separate bullet points. Not only that, the puzzle solution and the novel don't even have the same titles. "Möbius Dick" (puzzle, with umlaut) and "Mobius Dick" (novel, without). -- [[User:DeepSpaceHomer|DeepSpaceHomer]] 17:06, 5 August 2011 (CEST)<br />
<br />
But they are similar titles, and both bullet points have the same concept, and start out the SAME EXACT WAY. I do not know what your problem is with compound sentences. This is basically what you want<br />
<br />
*I am a bird<br />
*I am a person<br />
<br />
This is what I want<br />
<br />
*I am a bird and a person<br />
Now do you see what I'm trying to do? --[[User:Icyweaner2999|Icyweaner2999]] 17:15, 5 August 2011 (CEST)<br />
:Only one of the above things is "Möbius Dick", the other is not. It's a bit pedantic, yes, but similarity does not equal sameness. Different titles should mean separate facts. -- [[User:DeepSpaceHomer|DeepSpaceHomer]] 17:25, 5 August 2011 (CEST)<br />
<br />
So you're separating it all because of an umlaut? No way--[[User:Icyweaner2999|Icyweaner2999]] 18:58, 5 August 2011 (CEST)<br />
<br />
: Two bullet points make it easier to read than combining them into one. --'''[[User:Svip|Svip]]'''<sup>[[User talk:Svip|talk]]</sup> 19:03, 5 August 2011 (CEST)<br />
<br />
Getting to the point is easier to read than unnecessarily expanding the article because of a single umlaut--[[User:Icyweaner2999|Icyweaner2999]] 19:10, 5 August 2011 (CEST)<br />
<br />
: I am not talking about the umlaut, I am talking about two different allusions might be easier to overlook if they are separated. After all, we are writing a bullet list, not prose. --'''[[User:Svip|Svip]]'''<sup>[[User talk:Svip|talk]]</sup> 19:37, 5 August 2011 (CEST)<br />
<br />
Yes you are talking about the umlaut. It's what literally forced you to make them bulleted separately when the points are the exact same idea--[[User:Icyweaner2999|Icyweaner2999]] 19:52, 5 August 2011 (CEST)<br />
<br />
: Don't go visiting my intentions. I am not talking about the umlaut, I am talking about them being two different works. --'''[[User:Svip|Svip]]'''<sup>[[User talk:Svip|talk]]</sup> 20:05, 5 August 2011 (CEST)<br />
<br />
Just because they're different works doesn't mean they get different bullets--[[User:Icyweaner2999|Icyweaner2999]] 20:15, 5 August 2011 (CEST)<br />
<br />
:The umlaut is only important in the sense that they are different from one another, which is the point I was trying to make originally. They are two separate works, each deserving of it's own line of trivia. -- [[User:DeepSpaceHomer|DeepSpaceHomer]] 20:11, 5 August 2011 (CEST)<br />
<br />
I agree with Icy, rhus it's not community consensus, and just because it was 2 to 1 doesn't make it community consensus--[[Special:Contributions/174.255.112.29|174.255.112.29]]<br />
<br />
:They are two different things and I think it should be separated to make it more clear. --[[User:Superbender|Superbender]] 19:11, 7 August 2011 (CEST)<br />
<br />
Just because they're different works doesn't mean they get different bullets. They still have the same exact title. Why dont you understand that? A separate bullet causes repetition, something that Icy was trying to prevent. I mean, come on people!--[[Special:Contributions/174.255.112.29|174.255.112.29]]<br />
<br />
== Joke or Goof? ==<br />
<br />
Not sure if this is an intended joke or goof when the space whale gets harpooned and yanks the ship. Bender is the first person to hit the wall and then disappears behind the other characters piling on the wall. Then Bender hits the last person to pile on the wall.<br />
<br />
== While in the 4th Dimension ==<br />
<br />
The only quote that seems to sound correct backwards is Hermes, while Amy's quote backwards sounds like something possibly being said in Chinese.<br />
<br />
== (Trivia) "When Bender is told that the [[spacebergs]] are giant diamonds, his pupils momentarily become diamond (lozenge) shaped." ==<br />
<br />
Icyweaner2999 - sorry, why exactly have you removed this from the article? [[User:Conradici|Conradici]] 14:45, 9 August 2011 (CEST)<br />
<br />
Because that's not exactly trivia, nor a goof. It's just a joke scene used for comedy. You only added it for the sake of adding it--[[User:Icyweaner2999|Icyweaner2999]] 14:47, 9 August 2011 (CEST)<br />
<br />
:Well, I didn't notice Bender's eyes when I watched the episode. There's no harm in this piece of trivia being in the article. -- [[User:DeepSpaceHomer|DeepSpaceHomer]] 15:15, 9 August 2011 (CEST)<br />
<br />
::But how is it notable exactly? It was blatant, not trivial--[[User:Icyweaner2999|Icyweaner2999]] 15:17, 9 August 2011 (CEST)<br />
<br />
:::I'm not rehashing the notability argument. I'll just say that I think it should have remained, and that you should have brought it up in discussion before removing it unilaterally. -- [[User:DeepSpaceHomer|DeepSpaceHomer]] 16:04, 9 August 2011 (CEST)<br />
<br />
I didn't think the removal was going to be questioned. Are you saying I have to ask permission every time to edit any page I wish to edit? Besides, Bender's irises can change shape, that's already been established. No reason to make it trivia 7 broadcast seasons in--[[User:Icyweaner2999|Icyweaner2999]] 16:07, 9 August 2011 (CEST)<br />
:So it can be put under continuity. It's a relevant fact. And no at no point did I say you need to ask permission before editing. I'm not your boss. But when removing pieces of trivia for reasons like "notability", it's probably better to see what anyone else thinks. -- [[User:DeepSpaceHomer|DeepSpaceHomer]] 16:12, 9 August 2011 (CEST)<br />
<br />
So, we can put a page called "Fry's armpit" and you'd consider it notable? Please, the bullet is not notable at all, and if a lack of notability is not a reason to remove a trivia bullet, then let's bring in everything not related to Futurama into this wiki. It's like putting in "Bender used his robotic abilities again in this episode", something unprofessional, unnotable, and frankly, idiotic. Please, think before you run off your big mouth (something you admitted to) to someone who is just trying to keep the wiki clear of nonsense--[[User:Icyweaner2999|Icyweaner2999]] 16:16, 9 August 2011 (CEST)<br />
<br />
:Wow. You have a temper. I'm not even going to try arguing with insults, so I'll just take my leave to greener pastures. -- [[User:DeepSpaceHomer|DeepSpaceHomer]] 16:23, 9 August 2011 (CEST)<br />
<br />
I'm not even angry. I'm just surprised you'd try to provoke me hours after my release.--[[User:Icyweaner2999|Icyweaner2999]] 16:27, 9 August 2011 (CEST)<br />
<br />
Icy, don't take everything personal. I for one think it ''is'' notable, because it is a fun note that a lot of viewers would miss. Just because someone disagrees with you doesn't mean they "try to provoke" you. - [[User:Aki|aki]]<sup>[[User talk:Aki|talk]]</sup> 16:58, 9 August 2011 (CEST)<br />
<br />
First, Conradici said to drop the subject, and second, fun doesn't make it notable. And you're also wrong about DSH. If you actually read his comments, you'd see his language was very provoking.--[[User:Icyweaner2999|Icyweaner2999]] 17:00, 9 August 2011 (CEST)<br />
<br />
Icyweaner, you need to relax, he wasn't provoking you, he just disagreed with you. Personally, I think that it can stay in the "Trivia" section --[[User:Superbender|Superbender]] 17:04, 9 August 2011 (CEST)<br />
<br />
Again, why are none of you giving actual reasons? Vandalism is fun to those who do it, does that mean you keep it? Bender's eyes changing shape is a common occurrence that is not trivia-worthy, it's part of his programming. If it wasn't notable before, what makes it notable now?--[[User:Icyweaner2999|Icyweaner2999]] 17:07, 9 August 2011 (CEST)</div>Icyweaner2999https://theinfosphere.org/index.php?title=User_talk:Conradici&diff=98238User talk:Conradici2011-08-09T15:04:46Z<p>Icyweaner2999: /* Look */</p>

== Look ==<br />
<br />
I know you're new, but you really should learn the difference between blatant and trivial. For next time, keep in mind that adding "trivia" for the sake of adding it isn't very helpful--[[User:Icyweaner2999|Icyweaner2999]] 15:26, 9 August 2011 (CEST)<br />
<br />
:Wow. Thanks for that warm welcome. I'm fully aware of the difference between blatant and trivial, thank you very much. As someone pointed out, they hadn't noticed the moment under discussion; I thought the point of the Trivia section was to include interesting things that people might have missed, and I figured this might have been one. I don't know why it's riled you so much - it's only one entry, after all - that you've felt moved to write on my user page. [[User:Conradici|Conradici]] 15:39, 9 August 2011 (CEST)<br />
<br />
:Wow. Thanks for the wonderful first impression. Just because people miss it doesn't mean it's notable. In fact, you just told me you posted it based on speculation. Just because it's one entry doesn't mean it should be there if it's not notable. It's like in "Plankton v. Krabs" when Mr. Krabs's eyes drop gold bars when he realized how cheap the lawyer was. What makes Bender's notable? --[[User:Icyweaner2999|Icyweaner2999]] 15:43, 9 August 2011 (CEST)<br />
<br />
::Seriously, what? I post an item that I thought would fit into the trivia section of the article; maybe it does, maybe it doesn't. As you know, I'm new. You remove the entry, and I - politely - asked you why. The next thing I get is an offensively phrased message on my user page from you. "First impression", indeed. Thanks very much. [[User:Conradici|Conradici]] 15:58, 9 August 2011 (CEST)<br />
<br />
I answered why. Two times. First, in my summary, the second time was on the talkpage. You chose to ignore that, and I politely reminded you about notability in trivia. I carefully worded my message and there is no way it was offensive. Because I tried to be polite, once again, I get sarcasm from somebody who thinks they know everything about the wiki from just 1 trivia edit--[[User:Icyweaner2999|Icyweaner2999]] 16:01, 9 August 2011 (CEST)<br />
<br />
:Ok, this is going nowhere. If you genuinely can't see that going on a newbie's wall, starting a topic/sentence with the word "Look", going on to imply that they are stupid, and finishing off by being patronising, isn't likely to be taken by that person as offensive, then I really have no intention in continuing a conversation with you. I didn't argue with you about your change, but you wrote to me as if I had kicked up some sort of fuss. <br />
:I will think more carefully about any edits I make in the future; perhaps now we can leave it there. [[User:Conradici|Conradici]] 16:19, 9 August 2011 (CEST)<br />
<br />
In no way does that one word imply that you're stupid. It implies analysis and/or favors--[[User:Icyweaner2999|Icyweaner2999]] 16:21, 9 August 2011 (CEST)<br />
<br />
:Eh? Saying "you really should learn the difference between blatant and trivial" is an implication that I'm ignorant. [[User:Conradici|Conradici]] 16:32, 9 August 2011 (CEST)<br />
<br />
:Anyway, can we just drop this now? Thanks. [[User:Conradici|Conradici]] 16:34, 9 August 2011 (CEST)<br />
<br />
Icy, quit being a jerk, particularly towards new users. Conradici, please don't take his act as a representation of how the community is in general. We are overall very nice. - [[User:Aki|aki]]<sup>[[User talk:Aki|talk]]</sup> 16:56, 9 August 2011 (CEST)<br />
<br />
I was trying to be polite. Aki, she said to drop it, and you brought it up again. You don't even respect her wishes, so why should she respect you?--[[User:Icyweaner2999|Icyweaner2999]] 16:58, 9 August 2011 (CEST)<br />
<br />
Actually, I'm a "he". And, thanks Aki, I really appreciate it :) [[User:Conradici|Conradici]] 17:02, 9 August 2011 (CEST)<br />

==Working together==<br />
Hi Buddy13. At the [http://futurama.wikia.com/ Futurama Wikia], we now have 511 articles, and you have 565 here. It's great to see so many people working on this content, but I'm wondering if it would be better to combine forces and merge these two projects. After all, 1076 articles would be better! What do you think? Could a merger work? [[User:Angela|Angela]] 21:39, 3 February 2008 (PST)<br />
:I think I speak for most of us, when I say that we wouldn't exactly like the project to continue on Wikia. But rather have it continuing here (as an off Wikia wiki), personally, I consider Wikia as the geocities of Wikis. It is filled with ads, etc. And it does not keep in style with well known wikis such as Wikipedia. So if you were to move all the content over here, and "close" down the wiki on Wikia and rather link to here, then sure. But I have a hint that this may not occur. Also, you may claim you have 511 articles, but most of our articles are much longer than yours. --'''[[User:Svip|Svip]]'''<sup>[[User talk:Svip|Talk]]</sup> 04:15, 4 February 2008 (PST)<br />
::Hi Svip. I'm sorry you think Wikia is full of ads. If you log in, there are no ads, and even for non-logged in users, there's just one ad in the top right corner when using the default skin. The wikipedia (monobook) skin is available as an option. See [http://inside.wikia.com/?useskin=monobook this example] if you prefer that style. If that changes your mind, the offer of a merger with Wikia is always open. [[User:Angela|Angela]] 18:32, 6 February 2008 (PST)<br />
:::I agree with Svip. I don't see such a thing happening unless we suffer a massive cash flow problem. Right now I'd say the benefit of a merge would be minimal to us. Also, with the two wikis covering the same topics the maths is closer to 511 + 565 <= 600 and a lot of headache for those merging articles. - [[User:Quolnok|Quolnok]] 20:29, 6 February 2008 (PST)<br />
:As the others before me have said, we're not likely to migrate to a wikia page. I appreciate your offer, though, and we always welcome people here. The benefits of migrating here are that the site is wholly owned by me, and totally paid out of my pocket (unless people donate ;), so there are literally zero ads (and there never will be). And this also gives us the freedom to do nearly anything we want with the wiki, including extensions and the like (I don't know if wikia allows extensions, so I may be off on that point). Merging articles from such disparate styles would indeed be tedious, but I'm sure we could work it out if combining forces was agreed upon. I've not personally been to the wikia wiki in a long while, so I don't even know how things look over there. But, as Quolnok said, since most of our articles are on the same thing, it wouldn't give either of us a thousand articles, but rather some lower number. My only concern is stolen text/images. If we do not merge, I hope that we can continue to respect each others' members by not copy/pasting text or images from the other's wiki. Please consider joining us here at the Infosphere. :D --[[User:Buddy13|Buddy]] 13:23, 7 February 2008 (PST)<br />

==Adding collaborative videos to your Wiki==<br />
Hello,<br />
<br />
My name is Avigail Perl and I work with all our Wiki partners here at Kaltura.<br />
<br />
As you may have heard, through a partnership with the Wikimedia Foundation, Kaltura has developed a collaborative video extension to the MediaWiki software. (http://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Collaborative_Video) <br />
<br />
What this means is that ANY site using MediaWiki software can add the Kaltura collaborative video extension to its wiki easily and quickly today, by adding the software extension that is available for download. <br />
<br />
Looking at your Wiki I thought you might be interested in adding our new collaborative video extension. With this capability, any of your users can add images, videos and sounds to the collaborative videos created, or edit them using the full-featured online video editor (with full history and versioning similar to the text-wiki). <br />
<br />
In order to add this collaborative video extension to you site, all you need to do is:<br />
<br />
1. Apply for a Partner ID here: http://www.kaltura.com/index.php/cms/signup<br />
<br />
2. Download the Kaltura MediaWiki extension here: sourceforge.net/projects/kaltura/<br />
<br />
3. Add the extension to your site<br />
<br />
I’d love to discuss this in more detail, answer any questions and help move this forward. <br />
<br />
Thank you,<br />
<br />
Avigail<br />
:A. Stick to the format of making comments here, please. B. I do not think we are really in grave need of such an extension, we rarely apply videos or feel the need to do so for our content. Since most of the content we describe is protected by copyright laws, etc., we wish to avoid getting in any trouble with any of the companies who own these rights, I think so far I'd say no. --'''[[User:Svip|Svip]]'''<sup>[[User talk:Svip|Talk]]</sup> 02:25, 11 February 2008 (PST)<br />
::Agreed, I don't think videos are really necessary on the Infosphere, since the only thing we'd be showing videos of would be Futurama, which would just get us in trouble (Fox is known for copyright crackdowns), but thanks anyway. :D --[[User:Buddy13|Buddy]] 07:56, 11 February 2008 (PST)<br />
<br />
== License discussion! ==<br />
<br />
I have a discussion which I'd very much like you to participate in. It is over at the [[Infosphere:Conference Table#Change our license?|Conference Table]]. Go man, go! --'''[[User:Svip|Svip]]'''<sup>[[User talk:Svip|Talk]]</sup> 11:10, 7 June 2008 (PDT)<br />

what do you think about the collectors' items included in the new dvd? i think they're AWESOME! - [[User:Wilkos|Wilkos]] 23:08, 28 February 2009 (UTC)<br />
:You mean the little postcards? Yeah, they're nice. I'll never mail them to anyone, though&mdash;I'd rather just keep them nice and pretty. And the nude volleyball is the same as the one that came with BBS. Or very similar. I'll never be able to afford the actual prints, though. One of them was almost $500 (USD).<br />

:Well, all "build your own" figures are a little tough, because the joints are made to just barely fit, and then they paint over them, making them just a micron or two too large.

== Your Moves ==<br />
<br />
1) NOBODY Agreed to move it to Susan except you. <br />
<br />
2) You didn't wait for an answer<br />
<br />
3) You did not cite any transcript as your source to justify the move<br />
<br />
4) Any attempt to move from Susan Boil may result in a block, as discussed by the admins--[[User:Icyweaner2999|Icyweaner2999]] 03:20, 7 August 2011 (CEST)<br />
<br />
:What are you, retarded? I am an admin. Now let us see your points:<br />
1) It wasn't moved to Susan originally by me, but by Quolnok, one of the most high-ranking admins here. I was simply moving it back, after you moved it without waiting for anyone to agree or even ask.<br />
<br />
2) You not only didn't wait for an answer, you didn't even ask. You moved it to a location that was incorrect, claimed it was based on something Leela said, but couldn't be bothered to check the transcript to see if you were correct. Which you weren't.<br />
<br />
3) Nor did you.<br />
<br />
4) See above.<br />
<br />
:But have fun trying to get me blocked for correcting your mistakes. --[[User:Buddy13|Buddy]] 03:27, 7 August 2011 (CEST)<br />
<br />
Oh, so because you're an admin you get to do whatever you want, including call people retarded? How mature of you, so worthy of administrative power. Nobody agreed with Quolnok, nobody agreed with you. Thus, it was moved back to the original article name, Susan BOIL. Just because you are an admin doesn't mean you're above the rules.--[[User:Icyweaner2999|Icyweaner2999]] 03:34, 7 August 2011 (CEST)<br />
:No, I don't do whatever I want. I use my brain. You moved something to a WRONG location without a reason, then give someone else crap for doing (what you perceived as) the same thing. THEN you threaten to get that user blocked without even bothering to check with whom you're speaking. The article was created at "Susan Boil" incorrectly, as that name is never given. On the talk page (which is where such things should be discussed, instead of doing whatever you want unilaterally) I suggested it be moved to "Susan the boil" -- Which Quolnok then did. I could have moved it, yes, but I felt that others should have input into the decision. Then you came along and decided to move it back to "Susan Boil" without consulting anyone (or apparently bothering to check the talk page or the transcript, which you claim to have based your decision upon). Quolnok then moved it to "Susan" which is still more factually accurate than yours. You moved it again back to "Susan Boil" thus initiating a move war with two admins. I saw what was hapenning, attempted to fix it by moving it to "Susan the boil" -- before I noticed Quolnok's move to "Susan" -- a mistake I then attempted to fix by moving it again to "Susan". By all means, continue this conversation if you wish. Explain why it's okay for you to move things around without asking, and why you jump on anyone else who does the same thing. --[[User:Buddy13|Buddy]] 03:44, 7 August 2011 (CEST)<br />
<br />
So, this justifies calling people retarded? I provided my sources, you didn't. Clearly, a non-specified transcript is unreliable, especially when posted on a wiki. The transcript has been on the site for over 13 months. It wasn't an error then, was it? Susan Boil is where it will stay, as indicated by Matt, the higher power.03:55, 7 August 2011 (CEST)<br />
:I just thought it was cute that you invoked an authority you don't have, and claimed that a move would result in a block, as discussed by admins. Where, exactly, was this discussed in a way that involved you? And you're still not citing sources. I have stated that the transcript does not contain the phrase. The transcript is easily found on the proper page [[Transcript:Attack_of_the_Killer_App|here]]. And you keep claiming your actions are based on information that does not exist. Show me where Leela used the phrase. Show me where Matt said officially that her name was Susan Boil. --[[User:Buddy13|Buddy]] 04:08, 7 August 2011 (CEST)<br />
<br />
So, more disrespect, huh? You provided a redlink, and still have not justified calling me retarded. You could've easily edited the transcript, If it exists, in your favor. Last time i checked, power abuse is a blockable offense. You had no right to call me retarded, or my confronting of your little game as cute --[[User:Icyweaner2999|Icyweaner2999]] 04:18, 7 August 2011 (CEST)<br />
:The redlink has been corrected (forgot the pipe). And any idiot can check the edit history of the transcript and see that I have never once touched it. Can you explain to me exactly what part of my actions you'd consider a "game"? The part where an admin moved something from where you want it based on false information? Or the part where you adamantly put it back, again based on false information? Or the part where a second admin (me) tried to correct the error? There has not been one example of power abuse. Show me where. I know the rules; I wrote most of them. Which is why I know to ask before moving something to somewhere it's already been moved from. I owe you no respect, as you have shown none by defying an admin's move (Quolnok's), and then doing a second time (mine). If you want respect, try showing some. You are not all-knowing, and people who disagree with you aren't automatically wrong. --[[User:Buddy13|Buddy]] 04:28, 7 August 2011 (CEST)<br />
::[[Transcript:Attack of the Killer App|Transcript]]. I re-watched the episode on both occasions that ''I'' moved it. Did you ever? She is never called Susan Boil in the episode as you claimed. If you can find a source that has her name as "Susan Boil", an official source such as a quote in an interview or a commentary, then it can stay there. Your current reference has been proven to be miss-remembered. If you can't find anything, it goes back. Personally, I think her name is probably "Turanga Susan", but this hasn't been mentioned anywhere either. I'm posting this over at the appropriate talk page too. - [[User:Quolnok|Quolnok]] 04:39, 7 August 2011 (CEST)<br />
<br />
Quolnok, that's only as you claim, so you still haveno source. You haveprovided no actual proof. Now, Buddy I tried to respect you, until you called me a retard. You know the game you're playing, it's called How to Abuse Power and Get Away With It. Neither of you provided viable sources, so, as any user would, I moved it back to the original name. I at least am following the rules. Since you wrote the rules, everyone would expect you to be its best follower. What bad expectations we had.--[[User:Icyweaner2999|Icyweaner2999]] 04:47, 7 August 2011 (CEST)<br />
:What? Where's ''your'' damn source? You are the one who wants to move it to the WRONG name. Provide a reason. This is NOT wikipedia. We reached consensus (without you, which is the part that pisses you off) and moved it to a name that made more sense. There is nothing in the rules that states every move has to be run by you. I don't know what part of the rules you think we broke, other than moving something without your permission. I see that you have been cited for unnecessary hostility before. And for making edits without good reason (or even expressly ''against'' reason). You wanna see abuse of power? Watch this. --[[User:Buddy13|Buddy]] 04:53, 7 August 2011 (CEST)<br />
<br />
Via email from [[User:Icyweaner2999|Icyweaner2999]]:<br />
<blockquote>I knew exactly you were going to do that. I confront you about your bad behavior, claim I'm harassing you without any evidence, just like what started the conversation. You have not won, and the fact that you blocked me using false reasons only hurts you. I request to be unblocked. You do realize that the previous hostility was corrected by an unblock within an hour because they realized I had good intentions, right? Same situation here</blockquote><br />
:The block is for one day; I think you can wait it out. I would say I hope you learn from it, but you won't. And you still never said what exactly was my bad behavior, other than moving a page in a way you disagreed with (and you argued based on wrong information). Not continuing this conversation. --[[User:Buddy13|Buddy]] 05:11, 7 August 2011 (CEST)<br />
<br />
Fine, I'll continue. Whatever.<br />
<blockquote>[[User:Icyweaner2999|Icyweaner2999]]: You treated me with no respect when I was only trying to politely point out what you did wrong by moving the page. You still think you can't be punished for calling me a retard, which you had no right to do. So, that's why I should be unblocked, because YOU were behaving unbecoming of am admin and disrespecting other users</blockquote><br />
:There was nothing polite about threatening me with banning (an authority you do not have, so I'm curious how you planned to follow through on this threat). I was disrespectful in response to your vague threat to try to get "the admins" to block me. You are a bully, threatening people you don't agree with, and you're upset that you used your techniques on the wrong person. I called you retarded because all four of your points were not just wrong, but could easily have been corrected yourself, had you taken the time to check a couple things before making an ass of yourself. Perhaps I made a poor choice in words, but I will not apologize for them, because I still believe in what I said (which actually was a question of your mental competency, not name-calling). I didn't ''call'' you retarded, I ''asked'' if you were retarded. A fine distinction, I know. Point is: You're a hypocrite and kind of a jerk. You did something without reason, and then got pissed when people undid it, demanding to know what ''their'' justification was. You seem to hold a double standard, where your actions are beyond reproach, and everyone else must answer to you. This is incorrect. --[[User:Buddy13|Buddy]] 05:35, 7 August 2011 (CEST)<br />
::Perhaps now would be a good time for Icy to find that source and re-watch the episode. - [[User:Quolnok|Quolnok]] 05:39, 7 August 2011 (CEST)<br />
<br />
Well apparently I'm not allowed to post "private" emails. I will respect this wish, because in terms of copyright, you do indeed own your own words and have a say in where and how and whether they are published. But I will draw attention to this one last thing: "...unblock me before Svip does." In other words, I'd better unblock you before you attempt to go over my head and get someone else to unblock you? It's a 24-hour block. Suck it up. You are an unrepentant confrontational jerk with a sense of entitlement and a refusal to ever explain your actions while demanding the same of others, and I doubt anyone will question my insignificant act of punishment upon you. I have NEVER had a hostile conflict with anyone here, yet you seem to have done so with nearly every active user. --[[User:Buddy13|Buddy]] 06:23, 7 August 2011 (CEST)<br />

=== Break ===<br />
<br />
After Icyweaner2999 was unable to see why people had a problem with his behaviour, I at first just gave up on him, but since he clearly evaded his block, I decided to give him an infinite block. I consider block evasions of an especially high lack of respect and moreover, claiming at the same time to be another person when he was so obviously not. See [[Talk:Möbius Dick]]. --'''[[User:Svip|Svip]]'''<sup>[[User talk:Svip|talk]]</sup> 10:25, 8 August 2011 (CEST)<br />
:Yeah, I started seeing suspicious edits almost right away, but I wasn't sure it was him until that part where an anonymous IP took up his part of that argument. Clearly the same person. --[[User:Buddy13|Buddy]] 10:37, 8 August 2011 (CEST)<br />

Icy has now e-mailed me trying to get me on his side. Sigh. - [[User:Aki|aki]]<sup>[[User talk:Aki|talk]]</sup> 17:57, 8 August 2011 (CEST)<br />
<br />
:I agree that probably 90% of his edits were good-faith edits, and he was knowledgeable. The problem was that things had to be presented in a way he agreed with, or he'd make sweeping changes without discussing it with anyone (other than to complain when people undid his changes). He frequently removed large chunks of information without a single reason given in the edit summary (or, in at least one case, something to the effect of "I didn't like it that way"). The sad part is he did this to himself. I sent him to his room for five minutes. He couldn't just wait it out and take a lesson from it. He had to tie his sheets together and climb out the window. And he wasn't sneaky about it, he got caught, and now he's been sent to his room forever. --[[User:Buddy13|Buddy]] 21:52, 8 August 2011 (CEST)<br />

<div>==Episode Title==<br />
Mobius Dick is also a 2004 novel by Andrew Crumey. [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mobius_Dick]<br />
<br />
== Ships in the Graveyard ==<br />
<br />
I love the ships in the Graveyard - but can't identify them all. The BEST obscure ship has to be the last one - from "Josie & the Pussycats in Outer Space"! I also recognize the "Jupiter" from "Lost in Space" - what are some of the others?<br />
<br />
There's also the ELO space-ship used in album art of A New World Record, Out of The Blue, Discovery (Disco-Very)<br />
<br />
There was an Oceanic ship.. I believe it to be a reference to LOST series, a series done by ABC Family. I am not sure, though. :3<br />
<br />
== Blonde guy? ==<br />
<br />
Who were all the other people who came out of the 4D bowel at the end? I recognized Dr. Who but not the other two.<br />
<br />
Ok, 2 theories on the blond guy seen in the 4D bowels of the space whale ( --[[User:Malorkus|Malorkus]] 23:21, 7 August 2011 (CEST) ):<br />
:1. He is actor {{w|Sam Rockwell}}, wearing the flight suit from the movie {{w|Moon_(film)|Moon}} and the hairdo from his role as {{w|Zaphod Beeblebrox}} in {{w|The_Hitchhiker's_Guide_to_the_Galaxy_(film)|The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy}}.<br />
:2. He is {{w|Richard Branson}}, chairman/founder of {{w|Virgin Galactic}} -- space flight pioneer and presumably gone missing in our near future.<br />
<br />
Also of note, the bowels also seemed to contain 3 Russian Cosmonauts (who later emerge from the whale back at Planet Express) and {{w|Amelia Earhart}} (who we never see later outside of the whale). ( --[[User:Malorkus|Malorkus]] 23:21, 7 August 2011 (CEST) )<br />
<br />
== Allusions ==<br />
<br />
"''Möbius Dick'' is also well known in the mathematics community as the answer to a pun-based math riddle: ''What's non-orientable and lives in the ocean?'' and the title of a 2000 {{w|science-fiction}} novel by {{w|Andrew Crumey}}."<br />
<br />
Because they refer to two separate facts, they should have separate bullet points. Not only that, the puzzle solution and the novel don't even have the same titles. "Möbius Dick" (puzzle, with umlaut) and "Mobius Dick" (novel, without). -- [[User:DeepSpaceHomer|DeepSpaceHomer]] 17:06, 5 August 2011 (CEST)<br />
<br />
But they are similar titles, and both bullet points have the same concept, and start out the SAME EXACT WAY. I do not know what your problem is with compound sentences. This is basically what you want<br />
<br />
*I am a bird<br />
*I am a person<br />
<br />
This is what I want<br />
<br />
*I am a bird and a person<br />
Now do you see what I'm trying to do? --[[User:Icyweaner2999|Icyweaner2999]] 17:15, 5 August 2011 (CEST)<br />
:Only one of the above things is "Möbius Dick", the other is not. It's a bit pedantic, yes, but similarity does not equal sameness. Different titles should mean separate facts. -- [[User:DeepSpaceHomer|DeepSpaceHomer]] 17:25, 5 August 2011 (CEST)<br />
<br />
So you're separating it all because of an umlaut? No way--[[User:Icyweaner2999|Icyweaner2999]] 18:58, 5 August 2011 (CEST)<br />
<br />
: Two bullet points make it easier to read than combining them into one. --'''[[User:Svip|Svip]]'''<sup>[[User talk:Svip|talk]]</sup> 19:03, 5 August 2011 (CEST)<br />
<br />
Getting to the point is easier to read than unnecessarily expanding the article because of a single umlaut--[[User:Icyweaner2999|Icyweaner2999]] 19:10, 5 August 2011 (CEST)<br />
<br />
: I am not talking about the umlaut, I am talking about two different allusions might be easier to overlook if they are separated. After all, we are writing a bullet list, not prose. --'''[[User:Svip|Svip]]'''<sup>[[User talk:Svip|talk]]</sup> 19:37, 5 August 2011 (CEST)<br />
<br />
Yes you are talking about the umlaut. It's what literally forced you to make them bulleted separately when the points are the exact same idea--[[User:Icyweaner2999|Icyweaner2999]] 19:52, 5 August 2011 (CEST)<br />
<br />
: Don't go visiting my intentions. I am not talking about the umlaut, I am talking about them being two different works. --'''[[User:Svip|Svip]]'''<sup>[[User talk:Svip|talk]]</sup> 20:05, 5 August 2011 (CEST)<br />
<br />
Just because they're different works doesn't mean they get different bullets--[[User:Icyweaner2999|Icyweaner2999]] 20:15, 5 August 2011 (CEST)<br />
<br />
:The umlaut is only important in the sense that they are different from one another, which is the point I was trying to make originally. They are two separate works, each deserving of it's own line of trivia. -- [[User:DeepSpaceHomer|DeepSpaceHomer]] 20:11, 5 August 2011 (CEST)<br />
<br />
I agree with Icy, rhus it's not community consensus, and just because it was 2 to 1 doesn't make it community consensus--[[Special:Contributions/174.255.112.29|174.255.112.29]]<br />
<br />
:They are two different things and I think it should be separated to make it more clear. --[[User:Superbender|Superbender]] 19:11, 7 August 2011 (CEST)<br />
<br />
Just because they're different works doesn't mean they get different bullets. They still have the same exact title. Why dont you understand that? A separate bullet causes repetition, something that Icy was trying to prevent. I mean, come on people!--[[Special:Contributions/174.255.112.29|174.255.112.29]]<br />
<br />
== Joke or Goof? ==<br />
<br />
Not sure if this is an intended joke or goof when the space whale gets harpooned and yanks the ship. Bender is the first person to hit the wall and then disappears behind the other characters piling on the wall. Then Bender hits the last person to pile on the wall.<br />
<br />
== While in the 4th Dimension ==<br />
<br />
The only quote that seems to sound correct backwards is Hermes, while Amy's quote backwards sounds like something possibly being said in Chinese.<br />
<br />
== (Trivia) "When Bender is told that the [[spacebergs]] are giant diamonds, his pupils momentarily become diamond (lozenge) shaped." ==<br />
<br />
Icyweaner2999 - sorry, why exactly have you removed this from the article? [[User:Conradici|Conradici]] 14:45, 9 August 2011 (CEST)<br />
<br />
Because that's not exactly trivia, nor a goof. It's just a joke scene used for comedy. You only added it for the sake of adding it--[[User:Icyweaner2999|Icyweaner2999]] 14:47, 9 August 2011 (CEST)<br />
<br />
:Well, I didn't notice Bender's eyes when I watched the episode. There's no harm in this piece of trivia being in the article. -- [[User:DeepSpaceHomer|DeepSpaceHomer]] 15:15, 9 August 2011 (CEST)<br />
<br />
::But how is it notable exactly? It was blatant, not trivial--[[User:Icyweaner2999|Icyweaner2999]] 15:17, 9 August 2011 (CEST)<br />
<br />
:::I'm not rehashing the notability argument. I'll just say that I think it should have remained, and that you should have brought it up in discussion before removing it unilaterally. -- [[User:DeepSpaceHomer|DeepSpaceHomer]] 16:04, 9 August 2011 (CEST)<br />
<br />
I didn't think the removal was going to be questioned. Are you saying I have to ask permission every time to edit any page I wish to edit? Besides, Bender's irises can change shape, that's already been established. No reason to make it trivia 7 broadcast seasons in--[[User:Icyweaner2999|Icyweaner2999]] 16:07, 9 August 2011 (CEST)<br />
:So it can be put under continuity. It's a relevant fact. And no at no point did I say you need to ask permission before editing. I'm not your boss. But when removing pieces of trivia for reasons like "notability", it's probably better to see what anyone else thinks. -- [[User:DeepSpaceHomer|DeepSpaceHomer]] 16:12, 9 August 2011 (CEST)<br />
<br />
So, we can put a page called "Fry's armpit" and you'd consider it notable? Please, the bullet is not notable at all, and if a lack of notability is not a reason to remove a trivia bullet, then let's bring in everything not related to Futurama into this wiki. It's like putting in "Bender used his robotic abilities again in this episode", something unprofessional, unnotable, and frankly, idiotic. Please, think before you run off your big mouth (something you admitted to) to someone who is just trying to keep the wiki clear of nonsense--[[User:Icyweaner2999|Icyweaner2999]] 16:16, 9 August 2011 (CEST)<br />

:Wow. You have a temper. I'm not even going to try arguing with insults, so I'll just take my leave to greener pastures. -- [[User:DeepSpaceHomer|DeepSpaceHomer]] 16:23, 9 August 2011 (CEST)<br />
<br />
I'm not even angry. I'm just surprised you'd try to provoke me hours after my release.--[[User:Icyweaner2999|Icyweaner2999]] 16:27, 9 August 2011 (CEST)<br />
<br />
Icy, don't take everything personal. I for one think it ''is'' notable, because it is a fun note that a lot of viewers would miss. Just because someone disagrees with you doesn't mean they "try to provoke" you. - [[User:Aki|aki]]<sup>[[User talk:Aki|talk]]</sup> 16:58, 9 August 2011 (CEST)<br />

First, Conradici said to drop the subject, and second, fun doesn't make it notable. And you're also wrong about DSH.

I know you're new, but you really should learn the difference between blatant and trivial. For next time, keep in mind that adding "trivia" for the sake of adding it isn't very helpful--[[User:Icyweaner2999|Icyweaner2999]] 15:26, 9 August 2011 (CEST)<br />

:Wow. Thanks for that warm welcome. I'm fully aware of the difference between blatant and trivial, thank you very much. As someone pointed out, they hadn't noticed the moment under discussion; I thought the point of the Trivia section was to include interesting things that people might have missed, and I figured this might have been one.

:Wow. Thanks for the wonderful first impression. Just because people miss it doesn't mean it's notable. In fact, you just told me you posted it based on speculation.

I answered why. Two times. First, in my summary, the second time was on the talkpage. You chose to ignore that, and I politely reminded you about notability in trivia.

Dora debuted in 2000</p>
<hr />
<div>'''Dora the Destroyer''' is a main fictional character in the animated television series ''Dora the Destroyer''. A sequel or spinoff series to ''Dora the Explorer'', a preschool kids program that aired on Nickelodeon in the early 21st century, it is unknown whether this Dora retains the last name of Marquez. On her journeys, she and her best friend [[Boots the Destroyer|Boots]] defeat their enemies using high-powered machine guns.

<hr />
<div>==Episode Title==<br />
Mobius Dick is also a 2004 novel by Andrew Crumey. [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mobius_Dick]<br />
<br />
== Ships in the Graveyard ==<br />
<br />
I love the ships in the Graveyard - but can't identify them all. The BEST obscure ship has to be the last one - from "Josie & the Pussycats in Outer Space"! I also recognize the "Jupiter" from "Lost in Space" - what are some of the others?<br />
<br />
There's also the ELO space-ship used in album art of A New World Record, Out of The Blue, Discovery (Disco-Very)<br />
<br />
There was an Oceanic ship.. I believe it to be a reference to LOST series, a series done by ABC Family. I am not sure, though. :3<br />
<br />
== Blonde guy? ==<br />
<br />
Who were all the other people who came out of the 4D bowel at the end? I recognized Dr. Who but not the other two.<br />
<br />
Ok, 2 theories on the blond guy seen in the 4D bowels of the space whale ( --[[User:Malorkus|Malorkus]] 23:21, 7 August 2011 (CEST) ):<br />
:1. He is actor {{w|Sam Rockwell}}, wearing the flight suit from the movie {{w|Moon_(film)|Moon}} and the hairdo from his role as {{w|Zaphod Beeblebrox}} in {{w|The_Hitchhiker's_Guide_to_the_Galaxy_(film)|The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy}}.<br />
:2. He is {{w|Richard Branson}}, chairman/founder of {{w|Virgin Galactic}} -- space flight pioneer and presumably gone missing in our near future.<br />
<br />
Also of note, the bowels also seemed to contain 3 Russian Cosmonauts (who later emerge from the whale back at Planet Express) and {{w|Amelia Earhart}} (who we never see later outside of the whale). ( --[[User:Malorkus|Malorkus]] 23:21, 7 August 2011 (CEST) )<br />
<br />
== Allusions ==<br />
<br />
"''Möbius Dick'' is also well known in the mathematics community as the answer to a pun-based math riddle: ''What's non-orientable and lives in the ocean?'' and the title of a 2000 {{w|science-fiction}} novel by {{w|Andrew Crumey}}."<br />
<br />
Because they refer to two separate facts, they should have separate bullet points. Not only that, the puzzle solution and the novel don't even have the same titles. "Möbius Dick" (puzzle, with umlaut) and "Mobius Dick" (novel, without). -- [[User:DeepSpaceHomer|DeepSpaceHomer]] 17:06, 5 August 2011 (CEST)<br />
<br />
But they are similar titles, and both bullet points have the same concept, and start out the SAME EXACT WAY. I do not know what your problem is with compound sentences. This is basically what you want<br />
<br />
*I am a bird<br />
*I am a person<br />
<br />
This is what I want<br />
<br />
*I am a bird and a person<br />
Now do you see what I'm trying to do? --[[User:Icyweaner2999|Icyweaner2999]] 17:15, 5 August 2011 (CEST)<br />
:Only one of the above things is "Möbius Dick", the other is not. It's a bit pedantic, yes, but similarity does not equal sameness. Different titles should mean separate facts. -- [[User:DeepSpaceHomer|DeepSpaceHomer]] 17:25, 5 August 2011 (CEST)<br />
<br />
So you're separating it all because of an umlaut? No way--[[User:Icyweaner2999|Icyweaner2999]] 18:58, 5 August 2011 (CEST)<br />
<br />
: Two bullet points make it easier to read than combining them into one. --'''[[User:Svip|Svip]]'''<sup>[[User talk:Svip|talk]]</sup> 19:03, 5 August 2011 (CEST)<br />
<br />
Getting to the point is easier to read than unnecessarily expanding the article because of a single umlaut--[[User:Icyweaner2999|Icyweaner2999]] 19:10, 5 August 2011 (CEST)<br />
<br />
: I am not talking about the umlaut, I am talking about two different allusions might be easier to overlook if they are separated. After all, we are writing a bullet list, not prose. --'''[[User:Svip|Svip]]'''<sup>[[User talk:Svip|talk]]</sup> 19:37, 5 August 2011 (CEST)<br />
<br />
Yes you are talking about the umlaut. It's what literally forced you to make them bulleted separately when the points are the exact same idea--[[User:Icyweaner2999|Icyweaner2999]] 19:52, 5 August 2011 (CEST)<br />
<br />
: Don't go visiting my intentions. I am not talking about the umlaut, I am talking about them being two different works. --'''[[User:Svip|Svip]]'''<sup>[[User talk:Svip|talk]]</sup> 20:05, 5 August 2011 (CEST)<br />
<br />
Just because they're different works doesn't mean they get different bullets--[[User:Icyweaner2999|Icyweaner2999]] 20:15, 5 August 2011 (CEST)<br />
<br />
:The umlaut is only important in the sense that they are different from one another, which is the point I was trying to make originally. They are two separate works, each deserving of it's own line of trivia. -- [[User:DeepSpaceHomer|DeepSpaceHomer]] 20:11, 5 August 2011 (CEST)<br />
<br />
I agree with Icy, rhus it's not community consensus, and just because it was 2 to 1 doesn't make it community consensus--[[Special:Contributions/174.255.112.29|174.255.112.29]]<br />
<br />
:They are two different things and I think it should be separated to make it more clear. --[[User:Superbender|Superbender]] 19:11, 7 August 2011 (CEST)<br />
<br />
Just because they're different works doesn't mean they get different bullets. They still have the same exact title. Why dont you understand that? A separate bullet causes repetition, something that Icy was trying to prevent. I mean, come on people!--[[Special:Contributions/174.255.112.29|174.255.112.29]]<br />
<br />
== Joke or Goof? ==<br />
<br />
Not sure if this is an intended joke or goof when the space whale gets harpooned and yanks the ship. Bender is the first person to hit the wall and then disappears behind the other characters piling on the wall. Then Bender hits the last person to pile on the wall.<br />
<br />
== While in the 4th Dimension ==<br />
<br />
The only quote that seems to sound correct backwards is Hermes, while Amy's quote backwards sounds like something possibly being said in Chinese.<br />
<br />
== (Trivia) "When Bender is told that the [[spacebergs]] are giant diamonds, his pupils momentarily become diamond (lozenge) shaped." ==<br />
<br />
Icyweaner2999 - sorry, why exactly have you removed this from the article? [[User:Conradici|Conradici]] 14:45, 9 August 2011 (CEST)<br />
<br />
Because that's not exactly trivia, nor a goof. It's just a joke scene used for comedy. You only added it for the sake of adding it--[[User:Icyweaner2999|Icyweaner2999]] 14:47, 9 August 2011 (CEST)<br />
<br />
:Well, I didn't notice Bender's eyes when I watched the episode. There's no harm in this piece of trivia being in the article. -- [[User:DeepSpaceHomer|DeepSpaceHomer]] 15:15, 9 August 2011 (CEST)<br />
<br />
::But how is it notable exactly? It was blatant, not trivial--[[User:Icyweaner2999|Icyweaner2999]] 15:17, 9 August 2011 (CEST)<br />
<br />
:::I'm not rehashing the notability argument. I'll just say that I think it should have remained, and that you should have brought it up in discussion before removing it unilaterally. -- [[User:DeepSpaceHomer|DeepSpaceHomer]] 16:04, 9 August 2011 (CEST)<br />
<br />
I didn't think the removal was going to be questioned. Are you saying I have to ask permission every time to edit any page I wish to edit? Besides, Bender's irises can change shape, that's already been established. No reason to make it trivia 7 broadcast seasons in--[[User:Icyweaner2999|Icyweaner2999]] 16:07, 9 August 2011 (CEST)<br />
:So it can be put under continuity. It's a relevant fact. And no at no point did I say you need to ask permission before editing. I'm not your boss. But when removing pieces of trivia for reasons like "notability", it's probably better to see what anyone else thinks. -- [[User:DeepSpaceHomer|DeepSpaceHomer]] 16:12, 9 August 2011 (CEST)<br />
<br />
So, we can put a page called "Fry's armpit" and you'd consider it notable? Please, the bullet is not notable at all, and if a lack of notability is not a reason to remove a trivia bullet, then let's bring in everything not related to Futurama into this wiki. It's like putting in "Bender used his robotic abilities again in this episode", something unprofessional, unnotable, and frankly, idiotic. Please, think before you run off your big mouth (something you admitted to) to someone who is just trying to keep the wiki clear of nonsense--[[User:Icyweaner2999|Icyweaner2999]] 16:16, 9 August 2011 (CEST)<br />
<br />
:Wow. You have a temper. I'm not even going to try arguing with insults, so I'll just take my leave to greener pastures. -- [[User:DeepSpaceHomer|DeepSpaceHomer]] 16:23, 9 August 2011 (CEST)<br />
<br />
I'm not even angry. I'm just surprised you'd try to provoke me hours after my release.--[[User:Icyweaner2999|Icyweaner2999]] 16:27, 9 August 2011 (CEST)</div>Icyweaner2999https://theinfosphere.org/index.php?title=User_talk:Conradici&diff=98219User talk:Conradici2011-08-09T14:21:28Z<p>Icyweaner2999: /* Look */</p>

<div>==Episode Title==<br />
Mobius Dick is also a 2004 novel by Andrew Crumey. [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mobius_Dick]<br />
<br />
== Ships in the Graveyard ==<br />
<br />
I love the ships in the Graveyard - but can't identify them all. The BEST obscure ship has to be the last one - from "Josie & the Pussycats in Outer Space"! I also recognize the "Jupiter" from "Lost in Space" - what are some of the others?<br />
<br />
There's also the ELO space-ship used in album art of A New World Record, Out of The Blue, Discovery (Disco-Very)<br />
<br />
There was an Oceanic ship.. I believe it to be a reference to LOST series, a series done by ABC Family. I am not sure, though. :3<br />
<br />
== Blonde guy? ==<br />
<br />
Who were all the other people who came out of the 4D bowel at the end? I recognized Dr. Who but not the other two.<br />
<br />
Ok, 2 theories on the blond guy seen in the 4D bowels of the space whale ( --[[User:Malorkus|Malorkus]] 23:21, 7 August 2011 (CEST) ):<br />
:1. He is actor {{w|Sam Rockwell}}, wearing the flight suit from the movie {{w|Moon_(film)|Moon}} and the hairdo from his role as {{w|Zaphod Beeblebrox}} in {{w|The_Hitchhiker's_Guide_to_the_Galaxy_(film)|The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy}}.<br />
:2. He is {{w|Richard Branson}}, chairman/founder of {{w|Virgin Galactic}} -- space flight pioneer and presumably gone missing in our near future.<br />
<br />
Also of note, the bowels also seemed to contain 3 Russian Cosmonauts (who later emerge from the whale back at Planet Express) and {{w|Amelia Earhart}} (who we never see later outside of the whale). ( --[[User:Malorkus|Malorkus]] 23:21, 7 August 2011 (CEST) )<br />
<br />
== Allusions ==<br />
<br />
"''Möbius Dick'' is also well known in the mathematics community as the answer to a pun-based math riddle: ''What's non-orientable and lives in the ocean?'' and the title of a 2000 {{w|science-fiction}} novel by {{w|Andrew Crumey}}."<br />
<br />
Because they refer to two separate facts, they should have separate bullet points. Not only that, the puzzle solution and the novel don't even have the same titles. "Möbius Dick" (puzzle, with umlaut) and "Mobius Dick" (novel, without). -- [[User:DeepSpaceHomer|DeepSpaceHomer]] 17:06, 5 August 2011 (CEST)<br />
<br />
But they are similar titles, and both bullet points have the same concept, and start out the SAME EXACT WAY. I do not know what your problem is with compound sentences. This is basically what you want<br />
<br />

*I am a person<br />

She is a cupcake with a crown on top of her frosting. She first met [[Turanga Leela]] when she visited the planet and established the planet as her quiet place. Leela began to take notes of everyday activities that Num Num and her friends partake in, for her show ''[[Rumbledy-hump]]''. For the show, the character was played by [[Amy Wong]]. When Leela's secret was exposed, the situation was remedied when Num Num and the other Humplings were cast in the reality show version of the show. This job put Num Num above the poverty line.<br />

I know you're new, but you really should learn the difference between blatant and trivial. For next time, keep in mind that adding "trivia" for the sake of adding it isn't very helpful--[[User:Icyweaner2999|Icyweaner2999]] 15:26, 9 August 2011 (CEST)<br />
<br />
:Wow. Thanks for that warm welcome. I'm fully aware of the difference between blatant and trivial, thank you very much. As someone pointed out, they hadn't noticed the moment under discussion; I thought the point of the Trivia section was to include interesting things that people might have missed, and I figured this might have been one. I don't know why it's riled you so much - it's only one entry, after all - that you've felt moved to write on my user page. [[User:Conradici|Conradici]] 15:39, 9 August 2011 (CEST)<br />
<br />
:Wow. Thanks for the wonderful first impression. Just because people miss it doesn't mean it's notable. In fact, you just told me you posted it based on speculation. Just because it's one entry doesn't mean it should be there if it's not notable. It's like in "Plankton v. Krabs" when Mr. Krabs's eyes drop gold bars when he realized how cheap the lawyer was. What makes Bender's notable? --[[User:Icyweaner2999|Icyweaner2999]] 15:43, 9 August 2011 (CEST)<br />
<br />
::Seriously, what? I post an item that I thought would fit into the trivia section of the article; maybe it does, maybe it doesn't. As you know, I'm new. You remove the entry, and I - politely - asked you why. The next thing I get is an offensively phrased message on my user page from you. "First impression", indeed. Thanks very much. [[User:Conradici|Conradici]] 15:58, 9 August 2011 (CEST)<br />
<br />
I answered why. Two times. First, in my summary, the second time was on the talkpage. You chose to ignore that, and I politely reminded you about notability in trivia. I carefully worded my message and there is no way it was offensive. Because I tried to be polite, once again, I get sarcasm from somebody who thinks they know everything about the wiki from just 1 trivia edit--[[User:Icyweaner2999|Icyweaner2999]] 16:01, 9 August 2011 (CEST)</div>Icyweaner2999https://theinfosphere.org/index.php?title=A_Flight_to_Remember&diff=98204A Flight to Remember2011-08-09T13:58:26Z<p>Icyweaner2999: /* Characters */</p>

"'''A Flight to Remember'''" is the tenth episode of ''[[Futurama]]'' and of the [[Season 1|first production season]], and the first of the [[Broadcast season 2|second broadcast season]]. It is the first episode to air in a different season than it was produced for. It aired 26 September, 1999 on FOX. This episode tells several tales on board the cruise liner, [[Titanic]] piloted by [[Zapp Brannigan]]. It also introduces [[Kif-Amy relationship|the relationship]] between [[Kif Kroker]] and [[Amy Wong]].<br />
<br />
== The Story ==<br />
=== Act I: "Shove it! We quit!" ===<br />
The crew return to Planet Express, having narrowly escaped a delivery on the planet Cannibalon with their lives. They abruptly tell the [[Professor Hubert J. Farnsworth|Professor]] they're quitting, but they quickly reconsider after he tells them they are all taking a company vacation - on the maiden voyage of the largest space cruise ship ever built, the [[Titanic]]. None of them see any danger in this.<br />
<br />
=== Act II: "I christen this ship Titanic!" ===<br />
At the ship's christening and launch ceremony, [[Mayor C. Randall Poopenmeyer|Mayor Poopenmeyer]] presents [[Zapp Brannigan]], who is honorary captain for the Titanic's maiden voyage. Hoping to avoid Zapp's advances, [[Turanga Leela|Leela]] pretends to be engaged to [[Philip J. Fry|Fry]]. In the Titanic they all visit the professor's suite, which is in first class but the others' room is in the lowest class. [[Bender Bending Rodriguez|Bender]], in the casino, meets a rich fembot, the [[Countess de la Roca]], who thinks Bender is rich too. Zapp Brannigan takes the ship off course seeking adventure, but the new course passes through a swarm of comets. [[Amy Wong|Amy]] runs into [[Leo and Inez Wong|her parents]], who immediately begin trying to hook her up with an [[Unnamed Fat Guy|unpleasant fat man]]. To put them off, she also claims to be dating Fry, and kisses him.<br />
<br />
=== Act III: "I'm a poor, lazy, sexy fraud." ===<br />
Leela gets jealous of Fry's pretend relationship with Amy after seeing them kiss. Bender, pretends to be a rich aristocrat to impress the Countess, and in her room, he looks for something to steal and sees a gold bracelet with a diamond, but he can't take it. In the bar, he asks [[iZac]] why he couldn't steal the bracalet, and he says Bender's in love with her. Then Bender steals some drinks and gets beat up by guards called by iZac. The Countess saves him and accepts Bender anyway; romance ensues, and they have a passionate kiss. Meanwhile, as the others have a limbo competition, [[Hermes Conrad|Hermes]] remembers when he was in the [[2980 Olympics]] limbo team and a [[2980 Olympics Boy|young fan]] of his broke his back while imitating him, this is what made Hermes quit limbo. Zapp makes Leela the winner, though she didn't even participate and as a reward he invites Fry, Leela, and the Wongs to dinner. At the restaurant, the Wongs want Fry to kiss his "girlfriend" Amy, but Zapp, suspecting Leela and Fry are not engaged, is watching him. When [[Kif Kroker|Kif]] calls Zapp away after his course corrections lead the ship into disaster, he has to leave the table, and Amy kisses Fry. Again, this makes Leela jealous and insecure. When she confronts Fry, he actually says the right thing for once. They see all the couples: Hermes with [[LaBarbara Conrad|LaBarbara]], [[Dr. John A. Zoidberg|Zoidberg]] with the [[Jellyfish Nurse]] and Farnsworth with [[Hattie McDoogal]]. They're about to kiss but the moment is ruined when Zapp's course corrections make matters worse. The Titanic is going to a black hole.<br />
<br />
=== Act IV: "Tell 'em I died robbing some old man." ===<br />
As the ship falls into the black hole (thanks to Zapp, who makes Kif the captain and escapes in a small ship), everyone heads for the life boats. Bender goes to find the Countess, who is trapped in a burning room deep in the ship. Bender uses a fire hose to put out the fire, and the room floods so Bender rides the Countess, who is a Class 3 Yacht, to safety. Meanwhile, the Planet Express crew is caught behind an emergency bulkhead, and it's up to Hermes to save the day by limboing under the door while [[Dr. John Zoidberg|Zoidberg]] holds it open slightly with his claw. Hermes goes really far down and manages to get to the other side to open the door. The Wongs find another boyfriend for Amy, Kif, and they kiss as they go to the boat. They wait as long as they can for Bender before boarding the last life raft and escaping, but Bender and the Countess arrive just in time and grab the raft's door before it launches. The pod is too heavy, and they are saved when the Countess falls into the black hole. Fry tries to console a sad Bender by saying the Countess might be in a parallel universe, but according to the professor she must be dead. Bender says he still has the bracelet but Hermes examines it and says it's fake. Bender cries as the pod flies away.<br />

=== Trivia ===<br />
*Kif and Amy meet for the first time in this episode, beginning the [[Kif-Amy relationship|romance between them]].<br />
*This is the first time we learn of Hermes' history as a professional Limbo champion.<br />
*This is also the first time that Leela and Fry are seen in a [[Fry-Leela relationship|romantic situation]].<br />
<br />
=== Allusions ===<br />
*This episode's main plot is a parody of the 1997 film ''Titanic''.<br />
*iZac is a robotic version of Isaac Washington, the bartender played by Ted Lange on ''The Love Boat'', his name doubling as a reference to the Apple iProducts.<br />
*When the crew rush to an escape pod, [[Professor Hubert J. Farnsworth|the Professor]] is seen on the back of Fry, a reference to {{sw|Yoda}} on Luke's back during his training in ''{{sw|Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back}}''.<br />

=== Quotes ===<br />
{{q|<br />
<poem>'''The Countess de la Roca''': It may hurt for a while, but one day you'll share your love again. After all, it's shareware.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Kif''': Sir, remember your course correction? Well it's proving somewhat more suicidal than we had initially hoped.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Leela''': Take it off, or I'll break it off.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Bender''': Well, I'm tired of this room and everyone in it. Now if you'll excuse me, I'm gonna pop over to the casino for the next 135 hours.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Fry''': You're going back for the Countess, aren't you!?<br />
'''Bender''': Alright, I am, but I don't want the others to know! If I don't come back, just tell them I died robbing some old man!<br />
'''Fry''': I'll tell them you went out prying the wedding ring off his cold, dead finger!<br />
'''Bender''': [tearful] I love you, buddy!</poem><br />
|2}}<br />
<br />
=== Goofs ===<br />
*Bender get in the escape pods, which lack a dual airlock system, without causing the pod to decompress in the end.<br />
*In the scene when LaBarbara tells Hermes to hit the door release, Amy is seen without a nose.<br />
*When Bender is looking at the dice he has three fingers, but when he rolls the dice he is seen with four fingers on his right hand. Once he puts his hand on the table, he has three fingers again.<br />
*Although Zoidberg was seen with a [[Jellyfish Nurse|jellyfish-like woman]] in this episode, it was shown in "[[Why Must I Be a Crustacean in Love?]]", almost a year later, that he was oblivious of the meaning of love at that time. He is also revealed to be a saltwater animal in this episode, but he spat out salt water in "[[My Three Suns]]". However this may not be a goof as being with the [[Jellyfish Nurse|jellyfish-like woman]] doesn't imply he understands love, as he clearly already had an understanding of mating.<br />
*Due to the massive gravitational pull of a black hole, the part of the ship that was close to it should have started to have a time dilation, where the furthest part of the ship would have been moving faster than the closer part.<br />

Farnsworth|Professor]] they're quitting, but they quickly reconsider after he tells them they are all taking a company vacation - on the maiden voyage of the largest space cruise ship ever built, the [[Titanic]]. None of them see any danger in this.<br />
<br />
=== Act II: "I christen this ship Titanic!" ===<br />
At the ship's christening and launch ceremony, [[Mayor C. Randall Poopenmeyer|Mayor Poopenmeyer]] presents [[Zapp Brannigan]], who is honorary captain for the Titanic's maiden voyage. Hoping to avoid Zapp's advances, [[Turanga Leela|Leela]] pretends to be engaged to [[Philip J. Fry|Fry]]. In the Titanic they all visit the professor's suite, which is in first class but the others' room is in the lowest class. [[Bender Bending Rodriguez|Bender]], in the casino, meets a rich fembot, the [[Countess de la Roca]], who thinks Bender is rich too. Zapp Brannigan takes the ship off course seeking adventure, but the new course passes through a swarm of comets. [[Amy Wong|Amy]] runs into [[Leo and Inez Wong|her parents]], who immediately begin trying to hook her up with an [[Unnamed Fat Guy|unpleasant fat man]]. To put them off, she also claims to be dating Fry, and kisses him.<br />
<br />
=== Act III: "I'm a poor, lazy, sexy fraud." ===<br />
Leela gets jealous of Fry's pretend relationship with Amy after seeing them kiss. Bender, pretends to be a rich aristocrat to impress the Countess, and in her room, he looks for something to steal and sees a gold bracelet with a diamond, but he can't take it. In the bar, he asks [[iZac]] why he couldn't steal the bracalet, and he says Bender's in love with her. Then Bender steals some drinks and gets beat up by guards called by iZac. The Countess saves him and accepts Bender anyway; romance ensues, and they have a passionate kiss. Meanwhile, as the others have a limbo competition, [[Hermes Conrad|Hermes]] remembers when he was in the [[2980 Olympics]] limbo team and a [[2980 Olympics Boy|young fan]] of his broke his back while imitating him, this is what made Hermes quit limbo. Zapp makes Leela the winner, though she didn't even participate and as a reward he invites Fry, Leela, and the Wongs to dinner. At the restaurant, the Wongs want Fry to kiss his "girlfriend" Amy, but Zapp, suspecting Leela and Fry are not engaged, is watching him. When [[Kif Kroker|Kif]] calls Zapp away after his course corrections lead the ship into disaster, he has to leave the table, and Amy kisses Fry. Again, this makes Leela jealous and insecure. When she confronts Fry, he actually says the right thing for once. They see all the couples: Hermes with [[LaBarbara Conrad|LaBarbara]], [[Dr. John A. Zoidberg|Zoidberg]] with the [[Jellyfish Nurse]] and Farnsworth with [[Hattie McDoogal]]. They're about to kiss but the moment is ruined when Zapp's course corrections make matters worse. The Titanic is going to a black hole.<br />
<br />
=== Act IV: "Tell 'em I died robbing some old man." ===<br />
As the ship falls into the black hole (thanks to Zapp, who makes Kif the captain and escapes in a small ship), everyone heads for the life boats. Bender goes to find the Countess, who is trapped in a burning room deep in the ship. Bender uses a fire hose to put out the fire, and the room floods so Bender rides the Countess, who is a Class 3 Yacht, to safety. Meanwhile, the Planet Express crew is caught behind an emergency bulkhead, and it's up to Hermes to save the day by limboing under the door while [[Dr. John Zoidberg|Zoidberg]] holds it open slightly with his claw. Hermes goes really far down and manages to get to the other side to open the door. The Wongs find another boyfriend for Amy, Kif, and they kiss as they go to the boat. They wait as long as they can for Bender before boarding the last life raft and escaping, but Bender and the Countess arrive just in time and grab the raft's door before it launches. The pod is too heavy, and they are saved when the Countess falls into the black hole. Fry tries to console a sad Bender by saying the Countess might be in a parallel universe, but according to the professor she must be dead. Bender says he still has the bracelet but Hermes examines it and says it's fake. Bender cries as the pod flies away.<br />

=== Goofs ===<br />
*Bender get in the escape pods, which lack a dual airlock system, without causing the pod to decompress in the end.<br />
*In the scene when LaBarbara tells Hermes to hit the door release, Amy is seen without a nose.<br />
*When Bender is looking at the dice he has three fingers, but when he rolls the dice he is seen with four fingers on his right hand. Once he puts his hand on the table, he has three fingers again.<br />
*Although Zoidberg was seen with a [[Jellyfish Nurse|jellyfish-like woman]] in this episode, it was shown in "[[Why Must I Be a Crustacean in Love?]]", almost a year later, that he was oblivious of the meaning of love at that time. He is also revealed to be a saltwater animal in this episode, but he spat out salt water in "[[My Three Suns]]". However this may not be a goof as being with the [[Jellyfish Nurse|jellyfish-like woman]] doesn't imply he understands love, as he clearly already had an understanding of mating.<br />
*Due to the massive gravitational pull of a black hole, the part of the ship that was close to it should have started to have a time dilation, where the furthest part of the ship would have been moving faster than the closer part.<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 />

*When Zoidberg sings the lyric "Like a horse, a turtle or a cricket", Bender (in his Garglie character) says "I like turtle!", 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 />

"'''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 />

"'''A Flight to Remember'''" is the tenth episode of ''[[Futurama]]'' and of the [[Season 1|first production season]], and the first of the [[Broadcast season 2|second broadcast season]]. It is the first episode to air in a different season than it was produced for. It aired 26 September, 1999 on FOX. This episode tells several tales on board the cruise liner, [[Titanic]] piloted by [[Zapp Brannigan]]. It also introduces [[Kif-Amy relationship|the relationship]] between [[Kif Kroker]] and [[Amy Wong]].<br />
<br />
== The Story ==<br />
=== Act I: "Shove it! We quit!" ===<br />
The crew return to Planet Express, having narrowly escaped a delivery on the planet Cannibalon with their lives. They abruptly tell the [[Professor Hubert J. Farnsworth|Professor]] they're quitting, but they quickly reconsider after he tells them they are all taking a company vacation - on the maiden voyage of the largest space cruise ship ever built, the [[Titanic]]. None of them see any danger in this.<br />
<br />
=== Act II: "I christen this ship Titanic!" ===<br />
At the ship's christening and launch ceremony, [[Mayor C. Randall Poopenmeyer|Mayor Poopenmeyer]] presents [[Zapp Brannigan]], who is honorary captain for the Titanic's maiden voyage. Hoping to avoid Zapp's advances, [[Turanga Leela|Leela]] pretends to be engaged to [[Philip J. Fry|Fry]]. In the Titanic they all visit the professor's suite, which is in first class but the others' room is in the lowest class. [[Bender Bending Rodriguez|Bender]], in the casino, meets a rich fembot, the [[Countess de la Roca]], who thinks Bender is rich too. Zapp Brannigan takes the ship off course seeking adventure, but the new course passes through a swarm of comets. [[Amy Wong|Amy]] runs into [[Leo and Inez Wong|her parents]], who immediately begin trying to hook her up with an [[Unnamed Fat Guy|unpleasant fat man]]. To put them off, she also claims to be dating Fry, and kisses him.<br />
<br />
=== Act III: "I'm a poor, lazy, sexy fraud." ===<br />
Leela gets jealous of Fry's pretend relationship with Amy after seeing them kiss. Bender, pretends to be a rich aristocrat to impress the Countess, and in her room, he looks for something to steal and sees a gold bracelet with a diamond, but he can't take it. In the bar, he asks [[iZac]] why he couldn't steal the bracalet, and he says Bender's in love with her. Then Bender steals some drinks and gets beat up by guards called by iZac. The Countess saves him and accepts Bender anyway; romance ensues, and they have a passionate kiss. Meanwhile, as the others have a limbo competition, [[Hermes Conrad|Hermes]] remembers when he was in the [[2980 Olympics]] limbo team and a [[2980 Olympics Boy|young fan]] of his broke his back while imitating him, this is what made Hermes quit limbo. Zapp makes Leela the winner, though she didn't even participate and as a reward he invites Fry, Leela, and the Wongs to dinner. At the restaurant, the Wongs want Fry to kiss his "girlfriend" Amy, but Zapp, suspecting Leela and Fry are not engaged, is watching him. When [[Kif Kroker|Kif]] calls Zapp away after his course corrections lead the ship into disaster, he has to leave the table, and Amy kisses Fry. Again, this makes Leela jealous and insecure. When she confronts Fry, he actually says the right thing for once. They see all the couples: Hermes with [[LaBarbara Conrad|LaBarbara]], [[Dr. John A. Zoidberg|Zoidberg]] with the [[Jellyfish Nurse]] and Farnsworth with [[Hattie McDoogal]]. They're about to kiss but the moment is ruined when Zapp's course corrections make matters worse. The Titanic is going to a black hole.<br />
<br />
=== Act IV: "Tell 'em I died robbing some old man." ===<br />
As the ship falls into the black hole (thanks to Zapp, who makes Kif the captain and escapes in a small ship), everyone heads for the life boats. Bender goes to find the Countess, who is trapped in a burning room deep in the ship. Bender uses a fire hose to put out the fire, and the room floods so Bender rides the Countess, who is a Class 3 Yacht, to safety. Meanwhile, the Planet Express crew is caught behind an emergency bulkhead, and it's up to Hermes to save the day by limboing under the door while [[Dr. John Zoidberg|Zoidberg]] holds it open slightly with his claw. Hermes goes really far down and manages to get to the other side to open the door. The Wongs find another boyfriend for Amy, Kif, and they kiss as they go to the boat. They wait as long as they can for Bender before boarding the last life raft and escaping, but Bender and the Countess arrive just in time and grab the raft's door before it launches. The pod is too heavy, and they are saved when the Countess falls into the black hole. Fry tries to console a sad Bender by saying the Countess might be in a parallel universe, but according to the professor she must be dead. Bender says he still has the bracelet but Hermes examines it and says it's fake. Bender cries as the pod flies away.<br />
<br />
== Additional Info ==<br />
[[File:Promo 1ACV10.jpg|right|thumbnail|[[Promotional picture|Promo pic]] of this episode]]<br />
<br />
=== Trivia ===<br />
*Kif and Amy meet for the first time in this episode, beginning the [[Kif-Amy relationship|romance between them]].<br />
*This is the first time we learn of Hermes' history as a professional Limbo champion.<br />
*This is also the first time that Leela and Fry are seen in a [[Fry-Leela relationship|romantic situation]].<br />
<br />
=== Allusions ===<br />
*This episode's main plot is a parody of the 1997 film ''Titanic''.<br />
*iZac is a robotic version of Isaac Washington, the bartender played by Ted Lange on ''The Love Boat'', his name doubling as a reference to the Apple iProducts.<br />
*When the crew rush to an escape pod, [[Professor Hubert J. Farnsworth|the Professor]] is seen on the back of Fry, a reference to {{sw|Yoda}} on Luke's back during his training in '{{sw|Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back}}''.<br />
<br />
=== Quotes ===<br />
{{q|<br />
<poem>'''The Countess de la Roca''': It may hurt for a while, but one day you'll share your love again. After all, it's shareware.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Kif''': Sir, remember your course correction? Well it's proving somewhat more suicidal than we had initially hoped.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Leela''': Take it off, or I'll break it off.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Bender''': Well, I'm tired of this room and everyone in it. Now if you'll excuse me, I'm gonna pop over to the casino for the next 135 hours.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Fry''': You're going back for the Countess, aren't you!?<br />
'''Bender''': Alright, I am, but I don't want the others to know! If I don't come back, just tell them I died robbing some old man!<br />
'''Fry''': I'll tell them you went out prying the wedding ring off his cold, dead finger!<br />
'''Bender''': [tearful] I love you, buddy!</poem><br />
|2}}<br />
<br />
=== Goofs ===<br />
*Since the escape pods don't seem to have any kind of dual airlock system, how does Bender get in without causing the pod to decompress in the end?<br />
*In the scene when LaBarbara tells Hermes to hit the door release, Amy is seen without a nose.<br />
*When Bender is looking at the dice he has three fingers, but when he rolls the dice he is seen with four fingers on his right hand. Once he puts his hand on the table he has three fingers again.<br />
*Although Zoidberg was seen with a [[Jellyfish Nurse|jellyfish-like woman]] in this episode, it was shown in "[[Why Must I Be a Crustacean in Love?]]", almost a year later, that he was oblivious of the meaning of love at that time. He is also revealed to be a salt-water animal here, but he spat out salt water in "[[My Three Suns]]". However this may not be a goof as being with the [[Jellyfish Nurse|jellyfish-like woman]] doesn't imply he understands love (he clearly already had an understanding of mating) and living in salt water may not be the same as drinking it.<br />
*Due to the massive gravitational pull of a black hole, the part of the ship that was close to it should have started to have a time dilation, where the furthest part of the ship would have been moving faster than the closer part.<br />
*Because space is a vacuum, Bender and the Countess would not have been able to speak with each other when they were hanging onto the end of the escape pod.<br />

== Look ==<br />
<br />
I know you're new, but you really should learn the difference between blatant and trivial. For next time, keep in mind that adding "trivia" for the sake of adding it isn't very helpful--[[User:Icyweaner2999|Icyweaner2999]] 15:26, 9 August 2011 (CEST)<br />
<br />
:Wow. Thanks for that warm welcome. I'm fully aware of the difference between blatant and trivial, thank you very much. As someone pointed out, they hadn't noticed the moment under discussion; I thought the point of the Trivia section was to include interesting things that people might have missed, and I figured this might have been one. I don't know why it's riled you so much - it's only one entry, after all - that you've felt moved to write on my user page. [[User:Conradici|Conradici]] 15:39, 9 August 2011 (CEST)<br />
<br />
:Wow. Thanks for the wonderful first impression. Just because people miss it doesn't mean it's notable. In fact, you just told me you posted it based on speculation. Just because it's one entry doesn't mean it should be there if it's not notable. It's like in "Plankton v. Krabs" when Mr. Krabs's eyes drop gold bars when he realized how cheap the lawyer was. What makes Bender's notable? --[[User:Icyweaner2999|Icyweaner2999]] 15:43, 9 August 2011 (CEST)</div>Icyweaner2999https://theinfosphere.org/index.php?title=Talk:M%C3%B6bius_Dick&diff=98193Talk:Möbius Dick2011-08-09T13:29:07Z<p>Icyweaner2999: Please move on.

<hr />
<div>==Episode Title==<br />
Mobius Dick is also a 2004 novel by Andrew Crumey. [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mobius_Dick]<br />
<br />
== Ships in the Graveyard ==<br />
<br />
I love the ships in the Graveyard - but can't identify them all. The BEST obscure ship has to be the last one - from "Josie & the Pussycats in Outer Space"! I also recognize the "Jupiter" from "Lost in Space" - what are some of the others?<br />
<br />
There's also the ELO space-ship used in album art of A New World Record, Out of The Blue, Discovery (Disco-Very)<br />
<br />
There was an Oceanic ship.. I believe it to be a reference to LOST series, a series done by ABC Family. I am not sure, though. :3<br />
<br />
== Blonde guy? ==<br />
<br />
Who were all the other people who came out of the 4D bowel at the end? I recognized Dr. Who but not the other two.<br />
<br />
Ok, 2 theories on the blond guy seen in the 4D bowels of the space whale ( --[[User:Malorkus|Malorkus]] 23:21, 7 August 2011 (CEST) ):<br />
:1. He is actor {{w|Sam Rockwell}}, wearing the flight suit from the movie {{w|Moon_(film)|Moon}} and the hairdo from his role as {{w|Zaphod Beeblebrox}} in {{w|The_Hitchhiker's_Guide_to_the_Galaxy_(film)|The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy}}.<br />
:2. He is {{w|Richard Branson}}, chairman/founder of {{w|Virgin Galactic}} -- space flight pioneer and presumably gone missing in our near future.<br />
<br />
Also of note, the bowels also seemed to contain 3 Russian Cosmonauts (who later emerge from the whale back at Planet Express) and {{w|Amelia Earhart}} (who we never see later outside of the whale). ( --[[User:Malorkus|Malorkus]] 23:21, 7 August 2011 (CEST) )<br />
<br />
== Allusions ==<br />
<br />
"''Möbius Dick'' is also well known in the mathematics community as the answer to a pun-based math riddle: ''What's non-orientable and lives in the ocean?'' and the title of a 2000 {{w|science-fiction}} novel by {{w|Andrew Crumey}}."<br />
<br />
Because they refer to two separate facts, they should have separate bullet points. Not only that, the puzzle solution and the novel don't even have the same titles. "Möbius Dick" (puzzle, with umlaut) and "Mobius Dick" (novel, without). -- [[User:DeepSpaceHomer|DeepSpaceHomer]] 17:06, 5 August 2011 (CEST)<br />
<br />
But they are similar titles, and both bullet points have the same concept, and start out the SAME EXACT WAY. I do not know what your problem is with compound sentences. This is basically what you want<br />
<br />
*I am a bird<br />
*I am a person<br />
<br />
This is what I want<br />
<br />
*I am a bird and a person<br />
Now do you see what I'm trying to do? --[[User:Icyweaner2999|Icyweaner2999]] 17:15, 5 August 2011 (CEST)<br />
:Only one of the above things is "Möbius Dick", the other is not. It's a bit pedantic, yes, but similarity does not equal sameness. Different titles should mean separate facts. -- [[User:DeepSpaceHomer|DeepSpaceHomer]] 17:25, 5 August 2011 (CEST)<br />
<br />
So you're separating it all because of an umlaut? No way--[[User:Icyweaner2999|Icyweaner2999]] 18:58, 5 August 2011 (CEST)<br />
<br />
: Two bullet points make it easier to read than combining them into one. --'''[[User:Svip|Svip]]'''<sup>[[User talk:Svip|talk]]</sup> 19:03, 5 August 2011 (CEST)<br />
<br />
Getting to the point is easier to read than unnecessarily expanding the article because of a single umlaut--[[User:Icyweaner2999|Icyweaner2999]] 19:10, 5 August 2011 (CEST)<br />
<br />
: I am not talking about the umlaut, I am talking about two different allusions might be easier to overlook if they are separated. After all, we are writing a bullet list, not prose. --'''[[User:Svip|Svip]]'''<sup>[[User talk:Svip|talk]]</sup> 19:37, 5 August 2011 (CEST)<br />
<br />
Yes you are talking about the umlaut. It's what literally forced you to make them bulleted separately when the points are the exact same idea--[[User:Icyweaner2999|Icyweaner2999]] 19:52, 5 August 2011 (CEST)<br />
<br />
: Don't go visiting my intentions. I am not talking about the umlaut, I am talking about them being two different works. --'''[[User:Svip|Svip]]'''<sup>[[User talk:Svip|talk]]</sup> 20:05, 5 August 2011 (CEST)<br />
<br />
Just because they're different works doesn't mean they get different bullets--[[User:Icyweaner2999|Icyweaner2999]] 20:15, 5 August 2011 (CEST)<br />
<br />
:The umlaut is only important in the sense that they are different from one another, which is the point I was trying to make originally. They are two separate works, each deserving of it's own line of trivia. -- [[User:DeepSpaceHomer|DeepSpaceHomer]] 20:11, 5 August 2011 (CEST)<br />
<br />
I agree with Icy, rhus it's not community consensus, and just because it was 2 to 1 doesn't make it community consensus--[[Special:Contributions/174.255.112.29|174.255.112.29]]<br />
<br />
:They are two different things and I think it should be separated to make it more clear. --[[User:Superbender|Superbender]] 19:11, 7 August 2011 (CEST)<br />
<br />
Just because they're different works doesn't mean they get different bullets. They still have the same exact title. Why dont you understand that? A separate bullet causes repetition, something that Icy was trying to prevent. I mean, come on people!--[[Special:Contributions/174.255.112.29|174.255.112.29]]<br />
<br />
== Joke or Goof? ==<br />
<br />
Not sure if this is an intended joke or goof when the space whale gets harpooned and yanks the ship. Bender is the first person to hit the wall and then disappears behind the other characters piling on the wall. Then Bender hits the last person to pile on the wall.<br />
<br />
== While in the 4th Dimension ==<br />
<br />
The only quote that seems to sound correct backwards is Hermes, while Amy's quote backwards sounds like something possibly being said in Chinese.<br />
<br />
== (Trivia) "When Bender is told that the [[spacebergs]] are giant diamonds, his pupils momentarily become diamond (lozenge) shaped." ==<br />
<br />
Icyweaner2999 - sorry, why exactly have you removed this from the article? [[User:Conradici|Conradici]] 14:45, 9 August 2011 (CEST)<br />
<br />
Because that's not exactly trivia, nor a goof. It's just a joke scene used for comedy. You only added it for the sake of adding it--[[User:Icyweaner2999|Icyweaner2999]] 14:47, 9 August 2011 (CEST)<br />
<br />
:Well, I didn't notice Bender's eyes when I watched the episode. There's no harm in this piece of trivia being in the article. -- [[User:DeepSpaceHomer|DeepSpaceHomer]] 15:15, 9 August 2011 (CEST)<br />
<br />
::But how is it notable exactly? It was blatant, not trivial--[[User:Icyweaner2999|Icyweaner2999]] 15:17, 9 August 2011 (CEST)</div>Icyweaner2999https://theinfosphere.org/index.php?title=User_talk:Conradici&diff=98191User talk:Conradici2011-08-09T13:26:33Z<p>Icyweaner2999: /* Look */ new section</p>

== Look ==<br />
<br />
I know you're new, but you really should learn the difference between blatant and trivial. For next time, keep in mind that adding "trivia" for the sake of adding it isn't very helpful--[[User:Icyweaner2999|Icyweaner2999]] 15:26, 9 August 2011 (CEST)</div>Icyweaner2999https://theinfosphere.org/index.php?title=Talk:M%C3%B6bius_Dick&diff=98190Talk:Möbius Dick2011-08-09T13:23:07Z<p>Icyweaner2999: /* Allusions */ Irrelevant matter</p>
<hr />
<div>==Episode Title==<br />
Mobius Dick is also a 2004 novel by Andrew Crumey. [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mobius_Dick]<br />
<br />
== Ships in the Graveyard ==<br />
<br />
I love the ships in the Graveyard - but can't identify them all. The BEST obscure ship has to be the last one - from "Josie & the Pussycats in Outer Space"! I also recognize the "Jupiter" from "Lost in Space" - what are some of the others?<br />
<br />
There's also the ELO space-ship used in album art of A New World Record, Out of The Blue, Discovery (Disco-Very)<br />
<br />
There was an Oceanic ship.. I believe it to be a reference to LOST series, a series done by ABC Family. I am not sure, though. :3<br />
<br />
== Blonde guy? ==<br />
<br />
Who were all the other people who came out of the 4D bowel at the end? I recognized Dr. Who but not the other two.<br />
<br />
Ok, 2 theories on the blond guy seen in the 4D bowels of the space whale ( --[[User:Malorkus|Malorkus]] 23:21, 7 August 2011 (CEST) ):<br />
:1. He is actor {{w|Sam Rockwell}}, wearing the flight suit from the movie {{w|Moon_(film)|Moon}} and the hairdo from his role as {{w|Zaphod Beeblebrox}} in {{w|The_Hitchhiker's_Guide_to_the_Galaxy_(film)|The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy}}.<br />
:2. He is {{w|Richard Branson}}, chairman/founder of {{w|Virgin Galactic}} -- space flight pioneer and presumably gone missing in our near future.<br />
<br />
Also of note, the bowels also seemed to contain 3 Russian Cosmonauts (who later emerge from the whale back at Planet Express) and {{w|Amelia Earhart}} (who we never see later outside of the whale). ( --[[User:Malorkus|Malorkus]] 23:21, 7 August 2011 (CEST) )<br />
<br />
== Allusions ==<br />
<br />
"''Möbius Dick'' is also well known in the mathematics community as the answer to a pun-based math riddle: ''What's non-orientable and lives in the ocean?'' and the title of a 2000 {{w|science-fiction}} novel by {{w|Andrew Crumey}}."<br />
<br />
Because they refer to two separate facts, they should have separate bullet points. Not only that, the puzzle solution and the novel don't even have the same titles. "Möbius Dick" (puzzle, with umlaut) and "Mobius Dick" (novel, without). -- [[User:DeepSpaceHomer|DeepSpaceHomer]] 17:06, 5 August 2011 (CEST)<br />
<br />
But they are similar titles, and both bullet points have the same concept, and start out the SAME EXACT WAY. I do not know what your problem is with compound sentences. This is basically what you want<br />
<br />
*I am a bird<br />
*I am a person<br />
<br />
This is what I want<br />
<br />
*I am a bird and a person<br />
Now do you see what I'm trying to do? --[[User:Icyweaner2999|Icyweaner2999]] 17:15, 5 August 2011 (CEST)<br />
:Only one of the above things is "Möbius Dick", the other is not. It's a bit pedantic, yes, but similarity does not equal sameness. Different titles should mean separate facts. -- [[User:DeepSpaceHomer|DeepSpaceHomer]] 17:25, 5 August 2011 (CEST)<br />
<br />
So you're separating it all because of an umlaut? No way--[[User:Icyweaner2999|Icyweaner2999]] 18:58, 5 August 2011 (CEST)<br />
<br />
: Two bullet points make it easier to read than combining them into one. --'''[[User:Svip|Svip]]'''<sup>[[User talk:Svip|talk]]</sup> 19:03, 5 August 2011 (CEST)<br />
<br />
Getting to the point is easier to read than unnecessarily expanding the article because of a single umlaut--[[User:Icyweaner2999|Icyweaner2999]] 19:10, 5 August 2011 (CEST)<br />
<br />
: I am not talking about the umlaut, I am talking about two different allusions might be easier to overlook if they are separated. After all, we are writing a bullet list, not prose. --'''[[User:Svip|Svip]]'''<sup>[[User talk:Svip|talk]]</sup> 19:37, 5 August 2011 (CEST)<br />
<br />
Yes you are talking about the umlaut. It's what literally forced you to make them bulleted separately when the points are the exact same idea--[[User:Icyweaner2999|Icyweaner2999]] 19:52, 5 August 2011 (CEST)<br />
<br />
: Don't go visiting my intentions. I am not talking about the umlaut, I am talking about them being two different works. --'''[[User:Svip|Svip]]'''<sup>[[User talk:Svip|talk]]</sup> 20:05, 5 August 2011 (CEST)<br />
<br />
Just because they're different works doesn't mean they get different bullets--[[User:Icyweaner2999|Icyweaner2999]] 20:15, 5 August 2011 (CEST)<br />
<br />
:The umlaut is only important in the sense that they are different from one another, which is the point I was trying to make originally. They are two separate works, each deserving of it's own line of trivia. -- [[User:DeepSpaceHomer|DeepSpaceHomer]] 20:11, 5 August 2011 (CEST)<br />
<br />
I agree with Icy, rhus it's not community consensus, and just because it was 2 to 1 doesn't make it community consensus--[[Special:Contributions/174.255.112.29|174.255.112.29]]<br />
<br />
:They are two different things and I think it should be separated to make it more clear. --[[User:Superbender|Superbender]] 19:11, 7 August 2011 (CEST)<br />
<br />
Just because they're different works doesn't mean they get different bullets. They still have the same exact title. Why dont you understand that? A separate bullet causes repetition, something that Icy was trying to prevent. I mean, come on people!--[[Special:Contributions/174.255.112.29|174.255.112.29]]<br />
<br />
== Joke or Goof? ==<br />
<br />
Not sure if this is an intended joke or goof when the space whale gets harpooned and yanks the ship. Bender is the first person to hit the wall and then disappears behind the other characters piling on the wall. Then Bender hits the last person to pile on the wall.<br />
<br />
== While in the 4th Dimension ==<br />
<br />
The only quote that seems to sound correct backwards is Hermes, while Amy's quote backwards sounds like something possibly being said in Chinese.<br />
<br />
== (Trivia) "When Bender is told that the [[spacebergs]] are giant diamonds, his pupils momentarily become diamond (lozenge) shaped." ==<br />
<br />
Icyweaner2999 - sorry, why exactly have you removed this from the article? [[User:Conradici|Conradici]] 14:45, 9 August 2011 (CEST)<br />
<br />
Because that's not exactly trivia, nor a goof. It's just a joke scene used for comedy. You only added it for the sake of adding it--[[User:Icyweaner2999|Icyweaner2999]] 14:47, 9 August 2011 (CEST)<br />
<br />
:Well, I didn't notice Bender's eyes when I watched the episode. There's no harm in this piece of trivia being in the article. -- [[User:DeepSpaceHomer|DeepSpaceHomer]] 15:15, 9 August 2011 (CEST)<br />
<br />
::But how is it notable exactly? It was blatant, not trivial--[[User:Icyweaner2999|Icyweaner2999]] 15:17, 9 August 2011 (CEST)</div>Icyweaner2999https://theinfosphere.org/index.php?title=Yo_Leela_Leela&diff=98189Yo Leela Leela2011-08-09T13:21:59Z<p>Icyweaner2999: /* Continuity */</p>

"'''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 />

== Reception ==<br />
<br />
In the original U.S. broadcast, "Yo Leela Leela" scored a 0.7 share among adults aged 18-49, and had 1.407 million total viewers, up about 1000 since "[[The Silence of the Clamps]]".<ref>{{cite web |url=http://tvbythenumbers.zap2it.com/2011/07/22/updated-thursday-cable-ratings-suits-rises-and-burn-notice-steady-but-swamp-people-back-on-top-wilfred-futurama-louie-more/98696/|title=Updated: Thursday Cable Ratings: 'Suits' Rises and 'Burn Notice' Steady, But 'Swamp People' Back on Top + 'Wilfred,' 'Futurama,' 'Louie' & More|author=Seidman, Robert|date=2011-07-22|publisher=TV by the Numbers|accessdate=2011-07-22}}</ref><br />

=== Trivia ===<br />
* Like he was in ''[[Bender's Big Score]]'', Tom Kenny is given a "Special Appearance by" 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 three months and one day 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 />
<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 is a parody 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 words ''{{w|Nickelodeon (TV channel)|Nickelodeon}}'' and ''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 />
*Rumbledy-Hump is a parody of the TV show ''{{w|Yo Gabba Gabba!}}''<br />
*When Zoidberg sings the lyric "Like a horse, a turtle or a cricket", Bender (in his Garglie character) says "I like turtle!", 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.<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 />
<!-- 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 />

<hr />
<div>==Episode Title==<br />
Mobius Dick is also a 2004 novel by Andrew Crumey. [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mobius_Dick]<br />
<br />
== Ships in the Graveyard ==<br />
<br />
I love the ships in the Graveyard - but can't identify them all. The BEST obscure ship has to be the last one - from "Josie & the Pussycats in Outer Space"! I also recognize the "Jupiter" from "Lost in Space" - what are some of the others?<br />
<br />
There's also the ELO space-ship used in album art of A New World Record, Out of The Blue, Discovery (Disco-Very)<br />
<br />
There was an Oceanic ship.. I believe it to be a reference to LOST series, a series done by ABC Family. I am not sure, though. :3<br />
<br />
== Blonde guy? ==<br />
<br />
Who were all the other people who came out of the 4D bowel at the end? I recognized Dr. Who but not the other two.<br />
<br />
Ok, 2 theories on the blond guy seen in the 4D bowels of the space whale ( --[[User:Malorkus|Malorkus]] 23:21, 7 August 2011 (CEST) ):<br />
:1. He is actor {{w|Sam Rockwell}}, wearing the flight suit from the movie {{w|Moon_(film)|Moon}} and the hairdo from his role as {{w|Zaphod Beeblebrox}} in {{w|The_Hitchhiker's_Guide_to_the_Galaxy_(film)|The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy}}.<br />
:2. He is {{w|Richard Branson}}, chairman/founder of {{w|Virgin Galactic}} -- space flight pioneer and presumably gone missing in our near future.<br />
<br />
Also of note, the bowels also seemed to contain 3 Russian Cosmonauts (who later emerge from the whale back at Planet Express) and {{w|Amelia Earhart}} (who we never see later outside of the whale). ( --[[User:Malorkus|Malorkus]] 23:21, 7 August 2011 (CEST) )<br />
<br />
== Allusions ==<br />
<br />
"''Möbius Dick'' is also well known in the mathematics community as the answer to a pun-based math riddle: ''What's non-orientable and lives in the ocean?'' and the title of a 2000 {{w|science-fiction}} novel by {{w|Andrew Crumey}}."<br />
<br />
Because they refer to two separate facts, they should have separate bullet points. Not only that, the puzzle solution and the novel don't even have the same titles. "Möbius Dick" (puzzle, with umlaut) and "Mobius Dick" (novel, without). -- [[User:DeepSpaceHomer|DeepSpaceHomer]] 17:06, 5 August 2011 (CEST)<br />
<br />
But they are similar titles, and both bullet points have the same concept, and start out the SAME EXACT WAY. I do not know what your problem is with compound sentences. This is basically what you want<br />
<br />
*I am a bird<br />
*I am a person<br />
<br />
This is what I want<br />
<br />
*I am a bird and a person<br />
Now do you see what I'm trying to do? --[[User:Icyweaner2999|Icyweaner2999]] 17:15, 5 August 2011 (CEST)<br />
:Only one of the above things is "Möbius Dick", the other is not. It's a bit pedantic, yes, but similarity does not equal sameness. Different titles should mean separate facts. -- [[User:DeepSpaceHomer|DeepSpaceHomer]] 17:25, 5 August 2011 (CEST)<br />
<br />
So you're separating it all because of an umlaut? No way--[[User:Icyweaner2999|Icyweaner2999]] 18:58, 5 August 2011 (CEST)<br />
<br />
: Two bullet points make it easier to read than combining them into one. --'''[[User:Svip|Svip]]'''<sup>[[User talk:Svip|talk]]</sup> 19:03, 5 August 2011 (CEST)<br />
<br />
Getting to the point is easier to read than unnecessarily expanding the article because of a single umlaut--[[User:Icyweaner2999|Icyweaner2999]] 19:10, 5 August 2011 (CEST)<br />
<br />
: I am not talking about the umlaut, I am talking about two different allusions might be easier to overlook if they are separated. After all, we are writing a bullet list, not prose. --'''[[User:Svip|Svip]]'''<sup>[[User talk:Svip|talk]]</sup> 19:37, 5 August 2011 (CEST)<br />
<br />
Yes you are talking about the umlaut. It's what literally forced you to make them bulleted separately when the points are the exact same idea--[[User:Icyweaner2999|Icyweaner2999]] 19:52, 5 August 2011 (CEST)<br />
<br />
: Don't go visiting my intentions. I am not talking about the umlaut, I am talking about them being two different works. --'''[[User:Svip|Svip]]'''<sup>[[User talk:Svip|talk]]</sup> 20:05, 5 August 2011 (CEST)<br />
<br />
Just because they're different works doesn't mean they get different bullets--[[User:Icyweaner2999|Icyweaner2999]] 20:15, 5 August 2011 (CEST)<br />
<br />
:The umlaut is only important in the sense that they are different from one another, which is the point I was trying to make originally. They are two separate works, each deserving of it's own line of trivia. -- [[User:DeepSpaceHomer|DeepSpaceHomer]] 20:11, 5 August 2011 (CEST)<br />
<br />
I agree with Icy, rhus it's not community consensus, and just because it was 2 to 1 doesn't make it community consensus--[[Special:Contributions/174.255.112.29|174.255.112.29]]<br />
<br />
:They are two different things and I think it should be separated to make it more clear. --[[User:Superbender|Superbender]] 19:11, 7 August 2011 (CEST)<br />
<br />
Just because they're different works doesn't mean they get different bullets. They still have the same exact title. Why dont you understand that? A separate bullet causes repetition, something that Icy was trying to prevent. I mean, come on people!--[[Special:Contributions/174.255.112.29|174.255.112.29]]<br />
<br />
: You agree with yourself? How amazing! --'''[[User:Svip|Svip]]'''<sup>[[User talk:Svip|talk]]</sup> 19:21, 7 August 2011 (CEST)<br />
<br />
What are you talking about? You still haven't explained anything about how the separate bullets wouldn't be redundant--[[Special:Contributions/174.255.112.29|174.255.112.29]] 19:31, 7 August 2011 (CEST)<br />
<br />
: I sure have. But also redundancy is not the issue, it was what looks better and is easier to read. If redundancy makes it better, then I am all in favour of redundancy.<br />
: And also, stop treating me like an idiot, I know you are Icyweaner2999. Your commenting and writing style are so similar and you just seem to be continuing the conversation. You are basically evading a block right now. Which is a clear disrespect of our rules. --'''[[User:Svip|Svip]]'''<sup>[[User talk:Svip|talk]]</sup> 19:34, 7 August 2011 (CEST)<br />

== Joke or Goof? ==<br />
<br />
Not sure if this is an intended joke or goof when the space whale gets harpooned and yanks the ship. Bender is the first person to hit the wall and then disappears behind the other characters piling on the wall. Then Bender hits the last person to pile on the wall.<br />
<br />
== While in the 4th Dimension ==<br />
<br />
The only quote that seems to sound correct backwards is Hermes, while Amy's quote backwards sounds like something possibly being said in Chinese.<br />
<br />
== (Trivia) "When Bender is told that the [[spacebergs]] are giant diamonds, his pupils momentarily become diamond (lozenge) shaped." ==<br />
<br />
Icyweaner2999 - sorry, why exactly have you removed this from the article? [[User:Conradici|Conradici]] 14:45, 9 August 2011 (CEST)<br />
<br />
Because that's not exactly trivia, nor a goof. It's just a joke scene used for comedy. You only added it for the sake of adding it--[[User:Icyweaner2999|Icyweaner2999]] 14:47, 9 August 2011 (CEST)<br />
<br />
:Well, I didn't notice Bender's eyes when I watched the episode. There's no harm in this piece of trivia being in the article. -- [[User:DeepSpaceHomer|DeepSpaceHomer]] 15:15, 9 August 2011 (CEST)<br />

<div>== Characters ==<br />
<br />
On Family Guy wiki, character appearances include those appearing on signs, television, and the media. Does something similar apply here? If so, I was wondering if Dora and Boots count as chaacters appearing in the episode.--[[User:Icyweaner2999|Icyweaner2999]] 17:28, 22 July 2011 (CEST)<br />
:Yes, that's how it should be. It's not always like that (especially in the early episodes) but it should be. - [[User:Aki|aki]]<sup>[[User talk:Aki|talk]]</sup> 17:34, 22 July 2011 (CEST)<br />
::Then will we have Dora's page title with the disambiguative "(character)", or the show with "(TV show)" in its page title?--[[User:Icyweaner2999|Icyweaner2999]] 21:09, 22 July 2011 (CEST)<br />
<br />
== Warden Vogel's Accent ==<br />
<br />
Did the Orphanarium bureaucrat always have an Irish accent this pronounced? I don't seem to remember him with an Irish accent, it seemed different.<br />
<br />
== Space Gorilla? ==<br />
<br />
After Leela tells the Orphans about Rumbledy-Hump, the kids ask her to tell another story. Leela starts off by saying one sunny day there was an unfamiliar visitor to Rumbledy-Hump, then the scene cuts. Since Leela is shown to be so uncreative and just retells everything that in fact happened, she's probably just retelling how she showed up at the real Rumbledy-Hump. After the cut her story concludes with a mention of a Space Gorilla who breaths chlorine. Does this mean there's really a Space Gorilla who breaths chlorine? Or is Leela the "Space Gorilla" in the humplings' point of view and somewhere along the line the "chlorine" reference got fabricated?<br />
<br />
== Humplings ==<br />
<br />
I remembered that this was used in ''Rumbledy-hump'' as a name for the species/order/class/whatever of the creatures on the show, but I don't think it was used for the creatures on whom they were based, meaning it could be Leela's unofficial made-up word. If it does indeed mean what I think it means, I think "Humpling" would deserve a page just as [[Four-dimensional space whale]] does. Any input? I thought of this when I was about to create a page for Princess Num Num--[[User:Icyweaner2999|Icyweaner2999]] 14:41, 9 August 2011 (CEST)<br />
:It sure would. Besides, it would be a decent place to discuss the species anyway. --'''[[User:Svip|Svip]]'''<sup>[[User talk:Svip|talk]]</sup> 14:57, 9 August 2011 (CEST)<br />
::Cool. Let me just create the Num Num page so I could set the standard format for Feffernoose and Garglie--[[User:Icyweaner2999|Icyweaner2999]] 15:05, 9 August 2011 (CEST)</div>Icyweaner2999https://theinfosphere.org/index.php?title=Yo_Leela_Leela&diff=98183Yo Leela Leela2011-08-09T12:59:20Z<p>Icyweaner2999: /* Characters */</p>

"'''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 />
* Like he was in ''[[Bender's Big Score]]'', Tom Kenny is given a "Special Appearance by" 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 three months and one day 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 />
<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 is a parody 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 words ''{{w|Nickelodeon (TV channel)|Nickelodeon}}'' and ''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 />
*Rumbledy-Hump is a parody of the TV show ''{{w|Yo Gabba Gabba!}}''<br />
*When Zoidberg sings the lyric "Like a horse, a turtle or a cricket", Bender (in his Garglie character) says "I like turtle!", 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.<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 />

"'''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 />
* Like he was in ''[[Bender's Big Score]]'', Tom Kenny is given a "Special Appearance by" 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 three months and one day 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 />
<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 is a parody 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 words ''{{w|Nickelodeon (TV channel)|Nickelodeon}}'' and ''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 />
*Rumbledy-Hump is a parody of the TV show ''{{w|Yo Gabba Gabba!}}''<br />
*When Zoidberg sings the lyric "Like a horse, a turtle or a cricket", Bender (in his Garglie character) says "I like turtle!", 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.<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 />

<div>==Episode Title==<br />
Mobius Dick is also a 2004 novel by Andrew Crumey. [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mobius_Dick]<br />
<br />
== Ships in the Graveyard ==<br />
<br />
I love the ships in the Graveyard - but can't identify them all. The BEST obscure ship has to be the last one - from "Josie & the Pussycats in Outer Space"! I also recognize the "Jupiter" from "Lost in Space" - what are some of the others?<br />
<br />
There's also the ELO space-ship used in album art of A New World Record, Out of The Blue, Discovery (Disco-Very)<br />
<br />
There was an Oceanic ship.. I believe it to be a reference to LOST series, a series done by ABC Family. I am not sure, though. :3<br />
<br />
== Blonde guy? ==<br />
<br />
Who were all the other people who came out of the 4D bowel at the end? I recognized Dr. Who but not the other two.<br />
<br />
Ok, 2 theories on the blond guy seen in the 4D bowels of the space whale ( --[[User:Malorkus|Malorkus]] 23:21, 7 August 2011 (CEST) ):<br />
:1. He is actor {{w|Sam Rockwell}}, wearing the flight suit from the movie {{w|Moon_(film)|Moon}} and the hairdo from his role as {{w|Zaphod Beeblebrox}} in {{w|The_Hitchhiker's_Guide_to_the_Galaxy_(film)|The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy}}.<br />
:2. He is {{w|Richard Branson}}, chairman/founder of {{w|Virgin Galactic}} -- space flight pioneer and presumably gone missing in our near future.<br />
<br />
Also of note, the bowels also seemed to contain 3 Russian Cosmonauts (who later emerge from the whale back at Planet Express) and {{w|Amelia Earhart}} (who we never see later outside of the whale). ( --[[User:Malorkus|Malorkus]] 23:21, 7 August 2011 (CEST) )<br />
<br />
== Allusions ==<br />
<br />
"''Möbius Dick'' is also well known in the mathematics community as the answer to a pun-based math riddle: ''What's non-orientable and lives in the ocean?'' and the title of a 2000 {{w|science-fiction}} novel by {{w|Andrew Crumey}}."<br />
<br />
Because they refer to two separate facts, they should have separate bullet points. Not only that, the puzzle solution and the novel don't even have the same titles. "Möbius Dick" (puzzle, with umlaut) and "Mobius Dick" (novel, without). -- [[User:DeepSpaceHomer|DeepSpaceHomer]] 17:06, 5 August 2011 (CEST)<br />
<br />
But they are similar titles, and both bullet points have the same concept, and start out the SAME EXACT WAY. I do not know what your problem is with compound sentences. This is basically what you want<br />
<br />
*I am a bird<br />
*I am a person<br />
<br />
This is what I want<br />
<br />
*I am a bird and a person<br />
Now do you see what I'm trying to do? --[[User:Icyweaner2999|Icyweaner2999]] 17:15, 5 August 2011 (CEST)<br />
:Only one of the above things is "Möbius Dick", the other is not. It's a bit pedantic, yes, but similarity does not equal sameness. Different titles should mean separate facts. -- [[User:DeepSpaceHomer|DeepSpaceHomer]] 17:25, 5 August 2011 (CEST)<br />
<br />
So you're separating it all because of an umlaut? No way--[[User:Icyweaner2999|Icyweaner2999]] 18:58, 5 August 2011 (CEST)<br />
<br />
: Two bullet points make it easier to read than combining them into one. --'''[[User:Svip|Svip]]'''<sup>[[User talk:Svip|talk]]</sup> 19:03, 5 August 2011 (CEST)<br />
<br />
Getting to the point is easier to read than unnecessarily expanding the article because of a single umlaut--[[User:Icyweaner2999|Icyweaner2999]] 19:10, 5 August 2011 (CEST)<br />
<br />
: I am not talking about the umlaut, I am talking about two different allusions might be easier to overlook if they are separated. After all, we are writing a bullet list, not prose. --'''[[User:Svip|Svip]]'''<sup>[[User talk:Svip|talk]]</sup> 19:37, 5 August 2011 (CEST)<br />
<br />
Yes you are talking about the umlaut. It's what literally forced you to make them bulleted separately when the points are the exact same idea--[[User:Icyweaner2999|Icyweaner2999]] 19:52, 5 August 2011 (CEST)<br />
<br />
: Don't go visiting my intentions. I am not talking about the umlaut, I am talking about them being two different works. --'''[[User:Svip|Svip]]'''<sup>[[User talk:Svip|talk]]</sup> 20:05, 5 August 2011 (CEST)<br />
<br />
Just because they're different works doesn't mean they get different bullets--[[User:Icyweaner2999|Icyweaner2999]] 20:15, 5 August 2011 (CEST)<br />
<br />
:The umlaut is only important in the sense that they are different from one another, which is the point I was trying to make originally. They are two separate works, each deserving of it's own line of trivia. -- [[User:DeepSpaceHomer|DeepSpaceHomer]] 20:11, 5 August 2011 (CEST)<br />
<br />
I agree with Icy, rhus it's not community consensus, and just because it was 2 to 1 doesn't make it community consensus--[[Special:Contributions/174.255.112.29|174.255.112.29]]<br />
<br />
:They are two different things and I think it should be separated to make it more clear. --[[User:Superbender|Superbender]] 19:11, 7 August 2011 (CEST)<br />
<br />
Just because they're different works doesn't mean they get different bullets. They still have the same exact title. Why dont you understand that? A separate bullet causes repetition, something that Icy was trying to prevent. I mean, come on people!--[[Special:Contributions/174.255.112.29|174.255.112.29]]<br />
<br />
: You agree with yourself? How amazing! --'''[[User:Svip|Svip]]'''<sup>[[User talk:Svip|talk]]</sup> 19:21, 7 August 2011 (CEST)<br />
<br />
What are you talking about? You still haven't explained anything about how the separate bullets wouldn't be redundant--[[Special:Contributions/174.255.112.29|174.255.112.29]] 19:31, 7 August 2011 (CEST)<br />

== Joke or Goof? ==<br />
<br />
Not sure if this is an intended joke or goof when the space whale gets harpooned and yanks the ship. Bender is the first person to hit the wall and then disappears behind the other characters piling on the wall. Then Bender hits the last person to pile on the wall.<br />
<br />
== While in the 4th Dimension ==<br />
<br />
The only quote that seems to sound correct backwards is Hermes, while Amy's quote backwards sounds like something possibly being said in Chinese.<br />
<br />
== (Trivia) "When Bender is told that the [[spacebergs]] are giant diamonds, his pupils momentarily become diamond (lozenge) shaped." ==<br />

Because that's not exactly trivia, nor a goof. It's just a joke scene used for comedy. You only added it for the sake of adding it--[[User:Icyweaner2999|Icyweaner2999]] 14:47, 9 August 2011 (CEST)</div>Icyweaner2999https://theinfosphere.org/index.php?title=Talk:M%C3%B6bius_Dick&diff=98178Talk:Möbius Dick2011-08-09T12:47:56Z<p>Icyweaner2999: /* (Trivia) "When Bender is told that the spacebergs are giant diamonds, his pupils momentarily become diamond (lozenge) shaped." */</p>

<div>==Episode Title==<br />
Mobius Dick is also a 2004 novel by Andrew Crumey. [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mobius_Dick]<br />
<br />
== Ships in the Graveyard ==<br />
<br />
I love the ships in the Graveyard - but can't identify them all. The BEST obscure ship has to be the last one - from "Josie & the Pussycats in Outer Space"! I also recognize the "Jupiter" from "Lost in Space" - what are some of the others?<br />
<br />
There's also the ELO space-ship used in album art of A New World Record, Out of The Blue, Discovery (Disco-Very)<br />
<br />
There was an Oceanic ship.. I believe it to be a reference to LOST series, a series done by ABC Family. I am not sure, though. :3<br />
<br />
== Blonde guy? ==<br />
<br />
Who were all the other people who came out of the 4D bowel at the end? I recognized Dr. Who but not the other two.<br />
<br />
Ok, 2 theories on the blond guy seen in the 4D bowels of the space whale ( --[[User:Malorkus|Malorkus]] 23:21, 7 August 2011 (CEST) ):<br />
:1. He is actor {{w|Sam Rockwell}}, wearing the flight suit from the movie {{w|Moon_(film)|Moon}} and the hairdo from his role as {{w|Zaphod Beeblebrox}} in {{w|The_Hitchhiker's_Guide_to_the_Galaxy_(film)|The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy}}.<br />
:2. He is {{w|Richard Branson}}, chairman/founder of {{w|Virgin Galactic}} -- space flight pioneer and presumably gone missing in our near future.<br />
<br />
Also of note, the bowels also seemed to contain 3 Russian Cosmonauts (who later emerge from the whale back at Planet Express) and {{w|Amelia Earhart}} (who we never see later outside of the whale). ( --[[User:Malorkus|Malorkus]] 23:21, 7 August 2011 (CEST) )<br />
<br />
== Allusions ==<br />
<br />
"''Möbius Dick'' is also well known in the mathematics community as the answer to a pun-based math riddle: ''What's non-orientable and lives in the ocean?'' and the title of a 2000 {{w|science-fiction}} novel by {{w|Andrew Crumey}}."<br />
<br />
Because they refer to two separate facts, they should have separate bullet points. Not only that, the puzzle solution and the novel don't even have the same titles. "Möbius Dick" (puzzle, with umlaut) and "Mobius Dick" (novel, without). -- [[User:DeepSpaceHomer|DeepSpaceHomer]] 17:06, 5 August 2011 (CEST)<br />
<br />
But they are similar titles, and both bullet points have the same concept, and start out the SAME EXACT WAY. I do not know what your problem is with compound sentences. This is basically what you want<br />
<br />
*I am a bird<br />
*I am a person<br />
<br />
This is what I want<br />
<br />
*I am a bird and a person<br />
Now do you see what I'm trying to do? --[[User:Icyweaner2999|Icyweaner2999]] 17:15, 5 August 2011 (CEST)<br />
:Only one of the above things is "Möbius Dick", the other is not. It's a bit pedantic, yes, but similarity does not equal sameness. Different titles should mean separate facts. -- [[User:DeepSpaceHomer|DeepSpaceHomer]] 17:25, 5 August 2011 (CEST)<br />
<br />
So you're separating it all because of an umlaut? No way--[[User:Icyweaner2999|Icyweaner2999]] 18:58, 5 August 2011 (CEST)<br />
<br />
: Two bullet points make it easier to read than combining them into one. --'''[[User:Svip|Svip]]'''<sup>[[User talk:Svip|talk]]</sup> 19:03, 5 August 2011 (CEST)<br />
<br />
Getting to the point is easier to read than unnecessarily expanding the article because of a single umlaut--[[User:Icyweaner2999|Icyweaner2999]] 19:10, 5 August 2011 (CEST)<br />
<br />
: I am not talking about the umlaut, I am talking about two different allusions might be easier to overlook if they are separated. After all, we are writing a bullet list, not prose. --'''[[User:Svip|Svip]]'''<sup>[[User talk:Svip|talk]]</sup> 19:37, 5 August 2011 (CEST)<br />
<br />
Yes you are talking about the umlaut. It's what literally forced you to make them bulleted separately when the points are the exact same idea--[[User:Icyweaner2999|Icyweaner2999]] 19:52, 5 August 2011 (CEST)<br />
<br />
: Don't go visiting my intentions. I am not talking about the umlaut, I am talking about them being two different works. --'''[[User:Svip|Svip]]'''<sup>[[User talk:Svip|talk]]</sup> 20:05, 5 August 2011 (CEST)<br />
<br />
Just because they're different works doesn't mean they get different bullets--[[User:Icyweaner2999|Icyweaner2999]] 20:15, 5 August 2011 (CEST)<br />
<br />
:The umlaut is only important in the sense that they are different from one another, which is the point I was trying to make originally. They are two separate works, each deserving of it's own line of trivia. -- [[User:DeepSpaceHomer|DeepSpaceHomer]] 20:11, 5 August 2011 (CEST)<br />
<br />
I agree with Icy, rhus it's not community consensus, and just because it was 2 to 1 doesn't make it community consensus--[[Special:Contributions/174.255.112.29|174.255.112.29]]<br />
<br />
:They are two different things and I think it should be separated to make it more clear. --[[User:Superbender|Superbender]] 19:11, 7 August 2011 (CEST)<br />
<br />
Just because they're different works doesn't mean they get different bullets. They still have the same exact title. Why dont you understand that? A separate bullet causes repetition, something that Icy was trying to prevent. I mean, come on people!--[[Special:Contributions/174.255.112.29|174.255.112.29]]<br />
<br />
: You agree with yourself? How amazing! --'''[[User:Svip|Svip]]'''<sup>[[User talk:Svip|talk]]</sup> 19:21, 7 August 2011 (CEST)<br />
<br />
What are you talking about? You still haven't explained anything about how the separate bullets wouldn't be redundant--[[Special:Contributions/174.255.112.29|174.255.112.29]] 19:31, 7 August 2011 (CEST)<br />
