=== Act I: "We can all fight when we're drunk!" ===
When [[Philip J. Fry|Fry]], [[Bender Bending Rodr&iacute;guez|Bender]] and [[Turanga Leela|Leela]] are unable to decide on which beer to buy, Leela suggests that they brew their own. Meanwhile, [[Professor Hubert J. Farnsworth|the Professor]], [[Hermes Conrad|Hermes]] and [[LaBarbara Conrad|LaBarbara]] are yelling at [[Cubert Farnsworth|Cubert]] and [[Dwight Conrad|Dwight]] for being expelled from boarding school for salting a [[Brett Blob|bully]]. While the crew brew beer in Bender, the kids wander the office. After Cubert and Dwight trick the crew into wasting a week on a fake delivery to Dogdoo 8 (which, unlike Dogdoo 7, doesn't exist), Hermes and the Professor force them to get jobs. The start a delivery company, ''[[Awesome Express]]''.

Meanwhile, [[Professor Hubert J. Farnsworth|the Professor]], [[Hermes Conrad|Hermes]] and [[LaBarbara Conrad|LaBarbara]] are yelling at [[Cubert Farnsworth|Cubert]] and [[Dwight Conrad|Dwight]] for being suspended from boarding school for salting [[Brett Blob|a bully]]. While the crew brew beer in Bender, the kids wander the office. After Cubert and Dwight trick the crew into wasting a week on a fake delivery to Dogdoo 8 (the universe ends after Dogdoo 7), Hermes and the Professor force their sons to get jobs. They start a delivery company, [[Awesome Express]].


===Act II: Those newspapers won'ts delivers themselves!===
=== Act II: "Those newspapers won'ts delivers themselveses!" ===
The company is little more than a paper route. The kids order a space ship from a magazine for use on the deliveries. Bender is now swollen with beer. [[Sal]] drops off the papers for delivery and the boys get to work. A montage later and they are very successful.

[[Sal]] drops off the papers for delivery and the boys get to work. A montage later and they are very successful. Awesome Express becomes more profitable than [[Planet Express]], but this fails to impress Hermes or the Professor. Rejected, the boys decide to crush Planet Express instead, and hire away the crew. The fathers hope to fight back with their loyal dregs, namely [[Scruffy]] and [[Zoidberg]]. Before they get very far, Cubert is able to inherit Planet Express after discovering the Professor had been declared legally dead three years ago. They rename the entire company Awesome Express.


===Act III: We don't work for you anymore.===
=== Act III: "You rotten kids!" ===
Awesome Express is now more profitable than [[Planet Express]]. After failing to impress their fathers, they decide to crush them. The crew have been made a better offer and have started working for Awesome Express. The fathers hope to fight back with their loyal dregs. Due to the Professor having been declared legally dead three years ago, Cubert inherits the company and renames it Awesome Express.
Hermes and the Professor leave the building, depressed. Bender "gives birth" to an ale (Benderbrau). Dwight and Cubert's failure to actually deliver the newspapers becomes apparent,  they go to their fathers, who had been feeling sorry for themselves, for help. The four gather up the undelivered papers and deliver them. They head to the Blob household to apologise for breaking the window. Hermes and the Professor fight [[Horrible Gelatinous Blob|Mr. Blob]] and take a severe beating, ending up in hospital. Mr. Blob visits them to apologise, Bender shares some of his beer with the men, and Brett learns to be more like his father, by digesting Dwight and Cubert.

=== Trivia ===
*The episode's [[list of title captions|title caption]] is similar to that of "[[Forty Percent Leadbelly]]".
*The commentary for this episode was recorded ''before'' it aired on [[television]], due to [[Bumper Robinson]] being out of the {{cat|countrie|country}}. They had to wait for his return to re-record some lines.
*Bender produces 5 gallons, 6 ounces of beer, or 646 liquid ounces (128 ounces to a gallon). Assuming that, in the [[31st century]], the [[United States]] customary fluid ounce is still defined as 29.574 milliliters, that equates to ~19.1 liters of [[Bendërbrāu]].


===Act V: We'd like to have a word with your daddy.===
=== Allusions ===
The four gather up the undelivered papers and deliver them. They head to the [[Horrible Gelatinous Blob|Blob]] household to apologise for breaking the window. Hermes and the Professor fight H. G. and take a severe beating, ending up in hospital. H. G. visits them to apologise, and Brett learns to be more like his father.
*[[Bendërbrāu]] is an allusion to a few things:
**The beer's name comes from an actual beer that the ''[[Futurama]]'' staff brewed in their offices at the time of production.<ref>{{cite commentary|episode=The Route of All Evil|volume=3|disc=2}}</ref>
**When the Bendërbrāu is growing inside Bender, the process is frequently compared to pregnancy.
**The bottle label for Bendërbrāu says that it is a {{w|steam beer}}, a style of beer which is most popular in California.
* Fry, Leela, and Bender watch an episode of the MTV reality show ''The Real World'', which now has a season on the sun. Leela's line about the apartment on the sun being expensive is based on a common complaint about the show using upscale, highly expensive houses and apartments for the cast to live in, which an actual person with a nine to five job wouldn't be able to afford.
*Hermes sings a parody of the {{w|Bob Marley}} song "{{w|Get Up, Stand Up}}" while sorting his papers before Cubert and Dwight come in and dissemble his office.
*The prince on the small asteroid, who is later knocked out by paper and speaks [[French]] is a reference to ''{{w|The Little Prince}}''.
*The dog chasing Dwight and Cubert (Awesome Express) as they fly through an asteroid field is eaten by a {{sw|Exogorth|giant space slug}} extending from an {{w|asteroid}}, a parody of a scene in ''[[Star Wars]] {{sw|Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back|Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back}}'', in which the {{sw|Millennium Falcon}} flies out from inside a similar beast as it tries in vain to re-eat {{the ship}}.
*The various brands of alcohol in 7^11 contain references to real-life alcoholic beverages.
** Pabst Blue Robot is a reference to {{w|Pabst Blue Ribbon}}.
** Kleinz is a reference to the {{w|Klein Bottle}}, a "non-orientable" surface with only 1 side in Euclidean space. The bottles the Kleinz comes in are Klein Bottles.
** Olde Fortran is named after {{w|Old English 800}} and the computer programming "language" {{w|Fortran}}.
**St Pauli Exclusion Principle Girl is named after {{w|St. Pauli Girl}} and the {{w|Pauli Exclusion Principle}}.
**Löbrau is a reference to the Octoberfest Beer {{w|Löwenbräu}}

===Trivia===
[[File:Benderbrau.jpg|thumb|Label indicating that [[Bendërbrāu]] is a steam beer.]]
*The commentary for this episode was recorded ''before'' it aired on television, due to the actor who played Dwight being out of the country. They had to wait for his return to re-record some lines.
*The {{w|periodic table}} seen on Dwight's lunchbox has been outdated since 1997 when the elements Hassium and Meitnerium were added; whoever was responsible obviously wasn't aware of the additions. Further elements have been added since the episode was made, and at least one of the many scientists on staff would have been aware of the growing nature of the table, so perhaps they chose to omit these elements.
**This can be chalked up to 31st century people's bad perception of the 20th/[[21st century]].
*The Little Prince speaks a few words of French when hit by a newspaper, despite previous claims that French was a dead language {{et|2ACV10}}.
**A "dead language" is not necessarily a language that is no longer spoken. It could be one that is no longer changing, like {{w|Latin}}. Further, perhaps being an inhabitant of an asteroid immunizes the Little Prince from language changes on Earth.
**Furthermore, commonly used phrases (such as <i>Au Revoir</i>) from dead languages often persist into living ones.
*When pumping the [[Bendërbrāu]] out of Bender, Fry proclaims that they've created an {{w|ale}} and earlier, wanted Bender to "birth" a lager so he can take it to a ball game. However, the bottle label says that it's a cold-fusion {{w|steam beer}}, which is neither an ale nor a lager, but a type of beer that has taste characteristics of both.
*When Sal delivers the newspapers, a tall stack of papers appear, only to have no stack visible when the frame changes.
*Cubert puts a sticker on the side of the bicycle ship to avoid "explosive decompression", but the ship doesn't have a pressurized chamber, the top is just open.
**The kids are probably just playing pretend. Just because they have a paper business that put their fathers' delivery company out of business and find Fox's TV shows {{cat|s=no|children|infantile}} doesn't mean they can't act like kids.
*The ship is painted over when Awesome Express takes over, but when the Conrads and the Farnsworths deliver the undelivered papers it reverts to its old look.

"The Route of All Evil" is the forty-fourth episode of Futurama, the twelfth of the third production season and the third of the fifth broadcast season. It aired on 8 December, 2002, on Fox. It is the episode airing furthest from when it was produced. Cubert and Dwight form a competing business to Planet Express.

The Story

Act I: "We can all fight when we're drunk!"

When Fry, Leela and Bender are unable to decide on which beer to buy, Leela suggests that they brew their own. Meanwhile, the Professor, Hermes and LaBarbara are yelling at Cubert and Dwight for being suspended from boarding school for salting a bully. While the crew brew beer in Bender, the kids wander the office. After Cubert and Dwight trick the crew into wasting a week on a fake delivery to Dogdoo 8 (the universe ends after Dogdoo 7), Hermes and the Professor force their sons to get jobs. They start a delivery company, Awesome Express.

Act II: "Those newspapers won'ts delivers themselveses!"

The kids order a pedal-powered space ship from a magazine for use on the deliveries, and start a paper route. Bender is now swollen with beer. Sal drops off the papers for delivery and the boys get to work. A montage later and they are very successful. Awesome Express becomes more profitable than Planet Express, but this fails to impress Hermes or the Professor. Rejected, the boys decide to crush Planet Express instead, and hire away the crew. The fathers hope to fight back with their loyal dregs, namely Scruffy and Zoidberg. Before they get very far, Cubert is able to inherit Planet Express after discovering the Professor had been declared legally dead three years ago. They rename the entire company Awesome Express.

Act III: "You rotten kids!"

Hermes and the Professor leave the building, depressed. Bender "gives birth" to an ale (Benderbrau). Dwight and Cubert's failure to actually deliver the newspapers becomes apparent, they go to their fathers, who had been feeling sorry for themselves, for help. The four gather up the undelivered papers and deliver them. They head to the Blob household to apologise for breaking the window. Hermes and the Professor fight Mr. Blob and take a severe beating, ending up in hospital. Mr. Blob visits them to apologise, Bender shares some of his beer with the men, and Brett learns to be more like his father, by digesting Dwight and Cubert.
