Thx for helping. I spent 20-30 minutes googling for an episode but couldn't find it, so let's see if some crowdsourcing can solve the problem. Me and a friend distinctively remember watching an episode of Futurama where the crew went to some kind of a sporting event that started out looking just like a real world sport and Fry saying something like: "I know this sport" and then it just really starts to get weird. I think I remember monsters entering, eating players and some kind of big bird that took a player or something like that. Now first we thought it was Blernsball but after watching two episodes where it features ("Fear of a Bot Planet" & "A Leela of Her Own") it fits but not quite, no monsters eating players or big birds Are we confusing stuff or is there such an episode that I've missed? Please help.

Hmmm, I was the only one remembering it then I'd tend to believe you more easily but now it's both me and my friend...

Time Keeps On Slipping? Sounds like the bit where the Professor creates those mutants to play against the Harlem Globetrotters.
Yeah good suggestion but don't think that's it... Me and my friend are probably just crazy

You're sure it's not that, Zeatrix? The only other solution I can think of is that your memory is a bit jumbled. In "Fear of a Bot Planet," which is the closest episode to what you described besides that comic, a player enters the field from the bullpen riding a giant spider (it doesn't attack anyone, though), and at the game the hologram of Hermes is carried away by a normal-sized bird...is that what you're thinking of?

I saw that episode this morning and no, it wasn't what I was thinking of. Must have been a synchronous dream me and my pal had

Yeah I considered that too, but since we're both fairly sure it was Futurama it seems unlikely.

Yeah, that epsiode doesn't ring a bell. And if nobody here knows it, it's likely not an episode. I mean, after all, this is a futurama forum, therefore we're all pretty big fans. 95% of us have seen every episode countless times and have them memorized.
Perhaps your both thinking of two different shows? I mean, maybe you remember an episode of futurama, maybe fear of a bot planet, like the others are suggesting, mixed with another episode of something else. Maybe you combined the two episodes of whatever together and thought that it was just one episode of futurama. If that makes sense..
But yeah, all in all, it doesn't seem familiar. no.

Zeatrix, perhaps the giant bird is a subconscious representation of the homosexual yearning you and your friend have for each other.
