Apparently, Bender running away is a common occurance in etween eps. After all, he had that pad of "pleas for attention." And this time he meant it.

By Langly: But it was not just ordinary water, he siat, yet nothing but plain ordinary water laced with nothing more but a few spoonfuls of lsd. Well globviously. But it's still pretty much the exact same joke from I Second That Emotion. Professor: This device that was supposed to give Bender an unusual ability is actually doing nothing! Someone else: Wow, so Bender was doing it all on his own. Professor: No, wait, it's actually doing something. Both jokes follow that pattern. Also I remember The Simpsons stealing that joke too(in that Tap Dancing episode, which came well after I Second That Emotion)...it's getting way overdone now. By Brainsluggo: or gave us a little hint of Fry's difficulty with Leela working with all these hunky nekkid men in the locker room Not again. Haven't we already been through this? It would be lame if every episode dealt with Fry or Leela's shippery reactions to every event(wasn't it enough that Fry tried to pat Leela's butt?). We've seen Fry get jealous before, we don't need to waste time seeing him freak out because she's showering with other men(which she has also done before). And bad puns. Wrath of Conrail? Owwwwwwwwww Haha, come on, that was great. Puns rock. edited because this material has already been covered(I'm an idiot and forgot to read page 2)PS, can anyone transcribe Martha Stewart's line about prostitutes decorating with festive gourds(or whatever the hell she said?). That was funny. There was a lot of funny stuff, and it sounds like there was a lot that I missed, I wish I had this on tape.

Why would Fry be in the Mets' dressing room?

It's not a "ship" issue; it's a humor opportunity. When the generator was unplugged, he would've been reminded that he comes from the Stupid Days, before genetic engineering. (Those poor, poor 20th Century women!)
Fry: "Leela, even though you shower after every game with several beefy, handsome men who make me feel...well, inadequate--plus a wrinkly coach and a pimply little teenage blernsbatboy who also make me feel inadequate--I want you to know that I support you and wish you the best." Leela: "Thanks, Fry." Fry: "I...I gotta go!" (bursts into tears and runs off wailing) Leela: (exasperated) "Ugh."
It would be no more "shippy" than the "Is there a Mrs. Queequeg?" line from The Day The Earth Stood Stupid. Okay, maybe a little shippy.
Hell yeah, some episodes could easily be an hour long. I'm getting sick of looking at my watch at the first commercial break and saying, "...the hell? Are the segments getting shorter?"

Again, when/why would Fry be in there?

What a great episode, an instant classic. Had me laughin out loud sooo much.. and i dint really understand alot of the Iron Cook or even some Star Wars stuff in there. Zoidberg, despite being hilariously funny (and miserable poor), seems different than he used to. There was something soooo good about the sad groans he would give when other characters made fun of him, like in the earlier seasons.
And especially, Morbo was brilliant. He needs to be on the show more, hes freakin hilarious.. I love his voice and how he dogs the Earth all the time.
"hmm... so humans have easily injured knees..."

Originally posted by Shadowstar: Oh, and Martha Stewart said: In the English countryside, many prostitutes decorate their wounds with festive gourds. Not wounds. Rooms. It sounds like rooms, and the closed captioning said rooms. And rooms makes more sense. Not to be rude or anything, just presenting the rationale. And Allen - when did we see Zoidy's first name before? I sure don't remember it.

MadCapper, I couldn't find the PEEL thread, but someone pointed out that Zoiby's first name's been sitting in the character bios at the otherwise-empty official FOX Futurama page all this time. EDIT: Found it! Forgot the bloomin' search only covers one forum at a time.

Whenever FOX put Futurama content on their siteActually, BS, there was an earlier thread - I'm looking for it in the website forum. Found it!So judging from that, we've "known" Zoidy's first name for about 6 months.

This episode was awesome! I love Iron Chef and the parody was great. it was a bit predictable that the secret "essence" wasn't going to be so special after all, but a darned good episode. A solid A from me!

Hi I just seen it and I thought it was ok Bender was so sweet, not being a jackass, and the other charatacers where funny at the table while Bender sevres them. "Amy you cute so I got you a pony" hehe I like the Iron chef show it was really cool and it's good to see Bublegum Tate again.

Originally posted by McGrady: B.Frankendorfer, I don't exactly understand what you are getting at with the Simpsons; most episodes prior to season 10 had an overall plot. Often the newer episodes jump around. The jokes were getting recycled and the characters started behaving out of character, not to mention some problems with the comedy changing from a disfunctional family unit to the crazy life of Homer Simpson. The new stuff added to the Simpsons has been really screwed up, and more and more episodes being based on guest stars... I think that is why many people dislike the current Simpsons compared to back in its prime. Ahhh, yes now I can see someone agreeing with you about the "current" state of The Simpsons (although I don't, and still watch it religiously, laughing out loud every week), but I was describing that annoying "think-they-know-it-all" internet geeks have actually been complaining about The Simpsons since around Season 4 and actually started to get really annoying, and really fucking pompous for a bunch of people who watch a cartoon around Season 5/Season 6. In fact I have recently read an old post on alt.tv.simpsons that said that "Itchy and Scratchy:The Movie" was the "Worst Episode Ever", the guy even wrote that word for word in his post, what a pompous ass... I would rather not see the community of Futurama fans get like this just because there were one or two bad epiosdes, and I was only referencing something that I had seen in the past. Oh, and VelourFog- I'm sorry if I sounded like I was "quasi-flaming" you before. I actually agreed with what you said, but I guess it didn't read like that in the posts that I made.
