Am I the only one who didn't like the monster mash parody?
I didn't much care for it either, mostly because they already used that song in The Simpsons and that song in general has been overused in the TV industry. Let's try to stay creative here people and make up your own songs like How Hermes Requisitioned His Groove Back - Love that song. As much as you all are jumping on flesheatingbull, as I stated in my initial reaction post, I don't see why episodes need to have an agenda, or at least every other episode. If you go back to classic Futurama, they were easy, fun to watch, and smart nerdy comedy. Now it's just become The Simpsons in Space.

Zoidberg apparently had alive parents even though they should have died breeding...
Zoidberg's parents are not alive. The one time he's been shown as a child with a family member, she made reference to the fact that his parents are dead. Go and actually watch the show. Maybe then you'll learn what you're talking about.
As I recall (and I've seen that episode many times), they don't reference that. It is implied that it's his mother who doesn't want him to be a doctor, comedian, etc.
I didn't forget the line from Taste of Freedom (though I didn't remember the exact phrasing as it's been a few years since I've seen it), but it always seemed pretty obvious to me that even if it was technically acknowledging his parents' death, it was really just a play on something that Jewish parents already stereotypically say to their kids all the time. Perhaps being from a Jewish family (on my mother's side) plays into that. So what you're saying is that you knew what you were saying was misleading if not wrong, but decided to throw it out there anyway. Nice. Good job. So you're acknowledging that you've grossly taken everything you were referring to out of context? Excellent. That's just super. Since it's been said a couple of times that people would rather discuss this episode than "Futurama isn't as good as it used to be" in this thread, I'll respond to your long post earlier in a more appropriate thread when I get a chance. Expect red dancing text.

Bender's reaction to Fry's remark about Mega-Hermes' shiny ass made this episode.

If they ever make another video game, I want Mecha Hermes to be a playable character.
(Incidentally, we do need another Futurama video game. Get it on, show's producers!)
Agreed. If they ever do make another game, they should do chapters, and have up to 7 chapters. Each chapter focuses on one of the 3 main-duo and then maybe one or two chapters can focus on Hermes and other characters, and we could play as mecha-hermes as like a bonus or DLC or something! That would be sweet! It would also be cool if the game had kind of a free-roam mode (kind of like The Simpsons Hit and Run, but BETTER since this is Futurama!). A man can dream, only a man can dream..........

Yep, Mecha Hermes seems like the perfect temporary invulnerability/whatever bonus.

The first time I watched this ep, I sided more with the "This plot doesn't make sense!1!!!" people, even thought I still enjoyed it. Now that I've seen it a few times, it actually seems extremely well constructed. There were two things specifically that convinced me: how Zoidberg mentioned he tried to eat Hermes' body parts but they were too spicy, and how Roberto was obsessed with LaBarbara's skin during the mugging scene. However implausible the ending was, the episode sets it up well, and legitimizes Roberto eating Hermes' skin and subsequent melting from it. In the end, I think this is one of those episodes that I will enjoy watching reruns of.

I like how Helper from "Godfellas" is dead now.
