I'm not scared of this thread!!! >
I thought that was weak, but I did get a few chuckles at parralel universe studios, fox sign, bender being hot water heater and zoidy's ink. And now you know what I think! Don't you all feel special? admit it, you do dont you?

Other great gags nobody mentioned: The Variety cover, Bender with Calculon's checkbook, "As Seen on the Tar Channel." And that's about it.
Overall, unfunny.
And Calculon didn't know Bender because... oh, because we're all faithful Simpsons viewers and we already know that all powerful (Krusty, Mr. Burns) people forget the main characters (Bart, Homer).
And I've heard Hank Azaria playing a generic old Jewish man before, as well as an old Jewish former Hollywood bigwig.
Too much recycled Simpsons, not enough new satire, not funny enough, no cool new Amy costumes, no alien language 2 (although we managed to solve it this morning anyway, so screw them)....
And come on, couldn't they have come up with some good new LA jokes?

Originally posted by The Baz: I thought actually the funniest joke was about the Los Angles subway which had to be the biggest waste of city tax dollars... EVER. Hey, I resent that! I used to live around the corner from the Hollywood/Vine stop, and work directly across the street from the Wilshire/Western stop. It was incredibly useful for me, and for the 20 other people who commuted from eastern Hollywood to Koreatown (plus the 12 people who commuted the opposite way). Now I live half a mile past the end of the subway and work about 20 miles past the end of the subway, so I guess I'm in the same boat as the other 8 million Angelenos who helped pay for it. Actually, the problem wasn't with the idea of a subway, but with the incredibly corrupt process used to plan and build the system. Gosh, who would have guessed that when you appoint people who aren't in any way accountable for their actions they'd do a bad job planning out a public transportation system? But hey, after the subway fiasco, the MTA board sure straightened up and handled the driver's strike well, didn't they? In order to save $12 million, they spent $180 million and crippled the city for a month, but they sure showed those bus drivers.... Gosh, who would have guessed that when you don't hold people accountable for a screwup as big as the subway that they'll screw up again? Oh yeah, and Steve Soboroff wants to be our mayor now....

I didn't like it at all. It spent a good minutes or so on that stupid black and white film that just bored me to death, and the jokes were few and far between.
Worst episode ever. I haven't seen 3-7 yet though. C-.

Yeah - that's what really disappointed me about that last Simpsons - nothing really happened to N'S(t)ync, just the guy falling out of the Matrix move. Oh well. It did create the best catchphrase in a while, though - Yvan eht nioj! ------------ Yvan eht nioj! Yvan eht nioj!

A clock! Fine! I don't hope it's some kind of death-clock. But you couldn't do that to me, I'm Ainoth, the loveable rascal =;-))) Ainoth

Originally posted by FishyJoe: Oh yeah, and I hate to be a comic book nerd, but isn't LA supposed to be a barren wasteland? I was thinking this too, considering "The Cryonic Woman" is recorded right before "That's Lobstertainment" on my Futurama tape. However, in the begining, when you see the Planet Express Ship flying, it is over a barren wasteland - then it flies through the "O" in "Hollywood" and everything's pretty. Only (really nerdy) nitpick I have -- On "Cryonic Woman" the famous "Hollywood" sign has lost the "Holly" and reads "HOOD". Ay - I am a nerd! ~Bummin'~ *Runs back to enjoy his new Futurama Comics #1*

I even copied you by not even realizing ita first, dang . . .
Anyway, this was a poor episode that I will watch again, for reasons of my own, and I stand by my original comments from above (AKA the first time).

sigh... it's sad to see a bad episode of Futurama... but it's still better than reality shows. Am I the only one who didn't get the Sylvester Stallone thing?

ohhh.... that makes sense! I'd gotten so used to Stallone over the years that I'd forgotten how caveman-like he his.

I thought 'that's loberstertainment ' was quite funny a lot better than Leela of her own
