I saw The Farnsworth Parabox on Sky 1 tonight, and I have to say that I loved every moment, it's a truely great episode. It makes you laugh (a lot), boggles the mind, and contains brilliant animation (the shot zooming into the box, through the universe, and down to the PE building was excellent). I don't think i've ever laughed out loud much watching any other Futurama episode (and that's saying something, because I laugh very hard at most episodes). I couldn't stop laughing for 5 minutes after the moment when Hermes pauses and has to think if he should press the button or not. I loved the scene with the two Zoidbergs, as Zoidberg A bows down kissing the other feet! Also, in the scene where Leela shouts "I've got sweaty Boot rash!" Everyone in my family laughed, but I laughed realy hard. But then I realised i'd miss-heard, I thought she said "sweaty boob rash!" Although either way it's still funny. I know i've said this after each recent episode has aired but this is instantly one of my favourites ever! Season 4 of Futurama may be the last but it's also turning out to be the best!

Just an afterthought after rewatching it a minute ago, do you think that the scene where Farnsworth holds the box infront of his chest and everyone jumps inside is a parody of the scene in The Matrix, were Neo jumps inside Agent Smith?

First of all I just have to say how much it sucks that FOX screwed over all you guys by playing the eps in the wrong order....All these shippy eps and Bender eps in a row.... ![no no :nono:](https://www.peelified.com/Smileys/PEEL/smiley_nono.gif) Anyway just saw this last night and god damn what a brilliant episode....! Amazingly hilarious, and so fast paced I missed a lot of things the first time I'm sure.... Is it just me or the first time you see an ep, it moves so fast that it's over before you know it....? ![hmpf :hmpf:](https://www.peelified.com/Smileys/PEEL/smiley_hmpf.gif) The opening title was great "Better than a punch in the face" ![laff :laff:](https://www.peelified.com/Smileys/PEEL/smiley_laff.gif) I knew Catindisguise got her original avy from this ep, and it was great to finally see it, along with a few other parallel avy's.... The 2 benders were great, I thought more than one would have been annoying but I was wrong...."Bite my glorious golden ass....!" ![laff :laff:](https://www.peelified.com/Smileys/PEEL/smiley_laff.gif) Excellent ep, loved it loved it loved it ![big grin :D](https://www.peelified.com/Smileys/PEEL/smiley_biggrin.gif) Only 3 new ones left to air in Australia....nooooooooooo ![frown :(](https://www.peelified.com/Smileys/PEEL/smiley_frown.gif)

So like, why was the sky all rainbow-y? And their clothes colours different? Was 90% of stuff based on a coin flip? Even the laws of science?
(PS, not having a go, this is my 3rd favourite episode...)

I don't think the choice to have sex or not is based on a coin flip...

I agree with SGB.
We're talking about a universe, here. The entire world would be shaped by such happenings. Imagine the changes springing forth exponentially from one little difference.

I'm not convinced that the only differences in the universes were due to coin-flips. Zoidberg being different colours between universes isn't really explainable through coin-flips, for instance. Farnsworth only says that the coin-flip thing is the "principal difference" between their worlds, or something similar. Although you could ass-pull an explanation for the multiple colours of Zoidberg due to coin-flips with, you know. A coinflip somewhere down the line causing his conception to occur seconds later and this to have the impact on his genetics that influence his colour... or something of that nature. In other words, Doc's explanation of the different 1985 in Back To The Future...
Minus the time-travel, yes.

This is probably my favorite episode. It perfectly balances the usage of the crew members (the two versions of them that is). It has everything that makes me watch Futurama, it builds from a sci-fi plot, with the science being fairly credible while simultaneously making fun of its absurdness. It has some of the show's greatest one-liners, Fry sitting on the universe and Hermes asking Leela to "shoot those guys" I find this episode to be one I always return to when I haven't seen Futurama in a while. I'm not one for grading episodes, it always depends on what you compare them to. Instead, I end this review with a simple truth. perfectly symmetrical violence never solved anything

My friend Sal freaking loves this episode. And I really can't blame him. This was a really great episode. Executed Brilliantly, great jokes, awesome story, this episode had almost everything that defines a perfect Futurama episode.
9.5/10
