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!

Symmetrical violence is cute!  Except for "The Why of Fry" this is the best episode of McSeason 5!

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?

Long overdue as an episode, and another example of how Futurama was going from strenght to strenght just beofre the cancellation.

This was a good episode. But not as good as "Three Hundred Big Boys"

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....  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....?  The opening title was great "Better than a punch in the face"  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....!" Excellent ep, loved it loved it loved it  Only 3 new ones left to air in Australia....nooooooooooo  ------------------
"I can't explain what happens to me
Caught in the game I always start
I could describe each mistake for you
Tattoo it on my tainted heart...."

You'll have to excuse me digging up this old thread but I've only just watched it for the first time ever, on DVD:Brilliant ep! Definately one of Futurama's best. A brilliant start with the Professor desperately trying not to blow the Planet Express building up and everybody else completely ignoring it. Calling on Buddha, Zeus, and finally "Satan, you owe me!" Wonderful. Great to see Leela fending off Fry's advances with any old excuse - and Fry dumb enough to believe her. Sweaty boot rash indeed! And a great Amy bitching joke - her sitting at the opposite end of the room even when Leela's blatently lying! It's only bettered by what I think is the best gag in the ep - Amy/Alternative Amy dissing on each other because one has pink toenails and the other has yellow - Amy is not only at bitching at herself here, and boy, is she obsessed with her own appearance, but she's also an idiot. The whole parallel universe stuff was great too - great to see an alternative Leela and Fry - married! Boy do they make a cute couple! (and doesn't Leela look gorgeous?! *Sigh*) Great gags (the Professor/alternate Professor's mindbending gag about destroying the universe: (if you're thinking that I'm thinking that then you must have thought of it first) Brilliant. Good plot, story, and nice resolution. And maybe a slight shift in Leela's stance towards Fry. Maybe. Cracking ep. Loved it. A+
