Thoughts on [2ACV16] Anthology of Interest I

[Reply #40 on:]

Bumping for the review thread! I guess I'll discuss each separately.

1 - Not bad. Bender's dying words were pretty funny and I liked Fry's "Wanna make Shrinky Dinks?" The best part was the guinea pig. Aside from that though, not a whole lot here. I'd give it like a 6.5/10.

2 - I love this one. I find it really hilarious. They crammed every single PE character into seven minutes and gave each a useful role and it wasn't forced at all, which is really awesome. Leela at the beginning with the new boots is funny and I love how Fry just takes a bite out of Zoidy's claw, shell and all. Plus the end, hahaha. 9/10

3 - Good. Funny sci-fi stuff. I really like Gygax in here. "A schoolbus!" oh man the delivery of that line killed me. Good use of the guest stars and pretty amusing. 8/10

Overall, I'll give it an 8/10 because the funniness of the segments in between cancels out the mediocrity of the first Tale of Interest.

I always love the offtopic episodes like AoI and Reincarnation. I don't see a single flaw in this episode. I agree with Spira, the first one and the third one aren't quite as genius as the second one, but it's still enjoyable and funny throughout. Zoidberg is at his best, first the guinea pig, than him as a detectibe... brilliant. The only scene that I didn't like all that much was the fight between Bender and Zoidberg, which kind of reminded me of Peter Griffin fighting his chicken archenemy (yeah, I know, it's actually the other way around).

Still, this is definitely one of my favourite episodes of Futurama and I see no reason to give it less than
10/10

New review, it's still a fantastic ep and I love the whole first segment with Bender being huge and then fighting huge Dr Zoidberg. The guinea pig joke is just amazing. The second segment is floorless the whole way, and somehow all of the different murders are strangely engaging. The third segment, although good, never seems to be able to quite live up to the other two, not that it's bad, but overall I'm giving this...

9/10

Also the finglonger ending, awesome!...

I love the ending of this episode too. It adds a whole other bonus dimension to the non-canon-ness.

Jeopardy! had a Animation category in the second round on tonights show.

The $2000 answer came from this episode where Bender was blackmailing Leela.

Of course the question was...'What is Futurama'.

"I said extortion because the X makes it sound cool." :laff:I I watched it too.

Classic Episode. That is all that needs to be said.

9/10

Giant Bender Segment was great. 8.5/10

The More Impulsive Leela: Probably my favorite Segment. Still cracks me up to this day. 10/10

Fry never coming to the future: 9/10 it makes sense.
