Leela wouldn't say "poo." She'd say "crud," or "crap."

Nice story, Slugs, again.
"Gentlemen, it appears we're boned" could work too. I think.

After hearing how bad this episode was supposed to be, I was pleasantly surprised, sure it’s not one of the best but it’s still pretty decent. It was cool seeing the Robot Priest again, who isn’t used enough in my opinion, and the Australian Guy was a nice touch. This episode kinda reminded of “My Three Suns” and “Fear of A Bot Planet”, but dressed in Egyptian surroundings. Having said this, it was original enough to seem fresh and the visuals on the Egyptian planet were awesome.
Bender acted like a real jerk, but not so much so I hated him for it. Because He’s a robot I can accept his actions a little easier, although it would have been better had his obnoxious personality was toned down just a little bit. I liked the stuff at the beginning too, it was cool when he used his head as a spray can to graffiti a wall, the funeral scene was really cool too. The Professor catching the bouquet of flowers and the reasoning behind it was hilarious. I also thought his statue looked really cool, making a statue to remember him by was the obvious thing to do and it was a great touch, as was the casino within it.
What I didn’t like was the lack of Fry and Leela, not nearly enough screen time. I also felt that they kind of let Bender get away with it, they didn’t seem to want to stop him. Leela is normally the authority figure on deliveries; she really let her role as captain slip. There were a few other minor parts I didn’t like and too much of it focussed on Bender, not enough diversity within plot and there was a lack of sub plot. It was a little predictable, but on the whole it was a reasonable effort, many funny moments, but could have been executed a little better.

This episode takes the crown from 'That's Lobstertainment!' as the worst Futurama episode ever. After last week's not too bad episode, I had a hope that Futurama was returning to its old self, but this one really was terrible.
I smiled at a few things (the Professor getting the bouquet, Elton John, 'Bender Licks Ass', 'We're dumb!') but I didn't laugh once.
Scruffy's appearance was pointless, Morbo wasn't funny for once, Zoidberg's singing was dull and went on too long, and well, the whole of the plot from Osiris onwards was slow, predictable and utterly unfunny. It reminded me of the Eygpt bit of 'Simpsons Bible Stories' - and was just as bad.
It was nice to see the Australian again (pity he didn't get more lines, like explaining how he escaped the spa), but his appearance just reminded me of the fantastic 'How Hermes Requisitioned His Groove Back', and made me realise how low this series has sunk.
I hope 'Godfellas' is as good as it's supposed to be.

Why do so many people say this was a bad episode? It was great! 5/5 The Elton John bit, Benders Egyption dance, everyone being whipped, it was all hillarious!

Zoidberg's singing and ender hitting him in the head with the wine glass was good too.
I also liked the bit where they were inside the Bender statue and Fry said: " Bender, i really hope thats you, cause if it isn't" {makes weird wheezing noises} "Then weir in trouble!"
That was SO funny! ^_^

Bender was a pain in the ass in the episode too. Well, I didn't dislike it as much as Archie2K, but the scary part is, in the little Pharoah "re-write" I did a while back in this thread--with Bender betraying Fry and Leela by seizing them and handing them over to their captors--I ripped off Fear Of A Bot Planet without realizing it. Eeeee! Wet noodle bad dog! (In my defense: in my version he deliberately prevents their successful escape purely for his own ends, which is a tad more evil than his spur-of-the-moment cover-up in Bot Planet.)

This was fun enough, but no where near as good as Godfellas.
