OK, one section in my Complete Guide 2 will be what the Futurama episode titles parody. For those of you who don't know about the site, go here: www.geocities.com/shadowstar_freakboy/futuramaguide.html Anyway, I'll list all the parodied names I know and you fill in the rest (if they are parodied) or correct me if I made a mistake. First, list the episode name, then what it parodies and what the format is (IE: movie, TV show, book etc...) Also, use the new episodes that haven't aired yet too. The Series Has Landed - "The eagle has landed" (quote) A Fishful of Dollars - "A Fistful of Dollars" (movie) My Three Suns - "My Three Sons" (TV show) A Flight to Remember - "A Night to Remember" (movie) Fry and the Slurm Factory - "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (book/movie) A Head in the Polls - Ahead in the Polls (phrase) A Bicyclops Built for Two - A Bicycle Built for Two (phrase?) The Honking - "The Haunting" (movie) Parasites Lost - "Paradise Lost" (movie) The Day the Earth Stood Stupid - "The Day the Earth Stood Still" (movie) That's Lobstertainment - "That's entertainment" (quote) The Birdbot of Ice-catraz - "The Birdman of Alcatraz" (movie) Luck of the Fryrish - "Luck of the Irish" (phrase) The Cyber House Rules - "The Cider House Rules" (movie) Roswell that Ends Well - "Alls Well that Ends Well" (quote) A Tale of Two Santas - "A Tale of Two Cities" (book) Where the Buggalo Roam - "Where the Buffalo Roam" (song lyric) A Pharaoh to Remember - "A Night to Remember" (movie) Future Stock - "Future Shock" (???) A Leela of Her Own - "A League of their Own" (movie) The 30% Iron Chef - "The Iron Chef" (TV show) Where No Fan has Gone Before - "Where no man has gone before" (phrase) Jurassic Bark - "Jurassic Park" (movie) Teenage Mutant Leela's Hurdles - "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" (movie/TV show)

Spanish Fry may be refering to a musical group called Spanish Fly, but far more likely from:
Spanish Fly: The blister beetle Lytta vesicatoria; a preperation made from the dried bodies of these beetles yielding cantharides, formerly used medicinally to produce blisters or as an aphrodesiac.

To complete this list:
Crimes of the hot - Crimes of the heart (movie) Brannigan Begin Again - Finnegan Begin Again (tv show) Space Pilots 3000 - Spencer's Pilots (TV), can also be a reference to "a pilot", first/test episode of a serie.
There apperantly was a serie called "The deep North", but there's only little bits of information about it so I doubt it's a parody on that.

Wow...
Okaaaayyy: 1) Kurt Pikachu; that one was done already. 2) Bender-mon; Somehow I doubt they based an episode title on a Marilyn Manson song... (and whatever those other bands are) 3) This site is long gone and this thread is 3 years old!
