Guess the Episode

[#400 :]

A Fishful of Dollars?

[#401 :]

Bots and the Bees?

[#402 :]

A Bicyclops built for Two?

1. A first time character appears. Alcazar
2. Bender steals. A lot.
3. Something almost happens. Leela almost gets married.

[#403 :]

Xmas story?

[#404 :]

Re-posted for the new page:

Alrighty:
1. A first time character appears.
2. Bender steals.
3. Something almost happens.

The Lesser of Two Evils?

[#405 :]

A Farewell to Arms?

1. The Great Reveal-O.
2. Bender robs many places during the middle of the episode.
3. Earth almost ends; then Mars almost ends.

[#406 :]

Nope, none of those.

Wrong answers so far:
A Fishful of Dollars
The Bots and the Bees
A Bicyclops Built for Two
Xmas Story
The Lesser of Two Evils
A Farewell to Arms
Space Pilot 3000
Insane in the Mainframe
Bendless Love
War is the H-Word
Bender's Big Score
The Series Has Landed
Love and Rocket

[#407 :]

Space Pilot 3000?

1. A first time character appears. Everybody
2. Bender steals. Leela's ring
3. Something almost happens. Fry almost gets career chip'd

[#408 :]

Insane in the Mainframe?

[#409 :]

Nope.

[#410 :]

Bendless Love?

[#411 :]

War is the H-Word?

[#412 :]

Bender's Big Score?

[#413 :]

The Series has Landed?

Zoidberg appears and so does Amy.
I'm pretty sure that Bender steals something in every episode.
Fry and Leela almost run out of O2.

I sure hope that this post isn't considered spam.

[#414 :]

Love and Rocket?

Sheldon and Gwen were first-time characters (and I guess the ship's personality system could be counted as a character, too).
And, since Manwich's last two observations apply to this episode, too:

I'm pretty sure that Bender steals something in every episode.
Fry and Leela almost run out of O2.

I like this thread.  I really do but the one thing that pisses me off about it is when I or someone else can zero in on all 3 clues and still be wrong.

[#416 :]

It's a tough line to tread. If the clues are too vague, they can often apply to multiple (sometimes dozens of) episodes. But if they're too specific, there's no challenge.

Still, it's early days for this game, I'm sure we may wind up refining the criteria down the line.

[#417 :]

It would be nice if the winner checked in at least every 3 hours to see if someone was right or at least update the losers who were wrong.

I did that win I was the winner. 

[#418 :]

Patience, Grasshopper. Some people have limited opportunities to access the net.  Pretend you're playing chess by mail

[#419 :]

Come on. There's this thing people do that's called sleeping.

And I think Cyber_Turnip's clues are way too vague. I'd say at least 80% of the episodes fit that description.

[#420 :]

Agreed on the clues being applicable to too many episodes.

Also, what the fuck is sleeping?

[#421 :]

They're not my clues; they're cartoonlover27's.

4. It's from the Fox run.

Sorry, I have a job.

[#422 :]

Still no takers?

5. It's one of the few episodes where Zoidberg finds a shred of happiness.

[#423 :]

This is probably the dumbest answer but THBB.

[#424 :]

I can't even be bothered to figure out what that acronym stands for.

That's not it.

[#425 :]

Three Hundred Big Boys?

[#426 :]

It's from season 1.

[#427 :]

A Flight to Remember?

[#428 :]

Hell is other robots?

1. First appearance of the Preacherbot and robot devil
2. Bender steals the woman's purse
3. Bender is almost stranded in hell

Missed the Zoidberg clue. I'll guess Love's Labours Lost in Space.

[#429 :]

A Flight to Remember?

Ding ding ding.

1. Loads of first appearances for one-shots, but also, noticeably, the first appearance of Inez Wong, Leo Wong and LaBarbara.

2. Bender steals some drinks.

3. Fry and Leela almost kiss.

5. A Zoidberg romance is hinted at.

[#430 :]

1. Someone acts crazy.
2. Bender finds something offensive.
3. Fry tries helping but it backfires.

[#431 :]

Why Must I Be a Crustacean in Love?

1. Someone acts crazy. Zoidberg.
2. Bender finds something offensive. "Shooting DNA at each other to make babies. I find that offensive!"
3. Fry tries helping but it backfires. He loses an arm.

[#432 :]

Why Must I Be a Crustacean in Love?

1. Someone acts crazy. Zoidberg.
2. Bender finds something offensive. "Shooting DNA at each other to make babies. I find that offensive!"
3. Fry tries helping but it backfires. He loses an arm.

We have a winner!

Although the third hint was actually referring to Fry giving Zoidberg advice on wooing Edna.

[#433 :]

I figured that, but decided to input the ultimate result of the backfiring. Also, the middle clue is what gave it away.

1) Bender episode
2) Features a guest star
3) Leela has a selfish moment

Hideously incorrect:

Raging Bender
Overclockwise
Benderama
Bendin' in the Wind
Bendless Love
A Tale of Two Benders Santas

[#434 :]

Raging Bender?

[#435 :]

Overclockwise?

[#436 :]

Benderama?

[#437 :]

Bendin' in the Wind?

[#438 :]

Bendless Love?
