Both those clips were entertaining enough. I have no frame of reference here, never having seen Squid Game, but it's been a good while since we've had a Fry-centric episode and I'm curious to see how this one turns out.
I've never seen it either, but the whole games to the death thing is broad enough that I don't think we have to worry about needing to see it to get it.
I am surprised that there is only one other robot invited to Fry's birthday though, the Robot Gypsy of all people, though she's a favourite character of mine I don't mind the rather random choice.
