"I Dated a Robot" feels out of place. Also, as much as I like the episode "Futurestock", it doesn't feel like an episode of Futurama.

Hmm... I think I'd probably have to go with Bendless Love. Don't get me wrong, still funny, still laughed, etc., however I felt reintroducing Flexo and the love interest for Bender and stuff... eh.
But I always get a kick out of the Don Bot.

Mainly Futurstock, because it wasn't much on Futurama but more on the stock market, which is confusing and people don't want to feel dumb. Also it is kind of hard to imagine, what some places int eh future would look like.

Do we mean "out of place" as in out of place from the episode's it's put aound, or out of place from the show's general style itself?
If it's the first one, I'd say Obsoletely Fabulous. I mean, it's a Bender-centric episode, that was made right after ANOTHER Bender episode... also, it had the "dream sequence" twist at the end, just 2 episodes after The Sting, too!
However, if we're talking about episodes that are out of place from the series, I'd say Devil's Hands. It actually seemed kinda Disney-ish to me, in the sense that it had a huge song, had no coarse language and virtually no innapropriate material, and the fact that people's hands could just suddenly be switched like that without any violence just seemed completely ridiculous to me... although having said that, I still think it's a good episode. It just didn't follow the typical Futurama style, in my opinion.
Bendin' In The Wind also seemed somewhat out of place for its whole 60's theme, although they made up for that by having LOTS of Robot jokes.

Originally posted by Beamer: and the fact that people's hands could just suddenly be switched like that without any violence just seemed completely ridiculous to me... Ya, but that kind of fantastical stuff happens all the time. People are loosing limbs left and right with no ill effects and essentially no violence. I mean, if you're going to pick on that you're going to have to really pick on a bunch of other things in different shows as well. I'd like to think that my head could be attached to another body while my body is fixed to have to placed back on no problem, but I don't think it's going to happen  . A lot of stuff is ridiculous and out of the realm of possibility, that's why it's so damned funny a lot of the time.

Bendin in the wind.
Any episode with Beck is gonna be out of place.

Bendin' in the Wind, I didn't like it. Because the entire episode is built around Beck's appearence.
And unlike Simpsons, I didn't want Futurama to be driven by rediculous cameos.

The Route of all Evil always seemed weird to me. Cubert and Dwight get to star in their own episode. Dwights first apperance too. and then most of the rest of the episode was all professor and hermes orinented. just seemd weird

I really dont think that "A Pharoah to remember" is out of place. At that point of the show I was really happy that they finally returned to the "The crew needs to bring a package -> the delivery goes wrong" formula that worked so well in the first seasons. By then it seemed that they barely do any work at all. I also don't think that Futurestock was off since this is a comedy series about the Future, but also about a workplace. The episode was revolving around about the buisness aspect of the workplace, which was understandable.
The episode I think was really off was "Bendin' in the wind". If I wanted to see an episode about the 70s, I'd watch "That 70s show".
