[futurama] "almost ten deliveries per year!"

Alfred J. Kwak

off to a slow start again it seems

I enjoyed the episodes. The jokes were clever and the pacing was good. They fit a lot of content into 23 minutes.

My only complaint, and it's minor, is that no mention was made of the fact that this wasn't the first time Bender switched Gender.

Tav

The professor posing topless was horrifying.

I could not stop laughing at that, watching those flap in the breeze...

You just have primitive notions of modesty

The gender episode was disappointing. It took too long to get to the switch and didn't do much with it. For a fun concept like that I expected better. (I do like the opening, particularly the "It's in all our contracts!")

The Bender episode was better. Not top of their form, but at least even with the better half of last season.

Deadfall

Second one was much better. I was a bit disappointed in the first.

In the Bender episode, I just about died at

Spoiler:

Bender and his two clones riding the three person bike. It zooms on Bender being lazy, not pedaling. Then to his clone being lazy, not pedaling. Then his last clone, again not pedaling. And then they all just kind of fall over when they realize nobody is pedaling.

The Gender episode had the line where Bender declares Macs to the be the greatest, so all is forgiven.

Dehumanized

i have no opinion about that

I want to see Scruffy remain as a female in the future.

I loved how the gender episode just gave up explaining anything by the end - it was like The Scary Door.

Maybe I should spoil that... Professor's calendar shoot...

azith28

Well maybe you should!

At the least it will save us using the eyebleach again.

I get the crazy giggles every time I look at that. I couldn't stop laughing last night when it first appeared on my tv screen.

I liked both episodes a lot. They did take too much time getting to the gender swap thing in the first but I still laughed quite a few times, sometimes the well-trodden grounds hit the spot.

I think a lot of it has to do with the Futurama aesthetic puts me in the laughing mood.

I kind of feel like the first act of the first episode was put in to build good will with female viewers before the joke about how much easier women have it.

You cruel goose! He'll be forced to sit down to use the terlet.

"Scruffy 'aint needin' magazines no more..."

Gim

I quite liked when one Bender consumed a crayon and out popped two orange Benders. They probably could have done a few more variants on that, but then it would have just been insanity.

Not that it wasn't already insanity.

Houn

"Now when I say stupid things, people buy me stuff!"

I laughed way too hard.

Zilla360

"Mmmmm... it's like a fine Cognac, with a hint of aged scrotum." :lol:

Both episodes were great IMO. I wonder if we'll see the BenderGoo again? Could end up devouring whole stars, Mantrid-drone style.

I feel the same. While the jokes maybe weren't always original they were definitely within "Futurama" which made it all a bunch more funnier.

If you listen closely you can actually hear his boobs flapping... it's fucking disgusting... it's sounds like water balloons full of applesauce slapping together.

Awesome awesome awesome episode though. Way to start off the second part of the season with a bang.

Lanz

I think the most hilarious part with Scruffy was not only was he turned into a woman but also was the only one who managed to get a physique that was in no way analogous to his original sex

It was like they dropped his head on the body of that doctor whose name I forget.

I think I know what my avatar's going to be.

Andy Joe

"It's a good thing all our fans are huge perverts!" Can't say Futurama doesn't know its audience.

Ethan Smith

Yeah, I dunno. The first episode was so bad (to me!) that I stopped watching the second one halfway in.

Pretty sure that'd be way too much effort.

Yeah, that's who I was thinking of

Magell

The first episode was a little rough in my opinion, but not unenjoyable. The second episode was good and much more Futurama in my mind. I did think the first one was a little too sitcomy with the gender humor, but it was more interesting once they changed genders.

Synthesis

Someone else might have pointed it out, but I wonder if the order might have worked slightly better reversed.

So the Bender Goo allusion might have worked...

Spoiler:

When Bender got melted.

Though I guess it would have rendered "I learned it from a movie" pointless.

override367

I just assumed that the rock alien fixed him and he threw that line in there because he's Bender

Synthesis

True, that does sound like something he'd say even if he had absolutely no part in it.

Am I the only one who misses the "head" jokes?

Like, that should have been "Like the Kardasian Heads!"

Joolander

well Fry has to know about the Kardashians to make that joke

and since they weren't famous before he got frozen, I think we can assume that their heads are famous in 3011

or something
