Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaZapp tells Kif to "get on the wing and pretend he's a gremlin". Zapp's character, especially his affect, is based on William Shatner's Captain James T. Kirk from Star Trek (1966). The gremlin remark is a reference to the Twilight Zone episode Nightmare at 20,000 Feet (1963), which also starred Shatner (before Star Trek), where there is indeed a gremlin on the wing. In the episode Shatner plays a man who has just recovered from a nervous breakdown, he is on a flight returning home after being released from a mental hospital when he looks out the window and sees some kind of monster on the wing trying to damage the engine. However no one else, including his wife, is able to see this "gremlin" which causes him to begin to question his sanity once again, his paranoia leads him to endanger everyone on the plane.

Kif Kroker: Our defense systems are disabled and you can't return ice-cream cakes. We're doomed!

Featured review
Best Ever?
For some reason I did not like Futurama when if first came out although my kids just loved it. Something about it just did not seem science fictiony enough for me. Here I am at 61 watching all the episodes on Flix and laughing at every episode. I think this one is the best ever with so many gags in it you can't help but laugh. Sort of Not All In the Family? Not to mention the visual representation Leela in negligee. An animator had to have fun with that.
The sewer surfing is hilarious. Kudos to the writer that come up with that scenario. Futurama must be for Dingbats.
Enjoy it.
