  • Very funny and quite crude (for Futurama anyways)

    "Spanish Fry"

    Grade: A-

    This episode was a bit more cruder than other Futurama episodes, and in my opinion it wasn't too over the top, but worked and was still very funny.

    The story begins with the Planet Express crew taking a camping trip, and Fry by himself looks for Bigfoot at night after being tricked by Bender in thinking he was Bigfoot. Fry comes back the next morning with no nose after being abducted by aliens.
    The crew find out that people have been abducted by aliens and taking their "human horns" (their noses) and they attempt to get it back by looking at certain shops and markets. They find out that Lrrr is the one that took Fry's nose and they then go to Omicron Persri 8 to get it back.
    Lrrr gives back Fry's nose, but it goes wrong when Bender tells him that the "human horn" he is looking for is actually Fry's *wing dang doodle*, they recapture him and attempt to take the "lower horn" as Lrrr calls it. Leela buys him some time by inviting them to dinner in the woods to settle his relationship with his wife, and if successful Fry gets to keep his "lower human horn".
    The dinner goes disastrously wrong, and just as Lrrr is about to take Fry's lower horn, Bender pushes the cage he is in and escapes. However, he is caught again, and with seemingly no way out this time, Bigfoot shows up.
    Lrrr and his wife respect how he is cute and adorable, but the park ranger comes back and attempts to shoot him with a tranquilizer dart. Lrrr prevents this and realises that if he takes Fry's lower horn, he's not much better than the park ranger, and therefore lets him go in the end.

    So this was a pretty funny episode which pushed the limits of how explicit Futurama can get without becoming an adult show. Bender constantly saying "Woo!" to any sexual references was very funny. Nevertheless, it had some funny quotes and therefore was very good and enjoyable to watch.moreless

    This episode is pure comedic gold. Fry's nose is stolen by aliens {Lrr and Lynd} and mistaken for an aphrodisiac. So Fry, Bender and Leela try to get it back. Lrr and Lynd refuse, until Bender reveals a "lower horn," a true aphrodisiac. So Lrr orders Fry's lower horn get cut off.

    This episode is pure hilarity. It's a bit more adult then other episodes in the series {a lot of sexual themed jokes later, especially from Bender} but it is a true classic for the original run of the series. Brave writers for making a true hilarious episode with a fantastical plotmoreless

    ADD TRIVIA
    • Alien code: The opening title has Alien Code #1 on it. This was the last attempt by the staff to put it in fans faces that there were secrets put into the show. And now that they were going off the air, there was a reason to go back and watch other episodes. When translated it reads: "Thanks For Watching, Futurama Slave Army!" Edit
    • This is the second appearance of Joe Camel, the first being in Where the Buggalo Roam. Edit
    • In the scene where everyone is going to sleep, the camera starts at the Professor's tent, then pans across the three other tents. The middle two tents appear to have naked occupants. Edit

    • Although it is the second to last episode, the audio commentary was recorded last. Edit
    • On the Season 4 DVD at the menu screen for this episode, there is an easter egg. Highlight the 'Scene Selection' button and press left. A picture will appear of Fry, Bender and Leela. Press enter to see almost 100 unused captions for the opening credits. Edit
    • After his nose is stolen, Fry says "My life is over. I'll never know happiness again." Bender said the same thing after being mangled in "Bendin' In The Wind". Edit
