I got a bone to pick with you! This episode clearly shows Fry as extremely skilled at games played entirely on video!

I think that'll only work with Andy himself wrestling - better get the shovels.

Like Zach, my favorite Robot Fighter is The Foreigner - he's just such a perfect distillation of every non-American heel from pro wrestling (although beating Billionaire-Bot with a Very Poor barrel always gets a guffaw from me.) I do want to disagree about MWC - it was raunchy, stupid, crass and funny.

Yeah, exactly. I've been trying to find a particular tweet that's been making the rounds about the Chait piece; I think it was by Jessica Valenti and it said something like "There's definitely a column about the dangers of call-out culture on the left. This wasn't that article." All groups enforce conformity to one…

Charity begets charity, and I don't think Chait was necessarily being charitable to some of the people he was criticizing. Just because someone isn't swearing doesn't mean they're being polite.

Wow, lots of shitty people out today. I'm sorry you two had to go through that.

I read it and thought it had a few good points, but it was sloppily argued and made equivalences where there were none. Most of the behavior Chait was criticizing were other people using their free speech in ways that Chait didn't approve of, which, y'know, so what? There's definitely a issue with ideological groups…

I think Amy has a high Intelligence and low Wisdom. She's definitely smart, she has a PhD in physics and she's the Professor's grad assistant, but she's also a rich ditz without much life experience who's frankly a bit clueless about other people and their feelings.

Oooh, I'd go for "Shove a big old melon in it!" or "STINK-PIG!!!"

I love the little rivalry Amy and Leela have going on ("You really don't have the thighs to wear a miniskirt", etc.) although I didn't like when the writers made it explicit in "The Butterjunk Effect". I enjoy most of the 2nd-gen episodes but they're more prone to jokes that just fall flat, and the bit about their…

"Why, if it isn't my favorite head on Amy's body: Fry!" God, I just love that subtle burn.

Man, I missed the byline when I first read the article - nice work @NickWanserski:disqus! These are some gorgeous illustrations!

I really don't understand how people can dislike That's Lobstertainment. It has The Magnificent Three, dammit!

To add to @unexpected_dave:disqus's point, was the Emperor always desirable, or did he become more desirable by virtue of becoming emperor? Besides, he gives up on his vow pretty quickly when he finds a willing mate, so maybe the Emperor's vow of celibacy is like most nerds' vows of celibacy, less a choice than an…

Yeah, there are all those crazy Decapodian stages of maturity from "Teenage Mutant Leela's Hurdles" (luckily the Internet provides.) It's possible those earlier stages have a selection pressure towards sadsackery (Zoidberg was considered a teenage heartthrob while he was a cuttlefish, although that may have just been…

The Decapodian society is easy to understand Zach! The whole society doesn't die off, only the crab monsters that are attractive and can find mates. Decapodian history, society and culture are maintained by the sadsacks and the nerds. That's why all Decapodians seem so similar to Zoidberg - the quality ones got to…

The "Honest Bender" bit is actually a riff on an old WC Fields bit called "Honest John." (Youtube link here.) There's some good physical comedy in the clip too, if you're into WC Fields.

Hot as hell, too - http://photosofwar.net/rich…

For some reason I'm always most tickled by the Insectoids and the Space Lizards; I can just imagine their (presumably one-sided) conflict.

I love when Futurama lets it's sci-fi freak flag fly, and Brannigan, Begin Again really scratches that itch. All the different alien races are really great.
