I’m stealing an idea from !thesimpsons@lemmy.world because they had a great idea.

What do you mean, "the first?" They made more?!

Just joking. I've tried watching the various incarnations. They're just not the same anymore.

I blelieve the series has been cancelled 3 times, and all in error!!

Only the first was an error.

I watched the first episode. It felt too "Family Guy-ish." The bad Family Guy, not the first few seasons of it. Lol

Yeah I'll eventually give it another try at some point.

"Attack of the Clothes" had an ending that I really appreciated.

Your writing lacks subtlety! You can't just announce how your characters feel!

That makes me feel angry!

zqps@sh.itjust.works · 2 pts · 1y

I love meta humour. I wish it would have been "That makes me angry!" just to make it a tad less on the nose.

I could hear it in the devil's voice nearly a decade after watching this episode.

It's crazy how a minor recurring character could by so memorable.

That line is the Trope Namer for, That Makes Me Feel Angry!

An opera? About a woman? How deliciously absurd!

Seeing Leela without lipstick makes her look different

It's there, you can see the outline. She's just been smothered in sauce.

“But I’ve never written an opera.” “And I’ve never heard one.”

Destiny has cheated me by forcing me to decide upon: The woman that I idolize, or the hands of an automaton.

Without these hands I can’t complete the opera that was captivating her

But if I keep them, and she marries him, He probably won’t want me dating her.

That whole episode is fantastic. Its top tier writing.

The only thing I hate about it is that it made the writers think they were good at doing musical numbers, and in the following seasons, they did a bunch of really, really bad songs.

The alternate ending of the episode where Leelas mom and Zapp become a thing.. -shudders-

||The Devils hands are idle playthings|| Honestly, this is probably the easiest one to guess.

w3dd1e@lemm.ee · 2 pts · 1y (1 reply)

I debated between easy and medium. Since it was the first one, I wasn’t sure how hard to rate it.

Leate_Wonceslace@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 2 pts · 1y

Fair.

I would commission... An opera!
