One of Futurama's funniest episodes ever, if not THE funniest. For my money, this episode is even better than the first.
The first segment is absolutely hilarious and the plot is, whilst derivative of a joke from the first Anthology of Interest, great fun. The character animation throughout this segment is outstanding too.
The second segment hit a soft-spot for me. I love video games, particularly retro ones, and so I found this segment extra-hilarious. I'm probably somewhat biased but I imagine most Futurama-nerds are at least familiar with video games.
The final segment is the weakest, but it's still good. The plot is only a simple parody of The Wizard of Oz, but the humour is still top-notch stuff. The visuals are gorgeous too.
Altogether, it's a brilliant way to spend 22 minutes.
