Amazon Women in the Mood

The start of Futurama's 'a dirty episode every season' tradition. And the best episode to fall into said category too.

The first act is actually my favourite with Zapp on hilarious form trying to woo Leela on a half date and the start of Kif and Amy's relationship which in my opinion, really enhanced two otherwise boring characters. There's also a brilliant joke for fans of the show who remember A Flight to Remember in the background.

Once the characters are stranded on Planet Amazonia, there's less focus on character and more on flat out dirty jokes. But they're really, really funny, so who cares?

The episode ends nicely enough and establishes Amy and Kif as a couple, something which is ongoing to this day.

Quite possibly Futurama's funniest episode, in which splits into two plots. The first plot is when Leela arranges a date with Zapp so that Kif can meet Amy, and the 2nd is when they crash onto planet Amazonia. This episode is probably the first crude one, and although not directly told, its still obvious what they mean. I mean, who didn't laugh when the male crew were sent to death by "Snu-Snu"?

The episode was funny the whole time. The first act involved Zapp giving Kif some quick pickup lines, which offered a few funny moments. Zapp singing back to Leela was hilarious, and the episode got better once everyone ended up on Amazonia. The Femputer was funny, Zapp came out with some hilarious quotes, and many visual gags worked in this episode too. Honestly, this episode was one of the best. I'll give it a 10/10 easily!

Overall one of Futurama's funniest episode, "Amazon Women in the Mood" is also one of the more adventury one and definitely one in the dirty category. The first act with the date between Zapp, Leela, Amy and Kif is hilarious with some of the greatest Zapp lines ever, including his singing to Leela and the great line "you win again, gravity!". The dirty jokes are perfectly balanced on the fine line between funny and too much, and the sight of the skeletons who died of broken pelivises is hilarious.

What did I not like? This is almost nitpicking, but I was actually not a big pan of the subplot with the Femputer actually being a fembot. It simply didn't make sense to me why it would matter if she was a robot or a computer, and if that was the joke it wasn't good. It also lead to a rather simple ending to an otherwise great plot.

What I did like was that they finally started the Kif-Amy-relationship! Although somewhat started in A Flight to Remember, this is where they get together, and the characters who previously where rather simple and funny rather than emotional suddenly got great new dimensions that would be revisited in many episodes to come.
