Fry does the lightsaber training from StarWars against the remote, which is filled with candy.

Was that really Alan Alda from MASH as the robot?

Ccabe, weren't they already veterans from When Aliens Attack?

How did the balls bounce off the planet & how did they survive the vaccum of space?

By Charles Cabe (Ccabe) on Monday, April 23, 2001 - 8:22 am:

Yes, they were veterans after When Aliens Attack. Since they save the world, you'd think they would get to keep their discout cards.

I guess this was also a mockery of Starship Troopers (among other things)

Both Zapp & Fry are complete dolts...You mean to tell me that neither of them could figure out that the "new recruit" was Leela in disguise? I figured it out in 0.1 seconds!

Ummss, I hate to be a party pooper but isn't that one of the fundamentals of the show? Fry, in particular, being a complete idiot? :D

And you're getting into the whole Superman/Clark Kent "Just how dumb was Lois really?" territory. *grin*

Obvious reference for this episode: M*A*S*H

By John A. Lang on Wednesday, August 13, 2003 - 12:25 pm:

The disembodied brains is a tip of the hat to TOS "The Gamesters of Triskelion"

"Antiquing"? (sp?)

I love this show.

By ScottN on Wednesday, August 13, 2003 - 5:09 pm:

Actually, it's a real word.

Antiquing: To give the appearance of an antique to: antiqued an oak chest.

By Josh M on Thursday, August 14, 2003 - 1:01 am:

I know it's a real word. I was just quoting the last line of the ep and hopefully spelling it right.

By John A. Lang on Monday, August 18, 2003 - 7:57 am:

Toy reference: Hoppity Hops (The huge inflatable ball with a handle attached so you can bounce around on it.)

By John A. Lang on Sunday, August 24, 2003 - 2:08 pm:

BEST LINE: "Hermes?" Fry to "Lee" (aka Leela) just before they go rescue Bender. (The line intensifies Fry's stupidity)

By John A. Lang on Sunday, August 24, 2003 - 4:28 pm:

The line: "Follow the bouncing ball" comes from "Sing Along With Mitch"

By John A. Lang on Tuesday, August 26, 2003 - 12:00 pm:

The scene in which Zapp is standing in front of the huge flag is a tip of the hat to "Patton"

I was REALLY praying that Fry and Bender would guess that Lee was Leela at the end, only to have Leela walk over and say "Hey, who's that guy?" Alas, it was not to be

No - the Hawkeye 'bot was voiced by regular cast member Maurice LaMarche, who according to the IMDB is "probably the best soundalike artist in the industry".
