I saw this episode a few weeks ago.

It was...okay.

It only goes to show, Rene:

"You watched it! You can't UN-watch it!"

For those of you who missed this episode due to football, it airs again Sunday in it's usual time slot.

WHAT IF BENDER BECAME HUMAN: Started out funny but got pretty dumb. Any time an episode resorts to fat jokes you know you're in trouble.

WHAT IF LIFE WERE A VIDEO GAME: Easily the best of the three. General Pac Man was a riot. Wakka Wakka Wakka! So was Lurr from Nintendu 64. "Drop Down, Increase Speed, Reverse direction!!". Mario as the UN representative from Italy, Donkey Kong, and Zoidberg eating Fry were also great.

WHAT IF LEELA FOUND HER HOME: IHILMO (It Happened In Leela's Mind Only) -- The second best. It was sorta fun guessing which characters would play which parts (not that it was that hard to guess). Zoidberg suddenly pulling up in a cab and saying "And I'm the other guy. You know, the one who needs courage." had me in stitches (I LOVE ZOIDBERG). This was probably one of my favorite uses of Mom in the entire series.

I enjoyed it.

TUE

So, no one in the Futurama universe has heard of a single video game after Mario? (I know, I know, they had to make sure that the old foggies watching would get the jokes. But still...)

Video Games spotted:

Asteroids, Pac Man, Missile Command Q-Bert, Ms. Pac Man, Burgertime, Berzerk. Battlezone, Donkey Kong, Space Invaders, Mario Bros.

I probably missed a few. I'll have to watch it again and add more to my list later.

Here's the ones I missed:

Missile Command (painted on a door)

Defender (painted on a door....as "Secretary of Defender")

Moon Patrol (painted on a door)

Centipede (on viewscreens in the Mil-Atari HQ)

I couldn't figure out the videogame character with the huge brain was

Oops. I guess I DIDN'T miss "Missile Command"! Sorry....I thought I did.
