I’m really glad new Futurama episodes will be making me laugh all through the summer. Still, in my preview of these two episodes earlier in the week, I admitted that “Neutopia” and “Benderama” aren’t the best episodes of the new run … actually, they’re kind of a mess. But the great thing about this show is that even the lesser episodes have some laugh out loud moments. I’ve got all the best quotes from these two episodes for your reading enjoyment (I mean, if you’re into that sort of thing)!
“Neutopia”
“Provides a full day’s serving of Vitamin F!” — Title card
“Wait! I found a loophole in the mortgage. If we actually pay it, we can keep the building!” — Hermes
“It was you men who drove this company into the ground. Remember Fry’s idea to offer free delivery?” — Leela
“It got us a lot of customers!” — Fry
“We’re a delivery company!” — Leela
“No no, this won’t do! A three month calendar?! What is this, Mercury?” — Professor Farnsworth
“In the event of a wormhole sending us back in time, do not kill your parents. If you are traveling with small children, help them not to kill you before not killing your own parents.” — Bender
“Shut up and put on four episodes of The Office!” — Petunia on the Planet Express airline
“In your face, decumbent urinators!” — Farnsworth to the women
“Never bet against me being stupid.” — Fry
“Thank God most of our fans are huge perverts!” — Leela
“Benderama”
“Everyone, look at my latest invention!” — Farnsworth
“I like how it’s not killing us so far.” — Amy
“Enclosed is a PDF attachment: a picture of yourself, in a boat, on a river … it’s a river that flows in two directions … make that three … it’s a magic river, that’s how. And it’s flowing down the Eerie Canal to … The Scary Door … that’s ‘Eerie’ with two e’s.” — The Scary Door opening credits
“Man, I wish we had a robot to do stuff.” — Fry
“I know, right?” — Bender
“Oh god, shield your eyes! It’s like Edward James Olmos on IMAX!” — Bender about the ugly giant attaching the spaceship
“Which way to the tiny hookers!” — Tiny Bender
“Wait, this isn’t a real Bender! It’s a talking doll from when Bender had that sitcom about the city robot that moves back to the farm.” — Amy
“Shut your pumpkin, bumpkin!” — Pull-string Bender doll
“We’ve opened Pandora’s Fly. They’ll reproduce without limit, consuming all the matter in the world!” — Farnsworth
“Like the Kardashians!” — Fry
“In a matter of hours, there will be no more fresh water on Earth!” — Professor
“Oh no! What will I mix with my scotch?!” — Bender

After seeing Ms. Schenkel’s review of “Neutopia” on a different website, I had to take a moment to disagree with it. Ms. Schenkel felt the sex-change plot felt “tacked on”, where I felt it flowed nicely, once you actually think about it. All the arguing in the beginning of the episode is strictly about the differences between the genders- mainly personality differences.
So, to have the characters first be genderless, and then switch, was definitely appropriate.
Ms. Schenkel also thought the jokes about women shopping, and the like, were “tir[ed] and used”. My husband, our married friends, and I all agree that they are humorously representative of what we see in our spouses regularly, and even could chuckle at ourselves as parodied in the episode.
Perhaps one must be married, and have been married for a while. The episode was clearly to be seen from Hermes’ and LaBarbara’s perspectives. But we married people enjoyed laughing at our spouses and ourselves in a witty look at the wonderful differences between the sexes. Vive la difference!
