1. So I says, "Supercollider?
I just met her."
Copy !req
2. And then they built the supercollider.
Copy !req
3. Thank you. You've been a great audience.
Copy !req
4. Humorbot 5.0, ladies and gentlemen.
Copy !req
5. Our next stand-up's a veteran
of four comedy traffic schools.
Copy !req
6. Give it way up for Bobcat Zoidberg!
Copy !req
7. All right!
Copy !req
8. Earth. What a planet.
Copy !req
9. On Earth, you enjoy eating a tasty clam.
Copy !req
10. On my planet,
clams enjoy eating a tasty you.
Copy !req
11. Maybe I'm not yelling loud enough.
Copy !req
12. On Earth, everybody is always
looking for a giant squid.
Copy !req
13. On my planet...
Copy !req
14. Reload.
Copy !req
15. So these three parasitic worms
bore into a human's head...
Copy !req
16. and they walk up to the bar
and then...
Copy !req
17. Uh-oh. Wait! Stop! I've got more!
Copy !req
18. My whole life I worked on that act,
and they hated it.
Copy !req
19. You're a crazy, penniless lobster doctor.
Copy !req
20. No combination of you
should be a comedian.
Copy !req
21. But comedy is in my valves.
Copy !req
22. My Uncle Harold was a big Hollywood star
Copy !req
23. back in the era of silent holograms.
Copy !req
24. Your uncle was Harold Zoid?
Copy !req
25. This I cannot deny.
Copy !req
26. Why, I've been a Harold Zoid fan
since back when my hips were made of bone.
Copy !req
27. As it happens, I still have
some of my original 78s.
Copy !req
28. You're right, crabby.
Copy !req
29. He's a hell of a lot funnier
than you could ever be.
Copy !req
30. Maybe so, but perhaps if I wrote him
Copy !req
31. and asked for a few hundred pointers...
Copy !req
32. This letter has to be very personal,
Copy !req
33. so I'm writing it in my own ink.
Copy !req
34. Dear Uncle Zoid, greetings
from your long-lost nephew.
Copy !req
35. Norm and Sam and Sadie's boy?
Remember?
Copy !req
36. Now I am the most important doctor
at the delivery company where I work.
Copy !req
37. But sadly,
my life is bereft of laughter.
Copy !req
38. "I beg of you, Mr. Funny Uncle.
Teach me the comedy business.
Copy !req
39. "Sincerely, Zoidberg."
Copy !req
40. Oh, isn't that nice he took the time?
Copy !req
41. What's that scribble-di-gook?
Copy !req
42. This is a fan letter
from my rich doctor nephew,
Copy !req
43. who just might be my ticket
out of this flophouse, he might.
Copy !req
44. Yeah, you'd better run.
Copy !req
45. Dear rich doctor nephew,
I can help you be funny.
Copy !req
46. The first funny thing you must do
is put all your money
Copy !req
47. in the form of a cashier's check
and come to Hollywood.
Copy !req
48. "Sincerely, Harold Zoid.
P.S. Cashier's check."
Copy !req
49. Did you hear that?
I'm going to Hollywood!
Copy !req
50. Welcome to Hollywood.
I must warn you,
Copy !req
51. there's no refund if you get discovered
and leave the tour.
Copy !req
52. I'm just kidding.
That never happens.
Copy !req
53. Now, to your right,
you'll see 30th Century Fox studios.
Copy !req
54. Fox uses those searchlights
to blind pilots,
Copy !req
55. then film the resulting plane crashes.
Copy !req
56. - Neat.
Copy !req
57. Ahead, you'll see the home of Mel Gibson,
Copy !req
58. star of the hit film Bravehead.
Copy !req
59. And do we have any fans of Calculon,
Copy !req
60. star of the robot soap opera
All My Circuits?
Copy !req
61. Oh! I am! Me! Bender is!
Copy !req
62. Then you'll wanna get a close look
at his luxurious Bel Air home.
Copy !req
63. Yes, I will. Yep!
Copy !req
64. - Are you my new hot water heater?
- No, I'm Bender.
Copy !req
65. - We met once. Remember?
- Absolutely not.
Copy !req
66. Come on. Don't you remember
how much I was bugging you?
Copy !req
67. 'Cause it was a lot.
Copy !req
68. - You remember, right?
- Look, I'm programmed to be very busy.
Copy !req
69. Unless you can heat water to 212 degrees,
I'm not interested.
Copy !req
70. Have you got
an extra "goto 10" line?
Copy !req
71. I said I don't need a Bender.
Copy !req
72. Bender? That was the other guy.
My name's Boiler.
Copy !req
73. Nice work, Boiler.
Copy !req
74. Thanks. And call me Bender.
Copy !req
75. That's where I'm meeting Uncle Zoid
for lunch
Copy !req
76. to discuss my Hollywood dreams.
Copy !req
77. Next time you see me,
don't be surprised if I've eaten.
Copy !req
78. Uncle Zoid, you're looking young enough
to be thrown back.
Copy !req
79. Rich nephew! Come over here
Copy !req
80. and give your uncle
a nice, big meal.
Copy !req
81. So, here we are,
a still-famous film comedian...
Copy !req
82. And a rich, respected doctor
with many surviving patients.
Copy !req
83. Eating real food in a restaurant,
as we both often do.
Copy !req
84. So, you want to be a comedian, is it?
Copy !req
85. It's my lifelong dream.
Copy !req
86. Well, that dream dies now!
You're unfunny and untalented!
Copy !req
87. That's why you're perfect for drama.
Copy !req
88. Hmm... Serious drama.
Copy !req
89. Perhaps it is time
to give up comedy.
Copy !req
90. I'm putting together a big drama picture
right now as we speak.
Copy !req
91. The script is dynamite.
I know, because I wrote it myself.
Copy !req
92. And with me directing and starring,
Copy !req
93. I'll be back on top
after 50 miserable years...
Copy !req
94. of fame.
Copy !req
95. Ah, fame. Where do I come in?
Copy !req
96. This fame film has a juicy part for you
Copy !req
97. if you completely finance it
with your doctor money.
Copy !req
98. So, are you in?
Copy !req
99. Uh... Okay.
Copy !req
100. How much do I have to invest?
Copy !req
101. Oh, not much. Not much. A million dollars.
Copy !req
102. Then it's settled.
Another blockbuster Hollywood deal.
Copy !req
103. What can I get you gentlemen?
Copy !req
104. Is bread free?
Copy !req
105. - Yeah.
- We'll split an order.
Copy !req
106. What's with Monstro?
Copy !req
107. He promised he'd give his Uncle Zoid
a million bucks to make a movie.
Copy !req
108. I've only been here a day,
and already I'm a Hollywood phony.
Copy !req
109. Perhaps I could call on
TV's Calculon to help,
Copy !req
110. now that I'm in showbiz.
Copy !req
111. - Since when have you been in the biz?
- Long enough, little man.
Copy !req
112. Long enough.
Copy !req
113. Calculon, as your hot water heater,
I would be remiss
Copy !req
114. if I didn't bring you scripts that could
make you an international film star.
Copy !req
115. Of course. Tell me about the project.
Copy !req
116. It's a movie.
Copy !req
117. Interesting. Tell me more.
Copy !req
118. Get this.
Copy !req
119. For a scant one-million-dollar investment,
you can be the star.
Copy !req
120. And?
Copy !req
121. And, I guarantee it'll win you an Oscar.
Copy !req
122. An Oscar, you say?
Copy !req
123. That would get me out of this
festering rat's nest called television
Copy !req
124. once and for all.
Copy !req
125. Let me see the script.
Copy !req
126. No. No, I don't like the font. Wait!
Copy !req
127. Harold Zoid?
Copy !req
128. Was this written by the Harold Zoid?
Copy !req
129. Written and xeroxed.
Copy !req
130. Good heavens.
Copy !req
131. A chance to work
with the legendary Harold Zoid.
Copy !req
132. He's one of my great idols.
Copy !req
133. And you say you can
guarantee me the Oscar?
Copy !req
134. I can guarantee you anything you want.
Copy !req
135. - Then I'll do it!
- Hooray!
Copy !req
136. Here's your checkbook.
Copy !req
137. Ladies and gentlemen,
Copy !req
138. I give you our director,
the legendary Harold Zoid.
Copy !req
139. Thank you.
A more classic movie plot there isn't.
Copy !req
140. A son who does not want to follow
in his father's business,
Copy !req
141. and that business
is being president of Earth no less.
Copy !req
142. The son, as it happens,
is vice president.
Copy !req
143. That plot makes perfect sense,
wink, wink.
Copy !req
144. Bender, you said "wink, wink" out loud.
Copy !req
145. No, I didn't. Raise middle finger.
Copy !req
146. Now, remember,
and I can't stress this enough,
Copy !req
147. this is a talkie,
Copy !req
148. so I want the full gamut of emotions
from every actor in every scene.
Copy !req
149. The Magnificent Three.
Scene one, take one.
Copy !req
150. And action!
Copy !req
151. Take back your gilded pen, Father.
Copy !req
152. Signing bills into law
was always your dream, not mine.
Copy !req
153. Cut! Cut! Cut it!
Copy !req
154. I said this is a talkie, damn it!
You've got to emote more!
Copy !req
155. And you extras.
Wave your arms and make faces.
Copy !req
156. What is this? A morgue?
Copy !req
157. The Magnificent Three.
Scene 10, take 95.
Copy !req
158. Action! And I mean
circus-grade action.
Copy !req
159. Sir, I call upon you
not as a president,
Copy !req
160. but as a father!
Copy !req
161. Cut! Cut! Cut it!
Copy !req
162. Would you show a little emotion?
Copy !req
163. People, people, please.
Just because it's a dramatic scene
Copy !req
164. doesn't mean you can't
do a little comedy in the background.
Copy !req
165. Throw a pie or two,
for God's sake.
Copy !req
166. No!
Copy !req
167. Cut! Cut it! Yuck!
Copy !req
168. Look. It's all right, kid.
We'll get it in editing.
Copy !req
169. All right. That's a wrap, everybody.
Copy !req
170. I'm gonna see you all at the premiere,
which, by the way, when is?
Copy !req
171. Well, editing is a long
and expensive process,
Copy !req
172. but we spent all the money on pies,
so it'll be ready Friday.
Copy !req
173. Nice turnout, Calculon.
Copy !req
174. That Oscar is practically on your mantle.
Copy !req
175. I just pray they like me
half as much as I do.
Copy !req
176. I agreed to be your vice president,
but I never agreed to be your son.
Copy !req
177. Thank you, Lieutenant Smith.
Copy !req
178. Good morning,
Copy !req
179. Mr. Vice President.
Copy !req
180. Leela, we're missing the premiere.
Copy !req
181. My only goal in life
is to attend a Hollywood shindig.
Copy !req
182. Just pay the valet the two bucks.
Copy !req
183. No. It's the principle of the thing.
Copy !req
184. Besides, I think I see a parking lot
up ahead.
Copy !req
185. Father, I have asked you
to join meon the White House roof
Copy !req
186. so we could have
a heart-to-heart talk.
Copy !req
187. I will never follow
in your footsteps.
Copy !req
188. Here is my resignation
as vice president.
Copy !req
189. No! My son will not
shame me like this.
Copy !req
190. I would sooner die,
I would.
Copy !req
191. Father! The ledge!
Copy !req
192. Oh...
Copy !req
193. The president is dead.
Copy !req
194. Congratulations, Mr. President.
Copy !req
195. No!
Copy !req
196. Woo-hoo! Yeah! He's a visionary!
Copy !req
197. Everyone walked out. They hated it.
Copy !req
198. I've seen plagues that had
better opening nights than this.
Copy !req
199. You said that Oscar was practically
on my mantle.
Copy !req
200. Now you know why I used the qualifier
"practically."
Copy !req
201. You listen to me.
I'm out a million bucks here.
Copy !req
202. You get me that Oscar or you're dead,
you and these sniveling lobsters!
Copy !req
203. Dead! You hear me? Dead!
Copy !req
204. Oy! Now he emotes!
Copy !req
205. 400 categories,
and not a single nomination for me.
Copy !req
206. But you won this Golden Globe.
Copy !req
207. Piffle! That's the Emmy of movie awards!
Copy !req
208. I told you I want an Oscar!
Copy !req
209. Then maybe you should act better.
Copy !req
210. The Oscar isn't about acting,
Copy !req
211. it's about earning the respect
and admiration of the creative community.
Copy !req
212. How about we rig the awards?
Copy !req
213. That's fine too.
Copy !req
214. It's no use. The tar is too thick.
Plus, I think I flooded it.
Copy !req
215. Well, we missed the premiere,
and we're gonna die.
Copy !req
216. - Might as well enjoy the sights.
Copy !req
217. Oh, my God. Sylvester Stallone!
Copy !req
218. This is where you live?
Copy !req
219. I thought you were
a big-shot Hollywood movie star.
Copy !req
220. No, I'm not.
I am an even bigger liar than you.
Copy !req
221. My career went down the tubes
the day they invented Smell-A-Vision.
Copy !req
222. Calculon's gonna kill us for sure,
Copy !req
223. and it's all everybody else's fault.
Copy !req
224. All I wanted was for people
to think of me one last time before I die.
Copy !req
225. What are you talking about, Uncle?
Everybody remembers Harold Zoid.
Copy !req
226. As a pathetic has-been,
they remember me.
Copy !req
227. As a forgotten relic, they remember me.
It's better to die now.
Copy !req
228. No! This is one death
Dr. Zoidberg won't be responsible for.
Copy !req
229. Zoidberg away!
Copy !req
230. Hi. I'm Joan Rivers's head.
I tell you, I've had so many face-lifts,
Copy !req
231. they finally lifted it
right off my body.
Copy !req
232. It's true! It's true!
Copy !req
233. Oh, oh, oh! Here comes Jack Nicholson's
DNA reconstituted in a gorilla body.
Copy !req
234. Catering.
Copy !req
235. Oh. Ugh...
Copy !req
236. Oh! And here's washed-up actor
what's-his-name, Harold Zoid.
Copy !req
237. Are you presenting one of those
tacky honorary awards or just getting one?
Copy !req
238. I'm a seat filler, Joan's head.
Copy !req
239. My only marketable skill
is to occupy space.
Copy !req
240. You know, the second I don't win
that award,
Copy !req
241. you're cat food.
Copy !req
242. Right, Boxy?
Copy !req
243. And now, the host
of the 1,074th Academy Awards,
Copy !req
244. Billy Crystal!
Copy !req
245. Now I know how a PEZ dispenser feels.
Copy !req
246. Oh, you like that one, Jack?
Copy !req
247. All right. We're already one hour behind.
Copy !req
248. Our first award tonight,
Copy !req
249. best cinematography
in a non-visible spectrum.
Copy !req
250. It's been two weeks.
Copy !req
251. You wanna play tic-tac-toe again
before we eat our shoes?
Copy !req
252. No. I always knew
I'd die at the bottom of a pit.
Copy !req
253. But a pit full of tar?
Copy !req
254. What was that?
A tar dolphin or a tar shark?
Copy !req
255. It's some kind of hollow tube
devoid of human life.
Copy !req
256. The Los Angeles subway!
We can blast our way in and escape!
Copy !req
257. All right, but I still feel like
having a shoe.
Copy !req
258. What category are they on?
Copy !req
259. They're giving out
the minor technical awards.
Copy !req
260. I think they're up to writing.
Copy !req
261. That just leaves
best soft drink product placement
Copy !req
262. and then best actor.
Copy !req
263. We don't have much time.
Copy !req
264. And the nominees for
best soft drink product placement are...
Copy !req
265. Star Trek: The Pepsi Generation.
Copy !req
266. They Call Me Mr. Pibb.
Copy !req
267. And Snow White
and the 7 UPs.
Copy !req
268. And now, to present the award
for best actor,
Copy !req
269. a bit player in the flop movie,
The Magnificent Three, Dr. Zoidberg!
Copy !req
270. Okay, Boxy.
Keep your prong on the trigger.
Copy !req
271. And the nominees
for best actor are...
Copy !req
272. Sir Laurence
in The Merchant of Venus.
Copy !req
273. Hive Mind Gamma 7-X
in Bikini Party Summer.
Copy !req
274. The Soda Machine Robot
in Bikini Party Summer.
Copy !req
275. Mark Jones
in How Beige Was My Jacket.
Copy !req
276. And instead of the fifth guy,
Copy !req
277. Calculon, for his powerhouse performance
in The Magnificent Three.
Copy !req
278. Uh-oh. He read the wrong name.
Copy !req
279. Shh! Just play along like they did
for Marisa Tomei.
Copy !req
280. Hooray! I won't be murdered!
I'll live another day.
Copy !req
281. Another day of pathetic, forgotten misery.
Copy !req
282. And the winner is...
Copy !req
283. And the winner,
instead of any of the nominees,
Copy !req
284. is the legendary Harold Zoid!
Copy !req
285. What?
Copy !req
286. Thank you. Thank you so much.
Copy !req
287. You know, through all my ups and downs,
Copy !req
288. I always thought
the most important thing in life
Copy !req
289. was to win an Oscar.
Copy !req
290. But tonight I realize
what's really important
Copy !req
291. is to win two Oscars!
Copy !req
292. I'm kidding. I'm kidding.
Copy !req
293. What really matters in life
is that people care about you,
Copy !req
294. - whether it's a whole crowd...
Copy !req
295. or just one diehard fan.
Copy !req
296. Aw!
Copy !req
297. Thank you, nephew.
Copy !req
298. Now I can die happy,
Copy !req
299. 10 seconds from now
when Calculon kills us.
Copy !req
300. Harold Zoid!
Copy !req
301. Hit the deck!
Copy !req
302. Where's that Oscar?
Copy !req
303. Here. Enjoy. What are you getting upset?
Copy !req
304. It's slightly less fraudulent
for you to have it.
Copy !req
305. Yes. Yes, it's a real beauty.
Copy !req
306. Someday I hope
to win one of my own.
Copy !req
307. Then you're not gonna kill us,
Your Majesty?
Copy !req
308. Nay. I respect and admire Harold Zoid
too much
Copy !req
309. to beat him to death with his own Oscar.
Copy !req
310. Earthquake!
Copy !req
311. Hit the deck!
Copy !req
312. Let the Earth quake,
I've got somebody's Oscar!
Copy !req
313. We made it!
I'm at a Hollywood party.
Copy !req
314. I'm sorry, sir. This is a private...
Copy !req
315. Oh, pardon me.
I see you're with Mr. Stallone.
Copy !req
