Rate & Review: The Silence of the Clamps

[hammster]

Pretty good. I laughed pretty consistently. Pacing felt more similar to old Futurama. Not much else to say really just a solid episode.

eh it was ok

I can't believe that people are saying 5/5 or top 15 episode

compare it to roswell that ends well or time keeps on slipping and you can see a pretty big gap in quality

but it was amusing and definitely worth watching

I watched it tonight, and yeah, I really don't see how the bleeps were disturbing at all. I'd expect more people to cringe over last week's use of the word "vulva" (ZOMGZZ!!!11) than the word "fuck."

Anyway, didn't really care for this one. My mom hasn't watched Futurama and this was a chance for her to see what it's about, but I don't think it was that interesting to her. Just jokes that didn't work, a story you know will end in status quo, yadda yadda yadda.

just occurred to me that this is the first episode of the season 6B that does not have scruffy in it

after further thought i definitely take back the top 15 thing (i need to watch some futurama when i get back home, haven't seen much in awhile), i think the episode just put me in an incredibly good mood so i overrated it a little bit

still think it was great, though

This was my least favorite of this batch of episodes so far, for reasons already mentioned.

Mainly just being too by-the-numbers and done before.

3/5

I thought it was really funny and the bleeping , like DoTheBartman already said, was well done and it totally made sense in context.

Maybe I'm dumb but I didn't see the twist with the hilbilly not being Bender. I thought he was Bender and he was killed but he'd come back to life with some sort of trick, considering he has died before in recent episodes.

Apart from being tired of this "main character dies" plot point, especially with Bender, who is a robot anyway, and it seems that he could be easily repaired, I found most of the gags hilarious, especially everything with Zoidberg. When I read the episode synopsis I didn't figure out both Clamps and him had pincers, and it was funny to make a conflict out of it.

I also found the following dialogue hilarious for some reason:

"No, Clamps. No clamps."

4/5

[The Angry Animated Comedy Nerd]

John Fu*king Zoidberg, for the win!!!

[zartok-35]

This episode combines Zoidberg, Bender, and mafia tropes is an amazing way, and fits in a bunch of other delightful things aswell. I like how the moon Bender robot is named Billy West. The ending was a little bit predictable, but I enjoyed this too much too care about that.

Has shimmers of Modern Simpsons repetitiveness. 2/5.
