Removing the commercial break ruins Leela's "If only I had two or three minutes to think about it," joke. Sort of an anti-syndication cut.

They should have had a small pause, then "insert commercial here". Yeah, it was too jarring.

That hurt. I literally rofl'ed when that originally aired, properly, with a commercial break. When I realized the rerun was leading up to that, I was waiting for the payoff, and nada. Grr snarl.
