Music in "..Crustacean in Love"

Hi,

the national anthem in "..Crustacean in Love", where have I heard it before? Was it in the Star Trek (TOS) episode where Spock and Kirk had to fight to death each other because a woman? (Much like Zoidberg & Fry)?

Exactly. In fact, the weapons they choose from, except the nutcracker, are the traditional Vulcan weapons. After Kirk and Spock fight to the "death", she goes off with someone else anyway, just like Edna did.

I liked the solution in TOS (the doctor gave Kirk something that made him appear dead, faking to give him something helping him to handle the low oxygen on vulcan). The Futurama solution (everybody went to the sea pretty quickly) is a little stupid. Also I loved to see Spocks reaction when he saw that Kirk was alive (he showed a feeling).

Good night,

BTW: (How) did Zoidberg got rid of his Jelly?

Do you really want that explained? ;)

And is all this related to what Bender was doing with the Prime Minister of Norway's arm?

After all, Bender doesn't seem to respect the "anti-pimping" laws.

Yep, from "Amok Time." That's probably my favorite Futurama joke.

Why couldn't they just have used "Rock Lobster" instead of another stupid Star Trek reference? ::grumble::

It wouldn't have been funny at all, that's why.

Oh please. It woulda been 10 times funnier.

If by "10 times funnier" you mean "obvious and extremely stupid", then yes. Yes it would.

Have you ever heard "Rock Lobster"? I'm surprised they didn't use it.

I'm surprised I haven't drug you outside, buried you up to you neck and urinated on your face but you don't hear me complaining.

It's a SCI-FI SHOW! There'll be a lot more Star Trek references on this show so if you don't like that then get the hell out and stop crying like a little girl with a skinned knee. Want rapid-fire pop culture references? Go watch Family Guy.

Would you like some cheese with that whine?

Listen carefully:

GO FUCK YOURSELF. You worthless piece of llama vomit. Your mother was a $2 whore dipshit. Now, FUCK THE HELL OFF. Goddam fucking MORON. Go back and suck on your momma's ragged nipple, and NEVER EVER EVER FUCKING TELL ME I DON'T HAVE A RIGHT TO MY OPINION.

Yes, I've heard "Rock Lobster." The Star Trek joke was funnier. Especially when you remember where you've seen those weapons.

My whole point is that the Star Trek joke was obvious enough. Rock Lobster woulda put it over the top, and it has a similar groove. Well, it could be interpreted as somewhat martial, parts of it anyway.

And "Rock Lobster" ISN'T?

There's a subtle difference between obvious and cliche. I can't think of any other situation Rock Lobster would fit so well.

how about any other situation Zoiberg was in. Get it, he's a lobster!
