Funny episode. Lots of great Bender lines. I give it an A

The best:

"Hey, do I preach to you when you're lying stoned in the gutter? No... so beat it!"

Dyns:

The dead (or perhaps just sleeping) floating guy (along with fish) in the tube in the bad neighborhood? (Okay, pretty obvious)

The Jamaican guy (Julius? ) keeps using similes about Green snakes and sugar cane? (Well, 2)

The open crate of "Robot Legs and Thighs"

The Baptism ceremony is actually pretty short...

Despite Benders statement "What kind of party is this? There's no booze and only one hooker", none of the robots present really looks like a hooker.

Hotel room doors in the future don't have a peephole...

Goofs:

In the Robot Minister's speech, he should says sinners will be uploaded to Robot Hell, not downloaded.

Right after Bender hugs Fry, Amy doesn't have a hat. Earlier, she did, and she does again when they all cower...(after Bender finishes his speech)

Refs:

"Hell is other robots" (the brochure the robot devil gives Bender) - Jean Paul Sarte said this, I think. Only about people.

I think those flying robots are a reference to a video game, but I can't remember which one...

Most the others are pretty obvious...

While by the actual terms of "uploading" and "downloading" you're correct, "downloading" sounds like a much more appropriate term referring to hell, since it's usually thought of as down.

Actually, if you consider "robot hell" as the server, then sending a file/robot soul to it would be uploading. You download from a server to your PC, you upload from your PC to the server.

well if you think of them being on the server currently they would have to be downloaded to the hell/comuter [email] wrote in message ...

Also, Nibbler gets left behind when Fry and Leela fall through the trapdoor into Robot Hell. They never go back for him! :(

One goof that keeps popping up is with the heads from the past. .. they all look like they do today, so does that mean that the heads are to be preserved sometime in the near future? Or perhaps that in the future they have way (plastic surgery) to *really* make one look young again?

Also, while in "hell," none of the Beasties are in their jars.

That's what really had me worried. If major celebs have their heads in jars a thousand years from now, they'd likely have to die within the near future in order to look the way they do. Either that, or the formeldahyde in the jars helps them become younger.

That was likely intentional. How else are they able to make the scratchy-scratchy sounds with the hard drive if their heads are incased in jars?

We've seen several occasions in which heads weren't in jars. Nixon's head knocked about outside its jar during the pilot episode. i'd guess the jar is not necessary to keep the head alive (i'd guess it's the doojobby around the neck), but is used to keep it preserved. Maybe.

or maybe it's a cartoon.

No it's not. Listen carefully -- he says "hookah", not "hooker". Note the appearance of the apparatus all the other robots are jacking on with.

That pun slipped by you? The thing off which they were all taking hits was a hookah. It even bubbled like one.

Well, I knew it was a hookah, but I would have sworn he said "hooker", not "hookah".

Plus, why would he be disappointed in only one hookah (or the robotic equivalent of such), if he didn't want to jack on using one? (He did have to be talked into it). OTOH, it's a running joke that Bender loves hookers.

If you listen to all the .wav files on the web now, he does say "hooker" -- going back to the original post commenting that not of the bots present looked like a hooker. Maybe he though the hookah bong thing in the middle was a hooker? -ed

one sentence sums it all up...

OH MY GOD! I WENT TO ROBOT HELL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Also, when Bender pickpockets the robot-devil's wallet, he rips off Bender's arm, then Bender falls through a chute, and his arm is back.
