Does it remind anyone else of An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge?
 * It does seem very similar though it is hard to tell if that was the inspiration. I'll check the dvd to see if it's mentioned when I get a chance. Stardust8212 12:48, 6 September 2006 (UTC)

Is the liquid fuel really a goof, since the entire episode was a dream, anyway?

I deleted it, I really don't think it qualifies as a goof.

Music
Does anybody know the title or the artist of the song played while the island robots are waging war on technology? It kind of sounds like Pantera, but I'm not familiar enough with their work to tell for sure.
 * I was checking the same thing. Does someone know this? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.115.112.218 (talk) 15:32, 30 June 2008 (UTC)

Missing Reference?
When Bender breaks loose from the restaints while getting his "compatibility upgrades", it's kind of similar to Total Recall. Same with the ending.


 * I have another possible missing reference to add - the entire sequence about the group of robots waging war on technology with slightly mischievous, prank-like attacks was quite reminiscent of Fight Club, wasn't it? Bender's new-found "anarcho-primitivistic" and Neo-Luddite beliefs also mirror those of Tyler Durden and both the film/book and this episode feature a twist ending, although I have to agree with the person above me, the last scene is probably closer to Total Recall. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 91.32.211.47 (talk) 19:41, 22 May 2008 (UTC)


 * It reminds me a lot more of An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge than it does Total Recall. Shawn Dessaigne (talk) 06:10, 19 January 2010 (UTC)

___________ ok I don't know how to use wikipedia, and I don't know how to make my own post so I'm editing this one Is no one gonna say how the title is an allusion to the show Absolutely Fabulous? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.19.133.3 (talk) 23:00, 10 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Unless there's reliable sources stating this information, all of it constitutes original research and is inappropriate for inclusion. Doniago (talk) 14:24, 19 January 2010 (UTC)

Censored line?
I'm not deaf or anything, but I turn on closed captioning a lot because it's amusing. As I was watching this episode of Futurama, the part in which Bender was being downgraded in the huts was shown. You heard Bender yelp in pain and it was shown in the closed captions but one line the captions shown was the line "Ow! My ass!" but if I remember correctly I didn't hear him complain about his ass, just "Ow!" I don't know how much justice the DVD will do, so if anybody can recall the TV airing of this ep please tell me what you heard before I add anything. Absolutely Curtains 04:14, 21 January 2007 (UTC)
 * I think it indeed was a censored line, or possibly a wrong subtitle on the dvd track(Scott73337 19:58, 14 June 2007 (UTC))
 * Probably incorrect on the subtitle, that seems to happen quite a bit on the DVDs. I highly doubt the DVD would be censored (they are typically less censored than TV). I wouldn't add it either way though. Television episodes states that goofs should not be included on these pages unless they are well documented in secondary sources. My current initiative at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Futurama to bring these articles up to snuff would likely eliminate it from the article eventually anyway. Stardust8212 21:38, 14 June 2007 (UTC)

resemblance to tekken character
doesn't wooden bender resemble mokujin? SleweD 17:39, 21 January 2007 (UTC)

Resemblence to ASIMO?
Robot 1-X seems to be an upgrade of ASIMO a Honda Humanoid could there be a resemblence? Uchiha23 June 2 2007 7:50 (UTC)

Continuity?
The end of the story leaves nothing wrapped up - Bender's upgrade made him okay with robot 1-X, but the Robot 1-X they purchased at the begining of the story isn't destroyed or returned or anything. But he appears in no later eppisodes, to my knowladge, or at least not as a major character in the Delivery service. Is this discontinuity worth mentioning? --Soonlaypale 07:22, 12 August 2007 (UTC)

Thats not how weight works.
The article claims one pound of dark matter weighs over 10,000lbs. I don't think thats how it works. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.44.242.56 (talk) 05:24, 11 January 2009 (UTC)
 * It's a joke from the episode, it's not meant to be taken seriously. Stardust8212 13:50, 12 January 2009 (UTC)
