Whole episode was a shitpost.

A nauseous, relenting shitpost with a failure of an ending and an even bigger failure of an overall story.

One celebrity’s so phoned in you barely notice (it’s Bill Nye) and the main guest star’s someone I don’t even fucking know (it’s whoever Cara is.)

I’m not gonna dunk on Disenchantment when it doesn’t deserve it and I stopped on the second order, but Cara strikes me more as a Disenchantment character than a Futurama character. She’s a real life person, but I just mean the performance. I don’t know. Maybe it’s because Disenchantment’s grossout is a smidge more archaic than Futurama’s. Or I’m just a prude. More of an observation than a critique, but whatever. She was there.

It took half the fucking episode for Zoidberg to finally put an interesting angle into the episode and then he also becomes no help at all.

They refrain from having Bender repeat the infamous “do a flip” line, only to basically say the exact same joke twice within the very same minute, and much less enthused.

I’m just at a loss because usually even the most shitposty of sitcom episodes can hold some type of momentum together, but that episode had none of that. It just simply wasn’t coherent or funny.

This episode made me feel like I’m suffering from a concussion that I can’t even place.
