Anyone else think the writing in this episode was weak? The characters felt so fundamentally different and the jokes felt so lazy compared to the previous seasons. I’m staying optimistic about the rest of the season but this one left me pretty disappointed. I’d hate to see bender headed in the ‘jackass homer’ direction
I’m glad I’m not alone in feeling that way The worst scene for me was when they were making the candy (a plot point that went nowhere). The professor’s “diabetic coma!” line followed by “It’s too sweet, better add more sugar” from Fry is just so lazy. The dialogue is just mirroring the action and not adding anything and the jokes are just garbage
