It's time for an episode inspired by the most notable thing to happen during the George W. Bush administration in 2001: tax rebates! History repeats itself 1000 years later as each member of the Planet Express crew gets a whopping $300 from President Nixon; and how they choose to spend this money results in Futurama's own version of 22 Short Films About Springfield. So listen in to learn prudent financial advice and how drinking 100 cups of coffee will give you super powers!

I've seen the Three Colors trilogy, but I don't recall the reference here. I'm also going to nitpick and mention that the proper order is Blue, White, and Red, the colors of the French flag.

I've always loved Billy West's airy "smells good" as Nixon when Fry gets the first cup of coffee.

Son of the Mask is actually a sequel to the original movie, the only actor to return was Ben Stein.

The "blank" on crack marketing tag was famously used for It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia early on, where it was called Seinfeld on crack. I remember FX hammering the commercial spots with that descriptor and even then, I thought, really? I truly love this episode of Futurama, though. The ending where Fry goes into his Flash mode and moves super fast is extremely funny as it's a very different culmination of drinking so much coffee compared to what we'd expect. I also sometimes think "whale biologist" whenever I find myself having a judgemental thought about someone.

It still kind of bugs me that the movie Over the Hedge stole a joke from this episode. A character drinks caffeine and goes so fast that the world goes in slow motion, it's the exact same scene.

There's a really neat thing going on with Farnsworth and April's subplot, where both characters are riffing on The Nutty Professor. Farnsworth is doing the classic Jerry Lewis where he turns into a younger, "cooler" version of the character whereas April's change from fat to skinny matches with the Eddie Murphy Remake from '96. It's one of those neat things I actually learned from reading a wikipedia page of the episode that really stuck with me. PS: We might have to now add "Inflation" to the Bingo Card.

I'm glad Henry brought up the Quicksilver bit because as soon as I say Days of Future Past the first time, all I could think about was Fry's coffee-induced super speed. Obviously it's not directly a rip-off, nor was Futurama the first thing to depict super speed this way, but it was a funny comparison (the first time). Then this became Quicksilver's only schtick in those movies and it got dumber and worse each time. In Apocalypse, he saves everyone (except Havok) from the X-Mansion as it's about to explode, so the scene is even more reminiscent of Futurama, and it felt much lazier and more like schlock. I was SURE Dark Phoenix would have ANOTHER scene but I never watched that movie, so I double checked on YouTube after this episode, and sure enough it has a really underbaked sequence on a shuttle of Quicksilver saving the astronauts, without even an actual licensed song this time, and it's so grey and boring to look at. I hate that both movie versions of Quicksilver never really got the essence of the character and reduced him to a meme (or just killed him off before we got to know him). -- ANYWAY, fantastic episode of Futurama. They were making some amazing episodes in the fourth season and I wish they didn't get interrupted for a few years because of stupid Fox execs.

You sorta misremembered Flop Goes the Weasel. The baby chick is most emphatically Mel Blanc doing his "black kid" voice, and has African American style hair. There’s a particularly cringeworthy moment of, "Is we MONKEYS, Mammy?" Not the high point of the Jones/Mike Maltese collaborations, though in Jones' defense he didn't go to the well of racial stereotypes as much as his peers did, and those cartoons always highlight how uncomfortable he was with the material.

between this and "A Star Is Born Again" you opened 2024 with multiple episodes mentioning Microsoft/Xbox that went live shortly after the company announced major layoffs (but you recorded them in advance)

Another link between this episode and a recent one is in the Simpsons episode "Mr. Spritz Goes to Washington" where Professor Frink is on a flying pedal bicycle and proclaims that if he stops pedaling he'll die, similar to Amy and Kif.

I know the "roof is on fire" line best from the 1996 Bloodhound Gang song "Fire Water Burn".

new theory for a 20+ year old episode: roseanne barr was absent from the spotlight for a few years in the early 2000s because she was busy recording her guide to the the world of facts! after all, she’s depicted in this episode as having a body rather than being a head in a jar.

I take the "more closely related to elephants" line to be a reference to how the names of some animals are inaccurate from a classification standpoint. Honey badgers, for example, are closer to weasels than they are other badgers. Red pandas are also closer to weasels and skunks than they are to panda bears. To address Henry's complaint about how hard it is to depict super-fast characters in movies, one film that does this well is Terry Gilliam's "The Adventures of Baron Munchausen." It's by no means a perfect movie, but Eric Idle's running sequences still hold up pretty well, nearly 40 years later.

It's me, the local Starbucks barista to clear up some stuff about the sizes! Originally, there were two sizes: short (8oz) and tall (12oz). Self explanatory really, a short cup and a tall cup. But, GOD BLESS AMERICAN CONSUMERISM we needed MORE, so GRANDE (16oz), Italian for big/large, came to be. But still, 16 ounces could not quell the beast that is the American need for excess, so eventually we hit venti (20oz), which is Italian for 20 because it's 20 ounces big. That also explains the eventually trenta (30oz) iced cup size as it's a 30 ounce cup. Sure the size names mean pretty much nothing these days, but looking at it in a long enough timeline they at one point made sense. I'm pretty sure this is all mostly correct, though idk I'm a barista, not a full on Starbucks sicko lifer
