 When the Planet Express gang goes camping in the woods for their
 company outing and Fry goes searching for an encounter with his
 favorite legendary figure, Bigfoot -- he is beamed aboard a spaceship

> Did You Notice...
========================================================================

 ... The Bigfoot educational was copyrighted in 2962 and only most of
     the rights were reserved?  {MW}

 ... The Ranger got the same kind of snap-shot camera as Bender (in
     previous episodes)?  {MW}

 ... For some reason, everyone is wearing head gear on the trip and in
     the ranger station?  {MW}

 ... Aliens hunting without a license look like backwardish rednecks?
     They even got trucks with old-school tire wheels.  {MW}

========================================================================

 + Pez (candy)
   - Bender got a Pez dispenser featuring Calculons head. This candy was
     invented in Austria back in 1927 and became popular as PezPals in
     the 60s. Still seem to be popular in the 3000s.  {MW}

 + Sega Genesis
   - The professor uses this in an exclamation to express his disbelieve
     ("What in Sega Genesis happened to you?"). It's a 16 bit gaming
     console by Sega (called "Megadrive" in some regions) which lost
     ground against the Super Nintendo.  {MW}

 + Spanish Fly (aphrodisiac)
   - The episode title. The Spanish fly is a beetle that was crushed and
     dried to create a powder said to arouse women. In fact, it creates
     an itching urinary irritation.  {MW}

     episode.  {MW}

> Animation, continuity, and other goofs
========================================================================

 ... In 4ACV15 "The Farnsworth Parabox", there is a paper laying around
     called Nosy Enquirer. Its headline is "Bigfoot turns 80". Wonder
     how he became a myth after only 2 episodes. Then again, the
     magazine could have been a satire paper.  {MW}

 ... The professor's hat disappears when he jumps up to question the
     ranger. That or he is really polite and took it of before speaking
     up.  {MW}
