#1 by Otis P Jivefunk

The very first Futurama christmas episode is Xmas Story & if this is anyhing to go by then I can't wait for the others. This is an excellent episode containing many funny moments such as the digital clock which Fry grabs hold of while hanging for dear life. I love Robot Santa with his guns & hand grenades (Christmas decorations) & Rudolfs nose glows red when angry.

It has a good storyline & a solid beggining middle & end. It contains a porody of Oliver & a reference of the sewer mutants, It's also brought up a debate amongst fans about Pine Trees. Overall an excellent episode.

This is possibly the funniest episode there is so far, or, well, certainly up there.
This episode has some of the best lines in the entire series: The line about global warming not happening ("Well actually it did, but, thank god, nuclear winter cancelled it out"), The line about "His belly is shaking like a bowl full of nitro glycerine" and "I'm going to trim the tree with your entrails and deck the halls with your guts. and, of course, who could forget that song (about) "Santa Clause is Gunning You Down"

Absolutely Hilarious

"I never thought it would end this way. Gunned down by Santa Claus! Honestly, I didn't see it coming!"
"What do you do when you want the trees up?" "TREES UP!"
"Xmas Eve. Another pointless day where I accomplish nothing."
"I'll be back when you least expect it. NEXT XMAS!"
This is one of the funniest episodes af all, balanced out with a good Fry/Leela subplot.

I saw this episode for the first time last Christamas Eve, and of course it was brilliant. Cool twist with the whole Santa situation, the robotic Santa getting some brilliant lines, especially his response to Fry's offer to put out milk and cookies for him. How amusing to note that not even he can find fault with Dr Zoidberg!
The little English Dickens-style robot, Tinny Tim, was cool too (you gotta love that name!). I love the highly innocent way in which he talks, even when proposing to mug Fry and Leela! Also, the ending was really good, with clever new lyrics sung to a familiar festive tune, and Santa's warning over the closing credits was inspired. It won't ruin it for you if you haven't yet seen it.

Merry X-mas to all! The thing with the skying and Fry's problem with the trees gave me one of the laughs I ever had in this series! The atmosphere is very great! This Nudity- joke and a quite good Santa (thanks to J.Goodman for this cruel voice) make this episode worth earning 5 points.

Funny, creative, good Fry/Leela plot. The robotic santa was funny.

The best part was when Santa said "My God Bender! Framing an orphan? That's so naughty I'll have to add it to my list right now." and everyone ran off.

Has anyone else noticed how high-pitched Leela's voice gets whenever she sings? Katey Sagal should tone it down a little bit.

Great holiday episode. Other sitcoms could learn from this. Truly deserving of a 5/5.

I just saw this one for the first time last night on Cartoon Network, and I was pleasently surprized. This was an excellent ep. It had a lot of humor and some of that Fry Leela stuff we all want. The Santa was hillarious too. What was his fascination with Zoidberg. The best line:

Santa: You all have been very naughty this year...exept for you Zoidberg. Here's a pogo stick.

Zoidberg: Hooray!!!!!!!!

SANTA CLAUS IS GUNING YOU DOWN.

This is so funny. The term Xmas was made for the lazy to write and with the continuing lazyness of our society I wonder how long till Xmas becomes the name of the Christmas holiday. Also the idea of a Santa Claus bot who kills you if you are naughty is even funnier. I love this episode to become a new Christmas tradition.

I liked this episode, however this was not my fauvorite. Defentley great story and concept, however I felt that some of the humor was missing. I also appreciated the tribute to Gift of the Magi story in the end (when Zoidbergs gives out hair clippings, and Amy shaves her head to buy hermes his clippings, etc.) Loved the naked proffesor humor. I hated how the writers tormented us with yet another broken kiss b/w Fry and Leela. Ohterwise good epsiode, not that funny, but good concept.

This episode is easily in my top 3; kicks the hell out of "Tale of Two Santas," because it has the emotional aspect of Fry's feelings for Leela added to one of the funniest episodes ever. The 'trees up, trees down' thing, the 'Gift of the Magi' reference ("Finally! I look as pretty as I feel!"), and Fry learning the meaning of 'X-mas' make this a great episode.

"Hey, Fry, look at me!" [does a dance; Fry bursts into tears]. "Wow, I need to work on my act."

"Girls like swarms of lizards, right?"

"Leela! You saved my life! I'm gonna get you sooo many lizards!"

"Watch out! His belly is shaking like a bowlful of nitrogliceren!"

"On the 4th day of X-mas I stole from that lady: 4 jars of pennies, 3 family photos, 2 former husbands, and a slipper on a shoe tree... yup!"

This is one of my favourite episodes. I just love all the Zoidberg jokes (aka the Apology Dance) and the fact that he was the only PE crew member who got a present was so cool...who said Zoidy was a bad mutant lobster? The T.O.W Missile, the TREES UP/DOWN joke and the digital clock were all brilliant. One of the best episodes ever!

Funny! Funny stuff! Its cool that John Goodman came and played Santa. I liked this one a bit more than "The tale of two Santas". I really liked the parts with Leelas present[the parrot]. This was a really funny episode from the beginning to the end.
-Thanks Matt for bringing futurama to tv-

Yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm glad they released this episode. It not only brings a level to Futurama the series it also brings a new level to all animated series.

This episode is great in humor, animation, plot and is especially smart.

This episode along with it's sequel are in my opinion, to of the best episodes in the series.

I love the whole feeling of this episode. Even though it's set in the future it feels very Christmas like.

I love Bender volunteering at the homeless robot shelter and goes door to door while actually going into a house and trashing it.

I'm so glad they also made a sequel to this and further expanding upon Santa's world and also introducing the gay elves.

This is a amazing episode and I give it a 4.99 because the sequel is just as good.

Sweet jokes.

Robot Santa having a Bycicle gun.
Pro.F winning an award for sking even though he was asleep.
Amy going after the injured guys.

I could go on and on.

Great episode.

Great job Futurama team!!!!!!!!!!!!

A very good and well balanced episode. I loved everything from
"I know where you live!" to,
"Yes!No!Yes!No..I'll take the parrot." and
" You're lonely, and I'm lonely. But together, we're lonely together.
Why must the futurama crew keep us suffering with Fry and Leela's near-kisses?

This was one of my favourites. The evil robot santa idea is fantastic and had me in hysterics! But the best part of the episode is the underlying hints of Fry and Leela's feeling for one another. The near kiss was great - if only they'd made it real! I absolutely loved the bit when Fry was falling off the clock and at the last moment Leela appeared out of the window and grabbed him. Call me a soppy romanatic but I really loved that! It was so sweet. Five out of five for a truly perfect episode.

The Robot Santa is a classic character. While the episode is slow in its first half, it makes up for it in the second half with its fast-paced story of both Fry finding his parrot and the Robot Santa's attacks.

Hehe. Great ep! Too bad the reset button was pushed on Leela after this or she probobly would be dating Fry. Grr! I have to say, I'm a shameless shipper of Fry+Leela. they just belong together! ARRRRGH!!!!! Anywho, I love all the bits on Evil Santa! "Oh God! He doesn't know about Santa!" Then Fry replies: "I know about Santa..." LoL! I also like: "Uh, your present may need some assembling." Brilliant! oh and "Leela! You saved my life! I am gonna get you SO many lizards!" lol lol lol! Superb! Still not my fave, I don't think ANYTHING could possibly top "The Sting" but a wonderful ep.

By the way, the song at the end: GOLD! loved this ep! And after Fry risks his life to get Leela a presant she STILL isn't dating him. sigh, some things just don't make sence in this world of ours (and the animated Si-Fi world)

Magnificent episode! Matt Greoning, I tip my hat to you... just let me find it and put it on first.

As far as Christmas episodes go, this could be a lot worse, but the plot and humour are just a little below Futurama's usual standard and I guess I'm the only person in the world who doesn't think John Goodman is the funniest thing in the world.

One of my all-time favorite episodes. "You're lonely, and I'm lonely--but together, we're lonely together" is not only one of my favorite lines in the series, but also such a bittersweet way of describing the losses both Fry and Leela have endured. This episode has a lot of heart, *and* it brings the funny. What more could you ask for?
