A great episode with many funny moments and lines. I would have liked to see more of the planet and Morbo but it was still great, just not one of my favourate season 2 episodes.

I loved it. The hippie bashing had me laughing so hard and his demise was great. To make it even better, the Zapper had some great lines "A group of super verile men scoring around the clock....Kiff, clear my schedule." I just saw the rerun, and even though I knew it was coming I still couldn't stop laughing. It's that good!

I love any episodes with Lerr and the rest of the Omicrons in.
This was also great because Zapp and Kif were in it.
I loved the "Wingus and Dingus" bit.

This is probably the weakest of all the Season 2 episodes. It stopped being funny after the first five minutes, and a lot of the characters seemed oddly out of character here. Leela, for a start, was incredibly spiteful to the animal rights protestors, and rather stupid in the way she responded to Zapp's plan to give up an ape instead of her. And, at some points, Zapp even seemed reasonable!

Throughly excellent, this is probably the most consistent, well-devised and, yet, so cunning and devious episode on Futurama's second season.
All the things to love about Futurama are here (interactions between characters, Bender's lines, cheap future depiction, comic aliens, etc. etc.), and the ep even takes one step beyond, by making a point about the "protection" of intelligent animals from Mankind.
And, of course, the traditional mark of Futurama's intelligent humour brands the whole episode through...

- "Unless this is a nude lovin', get the hell off my property!"
- "Pfff, you can't OWN property, man."
- "Yes, I can, and that's because I'm not a penniless hippie."

...and other snippets, like Leela crashing into the billboard exactly like on the credits presentation, Taranga Leela and Phillip Fry, the Popplers songs, and the hilarious Omnicronians... my God, this episode is so dense in good stuff, that it is absolutely inexcusable if anybody misses it out. Definitely one of the best Futurama episodes ever. Grade A++.

Best. Episode. Ever. Lrrr makes the episode: "Be quiet, you're getting cold!" "The one they call Smelly Hippie is correct." "Oh, all right, cottage cheese..." "I filled up on nuts at the negotiation." Immortal lines, and there's a dozen more in this ep, too...

After watching every episode multiple times (behold the power of the internet), I personally think this is the best episode ever. It doesn't have the best plot (Luck of the Fryish) or the best one-liners (Deep South), but overall this episode flows together perfectly into one sexy little beast.

"There was something funny in that hippy."

Omocronians rule!

Highlight for me was when Jurrd (you know the wee one, likely iv'e spelled his name wrong) Says Mama first. Leela throws him down and licks her fingers.

Jurrd:'There are many reasons to eat, hunger, boredom, wanting to be the worlds fattest man, but not for revenge. Besides Leela's my friend.'
Lrrr:'Iff iff frue urf-ing?'
Leela:'Arr, urraheuuhh!'

This episode was freeking hilarious. The hippy was great--expecially when he got eaten.

Lrr:
Woh, My hands are huge. They can touch everything but themselves...

The best part was when Zap tried to switch Leela with the ape.

Leela: It does'nt even look like me.
(the ape scratches its butt)

Bender and Fry: Oh yah thats definatly Leela.

One of the best scenes ever!

GREAT!

Ranks as one of my absolute favorites.

From Zoidberg's, "These are really tasty like an unguarded penguin nest."

The the Prof's exchange with the hippie.

Farnsworth:"Unless this is a nude love-in. Then get get the hell off my property!"
Hippie:"Hey you can't own property man."

Throw in Lrrr and Nndd and it's a Classic.

Too bad FOX doesn't feel that way about FUTURAMA.

Oh well.

So far, the most darkly humourous episode of the series. The death of 198 million babies, the most vicious attack on vegetarians I've ever seen, and the mere presence of the Omicrons! A keeper.

Fry: "Look, Leela. Even if you've heard one talk, that doesn't mean it's intelligent. I mean, parrots talk. And we eat them, right?"
Bender: "Yeah! Maybe it just learned to talk as a parlour trick. Like Fry."
Fry: "Like Fry! Like Fry!"

to earth and killed whomever they
wanted,(Pres McNeal) but when there kids got eaten they wanted to eat each human
for each child that was eaten?
Lrr shoots his ray gun at a waiter then points it at Zapp(The one who
should have gotten gunned).The best part was the hippie being eaten! OH What good Parent leaves their kids unwatched? Lrr has a bad temper, and the Omicrons are
so stupid they make Zapp look smart!!! Good Episode

Hmmm...For some reason, this one makes me think. I can't quite decide if a three is right for it or not.
But annnnywaaaaay...
Ooh, this one was fun to watch. ^_^ Sort of bland, but fun. And I might not feel the same later; I've got insomnia and am tired. So yeah. I have to say, Leela's poppler was adorable. *squeezes it* Now, to end, as always, with my favorite quote from the episode:
"Don't we eat our mommys when we grow up?"
And then Leela tosses him to the real mother. XD

By far the best futurama episode ever. The line about the firemen and math teachers is probably my favourite line ever. And the hippy was also hilarious. As always the omicranians were superb. The bottom line is that this episode is pure genious.

Fry & Bender: Pop a Poppler in your mouth
When you come to Fishy Joe's.
What they're made of is a mystery
Where they come from no one knows,
You can pick 'em, you can lick 'em, you can chew 'em, you can stick 'em.
If you promise not to sue us you can shove one up your nose.

Lrrr, Ndnd and little Jrrr...

...do the omicronians have something against vowels?

By the way, the hippies name is Free Waterfall Jr.. Free Waterfall Sr. appears in "The Birdbot of Ice Catrez" Old Man Waterfall appears in "A Taste Of Freedom" and Free Waterfall III appears in a comic book called "Futurama Adventures" (He's on a game show hosted by Morbo called "Who's dying to be a millionaire")

I <i>loved</i> this episode and below is my short summary for the episode:

The Planet Express crew find an unknown planet and find a tasty food and bring them back to Earth and call them Popplers. They then start to sell them and then sell them to Fishy Joe's, a restaurant, where they become a big hit. Protesters led by Free Waterfall Junior protest and boycott Fishy Joe's because "they're penniless hippies and are vegetarians who think that people shouldn't eat things that feel pain". Leela then picks up a poppler, which calls her "mama". The other crewmembers then find out that Popplers are talking and they also try to free the popplers. Later, while on the news, the Omicronians come to tell them that they have been eating their young and want to eat every human on Earth. Since there are not that many humans on Earth than the Popplers, they decide to eat the first to eat a Poppler, which is Leela. Zapp Brannigan and Kiff then dress up a monkey to fool the Omicronians that it is Leela, but Free Waterfall Junior defends the monkey. Right before Lurr eats Leela, the Poppler that talked to Leela, Jurr tells the people of Earth that they should eat other things, but not intelligent things. Lurr then eats Free Waterfall Junior before he leaves and he gets intoxicated from it. The episode ends with the crew eating various animals, including a dolphin who had spent all of his money on instant lottery tickets.

Didn't like this one at all -- like the Simpsons episode "Homer's Enemy", it just left a nasty taste in my mouth (no pun intended). Mind you, I'm probably the only vegetarian on the Internet... I don't mind *jokes*, it's just the "all vegetarians = scum" philosophy of this episode I hated (even Leela sneers at them, and she's supposed to be the sensible, caring one!). Personally I blame those PETA idiots in America for giving us veggies a bad name ;-)

It is indeed a very hillarious episode, and the sales pitch makes me laugh even after seeing it several times, but there is and small issue i continuesly think about.
They sell 195.000.000.000 popplers, they get 2 dollers for 12 and 50% of the offcast goes to Bender and Fry. Concluding they earned 16.250.000.000 dollers, wheres the money ? they are as poor as usual :/

One of the best futurama episodes ever. I love the clever writing in this episode. plus it has my top 3 futurama quotes:

3:
Bender: "I found some rocks! You guys eat rocks, right?"
Leela: "No..."
Bender: "Not even if they're saut�ed in a little mud?"

2:
Bender: "You know what these would go great with? Rocks."

1:
Zoidberg: "What do you call them?"
Bender: "Well, they are tasty, right? Let's call them tasticles."
Crw: "Eww. Oh my no."
Leela: "We can't call them that..."
