One of the funnier eps of the third season. Roberto was inspired and tghe whole mental institution part was great. Classic line: "Do you have a better hostage?" or something in the vicinity. :)

I dunno why so many people disliked this episode. It was the highlight of the 3rd season for me! The story was great and it had some funny gags, like the Mad Hatter telling everyone to change places, Malfunctioning Eddy, the hold-up at the bank, Fry thinking he's a "food-mo-tron" and then a battle droid. Some funny stuff!

Yeah, for me the most funiest episode of third season (season 3 is very good, but haven�t so much episodes with so really good humor). Many cryzy ideas and dialogs.

Very good, we are introduced to one of Benders old friends called Roberto who is totally insane. Roberto is a cool character but is probably the most crazy cartoon character I've ever seen, for example he robs the same bank three times! His voice is really cool and adds plenty of charater, I have a feeling this is not the last time we will see him, which is nice.

The plot had a good pace and there were some brilliant jokes like fry pissing in the plant pot and plenty of great jokes with Fry in the insane asylum.

Great eps.
I liked:
'look, i barly exploded'
'we have medication for that.'

And I really liked Leela's reaction to Fry thinking he is a robot.

And:
'Don't try anything this glass is laser proof'
'Fire!'
'AH! Lasers!'

LOL!

Great episode! The scenes with all the robots changing places at the table and Roberto practicing his knife stabbing technique in Fry's cell were particularly funny! Not to mention, Fry and Bender's lawyer which appeared to be a giant chicken of some sort. Very nice!

My 2nd favourite episode behind "The problem with popplers"

I think the courtroom scene was one of my favourite Futurama scenes.
The Judge and the Chiken Laywer were brilliant and i hope i can find other episodes with them in.
Roberto was also brilliant, Bender was right when he called him a lunitic.

"Well for one they dun hired my to represent them"
"Insanity plea is excepted!"

"I'm thinking of a number between 1 and 10, guess it and you die first, go!"
"Er, ok, um...66-ish..."
"66? 66!? Aw man! Now thats all i can think about!!"

By far my favourite Futurama episode, Roberto is slightly better than Geese, meaning that from now on instead of whispering "I stain ma hans wid yu brud" into the ears of my enemies I shall merely scream the wonderful = "I gotta practice ma stabbin'".

Top stuff.

Please excuse my poor spelling and grammar as this episode like, totally rocked my face.

This was without a doubt one of the weakest episodes of the series - certainly of the 3rd season. The plot was unconvincing, the characters we're introduced to not funny at all and about the only scene with any redeeming quality is the courtroom scene particularly Fry's lawyer. Oh well thank goodness there are lots of other episodes...

A solid episode somewhat derailed by Roberto, who wasn't so much funny as he was seriously annoying. Hermes was great in this one, including my favorite line, "Don't be a hero, Fry! It's not covered by the medical plan!" The scenes with Fry in the asylum were very funny, making this episode worth seeing.

I've only watched futurama twice over the past several years, and have always considered the show only o.k. I just saw Insane last night and about five seconds ago became hooked!

Roberto, was AWESOME!!!!!!

I pee'd in my pants the whole way through (I'm still laughing as I type and recall different scenes).

This episode borders on Genius!

I want the script from that episode. I will memorize every line, especially Roberto's.

Mad Funny (hatter style)!

I guess this episode varies from person to person. I personally thought it was hilarious. Especially since I had seen "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" for the first time the night before I watched this. The guy's teeth Bender adjusted to get in the hosre race reminded me of the baseball game scene in "Cuckoo's Nest." Actually, quite a bit of the mental hospital humor had me doubled over, especially the part with Frankie. Judge Whitey is also a very funny character in my personal opinion, very reminiscent of Ted Knight's role in "Caddyshack" (Judge Smales). I loved this episode, and the end with Roberto slamming into the pavement and the cops agreeing to meet his demands was a great way to end it.

I really loved this episode! It's one of my favorites. Some people didn't like it. However, everyone is entitled to their opinion. I love the lines in this one. The first time I saw it, the blood on Fry's arm kind of grossed me out. I really like judge Whitey. His voice is so cool. All the robots in the insaine place were really funny. I think the hair robot is freaky though. "I'm a pretty girl. I'm a pretty girl. I'm a pretty girl." I laughed so hard when I heard that! I felt bad for poor Fry. The other line I like is: Lincoln: "I was born in 200 log cabbins." Anyway I think it was one of the best episodes ever! GREAT JOB GUYS!

Roberto rocks, funny plot, overall AWESOME episode...

I don't understand how a futurama fan could not love this episode.

This is the funniest Futurama episode I've ever seen. Poor Fry! When he was spared further exploding robots to be stuck with Roberto practising his stabbin all night, I couldn't breathe, I laughed so hard!

BRILLIANT!

Leela: I'm gonna remind Fry who he truly is.
Farnsworth: You're going to do his laundry.
AMY SLAPS HIM WHILE LEELA PULLS FRY CLOSE TO HER SO HER HIPS ARE RIGHT NEXT TO HIS
Leela: Fry, this is for you.
SHE KISSES HIM then PAUSE
FRY: *Beep*
LEELA GROANS IN DEFEAT

My favorite part of that episode. It has Leela so flustered because of Fry she trys to remind him that he's human by kissing him. ;) which she probably enjoyed. She is still debating for the rest of the seasons her feeling on Fry, but she can't hide them for that long, now can she? Something else, If she does like him why didn't she try to grope him when no one was looking. OH, SHIT! I didn't say anything nasty, I kept that in my own little perverted mind.

The main point of this episode is that it was actually not just funny, but pretty creepy and scary. Fry getting manhandled in the robot insane asylum was frightening, because they actually showed him suffering. He had no food, he was getting shocked by the staff, he was stuck in an asylum shaped like a box with psychotic roomates. This is nightmarish stuff. When everybody just shrugged their shoulders about the mixup, and Bender just ignored him, I was actually scared for Fry, because he wasn't getting out any time soon. Imagine yourself in that situation. I think the episode managed to do that, and it scared the crap out of me, enough to buy that Fry would crack. Damn.

Easily in my top-ten Futurama episode list. The whole Season 3 DVD-box is the one DVD-set with a lot of boring and unmemorable episodes (A Leelah Of Her Own, A Pharaoh To Remember, Future Stocks, That's Lobstertainment, Where The Buggalo Rome). But also it contains most of my favourite alltime episodes.

This one features one of Futurama's best sidecharacters. The nutcase robot Roberto whom makes funny noises when he's stabbing with his trusty knife.

Most scenes are hilarious but some favourites are:

* The whole breakout sequence ("lay down and play dead and don't ham it up", "I'm thinking of escaping, you in? Or do I have to kill you so you don't squeal").

* When Bender pretends that he thinks he's Napoleon ("Je suis Napoleon...a ha ha naw I'm kidding I'm not").

* Frankie who thinks he works in a lunchroom (and actually does). "How's Working in the lunchroom Frankie?; It's alright!; "Poor, Frankie".

etc etc.

oh my first review. forever unread. anyways, i really don't see why this episode shouldn't get a 5. it has everything and there wasn't a boring moment. it had a lot of really good jokes, everyone seemed to have something funny to say, an engaging storyline and a nice moment for fry.

many many highlights:
fry "watering" the plant

the asylum stuff was great, esp what fry goes through. fry wearing nothing but a butt bearing hospital gown his whole stay and the way the strap jacket went on him like a happy strap.

the crazy robots were pretty good too, like the only one who believes fry is a human, who also believes himself is a human. and i also loved the malfunctioning vending machine that won't take your dollar.

prof. farnsworth's parting line to fry in the asylum: "it's ok fry,i too once spent a nightmarish time in a robot asylum...but now its almost over!! so long!"

prof. farnsworth: "that's going to bleed when my heart beats"

roberto's voice was perfectly psycho.
roberto: thanks for helpng me escape.
bender: aw it was nothing-
roberto screaming: IT WAS NOT NOTHING!!!
let me repay you pal.

haha and i love how bender says "hey i got a place i always go to hide after a crime", meaning planet express. haha.

and hurrah, fry gets a kiss. i love his "beep" afterwards. and what sucky robots he made but how he'd defennd himself: "yes im a robot. i just haven't found my primary function yet."

bender: uhh fifty..six..ish?
roberto: aw man 56?!!

and for some reason, i found zoidberg's litle parts incredibly cute and funny. he's such a positive thinker.

Definitely one of my top 5 favourite episodes (maybe even #1 but it's hard to decide). It has a lot more jokes than most of the other episodes, most of the jokes were hilarious, it has a great story, and Roberto is one of my favourite characters ever on the show. The robot insane asylum and the robots inside were so well done and interesting. Also, it's one of the few episodes that are so good you can watch them over and over and they never get old. Great work on this episode.

This is probably my most favourite episode of Futurama, aside from the less comedic, "The Luck of the Fryish" and, "Jurassic Bark". The jokes are persistently funny, the gags are gold. "56!? 56!?". Fry shines bright, Bender gets in good lines, and Roberto and Malfunctionin' Eddie top it off without making it seem to complicated or grabby. Perfect episode - 5/5!
