Good ep, except that Fox jumped into it here AFTER the Bender "what if" so that the morons at the NFL desk could jerk around. The actual game was over at exactly 6:00 pm CST. No respect for this show, I tell ya.

Okay, that was laugh out loud funny. The second part was absolutely hilarious. I love the "all your bases are belong to us" reference. Very well thought out. The first and third parts weren't as funny, but at least Simpsons level funny. A great episode!

Great stuff, finally we get to see the darn thing. I liked the first AOI better though, although this one had its moments. I hope Scruffy makes more appearances in AOI3. The best parts were Bender's antenna and Leela using the PE ship on Amy. LOL!

The first part was great. The antenea, had me laughing for a while. I didnt like it that bender died :( Wooo

Second part, omg, I am complete. I couldnt stop laughing, it was so perfect. Fry was so casual..."Oh, I had another guy" and donkey kong, haha, and the space invadersm so great. "Speed up, reverse direction" So great. The whole episode shoulda been this one skit.

The third part was dissapointing. After such a great beginning, I was hoping for some other 1 eyed peoples, but being a witch was cool too. Haha she turned em all into frogs. Who needs courage when you have a gun?

This was by far the best episode I have ever seen of any series ever in my life. Now, if only the piraters would hurry up and get this episode on morpheus...grrr...

I thought this episode was great, even though it's hard to find one that isn't. I liked all the skits, and the gaming one was good, but I think they could have made it a little better still.

And as a side note, that Simpsons.....I don't even know why I watch that show anymore, why can't they just end it already!!!! this is almost as bad as in that movie se7en when the bad guy kept that poor guy alive for almost a year using needles and vitamins! Just end it!!!!

Heh, this episode rocked. The Space Invaders bit was too much .. blasting away to Rush's "Tom Sawyer" reminded me of my old arcade days back in the early 80's :) The "All your base" reference was really good too. I found myself laughing out loud on that one ... also in the last skit, the part where the witch slapped her "vewing mirror" around and said "Damn this DSL" LOL good stuff !!

What happened here? That was horrible! :( Especially the second story had potential and could have been really great and original I think but it was amazingly poorly executed.

About the Simpsons comments: I agree with everyone else that said the show is horrific now. It's pure torture nowadays, and just embarassing when you think where the show comes from. It's tragic to witness the show which I used to consider the greatest and most brilliant television series ever plummet down to such an unbelievably low level. Just cancel the show already! It should've been done ages ago :o

Definately below my expectations in contrast to the first Anthology of Interest. A lot of it was just silly in my opinion. The only thing I enjoyed was the 2nd story with the video games, really. I had friends over that hadn't seen Futurama and this episode was kind of embarrassing to introduce them to, with the newly-made human Bender spewing up a storm. I didn't find much of anything funny about the 3rd story, except Leela squashing Amy with the Planet Express ship's stairs. If this is a sign of how low the writers were on ideas at the end of season 3, I'd hate to see what the season 4 episodes have to offer!

But of course, many think that these "Anthology of Interest" episodes are meant to be stupid and that I'm being too harsh. But I think that the first AoI had a lot more dignity to its stories..

A superb episode, especially the second part obviously. The space invaders was just classic - "you should have shot where I was going to be, not where I was".

The third part was ok, the funniest bits I thought was bender drinking the alcohol with a straw, and zoidberg's "I think there's a problem with the upsatirs toilet". I haven;t laughed that hard for a while.

I thought that the first one was the best one. There were some funny parts, "Hmmm, maybe I should wiggle it around a little." The second part was okay.

This was the best episode evr. I loved the second act about the world being more like a video game. I twas clever, funny, and even better than I expected it to be. The opener was good too. I liked it at the end when all the scientists partied with Bender. That was great. The 3rd act Wizard Of Oz was great as well. It was perfectly executed. I hope Futurama has many Seasons to come.

I liked it quite a bit. I think the writers are doing a great job at doing a Simpsons-esque recurring/recycling character theme, as well as good self-parody (mockingly 'adding' characters as they added Scruffy in during the first AOI). I think the content was good, execution was O.K.... the video-game episode COULD have been worthy of an Oscar, but instead it settled for a Grammy. Also, in case you didn't notice, there are a few questions the writers hint at asking the "What-if" machine, but are only slowly doing... such as "What if Bender was a human" (hinted in first AOI)... I'm glad they only revealed so much (and didn't show Leela's skit). I do wish they let some different characters ask "What-ifs" next time (Zoiberg, Prof, and Amy anyone?). 5 Points by far!

I like American Football, but
not enough to have it be pre-empted.
But to the rest of the men in the
USA, football is life. It's so huge
here, like your european football.
It's not as huge that people get in
melees over it, but it's pretty huge.
Anyway, I'm still wondering how
people hated the simpsons. Was it
the storyline, or what? I found the
first part hilarious cuzit was a huge
attack on our idiot president's
enviromental plan. And honestly, the
jokes were great. It was like
watching a Jackie Chan movie. Who
really gives a f@#! about the plot????
And to the people that thought the
Bender/human thing was excellent,
what are you on? It started out strong,
but they could've done a better jon with
it. It degenerated into disgusting humor
that was more Tom Green than futurama.
the second part was great, though.
and the third part was so-so. this
ep could've been much better. It
wasn't as bad as Bendless Love,
but the first AOI was just great.
you'd think they could've followed
up a little better. not thebest ep
ever (but not the worst).

Pretty funny in it's own right, but as a successor to AOI I it was a disappointment.

There where some good ideas in here, that could have turned out as classics, but the stories somehow got lost.

"I, Meatbag": A very good idea, and it started out great. The atenna joke was spot on, and it was hillarious to see how Bender totally lost control of himself. I could have done without the puke-scene though, that was a little too inmature. His fascination of human emotions and temptations was great though. The ending was weak, pity. Fat Bender just wasn't funny, and the Nobel thing wasn't either. Really pulls this story down.

"Raiders of the Lost Arcade": I was one of those kids who spent a great deal of their youth (and allowances) in video arcades, so this really struck a cord with me. It was great to see all those old video games characters again, but the story was little else than cameos. I didn't laugh much through this. I like Lrr's line about the Nintendians demand though: "Quarters, a million allowances worth of quarters", LOL. Great nostalgia, nothing much in the laugh department though.

"Wizzin'": Easily my favourite here. I like Leela killing Amy after another wisecrack. Seems like it'll be a recurring thing, can't say I'm against that ;). Excellent Zoidy in this one too, great remarks: "Why did I have to take a cab?" and "I'm the other guy. Courage, not enough of it. Need some from, Whats-his-name". LOL Good story, and some very funny jokes. And Leela as a witch? Truely enchanting! Best story in AOI II.

Suming up: Great ideas, good starts, but not so good follow through. Good thing they saved the best story for last. I'd give it a 3.

Best Anthology of Interest story is still "What if Leela was more impulsive, just a little, not too much?"

A solid ep. I give it 5 stars mainly because I was feeling very deprived of new eps until this one aired. Otherwise, I probably would have given it a 4. The Bender as a human story didn't do much for me, but the video game world story was excellent! And as for the Wizard of Oz parody, let's just say I'm a sucker for the movie spoofs. :)

I've finally had the chance to see it and it was good, but I didn't enjoy it anywhere near as much as last weeks "Roswell that Ends Well". I found the three stories to be about equal in quality, none were bad and all had great moments but none of them gave me the feeling I had after watching the first two parts of "AOI 1".

Bender as a human started off great, the antenna joke was superb and so were his other initial responses to being a human. I felt let down after the first half, when it started to go all weird like a modern Simpsons episode. there was too much of Bender being massive, it would have been fine if there was only a few seconds of it but it just went stupid and the jokes became slap stick.

I really enjoyed Fry’s life as a video game; it brought back memories of my retro gaming years. Some really classic video games were used and it was decent enough. I just wish they had made it 3D, like the 3D Homer segment of "THoH VI". I would have liked to see some Sonic references too. Having said that it was pretty funny and entertaining and I enjoyed seeing Lrrr again. It's probably better than I made it out to be, it's just that I wanted it to do different things and had my own ideas. It had a lot more potential, especially given the fact that the Futurama team are capable of some glorious 3D effects.

The final part was in my opinion the best. As a child I always used to watch "The Wizard of Oz" and it helped me to enjoy this segment all the more. From the first moment, even the way Leela went into the dream from the What If machine banging her head was class. The visuals were beautiful, I love it when they're full of bright colors and detailed scenery. Seeing Amy get killed by Leela again was cool, a trend that’s forming amongst "AOI" episodes. I loved the way many secondary characters were used to portray Wizard of Oz characters. Using Mom as the witch was the obvious thing to do although I'm glad she got killed before we had to see too much of her. I loved the jokes and the way they made fun of the film, decent stuff but as a whole didn't end as cleverly as the first "AOI".

Overall after seeing it once I would say it's about average, some very good parts let down by some stupidity. I prefer the first "AOI" however I found all three parts of "AOI 2" were better than the final part of "AOI 1", which was nice. Maybe I'm being too harsh, after all, in many cases a Futurama episode can get much better after watching it again and again. Who knows, one day it might be my favorite. I would rate it a 3.5 but as I'm so generous I rounded it up.

Gah.. I thought Roswell was bad, but this was even worse. AOI1 wasn't that great either, but at least the fing-longer joke at the end was funny. There was hardly anything to laugh about in this one.

The first act was the worst. There were a few good bits, like the antenna joke, and seeing the Professor partying, but most of the fat Bender / Nobel prize scene was just boring. Nice to see Wurnstrom back, though.

The second one was better.. Not really anything FUNNY, but some of the references were clever, like Donkey Kong jumping on the building, and Mario. I must admit, though, I think I'm just a few years too young to get who those characters at the end were.

The third act was the best. Great to see Mom again! "You wanna get adopted, you little skank?" Amy wasn't bad either, and I liked Zoidberg's 'cab' line. Still not that great, though.

I really hope I don't grow to hate Futurama like I hate the Simpsons. I forgive this one for being over-wacky because it was an AOI episode, but I really hope it gets better next week.

I've watched this episode three times in two days, and it just gets better each time. Although the first part loses the plot once Bender's gone fat, this is a brilliant episode. The antenna joke, Fry and co. in the Pacman maze, Fry taking on the Space Invaders and Leela turning Fry, Bender and the Professer into frogs are all great moments, but the bit where Leela squishes Amy with the PE ship's steps is absolutely classic.

Another supoib installment to 'Futurama' history. The best story, as with 'Anothology of Interest 1', was the last one, this time told for Leela. Here Amy, Fry and Hermes were particularly funny in their 'Wizard of Oz' Roles.
The first story was probably the weakest, which says wonders for the other two, as it was hilarious!

Hermes actually had the most intriguing line, at th end - "There's always next year, Professor. There's always next year." I think I speak for all other Futurama fans in hoping that he's right and there will actually BE a next year...

One of the funniest and greatest episodes i've ever seen.
Since i've never seen the 1st one i can't say this is better than Anthology of intest 1.
I just re-watched this episode and it is now number 9 in my top 10 favourite episodes.
The first and second stories were best, i didn't really like the first one, but it was still good.

Favourite quotes:

Fry:"No Bender, you'll make god cry!"

Mario:"Mama miya! The crule meatball of war has rolled into our laps, and ruined our white pants of peace!"

Lerr:"Tremble in fear at our THREE diferent kinds of ships!"

Queen Omicron:"What are your orders Lerr?"
Lerr:"Drop down, increse speed, and change direction!"

Zoidberg:"And i'm the other guy, courage, not enough of it, need some from whats-his-name"

Zoidberg:"What, do i smell or something?" {sniffs armpit} "Aww..."

Zoidberg:"And why did I have to take a cab?"

Professor:"I am the Professor, great and,er, forgetful!"

Professor:"Nonsence! Now click your big honking boots together three times, and wish to go home to Kansas, to live in poverty with your dirt farming, teat holderlin andrin uncle!"

Awesome episode. The video game one was too much.. I think I burst something laughing at that one. Leela's dream was alright.. it had some good lines like the courage/gun one by Farnsworth, etc. And the Bender one was cool.. I love the little montage of Bender gorging on life to.. what was it? Gloria Estefan?

Awesome episode.

Really loved this one.... the human bender was not too funny... the video game really had some great jokes in it... but the third part really was excellent!!!! I don't know why everybody dislikes it, it's such a well-done 'homage' to the 1939 classic!!! (Just see that movie and view this episode again, you'll roll over the floor I tell you!)
Really really entertaining!

The video game segment makes this episode. Mario, Donkey Kong (smashing the UN), Pacman, Asteroids, space invaders, Battlezone, missile command, moon patrol references and the appropriate sound effects made this episode superior. I had more laughs/smiles during these 10 minutes of TV than I do in 6 hours of sitcoms.

"That's so plausible, I can't believe it!" - nice line

"What if..that thing I just said?" -classic Fry

This is a great episode, well not all off it but the part when Fry said "what if the world would be more like a computer game" is fantastic, it's totaly amazing and funny all the time. The other two question was not so funny, rater disapionting. I give it in the end 4, but if it was only the first I would gave it 6 (or more) :) Keep on with the goood work.

another anthology of interest, and once again, Amy, Hermes and Dr Zoidberg are left out of the loop, as we focus on Bender, Fry & Leela:

Part 1- the Professor comes up with a machine to turn robots into humans. Bender tries it out and begins to become corpulent in his lifestyle, eating and drinking non-stop. Ok, but the ending had me a bit sickened. I give it a C

Part 2- Fry's wondering if life were a video game had some great pop culture jokes, from the 'Milatari HQ' building, to the simple pixellation and return of Lurr (only now from the planet Nintendoo 64). I give it a B+

Part 3- Leela's wish for a place where she belongs sends her in a dream to the land of Oz, where kills the 'Manwich of the North,' and finally gets the upperhand on Amy's insults. I give it a B-

The first one was so-so, but I loved the other two. The second one was just full of jokes and showed more about Fry's character. The third was like the Simpsons when they did the fairy tales (hansel and gretel, etc) or the classic stories (The Odyssey, Hamlet, etc.) because it puts the same characters in similar roles in a different setting. The characters correspond well to the ones in the Wizard of Oz (except Leela at the later part of the segment). They should have left Amy in for a few more jokes before rubbing her out, but it was still a fun episode.

Very funny. The first part was the best. I couldn't stop laughing when that music played and Bender partied around town.

The second part was funny, but there weren't a lot of good jokes and it seemed to want us to like it only because of the video game character cameos.

The third part was the worst but it had some good moments.

My main complaint about this episode is the bad endings. The first part ends with a party that goes on too long. The second ends with everyone talking about laundry and the third ends with that awful "I want to be a witch" thing.

Despite that, it was a good episode. A little better than AOI.

Best line:
Leela:'I don't get it, you drank and smoke before you were a human.'
Bender:'Yeah, but now it's bad for me!'

Second story: could have been funnier, some of the jokes realy didn't hit the mark. I mean, it was surreal enough to be awkward, not surreal enough to be funny.
Best line:
Pac Man:'Follow me. wah-cah-wah-cah-wah-cah-wah-cah.'

Third story: Definately the best of the lot.
Best lines:

I'm not usually a fan of these 3-parters, but this one happened to have so many brilliant jokes in it that I found myself liking it overall. Even before the first story started though, I had to laugh at the Professor:

"Oh blithery poop! There he goes again! Well, let's give baby what he wants!"

The first story of Bender becoming human was true brilliance. The way that he so naively abused his human body was beautiful (no, really), and provided one of the best bits of physical comedy EVER when he kissed a woman on the dance floor with a mouthful of hotdogs! And "Woooo!" was a great gag. One of my favourite ever bits of Futurama.

The second part was an interesting one, creative and somewhat nerdy. There were probably a lot of references and jokes in there that were lost on me due to my knowledge of video games not really predating Sonic The Hedgehog. Nixon getting hammered by Donkey Kong though: fantastic!

The third part was the weakest, largely down to the way it had been edited so that everything goes by at breakneck speed. I would've liked to have seen the characters of Fry the Scarecrow and Bender the Tin Man built up more than they were. Yet, the Professor did a great job in rectifying matters with some classic lines. "Who needs courage when you have a gun?" So true!

For featuring some of the best jokes in Futurama yet, this episode simply has to get a 5.

It got very funny when they met Colin Pac-man, when fry destroyed the space invaders ships, when the ambassador from Nintendu 64 came, and all that other stuff. Finally, The last skit was pretty bland and not too funny. Some parts were, but that was it. I didn't get anything else. I really liked the second skit which was what made this episode funny.

"I know that Monkey, his name is Donkey!" "Monkeys aren't Donkeys, quit messing with my head!" Fry and Farsworth; "It's okay, I had another guy." Fry; "Tremble in fear at our THREE different kinds of ships!" Lrrr. "Increase speed, drop down and reverse direction!" "Instead of shooting where I was, you should shot at where I was going to be!"

Ok, let me review these one by one. Ok, the first skit of this. Bender wonders what would happen if he were human. Interesting. His little 'antenna'. A bit gross, but funny. Interesting that the last line spoken in this skit is the same as the other one in the 1st anthology of interest! I guess it was ok, maybe a 4. Now, the second. This is where it all shines. Everything is hilarious! I'm mostly a gamer and this was as funny as heck! Dang, it was pretty good. Very good for gamers who like this show. it gets a solid 5! Now, my least favorite one. This was a little boring. Now, I didn't like this one very well because I just fell asleep in front of it. a little funny. I'd give it a 2. Now, this little thing shall get a 4.

Yo, Wat Up! Bfan12 is back in buisiness, kickin' butt and takin' names. There was some confusion over my review of Godfellas when Jason Smith came up for my user name, but no, it was me.
It feels good to be back on this site after taking a couple weeks from reviewing to catch up on my box set watching. I own volumes 1, 2 and 3 and i still haven't gotten around to finishing 1 and 3.
All right, I'll stop with all this crap now and get on to the review.

After this song: .......... ... .......... it'll feel so empty without me.
La La LA la la, la la la la la, la la la la la, la la la laa.

i shall review this episode by each part.

if you get the season 3 dvd boxset, and you watch the animatic to this episode, they leave out funny bits, like in the pac man bit one fry's what if, a monster chases bender and he shouts
"quit biting my shining metal ass",
hilarious.

anyway:
Bender: this was funny, i thought the bit where he kisses the professor on the lips was great
"ah, it didn't feel so good"
prof: "speak for yourself"

rating: 5

Fry: the animatic for this episode was great, but the proper part was brill. planet Atari 2600 was eventually replaced by nintendu 64. anyway, this had the best jokes.

rating: 5+

Leela:
i don't know why this bit gets slagged off, i liked it. the final part of this episode with the proffesor was great. one of zoidbergs best performances.

"i'm the other guy, courage, don't have enough of it, need to see whats-his-face"

hilarious,

"what do i, smeel or something" (sniffs himself), "oh"

the second best line in the episode.

"and why did i have to take a cab?"

funny every time i watch it.

"who needs courage, when you have: a GUN?"

had me in hysterics. the best line in the episode and agurably the best in the entire show.

"i think theres a problem with your upstairs toilet"

brilliant.

Rating: 5 by miles.

Overall:

one of futuramas best episodes, along with:

Insane in the mainframe
and
Bender gets made.

if you haven't seen it, you don't know what you are missing.

A confident 5.

Excellent episode, all the way down to the little details like D.U.I. Friday's. Fry's "I had another guy" reference was perfectly executed. People have been disliking Wizzin' more than the other two, but I don't agree with that. It's wonderful. "Who needs courage when you have a gun" and Zoidberg's "I'm the other one. Courage, not enough. Need some from What's-his-face" lines were brilliant. The thing that got me though, was right after Tin Man Bender burped, Fry caught on fire a little bit. That fit perfectly like when in the real Wizard of Oz, the Wicked Witch burned the scarecrow at that time. Those little details in the episode I love.

This was a great episode! My favorite was leela's cause it's the wizard of Oz kind. I just laughed thorough the whole thing.

Bender's part was great till the part when he became fatter than a sumo wrestler. I was just grossed out.I think AOI1 for his part is better cause It was funnier alot funnier while this one it's just gross.

Fry's was hilarious!! Great how they had Zoedburg accidently eat Fry and Leela says, "He ate Fry!!!" and then Fry appears and says "its okay i had another guy."
It sounds almost like on South Park when Kenny gets killed and they say"O My God!!! They Killed Kenny!!!" Now that's funny. This one is alot better than the AOI1 cause the first one was just boredom.

But my favorite is Leela's part when they have it like the Wizard of Oz. They did an exelent job.
My favorite part was when leela turns into a witch and turns the proffeser,fry, and bender into frogs. Bender look cool as a frog.
Both of the AOI1 and 2 were okay cause they both had laughs.

And the Video Game one was brilliant stuff, as everyone else said.

I thought the third story was so-so, but it had it's moments. I adored Zoidberg ("I'm the other guy." Or "Why did I have to take a cab?!")

Even though that this Anthlogy of Interest set is good as a whole, it doesn't really top the first one in terms of storyline.

I hate to say this, but the first story about Bender becoming a human was horrible. The humor shown into this section wasn't Futurama-like, it was just puerile and childish. Save from a couple of parts (such as the professor bragging that he'll win the Nobel prize before Amy), this wasn't quite a strong showing. This episode seemed to have been written in the state of mind that fart jokes are good enough to make a episode on it's own, which isn't the case.

The second part about the video games definitely was a killer episode, though. This was one of my first exposures to Futurama and despite my total lack of knowledge about the show back then, I loved this part anyway. I love all the subtle and discreet references to video games: Asteroids, Donkey Kong, Missile Command, Pac-Man, Space Invaders, Q-Bert and others... Great nostalgic value in this one indeed, ahhhh. It contained many funny moments as well, such as Zoidberg becoming Pac-Man for a while, thus eating everything/everyone and for some reason, the part where Fry has been defeated at Space Invaders and where he just write his high score initials whilst chuckling. That's most likely the high point of this Anthology of Interest episode.

The third part also offered quite an interesting showing, although I didn't liked it at first. However, one has to say that it's a great Wizard of Oz parody filled with the usual Futurama fun twists. Poor Fry who's being told by everyone that he needs a brain, heheheh. Other noteworthy moments in that part included Leela using the Planet Express ship's stairway to crush the Amy fairy, the gang stupidly jumping joyfully on the yellow brick road and them complaining that it's tiring and the gang being kidnapped, yet Zoidberg takes a cab to catch with everyone. The ending was funny, as well. It's quite rare that Leela manages to be that sneaky, so it's a plus. :)

If the first episode wasn't included in that AOI showcase, this would have been easily a excellent episode, but the first part just ruins the perfection that this episode could have had. It's still a pretty good episode, nonetheless.

Raiders Of The Lost Arcade earns a 5. Filled with video game references...me like, me like.

Finally, Wizzin' earns a 5. It's funny, it's quotable ("We resemble but are legally distinct from the Lollipop Guild, the Lollipop--"), and it's one of Leela's dream sequences, which are always fun.

Overall, I'd rate this episode as a 4 (it lost points for I, Meatbag).

Anthology of Interest 2 was alot better than Anthology of Interest 1

Anyways what made Anthology of Interest 2 so good was to see how it was like when Bender was human.

Bender is a party animal that most of the time eats nachos and dances at partys.

Bender says, Party alot.

It was awesome how Bender turned out at the Science Convention where Bender was very fat and very big and everytime people would touch him he would say party when he actually is dead.

I give this show an A+

Amy is superior, Amy is INDESTRUCTABLE, mwhahahah! I can't stand Leela and Fry. As for Amy kissing Bender as a human, freaking sweet. In Leela's "What if" question, Amy as the "Cute witch of the north" Hahaha you crack me up. I've had it when Leela is always throwing Amy off. To me, that is an insult.

After watching AOI1 so many times, it was hard to believe this was it's sequel. In the first AOI episode, there was at least 3 minutes of material in Planet Express between the use of the What If? machine. In this there was 10 seconds at the start of the Professor hitting it with a hammer and away we go into the three tales...and only about 20 seconds at the end AFTER the tales. I personally enjoyed the third story. The first and second were meh-ish compared to the first episode.

Great episode. Lots of good gags and punchlines. I love the videogame world, and the wizard of oz takeoff. Bender was pretty funny as a human. But I was a little dissapointed with the first tale of interest.



In the pac-man tube.

Leela: "you ate fry!!! Fry is dead!!!!"

Fry walks up.

"It's okay, I had another guy"

I loved the scene with Bender drinking/eating/smoking/dancing, and for all those who wanted to know the song in the backroud is called Congo by The Miami sound Machine. The videogame refrences in Raiders of the Lost Arcade were amazing. The only one that sucked was the Wizard of Oz was. Ahwell 2/3 isn't to bad

This episode is great, Bender being a human is the best what if possible and the "what if like was like a video game" part was awesome. My favorite part is when fry gets eaten and then he says he had another guy. Oh, if life really were like a video game...

excellent episode, some classic moments, although i must admit, the masturbation reference (when bender was talking about his antenna)was a bit sick, but who am i to complain when i do it 6 times a day, oh i shouldn't of said that.
second story was great, my best bit was when leels stated 'invaders, possibly from space!'
i also liked the third story, especially the part with hermes. i also laughed out loud at the following quotes.

MOM: you wanna get adopted ya little skank!

AMY: nice boots, do they come in womens sizes?
(leela crushes her with the ship)

DR. ZOIDBERG: sorry, i think there's something wrong with your upstairs toilet!

FARNSWORTH: who needs courage when you have... a gun!

MCSLURMS: we are the creatures from lollipop lane, lollipop lane!
(nibbler eats him and the music slows down)

FRY: nevermind professor, she came to!
(farnsworth walks in with a box saying 'leela's organs)
FARNSWORTH: oh, so close!
HERMES: there's always next year professor, there's always next year!

Iwas born with a metalic tast in my mouth.So you see Bender and I are very close DNA wise.We both servive on Beer. I like beer I like it alot. most of my coloric intake is beer.Not that iam an alcoholic or something because we don't go to meetings. Why who told you.Man if I ever find that guy.Any way ya see I have a metal plate in my ass makes it very dificult to sit for lang perionds of time. So when Bender says to bit his shinning metal Ass I feel the same way.

Bender's Segment: 2/5
Gets too repetitive after a while

Fry's Segment: 5/5
Excellent - contains very good video game references and is funny as hell

Leela's Segment: 4/5
Funny 'Wizard of Oz' parody, but too reliant on Zoidberg jokes

In my opinion, it's even funnier than the first one, and that episode is among Futurama's funniest. This may be down to my love of video games making me somewhat biased, but either way, this is a great full-on comedy episode.

An add-on to my last review:

This was a really good episode. Once again, the Bender segment was a bit weak, but the other two were hilarious. Raiders of the Lost Ark was perhaps David X. Cohen's funniest episode ever. Wizzin' was even funnier, making it the best Anthology bit so far. Overall, great. I've got zero complaints.
