10 Worst Futurama Episodes
10. In-A-Gada-Da-Leela
Sometimes, Futurama can just get a little too weird, and that's part of what made this episode feel wrong. It was a brave decision to try and subvert one of the core comedic relationships of the series (Zapp Brannigan and Leela), but in the end, it was more of the same, with some uncomfortable notions tossed in.
The episode showed as a death sphere called V-GINY set a course to Earth to destroy it through excessive censoring. On a mission to stop it, Leela and Zapp Brannigan end up crashing on a Garden of Eden-like planet, where Leela gets trapped under a fallen tree, and Zapp tries to seduce her.
However, it's soon revealed that he faked the whole thing, and they are still on Earth. Still, it's not too much of a shock as we're used to this kind of thing from Zapp, albeit less elaborate.
It got worse from there, however, as V-GINY made it to the planet and demanded that Leela and Zapp consummate their Adam and Eve like marriage, which they do, in front of the whole crew, much to Fry's distaste. It's a pretty uncomfortable ending that ruined the progress in Leela and Fry's romance.
