The funniest episodes of Futurama are the ones which stretch their outlandish premises to the breaking point, and season four's relentless comedy of errors The Farnsworth Parabox exemplifies that better than any other episode in the show.

In it, The Professor finds a way to venture into into other universes, and though he forbids the crew from entering his contraption, which is just a nondescript box, they inevitably find themselves clashing with numerous alternate realities.

Allowing the crew to come face-to-face with alternate versions of themselves leads to some brilliant moments of fan service and genuinely laugh-out-loud interactions - especially from the two conniving Zoidbergs - the episode is an ensemble piece that uses all its characters beautifully, digging into what makes each of them so unique with memorable results.
