| FUTURAMA CUTS SEASON 3 2: WAR IS THE H-WORD C4 PREMIERE 25.09.02, 18:30 THE ONE WHERE To qualify for 5% military discount, Bender and Fry join the army with the plan of quitting as soon as they buy ham-flavoured gum. But, seconds later, war is declared and they end up fighting an army of balls on a planet with little value. And Leela isn’t there to save them from certain death this time. Or is she? (da da dunn) ---------------------- DEFINITE CUTS ---------------------- Opening scene, in the shop: SHOP ASSISTANT Alright sergeant, $100-worth of pixie sticks and porno mags, with your 5% military discount, comes to $95. ---------------------- Later, when Brannigan is telling us Bender’s word to set off the voice-activated bomb: BRANNIGAN No. 7: “Up”. No. 6: INSTEAD OF “Pimpmobile” APPEARING ON THE SCREEN AT NO. 6, WE HEAR “Of course” AND SEE A STILL PICTURE OF KIFF AND FRY, WHO ARE LISTENING TO THIS. ---------------------- BENDER Enough of this crap! I’m catching the next pimpmobile out of here! ---------------------- Not too bad, to be honest. We were allowed to hear all the ‘ass’ references, ‘crap’, and numerous risqu’e ‘balls’ jokes, and they also kept in Zapp’s attraction to Lee Lemon and Zapp’s butt (although they were allowed last season too). BUT - I bet they get complaints for this, and have to go back to the insane censorship of 2001 (I'm the eternal optimist, I am). |
