In the episode "Time Keeps On Slippin'" of the hit show Futurama, the Professor's attempt to create a team of mutants to play the Harlem Globetrotters takes a disastrous turn. A disruption in time threatens the very existence of the universe, while Fry finds himself trying to win over Leela's heart, despite her lack of interest. This episode is filled with comedy, from the absurdity of a Space Jam-esque basketball challenge to Bender's hilarious desire to become a Globetrotter. But it also delves into deeper themes of love and sacrifice, making it a truly memorable and emotional installment.

One of the highlights of this episode is the addition of the intergalactic Harlem Globetrotters. It's a genius move that allows for plenty of comedy, from the over-the-top basketball challenge to the silly expressions of Bubblegum Tate. Bender's quest to become a Globetrotter is particularly endearing, as we usually see him as a character who doesn't care about anything. His pathetic attempts, like his homemade outfit and agreement to hold a bake sale for the wives of the Globetrotters, add to the humor.

But it's not all laughs in "Time Keeps On Slippin'." The time skips add a layer of mystery and drama to the episode. The show uses them to great effect, delivering both hilarious moments, like Zoidberg's lonely birthday party, and more serious situations, like the threat to the entire universe. And amidst all the chaos, Fry's advances towards Leela become a focal point. While his pestering may feel uncomfortable at times, his genuine intentions and the chemistry between the characters make it easier to root for him. The episode takes us on a rollercoaster of emotions, culminating in a bittersweet ending that highlights Fry's growth and maturity.

Overall, "Time Keeps On Slippin'" is a perfect blend of comedy and emotion. It showcases the show's ability to balance wild sci-fi premises with heartfelt moments. From the hilarious basketball antics to Fry's broken heart and eventual growth, this episode will make you laugh, cry, and appreciate the depth that Futurama brings to the table.

This classic episode of Futurama follows Fry, Zapp, Kif, Amy, and Leela on a double date to an orbiting restaurant. Unfortunately, the restaurant crashes on the planet Amazonia, inhabited by hulking women. The Femputer, the omniscient ruler of the planet, sentences the three men to death by "snu-snu."

The episode is commended for its creativity, playing with gender stereotypes and tropes from *Star Trek*. It also serves as a commentary on the double standards between men and women. Kif is the only one who is saved and rewarded for his decency, while Fry and Zapp are punished for their oafishness. Furthermore, the episode is filled with hilarious lines and quotes, such as the Femputer sentencing the men to death for laughing, or Bender's quip about being a femputer in a manbot manputer's world. In addition, the C-plot with Zoidberg choosing a new shell provides some gross out humor.
