Featured review
Possibly Most Underrated Episode?
I don't tend to write reviews, much less for individual episodes of TV shows, but this episode was great and its rating is way too low. A lot of people's favorite Futurama episodes are those with a sentimental story which ties it all together, and I get it, those are my favorite too. "Yo Leela Leela" isn't that, there's not much sentimentality here at all. It also lacks the complexity which make some episodes very memorable, but what it lacks in sentimentality and complexity it makes up for in its humor. This is probably one of the funniest Futurama episodes in the whole series, it's almost joke after joke after joke. Some don't land, but most do. Also, as someone who works in the entertainment industry, its satirical take on kids' programing is both scarily accurate and hilarious.
The "big reveal" is very predictable, but it doesn't take away from the story, and the ending is both funny and unexpected.
