04.00 Futurama
Futurama. Season 2, Episode 15. "The Problem with Popplers" The newest snack craze on Planet Earth turns out to be the young of an aggressive alien race. (Don't you hate when that happens?)
One of the best and funniest episodes. It makes you laugh (a lot) but, in common with all the best Futurama episodes, it also has something to say. Not just about what we eat (the final scene is terrific) but about things like fast food chains and television sponsorship. Not bad.
Plus, it's got a rather high death toll. Millions of popplers, an ape, and a hippy. Not bad.
All the best lines got to Zapp Brannigan, of course.
