[edit] comparison with other parody

Which do you all think is better, this one or the Family Guy parody? --WhiteDragon 14:30, 7 September 2006 (UTC)

  • This episode also parodies the movie Aliens. The Slurm Queen is not unlike the Alien Queen, especially in the way she excretes Slurm the way the Alien Queen excreted eggs. Also the fact that Leela nearly becomes a Slurm Queen is similar to the fact that Ripley hosts an Alien Queen in Alien: Resurrection. Harley, 13 September 2006.

Aren't they really slugs instead of worms? I wonder why they called them that. --Scaryice 11:59, 8 October 2006 (UTC)

The Family guy one it not another parody. It is a copy which is plagiarism.

[edit] Question about Fry's Potentcy

Just a quick clarification: The episode "Fry and the Slurm Factory" implies that the F-ray sterilized Fry. But later in "Roswell That Ends Well" Fry father's his father. Did he get his Fry's Potentcy back somehow? Or is it imposible that he is his own grandpa? 68.48.174.136 15:04, 30 November 2006 (UTC)

It would seem to indicate that all his sperm were killed but his ability to create them was not damaged. Stardust8212 16:05, 30 November 2006 (UTC)
Keep in mind that, generally speaking, you wouldn't feel your sperm dying (unless they were exploding, in which case the rest of you most likely would to). Try not to read too much into jokes. ;-) EVula // talk // // 16:11, 30 November 2006 (UTC)
