Over the years of Futurama, a lot of our characters have evolved, but Zapp hasn’t evolved at all. Katz: “Amazon Women in the Mood” is one of the best Zapp episodes because he sort of gets a taste of his own medicine, yet still learns nothing in the process, which is perfect for his character. West: My favorite line in this episode is, after Zapp’s had snu snu with a bunch of the Amazon women, he says, “The spirit is willing, but the flesh is spongy and bruised.” We had fun designing tons and tons of these women. Crumb and his women, so we used that and put it in Matt Groening’s style. Him being in love with Amy, but afraid to say it, is something funny for Zapp to stomp all over. We’d first paired up Kif and Amy in the Titanic episode, and I think part of the motivation behind that relationship is that Kif is so funny getting his hopes and dreams crushed by Zapp Brannigan, that you have to give him some hopes and dreams in the first place. I know we wanted to do a story with the Kif and Amy romance - Kif calling her and being too afraid to talk and hanging up was an early idea for it. Lewis Morton, writer of “Amazon Women in the Mood”: I don’t know whose original idea it was for “Amazon Women in the Mood.” It’s possible I pitched it, but I don’t remember. Below its writer, director and Billy West, the man who supplies the voice for dozens of characters on the show (including Fry and Zapp), recall how snu snu almost became the death of all of them.
With dozens of funny moments in both the script and the animation, a focus on fan-favorite Zapp Brannigan and the evolution of the Kif and Amy love story, “Amazon Women in the Mood” is considered one of the greatest episodes of Futurama ever. While Zapp and Fry welcome death in this manner, they, along with Kif, are eventually spared thanks to Bender, who seduces the Femputer (voiced by the great Bea Arthur). With “snu snu” as the stand-in for “chi chi,” the ruler of Amazonia - a giant computer named “Femputer” - sentences them to “death by snu snu” where the Amazonian women will make snu snu with them until their pelvises are crushed and they die. Since he’s a robot, Bender manages to be spared punishment, but Fry, Zapp and Kif find themselves in much the same position as the aforementioned soldiers. That’s just one telling of a very old joke with hundreds of different variations - the best of which is an episode of Futurama called “Amazon Women in the Mood.” In it, Fry, Leela, Bender and Amy, along with Zapp Brannigan and Kif, become stranded on a planet filled with giant, beautiful Amazon women where men are forbidden. The chief then turns to the second soldier and asks “Death or chi chi?” He chooses death. They’re brought back to the tribe’s village, where its chief gives them an ultimatum: “You must choose - death or chi chi!” Neither knows what “chi chi” is, but they reason that it’s got to be better than death, so the first soldier says, “I choose chi chi!”įrom there, the soldier is forced to have sex for hours, but at the end, he is set free.
Suddenly, they’re attacked by a tribe of natives.
