I removed an item under "Trivia" but accidentally pressed Enter before I finished my edit comment. If it is a legitimate item, please accept my apologies and replace it. I don't see the connection between the name "Femputer" and the Wizard of Oz. - DynSkeet ( Talk) 16:56, 28 August 2006 (UTC)
Death by snu-snu! It was funny how their faces smiled then frowned then smiled then frowned. -- Yancyfry jr 03:10, 14 September 2006 (UTC)
There are several of sci-fi references here. Several Star Trek episodes feature a world or society run by computers, including The Apple, which is about a primitive society with rigorously enforced chastity (mainly via ignorance as well as taboo) run by a computer which is treated much like a god or a supreme leader (which resides in a highly stylized carved cave with special effects). There are other examples of course, this being a common theme. For instance there is the Twilight Zone episode The Old Man in the Cave. There's more Zardoz than Oz, here, but of course that is not too far off. I kind of think the Star Trek episode I mentioned is the closest match. Rifter0x0000 ( talk) 14:37, 8 August 2010 (UTC)
Can someone please translate what they say. I know Amy Wong says it's cursing and I know it ends in something like "Ban So Ne" or something.
The last 3 words is quite clear, "打死你", meaning "beating you to death". For as long as I've watched and rewatched the episode, I cannot make out what the other words are. The pronunciation does not indicate any real expletives being actually used. 24.84.112.175 09:28, 23 January 2007 (UTC)
Hey, I've refreshed twice, and the (edit) button next to "Trivia" is floating in the middle of the text. Is it just me?
According to the Futurama Madhouse transcript [1], it's spelled "snu-snu", not "snoo-snoo". So please leave it be. -- AAA! ( talk • contribs) 00:34, 7 November 2006 (UTC)
What does that snu-snu reference mean anyway? 87.247.13.244 ( talk) 13:45, 17 July 2010 (UTC)
There is a dirty (and pretty politically incorrect) joke, which is told by Shane in an episode "Jailbait" of The Shield, which is probably being referenced here. Incidentally, Lieutenant Kavanaugh corrects the pronunciation of the joke's central phrase (He says it is Ki-Ki, not Chi-Chi). The show is therefore not the original origin of the joke, but this is how it goes as told in the episode (slightly paraphrased):
Three explorers in the Congo are captured by natives. The natives tie them up and gag them.
The chief walks up to them and says, "You have two choices. You can choose death, or Chi-Chi."
The first explorer doesn't want to die, so he says, "I'll take Chi-Chi."
Twelve men grab him, rape him, sodomize him for hours, cut off his dick and his balls, shove them into his mouth, and send him into the woods bleeding from every hole.
The chief walks up to the second explorer and he says, "You have two choices. You can choose death, or Chi-Chi."
The second explorer debates his choices but he doesn't want to die, so he says, "I'll take Chi-Chi."
Eighteen tribesmen grab him, rape him, sodomize him for hours, cut off his dick and his balls, shove them into his mouth, and send him into the woods bleeding from every hole.
The chief goes up to the third explorer and he says, "You have two choices. You must choose death, or Chi-Chi."
The third explorer, a big macho guy, with a moustache, looks up at the chief and says, "I'll choose death."
The chief turns to his entire tribe of one hundred natives and says, "Very well then. Death ... by Chi-Chi!"

Was Kif forced into Snu-Snu? Because it would be noteable (and freaky) if so. Fry and Brannigan, they wanted the sex, but Kif ... yikes. Lots42 ( talk) 05:37, 23 July 2010 (UTC)
Brannigan's disturbing rendition of the song "Lola" is a parody of William Shatner, who the character also roughly parodies in part. I just noticed though that there is a link to this in the article, so I guess that is reference enough. Rifter0x0000 ( talk) 14:03, 8 August 2010 (UTC)
This should be mentioned in the article. (Brannigan is supposed to represent Kirk as Shatner.) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.124.116.101 ( talk) 15:02, 5 November 2019 (UTC)
When bender said "I'm not a man, I'm a man bot" He is shown hitting his crotch plate.... yet both his hands were chain. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.129.39.3 ( talk) 22:41, 3 May 2011 (UTC)
I added Sexual dimorphism as a link in the page under the word giant and refearanced in the theme section. The skeletons of the males who they previously killed are normal size and the amazons are twice the size for a hypothetical if women where the taller (much taller) sex of the human species. If anyone wants to dispute this statement then go ahead. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 124.148.247.133 ( talk) 11:05, 30 January 2012 (UTC)
I'm starting to see a new wave of criticism of this episode, specifically videos pointing out how pronounced the consent issues are, usually by imagining a gender swap. I think we should start looking for sources to add this to the critical reception section. Darkfrog24 ( talk) 03:34, 27 January 2023 (UTC)
Many years after its initial airing, this episode saw a new wave of criticism for its treatment of issues of sexual consent and gender stereotypes. Though Zapp and Fry are depicted as enthusiastic about their execution by snoo-snoo, neither explicitly consents to the act, and Fry on one occasion verbally declines ("Can't we just cuddle?"). Zapp verbally berates Kiff ("What are you, gay?") when he expresses dismay at their impending fate. Critic Firstname Lastname of Publication described this as "Quotey quote quote."
Hm, this article might also mention that the term "snoo snoo" entered the English slang lexicon because the episode was so popular. Maybe a "legacy" section would do.

@
Doniago: I beleive the episode plot summary should keep the line "At first, Zapp and Fry are both simultaneously delighted and horrified about death by snu-snu, while Kif is only horrified" for two reasons: 1) It shows that Zapp and Fry appear to consent to the snu-snu, at least partially and at least at first. Otherwise, the reader might think that the original writers intentionally portrayed what would have been understood as female-on-male rape, even at the time the episode aired. Part of the reason this episode remains notable today is because Western culture's understanding of male consent to sex has changed in the past twenty-one years. We do need to explain "Yes TV viewers in the year 2001 thought this show was funny, BUT that was because these fictional characters did not consider themselves victims, at least not entirely" to our readers now in 2023. 2) This line has actually been in the article for a long time as
"and horrifies"
[2] I only changed it a little.
