Safety Last
26 July 2008 | by (Konstanz, Germany) – See all my reviews

Oh wow. I'm just beginning to acquire my taste for Futurama, but this episode really made me cry with joy.

Like in others, it is chock full with gags and surprising good ideas. But what really blew me was the scene when Fry chases the parrot up on a skyscraper, and falls from the rim just to hold on to the digital clock. Such a witty reference to Harold Lloyd's "Safety Last" (1923), where the clock scene I thought was iconic in film culture - I was surprised it's not listed under Movie References here.

Much more, of course - another I liked was the mistletoe / TOW missile confrontation... I'm gonna re-watch this around Dec 24 :^)
