Once again 1st is better.... but still okay., 15 December 2006
9/10
Author: Hoyboy7 from Australia

*** This review may contain spoilers ***

The 'Anthology of Interest' format is a fantastic idea, and, while this isn't quite as good good as the first one, it really shows the strength of the 'what if?' idea. Shame there'll never be an AOI3. Anyway, the most successful plot this time round was probably Fry's video game world, absolutely hilarious. Loved Mr. and Mrs. Pacman and Lrrr's space invader attack. Bender's was pretty good, I thought they captured his essence as a human perfectly. The 'wooh' noises made by his corpse were hilarious. Leela's wizard of Oz story was a little weaker, but her deciding to become a witch was clever. Nice use of all the characters as well, with Zoidberg and Amy both featuring heavily and being very funny as usual. My favorite scenes were the ones in 'real life', with the Professor increasingly mad ways of getting the machine to start, and his pointless choosing machine changing its mind from Amy to Leela. Fantastic lines from the narrator ("You watched it! You can't un-watch it!"). Some great continuity between the two AOI eps as well (Farnsworth calling a dead Bender 'sweet prince', Leela killing Amy).
