This is one of those Futurama episodes where the situation is funny even when there aren't a lot of jokes that elicit guffaws of laughter. For example, the episode later on where the professor creates a time machine that only goes to the future. Funny situation but there are also laughs. With this one, I kept waiting for the jokes.
But I did like this episode a lot since it represents character evolution for Fry. When he started out, it seemed like Fry was more of a cliche than a character - the dimwitted young male - but as it's progressed, Futurama has developed him into one of the best characters in animated series.
