: They threw in a completely gratuitous Ghostbusters sequence. The only explanation can be that they did this as a direct shout-out to Brian Lynch. They like him.
But not altogether unrelated to the episode. In the Hamlet segment, there was a reference to Ghostbusters (the ghost Homer leaves a slime trail whenever he travels through walls). By the way, the last five minutes of the show were genius. Lenny and Carl and Ralphie made me laugh out loud. The rest of the show, eh.
But man, tonight's episode of FUTURAMA was genius straight through. A race of tiny aliens choose Bender as their new home, and he becomes their God. Amazing.
