I'm going to keep this spoiler free, because that is what Hypnotoad would want. This episode is on the DVD movie release of Futurama, and I must say it could be sold alone with all the goings on.

This episode starts off with Hypnotoad at home, minding his business. But like I said I'm keeping this spoiler free.

The acting is top notch, and higher than you'd expect in a cartoon. I wonder why no Golden Globe went to Hypnotoad.

I wonder why I felt compelled to buy the whole season after this. Just picture Cheers mixed with Seinfeld and add a bit of Three's Company and you have Hypnotoad!

After seeing this, there's is no real reason to ever watch anything else! Ever! This show has it all, and leaves you feeling refreshed! The BEST show I have ever seen, hands down. All the drama, action, story, and horror you could ever want in a show. This may only be 22 minutes long, but you can easily re watch it as many times as you want and its good, every time. After watching this, I went straight to the store and bought season one. Every episode is as full of win as this one. The best acting I have ever seen on television. I don't want to spoil anything, but when you get done watching this is will have been so good you will forget everything you just saw! All glory to the Hypnotoad!

I've always been a fan of Futurama, and every time the Hynotoad show was on, i was instantly hooked!!!

So you can guess I've been waiting for this for a LONG TIME!!! and it certainly doesn't disappoint! it has everything!!!!, truly 100% recommended.

I wont talk much about the story in the only released episode, but the speed dating scene was HILARIOUS! i didn't saw that coming, and neither will you!!

AND its the only show i watch that makes me feel refreshed and with a clear mind after i watch it, so thats another +plus!. -----

Cleveland is getting a sideshow off Family Guy, Joey got his out of Friends... Why hasn't Hymnotoad gotten wider release just baffles me, best show EVER, it has everything, and even surpasses Futurama in wit and social commentary.

If you can only choose to remake a series, and you have to choose between Arrested Development, Firefly or Futurama... choose to make a new Hypnotoad Show instead.

Long Live Hypnotoad.

While the Bender feature to which this episode was attached wasn't the strongest out of the Futurama stable, I think we can all agree that there needs to be more exploration of the home life and comedic foibles of the Hypnotoad. I don't always respond well to this degree of physical comedy, but of course, there are always exceptions that can send me rolling across the floor.

Not to spoil anything, but around the 15 minute mark is when I started to wonder if maybe that plot element they oh-so-subtly dropped in the first act was going to be a red herring after all, but then (thanks to the uncredited handiwork of Paul Feig) I was pleased with the ultimate result.

I'm not sure that Everybody Loves Hypnotoad really was true to th-ALL GLORY TO THE HYPNOTOAD!

So for those familiar with Futurama (1999) you may remember Everybody Loves Hypnotoad as a show you'd often see in the background or referenced on a number of occasions

It's basically the Hypnotoad staring at the screen with it's googly eyes and that annoying noise on a loop. Fun huh!

So some braniac decided hey let's make an actual full length (20 minute) episode of Hypnotoad! Who doesn't want to see and hear that?!

Really, why? Why is this a thing? I get it, I understand the joke but would 2 minutes not have sufficed?

The Good:

Nope

The Bad:

Everything

Things I Learnt From This Short:

Some people have too much time on their hands

Not everybody loves Hypnotoad!

All hail the hypnotoad. All hail the hypnotoad. All hail the hypnotoad...

What needs to be said about Hypnotoad? Brilliantly unintelligent. Myopically insightful. Believably inconceivable .

I could go on forever, but my mind's a blank... except for this: of the 3 necessities for life (water, food, reproduction), watching Hypnotoad is Number One. 10 (the highest rating) + One = 11

11 out of 10.
