I love episodes like this when they're done sparingly. The fun of these jokes comes from the viewers' familiarity with the existing characters and their appearances and voices. The satire of real science and biology skewed in such absurd ways is just hilarious.
The first segment is about salmon, focusing on the spawning and survival of salmon throughout their lives. The second is about Galapagos tortoises and their near extinction, as well as the evolution of finches. And the third is about elephant seals and their social hierarchy. The jokes in all three mainly rely on knowledge of existing scientific knowledge and how Futurama's characters might fit into those situations. For example, Bender and his self-centered nature fits with the elephant seal Beachmaster, and Professor Farnsworth in his old age acting as an ancient tortoise.
I laughed till I cried at how absurd this episode was and the jokes that caught me off guard. Clearly, the voice actors, animators, and writers were having a great time, and I enjoyed it along with them. Enjoying this episode requires an appreciation of scientific facts and a humorous perception of them.

There was absolutely nothing redeeming about this movie. The main character is at first an awkward outcast, and then out of nowhere she's a cringey confident girl who has no respect for life. At first the subversion of plot structure tropes made me curious as to how the ending would go, but I didn't even make it that far. After an hour and a bit of unlikeable characters, awkward sex jokes, terrible acting, and long boring scenes seeming to exist just to fill up time, I walked out to spare myself from wasting any more of my evening.
I come to movies to laugh, cry, cheer, or at the very least smile, and this movie had nothing good in it to incite any emotion at all. I'm not even sure what the movie writer's goal was with this film. And I'm super surprised it has higher than a 3 here on IMDb. Even the special effects were the caliber of a Saturday Night Live sketch. Don't waste your time on it.
