Fry: Huh. I wonder where the Professor is.
Leela: Yeah. he said he had some big announcement.
Fry: Oo! Maybe he's finally getting that hair transplant!
Bender: He said big, not stupid, stupid.
Fry: They're not mutually exclusive!
Professor Farnsworth enters
Prof: What's not mentally expensive?
Leela: Never you mind. What's the good news?
Prof: Good news? Oh yes! Good news, everyone! Some formerly talented video games company is making a bunch of games about us!
ALL: Yay!
Zoidberg leans in through a window that shouldn't be there and will in fact not be next time the camera pans past the wall
Zoidberg: Hurray! Finally Zoidberg's dream of a fish eating minigame has come true!
Fry: So what type of game is it, Professor? Another platformer?
Leela: I hope not. The last one wasn't very good.
Bender: Speak for yourself. I was very happy with the senseless mutilation and destruction of innocent creatures, heh heh.
Fry: Yeah! And I got to shoot stuff! Shooting stuff is fun and useful!
Farnsworth: Oh my, no. None of that, I'm afraid.
BENDER & FRY: Aww...
Farnsworth: No, this one's going to be a heap of adventure games!
Fry: Wait, does those make me use my brain thingy?
Bender: And I don't get to jump around and smash things?
Farnsworth: No, you have to use things with other things to make all new things! Oh, it's like a dream come true!
Fry: Aw, that's no fun at all! I wanna see stuff go kablouey!
Leela: Maybe you'll get to combine items to make a 'kablouey', whatever that is.
Fry: Aww, you always know just what to see.
Bender: Oo, oo, maybe you can combine me with a girder and I can bend it! I'm good at that!
Farnsworth: Oh now, let's not get too excited. These things have to be easy to solve so more people will buy them.
Fry: Cool! Easy stuff is more fun!
Farnsworth: Yes, it'll probably be full of puzzles like picking up that universal doohickey on the table there.
The game instructs you to pick up the 'Universal Doohickey' from the table.
Fry: Like that?
Farnsworth: Yes, I suspect that's probably as complicated as things will get.
Fry: I'm not sure I like things being THAT easy. What would I use it on?
Fatnsworth: Oh, I don't have time for your shenanigans. Try using it on someone else.
The game instructs you to use it on Zoidberg, who's now inside the room. The window has completely vanished. using the item on Zoidberg makes Fry walk up to him, hold the doohickey in his hand for a second while he ponders it, then throw it at Zoidberg's head.
Zoidberg: Ow! What was that for?
Fry: I dunno, the game made me do it.
Zoidberg: I don't like this game any more. I'm going to go and practice for my fish eating minigame.
Zoidberg makes to leave from the window, but of course it's not there. He shrugs and walks out the door instead.
Fry: Wow. Adventure games are fun.
