Ep. 11 - Stop Saying Swamp Planet! - Synopsis: The Crew head to Huckler 6, where the Professor has to meet them... but things go horribly wrong as they crash land on the surface of Huckler 6. The Professor is missing, Zoidberg is the leader of an army of Lobsters, and The Rest has discovered something "concrete" in the swamps...


In space, the Planet Express Ship flew across the Andromeda Galaxy in search of a certain planet to visit. Inside the ship were the usual crew members Fry, Leela, and Bender, but they brought along Zoidberg, and Prof. Farnsworth as well to there destination, a small planet known as Huckler 6. Awkward name, isn't it?

"So uh... why are we going to this planet again?" Fry asked, just sitting back and being bored.

"Me and Zoidberg are going to see my old friend back in the army days. He's a mayor of a town I believe." Farnsworth smiled.

"You know... You sure know a lot of people." Fry said, still just sitting back.

"Yes. I'm older than you complete stranger." Farnsworth answered.

"So uh... how did you know each other?" Bender smoked a cigar.

"I'm quite surprised Bender. You never want to know anyone's life throughout the days... You're up to something! Aren't you!"

"Nope... Just bored as usual..."

"Your a robot. How can you be bored?" Leela piloted the ship, wondering what Bender was up to.

Just wondering about it made Bender a bit angry, but he calmed down, ready to explain what he had to say.

"There's a lot of things you don't know about me. I do have human characteristics you know. For one thing, at the hospital, I just donated a heart to save the life of an elderly man who was about to go into the light." Bender said.

"Who's heart was it?" Fry sighed, knowing that Bender would obviously do it for the money.

"I don't know. I think it was Sherman."

"You attacked a human again?" Leela looked at him, angry that Bender did such a thing.

"Human? Hell no. Sherman was a goat. I donated a goat's heart to a man." Bender said.

"Ew... isn't a goat's heart infested with worms and other parasites?" Zoidberg asked.

"How would I know? The goat wasn't breathing when I came there." Bender responded.

Suddenly the computer came beeping for a warning as it shouted "DANGER! DANGER!"

"What's that?" Fry asked.

"Oh. That beeping noise is just my popcorn." Bender opened his compartment door revealing loads of popcorn, apparently he could also be a microwave. Than suddenly, Bender noticed the beeping noise still came and came. "Wait a minute... That's the alarm. Were under attack!"

"Oh my god!" Fry was shocked. "Where's the butter! I can't eat this popcorn with butter!"

"Dammit!" Bender angrily stomped his feet to the ground, wondering, "Why On Earth Didn't I brought Butter!"

"Guys! Are you really serious? There are missiles locked on to us... from... Huckler 6!" Leela shouted.

Fry and Bender looked through the window to see missiles coming straight at them from a nearby planet.

"Were near Huckler 6... but their firing at us!"

Suddenly the impact was made, the ship was now losing control and started to draw near Huckler 6's orbit.

"Oh no! Were losing control! Were being pulled into the planet's gravity!" A worried Leela shouted.

"We found the butter!" Fry held a bottle of butter.

"Hurrah!" Zoidberg said.

"Hurrah Indeed!" Prof. Farnsworth said.

Leela looked at them as if they didn't even know that they were in a situation... instead they drooled over popcorn.

Later, the ship went through the atmosphere, than into the lower skies of the planet, just as Leela, and her only, screamed for her life, as the four men chewing on buttery popcorn saw a swamp in front of their eyes. The Ship crashed into the swamp on impact, aftewards everyone started becoming unconscious...


Leela woke up, dizzy as she crawled out of the wrecked ship.

"God... what just hit us?" Leela said.

"That's what I want to know..." Fry crawled out of the wreckage.

"I'm alright If you wanted to know that!" Zoidberg said, just stepping out of the ship peacefully.

"Where's Bender and the Professor?" Leela asked.

"I'm right over here, chumps!" Bender angrily said. "I've been waiting for you to wake up all day but nooooo... you had to just sleep on it."

"Bender. You were awake the whole time? Have you seen the professor?" Leela asked.

"Professor? Nope. I think he already left while I was poking at a frog with a stick all day."

"Well. Let's just be sure not to get lost. Okay friends? Friends?" Zoidberg looked back, not seeing one of his crew-members behind him. He found himself alone again.


Fry, Leela, and Bender walked into a small town of the open country, already they were out of the swamp already as it wasn't that big. It was a nice town, filled with hard working people trying to complete their goals of the day. Do some honest work they were doing.

"Let me try to speak with these people. I happen to be an expert on this." Bender said.

Bender walked up to a man in hunting clothes as he said. "I... New Yorker... Do... You... Understand... Me?"

"I happen to be the human mayor of this town." Said the Hunter.

"The Mayor? Are you a friend of Farnsworth?" Leela stepped in.

"Me... Bender..." Bender continued on.

"Farnsworth? Yeah. We fought together in both science and combat. Now I'm just living a normal life... away from all the politics and wars of the world." He said.

"Well... I think Farnsworth got lost in the swamp planet and..."

"Swamp Planet? WHY DOES EVERYONE KEEP SAYING THAT!" The Mayor was suddenly angry just by those two words he heard to his own fuzzy ears. "Oh... So just because when a bunch of explorers land in the swamp, a tiny speck of this planet, they search the right side just to find a swamp over and over again! If they looked ten faces to the left! They would beautiful beaches, mountains, a glorious garden for pity sake! But nooooo! They had to keep exploring that tiny swamp and get attacked by crocodiles. Suddenly it's a dangerous planet and it gets the name known as the Swamp Planet! ERRRR... DAMN FOOLS!"

"Sorry... I didn't mean that... I mean... we did crash land in the swamp too..." Leela said.

"Sorry for my behavior... Crash land eh? You must've got hit by an orbital turret. They can hit as high to the orbit you know just to stop the enemy from landing here. I mean, you did notice the signs that said safe passage... right?" The Mayor asked.

"Um..."

"No matter, your still alive... Anyway, Farnsworth is lost? No worries. I'll have some guys check in to it."

"We Come In Peace... Swamp People." Bender again continued.

"Can you stop that... And don't call us Swamp People! Anyway, why don't you relax. If the guys don't have any luck, will search for him together. Right now. Why don't you go to a football game were having. The names Hucklebear by the way." Hucklebear said.

"That's nice of you. I wish I had a hotdog though." Fry said.

"Here you go!" A Man running a hotdog cart gave him a fresh boiled hotdog on a bun to Fry.

"Man, this place is great!" Fry took a bite out of the hotdog.

"It's not that great. It's merely just a copy of old fashion hard working American Towns that aren't controlled by those big-deal governments. It's a land of White Picket Fences... Apple Pie... Football... Not that great, just another normal community." He said. "Say... Farnsworth told me Zoidberg was coming. Where is the old rascal?"


Zoidberg was stuck in a watery cave, shaking in the cold.

"Why am I so alone and... Huh?" Zoidberg spotted a group of crustacean's, smaller, red, and were all lobsters.

The lobsters squeaked and snapped with their claws, almost as if they were communicating with Zoidberg.

"Yes.. I know.." Zoidberg responded.

The lobsters again squeaked and snapped with their claws.

"Hmm... your right my fellow friends. You do get cooked and fried a lot... Come now! I shall show you how us Crustaceans truly should be!"


At a nearby muddy lake with a few crocodiles, millions and millions of lobsters were together to hear Zoidberg's words across the red shellish population of lobsters.

"Hear me my fellow crustaceans! We have been treated like buttery boiled lobster no longer! Today! We are Natural Selection's Top Predator!" Zoidberg said. "Watch as I Zoidberg wrestles one of these crocodiles!"

Zoidberg jumped into the muddy waters, much to the lobsters fear, some even snapping and squeaking, "GASP!". He tackled the crocodile who automatically responded with a fight, trying to win victory until the Crocodile bit his leg and dragged him to the swamp. Bubbles rose and rose until it stopped... The lobsters backed away. Was it over... that was until suddenly a victorious Zoidberg fully covered in mud jumped out feeling happier than ever as an unconscious Croc floated up in the river.

"Hah! Now we lobsters are the kings!" Zoidberg reigned supreme. "Come now Brethren! Let us join forces and defeat the world's top predator... Mankind!"

Meanwhile... a Mexican Film Crew entered the area.

"As you can see... here is where the Muddy Crocodile inhabits at... OH GOD! WHAT IS THAT!" The Mexican Filmmaker spotted Zoidberg completed covered in mud, but to his eyes it was some kind of terrifying beast. "It's some kind of monster!"

"It's El Chupacabra!" The Mexican Cameraman yelled, pointing at the hideous muddy monster.

"Run!" The Mexican Filmmaker said.

Suddenly the whole Mexican Film crew ran for their lives as Zoidberg mocked them with the words, "Hah! Already we scared away humans and... man, this mud looks so stainful and thick onto my crab skin. Doesn't look like theirs any clean water nearby... Oh well..."


Fry, Leela, Bender and HuckleBear stepped out of the football stadium loving the hell out of the game, with Fry raising his arms to the air saying, "Woo-Hoo!"

"Man, that was one heck of a game. That coach almost made me thought that I was chosed as quarterback" Fry said.

Fry than remembered the scene, what actually happened... He remembered seeing the coach angrily mumbling that his Quarterback got his leg broken. He yelled a bit too.

"Damn it! We need a new Quarterback!" The Coach said. He than turned to Fry, pointing at him, saying, "Hey you!"

"Yeah? Me?" Fry stood up.

"Get your hand off my wife's hand!" The Coach yelled.

Back to reality, Fry said, "Yep. Almost made me thought I was quarterback..."

"Yeah, I guess... But What's going on over there?" Leela pointed to what look like the News Cast about to reporting the news.

"Huh... It looks like Morbo and Linda from the News, live or something. Something must be up." Bender said.

The crew and the mayor came to see what the fuss was all about in this little town as the Anchorman and Anchorwoman were prepared to tell the news.

"Hello there puny races. I WILL DESTROY ALL OF YOU! And now for our anchorwoman, Linda." Morbo said.

"Thanks Morb. Our new story today... El Chupacabra. We had just recieved footage of Chupacabra lurking on the swamp planet." Linda said.

"Swamp Planet!" The Mayor felt angry of this.

"There is a 1 Million Dollar Reward for Chupacabra Capture." Linda said.

"Meanwhile, the whole Universe is shocked to find out that there has been a rabbit that looks exactly like Abraham Lincoln. Scientist named it the Lincoln Rabbit, more news will come soon." Morbo said.

"And were out!" The Cameraman said.

Suddenly Bender smiled saying, "Reward eh?"

"Bender... What on Earth are you thinking?" Leela knew where this was going.

"Were going to find Chupacabra." Bender said. "And if he's another hoax like the unicorn or The War on Drugs, than will fake the capture of Chupacabra.. heh heh."

"Look. Bender. Were not going to fake the capture of Chupacabra." Fry said.

"Fry made a very good reason." Leela added.

"Yeah! Because we are going to capture Chupacabra! Because he's no hoax!" Fry smiled.

Suddenly Leela facepalmed her forehead saying, "Chupacabra is a hoax... No one has actually came with evidence you know."

"That's what they say about Nessie but they found her at the Be-Proud-Scottish Meeting." Fry said.


In the swamps, Fry, Leela, and Bender explored the area along with the Mayor. Leela slashed the giant leaves with her machete as Bender held a rifle. Fry was in charge of the radar as the Mayor was the guide.

"Glad your coming Mr. Mayor. You know this whole planet more than us." Fry smiled.

"It's good of you Fry." Hucklebear said.

"Hey look what we found!" Leela stopped slashing as they were in the sight of something cloaked in mystery.

"Uhh... I.. I don't think we should go their." Hucklebear was nervous before the place as he never thought to see it again.

It was 40 Tons of Concrete, the kind where Gamma Radiation could be slowed down, not stopped, but slowed down. Not only that, it was established into the ground, had a few small attena's outside but it was broken and rusty and what caught their eye most of all, was a certain symbol on it.

"It has a Alpha symbol surrounded by Thirteen Stars on the doors of the bunker. This must be an Expansionists Bunker." Leela said.

"What's one doing way out here? Didn't they just disappeared all of a sudden?" Fry said.

"It's probably abandoned long ago. They must've established during the war. Let's go check it out." Bender suggested.

"Wait! I don't think..." Hucklebear try to warn them, but they wouldn't listen. He grunted angrily, but nevertheless... he followed.


The crew and the mayor, still worried but angry a bit as well, searched out the area but it was empty, there was basically nothing here, completely empty but a few computers Bender was checking out.

"Empty, Empty, Empty!" Leela said.

"I've checked the computer. It appears every piece of information was downloaded." Bender searched through the empty files of the computer.

"How do you know it's empty?" Fry asked.

"Let's just say I know how my magic fingers can get around these computers... heh heh.." Bender chuckled.

"Yuck..." Fry thought, curious though but still disgusted a bit how a robot can make love to another robot.

"I could use another hotdog right now. Pretty hungry." Fry said.

"Hotdog! Here's your hotdog!" The Man from the same Hotdog cart stepped in the bunker out of nowhere, holding a fresh steaming boiled hotdog. "Here you go sir."

Fry handed him a buck and received a hotdog with ketchup and mustard on it.

Leela sighed, looking at The Man working at the hotdog cart, and said, "What do you do? Follow Fry around?"

"Missy. This Fry is paying my College." The Man smiled.

"Oh well... still... There's nothing here. Basically just nothing." Leela said as the Hotdog Man left. "Why would an Expansionist Bunker be doing out here in this Swamp Planet?"

"Again with the Swamp Planet?" Hucklebear sighed.

"Maybe to expand power? I mean they are called the Expansionist for a reason." Fry said.

"Hey! Look what I found!" Bender's voice echoed throughout another part of the bunker.

"Oh no..." The Mayor thought.

Fry, Leela, and the Mayor walked up to an empty storage room... or so it seemed as Bender had founded an odd looking gun.

"What do you suppose what kind of gun it is?" Bender held it up to the three.

"Never seen anything like it. Looks advanced... even at this year." Leela examined carefully of the gun.

Suddenly Fry took it and said, "I wonder what it does.".

"Fry! Don't press the trig..."

Too late, he pressed the trigger and suddenly out of nowhere a green bullet came flying out of the muzzle. Everyone ducked cover as the bullet repeatedly bounced off the wall to floor, to wall again, to ceiling, like something you see in a cartoon.

"FRY! YOU IDIOT!" Leela yelled, a bit pissed off what Fry did.

"I'm a robot! I can take any bullet!" Bender said.

Suddenly the bullet struck Bender in the chest and he was wrong, real wrong. Bender felt a surgical wave throughout his processor and in a second he was shutdown, falling into many mechanical parts and pieces.

"Oh no! What happened to Bender!" Fry was shocked of this.

"I think that bullet had an EMP effect on him! But how is that even possible!" Leela said.

"That can't be it. EMP's are large. The last time someone tried to shrink an EMP's size, it created an unstable explosion." The Mayor said.

Suddenly Fry reached out to Bender's Parts

"Don't worry buddy!" Fry gathered his left arm and eyes first. "We'll fix you up and you'll be brand new"

"ARRGGGGGHHHH!" The voice of a mad lobster screamed outside of the Bunker as everyone turned their attention to that one roar.


The three quickly walked out as Fry carried all of Bender's parts. They saw Zoidberg covered in dry mud surrounded by an army of lobsters.

"Look! Humans! Attack my friends! Attack!" Zoidberg said.

"Chupacabra!" Fry yelled.

"Chupacabra! Where?" Zoidberg was confused, looking in every direction.

"That ain't no mythical monster. That's Zoidberg and he has Mad Lobster Fever!" The Mayor said, just realizing who that lobster is.

"Really? That's Zoidberg? It's about time I kick his butt for all those troubles." Leela felt sure he was going to kick him, especially the last time Zoidberg did surgery on her brain. Didn't end well...

Leela ran to Zoidberg and leaped in the air to kick him, but the Lobsters around the Decapodian formed together into a shield. Leela bounced back to the ground as Fry was afraid to fight the lobsters.

"Don't worry! We can still fight him off Fry... Fry?" The Mayor didn't hear an answer. He turned around to see him running scared off to the bunker. "Fry! YOU COWARD!"


Fry sat in a corner, feeling desperate for help as he sat next to a pile of Bender's parts.

"Oh... what can I do... I don't have karate skills like Leela. Or strength like Bender. Wait a minute? Strength like Bender.. Hmm..." Fry had an idea, as he turned his attention to Bender's Parts and Pieces...

"This might just work... But I need some energy!" Fry said.

"Here Kid! Here's a hotdog! This one's on the house!" TheHotdog Man held a steamed boiled hotdog towards the once Coward.


Leela and the Mayor were on the ground, injured, hurt, and in need of help.

"Ha! Now who's the better lobster!" Zoidberg laughed.

"Zoidberg! Stop! You've just got stress and anger on your hands! You don't know what you're doing!" Leela said.

"He may not... but I do!" A voice echoed from the bunker. Leela and the Mayor recognized this voice, afterall... only one person was in that bunker.

Zoidberg, Leela, Hucklebear, and every Lobster's attention turned to the bunker. They heard the noise of metal clunking to the ground, the shackling of many bolts and screws, and red hair waved throughout the wind. Their Fry stepped out of the Bunker wearing the strength and armor of Bender. He even had the helmet of Bender's Head on him. He was some kind of Man of 40% Titanium.

"What are you? A comedian?" Zoidberg said.

"Call me Iron Fry!" Fry said.

"That's sound like a rip-off of Iron Man." Zoidberg said.

"Yeah... well... He probably ripped off of me." Fry said. "Now are we going to fight, or what?"

"AHHH!" Zoidberg responded, running up to him with his claws.

Fry too ferociously yelled out a battle cry, "AHHHHH!". The two ran two each other as Zoidberg, leader of an army of lobsters, and Fry, the Man of 40% Zinc and some Mercury probably, clashed into battle. Fry swooped his fist to Zoidberg's face but Zoidberg was quick. He punched him right in the gut, but thanks to the alloy of Bender, it wasn't too much of an injury.

"Hah! Is that all you can do to Iron Fry!" Fry said.

"Again with the Iron Man Rip-off? What are you? Seth McFarlane?" Zoidberg said.

"Hey! McFarlane does some honest work! Everyone loves his work!" Fry argued.

"Uh-huh... Uh-huh. Say that to Matt Groening will you!" Zoidberg said.

"All those cartoonist's shows are equally great!" Fry said.

"Talk to the claw." Zoidberg sighed, waved his claw at him.

"OH! THAT'S IT!" Fry was getting real angry.

Fry tackled Zoidberg as suddenly the same Mexican Film Crew came, spotting Zoidberg fighting with Fry.

"Oh no! First El Chupacabra! Now El Iron Man!" The Mexican Film Maker said. "Quick! The net!"

Immediately, the Film Crew threw a net over both of them as they both stopped fighting, noticing a net over them.


All over the galaxy, The Press, The News, the Scientists, came all over to know about Zoidberg AKA El Chupacabra.

"Ms. Turanga Leela. Do you know anything about this beast named El Chupacabra?" Morbo asked, holding a microphone towards her.

"He's not the Chupacabra! His name is Zoidberg! He works at Planet Express!" Leela said.


Suddenly on the streets of planets everywhere, a batch of newspaper came with the headlines... "EL CHUPACABRA AKA ZOIDBERG HAS A JOB?


The interview went on as Morbo asked, "Does the monster has a diet?"

"Well... Some of his favorites are Dorito's and Smoked Sausages..." Leela said.


A Batch of Fresh Newspaper came onto the streets with the headlines... "EL CHUPACABRA'S DIET! DORITO'S AND SMOKED SAUSAGES!"


Leela, still being interviewed, sighed at the crew as they were mislead to believe Zoidberg to be El Chupacabra.

"Has the monster ever loved anyone?" Morbo asked.

"Well... he did loved a Decapodian... but she left him for someone else." Leela answered.


A new batch of newspaper strolled along the park as the headlines were... "BRIDE OF EL CHUPACABRA DIVORCES HIM FOR ANOTHER MONSTER! POSSIBLY BIG FOOT!"


"Okay. That's all we needed to know." Morbo said.

"Finally..." Leela sighed, as the questions were finally over as the Crew, Scientists, everyone who wasn't from this planet besides the crew, left in a hurry.

"Hey Leela. We should still look for the professor you know." Fry, still wearing Bender as armor, said.

"Yeah... might take a while." Leela said.

Suddenly out of nowhere... the screams of an old man echoed throughout the swamp.

"What was that?" Fry said.

Out of nowhere, Farnsworth,wearing undewear made out of leaves, landed to the ground from the vines.

"Me. Farnzan!" Farnsworth said.

"I'll handle this." Hucklebear said.

The mayor slowly walked up to Farnsworth, wild and crazy, as the hunter held a bottle of medicine, probably to calm the lunatic down.

"Hello Farnsworth. You're not Tarzan... Your Farnsworth."

"Me. Not lord of jungle? Me.. Farnsworth?" Farnsworth said.

"Yes. This is medicine to take off the stress. Here take it." Hucklebear reached out to him.

Farnsworth slowly reached his hand towards the medicine, thinking he maybe a friend, until Hucklebear pulled out a baton and clubbed him right on the head, knocking him out to unconcious.

"Well that's over." Hucklebear spoke, placing the medicine into his mouth. "Ahh... my stress is relieved."


Everyone was back to normal, Bender was fixed, Fry was calm as a fox, Farnsworth was not Tarzan anymore, and Leela took some stress medicine offered from Hucklebear.

"What's everyone doing?" Amy entered the Employee Lounge.

"Yeah. You look like you had a rough day." Hermes entered as well.

"Yes, it was nice for Hucklebear to lend me a hand with a letter for my pet. Now, let's just watch some old fashion 30th Century TV." Farnsworth sighed as he clicked the TV remote.


"Welcome to the news..." Morbo, sad and depressed. "I'm sad to inform... that the Lincoln Bunny was assassinated... It is believe that... the mysterious Wilkes Booth Monkey was the culprit. Were still searching for that monkey! You hear me! MORBO WILL DESTROY YOU!... Will be here all day if we have to."

"Meanwhile, there are still ongoing studies if the Chupacabra really is the mythical beast or just another hoax." Linda smiled. "Here is an interview right now."

Suddenly the camera switched to a camera at a Science Convention.

"After washing the mud off the monster, finding even an uglier monster under the mud... the results are... Inconclusive! We are not sure if he's the Chupacabra." The Head of The Science Comittee.

"What are you saying, Professor?" A Reporter asked.

"Were saying that he is either a brilliant intelligent newly discovered beast... or he's just a dumb brainless citizen of Earth." The Scientist said.


"That's a load of crap!" The Professor said.

"Yeah... who would believe that's Chupacabra?" Leela said.

"Yes I know! My pet Chupacabra is right next to me right now." Farnsworth said.

"Wait what?" Fry said.

Suddenly everyone looked to see a green sucking lizard with big bulging eyes ready to suck the life out of someone.

"AHHH!" Screams came rushing through Planet Express, as everyone outside stood looking at it, wondering what the screams were all about.


The Planet Express crew were all at the Conference Room, everyone had bite marks as the only ones were a smiling Zoidberg and Nibbler, who was in the lap of Leela.

"Finally... that was over... It's a good thing your pet Nibbler came in other wise I would lose the rest of my 23% of blood." Farnsworth said.

Suddenly Nibbler burped out scales the next second.

"INCOMING MESSAGE..." The Computer yelled out.

"Send it in to speaker." Farnsworth said.

A shrilling angry moan came through the speakers, someone was their but they didn't spoke at first.

"Who is this?" Bender asked.

"YOU SHOULD HAVE NEVER CAME THEIR... THE BUNKER..." The Voice came throughout the monitor.

"Who is this?" Fry asked.

"MESSAGE COMPLETE FROM UNKNOWN CALLER." The Computer said.

"Who could it be?" Leela said.

"All this strange talking is making me hungry. I need a hotdog." Fry said.

"Get your hotdog! Get your hotdog here!" The Hotdog man came with a cart of boiling hotdogs.

"Oh lord..." Leela sighed.


(Extra Scene)

"NO CLIP AVAILABLE"... So instead, let's just have another rerun of "Everybody Loves Hypnotoad!"

Hypnotoad stands in vast white space as.. OH GOD! PLEASE! NO HYPNOTOAD! OH GOD! NOOOOO!
