    It’s one of my favorites (when I saw it two decades ago) but I guess I get the references. I just thought Fry pretending not to know what a video game was and the internet being full of ads and sex still relevant? Bender also stealing everything was a delight.

        I remember the joke before that being:

        “this statue’s only got one eye”

        “lazy sculptor”

        then when the “no eyes” bit came up … I was cracking up.

      The internet being full of ads and sex is still relevant (ads possibly moreso) but yeah it’s not as fresh as it was. If anything the Napster episode aged worse than the plain internet one, but I think it holds up as an episode better.
