I’m glad I’m not alone in feeling that way The worst scene for me was when they were making the candy (a plot point that went nowhere). The professor’s “diabetic coma!” line followed by “It’s too sweet, better add more sugar” from Fry is just so lazy. The dialogue is just mirroring the action and not adding anything and the jokes are just garbage

I honestly forgot all about the candy as soon as the episode was over. I guess the point was to have Zapp want to be manscaped with it? You're right, it was terrible both in concept and execution.

Here’s hoping that the candy is a “brick joke.” A lot of the creators of the show also worked on Disenchantment, which has been basically 4 seasons of setting up the dominoes, so maybe that rubbed off on them.
