Well, this one was better than the last. The title obviously refers to "Turtles all the way down"

Best episode of the season for me. Love Amy pushing the Professor!

When Bender dropped to the simulation, his empty shell of a body rebooted. The implication is that's a Bender from a higher order universe than "ours", right? All the Benders just moved down a level?

Yeah, that seems to be the implication at least

so this one wasn’t especially funny but they did at least do a fun concept episode instead of half an hour of all the hottest takes from 2021

Oh, Fry drinking Onion Dew was a laugh.

This was good! A good Futurama episode either makes me laugh or makes me think, and this did both.

I loved the 2-pixel recognizable characters in the early version of the simulation.

If they had brought in the Harlem Globetrotters to consult on the simulation question I would have given it a 10/10.
