Stench and Stenchibility

"Stench and Stenchibility" is the one hundred and thirty-ninth episode of Futurama, the twenty-fifth of the seventh production season and the twelfth of the tenth broadcast season. It aired on 28 August 2013, on Comedy Central. Dr. Zoidberg meets the love of his life while Bender squares off in a deadly tap-dancing competition.

Plot
A girl named Marianne (voiced by English actress ) falls in love with Zoidberg as she cannot smell his foul odours, due to being born with no sense of smell. However, Zoidberg (being a doctor) could give her the opportunity to have her sense of smell repaired with a nose transplant, creating a dilemma that could end their relationship.

Production

Trivia

 * Both this episode, which is the second-to-last episode of the tenth broadcast season, and "Viva Mars Vegas", which was originally planned to be the second-to-last episode of the ninth broadcast season, have Zoidberg as the main character.
 * The title caption for the episode &mdash; "Not The Episode With The Dead Dog" &mdash; is presumably a reference to Seymour &mdash; Fry's dog. The episode referred to is most likely "Jurassic Bark", in which Seymour famously debuted.
 * Emilia Clarke plays in the T.V. series . She and Family Guy creator Seth MacFarlane, who guest-stars in "Game of Tones", another episode of the season, used to date.
 * The blonde woman in the pink dress, seen at the NNY Recreation Center, resembles Stephanie.
 * Marianne mentions a "falafel guy". This may be the falafel cart man.

Allusions

 * Bender's bug bombs are named "Hal's Roach Bombs", a homage to American film and television producer, director, and actor.
 * Marianne's flower stand is named "The Flowering Inferno", a reference to the 1974 film .
 * Marianne's character may be a reference to the character, from the 1912 play ' and the 1964 film ', who had a accent and sold flowers, though the plots of the episode and the play/film differ greatly.
 * Bender's knee injury is a reference to the 1994 assault case where professional figure skater received a knee injury from fellow skater.
 * Bender's line "Together, we shall rule the galaxy!" is likely a reference to ''Star Wars 's line "Join me, and together we can rule as father and son", from the 1980 film '.

Continuity

 * The professor uses the F-ray, previously seen in "Fry and the Slurm Factory" and "Murder on the Planet Express".
 * In "The Six Million Dollar Mon", his previous appearance, Roberto was executed. No explanation is given for his return, although it is likely that it is due to him having a back-up unit.
 * The professor calls Fry Orange Joe. In "Fun on a Bun", the professor asked Fry his name, and Fry told him that it was Orange Joe.
 * Randy's line "The robot has to go!" was previously spoken in "I, Roommate". Both episodes are also written by the same person.

Goofs

 * When Zoidberg says "Nope", his eyes are white.
 * Previous episodes have shown that Zoidberg can't tell the difference between male and female humans, yet in this episode he clearly can tell that Marianne is female.
 * He may have finally learned to tell the difference.
 * In this story Zoidberg's stench is completely unbearable by anyone. However in previous stories multiple people have stayed in close proximity to him without any problems.
 * Marianne explanation for why she likes Zoidberg's smell and dislikes flowers makes no sense, you don't learn which smells are good and bad, it is a natural response.
