"A Leela of Her Own" Trivia Quiz

Answer: False

We're told that the strip club wall had already collapsed earlier that day, and that Fry did indeed get his binoculars in the remote hope that it would happen again. However, by the time the episode starts he's already "grown to accept that it won't", and is now looking at a new pizza parlor opening up next door.

Answer: Breaks them in half

As a Cyclops, Leela can only use them as a scope, looking down one half and not the other. Why she breaks them in half is of course unexplained - what a waste!

Answer: "I didn't order any"

Fry wasn't a terribly bad delivery boy, but apparently the vast majority of his deliveries were practical jokes. In fact, it was one such practical joke that got Fry to the 31st century - an order to one "I.C. Wiener" at a cryogenic freezing facility.

Answer: Anchovies

Cygnoid food is apparently quite inedible, to the point of being downright dangerous. Of course, anchovies aren't even available in regular restaurants in the 30th century - they were fished to extinction.

Answer: Bob Uecker

Fry shows the Cygnoids a Blernsball match on television, which completely confuses them. Of course, Blernsball is a confusing game to begin with, even more confusing than its predecessor, Baseball.

Answer: Scruffy

To teach them how to play blernsball, Fry invites the Cygnoids to a friendly match against the Planet Express team. The Cygnoids score a surprisingly high number of points, for a team of people who've never even heard of the game before. This is thanks to Leela who keeps hitting their batters with her ball.

Answer: Yes

She says "Fry! I'm a professional ballplayer! So go ahead". Unfortunately for Fry, now that he's finally got the chance to touch that sweet, sweet hiney, he's too nervous to actually do it.

Answer: A circus clown

Leela wasn't hired for her skill. She can throw a mean ball, but always at the wrong place - she keeps hitting the batter, costing her team a large number of points. The reason they hired her at all was because the Mets suck so much already, that they need such sideshow attractions to remain popular.

Answer: Beans

Leela's dubious specialty is "beaning", which is a baseball term for hitting the batter with the ball. She does this every time she throws. Her fans even count the number of times she beans per game! Leela later does a Spanish commercial for "Frijoles" (beans).

Answer: The Family Bros. Pizza Parlor

At her signing, she meets Jackie Anderson, a female ballplayer (named after the male baseball legend Jackie Robinson), who berates her for being so bad at blernsball. Jackie says Leela's incompetence is ruining the chance for other women to finally be accepted into Major League Blernsball.

Answer: FALSE

Actually, Hermes points out that with her current statistics, she is sure to go down as the WORST blernsball player of all time. Leela decides she will undergo training to become "NOT the worst ballplayer of all time"!
She then punches out Professor Farnsworth completely by accident.

Answer: "Blernsball Fever - Contract it!"

The Hall of Fame contains such memorabilia as the first ball hit into orbit, Mark McGwire's gigantic bicep, and all the heads of the 2927 Yankees stuffed in a single head-jar. There's also a display of the players who broke the various color barriers (green, orange, purple, and white-and-black-split-down-the-middle!).

The last room contains the worst ballplayer of all time: Hank Aaron the 24th.

Answer: Bender's head

Bender warns him that Leela is known for being able to lodge a baseball in the "death center of the brain", so Aaron takes Bender's head and wears it on his own for protection.

Answer: TRUE

Apparently, keeping her eye ON the ball, as you would normally want to (at least in some sports) is problematic, since Leela only has one eye and consequently no depth perception. Turns out that when she's not letting her eye interfere with her pitching, she's actually pretty good at it!

Answer: FALSE

Actually, it's her debut in the league, and given her performance, certainly not her last game. She's actually so good (and not just compared to the terrible Leela) that she manages to hit the ball into a special hole at the far end of the field marked "Hit it here and win the game".
