    “And Kif, as the most attractive male, will be snu-snued by the most beautiful women of Amazonia. Then the large women! Then the petite women. Then the large women again!”

      I love the little bit of Fridge Brilliance embedded in that line. Why would the large women get the most snu snu? Because they made the decision - the large women are probably the ones in charge of the social pecking order. And it makes perfect sense that the largest women of Amazonia are in charge. Their physical strength means they can literally push others around, and in a society of humanoids that’s become as giant as they are, it’s likely that the largest women have been prioritized for mating rights as well.

      In this same light, it makes sense that Zapp, the largest of the three, is snu snu’d by the large women, while skinny Fry gets the petite women. The large women have the best chances of having large offspring by snu snuing Zapp. The petite women probably have less say than the rest, so they’re given the scrawny guy. Everybody wants Kif, but the large women still demand more snu snu than the rest, so they get him twice.

      Edit to add: a direct link to the Futurama page on Fridge Brilliance, simply because it’s much more fun than doomscrolling and I figured others might enjoy it, too. The thing I said isn’t on there, but the page does offer this:

      In “Amazon Women in the Mood”, the ruler of an all-female society describes Kif as being the most attractive of all the men. At first, it just seemed like a humorous joke, as Kif is a goofy-looking alien, and not exactly the epitome of masculinity. But this panel from the comics gives a decent explanation as to why the women of Amazonia were so charmed by Kif. Being effeminate and girlish are traits that are typically seen as undesirable in men on Earth but would definitely be desirable traits in a society populated entirely by women.

    Annoying fact: my state won’t let me get a SNU SNU license plate because it’s “derogatory.” If you know the reference, then you likely have the type of mindset that would find it funny.

      Maybe they just searched the term and found “Death by Snu Snu” and decided to reject it based on that without getting the joke.

        No, in the letter, they stated that it may be offensive to tall women because snu-snu means sex with unusually tall women.

        It just means sex, IMO.

        Fun fact: I considered shortening “death by snu-snu” to license plate length and got DTHBYSS. Took me a minute to realize what was wrong with that.

      Can you explain the joke? My English has limits apparently. I did find funny the whole situation, but didn’t see any reference. For me it may as well be death by phi phi, and still funny… The only word near to snu that I can find is snooze… Pls help!

        Snu-snu is a made up word that means sex. In the episode “Amazonian Women in the Mood,” the crew goes to a planet inhabited by only super tall, muscular women who don’t often see men, and they want to have snu-snu with the men of the crew. They are dressed similarly to the woman in the original post.

        The show writers used snu-snu to refer to sex without using the word sex. It’s essentially a censorship work around.

        My journey reading her about me section went so quickly from

        “Tch, no one is ever going to pronounce Khainsaw correctly”

        To

        “This person is orders of magnitude more capable and impressive than me in every conceivable way and I need to develop some kind of useful skill now so that I can seek her out as my protector in the apocalypse and be seen as worthy. “
