"Why don't they just give him a pill". The worms managed to cut a pipe, use the metal to build a scifi city inside a digestive track, and heal a fist sized hole going through the whole body (so regrowing organs, spine and reconnecting the spinal cord) without leaving a single scar. My guy, I don't think a pill would work :D

12:05 The worms want the host to be healthy and durable so they have a forever home and by being so helpful they are much more likely to be allowed to stay.

That episode was based on Fantastic Voyage, a 1966 science fiction film about a submarine crew who is shrunk to microscopic size and venture into the body of an injured scientist to repair damage to his brain. Bantam Books obtained the rights for a paperback novelization based on the screenplay and approached Isaac Asimov to write it. Its modern and imaginative production design received five nominations at the 39th Academy Awards mostly in technical departments, winning for Best Visual Effects and Best Art Direction in Color.

@@RichardX1 this one is a little less impressive, but iirc the reason fry spawns in 2999 instead of 3000 instantly in the first episode is because a second or two gets lost a year, so they added all of those seconds up & got fry in 2999 a little before 3000 new years.

Talking about the colonoscopy (sorry if my spelling is off) and how they work was actually really interesting to me. My grandma hit the age where she was supposed to get one as part of her yearly medical exam but refused to because she said she was scared. My grandpa, who is five years younger than her, wasn't due for one but scheduled one completely out of pocket just because he loved her so much he wanted to prove it wasn't scary by having one first. They caught colon/rectal cancer with his. He's now been nearly 25 years cancer free now. And, thanks to seeing how important the screening was, even though she probably wasn't particularly less scared after how his turned out, she did get her colonoscopy, and everything was fine for her.

The worms to me definitely appear to mostly just be your garden-variety earthworms. They have clitellum and segments.

As a proud parent of an 16 mo old baby who just got over HFM they contracted from their daycare, I did not need to worry about them also getting worms. Going to have nightmares now.

[@kevinlongoria4643]

Yes, pinworms, and kids tend to spread them around to others bc children's hygiene sucks...

[@kevinlongoria4643]

Don't let them play in any sandboxes outside either, especially if they are uncovered, as animals can go to the bathroom in them (the sandboxes) and various parasites and bacteria can be transferred that way... (I work in animal hospital)

Thank you Dr Mike for letting me know that the worms I had for years as a child were pin worms (if anyone is wondering why I had them for years, tldr chronic medical neglect, to the point where I learned very young that there was no point in bothering to tell them when something was wrong, because they were just going to tease me and do nothing. This is to the point where my parents didn't realize until I was about 15 or 16 that my toes are all deformed from being forced to wear shoes that were too small when I was little, despite the fact that I (understandably, in my opinion) hate wearing shoes and usually wear sandals or walked around the house barefoot. So yeah, if you're a parent, actually listen to your kids when they tell you something is wrong, and don't make fun of them for it.

Doctor Mike: *Looks like a normal person* Also Doctor Mike: *”My head is too small!”*

15:40 As a Spanish speaker let me tell you that "yo" is fine. "Me" doesn't work the same in both languages.

[@magesentron]

The Penny in the stomach is probably a double joke. Both that Fry is so dumb, he ate a penny at some point, and it's a sly reference to the giant coin in the Batcave.

[@davohna]

One of my fav episodes of Futurama..Fav line? It's like there's a party in my mouth and everyone's throwing up😆😆😆

[@jullyauau]

Futurama is my favorite show ever

[@krylesung]

I always look forward to the outro of Dr. Mike's videos because in the background, you could see him awkwardly doing everything except looking into the camera 😂

[@laurenarigo3894]

“Your fine” is the response every doctor’s kid gets.

[@generositygamer7971]

8:10 I like to get rid of my earwax, because it's itchy, and makes it harder for me to hear. I tend to wait till it starts itching to remove it.

[@rodrigoalvas1866]

15:40 "yo" in Spanish is I, but it can also be used as "me" in the right context. "fui yo" = "was me"

Dr Mike: worms can get to the brain RFK Jr.: hold my worm

[@curtisberard7831]

Worm:"He's bluffing! No creature would knowingly make an ass out of itself!" Fry:"Obviously you've never been in love." LOVE that exchange

[@deathsythe42]

Hey Mike, I think the elevator is supposed to be the Vagal nerve. It makes sense being the only cranial nerve to extend below the head. Just an LPN student's thought for your question regarding the colon to brain elevator.

[@adritisengupta]

The intro got me laughing so hard😂

[@Jorge0012]

Dr Mike is the best at making reaction videos, because he will make a comment out of everything with a serious answer.

[@pixywings]

I always laugh at the sign above the sink that reads " Employees must wipe hands on pants" 🤣 I love this episode and I want those worms! 😂

[@sempersolus5511]

Dr. Mike mentioned the penny, but he never expressed surprise at how regularly Fry appears to eat his silverware. Also, something Dr. Varshavsky never mentioned: when Fry cuts his own brain, he shouldn't say "Ow". The brain has no sensory neurons. In fact, people experiencing brain surgery can stay awake through the whole procedure. It's wild.

[@aniyn]

There was a cut scene that explained what was up with that. The worms needed the metal for their civilization I suppose.

I remember the Untold Stories of the ER episode where a driver and rear passenger of a car accident had a metal pipe from a chain link fence go through both. If I remember correctly the biggest issue was rapid separation because one was thoracic and one was abdominal.

[@tondriasanders6306]

You could get so much mileage out of videos featuring Dr. John Zoidberg and his medically questionable shenanigans 😂
