This episode opens with a planet being destroyed by a swarm of giant brains; the action then moves to Earth where the crew are attending a pet competition. Leela has entered Nibbler but he doesn't perform well; in fact he is judged the stupidest pet ion the show! When the brains reach Earth we learn that Nibbler is far from stupid; he is part of a race that is even older than the universe and only acts stupid so he can observe the goings on on Earth. Leela is shocked to see him getting into a tiny spaceship and as the brains arrive he takes her to his home world at the centre of the universe. There she learns that there is only one person in the universe that is impervious to the brains' stupefying effects... that person is Fry! She must return to Earth and tell him what to do... something that won't be easy as she will become stupid as she nears the brains.
This was a good episode; the opening scenes in the pet show provided plenty of laughs and introduced us to the Hypnotoad! The various exotic pets provided some good laughs as did the sight of Bender whipping Zoidberg around the pet obstacle course. The main story about the brains was entertaining; mostly because it taught us about Nibbler and the Nibblonians... they are so cute... especially when they are denying it. The final scenes as Fry battles the 'Big Brain' were pretty funny too; I won't spoil how he does it though!
