SyFy is celebrating 4/20 by getting "high on Hypnotoad."

SyFy will air a marathon of "Futurama episodes selected for maximum trip-enhancing effect and Hypnotoad-centricity." This marathon is being billed as an invasion by the mesmerizing Hynotoad "complete with his own far-out logo, psychedelic sidebar, and hypnotic interruptions."

The Hynotoad takeover airs from 8 am ET to 2 am ET. Here are the episodes being shown, including all three episodes of Bender's Big Score, which was originally released as a direct-to-video movie:

  • 11/10c – The Sting: A killer bee sting sends Leela on a long, strange trip.
  • 11:30/10:30c – Bender Should Not Be Allowed on Television: Bender becomes a television star, as well as a terrible role model for children.
  • 12am/11c – Rebirth: After a devastating spaceship crash, the Professor attempts to resuscitate the crew with his birth machine.
  • 12:32am/11:32c – Mobius Dick: Leela becomes obsessed with hunting down a mysterious, four-dimensional space whale.
  • 1:01am/12:01c – Reincarnation: FUTURAMA is reconceived in three alternate animation styles: classic black-and-white, old-school video game and Japanese anime.
  • 1:31am/12:31c – Decision 3012: Leela becomes campaign manager for a presidential candidate whose birth certificate is mysteriously missing.
