So far as sudden romantic pairings in sitcoms go, Kif and Amy are a stroke of genius. Previous to season 3’s “Amazon Girls within the Temper,” each characters had pretty minor roles within the sequence. It’d had been established that Amy was enjoyable and easygoing, however males by no means appeared all for her character, nor did they’ve any plans for any sort of long-term dedication. In the meantime, Kif’s been established as somebody missing in confidence, who would by no means in 1,000,000 years consider {that a} lady like Amy would exit with a man like him.
The episode the place they get collectively initially looks as if it’s going to comply with the present’s established sample of kicking Kif whereas he is down; he manages to get a date with Amy, however Zapp ruins it by pressuring Kif to make use of his horrible pick-up traces as a substitute of bothering to make an everyday dialog. It is simple to think about a model of this episode the place Kif blows it completely, and his emotions for Amy are by no means talked about once more. As an alternative, Kif saves the day, learns to disregard Zapp’s relationship recommendation, and summons the braveness to admit his love for her.
It is with this relationship that each Kif and Amy actually begin to develop as characters. Simply as Kif’s being pregnant brings out a critical facet to Amy, Amy’s adventurous nature pushes Kif to be extra assertive. He wins the approval of Amy’s mother and father (form of) in season 4’s “The place the Buggalo Roam,” punches Zapp within the 2008 film “The Beast With a Billion Backs,” and even disobeys Zapp’s direct order within the 2009 film, “Into the Wild Inexperienced Yonder.”
