''The Magnificent Three'' is a 3001 political drama written and directed by legendary silent hologram comedian Harold Zoid, and executive produced by Bender Bending Rodriguez.

The plot is about a son (Calculon of ''All My Circuits'' fame) not wanting to follow in his father's (Zoid in his comeback role) footsteps -- that job being President of Earth, and the son is currently the Vice-President. The film also stars Zoid's nephew John A. Zoidberg as the Vice-President's associate Lieutenant Smith.

Despite negative reception upon its premiere (In fact, everyone left the theater before it ended), the film helped garner Zoid an UsefulNotes/AcademyAward for Best Actor in a surprise win.

!!Examples:
* BigNo: The Vice-President does this after [[spoiler:his father dies, making him the new President.]]
* DownerEnding: [[spoiler: The President dies, and now the Vice-President has to take his father's job whether he wants to or not.]]
* FoodSlap: At one point, the Vice-President throws a cup of water onto his father's face.
* FunnyBackgroundEvent: As seen in the above picture, several scenes have White House staffers doing crazy things in the middle of tense scenes. This was due to Zoid's insistence to add a little comedy to soften the drama.
%%* GreyRainOfDepression: The ending.
* PieInTheFace: Several White House staffers throw pies at each other. This came about due to the reasons states above. Most of the film's budget ended up being spent on pies.
* TemptingFate: The President, refusing to accept his son's resignation, proclaims "I would sooner die, I would." [[spoiler:He then falls of a ledge and dies.]]
