Anesthesigass

Anesthesigass is a fictional substance appearing in the animated television series Futurama. It is depicted as a form of anesthetic gas used in the future. The gas is often portrayed as being highly potent and capable of quickly rendering individuals unconscious. Its primary function within the narrative is to facilitate incapacitation, whether for comedic effect, plot progression, or as a tool used by various characters.

In Futurama, Anesthesigass is sometimes employed by the Planet Express crew during their often-unconventional missions. It can also be used by antagonists to subdue heroes or by accidental exposure to create humorous situations. The visual representation of Anesthesigass typically involves a swirling, often colored gas, that dissipates quickly once its effects are achieved. While its exact chemical composition is not detailed, its name suggests a direct link to anesthesia, implying properties that suppress sensory input and motor function. The term itself is a portmanteau of "anesthesia" and "gas," reinforcing its function. Its consistent use throughout the series highlights its established role as a recognizable element within the show's futuristic setting.
