Wow — if you're hunting for a crisp 'death by snu snu' GIF, I get the itch. The scene anyone thinks of comes from 'Futurama' episode 'Amazon Women in the Mood', so start there when searching. My go-to places are Tenor and Giphy because they index lots of fan-made clips and often have high-resolution uploads. Search with terms like "death by snu snu gif", "snu-snu gif", or "Amazon Women in the Mood gif". Tumblr and Imgur also host long-lived fandom uploads; Tumblr tags for 'Futurama' can lead you to slightly older but very faithful loops.
If you want absolute quality control, I sometimes download a short clip (from a legal source I have access to) and convert it myself to a GIF or a WebP. A clip converted from a good quality MP4 will look way cleaner than a re-uploaded, compressed GIF. Also check Reddit communities like r/Futurama or r/ReactionGifs — people will often post high-res versions or point to the original upload. Personally I prefer a clean loop with good frame rate; nothing ruins the joke like a choppy loop, so I usually re-export at 15–20 fps and crop tightly. Hope you find one that slaps — this bit never stops being hilarious to me.

I get why you want a crisp 1080p 'death by snu snu' GIF — that bit from 'Futurama' is iconic and looks great in high resolution. If you want it fast and solid quality, here's how I do it in two quick stages: grab the best-quality source, then convert smartly.
First I grab the highest-resolution clip I can find. If it's on YouTube or a streaming rip, I use yt-dlp with a format selector like: yt-dlp -f "bestvideo[height<=1080]+bestaudio/best[height<=1080]" -o "video.%(ext)s". That gets me a 1080p local file fast. If you already have a file, skip this.
Next I trim and make the GIF with ffmpeg using a palette for better color and smaller size. Example (replace START and END with timestamps): ffmpeg -ss START -to END -i video.mkv -vf fps=15,scale=1920:-1:flags=lanczos,palettegen=statsmode=diff palette.png && ffmpeg -ss START -to END -i video.mkv -i palette.png -filtercomplex "fps=15,scale=1920:-1:flags=lanczos[x];[x][1:v]paletteuse" out.gif. If the GIF is massive, drop fps to 12 or scale to 1280:-1, or use gifsicle -O3 --colors 128 out.gif -o outopt.gif to shrink it. Honestly, for sharing I usually prefer an MP4/WebM — smaller and still loopable — but if you absolutely want GIF, the palette method is the fastest way to a high-quality result that still won’t make your hard drive cry. It always makes me grin seeing that shot in HD.

I get a little nerdy about copyright stuff, so here’s the practical breakdown: the short clip that people turn into the 'death by snu snu' GIF comes from the episode 'Amazon Women in the Mood' of 'Futurama', and the original audiovisual work is owned by the studio that produced or distributed the show. That was 20th Century Fox Television originally, and since the Fox assets were acquired, those rights now sit with the larger company that owns those catalogs. Practically speaking that studio owns the underlying copyright in the footage.
That said, if someone creates a GIF by clipping, cropping, or adding effects, they can own copyright in the new elements they added (like creative edits or overlays). That ownership does not grant them rights to the underlying footage — they still need permission to commercially exploit the original material, and even noncommercial sharing can be challenged. Many platforms tolerate GIF memes, and sometimes rights holders are chill about fan-made content, but legally the safe answer is: the studio holds the primary copyright, while the GIF-maker only owns any new, original creative additions. Personally, I still use that GIF in comments all the time — it’s the little rebellions of fandom that keep the internet fun.

This scene knocks the socks off any quick-reaction GIF — the sweet spot is right around the sentencing beat in 'Amazon Women in the Mood'. I like to capture roughly 12:06–12:16 of the episode: start when the judge/leader delivers the line that triggers the men's reactions and run through the first few exaggerated groans and collapses. That gives you a tight 8–10 second loop that shows the punchline, the physical comedy, and the facial expressions without dragging.
For me, the magic is in the timing: crop to keep the four men centered, zoom just a touch so you read the faces, and aim for a seamless loop where the final frame leads naturally back to the opening pose. A slightly shorter loop (6–7 seconds) works great on social feeds; a full 10 seconds feels better for message boards where people like the little build-up. I always end up smiling when that loop fires off in a thread — it never loses its ridiculous charm.
