Your Favorite Futurama Moment

Of course Bender starts going through (un)likely words.

My favorite: Antiquing?

What WAS the last word Bender said before the bomb went off? I couldn't ever hear it clearly. Was it Antiquing?

Yes, the word was "antiquing."

I was looking at Wikipedia, and they say the first new DVD, "Bender's Big Score," is supposed to have Seymour returning. I hope they finally go ahead and clone him. They owe us, dammit.

[Santos L Halper]

I pulled out the season one DVDs and watched a couple episodes again last night. Even after seeing Love's Labours Lost in Space many times over the years, it still has my laughing out loud in a number of scenes.

Fry: I betcha Leela's holding out for a nice guy with one eye.
Bender: That'll take forever. What she oughta do is find a nice guy with two eyes and poke one out.
Fry: Yeah, that'd be a timesaver.
Leela: Do you mind?
Bender: Here you go. [He pulls out a fork.] You can use this as an eye-poker.
Leela: Thank you. But I don't care how many eyes a man has ... as long as it's less than five.

Kif: Shall I fire on them now, sir?
Zapp: Not yet, Kif. In the game of chess, you can never let your adversary see your pieces.

Which reminds me of this one from another Zapp episode:

Zapp: If we hit that bullseye, the rest of the dominos will fall like a house of cards. Checkmate.

[11811]

My signature

Bender stopped drinking, which made him innebriated. Leila told him to start drinking again "if not for yourself, for the people who love you"

[pesch]

I've been afraid to contribute, because there's so many lines, so many scenes.

Then I remembered this one ....

Can't remember which ep., but the crew is walking through a gym where people are working out on weight machines, and this one woman is really working it. You can see multiple slabs of metal going up and down, up and down.

The sign at the top of the machine reads: "kegelizer"

My wife and I broke out laughing and I dam near fell off the couch. We had to stop the DVD until we calmed down enough.

6. “Pimpmobile”
5. “Bite”
4. “My”
3. “Shiny”
2. “Daffodil”
1. “Ass”

Each one of those words was uttered by Bender at least once in the episode.

Of course, there's an irony-gag in there too, based on the progession of numbers 5, 4, and 3.

The first time War is the H-Word aired on Fox, the ending was pre-empted by a news break of Florida state secretary Katherine Harris announcing the results of the contested 2000 election. A person on Usenet has the sig line "Watch out! If Bender says 'ass," Katherine Harris will appear!" It's a funny line in itself, but I didn't know what it meant when I first read it. When I saw the episode for the second time, I recalled Harris's announcement aired immediately after Bender said "ass" and feared he was going to blow up. And I laughed out loud linking it to the sig line.

[Surbey]

I just love this show soo much.

Richard Nixon, on what he would do when elected president:

"I'll sell our children's organs to zoos, for meat! And I'll go into people's houses at night and wreck up the place!"

[Pixiesnix]

From the Star Trek episode.

Fry: I'm literally angry with rage!

Somewhere, somehow, I will use that line in real life.

[Raguleader]

Speaking of Futurama, I found out tonight that Dolomite wasn't just made up for Futurama, although all of the properties ascribed to it on that show were.

Fry angry is hilarious. My favoutire angry Fry moment is "The Why of Fry,"

Nibblonian: They plan to accumulate all knowledge in the universe, and store it in the info-sphere.
Fry: You mean they're trying to learn things?
Nibblonian: Right.
Fry: Those bastards.
Nibbler: Being brains, they feel compelled to know everything, and soon they will.
Fry: I'm as mad as I've ever been!
Nibbler: Once their task is complete, they will ensure no new information arises by the only way possible...destroying the universe.
Fry: Now it's personal.

[Bobotheoptimist]

Ok, work with me here, it's been a while...
Fry and Leela are on the moon and running low on oxygen so they hop into the Apollo lander. I think they were leaving as the camera panned over a plaque that said something like "This lander returned to the moon by the Preserve Historical Continuity in Cartoons Society"

Actually, it was the Historical Sticklers Society.

Right, that's what I said.

[Jayrot]

Call me cocky, but if there's an alien out there I can't kill I haven't met him and killed him yet. But I can't go it alone. That's why I'm ordering every available ship to report for duty. Anyone without a ship should secure a weapon and fire wildly into the air.

[Surbey]

In The Cyber House Rules where Bender is taken care of orphans for the extra money


Bender: Hello? Imperial Dragon Restaurant? I've got a herd of you-know-whats for sale. Let me check. [He picks up Albert.] Oh, aren't you a cutie? [He puts him down and picks up the phone.] About 35lbs.


Smitty: You're under arrest for child cruelty, child endangerment, depriving children of food, selling children as food and misrepresenting the weight of livestock.

I posted this once, and the hamsters ate it.

Has a NEW trailer on it, with a "live action" bender.

1. It is made by Speedbump Studios, a Real company, with a real website.

2.It shows the Comedy Central logo. Comedy, not Cartoon Network will have the rights to air Futurama in 2008.

3.Fox has its legalese in it.

It could be a fake. But, I have to ask, if all of this would be included. Would Speedbump risk their reputation ?

[Meeko]

Apparently there is some fakery to the clip.

However, the company is real. So if we here of Speedbump getting sued ......

[Nic2004]

I can't wait for the new one's to come out! I have to have me some Futurama each and every day!

In the one were Fry eats the truck stop sandwich and has the parasites in his bowel I love the scene were the smaller versions of the other crew members and the Professor are in Fry and the Prof. has a ray gun (not sure of the year and style) and is firing away while doing the old man shuffle. Don't know why this scene cracks me up so.

[Tanbarkie]

From "War is the H-Word"

Nurse: Leave Doctor Zoidberg alone! He has twice the training you do!

Medic Bot: Yeah, he's a doctor AND a butcher! Ahahahaha!

*flips switch from "Irreverent" to "Maudlin"*

Medic Bot: When will the killing end?

And later in the same episode:

Medic Bot: This isn't a war... it's a murder.

*flips switch*

Medic Bot: This ain't a war, it's a moi-dah!

All those sounds from Bender are canned audio. Nothing new. I doubt its real.

The Medic Bot's name, of course, was iHawk.

[cactus waltz]

I think my single biggest laugh from the show was when Bender had Zoidberg star in a dancing contest and then whipped Zoidberg for not being good enough, followed by the line:

"I'm supposed to be weeping!"

It was was an awesome scene.


My overall favorite has to be the 100th cup of coffee though.

[Bernard Marx]

From the episode with the Wizard of Oz parody:

We resemble but are legally distinct from the Lollipop Guild, the Lollipop Guild...

[Jake]

Nixon's head: AROOOOO....
Grab the loot, boys!

[iamthewalrus(:3=]

Fry: t's horrible! Eating scraps; letting my waste drop wherever it falls, like an animal in a zoo!
Leela: Animals go in the corner.
Fry: The corner! Why didn't I think of that?

[Marley23]

From the same episode...

Leela: Fry, if it's obvious to you with your learning disability, then of course it's obvious to me.

Seeing as the legalese features a "©2006 Speedbump Studios" in it, has a copyright notice for the Comedy Central logo, claims the characters are owned by Matt Groening and not 20th Century Fox (the proper owner), and the spot ends with "Don't sue us, hire us, it'll be cheaper. Probably," I think it's clear that this clip is not an actual ad, but was produced by Speedbump Studios freelance as a sample of what they could do to promote the show.

[treis]

The professor:

"Oh how awful, did he at least die painlessly"

"To shreds you say?"

"Well, how's his wife holding up?"

"To shreds you say?"

It's also a reference to Dolemite. You know, "that righteous black mineral that don't cop out when there's heat all about."

[Pushkin]

Another 2 laugh out loud moments on the tube the other day, the penguin rescue episode; Fry and Zoidberg taken off penguin cleaning duty for eating their eggs and Fry's rescue of Bender and Leela sending the persuing penguins straight into a killer whale's mouth

[snailboy]

I don't remember the episode, but they're in a house and see binary writing on the wall in blood.

Bender: "10101101? It's gibberish... [looks in mirror] 10110101?! [gasp]"



Another episode, where they have their own universe in a box. Bender shakes the box and it's like an earthquake happening.

Leela: "Bender, quit trying to destroy the universe!"

One of those times where Futurama practiced it's ability to get bits of loose dust in my eyes. Not many animated shows that can do that.

Yes, that was a poignant moment:

'I will wait for you if it takes forever'.

An English version of a French song from 'Les Parapluies de Cherbourg'. It's sung by Connie Francis, I believe. I have tried for a long time to find that versionj of the song to download but noone, legal or illegal, seems to have it. Perhaps I imagined it.

You imagined nothing. Legal, you say? How does thirteen cents American sound?

Scroll down. It's the first song on the list.

There are discussions around the legality of allofmp3.com, to put it mildly. The wiki page goes into it to quite some depth.

Personally, I don't see there's much difference between buying from that site and just grabbing it off bittorrent. Either way, the people who made the music won't see a penny and you'll be in a bit of a legal limbo. You'll be keeping some russian in sharp suits and gold-plated cellphones, but I don't see that as being worth the $0.13

Thirteen! Never! I'll go as high as seven. Anything else is an insult to my shiny robot heritage. Five! But that's it. Gouger.

(Meantime, thanks for finding that for me).

[Raguleader]

Not sure if this has been mentioned, but I just saw this on TV:

Fry is about to hit the button to launch the garbage ball at the previous garbage ball, but misses the button. "Oops." and then he pushes it.

[Surbey]

I love the one where Hermes is about to drop the box that contains their universe into the sun. He puts it into the airlock and is ready to push the button when the rest of the crew hops out of the box and yells at him to not push the button. He looks at them and then again at the button while we hear him contemplate what to do. I love how it takes a few seconds before he decides to help them in.

Hermes' casual dislike for everyone in the crew is hilarious. From the same episode:

Hermes: Here, Leela, take this gun and use it to shoot those guys.
Leela: Right, if they try to look in the box.
Hermes: *shrug* Whatever.

[Carnick]

I have ridden the mighty moon worm!

Hermes (to Bender): You got horribly mangled, and now you're a rock star! Both our dreams came true!

[bouv]

Hermes contemp for Zoidberk is particularly hilarious.

Leela, whilst blind, takes off before the roof has fully retracted, causing some damage.

Hermes: (pointing to Zoidberg) That's coming out of YOUR pay!

(While trapped under water deciding what to eat.)
Hermes: There are rules for this sort of situation (hold up a book on canabilism code of conduct.) Now, I suggest a nice lobster Zoidberg...I mean, lobster Newberg...I mean, Doctor Zoidberg.

[Surbey]

Hermes does hate Zoidberg SOOO much. It is quite comical in its strength.
