IIRC (I have no cable, and no dvd player) Bender pulls the string on one of the Bart dolls. The mechanism still works and Bart says “Eat my shorts!”. Bender peels off the doll’s shorts, eats them and says “Mmmmm, shorts.”
The comic book is far and away the best meeting of the two. The conversations between Professors Frink and Farnsworth are fascinating. Oh my, yes.

What two classic Dungeons&Dragons monsters have appeared in the show, and in what episodes?
I will definitely be looking for that.
Thank god somebody asked about whether Nibbler’s shadow was there the very first time. I have wanted to ask that forever but I was afraid of the geek wrathicule it would draw. And I knew that the only answer I would ever believe was ‘no’. Which is still true. But that’s just because I never believe anything. I thought that Homer shot Mr. Burns even AFTER they aired part two.
You know what? I was actually hoping someone would ask me this jsut so I can answer it.
The rust monster appeared in the vet’s office in “I Second That Emotion,” and a beholder is seen in the dungeons of the Central Beurocracy in “How Hermes Requisitioned His Groove Back.”
“Please don’t tell my supervisor I was sleeping!”
Unlike the other posters I haven’t seen all the episodes of Futurama, so out of personal interest: Is there ever a happy end for Leela and Fry? The closest they got is in that episode when Fry was upgraded by the worm colony in his stomach, right?
Major spoilers of some episodes given below, only read if you don’t mind having a few episodes ruined for you.
The last season gives us a few happy endings, one of them very happy. In “The Why of Fry,” Leela discovers the guy she is dating is a jerk, and Fry comes in at the right moment with a flower, and she gives him a kiss. In “The Sting,” Fry dies and Leela keeps dreaming about him. We discover she was in a coma and Fry never left her side, and they have a nice hug. In “The Farnsworth Paradox,” Fry and Leela go to an alternate universe where they are married. This prompts Leela at the end of the ep. to finally go on a date with Fry. And, finally, in “The Devil’s Hands are Idle Playthings,” Fry composes a holophoner opera to win Leela’s heart using the robot devil’s hands. In the end, he gets his hands back and can’t play very well anymore, so everyone leaves the opera cause it now stinks, but Leela stays and tells Fry that she wants to see how it ends. It ends with the two of them holding hands walking off into the sunset (the opera does, not the ep…well, I guess the ep. does to, but it’s just the holographic them, not the real them.) That was also the last ep. of the series, implying the Leela has finally found feelnigs for Fry.
It goes something like, but slightly different from, this . . .
Thanks a bunch, I’m just a sucker for happy endings and it pleases me when my favourite fictional (and non-fictional for that matter, it just doesn’t happen too often in real life. Oh and Bender was my favourite on the show, but those are just minor technicalities.) characters are headed towards one.
Bouv It’s wonderful to share those moments with somebody who can derive as much geek joy from them as I can.
Optihut There are other hints that Fry and Leela would end up together. In one of the Anthology Of Interest episodes, we see what life would be like if Leela were a bit more daring. She wears boots with a stripe, and kills all the other Planet Express employees except for Fry. She keeps him quiet by bribing him with sex.
In the Harlem Globetrotters episode, the professor uses chronaton particles to accelerate the growth of his atomic supermen. Good news, everybody! He damages the very fabric of space time. Time keeps jumping forwarding, leaving things changed but nobody has any memories of what happened. One jump results in Fry and Leela finding themselves married. Fry can’t figure out what he did to get Leela to marry him. He discovers that he had used the ship to rearrange stars to spell out “I love you Leela”. The repair of the universe destroys the message before Leela can see it.
When an accident turns the crew into teenagers, Leela decides to live with her parents and experience the normal youth she never had. This includes going on a date with Fry.

How many episodes have teasers (scenes before the title sequence)?
Which ones are they?
Is the teaser relevant to the episode at large?
-DF (Who doesn’t know the answer but can find out but is too lazy to do so right now… 
)
What does the alien language legal warning on the 3rd Season DVD say?
Dancer_Flight
I can’t reacall ther number, but it was just the first few episodes in season 1. And, aside from the pilot, they almostnever had anything to do with the episode. Oh, and they are called “cold openings,” by the way. Of course, you might also be counting the eps. that have little ‘future ads’ in the beginning. In that case, there are a few more. The ads are:
Molton Boron (Nobody does it like Molton Boron!)
Glagnar’s Human Rinds (Buncha Muncha Cruncha Human!)
Arachno-Spores (The deadly spores, with the funny name!)
Thompson’s Teeth (The only teeth strong enough to eat other teeth!)
I don’t know, because I am too poor to buy the third season DVD. In a couple weeks when my first paycheck from my new job arrives, I can buy it.
Venturing a guess, I’d say it says the same thing as the legal disclaimer in English. Just that it’s written in Alien language, instead of English 
I regarded that question as a variant of “What is the name of the actor Ben Stiller?”
Actually, only the cowboy universe is parallel. The rest are perpendicular.
I’m not sure if you’re just being cute or actually contradicting me, but I just reviewed the episode in question (let’s just say I have a tape of it…) and Farnsworth B, upon first discovery of the box w/ universe A inside, says, and I quote,
“It contains a parallel universe.”
(bolding mine…though I suppose it could have been bolded in the script, it’s hard to tell.)
“And when you creat a paralled universe, it’s almost always populated by evil twins!”
.
.
.
“They’re not evil! But don’t be confused…they ARE jerks.”
Ah, damn, I thought I had a good trick question. I was basing it on a remark in the commentary for the episode with the cowboy universe. The exchange went something like “don’t we contradict that in later episodes?”
“Uh … those were perpendicular!”
Damn you, David X. Cohen!
What is Dr. Zoidberg’s first name?
John. If you’re asking first names, the trickier question is what Leela’s first name is.
