I’m a big fan of Nibbler and the Nibblonians, so two of my ultra-favorites are _The Day the Earth Stood Stupid_ and _The Why of Fry_. But _Mother’s Day_, _The Problem with Popplers_, _The Sting_, _Parasites Lost_, _Roswell That Ends Well_, _Devil’s Hands Are Idle Paythings_ and _Why Must I Be a Crustacean in Love_ are up there as well. Count me as a Zoidberg supporter too. Ugh, even writing such a list but not including _The Deep South_, _Love’s Labours Lost in Space_, _Fry and the Slurm Factory_, _How Hermes Requisitioned His Groove Back_, _Amazon Women in the Mood_, _Godfellas_, _Where No Fan Has Gone Before_ and _The Farnsworth Parabox_ feels oh so wrong. I’m omitting _Luck of the Fryrish_ because of the OP (and to be honest I’m not sure it’d go above any of the ones I’ve just listed), and _Jurassic Bark_ is the only episode I’ve never seen – a purposeful omission. From all I’ve heard I don’t think I want to see it. Least favorites: _The Honking_, _Bender Should Not Be Allowed on TV_ and _A Taste of Freedom_ are probably right up there, but I think the winner is _A Pharaoh to Remember_. I really disliked that for some reason I (ironically, considering the title) don’t remember. ---

maybe it’s because it’s 20 minutes of Bender screaming REMEMBER ME??? ---

I like the episode with the Beastie Boys: Fry: Wow. I love you guys. Back in the 20th century, I had all five of your albums. Ad-Rock: That was a thousand years ago. Now we got seven.

I don’t get the hate for A Pharaoh to Remember. It was one of my top 3 favorite episodes until some of the fantastic ones that came along after it. It’s still a better than average episode, IMO. One that I [del]don’t think has been[/del] see has alread been mentioned and is very underrated IMO is Three Hundred Big Boys. It’s not a “deep” episode and not a particularly drop dead funny episode, but I find it to be “fun” for some reason. It’s one of my favorites. All the best episodes, though, and the best movie, focus on Fry & Leela’s relationship. I wish that would’ve been a bigger part of Beast with a Billion Backs and Bender’s Game. I’m holding out hope that the next one will blow me away. ---

I’m surprised at those who don’t care for _Why Must I Be a Crustacean in Love_. It has one of my favorite lines from the whole series: Amy: “Fool me seven times, shame on you. Fool me eight or more times, shame on me.” ---

I’m this moment watching the “Splash” underwater episode (don’t know the title) with the fishing expedition at the start and the lost city of Atlanta, and it’s hilarious. “We have those above water, too. We call them “land-sea-lions.” And I tame them.” “Ancient Atlanta was more than just a Delta hub. . .” ---

Fool me eight or more times, shame on me.” That line just isn’t funny to me - it sounds like a throwaway early Simpsons line that would’ve gotten a chuckle in 1993. But the reason I don’t like that ep is that it just grosses me out for some reason. The whole space lobster mating motif is just ICK. I think it’s the only episode I haven’t seen more than once. ---

Oh man there are so many for so many reasons… Godfellas: The best of the heartwarming episodes, also a great message too and PERFECT delivery of that message _Bender-"You can’t count on God for jack! He basically told me so, if anyone is going to save those monks it’s gotta be us…let’s go!_ _God- Heh heh heh_ Thats brilliant Although my favorite line in all of Futurama comes from Bender in whatever the superhero episode was called \*Leela- But my parents are going to be at the museum at nine! Bender- Nine…ten…a big fat hen (puffs cigar) the name’s Bender\* ---

“ooh…if anyone needs me, I’ll be in the Angry Dome!” I love the idea of having a little domed area where one goes just to be angry. Seeing the Professor in there waving his arms and pacing around angrily as they took off killed me.
