Yes, he did. Al Gore says “I’m a twelfth-level Vice President!” I think it’s even funnier when he’s Emperor of the Moon, though. ---

The Al Gore bits are even funnier when you realize that his daughter is a writer on the show. I don’t know that I can pick a favorite episode. I’ll have to say the star trek one, or the final one with the devil’s hands. Favorite line is easy: “Anything is possible if you can only imagine it, that’s the wonder of being a scientist!” ---

My favorite episode is _The Sting_, which is easily one of the finest half hours of television ever produced. Some favorite lines: **Gary Gygax:** I’m [_rolls dice and studies them_] pleased to meet you. Later . . . **Gore:** Gary, if you don’t _put_ those dice away, I’m going to _take_ them away. And, of course, “All glory to the hypnotoad.” ---

Quotes about that lovable rascal Bender: When he was on the robot world: “Bender’s turned evil…er.” When he tells Leela he wants to become a superhero to fight crime: “When it comes to crime, haven’t you always been more on the supply side?” ---

“You watched it! You can’t _un_-watch it! Stay tuned for more _Tales… Of… Interest!_” “The president is choking on my gas bladder! What an honor!” “No more snoo-snoo! The spirit is willing, but the flesh is spongy and bruised!” I think my favorite is from when Zoidberg was getting into his mating frenzy and showed up in the pool of pregnant women. Zoidberg: _bursts out of the water_ RAAAARRARRRRRGHH! I need to hurry up and get those dvds already. ---

er, somehow hit submit too soon… Zoidberg: _bursts out of the water_ RAAAARRARRRRRGHH! _sound of women screaming, then a splash and a baby crying_ Man: “Is there a doctor in the house??” Zoidberg _scuttles back in_ “I’m a doctor!!” _more screaming and splashing, sound of several babies crying_ ---

This may be a bit off, but Large brain: “Foolish earth creatures…organizing their knowlege by subject…Dewey you fool, you’ve walked right into my trap!” 😃 Later, when Fry outsmarts the brain: Fry: “You’ll be trapped forever in my book, an endless labyrinth of plot holes and bad spelling.” Brain: “And now I wil be leaving…for no _rason_!” * * * _ship crashes through ceiling_ Hermes: _to Zoidberg_ “THAT’S COMING OUTTA YOUR PAY!” Zoidberg: “Wahhhhhh!” :eek: * * * Leela: "You sold your body? But don’t you need it?? Bender: “Ehhh bodies are for hookers and fat people!” * * * Zap Brannigan: “Kiff, I have mated with a woman…inform the men!” ---

“Plus it was mostly Kif’s fault.” The hyperchicken lawyer never fails to cracks me up: “Ah’m sorry, I thought you was corn.” And the fact that the second Christmas (or X-Mas, if you prefer) special had a parental advisory for violence is hysterical in itself. “We are free and fairly sober, with so many toys to build. The machines are kinda tricky, prob’ly someone will be killed…” ---

It’s taking every ounce of my strength not to correct your quotes. 😛 Instead, I’ll just list the poster’s who got their quotes wrong: **Sam Stone Ezekiel25:17** (but just a little) **Legolamb SolGrundy** (although he did say he was paraphrasing.) **Max Torque** (in this case, I will correct it. It’s “Sweet Zombie Jesus!”) **Marley23 Annie-Xmas N9IWP smiling bandit Marley23** (again?!) **Menocchio Podkayne Little Nemo Incubus** If you should doubt my claim to an improper quoting, let me reassure you that not only do I have every episode on DVD, have watched those DVD’s at least twice each, once with commentary, once without (although in the case of seasons 1+2 at least five time each, I would say,) I also watch them every night on Cartoon Network (well, every night they are on) and even have the episodes in…umm…_other_ formats before they were on DVD when I could watch them whenever I wanted…which was a lot. I averaged about 2 eps per day, which translates to watching each episode many times. Favorite episodes: “The Devil’s Hands are Idle Playthings” “Jurrasic Bark” “Roswell that Ends Well” Funniest episodes: “Where no Fan has Gone Before” “Anthology Of Interest I and II” “The Day the Earth Stood Stupid” “The Farnsworth Paradox” Fav. Quotes: (Fry is inside te Infosphere) Fry: What really killed the dinosaurs? Infosphere: ME!!! (Cut to a shot of a gigantic flying brain zapping dinosaurs) (From the Farnsworth Paradox) Zoidberg A: Well, don’t look into it, but I’m an internal medicine doctor with _many_ surviving patients. Ooh, a can! _slurp slurp slurp_ (later from that same episode) Zoidberg A: Can I hold the box, maybe? Zoidberg B/1/Fighting Mongoose: The box…says no. (From “Crimes of the Hot”, Bender is on the island, trying to pump a keg) Bender: What the? Lousy keg, it’s already tapped! Oh, I’m sorry, you’re a robot. Keg Robot: (in a deep, male voice) Don’t stop. Bender: Eww! ---

Ooh, remembered another great one: Bender: “Fine, I’ll just go make my own casino! With blackjack! and hookers! On second thought, forget the blackjack. And the casino.” ---

> [@bouv](#): > > It’s taking every ounce of my strength not to correct your quotes. 😛 And even that considerable strength isn’t enough to rein in some pretty powerful obnoxiousness. Ah well. I do see that you’re right about some of the quotes. Bender: “Young people use curse words.” Fry: “Damn it!” [I’m not sure how the rest of it goes.] “Ladies and gentlemen, something very strange has just occurred, in this basketball match between space clowns and atomic monsters.” And it’s tenth-level Vice President. Thank goodness the Universe (the parallel _non_-cowboy one, anyway) is safe again. ---

Probably misquoting, but: Lrrr: These Stupid Age TV shows confuse me. Why doesn’t Ross, the largest “friend,” simply eat the other five? Ndnd: It’s true what they say- men are from Omnicron Persei 7, women are from Omnicron Persei 9. ---

Time Keeps on Slipping is probably my favourite episode. There is the aformentioned quote **Marley23** mentioned and several others. Leela: We’re back from the Chronoton nebula. Professor: And none too soon. The Globetrotters just held a press conference to announce that I am a jive sucka. Fry: Put me in professor. I want to show Leela my skills. Professor? Can said skills pay the bills? ---

Just a quote Bender (guzzling down a brewski): “Ah! That hit the spot.” Fry: “Why would a robot need to drink?” Bender (angrily): “Look buddy! I don’t NEED to drink! I can quit anytime I want to.” First ep, I do believe. ---

My favorite lines Robot Greeting Card: Come Bender, let us take to the streets Bender: Is this the boring kind of taking to the streets, with demonstrations and such? RGC: No! Its the fun kind, with looting, and maybe starting a few fires! Bender: Alright! I’m in! ---

I think Bender’s answer there is “Yes! In your face, Gandhi!” Which is even better. 🙂 **NCB** , that IS from the first episode. You can tell because they hadn’t decided robots needed alcohol to function yet.
