Bender: “Hey Fry what’s that black cracker?”  
Fry: “A tomato.”

From the episode where they travel back in time and they are sitting in the diner.

Fry: If my grandfather died, then why I am still here.

The opera scene with the Robot Devil and the hands

The scene where Santa is about to kill everyone naughty, except Zoidberg: “You’ve all been very naughty, except you Dr. Zoidberg, here, this is for you!” (hands over a pogo stick). Zoidberg: Hurray!

Zoidberg is probably my favorite character on the show.

So many good Futurama lines… Ones that immediately spring to mind:

(Bender and Fry are sitting on the couch watching TV)  
Leela: “Ugh, look at you guys. No offense Fry, but you’ve become a fat sack of crap.”  
Fry: (irritably) “Sack?!”

The “no offense, Fry” preface kills me every time. Oh, and I just watched the second “What if?” episode. Best line ever:

Bender: “Ooh, I want to know what if I was human. I mean, it’s great being a robot and all, but we don’t have emotions, and sometimes that makes me very sad.”  
Professor Farnsworth: “Oh, lordy loo, there he goes again. (sarcastically) Fine, let’s give baby what he wants.”

The way Bender’s voice just drips with sorrow when he talks about how sad he is that he doesn’t have emotions cracks me up.

While there are probably several hundred quote that’d fall into this category for me, the first few that come to mind:

> [@](#):
>
> **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.

> [@](#):
>
> **Zapp:** If we hit that bullseye, the rest of the dominos will fall like a house of cards. Checkmate.

and of course, my sig line:

Zapp Brannigan’s best pickup lines:

“If I told you you had a beautiful body, would you take off your pants and dance around a little?”

“I find the most erotic part of a woman to be the boobies.”

I forget the episode, but somebody comes in, says something, and Bender says, “Interesting! No, wait, the other thing.”

I use that all the time around the office. Nobody gets it.

“Oh…in that case, is there a burn ward within ten feet of here?”

Yeah, I’m watching a really good episode now. Remember the one where Leela finds out her parents are mutants? Well, they are allowed to leave the sewer and they take some baloon up to the top of a hugely cavernous roof to a ladder that goes down about 10 feet from a manhole cover in the roof. Bender goes up and then fry. Leela pauses for a second to look at the mysetrious strangers that had saved them.  
FRY  
Come on Leela. You can do it!

```
                                 BENDER
                      Hurry! We're missing our bus!

           
           [Leela climbs the ladder but looks back down again at the mysterious 
           hooded figures. She closes the manhole.]

           
                                 FRY
                      Whoa! What are you doing?

           
                                 BENDER
                      I'm gettin' on the bus!

```

I just crack up so hard every time I hear it.

Futurama is so damn good. The characters in the program are so highly developed and explored. I mean how the hell did they get Bender to be so lovable yet so self-centered! It’s so great! I love the “Hell is other Robots” episode where at the end they have a photo montage of Robaunika, a holiday that Bender made up to not work. Obivously Fry and Leela celebrate it because they want him to be happy again and there’s one picture where it shows bender throttling Fry and trying to cut him with a broken bottle with the other hand, then the NEXT picture shows all three of them with their arms around each others shoulder and fry with two bandages on his neck!

On the audio commentary they said something like, “You know, you know you’ve got a great character when he can try to kill another character and still remain likeable”

By the way, to all serious fans of the show, SERIOUSLY buy the DVDs if only to listen to the commentary. They are really top notch. Every episode has a commentary and a few have two different ones. And they have a large group commentating. You’ll learn loads of great trivia and hear funny commentary by Billy West, and Maurice LaMarche, who does an EXCELLENT Shatner a few times, “YOU say sabotage, I say sabotash” Also, although the show is saved and in production again, it’s not a bad idea to support it this way.

More Quotes!

When they go to the Love INC building where they make those chalky candy hearts with the saying. The two owners (a long-time couple) come in and get all gooey.

Leela: Oh, you have GOT to be kidding!  
Professor shocks her with a cattle prod  
Leela: Ooooh, that’s SO SWEET  
Professer shocks her again  
Leela: OH that’s SCHO SCHWEET!

Lrrr: No, it says “wuv” With an earth W  
This concept of “wuv” confususes and infuriates us!

“Is heaven missing an angel? Cuz you’ve got NICE CANS!”  
“My two favorite things are commitment, and changing myself”

Oh god, there is a great quote every second!

Farnsworth, “With that big new Romanticorp contract, I’ve been able to make those government-mandated improvements you’ve all been suing me about!”

[QUOTE=Arien]  
From an episode of the Scary Door: Why should I believe you? You’re Hitler!  
Bender: Saw it coming.  
[/QUOTE]  
_That’s_ what I was trying to remember: one of The Scary Door openings. My favorite:

Announcer: You’re on a scenic route through a state recreational area known as the human mind. You ask a passerby for directions, only to find he has no face or something. Suddenly up ahead, a door in the road. You swerve, narrowly avoiding The Scary Door.

And also:

Announcer: You’re entering a realm which is unusual. Maybe it’s magic, or contains some kind of monster… The second one. Prepare to enter the Scary Door.  
Announcer: You are entering the vicinity of an area adjacent to a location. The kind of place where there might be a monster, or some kind of weird mirror. These are just examples; it could also be something much better. Prepare to enter: The Scary Door.
