I am going to cheat and not use a quote, but one of my all-time favorite _Futurama_ moments is from the episode “Amazon Women in the Mood” when they tell Zap, Fry and Kiff they are sentenced to death “by Snu-Snu” which is of course sex…with htese giant women…whch wil be painful…annd sex. The expressions on Fry and Zapp’s faces as they alternate between horror and excitement is gut-bustingly funny.

Bender: Many said I was too extreme when I first called for the annihilation of the human species, as well as some of the more cunning monkeys, but after living on Earth, I can tell you that I am, if anything, too merciful!

Fry: Remember, Scooty Puff Junior suuuucccckkkkssss.  
Nibbler: In a thousand years, I’ll get right on it.

From “The Lesser of Two Evils,” which introduced Bender’s “evil” twin Flexo:

\*\*\*Flexo: \*\*\*Hey Fry… think fast!  
_\<blows cloud of green gas in Fry’s face; Fry sputters and coughs\>_  
\*\*\*Flexo: \*\*\* Get it? It’s chlorine!  
\*\*\*Zoidberg: \*\*\*Hahahaha! It’s funny because it’s _ **poisonous** _!

And from the same episode—Bender, Flexo, and Fry in a robot strip club called “Electric Ladyland,” watching a huge fembot on-stage:

_ **Bender:** _ Hubba hubba, she is built! … in Mexico, I believe.  
_ **Flexo:** _ And that ain’t silicon! It’s tungsten, and plenty of it!  
_ **Fry:** _ Uh, yeah. Look at that… exhaust fan!  
_\<both robots react with “eeeww!!”\>_  
_ **Bender:** _ Pervert!

_Fry and Bender enter room, see 110110101 written in blood on the wall._  
Fry: Bender, what does that mean?  
Bender: Nothing. It’s gibberish.

There are too many for me to know where to start, but there was a [Scary Door](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Scary_Door) episode where a man is alone after an apocolypse; he finds a library but then he breaks his glasses. He finds large print books, but his eyes fall out. Then he finds the Braille editions, but his hands fall off and he falls completely apart.

Bender: “Cursed by his own hubris.”

Fry approaches an old cheap fortune telling robot. I forget exactly how the exchange goes, but here’s the gist:

Fortune Teller: Have you heard of the God-searching monks of Tibet?

Fry: (as if being helpful) I’ve…_not_ heard of them…

“Kif! I have made it with a woman. Inform the men.”

**Linda:** In what has become a winter tradition, members of the Zarlon 7 “Polar Bear Club” today took the plunge into a river of liquid ammonia.  
**Morbo:** There were no survivors.

“Once again, today’s winning Lotto number was 4.”

“In lighter news, the city of New New York is doomed. Blame rests with known human Professor Hubert Farnsworth and his tiny, inferior brain.”

“And I’m his friend Jesus!”

“Would you like some _human_ with your _salt_?”

Leela: “Burn on the old crew! The only things they did better than us were suck and die!”

Morbo: “…And that’s why the third graders of PS139 are Morbo’s ‘Vermin of the Week’”

Bender: “Gee whiz, Santa. You want me to help you?”  
Fry: “Don’t do it! He’s evil!”  
Robot Santa: “I know he is, but I have no choice.”  
The fact that Fry is talking to Bender, but Robot Santa answers is hilarious.

Fry: “Drugs are for losers, and hypnosis is for losers with big, weird eyebrows!”

Probably the best Futurama quote ever:  
“You watched it, you can’t _unwatch_ it!”

[/QUOTE]

From the same episode:

Bender: You’re no femputer! You’re a fembot!  
Fembot: It’s true. I disguised myself as a femputer so I could rule the Amazonians.  
Bender: But why?  
Fembot: Why? Why? I came here from a faraway planet. A planet ruled by a chauvinistic manputer- that was really a manbot. Have you any idea how it feels to be a fembot living in a manbot’s manputer’s world?  
Bender: What?

Half the fun is in the way Bender says “What?” It’s perfectly pitched between “I don’t understand” and “I don’t care.”

My favorite quote (the quantum finish) was already hit (twice).

So I’ll go with one from “Fear of a Bot Planet”:

_Guard Robot #1: Administer the test.  
Guard Robot #2: Which of the following would you most prefer? A: A puppy, B: A pretty flower from your sweetie, or C: A large properly formatted data file?  
Guard Robot #1: Choose!  
Fry: Is the puppy mechanical in any way?  
Guard Robot #2: No. It is the bad kind of puppy.  
Leela: Then we’ll go with that data file.  
Guard Robot #2: Correct.  
Guard Robot #1: The flower would also have been acceptable._
