Haven’t had one of these in a while (or atleast I didn’t see it when I quickly searched the SDMB) so I thought it might be a little fun.  
“If we can hit that bullseye, the rest of the dominoes will fall like a house of cards. Checkmate!”

What do you have?

Since this has been done before, I won’t be too offended if this thread gets closed. Although, you should feel really bad if your the Administrator doing it…

I don’t think I go a day without saying _at least_ one Futurama quote. That number is closer to twenty on days I work with the other Futurama freak at work.

“Ahhh, to be young again…and also a robot.”

“Full price for gum? That dog won’t hunt, mon signor!”

Lrrr: These candies are chalky and unpleasant!  
Nd-Nd: And what is this emotion you humans call ‘wuv’?  
Lrrr: Surely it says ‘love’?  
Nd-Nd: No, ‘wuv’, with an Earth ‘W’. Behold!  
Lrrr: This concept of ‘wuv’ confuses and infuriates us!!

Just from that episode, soo great!

## Soldier: This is the worst part. The calm before the battle. Fry: And then the battle’s not so bad? Soldier: Oh right. I forgot about the battle.

FRY: Uh, just so we’ll know, who’s the enemy?

ZAPP: A valid question. We know nothing about their language, their history or what they look like. But we can assume this: They stand for everything we don’t stand for. Also, they told me you guys look like dorks.

BENDER: They look like dorks!

* * *

Prof.: Now be careful, Fry. And if you kill anyone, make sure to eat their heart,  
to gain their courage. Their rich, tasty courage.

This one is my favorite to misquote because I’ve studied both Futuramalogy AND Futuramanomy.

Exist? But that’s basically all I do!!

Hot Crackers - I take exception to that!!

Once, when I took those hostages…

With my dying breath, I curse Zoidberg…

FRY: We need to dig up his grave.

Everyone looks at Bender.

We’re rewatching the series after a long absence. Yet, some of the early stuff has stuck with us:

Bender (dreaming): Kill all humans . . .  
(and later): Heeey baby . . . wanna kill all humans?

Leela: Hold still! I don’t have very good depth perception!

Bender, on being ordered to kill Fry and Leela: Uh, I’m kind of tired now, is it OK if I just give them a savage beating?

And of course, all announcements are preceded by, “Good news, everyone!”

“Oh, a lesson in not changing history from Mr. I’m My Own Grandfather! Screw history, we’re getting out of here!”

And anything said by Dr. Zoidberg is an instant classic. “Help! Friends! A guinea pig tricked me!”

I can’t recall the context, but when Zoidberg says “They’re hideous. BLAAARGHHH!” while waving his claws around, cracks me up every time.

Gotta love Mom and her semi-random cursing. “Jam a bastard in it, you crap!” “Jerkwad robots make me sick to my ass!” “You driveling pukes!”

My favorite one-shot character, though, is Old Man Waterfall, Zoidberg’s lawyer for his flag-eating case.

OMW: “That’s right, I’m a polygamist.”  
Audience: “BOOOOO!”  
OMW: “Yet I would gladly eat a flag myself, had I not used my intestine as a rope to hoist a flag made of my own skin. If it would protect the freedoms of the proud people who salute that flag!”  
Audience: “YAY!!”  
OMW: “Freedoms such as polygamy.”  
Audience: “BOOOOO!”

Chief Justice: “In a rare, double-whammy decision, we find polygamy constitutional.”  
Audience: “BOOO!”  
OMW: “I can’t wait to tell my husband!”  
Audience: **"BOOOOOOOO!"**

And of course:  
Zoidberg: “He defended my freedom when no one else would. He was a good and honorable man.”  
OMW: “I request a Satanic funeral.”  
Crowd: **"BOOOOOOOOOOO!"**
