Not quite a proper game play (nor was yours, I\_G, but I applaud your doing it) –

#10, Fry and Leela are disguised as robots on the Robot Planet and must pass a test to prove they’re robots:

Robot: WHICH DO YOU PREFER, A LARGE PROPERLY FORMATTED DATA FILE, A PUPPY, OR A PRETTY FLOWER FOR YOUR SWEETIE?

Leela: “Is it a mechanical puppy?”

Robot: NO, IT IS THE BAD KIND OF PUPPY.

Leela: “We’ll take that data thingy then.”

Robot: CORRECT. THE FLOWER WOULD ALSO HAVE BEEN ACCEPTABLE.

(Oh, and: pass.)
