Head Bureaucrat: “You are technically correct. The best _kind_ of correct.”

Bender: “Bang, bang, bang… you got it all figured out, Cymbal-Playing Monkey.” (I say that one to my baby on a regular basis)

Leela: “Like a prom dress made of carpet remnants…”  
Nibbolian: “Yes! Like your prom dress!”

I’ve never watched Futurama (or TV in general, lately), but these quotes are giving me the feeling that Bender has a relative named Marvin.

SWEET ZOMBIE JESUS!!!

Too bad I was beaten to my favorite Zapp Brannigan line: “If we can hit that bullseye, the rest of the dominoes will fall like a house of cards. Checkmate!” I’ll have to supply my Brannigan backup: “We’re defenseless, like fish in a barrel! … My instinct is: to hide in this barrel, like the wily fish.”

And speaking of the Globetrotters:

Leela: …now ALL the planets are going to start cracking wise about our mamas!  
Hermes: Oh, I’m just glad my fat, ugly mama isn’t alive to see this day.  
Prof. Farnsworth: Enough about your promiscuous mother, Hermes! We have bigger problems!

The line that’s most thoroughly infiltrated my lexicon is the Professor’s “I don’t want to live on this planet anymore.” Suitable for all moments of disappointment, deflation, irritation, or outright disgust!

By the same token:

Farnsworth: “While you were gone the Trotters held a news conference to announce that I was a ‘jive sucka’.”

Not at all. Bender drinks, smokes, gambles, cheats at cards, romances lady robots, often steals, and likes to have a good time in general. He often exhibits a maniacal personality. If anything, people get paranoid of _him_. Bender is larger than life.
