I would have to say that one of my favorite moments, and basically my favorite episode, is when Bender is playing god. In that episode, Bender is sleeping in a torpedo tube. They accidentally fire him, while going full speed, at some pirates. Upon learning that this was their friend and not a missle, they attempt to chase after him but to no avail.
Lela: “We can’t catch him. We were going full speed when we shot him so he’s going faster than that”
Fry:“So we can never catch him? Even if we rub the engine with Cheeta blood?!”
Hehehehe, alwasy tickles me up
Fry has just met Gary Gygax, the inventor on Dungeons and Dragons. Gygax says “Hello, I’m…” and then pulls out soem dice, rolls them, inspects the result, and continues, “…pleased to meet you!”
The end of the episode about Fry’s dog. My room mate and I watched that episode, and after the credits rolled, there was just this silent moment, followed by my room mate saying “Man, that was kinda depressing.”
One of those times where Futurama practiced it’s ability to get bits of loose dust in my eyes. Not many animated shows that can do that.
from Fear of a Bot Planet;
Bender has just concluded his “Death to Humans” speech, the Mayor of Chapek 9 rolls up to the podium and announces “Let the Hunt Begin!”, the robot trumpeters raise their trumpets to their lips and play a Macintosh startup chime (a Quadra series chime IIRC…)
from The Problem with Popplers;
<Lrrr> I think there was something funny in that hippie… People of Earth, I’ve learned something today, i’ve learned that…whoa, dude, my hands are HUGE!…and they can touch anything but themselves…oh…
from Where No Fan Has Gone Before
<Walter Koenig> When we woke up, we had these bodies…
<Fry> Say it in Russian!
<WK>(sighs, flat and lifeless) ven ve voke up ve had zeez…wodies…
<F>(Happily and enthusiastically)EEEEEEEE!, now say “nuclear wessels”
<WK>NO!!
“Death by snoo-snoo!” That scene had me laughing so hard, tears were coming out of my eyes. “I’d always imagined … well, hoped … it would end this way.”
