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 and you? ---

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!” ---

Just one more Bender: Ah, computer dating! It’s just like pimping, only you don’t have to use the phrase “Upside your head.” ---

I always crack up during The Devil’s Song in the episode “Hell is other Robots”, especially Fry’s line “My ass has blisters from the ride!” ---

I love Niblers line in the exchange below, from one of the times when Fry goes back to the year 2000. Fry: But, I knew you in the future. I cleaned your poop. Nibler: Quite possible, we live long and are celebrated poopers. ---

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. ---

there’s too many to choose from… 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** ; \ 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** \ When we woke up, we had these bodies… \ Say it in Russian! \(sighs, flat and lifeless) ven ve voke up ve had zeez…wodies… \(Happily and enthusiastically)EEEEEEEE!, now say “nuclear wessels” \NO!! ---

Paraphrasing here. Fry: We’re all weird, and that’s what makes us great. Like Dr. Zoidberg. He’s a weird crab doctor who smells like he eats garbage, and does. Zoidberg: Damn right! Fry: Or the professor, a senile, amoral crackpot. Professor: Ohweeoooh… Fry: Or Hermes, a rastafarian accountant. Hermes: Tally me banana! Fry: Or Amy, a klutz from Mars. Amy: (spills wine) Sploops! Professor: And then there’s Fry’s brain condition. Fry: I already did! A great sequence. ---

[This scene](http://www.gotfuturama.com/cgi-bin/imageview.cgi?/Multimedia/FrameGrabs/2ACV12/Grabs/pic00291.jpg), from “The Deep South”. In particular, the Professor’s utterance of “Oh _my_!” just cracks me up. ---

{paraphrased} Fry is trying to sleep next to Bender. Bender is dreaming, and talking in his sleep. Bender: KILL ALL HUMANS! KILL ALL HUMANS! Fry: Bender, wake up! Bender: Oh, what a lovely dream I was having. And you were in it, Fry! Fry: Well, go back to sleep! Bender falls asleep again. Bender: Hey, sexy mama, wanna… KILL ALL HUMANS? ---
