[QUOTE=pilot141] And the follow-on to that is when they change the bomb to explode with the word that Bender says the least. Of course Bender starts going through (un)likely words. My favorite: Antiquing? [/QUOTE] What WAS the last word Bender said before the bomb went off? I couldn’t ever hear it clearly. Was it Antiquing? ---

[QUOTE=Jake] What WAS the last word Bender said before the bomb went off? I couldn’t ever hear it clearly. Was it Antiquing? [/QUOTE] Yes, the word was “antiquing.” I was looking at Wikipedia, and they say the first new DVD, “Bender’s Big Score,” is supposed to have Seymour returning. I hope they finally go ahead and clone him. They owe us, dammit. ---

I pulled out the season one DVDs and watched a couple episodes again last night. Even after seeing _Love’s Labours Lost in Space_ many times over the years, it still has my laughing out loud in a number of scenes. > [@](#): > > **Fry:** I betcha Leela’s holding out for a nice guy with one eye. > **Bender:** That’ll take forever. What she oughta do is find a nice guy with two eyes and poke one out. > **Fry:** Yeah, that’d be a timesaver. > **Leela:** Do you mind? > **Bender:** Here you go. [He pulls out a fork.] You can use this as an eye-poker. > **Leela:** Thank you. But I don’t care how many eyes a man has … as long as it’s less than five. > [@](#): > > **Kif:** Shall I fire on them now, sir? > **Zapp:** Not yet, Kif. In the game of chess, you can never let your adversary see your pieces. Which reminds me of this one from another Zapp episode: > [@](#): > > **Zapp:** If we hit that bullseye, the rest of the dominos will fall like a house of cards. Checkmate. ---

My signature Bender stopped drinking, which made him innebriated. Leila told him to start drinking again “if not for yourself, for the people who love you” ---

I’ve been afraid to contribute, because there’s so many lines, so many scenes. Then I remembered this one … Can’t remember which ep., but the crew is walking through a gym where people are working out on weight machines, and this one woman is really working it. You can see multiple slabs of metal going up and down, up and down. The sign at the top of the machine reads: “kegelizer” My wife and I broke out laughing and I dam near fell off the couch. We had to stop the DVD until we calmed down enough. ---

[QUOTE=JacksonRoykirk] From “War Is The H-Word,” Bender’s top 10 most frequently uttered words: ``` 10. “Chump” 9. “Chumpette” 8. “Yours” 7. “Up” 6. “Pimpmobile” 5. “Bite” 4. “My” 3. “Shiny” 2. “Daffodil” 1. “Ass” ``` Each one of those words was uttered by Bender at least once in the episode. [/QUOTE] Of course, there’s an irony-gag in there too, based on the progession of numbers 5, 4, and 3. The first time _War is the H-Word_ aired on Fox, the ending was pre-empted by a news break of Florida state secretary Katherine Harris announcing the results of the contested 2000 election. A person on Usenet has the sig line “Watch out! If Bender says 'ass,” Katherine Harris will appear!" It’s a funny line in itself, but I didn’t know what it meant when I first read it. When I saw the episode for the second time, I recalled Harris’s announcement aired immediately after Bender said “ass” and feared he was going to blow up. And I laughed out loud linking it to the sig line. ---

[QUOTE=Pixiesnix] Fry: I’m literally angry with rage! [/QUOTE] Fry angry is hilarious. My favoutire angry Fry moment is “The Why of Fry,” Nibblonian: They plan to accumulate all knowledge in the universe, and store it in the info-sphere. Fry: You mean they’re trying to learn things? Nibblonian: Right. Fry: Those _bastards._ Nibbler: Being brains, they feel compelled to know everything, and soon they will. Fry: I’m as mad as I’ve ever been! Nibbler: Once their task is complete, they will ensure no new information arises by the only way possible…destroying the universe. Fry: Now it’s personal. ---

Ok, work with me here, it’s been a while… Fry and Leela are on the moon and running low on oxygen so they hop into the Apollo lander. I think they were leaving as the camera panned over a plaque that said something like “This lander returned to the moon by the Preserve Historical Continuity in Cartoons Society” ---

Call me cocky, but if there’s an alien out there I can’t kill I haven’t met him and killed him yet. But I can’t go it alone. That’s why I’m ordering every available ship to report for duty. Anyone without a ship should secure a weapon and fire wildly into the air. * * * Brain-ball: The elders tell of a young ball much like you. He bounced three meters in the air, then he bounced 1.8 meters in the air. Then he bounced 4 meters in the air. Do I make myself clear? Henry Kissinger: Mr. Ambassador, our people tell the same story * * * Brilliant writing. ---

In **The Cyber House Rules** where Bender is taken care of orphans for the extra money Bender: Hello? Imperial Dragon Restaurant? I’ve got a herd of you-know-whats for sale. Let me check. [He picks up Albert.] Oh, aren’t you a cutie? [He puts him down and picks up the phone.] About 35lbs. Smitty: You’re under arrest for child cruelty, child endangerment, depriving children of food, selling children as food and misrepresenting the weight of livestock. ---

## I posted this once, and the hamsters ate it. ![](https://img.youtube.com/vi/yoYci_rT-6o/maxresdefault.jpg)https://www.youtube.com/embed/yoYci_rT-6o?feature=oembed&wmode=opaque Has a NEW trailer on it, with a “live action” bender. 1. It is made by Speedbump Studios, a Real company, with a real website. 2.It shows the Comedy Central logo. Comedy, not Cartoon Network will have the rights to air Futurama in 2008. 3.Fox has its legalese in it. It could be a fake. But, I have to ask, if all of this would be included. Would Speedbump risk their reputation ? ---

I can’t wait for the new one’s to come out! I have to have me some Futurama each and every day! In the one were Fry eats the truck stop sandwich and has the parasites in his bowel I love the scene were the smaller versions of the other crew members and the Professor are in Fry and the Prof. has a ray gun (not sure of the year and style) and is firing away while doing the old man shuffle. Don’t know why this scene cracks me up so. ---

From **"War is the H-Word"** Nurse: Leave Doctor Zoidberg alone! He has twice the training you do! Medic Bot: Yeah, he’s a doctor AND a butcher! Ahahahaha! _flips switch from “Irreverent” to “Maudlin”_ Medic Bot: When will the killing end? And later in the same episode: Medic Bot: This isn’t a war… it’s a murder. _flips switch_ Medic Bot: This ain’t a war, it’s a moi-dah!
