[QUOTE=Captain Amazing] 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!” [/QUOTE] My first Favorite Futurama Moment was from that episode. **Leela** : Who’d have thought hell would really exist, and that it would be in New Jersey? **Fry** : Actually- _trap door opens_ [QUOTE=Evil Captor] “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.” [/QUOTE] The sequence of facial expressions Fry, Zapp and Kif go through later in that scene are just amazing. ---

Truman “If you’ve come in peace, then surrender. If you’ve come to conquer us and bring war, we surrender” Zoidberg" Well both are good. The important thing is I’m meeting new people. Zoidberg " Its been my experience that boxes are usually empty. Or somtimes, they have cheese stuck to the top. And one time, Peperoni! What a day!" ---

“Have you heard of the Monks of Shubah?” “I’ve - _not_ - heard of them” (as if this is a perfectly acceptable and even helpful answer :D) I use that all the time in conversation but nobody ever gets it. ---

“Quantum finish” is one of my favorite Futurama geek jokes, but that’s just because I _get_ it. I know for a fact that Futurama did other jokes that were so geeky, I didn’t even know they were jokes. And there’s absolutely no way that most of their geeky viewers would have gotten them. The multiple references to the number 1729, for example. ---

Bender, getting kicked out of the lunar theme park: “I don’t need your stupid theme park! I’m gonna start my own theme park! With BLACKJACK! And HOOKERS! In fact, forget the theme park!” My other favorite is one of those unexpectedly tender moments; it’s when Fry has read about the amazing 21st-century exploits of “Philip Fry,” and concluded that his brother, Yancey (with whom he always had a strong rivalry), had done all these things under his name. Then, at the end, he finds out that: Yancey named his son “Philip” after his brother who disappeared. Choked me right up. And in that same episode, I loved it when Bender dug up the corpse of John Larroquette, stole the wedding ring, and put it on his own finger. “Sorry ladies, _I’m taken_…” ---

OK, this is #1 in the list of threads not to read while drunk off your ass! 😃 “Jurrasic Bark,” is, IMO, the greatest 22 minutes of animated program ever put onto television, and easily top ten of all time great sitcom moments. ---

I love that line of Bender’s when he has washed up on a desert island and become leader of a group of obsolete robots, which sets off for New New York: Bender: We’re going to launch an attack on technology worthy of being chronicled in an anthem by Rush! ---

From _Fear of a Bot Planet_ when Fry and Leela are trying to infiltrate the robot city and the guard robots are trying to figure out whether they are human: **Guard Robot #1:** Administer the test. **Guard Robot #2:** Which of the following would you most prefer? A) A puppy B) A pretty flower from your sweetie or C) A large properly formatted data file? **Guard Robot #1:** CHOOSE! (Fry and Leela confer) **Fry:** Is the puppy mechanical in any way? **Guard Robot #2:** No. It is the bad kind of puppy. **Leela:** Then we’ll go with that data file. **Guard Robot #2:** Correct. **Guard Robot #1:** The flower would also have been acceptable. ---

[QUOTE=Raguleader] 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. Reply With Quote [/QUOTE] [QUOTE=bouv] OK, this is #1 in the list of threads not to read while drunk off your ass! 😃 “Jurrasic Bark,” is, IMO, the greatest 22 minutes of animated program ever put onto television, and easily top ten of all time great sitcom moments. [/QUOTE] Earlier this week I had a conversation with my boyfriend. Futurama came up and he said he hadn’t watched it much and never got what was so great about it and I pretty much said the same thing as bouv, Jurassic Bark was the best episode of any animated show ever. It made me cry but it was still the best. He just gave me an odd look. So I guess this means I must buy the series on DVD and force him to watch. ---

Small Crowd: What do we want? Fry: Fry’s dog! Small Crowd: When do we want it? Fry: Fry’s dog. Zapp: She’s built like a steakhouse, but she handles like a bistro. Zoidberg (at blernsball snack stand): “I’d like a jumbo squidlog please.” Snack seller: “We don’t sell those.” Zoidberg: “All right, all right, let me have one of your young on a roll.” Snack seller: “We’re out of rolls.” Zoidberg: “Fine! Just give me something crawling with parasites.” Scene cuts to stand. Zoidberg is eating a hot dog. ---
