[QUOTE=Surbey] I like how the coolometer, a device measuring coolness, is measured in increments of metric Fonzies. Hermes and Fonsworth’s sons measure over “40 Mega-Fonzies” [/QUOTE] Oh, subtle! Never noticed that. ---

**Fry** : I’ve only got two fantasies left: to be invisible in a chocolate factory, and to be romantically linked to a celebrity. **Bender** : I could pound your head 'til you think that’s what happened. **Fry** : Okay. **Bender** : Grab a shovel. I’m only one skull short of a Mousketeer reunion. **Bender** : Life is hilariously cruel. **Fry** : It’s like a party in my mouth and everyone’s throwing up. **Professor** : Anywho, your net suits will let you experience Fry’s worm-infested bowels as if you were actually wriggling through them. **Zoidberg** : There’s no part of that sentence I didn’t like. **Professor** : This is gonna be one hell of a bowel movement. Afterwards, he’ll be lucky if he has any bones left. Hermes’s jerked prunes, aka Caribbean Draino. **Bender** : C’mon, it’s just like making love. Y’know, left, down, rotate sixty-two degrees, engage rotors. **Fry** : They’re great! They’re like sex except I’m having them. **Professor** : And so we say goodbye to our beloved pet, Nibbler, who’s gone to a place where I too hope one day to go: the toilet. ---

Bender: after being informed of his role in "all my circuits’. “Stupid dumb coma, I could have been British.” Watching Kif dance for money after he and Brannigan were dismissed from the DOOP. Brannigan handing over the secret Earth defense codes to an obvious spy named Hugh Mann. ---

In the Why of Fry, the Niblonians give Fry a Scooty-Puff Jr. to escape from the Infosphere. I also like one of the brain spawn’s threat to Fry to keep him from not sending them all into an alternate universe. “We’ll form a tightly knit clique that you won’t be a part of!” In Godfellas (I think, the one where Bender gets launched into space and meets a computer that collided with God), Leela locks the monks into the laundry room and they exclaim, “Let us out! We cooked our shoes in the dryer and ate them. Now we’re bored!” Later they realize they forgot to let the monks out, and Fry asks “Do we have to? I’m sure their god will let them out. Or at least give them more shoes to eat.” I keep looking for an opportunity to use that last line. ---

[QUOTE=Meeko] you know, when the new CN eps start! [/QUOTE] NO new episodes are in the works. This is the rumor that won’t die. It started before the last episode even aired back in 2003 and it has been officially debunked numerous times. There have been talks but the official word is that no network that wants the show can afford it. There are some direct to DVD feature-lengths coming at some point. ---

[/QUOTE] They still won’t be “new episodes”, and they won’t be, as Meeko stated, on Cartoon Network. What I _hope_ is that they do astonishingly well and new episodes get ordered. Imagine watching back-to-back new episodes of South Park and Futurama on the same channel. Drool comes to mind. ---

It’s been at least a year since I saw this episode, and I don’t remember the name, but my favorite Futurama episode is the one where Leela and Fry get harpooned on the Planet Express ship by a bee’s stinger, which “ostensibly” causes Fry’s death. Leela, distraught and guilt-ridden keeps seeing Fry in her dreams and believes she’s slowly going crazy. In her dreams, Leela’s comforted by Fry, who continually asks her to “wake up.” That episode gave me chills, and kind of choked me up because I wasn’t expecting what happened at the end. I also like the line in the Fry’s grandfather episode when fry said “Does anybody else taste blue?” ---

[QUOTE=Onomatopoeia] I also like the line in the Fry’s grandfather episode when fry said “Does anybody else taste blue?” [/QUOTE] I’m not sure, but I think he asks questions like that when time travel is involved. There was an episode where he had to help Nibbler with something, and Nibbler erased his mind and took him back in time (or something like that) to where the episode started, and Fry remarked “Did everything just taste purple for a second there?” [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/your-favorite-futurama-moment/379155.md?page=3) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/your-favorite-futurama-moment/379155.md?page=5)
