Was that the same episode where the professor created a team of genetically mutated basketball players? Where they were having a huddle and the guy with the ball cannon in his chest concentrated so much he shot the spider player to pieces?
Last Futurama laugh I had was last night during the Pharoah episode, the Egyptian-esque aliens describe how they came to Earth to learn pyramid building and space travel from the Egyptians
Best ever laugh I had was watched with a fellow Trek fan in the office (which made it even better), hearing the “Amok Time” music played as the “Decapodian national anthem”
When Lila and Fry were stranded on the Moon, they found a “Moon ranch” under a dome. When they asked for oxygen the farmer retorted: “Oxygen don’t grow on trees ya’know.” The dome was full of trees!
Also what struck me funny was the lettering on the pizza box when Fry was delivering pizza, “Don’t tip the delivery boy!”
Not really a gag, just a cool reference. In the episode where Leela is tricked into marrying a shapeshifter posing as the only other member of her species left in the universe, one of his other wives is one of HP Lovecraft’s Great Race of Yith.

From the same scene, regarding nightfall on the moon–
Farmer: “Yep! Drops down to minus 173.”
Fry: “Fahrenheit or Celsius?”
Farmer: “First one, then t’other.”
Haha, in that same episode when Kif starts crying and Zap says “What? Are you gay?!”
The Grunka lunka song:
Asking questions in school is good way to learn
If you try that stuff here you might get your legs broke
We once found a body face down in the slurm
It could easily happen again to you folks
So keep your head down and keep your mouth shut
Grunka lunka, lunka dunkitty dut!" *
I like the scene where the Professor is summoned to the University for what he thinks is a disciplinary hearing but is really a surprise birthday party. He starts out by swearing, “If I go down, you’ll all go down with me!” and starts accusing all the deans of improprieties. Then they tell him it’s a birthday party, and after he finds out, he goes right back to his accusations.
“Jurassic Bark” was on Adult Swim again. I promised myself I wasn’t going to sit through it again. The only damn thing that makes me cry to watch. Me, a crusty 49 year old, too damn old for cartoons. So naturally I had to TiVo it. Then I watched the ending over and over from when Fry said, “He forgot me a long, long time ago.” Listening to the song and watching Seymour waitiing in vain in front of the pizzeria. Damn show, manipulating my emotions. Of course our dogs never forget us. The shortest separation seems like an eternity to them. Then I erased it. Until the next time it’s on. Then I’ll promise myself again I’m not gonna watch it. And set my TiVo again. That’s one damn powerful episode and I can’t break its grip on me.
Fry: So, while you’re on the probulator, tell me what brings you to the future.
Man: Oh, well, I wanted to meet Shakespeare and I figured that time was cyclical.
Fry: Nope, straight line. [Probulator beeps] Ah! the probulator’s done.
Man: Oh, that wasn’t so bad.
Fry: Oh, wait, it hasn’t started yet. [Beep. The man screams] Okay, it’s about to start. [Beep. The man screams harder]
and
Fry: So, there’s an infinite number of parallel universes?
Professor: No, just the two.
Fry: Oh, well, I’m sure that’s enough.
