[Maritime Q-Scout]

woo-hoo, Futurama is one of those shows that I've grown a real apprecaition for with time. Glad to hear some new episodes will be hitting the airwaves

30th Centry Fox ... classic

[BlackEleven]

One the funniest animated series ever, imo. The quote below is especially funny to me, considering I live in Quebec:

Professor Hubert Farnsworth: [Professor Farnsworth is showing Cubert, his clone, some of his inventions] This is my Universal Translator. It could have been my greatest invention, but it translates everything into an incomprehensible dead language
Cubert J. Farnsworth: [into the translator's microphone] Hello.
Universal Translator: Bonjour!
Professor Hubert Farnsworth: See? Utter gibberish!

[AC]

Fry: Pssst! Leela, you gotta get me out of here; it's horrible! Eating scraps, letting my waste drop wherever it falls like an animal in the zoo.
Leela: Animals go in the corner.
Fry: The corner!! Why didn't I think of that!

Fry: Hey, my girlfriend had one of those. Actually, it wasnt hers it was her Dad's. And actually she wasn't my girlfriend, she just lived next door and never closed the curtains

Fry: Just give me your best animal.
Salesman: Best? Well that's a matter of opinion. I personally like the Electric Snail.
Fry: That's a stupid animal. You're stupid! I said I want the best one.

[octothorp]

Excellent news! Such a brilliant series, especially in the final couple seasons.

Zoidberg: I'm confused Fry. I'm feeling a strange new emotion. Is it love when you care about a female for reasons beyond mating?
Fry: Nope. Must be some weird alien emotion.

[BlackEleven]

^ That episode is gold. One of my favourites:

Fry: Okay, you're on a date. What's the first thing you do?
Dr. Zoidberg: Ask her to mate with me.
Fry: No, tell her she's special.
Dr. Zoidberg: But she's not, she's merely the female with the largest clutch of eggs.
Fry: Well, tell her that. And then what?
Dr. Zoidberg: Then mating.
Fry: No, make up some feelings and tell her you have them.
[Dr. Zoidberg raises his hand]
Fry: Yes?
Dr. Zoidberg: Is desire to mate a feeling?
Fry: Ugh, you're not even trying.
Dr. Zoidberg: Ohhh, it's all so complicated, with the flowers, and the romance, and the lies upon lies.


Professor Hubert Farnsworth: You must take him to his ancient home world, which will soon erupt in an orgy of invertebrate sex.
Fry: Oh baby. I'm THERE.
Leela: Fry, do you even understand the word "invertebrate"?
Fry: Nope, but that's not the word I'm interested in.

[Rhettzky]

Bender: Hey. What kind of party is this? There's no booze and only one hooker.

[Ozy_Flame]

When Fry makes a deal with the Devil to get the hands of another robot, the Spin Wheel coincidently lands on the Robot Devil himself...

Fry (To Robot Devil): Whoohoo! I get your hands??
Robot Devil: AAARGH! What an appallingly ironic outcome!

One of my favorite episodes. A few other quotes from that episode:

Fry: "That could be my beautiful soul sitting naked on a couch. If I could just learn to play this stupid thing."
Bender: "Oh, but you can! Though you may have to metaphorically make a deal with the devil. And by devil, I mean Robot Devil. And by metaphorically I mean get your coat."


Robot Devil: "Your lyrics lack subtlety. You can't just have your characters announce how they feel! That makes me feel angry!"


Fry: "My hands! My horrible human hands! Whoa! And what'd you do to my nails?"
Robot Devil: "I cleaned them."

[Bring_Back_Shantz]

My absolute favorite is from
How Herme's Requisitioned his groove back,

Bender spends the entire episode saying "I am Bender please insert girder" and it all comes to a hillarious conclusion in the song at the end.

Zoidberg: They said I shouldn't be a surgeon.

Professor Farnsworth: They laughed at my electric frankfurter.

Leela: They said I shouldn't fly with just one eye.

Bender: I am bender please insert girder.

pure gold.

Nice, as long as the whole casts come back, it should be awesome.

I loved the episode where they went back in time and fry nailed his own grandmother.

Fry: But won't that change history?
Professor Hubert Farnsworth: [ultra sarcastic] Ohh, a lesson in not changing history from Mr. "I'm My Own Grandfather"! Let's just steal the damn dish and get out of here! Screw history!

[Table 5]

I guess im the only one, but I always thought Futurama was somewhat unbearable to watch. I gave it many chances to redeem itself, but it always just seemed like a really poor cousin of shows like the Simpsons and Family Guy.

I was sort of glad it dissapeared.

[photon]

Awesome, this is the best news ever!

This episode is on tonight on teletoon coincidentally. That one and the one with the planet Amazonia are probably my favourites.

Amazon: "We take you to all knowing femputer."
Fry: "Is she hot?"
Amazon: "That not matter, she all knowing."
Fry: "So, in other words, no.
Amazon: **Whack**

Pretty good list, and I certainly agree with his top three, even though #2 isn't necessarily one moment. But I'd put the ending of The Sting very high on that list, too. And instead of his #17, I'd chose a different Star Trek reference: when Zoidberg's people's national anthem starts up, and it's the hand-to-hand fight music from Star Trek. Hilarious!

Speaking of The Sting, his #25 reminds me of a great moment in that episode: at Fry's funeral, the Amazonian says "Him do good snu-snu." All the women in the row behind him sort of shrug; there's Amy, Morgan, Michelle, Petunia, and a radiator.

Futurama was ok but like King of the Hill I eventually drifted away from it. I watch it sometimes though if nothing else is on.

People watch King Of The Hill?

My favorite(s):

Fry: To Captain Bender, he's the best ...at being a big jerk who's stupid and his big, ugly face is as dumb as a butt

and

Leela: No offense, Fry, but you've become a fat sack of crap.
Fry: [offended] Sack?!?
