Futurama appreciation thread & Favourite quotes

    Well there was so much Simpsons and Family Guy stuff written around these parts that I figured a Futurama thread was in order. One of the most underrated shows of all time in my books.
    What are your favourite quotes/dialogue?

    One of my favourites is the 30% Iron Chef episode where Dr. Zoidberg frames Fry for destroying the Professor's ship in a bottle and tries to kill himself with the host's sword:
    "Ohhh..That sword cost five thousand dollaruuuu!"

    Or the Kidnappster episode when Fry downloads Lucy Lu and they're in the cinema watching Charlie's Angels:
    Cameron Diaz (I think): Mr. Mayor, why don't you look in the mirror and see who the real vampire is?
    Mayor: I can't, I'm a vampire!

    Or some classic Zapp Brannigan:
    "If I said you had a beautiful body would you take your pants off and dance around a little?"

    etc etc....could go on all day.

    Amy: You should try homeopathic medicine, Bender. Try some zinc.
    Bender: I am forty percent zinc.
    Amy: Then take some echinacea, or St. John's Wort.
    Professor: Or a bit fat placebo. It's all the same crap.


    Professor: It's a little experiment that might win me the Nobel Prize.
    Leela: In which field?
    Professor: I don't care - they all pay the same.

    Zapp Branigan talking to Kif - "Private Lee Lemon may be the finest recruit Ive seen in all my years of service, that young man fills me with hope, and some other emotions that are weird and deeply confusing me".

    pic00187.jpg

    Plus, an obvious one

    Fry: "Can I ask you a question?"
    Leela: "As long as it's not about my eye."
    Fry: "errr."
    Leela: "Is it about my eye?"
    Fry: "Sort of."
    Leela: *sigh* "Just ask the question."
    Fry: "What's with the eye?"
    Leela: "I'm an alien alright? Let's drop the subject."
    Fry: "Cool! An alien! Has your race taken over the earth?"
    Leela: "No.. I just work here."

    Or, quite simply

    Fry - Weeeeeeeelllsssssshhhhhhhhyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!!!!!!

    Zapp Brannigan: Branigan's law is like Brannigan's sex, hard and fast!

    Zapp Brannigan: The best way into a girl's bed is through her parents. Have sex with them, and you're in.

    Professor: Everyone, I have a very dramatic announcement, so anyone with a weak heart should leave now. Goodbye!

    Zapp: I dont pretend to understand Brannigans law, I just enforce it!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 917 ✭✭✭carbonkid


    Bender: Congratulations Fry, you've snagged the perfect girlfriend. Amy's rich, she's probably got other characteristics...

    Zapp Brannigan: All the dominoes are falling into place like a deck of cards. Checkmate.

    That's one of my favourites too. But as far as I remember it's even better than that - he says:

    But if we can hit that bullseye, the dominoes will fall like a house of cards... checkmate!

    marvellous

    Ok, seeming the thread been's revived:

    Telephone-Recording: The restuarnt you are calling as crashed into a planet. Please notify the police.
    Fry: So what do you do Bneder?
    Bender: I'm a bender. I bend gurters.


  • Registered Users Posts: 776 ✭✭✭Narcissus


    I loved the episode that was on yesterday on sky one, with big foot and fry's "human horn" being stolen! And the bender one liners were classic aswell.

    Lurr: Mmm, this jerked chicken is good! I think I'll have Fry's lower horn jerked.
    Bender: It's used to it! Whoo!

    Leela: Well, Fry, it looks like you get to hold on to your lower horn.
    Bender: As usual! Woooo!

    lol


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 21,296 ✭✭✭✭gimmick


    <<<< Possibly my favourite episode is the Slurms McKenzie one. Its a good parody of an over done parody, shows Hermes to be a jerk when trying to buy a grunka lunka. The Grunka Lunka songs are very funny. the professors indignance towards them, and Frys utter, utter stupidity when he discovers the secret ingredient of Slurm!

    Wimmy wam woozle.

    I just watched this the other day. A personal favourite:

    Previously on 'All My Circuit'
    Calculon: Roneé, why do you forsake me?
    Roneé: Because, I have amnesia!
    (DRAMATIC MUSIC)
    Robt Child: That means.......
    Calculon:.....You're Egyptian?!
    (DRAMATIC MUSIC)
    Calculon: (to whole cast) Let me get this straight: Is there anyone here who dosen't have amnesia?
    All: Well, uh.......
    (DRAMATIC MUSIC)

    That episode where Leela and Fry are trying to rid Bender of his new-found religion.
    "Look Bender, The Hookerbot 3000, she's got a heart of solid gold!"

    Zapp: Lower, lower, a little lower, TOO LOW!!... lower

    [First scene with him]
    Zapp: Feel that Kif, that real veleur
    [then of course Kif following him up the ladder and that wonderful suddering noise]

    Zapp (crying): You're the only woman who ever loved me!
    Leela: Oh I'm sure there have been other women...
    Zapp: I ment physically!

    Any time that man opens his mouth it's pure gold

    Fry: what's that?
    Professor: Oh, it's a smelloscope. It lets you smell anything in space anywhere it is.
    Fry: Well, just as long as you don't point it at uranus! Ha ha!
    Leela: i don't get!
    Prof. Oh fry: Scientists renamed that planet in 2052 to end that stupid joke once and for all.
    Fry: So what's it called now?
    Prof: urectum!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,784 ✭✭✭im...LOST


    When Fry and Bender join the army to get a discount on some gum.

    Brannigan:With all this bed making you will be able to make it in your sleep.
    Fry:You mean while were sleeping in it?
    Brannigan:You won't have time to sleep soldier, not with all the bed making you'll be doing.
    Or

    Professor:You see vergon 6 was one filled with a super dense substance known as dark matter.
    Each pound of which weighs over 10,000 pounds.

    :D
