What are some of the worst episodes of Futurama?
Mine are:
The one Bender falls in love with the PE Ship. The one where Leela gets Court Martialed. How Hermes Resitioned His Groove Back. A Clone of My Own. The one where Cubert and Hermes' son have a paper route.
Forgive me that I didn't know any of the titles.....

Love and Rocket. You are wrong.
Brannigan, Begin Again. You are right.
You are iffy.
You are wrong.
The Route of All Evil. You are right.
You are forgiven.:)

I don't follow. How is he right or wrong? You're "grading" his opinion with yours...
(You're taking him too seriously. By "you are wrong", he means "In my very humble and respectful opinion, I beg to differ with the proposition you have put forth, good sir.")
Ah, completely my mistake :o)
Understandable, my friend, completely understandable.:)

How can any Bender-centric episode make anyone's worst eppy list?
"France has neither winter, nor summer, nor morals. France is miserable because it is filled with Frenchmen, and Frenchmen are miserable because they live in France" - Mark Twain
I don't think any episodes are truly bad, but "Pharoah to Remember" was a bit iffy. Bender was overly mean (even for him) at points, and in general just didn't seem quite up to par. Still enjoyed it to some degree, though.
Taste- well it's a funny thing, I really liked the Hermes / Groove epi - some great lines: Hermes (on top of the PE Building) "I'm going to jump" Bender "Do a flip"
One of my least fav is the one with the anchovies and Mom - perhaps it's that I just don't like Mom - she is twisted and evil.

I'm sorry, but that episode gets its way into my heart FOREVER with what is possibly amongst the ten funniest things i have ever heard in my life:
some guy, igner/walter/whatever: my GOD . . . this mister Fry must be a mastermind of the highest order! (switch to fry in his underwear watching Sanford and Son in the dark) some character on sanford and son: Eeey, Esta, you UGLY! fry: (laughs, whilst resting can of beer on priceless anchovies)
Hmm. Doesn't look so funny there as it's more of a visual joke, but come on, even you who hates that episode must realise that's hilarious?

"Route of all Evil" is the only ep I've not really liked in the entire run, which is quite a compliment to the show
Yeah, Route of all Evil was kinda bland, and 30% Iron Chef isnt a fav or mine either.
Are Birdbot of Icecatraz and Taste of Freedom good episodes? I havent seem em yet.

Oh come on, 'The Honking' and 'That's Lobstertainment' were almost 100% worthless.

Has everyone in this group managed to block out all memory of "Mars University"? Sweet Zombie Jesus, please tell me how you all managed it! I could use the help!

Sorry, no, I didn't block it out. I HAVE A WEAKNESS FOR MONKEYS WEARING PEOPLE CLOTHES, OKAY ?!?!?!

Hey brother, I'm all about the primates wearing people clothes and talking! I watched every episode of Lancelot Link, Secret Chimp when they were originally broadcast...and I watched every episode of The Chimp Channel too. I've watched the original Planet of the Apes movies so many times they have worn grooves in my retinas. Love the "Dial M for Monkey" cartoons, especially the one where he meets Simyon, who talks strangely like Chalton Heston. When I'm alone, I even talk to myself in a Mojo Jojo voice. Are you scared yet?
Maybe what bothered me about "Mars University" was not enough talking superintelligent monkey, and way way way too much Animal House.
P.S.: on an unrelated note, I do think we're all morally obliged to use the phrase "Sweet Zombie Jesus" as often as possible.

Not really. I once had this conversation with a friend, a ferocious hockey fan :
"Dude, I just bought 'Most Valuable Primate'" "....why on earth would you buy such ridiculous straight to video bilge ?!?!?" "Well, 1. It has a monkey in people clothes, 2. The monkey is doing people things, and 3. The monkey is playing hockey"
You know it goes against everything I stand for, but try as I might I just can't argue with that logic.
Just avoid "Sweet Zombie Mohammed" if you don't want rocks thrown at you

Nope, love them both to itty bitty pieces :-) (and while I understand I may be in a minority, I can add that I know of at least two people whose first Futurama ep was The Honking, and who both became fans based on that ep.)

I've only seen it once (roll on my birthday, I need that season 2 dvd), but I have very good memories of The Honking.
Actually, a "Pharaoh to Remember" is on my top list. The bit where they were heading towards a planet that would have passed for Earth on a bad show despite being totally unlike it geographically and then pointing it out was brilliant.:)

Well, to each his own I guess. I still basically like it, I just didn't like it as much as most episodes (I find that to be true of Bender episodes in general). And to be fair, I haven't seen it since it aired.

I really have to disagree with you here. The 2001: A Space Oddyssey references crack me up every time. Plus... Sigourney Weaver. Mrowl!
:-)
In my very humble and respectful opinion, I beg to differ with the propositions you all have put forth, good sirs. There are no bad episodes! :p
True. I think when we look back at some of the weaker plots, we forget that the episode was still funny and well-written.
Try it out -- take the episode you think is the worst and watch it again. I bet it'll be a lot funnier than you thought.
