Well, since we won't be seeing a new Futurama episode since Feb. 2000, I'd like to start a poll- what's the funniest Futurama moments in your opinion? Frankly, I can't choose, so I'm going by episode. Most are quotes suming up the situation.
Space Pilot 3000: -The priceless scene where the armless Bender puts on his arms. -"Heh heh, can we have some money?"
This Series Has Landed: "Are we finished being stupid?" "I had more, but go ahead.
I, Roomate: -That reference to the painting with the clock hanging on the branch in liquid. (Sorry, dunno the name) -Leela's lecture about getting behind the wheel with a liqour -"Mind if I give the eulogy?"
Love Labor Lost In Space: -"I'll send wave after wave of my own men at your disposal, right men?" "You suck!"
Fear Of A Bot Planet: -The whole multi-ball situation -Bender getting butter -"Got Milk? Then you're a human and must be killed!" -The whole Cold War parody on Chapek 9 -The typical cartoon cliche of only eyes appearing in the dark, with Leela have one. -"If only we had two or three minutes to think about it!"
Fishfull Of Dollars: -The hilarious Sanford and Son reference -The ending. "More, more!"
My Three Suns: Possibly the best one out there: "Uh oh, I shouldnt've had seconds!"
The Trashteroid One: -"Letting people watch TV in the windows since 1951" -Farnsworth's heart -Fry missing the target button -Morbo's first appearance
Hell Is Other Robots: -Nothing stood out that much here. You had Bender reading like, technical readouts for Porno in AVC05, with this one down to "Those robots don't have cases!"
A Flight To Remember: -"It's my way of thanking you for not reporting my numerous violations of safety and minimum wage laws!" "Aww, you!" -"Fry, if you so long as glance at another women, I'll be all over Leela like a fly over a pile of very seductive manure." -"Take it off, or I'll break it off." -"It's fake, mon!"
Mars University: - The A-L line, M-Y line, and all the aliens in the Z line.
When Aliens Attack: -"Stop exploding, you cowards!" -"By god, he's dead." -"And we'll be back after this message from Crazy Bender's discounts!" -"And when the show ends, everything's back to normal."
Fry and The Slurm Factory: Eh, nothing much stood out in this one, IMO.
I Second That Emotion: -Everyone awing over Nibbler doing stuff like wearing a hat, etc.
Brannigan Begin Again: -The Child space suit, something I can't really explain, it was just hilarious. -The Neutral Leader's dialouge
The Xmas Story: -The already famous Digital Clock scene.
Hmmm, let's see; these are from memory, so please forgive minor inaccuracies:
"And that solves the mystery of the missing ring. Let's celebrate with a drink." (pulls out three beers, downs them all himself.)
"What do I look like, a guy who's not lazy?"
For some odd reason, the funniest part to me was right after that line: CALCULON: "Mind if I give the eulogy?" EVERYONE: "Yay!" STEREOTYPICAL GAY-VOICED NEIGHBOR: (In stereotypical gay voice) "Calculon's back!"
Also: LADY WITH FAT ASS: His thoughts are being transmitted on my cel phone. BENDER:Madame, I believe you're mistaken. BENDER'S THOUGHTS ON CEL PHONE: Wow, that lady has a huge ass. BENDER:Those could be anyone's thoughts, fatass.
"I hate the people who love me, and they hate me."
LEELA: Do you have any idea how long it'll take me to recalibrate these engines? FRY: When you look this good, you don't have to know anything.
This entire sequence cracks me up: COMPUTER: This is Virgon Six FARNSWORTH: This is Virgon Six. AMY: B'uh. FARNSWORTH: It's a sunny little doomed planet, inhabited by a number of frisky little doomed animals. LEELA: Animals? FARNSWORTH: That's right, animals in desparate need of rescue. You see, Virgon Six was once filled with a superdense substance known as Dark Matter, each pound of which weighs over one thousand pounds. LEELA: Wait, what about the animals? FARNSWORTH: Well Dark Matter is extremely valuable as starship fuel. That's why it was all mined out, leaving the planet completely empty. LEELA: Yes, but what about the animals? FARNSWORTH: The wha? LEELA: The animals. FARNSWORTH: I didn't say anything about animals. Now it seems the planet will collapse within three days. Incidentally, this will kill all the animals.
"I anticipate a quick victory, followed by a light brunch... Ravioli... Ham... Sundae Bar..."
"A well-calculated move, straight out of Sun Tzu's classic text, "The Art of War." Or my own masterwork, "Zapp Brannigan's Big Book of War."
ROBOT GUARD:Which of the following would you rather have: A puppy, flowers from your sweetie, or a large, properly formatted data file? FRY/LEELA: (Whispering) Is the puppy mechanical in any way? ROBOT: No, it is the *BAD* kind of puppy. LEELA:We'll take the data file. ROBOT:Correct. The flowers would've also been acceptable.
"I'm off to some BS charity benefit for knocked up teenage sluts."
"That's the saltiest thing I've ever tasted; and I once ate a big heaping bowl of salt."
"Get ready to cry, because there's no God, and your pathetic human ideals are laughable."
"They tried every country, even that really dirty one. You know the one I'm talking about."
"Due to the Freedom in Hell Act of (I completely forget the year) I'm required to have you sign this fiddle contest waiver."
The funniest part is that Fry automatically reaches to sign it without question, and Leela slaps his hand away.
FRY:Wow, the Beastie Boys! I have all five of your albums. BEASTIE BOYS:That was a thousand years ago. Now we've got seven. FRY:Wow, can I borrow the new ones? And some blank tapes?
(All said by Fry with staticky-raised hair): "It's just like this one time when I thought my best friend was doing drugs, and then he sold me my mom's VCR. And then later I found out he was doing drugs. You make me ashamed to be your friend."
KIF:Sir, do you remember the course correction you made? ZAPP:No.
FARNSWORTH:Fry, if you two don't stop arguing, I'm going to have you both neutered. FRY: Heh, that'll show him.
MONKEY: I was miserable as a genius, and as a monkey I was so stupid I tried to put a hat on my butt.
And then Fry giggles at the memory, that was pure genius.
ZAPP:The key to well ordered troops is discipline. You'll each practice making your beds until you're so good at it, you can make them in your sleep. FRY:You mean, while we're sleeping in them? ZAPP:You won't have time for sleeping with all the bedmaking you'll be doing.
LEELA: Damage report. BENDER: They damaged the auxilliary power, and the main thrusters are off line. Plus they spilled my cocktail. FRY: Okay you bastards. This one's for Bender's cocktail.
Au contraire:
FARNSWORTH: Who are those horrible orange creatures? WILLY WONKA SLUG: Those are the Grunka Lunkas. They work in the factory. FARNSWORTH: Tell them I hate them.
BENDER: I'm going to go wallow in my sympathy with a bucket of ice cream. FRY: The spoon's in the foot powder.
"Your honor, I'm just a simple Hyperchicken from a backwoods galaxy."
LEELA: You must be using an archaic pronunciation, like when you say 'ask' instead of 'axe.'" FRY: X-Mas, huh? You know, this will be my first X-Mas away from home. LEELA: Hey, hey, let me axe you something. Would it cheer you up if we went and cut down an X-Mas tree?
I think my all time favorite moment was in "When Aliens Attack" (also my favorite episode so far) when Fry is going into the huge space battle, but he's making those imaginary sound effects. It's not just that it's funny, but the fact that he does it is such a window into his TV-drenched inner psyche.
not a quote...but a sight gag from the first episode...fry,bender and leela are suprised by the police bursting in....they yell "freeze" everyone freezes...then a brick drops out of bender's ass......freakin' hilarious...
