The 10 best lines from Futurama

[777 geek]

Number 10 - from 'Bender Should Not be Allowed on TV', when Bender does his audition, Calculon is unimpressed, "That was so terrible! I think you gave me cancer!" Line by Maurice LaMarche.

Number 9 - from 'Anthology of Interest part II', in the parody of The Wizard of Oz, Mom, assuming the role of the Wicked Witch of the West, attempts to monitor our heroes on a screen, but the reception is poor, so she bangs on it, "Damn this DSL!" Line by the inimitable Tress MacNeille.

Number 8 - from 'Leela's Homeword', when Bender tries to dump Free Willy's carcass down a manhole by stamping on it, Leela complains, "First of all, the sewer mutants will be mad. Second, everything else that's horribly wrong with what you're doing!"

Number 7 - from 'Future Stock', when Mom's sons say something that again irritates her, she does the triple face slap, "Jam a bastard in it, you crap!" Line by the inimitable Tress MacNeille.

Number 6 - from 'The Devil's Hands are Idle Play Things', after opera climaxes with the Robot Devil cutting off Fry's hands (which are actually the Devil's hands, but they're switching them back), Hedonism Bot expresses his enjoyment, "Surgey? In an op-e-ra? How wonderfully decadent! And just as I was beginning to lost interest. Jumbey! The chocolate icing!" Hedonism Bot's half-naked manservant Jumbey proceeds to spread chocolate icing on Hedonism Bot's stomach. "Oh my yes! Ohhhhh!" Line by Maurice LaMarche.

Number 5 - from 'The Devil's Hands are Idle Play Things', during the opera when Leela expresses shock that her faustian bargain for robotic ears meant she had to marry the Robot Devil, the Robot Devil explains, "You should have checked the wording in the fine..." (beat) "... print." Line by the man himself, Dan Castellaneta.

Number 4 - from 'Anthology of Interest II', at the end of the first rather scatological story about Bender made human dying from disgusting over indulgence, the narrator declares, "You watched it! You can't unwatch it!" Line by Maurice LaMarche.

Number 3 - from 'Put Your Head on My Shoulders', after Bender, entering the occupation of being a gangster pimp, complete with a golden tooth, gets fined in court for pimping, he struts off in gangster pimp fashion followed by his robot whoares, who say, "Bender, honey, we love you," to which Bender responds, "Shut up, baby! I know it!" Line by John DiMaggio.

Number 2 - from 'The Luck of the Fryish', after the horse on which the Professor bet just loses in a quantum finish, "No fair! You changed the outcome by measuring it!" Line by Billy West.

And the all-time best Futurama line - from 'Xmas Story', when Fry pleaded with Santa Claus not to kill him and Leela by offering to put out milk and cookies, "You dare bribe Santa! I'm going to shove coal so far up your stocking you'll be coughing up diamonds!" Line by John Goodman.

Top 10? Nah. There are just too many bits. A few I liked:
-------
Morbo: "Morbo will now introduce tonights candidates. Puny human number one, puny human number two and Morbo's good friend Richard Nixon."
Nixon: "Hello Morbo. How's the family?"
Morbo: "Belligerent and numerous."
Nixon: "Good man, Nixon's pro-war and pro-family."
-------
Linda: "Next, 'New New York in Crisis.' Morbo?"
Morbo: "Thanks, human female. Puny Earthlings were shocked today to learn that a ball of garbage will destroy their pathetic city of New New York."
Linda: "Makes me glad we live here in Los Angeles."
Morbo: "Morbo agrees."
~both laugh cheerfully~

Kif: "Um, uh, not me, sir."
Zapp: "Oh, yes, right. Nobody destroy Kif. (quietly) Unless you have to. [He sees Leela.] (talking) Oh, ho, ho! The luscious Captain Leela. [He starts rubbing his hands.] This is turning into one very sex-ay struggle for the future of the human race!"
Leela: "Thanks, but I'm not technically human."
Zapp: "Right, right. Nobody destroy Leela either."

"Look at me, Dr. Zoidberg, home owner!"

Basically everything Zoidberg related seems to be funny.

[Gillianren]

I used to get messages left on my answering machine saying, "It is I, Zoidberg!" This was what my ren faire boss would invariably leave as his greeting. The fun thing is that my immediate response is "Hi, Dr. Zoidberg!"

We also have this premise that Zoidberg's deep personal loathing comes from the fact that he's not kosher.

Also the episode where Bender became captain;

Zoidberg: "Such a man, I'd follow him to hell and back I would"

My absolute favorite:

Fry: What if Slurm is made of people!?
Leela: There is already a soda like that. Soylent Cola.
Fry: How does it taste?
Leela: It varies from person to person.

In fact, I would say that's my favorite line in ALL of cinematic SF.

[parallaxicality]

I adore Maurice LaMarche. Every time I hear his voice I just have to say, "Are you pondering what I'm pondering?" under my breath.

Little known fact: Orson Welles was created in Ed Wood by dubbing Vincent Di Onfrio with Maurice LaMarche's voice.

My favourite Futurama lines:

Fry, stuck on the moon, and seeing the Sun pass below the horizon: "Now we're all going to freeze!"

Bender: "Waddaya mean we, mammal?"



Bender, flying out of Robot Hell, carrying Fry and Leela: "From now on, I've had it with being good. I'll just be simple, plain old Bender."

Leela: "Um, you think you could be just a little less evil than that?"

Bender: "I dunno. You think you could survive a three hundred foot fall?"


Professor Farnsworth: "The pine tree's extinct! Along with the poodle and your primitive notions of modesty! [strips naked] Brisk!"

That was on TV noy too long ago and the GF and talked about it. She is incredible when it comes to recalling faces and voices in movies and TV. I had to struggle a bit to come up with the voice though.

A friend of mine in game asked who did the voice of Brain, and I popped off Maurice LeMarche almsot instantly. He went to look it up because he said the answer came way too fast to not be a joke.:)

For lines, I don't know if I'd put it in the top 10, and I can't remember them exactly, but:

"These candy hearts are chalky and unpleasant", gets used a lot. One of my game characters has a text bind that makes him say, "The spirit is willing, but flesh is spongy and bruised", when people ask if I'm ready for the next fight.

BTW, Futurama also has my vote for the most messed up episode of any cartoon ever. The whole last 2 minutes of the one where Fry finds his dog. That's just wrong. The GF won't watch that one when it comes on.

Amazon Women in the Mood:
Femputer: After lenghty femputations, I, Femputer, have decided the fate of the men. Femputer sentences them to death!

The alternating looks of horror and joy on their faces is one of my favorite futurama moments. :)

Yeah that's gotta be one of the saddest moments in cartoons, right up there with Bambi's mom getting killed. Friend of mine isn't allowed to watch that episode when his wife is home. :)

Okay, I haven't seen that episode. Somebody tell me what happens!

You're quite right - that would indeed be a very powerful ending.

Zap Brannigan just prior to earth invading the bouncing ball planet. "Now men as you are all aware the key to victory is surprise". He pushes a button with opens up the floor of his space ship, dumping his army onto the planet. "Surprise!"

The episode in question is called "Jurassic Bark", here's the scene.

Spoiler alert if anyone cares, this is the ending of the episode.

I've seen other sad "cartoon" scenes, but you just don't expect something like this in a comedy show. You watch that episode, expecting something funny, and there are funny bits, but end up depressed when the credits roll. Ugh.

No, that was different. (SPOILER WARNING.)





In that case, at the end Fry understood how he had been remembered.

I preferred 'Luck of the Fryish' to 'Jurassic Bark', probably because it was the first of the episodes about Fry's past that had a poignant ending. It also had a sweet ending too whereas 'Jurassic Bark' had a weird ending with Fry in underpants.

But damn that outfit Leela was wearing was hot! Leela is clearly the most desirable women in the entire universe, coming just ahead of Nichelle Nicols.

*shrug* We'll have to disagree on that one. Obviously, this is very subjective, but to me, while both were poignant, "Jurrasic Bark" was much sadder, because

And, both are quite poignant.

[novaderrik]

actually, it wasn't so sad bacause the dog waited in vain- it was sad because Fry was so sure the dog had moved on and had a full life in the years after he got frozen that the dog wouldn't remember him- but if they had resurrected the dog, he would have gotten his wish and been able to be with Fry again..
that episode- along with "Luck of the Fryish" and "The Devils Hands are Idle Playthings"- pretty much sum up why i think that show was just so awesome.
they also explain why Philip J Fry is such a tragic and likable character- and maybe the most "real" character in tv history.

[Maksutov]

[edit]But damn that outfit Leela was wearing was hot! Leela is clearly the most desirable women in the entire universe, coming just ahead of Nichelle Nicols.Would that be this one?

Yes, that's what I meant by "Fry never knew the truth" but it was also sad because his pet waited in vain.
