MEATBAGS: Favorite Futurama ep?

Post Reply New Topic

Wow--too many to list!

"Jurassic Bark", even with the slight retcon that came with the advent of "Bender's Big Score."

I really liked "Cold Warriors" from the end of the most recent season. ("Now bundle up. I don't want you getting frozen.")

"The Cyber House Rules" ("I'm proud to be different. I just wish I'd realized that when I was her age.")

"Lethal Inspection" ("Little bird, little bird, fly through my window....")

Also:

Slightly lighter note: "How Hermes Requisitioned His Groove Back" and "Hell is Other Robots."

I know I'm leaving some out--oh well.

Awww, I just re-watched "Lethal Inspection" and I realized that it's HILARIOUS! Also, it's really sweet.

Te th robot hell and Fry getting the robot devil's hands...I just love all the Beastie Boy jokes in it and the plot is actually quite relatable for me rather than it being social commentary. (in my case being in Fry's position, but not as stupid haha.)

New season: best one so far (I think) is "Free Will Hunting." Anyone notice the Season 1 references?

I'm glad I saw this. It's been ages since I've seen Futurama. I get sidetracked and forget it's on. My favorite episode is "Parasites Lost". The idea of good microscopic invaders intrigues me. My parasitic nasties, (lyme bacteria) do no good whatsoever. I'd actually like to get my hands on one of those egg sandwiches and let the good parasites and the bad bacteria invaders battle it out. I wonder how that would play out; "Monty Python" style, musical "West Side Story" style, or a good old fashioned "Terminator" butt kicking wipe out the universe style.

ps. Could someone please tell me when it is on nowadays?

^Yep, something like that.

I would have to say, Fear of a Bot Planet is my favorite episode, because I like robots and stories about a robotic society.

"Jurassic Bark" makes me cry...so does "luck of the fryrish"...

Favorite Character is the 80's guy from Future Stock.

Back in the 1980's I was the toast of Wall Street. I was having Whiskey with Boesky...and cookies with Milken!!

Love it! Love it!!

I haven't watched this show in ages and now I think I need to start again. Do they still play it on Adult Swim during the wee hours of the morning?

I love Futurama, but forgive me if I don't know the names of all the episodes. SO many good ones, but the ones that are most memorable to me are

Fry looking for an apartment - love the giant squid on the window
The trip to the Slurm Factory
Where the Buggalo Roam "I took the liberty of fertlizing the caviar." - Dr. Zoidberg
Amazon Women in the Mood
The parasite worms from Fry's toilet sandwich
Leela's first meeting with Zap Brannigan
Kiff's pregnancy
Bender's "jacking on" and the trip to Robot Hell. "Who would have thought that the portal of Hell would be in New Jersey?" -- Leela
and
Any of the episodes where Fry is showing his love for Leela. Can't believe I can be moved by cartoon romance, but there you go.

God, I do love Futurama. Nothing else cracks me up in quite the same way.

The Honking.

- The fortune teller.

- "We're all scared! It's the human condition. Why do ya thinks I puts on this tough-guy facade?"

And every Through The Scary Door.

And how I wish I could join The League of Robots...

Ah! The one with Fry's girlfriend from 2000, freezing themselves -

"Let's do it, and never regret it"

They unfreeze in a post-apocalyptic wasteland

"I don't regret this. But I both rue and lament it."

And Zap! And Calculon!

Wow, that's really hard to say. *Scrolls through episode list to decide*

"Put Your Head on My Shoulders" is definitely a favorite. I loved seeing Fry and Amy's personalities bounce off of each other. It's funny to think about how very similar they are, but despite that, Fry and Leela work better as a couple. "Huh? You don't like chocolate?" "Will chocolate please let me finish?"

"Mother's Day" is particularly hilarious. All of the rebelling robots.... "I've got a big big thirst for HUMAN BLOOD!"

"Time Keeps on Slippin'" was a very creative episode. They had fun playing around with the idea of time skips. "Zoidberg, can I talk to you about Fry?" *Time skip* "-does the WORST Jerry Lewis impression I've ever seen- Zoidberg!" *Zoidberg turns of the TV* "Sorry, you must have been boring me."

"The Sting" was a really touching, and somewhat intense episode. The whole "it was all a dream" thing has been done to death, but I thought that episode was still pretty powerful. The writers of Futurama just love to do those endings where you go awww, and then they surprise you with something like "You could really use a shower." "You too." and you laugh your butt off.

"Yo Leela Leela" was a lot of fun, too. Their parody of Yo Gabba Gabba was spot on. I loved the idea of there being an actual planet made up of characters from a children's show. I'd like to visit that planet. Favorite quote: "I don't understand. When I like things, I lick 'em. Like this raccoon." *Picks up Nibbler in a raccoon costume and licks him, as Nibbler hisses*

(BTW Icheb, that is the best quote EVER and I will be using it to describe my problems with having Asperger's forevermore.)
