MEATBAGS: Favorite Futurama ep?

Post Reply New Topic

It might be corny and cliché, but I can't deny Jurassic Bark. I bawled myself to sleep after I saw it for the first time! They were so close to seeing each other again WHYYYYYYYYYYY... but anyway.

The writing in Lethal Inspection is impeccable, too. I LOVE Hermes-heavy episodes! I also use any excuse to talk like Barbados Slim... that mahogany god. They need to bring that character back.

If you're feeling ambitious, I'd also love to hear (technically read) about fellow fans' favorite B and C characters. It goes without saying Hedonismbot is genius.

I like all the Bender episodes, particularly the one where he speeds up his processing speed and becomes super-powerful, especially because of the end where he shows Fry and Leela their final fate. The whole show is filled with great moments, though. I also like the Hermes episodes and any episode where people sing.

As for B and C characters (I assume that means non-main characters?), I really like the Robot Devil. It seems like it would be hilarious to mess with him! That said, Calculon would be fun to mess with, too, but he's not as likeable.

I never want to see "Jurassic Bark" again. I hate it.

It's good, but I hate it.

Sorry! Yes, that's what I meant. In the industry, I think they use the words Primary, Secondary, and Tertiary, and the classifications are different than in my system. I like using ABC to mentally organize 'tiers' of characters from my favorite shows. For example, the Planet Express crew I'd all consider A characters. Zapp, Scruffy (another personal favorite of mine), and Kif are B characters. ("Besides, this place kinda feels like a B, you know?"- Fry *hahaha sorry for the quote interruption*) Hedonismbot, Turangas Morris and Munda, and Mr. Pannucci are C characters.

And Jory, I'm a bit of a masochist, I guess! Every once and awhile 'I Will Wait for You' by Connie Francis comes up in my music shuffle, and it always throws me off emotionally for a minute.

My favorite episdoe is when they talked about the robot devil

I guess other B characters would be Mom, Richard Nixon, Lrrr (RULER OF THE PLANET OMICRON PERSIEI EIGHT!! !! !), Ndnd, and Insanity Bot (that's his name, right?). I forgot about the Lrrr episode; it's really funny!

My favourite episode is 'The Devil's Hands Are Idle Playthings' - it has plenty of great lines from Robot Devil and Hedonismbot.

One of my favourite minor characters has got to be The Hypnotoad

Roswell That Ends Well is awesome.

I think Dr. Zoidberg is my favorite character. (\/)O,,,O(\/)

That episode is so sad at the end .

I'll say my favourite is 'Why Must I Be a Crustacean in Love', but I really found all of Season 2 was my favourite overall in the series. My favourite B character is Hattie McDoogal, that old kajigger with the lazy eye.

HAHAHAHA YES HATTIE!! ! My favorite Hattie episode is Future Stock. "ALSO THAT MY CAT SMELLS GOOD AND IS PRETTY.

Season-wise, I don't even know how I could pick a favorite... but the staff's DVD commentary on 'Why Must I Be a Crustacean in Love' is one of my favorites. The actors have a great time messing around with the Decapodian/old Jewish guy voices... you know you're obsessed when you quote the DVD commentary just as often as the show itself hahahaha!

"A Clone of My Own". That's the episode where they introduce Cubert and rescue Prof. Farnsworth from the Near-Death Star.

It's a difficult decision, but I'd have to choose The Sting. Surreal tear jerker of an episode with an excellent twist ending.

That episode is the last thing that made me cry.

I guess my all time favorite episode would be Godfellas--everything you need to know about theology right there,

"A Head in the Polls"

From the twilight zone parody at the beginning to Leela's "forgetfulness" at the end and all the American political satire and Nixon in the middle.

Oh yes, any episode with Nixon in it is awesome.

Since I started watching the show, every time I see a video of Richard Nixon I always expect him to say "Arrooo!" at the end.
