The line that made you laugh the most...


Anyone want to share? Mine is pretty random, but for some reason this exchange between Leela and Zapp in Problem with Popplers made me laugh so much I had to pause the episode:

"I've brought a giant hideous ape that looks exactly like Leela!"
"That doesn't look ANYTHING like me... The hair's all wrong!"


I don't know WHY that was so funny to me, Katey Segal's and Billy West's delivery is just so perfect.


Anyone else? :)

This Is The Worst Kind Of Discrimination. The Kind Against Me! ~ Bender

Just Shut Up And Take My Money! ~ Fry

What? It's not even scratch and sniff? But if rich people think it's good, I'll buy it. One art, please! ~ Zoidberg

And that one became MEMORTALIZED, I love it

Leela: Is this safe?
Bender: It's not just safe, it's 40% safe!

And also: "I'm drunk, I'm grouchy, and I'm gonna eat this peanut butter. Wanna watch?"

But my favourite lines change from time to time

Off the top of my head, Zoidberg being interrogated in Roswell That Ends Well.

"Why did you come to Earth?"

"Not a day goes by I don't ask myself the same question."

That or "Let's get the hell out of here already! Screw history!"

But those would be just because I watched that episode last night. It'd take a long time for me to actually find my real favorite lines. Zapp's lines would probably be at the top of that list though.

"Off the top of my head, Zoidberg being interrogated in Roswell That Ends Well."

Oh yes!! I remember laughing really hard at another line in that scene, I think it's when Zoidberg says "Are you coming onto me?" and the man is disgusted, but Zoidberg gets all smooth and says "I'm not hearing a no......" hahaha :)

reply

I'm up for, whatever!

Bart Simpson doll: Eat my shorts!
Bender: OK. Mmm, shorts...

Also, on the Planet of Amazons:

Zapp: The spirit was willing, but the flesh was spongy and bruised...

reply

From 'Amazon Women in the Mood' (I'ma just copy and paste from the Quotes section of this website)

Fem-puter: After lengthy femputations, I, Femputer, have decided the fate of the men. Femputer sentences them to death...
[everyone gasps]
Fem-puter: By snu-snu!
Fry, Captain Zapp Brannigan, Bender: Yeah! Woo-hoo!
[Kif starts sobbing]
Captain Zapp Brannigan: [to Kif] What are you? Gay?

I know it's not politically correct -- no way that line would fly today -- but I'll be damned if it doesn't elicit a hearty chuckle from me each and every time I watch that episode.

Anyone here mentions Hotel California dies before the first line clears his lips.

reply

That's back when Zapp was hilarious, despite all of his incompetence.

You might still be able to get a line like that across today, it wasn't exactly phrased as an insult like many of the lines were in 90's tv.

True, but people who aren't paying full attention to the context might hear it and jump to the internet to accuse Futurama's writers of being homophobic, etc. in today's climate.

reply

Also true. Perez Hilton would be tweeting angrily all over that.

Provided he's still relevant.

reply

Pretty much anything Zoidberg says is quote-worthy. If only i could imitate his voice!


but my favourite is

Professor: "This is my Universal Translator. unfortunately so far it only translates into an incomprehensible, dead language"

Cubert: "Hello!"

UT: "Bonjour!"

Professor (angry): "Crazy Gibberish!"

notable:

Amy: "How do I look?"

Professor: "Like a cheap, French prostitute!"

Amy: "French???"

"He's dusted, busted and disgusted, but he's ok"

reply

Haha, yeah! And I like the other version of that joke they did too:

"Fry, you're a fat sack of crap"
"Sack???"

:D

If we hit that bull's eye, the rest of the dominoes will fall like a house of cards.. checkmate. -- Zapp Branigan.

Farnsworth: And Fry, you have that brain thing.

Fry: I already did!

I don't know why that was so funny. I could name so many more lines in the show but that is one of my favorites.
