We’ve been revisiting Futurama in the lead up to its Hulu return and I have to say the show is still one of the best of all time. The jokes still hit and the characters may even be MORE lovable than I remember. What are some of your favorite moments? (from the old show of course)
My favorite joke of the whole series comes from Bender in the first episode: “Okay, but I don’t want anybody to think we’re robosexuals. If anybody asks, tell them you’re my debugger.”
My favorite episode is Kif Gets Knocked Up a Notch for sure. So many great lines! The phrase “partially barfed-up heart” made me laugh so hard I had tears in my eyes. Not to mention this insane even-with-context line;
“Spare me your space-age technobabble, Atilla the
Hun!”My wife and I still refer to any character in a show who’s name we can’t remember or who shows up out of nowhere as “Scruffy the Janitor”. It’s such a perfect 4th wall breaking gag.
Scruffy died doing what he loved.
Turns page of nudie mag.
The season opener was hilarious. Good sign of things to come but this show is always so good at trying to make its return right before a writers strike.
I thought it leaned I to the meta a bit much, but that was also the case for the first episode when they came back the other times so I am still optimistic since the non-meta stuff was excellent.
Drop down, increase speed, reverse direction!
That whole what-if felt like a whole episode of jokes in 1/3rd of the time.Also the finglonger from the first anthology of interest .
