[DontBeAfraid]

I like both but I own the entire futurama series... Like I actually had to buy the DVD's.

Its kinda sad it was so short lived. That and live action The Tick.

[mickydoolittle]

I admit I like both...Like DBA I purchased the Futurama series on DVD...it is indeed unfortunate that it had such a short run.

My fav episodes: Jurassic Bark (http://www.tv.com/futurama/jurassic-bark/episode/165480/summary.html?tag=ep_list;title;1) & Parasites Lost (http://www.tv.com/futurama/parasites-lost/episode/15024/summary.html?tag=ep_list;title;3) & Fry & The Slurm Factory (http://www.tv.com/futurama/fry-and-the-slurm-factory/episode/1546/summary.html?tag=ep_list;title;3).

[loganosborne]

Fry & The Slurm Factory
Like DBA and Micky im a big fan of both but I probaly do perfer Futurama a little more than Simpsons if had to choose and Fry and The slurm factory is my absoulte fav futurama episode.

[DontBeAfraid]

My fav episodes: .... Fry & The Slurm Factory.
What are those horrible little creatures?
Tell them I hate them!

OK! DBA! I'll tell them! Shit! :vbroll:

One of my favorite Futurama episodes is The Sting (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Sting_%28Futurama%29), I admit, I actually teared up after the first time I saw it.

[DontBeAfraid]

Ya, that one and the dog one... right at hte end... when it showed the dog waiting.. For a comedy it could really tell a sad story sometimes.

[grendel 13]

i don't know the name, but i caught the episode where bender is launched into space and an asteroid hits him and he becomes like a god to the inhabitants of the asteroid. that episode had me laughing my a$$ off.

[mickydoolittle]

jeebus DBA...I gave you the frickin' episode name right here (http://www.armageddononline.org/forums/showpost.php?p=125284&postcount=4)...or you can read below if you're still that lazy.

I like both, but probably have more Simpsons dvds than futurama.
(Futurama=0, Simpsons=15)
But thats only cos I record simpsons of channel 4 onto dvd!

[DontBeAfraid]

jeebus DBA...I gave you the frickin' episode name right here...or you can read below if you're still that lazy. Sorry, I thought it was obvious I was making a reference to your post....

I hear things in my head that I dont always type.... I guess I left out "the dog one(that MD mentioned)"... but ya it was very sad.

Professor. lava. hot.

[Skynet12]

Oh, yeah- that one was on 4 the other day- sad, but still good! Just shows how crap the security is around cryogenic centres, dont it!?


One of my favorite Futurama episodes is The Sting, I admit, I actually teared up after the first time I saw it.

That episode rules! It was kinda like that movie, Vanilla Sky- for a vast majority of the episode, you are actually watching a dream, and only at the very end do you find it out! Talk about reversed dramatic irony!


...and 3 spoonfuls can kill.
Its all over the place! Just as you think its over, it happens and then the next thing happens!

[Perfectionist]

I can't believe people buy the DVD's to Simpsons, Futurama or Friends or whatever ...... all these SitComs are constantly being repeated on a dozen different channels at any one time !!

[Skynet12]

Tell me bout it- BBC2 showed seasons 1-8 19 times!! And as for c4 showing season 2-5 8 times in less than 6 months-?????WAKE UP PEOPLE!!

yeah you can see them all the time on t.v. but when were all 80 years old these things will be collectors items. you'll see me on the antiques road show displaying my dvd sets of the simpsons and tales from the crypt, my jaw will drop to the floor when the appraisor tells me that they could fetch up to a trillion yen( after the worlds been taken over by the chinese of course,lol).

[Skynet12]

Dunno if the chinese would appreciate it, though- you must admit, It is a great show----------WHEN IT ISNT ON 73647326489236598326598719857 TIMES A FORTNIGHT!!!!!

True ..... but by then nobody will want DVD's as there will be 3D holographic versions !! Every time a new format comes out, the publishers love it cos they get to sell the same old stuff all over again !!

PS - The Chinese currency is yuan .... yen is Japanese :Bott:

thanks for the clarification. and also just because something is obsolete doesn't mean it is worthless, i mean why the hell else would some one pay 2 million for a baseball or why do celebrities buy jeans with holes in them that are more expensive than jeans without holes in them. as it stands dvd's are already obsolete, the bluray disc will be it's replacment, and it will start with the release of the ps3.

[Demonskates]

I always liked the simpsons better,but there are a few really great futurama episodes for sure.

True ..... DVD's and DVD Players will probably become future antiques much like old Vinyl records !! :D

Not so sure about BluRay automatically becoming the next standard though, as HD-DVD is gonna fight long and hard to kick Sony's ass ......

Personally, I cant wait for HVD and Protein Discs : :headbang: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holographic_Versatile_Disc

wow! i hadn't even heard of these things, it just goes to show how crazy the technological advances are becoming, before i even have the chance to try out "the next best thing" it's become obsolete by "the next better thing." oh well.

[Perfectionist]

There has to be a point where technology reaches a limit and cannot be improved any further ..... ??

[grendel 13]

There has to be a point where technology reaches a limit and cannot be improved any further ..... ??

that's what i've often wondered. i mean what the hell are we gonna end up with a tiny little dot that can do anything we want it too?

[Perfectionist]

Nanotech !!

Hopefully one day there will be a machine like a Microwave Oven that can "build" anything you want right down to the last atom !!

We'd all have Rolex watches and Diamond rings, Cups of Coffee, Big Macs and anything else we could ever want !!

Huge Industrial Nano Builders would make all the Cars and Ships etc etc .....

Wonder how this would effect the Global Economy ......

[grendel 13]

hell yeah! i have high hopes for nanotech, i wish i had the money to invest in it, as in i wish i could control a labratory that specialized in nanotech, if i did i would build a suit like ironman, lol. than i would began my quest for world domination, bwuhahahahahahahaha!!!

[Demonskates]

that's what i've often wondered. i mean what the hell are we gonna end up with a tiny little dot that can do anything we want it too?
Id buy one!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!! :2thumbs:

[Skynet12]

nah- id rather an atom that invisibly does it all- then you woulnt even have a dot!

[Perfectionist]

Oh and don't forget Genetics ..... one day we will be able to choose what kind of children we have, make them immune to every disease, as fit as pro athlete's, have incredible IQ's and amazing talents in arts and science etc etc .....

And best of all ..... maybe we could "grow" our own wives/girlfriends !!

It would be so sweet !! Probably could be done on a website where you could choose your woman to have the Legs of Cameron Diaz, Babylons of Pam Anderson etc etc !!

A genetic herem?!Thats brilliant! :2thumbs:

[Perfectionist]

Hell yeah !!

On a less sexually exciting note ..... just think we could have an entire race of mankind which have the intelligence of Einstein/Newton/Plato/MichelAngelo etc etc ..... they will themselves make huge leaps forward in science and technology .....

Maybe the only real way that humanity can make that next step in evolution is by the proper (and moral) use of Eugenics .....

[mickydoolittle]

Leela: [to Fry] Well at least here you'll be treated with dignity. Now strip naked and get on the probulator.

[mickydoolittle]

Bender: Bite my shiny metal ass.

[mickydoolittle]

Bender: Fine. I'll go build my own lunar lander! With blackjack! And hookers! In fact, forget the lunar lander! And the blackjack! Ah, screw the whole thing.

[mickydoolittle]

Zapp Brannigan: April thirteenth…point two. We have failed to uphold Brannigan's Law. However, I did make it with a hot alien babe. And in the end, is that not what man has dreamt of since first he looked up at the stars? [pause] Kif, I'm asking you a question!

[mickydoolittle]

Professor Farnsworth: They say madness runs in our family. Some even call me mad! And why? Because I dared to dream …of my own race of atomic monsters! Atomic supermen with octagonal-shaped bodies that suck blood out of... (Walks out of room, rambling.)

[mickydoolittle]

Telephone voice: Collect call from…
Bender: I'm not giving my name to a machine!
Leela: I'll accept.

[mickydoolittle]

Video Narrator: New York City: The year 2000. The most wasteful society in the history of the galaxy and it was running out of places to empty its never-ending output of garbage. The landfills were full. New Jersey was full.

[mickydoolittle]

{After watching an online movie on the solution to the garbage problem in New York.}

Fry: Wow, you got that off the Internet? In my day, the Internet was only used to download pornography.
Professor Farnsworth: Actually, that's still true.

{In the movie}

Female Scientist: Now that the, uh, garbage ball is in space, Doctor, perhaps you can help me with my sexual inhibitions?
Male Scientist: With gusto.

[mickydoolittle]

Mayor Poopenmeyer: I now award you with the Academy Prize, which was confiscated from Dr. Wernstrom after it became apparent that he was a jackass.

[mickydoolittle]

Bender: Forget good and evil. From now on I'll just be lovable old Bender.
Leela: Could you try being just a bit less evil than that?
Bender: I don't know, you think you could survive a fall from this height?

[mickydoolittle]

Leela: Oh, god…not Zapp Brannigan.
Dr. Zoidberg: You know Zapp Brannigan?
Leela: Let's just say we crossed paths…
Bender: Was that before or after you slept with him?

[mickydoolittle]

Countess de LaRoca: Bender, you risked your life to save me!
Bender: And I'd do it again! And perhaps a third time! But that would be it.

[mickydoolittle]

Fry: Back in the 20th century we had no idea there was a university on Mars.
Professor Farnsworth: Well, in those days Mars was a dreary uninhabitable wasteland much like Utah; but unlike Utah, Mars was eventually made livable.

[mickydoolittle]

Professor Farnsworth: But what about your super intelligence?
Gunther: When I had that, it was too much pressure to use it. All I want out of life is to be a monkey of moderate intelligence who wears a suit. Thats why I've decided to transfer to business school.
Professor Farnsworth: Noooooooo!

[mickydoolittle]

Zapp Brannigan: We're all from different cultures here. Some of you are white, and some of you are black. You're brown. And you're silver. But I don't care if your skin's red, or tan, or Chinese. You're all going to have to learn to die together.

[mickydoolittle]

Zapp Brannigan: If we can hit that bull's-eye, the rest of the dominoes will fall like a house of cards. Checkmate!

[mickydoolittle]

Professor Farnsworth: Who are those horrible orange creatures over there?
Glermo: Why, those are the Grunka-Lunkas! They work here in the Slurm factory.
Professor Farnsworth: Tell them I hate them.

[mickydoolittle]

Fry: My God! What if the secret ingredient…is people!?
Leela: No, there's already a soda like that. Soylent Cola.
Fry: Oh. How is it?
Leela: It varies from person to person.

[mickydoolittle]

Bender: Hey, I got a busted ass here, I don't see anyone kissing it!

[mickydoolittle]

Zapp Brannigan: So, a plot to assassinate a weird looking alien with scissors. How very neutral of you. But everybody knows that rock beats scissors. But paper beats rock. And scissors beats paper! Kif, we have a conundrum.

{Kif sighs.}

Zapp Brannigan: Search them for paper. And while you're at it, go get a rock.
Kif: Why?

[mickydoolittle]

Bender: Game's over, losers! I have all the money! Compare your lives to mine and then kill yourselves!

[mickydoolittle]

Linda: Is there anything sadder than homeless robots at Xmas? Only drowning puppies, and there would have to be a lot of them.

[mickydoolittle]

Bender: Shut the hell up and get to the point!

[mickydoolittle]

Professor Farnsworth: Everyone get in bed with me. I have something to show you.

[The Planet Express staff climbs into the bed.]

Professor Farnsworth: Feast your eyes…on this!

[Everyone gasps.]

Leela: It's beautiful!
Amy Wong: And huge!
Fry: Can I touch it?

[mickydoolittle]

Bender: Well, obviously I need floozies.

[mickydoolittle]

Fry: Well, thanks to the Internet, I'm now bored with sex. Is there anywhere that panders to my lust for violence?

[mickydoolittle]

Hermes: Life… death… either way I'll be confined to a tiny cubicle!

[mickydoolittle]

Fry: Are you crazy? I can't swallow that.
Professor Farnsworth: Well, then good news! It's a suppository.

[mickydoolittle]

Leela: Depth at forty five hundred feet. Forty eight hundred. Fifty hundred. Five thousand feet.
Professor Farnsworth: Dear Lord, that's over 150 atmospheres of pressure.
Fry: How many atmospheres can this ship withstand?
Professor Farnsworth: Well it's a spaceship, so I'd say anywhere between zero and one.

[mickydoolittle]

Cop: He's making a break for it. Get him!
Fry: No, no, I was just picking my nose.
Cop: He's picking his nose. Get him!

[mickydoolittle]

Bender: They're tasty, right? Let's call them Tastycles.

[mickydoolittle]

Bender: I can't keep running people over. I'm not famous enough to get away with it.

[mickydoolittle]

Bender: No! I want to live! There's still too many things I don't own!

[mickydoolittle]

Zapp Brannigan: We need rest. The spirit is willing, but the flesh is spongy and bruised.

[mickydoolittle]

Professor Farnsworth: Listen, this is gonna be one hell of a bowel movement. Afterwards he'll be lucky if he has any bones left.

[mickydoolittle]

Fry: It's like a party in my mouth and everyone's throwing up.

[mickydoolittle]

Racetrack PA announcer: And the winner is number three, in a quantum finish.
Professor Farnsworth: No fair! You changed the outcome by measuring it!

[mickydoolittle]

Leela: {to Bender} That aerosal head spray makes your antenna smell nice...
Bender: Thank you.
Leela: ...but it's doing long-term damage to the planet.
Bender: So? It's not like it's the only one we've got.

[mickydoolittle]

Fry: But you're better than normal: you're abnormal.

[mickydoolittle]

Martian Chief: The time for stupid statements is over.

[mickydoolittle]

Bender: Don't kill me yet! I'm starting to come down with Stockholm Syndrome…handsome.

[mickydoolittle]

Bender: I guess if you want children beaten, you have to do it yourself.

[mickydoolittle]

Cubert: Hey, Leela, help me apply these flame decals I got in my cereal. They'll make the ship go faster.
Leela: And what's your scientific basis for thinking that?
Cubert: I'm twelve.

[mickydoolittle]

Dr. Zoidberg: It's toe-tappingly tragic!

[mickydoolittle]

Fry: Drugs are for losers, and hypnosis is for losers with big weird eyebrows.

[mickydoolittle]

Professor Farnsworth: Oh dear! She's stuck in an infinite loop, and he's an idiot! Well, that's love for you.

[mickydoolittle]

Fry: My only other dreams are to be invisible in a chocolate factory and to date a celebrity.

[mickydoolittle]

God: Bender, being God isn't easy. If you do too much, people get dependent on you, and if you do nothing, they lose hope. You have to use a light touch. Like a safecracker, or a pickpocket.
Bender: Or a guy who burns down a bar for the insurance money!
God: Yes, if you make it look like an electrical thing. When you do things right, people won't be sure you've done anything at all.

[mickydoolittle]

Fry: So, what's the deal? You guys don't believe in robot Jesus?
Jewish Robot: We believe he was built and that he was a very well programmed robot, but he wasn't our Messiah.

[mickydoolittle]

Bender: I'll vote it down like a raise for schoolteachers!

[mickydoolittle]

Bender: Quit doing the right thing, you jerk!

[mickydoolittle]

Bender: Honey, that dress was ruined the minute it went on you. That's what I'm talking about.

[mickydoolittle]

Bender: Oh, wait, you're serious. Let me laugh even harder.

[mickydoolittle]

Bender: Okay, I like a challenge.

[mickydoolittle]

Leela: I feel like I just went ten rounds with Mighty Thor.
Fry: I feel like I was mauled by Jesus.

[mickydoolittle]

Fry: Wow! A superpowers drug you can just rub onto your skin? You'd think it would be something you'd have to freebase.

[mickydoolittle]

Bender: Have you ever tried simply turning off the tv, sitting down with your children and hitting them?

[mickydoolittle]

Civil Defense Van: You've got a degree in baloney!

[mickydoolittle]

Professor Farnsworth: Oh, I don't have time for this. I have to go and buy a single piece of fruit with a coupon and then return it, making people wait behind me while I complain.

[mickydoolittle]

Fry: Why am I sticky and naked? Did I miss something fun?

[mickydoolittle]

Bender: I'm so embarrassed. I just wish everybody else was dead.

[mickydoolittle]

Bender: I'm sorry, guys. I never meant to hurt you. Just to destroy everything you ever believed in.

[mickydoolittle]

Bender: I say the whole world must learn of our peaceful ways…by force!!

[mickydoolittle]

Fry: It's like that drug-trip I saw in that movie when I was on that drug-trip.

[mickydoolittle]

Bender: I don't blame myself, I blame all of you!

[mickydoolittle]

Nibbler: Not only can I talk, I can pontificate!

[mickydoolittle]

Bender: {yelling} Your best is an idiot!

[mickydoolittle]

Bender: Who are you, and why should I care?

[mickydoolittle]

Professor Hubert Farnsworth: You must take him to his ancient home world, which will soon erupt in an orgy of invertebrate sex.
Fry: Oh baby. I'm THERE.
Leela: Fry, do you even understand the word "invertebrate"?
Fry: Nope, but that's not the word I'm interested in.

[mickydoolittle]

7-11 Clerk: If for any reason you're not satisfied with our service, I hate you.

[mickydoolittle]

Al Gore: If we don't go back there and make that event happen, the entire universe will be destroyed... And as an environmentalist, I'm against that.

[mickydoolittle]

Bender: Everybody was doing it... I just wanted to be popular

[mickydoolittle]

Bender: This is the worst kind of discrimination. The kind against me.

[mickydoolittle]

Fry: All right. It's Saturday night, I have no date, a two-liter bottle of Shasta and my all-Rush mix-tape... Let's rock.

[mickydoolittle]

Lrrr: Mmm, this jerked chicken is good. I think I'll have Fry's lower horn jerked.
Bender: It's used to it. Woooo!

[mickydoolittle]

Lrrr: This human's lower horn is one of God's creatures. A living thing. And all living things, large and small...
Bender: In this case, small. Woooo!

[mickydoolittle]

Leela: Well, Fry, it looks like you get to hold on to your lower horn.
Bender: As usual. Woooo!

[DontBeAfraid]

Hey, you gotta get the new dvd if you dont already own it! Its seriously good.

[mickydoolittle]

Lrrr: Surely you know McNeal. She is an unmarried human female struggling to succeed in a human male's world.
Captain Zapp Brannigan: Maybe that's just her excuse for being incompetent.

[mickydoolittle]

Bender: Comedy's a dead art form. Now tragedy, that's funny.

[mickydoolittle]

Bender: Bite my glorious golden ass!

[mickydoolittle]

Captain Zapp Brannigan: Teenagers all smoke, and they seem pretty on the ball.

[medicvet]

Bender: I say the whole world must learn of our peaceful ways…by force!!


You sure that one isn't a Bush quote?

[Burningdownbabylon]

Simpsons all the way
