How has Futurama changed your vocabulary?

[Reply #40 on:]

Incidentally, I was doing the exasperated Kif sigh before Kif was.

Out of curiosity (and you don't have to answer if you don't want to), have you ever used this expression in bed before, and if not, would you ever consider doing it in the future.... Because I think that would be hilariously awesome.

The espression being the quote, or the sigh?

[Reply #41 on:]

Obviously the exasperated Kif sigh.  Incidentally, that was my favorite part about Kif in the original run, but it seemed like his character lost dynamic with the Amy/Kif relationship.  I don't necessarily feel that way anymore.

Hahaha! No, and don't give me any ideas.

Yeah, at first I wasn't sure I liked the Kif/Amy relationship. But it's definitely grown on me. I guess I just find it cute that Amy, who is notorious for liking bad boys, ended up with this meek, soft-spoken, squishy salamander of a guy.

And hey, as long as Zapp is his commanding officer, there will never be a shortage of exasperated Kif sighs.

[Reply #43 on:]

I have used Zapp's "another taste of sweet candy. Bam!" and Grandma Mildred's "How about these cookies sugar" in an intimate setting before.

[Reply #44 on:]

When that relationship first came into being, it seemed like it detracted from the more humorous aspects of each character.  Kif is hilarious to me throughout the first two seasons, as well as the whoracious, clumsy Amy.  Actually, despite Amy's promiscuous side, she seems like just a nice girl who enjoys having fun and goofing off.... although the promiscuousness is rather humorous.  Without it, I'd say she'd make a rather sweet and endearing friend.... like Nibbler.


Also.... you used a line that a grandma said in an intimate setting futurefreak?  Totally gross.... tell me more!

[Reply #45 on:]

Oh lord. Globviously I use terms and phrases a lot. It comes natural to me, Harald!
The quotes I use are too many to list.

HAHAHAHAHA

^That is the sound I made, in which the "a" sounds are short as in "hat." It was sort of a cross between "Hehehe" and "HAHAHA." It's my laugh for dirty things.

Why did I tell you that? No idea.

[Reply #47 on:]

That IS sort of a dirty laugh, when you put it that way. And a hilarious one.

My boyfriend and I have attempted to use Futurama pick-up lines on each other in the past, but we usually just end up laughing. One of our favorites is the always effective "I'm sooooo into you."

The pick-up lines in Futurama really deserve their own thread, if there isn't one already. There are so many great ones.

[Reply #48 on:]

I'm constantly told that my laughter is either dirty or just plain evil.

It's not true. It can't be true. I am innocent and virginal, like a little baby goat.

What? You don't believe me?

Bah. I might not be innocent or virginal, or even anything like a little baby goat, but I'm certainly not evil or dirty. And when I enslave the human race to fulfil my twisted sexual fantasies in my domed moon fortress, you'll all be forced to admit it seventeen times a day!

Hehehe, would it interest you to know I tried that laugh just now? It IS evil in a fun way haha. I think I've heard Fry do that laugh before.

And then there's the standard Muahahaha....

QM: What about the ol' "I find the most erotic part of the woman is the boobies" or "If I said you had a beautiful body would you take your pants off and dance around a lil"

TNUK: I'm pretty convinced that while you play all coy and innocent on the outside, on the inside you're pure evil.

[Reply #50 on:]

Those lines will never sound as hilariously inappropriate as they do coming from Kif.

[Reply #51 on:]

When people tell me they're about to go to the bathroom, when I obviously don't need to know, I often find myself saying "I'm going to allow this."

Also, I find myself saying/singing "Nobody Cares!" more and more these days.

[Reply #52 on:]

HAHA! "I'm going to allow this" is one of the funniest parts of that epi, closely following Fry's "WHOOOOO!"

[Reply #53 on:]

I think I may have mentioned it before, but I do use "Bite my shiny metal ass" every so often when I'm on the phone with my co-workers in California, one of whom is named Bender.

[Reply #54 on:]

I've taken to saying robut rather than robot as well as calling people chump & chumpette

[Reply #55 on:]

I once used the phrase "These balls are making me testy!" in a perfectly legitimate situation. I may have said it even if I hadn't watched Futurama, but you never know.

[Reply #56 on:]

I've definitely used "This is not a productive area of discussion" several times...

[Reply #57 on:]

Sweet Butt-Crust on a Cracker!

[Reply #58 on:]

Sweet Butt-Crust on a Cracker!

I... don't recall that particular line! I must be losing my touch.

By the way, I hope I'm not the only one who frequently recites Bender's definition of irony. It comes in handy so often. (Mostly because no one seems to use "ironic" in its proper context.)

[Reply #59 on:]

Yeah I don't recall it either. Apparently it's from the game (reply #32).

[Reply #60 on:]

Oh, well, there you go. I've never gotten around to playing it. It's not that I don't want to. It's just that most of the time, I forget about its existence.

I don't recite it, but whenever anyone says the word irony, the music and everything comes into my mind..

Correct! From Mom. 

[Reply #63 on:]

When I typo, and I read myself back, before I edit, I justify it as having a Leo Wong moment.

[Reply #64 on:]

chumps and chumpettes
Your [fill in] is bad, and you should feel bad!

[Reply #65 on:]

Somehow I suspected that must be a Mom quote.

[Reply #66 on:]

Your [fill in] is bad, and you should feel bad!

I've seen that so many times on the board. Awesome to the max.

[Reply #67 on:]

*BUMP*

I'm watching "Spanish Fry" right now, and am reminded of how much I enjoy Fry's line about dropping a barf. There's an expression I ought to use more often. (I also enjoy--and occasionally find myself using--his line about his nose being the "light of my face.")

[Reply #68 on:]

3 "words" I now use all the time: Spluh, Buh and Guh. Also, Zoidberg's "feel bad" line that Kornography brought up (I seem to use that one at work a lot, and use Amy's made up words to annoy my lady).

[Reply #69 on:]

I didn't know what the word 'incompetent' meant until I started watching Futurama.

[Reply #70 on:]

That's ironic.

[Reply #71 on:]

Alright, alright, that was funny, but I was only 9 at the time...

[Reply #72 on:]

Bender's "No thanks". From episode one.
And occasionally "No I'm doesn't.

[Reply #73 on:]

I pretty much quote as much as I can remember or whichever quote(s) is popular in my mind at the time. I often twist them, obviously, to match the situation. But a lot of situations don't require them to be altered.

[Reply #74 on:]

Incidentally, I was doing the exasperated Kif sigh before Kif was.

Out of curiosity (and you don't have to answer if you don't want to), have you ever used this expression in bed before, and if not, would you ever consider doing it in the future.... Because I think that would be hilariously awesome.

The espression being the quote, or the sigh?

I know it's a typo, but I think "espression" might find its way into my vocabulary from now on. It'll refer to someone conveying their thoughts through coffee.

[Reply #75 on:]

I don't use specific words or small phrases (from Simpsons, I say "yoink" a lot), but I definitely use quotes whenever I happen to think of an appropriate one.

I once got to say "you are technically correct, which is the best kind of correct" in a context that actually made perfect sense. I wish I could recall what it was.

I have to say that this actually made me laugh a lot.

[Reply #77 on:]

I do use some quotes and specific words etc. when sometimes in conversation. That's probably why my friends and family don't always understand me....
