Best Ever Futurama Episode

[Reply #200 on:]

"Shippy" does come from "relationship,"  as does "shipper," which describes someone who wants characters to be in a relationship.  I think "shipper" came first and originated in X-Files fandom, among people who wanted Mulder and Scully in a relationship.  I think they devised all sorts of sub-categories too (yeah, I've been to some bad spots on the internet).  I think the terms sound sort of silly, myself.

*thinks of "X-philies" and starts throwing up*

[Reply #202 on:]

Ah, I finally know where "shippy/shipper" comes from.

[Reply #203 on:]

1. Luck Of The Fryish- Funny, and a great ending
2. War Is The H-Word- First episode i had seen in about 3 years and wat a great one
3. Fry & The Slurm Factory- funny episode, one of the best in season 1
4. Episode 2: The Series Has Landed- very funny good bender bits

In no paricular order:

Roswell that Ends Well
Amazon Women in the Mood
A Clone of My Own
Why Must I be a Crustacean in Love?
How Hermes Requisitioned His Groove Back

[Reply #207 on:]

"A Clone of My Own" is the only one I'd disagree with you there Lrrr (I'm just going to spell it correctly  ).  I'd replace it with "Love's Labour Lost in Space" and "Brannigan Began Again" but otherwise, I'd say you have a good list going.

[Reply #208 on:]

Umm... I really like "a Xmas story"

[Reply #209 on:]

I agree, X-mas story is great

[Reply #210 on:]

Very difficult to pick one. The reason I fell in love with Futurama the day it aired for the first time is the way they seamlessly integrate deep emotional content and strong social commentaries with nearly constant humor (i.e. the nebula in "A Flight To Remember" ), and pretty much all episodes are structured that way. But if I had to pick a few, it would be (in no particular order) Love and Rocket, Parasites Lost, Xmas Story, Time Keeps On Slipping, and Godfellas.

[Reply #211 on:]

HOW CAN YOU LIKE TIME KEEPS ON SLIPPING!!! i hate it! it drove me away!

on another note, i liked amazonian women in the mood (death by snu-snu OOORAH!!!, roswell that ends well, why must i be a crustatian in love (mostly the sauna scene), parts of others.

i could have liked X-mas story, and a tale of two santas, if the first one wasn't about a total and sac religious perversion of christmas where a satanic robot kills everyone, and the later, because of that first reason, and the robot is allowed to kill people still.

i also hate time keeps on slipping over all other crap shippy episodes, because of fate. i can deal with fry stupidness, but fate that is a whole nother thing. fate is what i srive to correct in my fan fics, in a cool a maner as possible though.

 

[Reply #212 on:]

My fav ever eps:

War is the H Word - need i say more
Hell is Other Robots - great musical ending

Luck of the Fryish/Jurassic Bark - amazing and emotional endings

I see that you're mad at some of Futurama's (best) aspects for religious reasons. Futurama is a brilliantly satirical cartoon. Part of that means beating on religion. If you enjoy satire, you should be able to laugh at yourself from time to time. If you can't/refuse to laugh at yourself and your own beliefs, then you have no right to laugh at others either. It's just satire, and cartoonified satire at that - deal with it!
Also, would you mind explaining this "fate" thing that you cite as your reason for hating the shippy episodes?

[Reply #214 on:]

Since when is Christmas a religious thing?

[Reply #215 on:]

"I'll stuff coal so far up your stocking, you'll be coughing up diamonds!"

How can you not love a charcter who would say that?

"Luck Of The Fryrish" might be the best episode, but "Xmas Story" is the most well-rounded episode, with just the right amount of everything.

[Reply #216 on:]

it did have the right amount of everything. i concur.

however, i fell as though a satanic robot that is 200 years old rampaging over the globe killing millions is not my idea of comedy. 200 years? you would think that they would have destroyed the damn thing by then!

sorry, but i really hate cristmas perversions. good thing i got some sense of retrobution by being the only fan fiction writter thus far that has done the destroy santa bit.

Too bad it matters less than Carrot Top's career.

[Reply #219 on:]

"The Luck of the Fryish" for me. Other greats include "Jurassic Bark", "Godfellas", "Where No Fan Has Gone Before" and "Leela's Homeworld". "Parasites Lost" is good too, but I do think it is a tad (just a tad) overrated, as I don't think it's as well written as those mentioned above........... just a tad......

"Too bad it matters less than Carrot Top's career."

LOL!

[Reply #221 on:]

I would say that the  best episode is yet to come. This we may only know when FOX finishes off the series.

when will may sweeps begin anyway? to find out when the last episode will air, assume a logical date for the may sweeps, then add two weeks to it, then pretend that FOX is predictable and add all the remaining episodes to that giving one week to each one. this gives us a rough estimate of the last episode airing....nine weeks after that may sweeps thing happens.

good luck on caring.

[Reply #222 on:]

My two favourites:-
Xmas Story, and Teenage Mutant Leela's Hurdles. But If I had to chose one only, then it would be xmas story. 

[Reply #223 on:]

Either -
Love's Labors Lost In Space or
A Flight To Remember or
Brannigan Begins Again!!

 I can not decide! Infact now I think of it Anthology of Intrest was great. oh and......!!

[Reply #224 on:]

Hands down no questiona ask
best episode ever is Problems with the Popplers

[Reply #225 on:]

After seeing 'the Sting' a few times, it's definately one of my all time fave eps 

[Reply #226 on:]

I'm making a list of all of 'em, rating 'em, and picking the best right now...

[Reply #227 on:]

my favs are

the farnsworth parabox
xmas story

[Reply #228 on:]

S1: "love's labors lost in space"
S2: "fry & the slurm factory" and "the problem with popplers"
S3: "parasites lost"
S4: "roswell that ends well"
S5(so far): so many good ones this season! i'd have to say "the sting" and "the why of fry" but "jurassic bark" was great as well.

[Reply #229 on:]

These are my favorite episodes from the production seasons.
S1:Fry and The Slurm factory
S2:X-mas Story
S3:The tale of 2 santas
S4 :(so far)The Sting

[Reply #230 on:]

Any with Brannigan plus luck of frirish, the two xmas ones, parasites lost.....

[Reply #231 on:]

Hmmm....
1) Where No Fan Has Gone Before
2) Roswell That Ends Well
3) The Problem With Popplers
4) Jurassic Bark (Man, I was sobbing like a little girl at the end!) (No offense meant, little girls.  I'm sure you're very tough and could beat me up 30 times over.)
5) Hell Is Other Robots (Love the robot devil, especially his girly scream.)  (Again, little girls, no offense meant.  Please don't hurt me.)

And although I don't think any of the episodes this happens in would rank in my top 5, I love whenever Clamps freaks out.

[Reply #232 on:]

Alot of the recent McSeason 5 episodes are some of the best i've seen.
The Farnsworth Parabox, The Sting, The Why of Fry and Jurassic Bark are some of those i'd quote as some of my favourite episodes, but don't ask me for an order, that'll be pretty hard to do.

*Looks for original post in thread and sees if it still stands*

[Reply #233 on:]

Either "Time Keeps on Slippin'", or "The Why of Fry".  McSeason 5's really picked up since "Less Than Hero", and I can't wait for Sky to air "The Sting"

[Reply #234 on:]

Jurassic Bark

[Reply #235 on:]

1. Devil's hands (haven't seen it, but i already know i'm gonna love it.)
2. The Sting
3. Love & Rocket
4. The Why of Fry
5. Leela's homeworld

[Reply #236 on:]

actually, most of those new episodes kinda suck, and how the hell can you know that you are going to love an episode that you haven`t even seen yet!

well, mabye you will see it, and then hate it, and possibly Kill yourself over it!

[Reply #237 on:]

(sorry for the double post, but my buttons arent working, i cant click on the edit, mail or whatever)

"HELL IS OTHER ROBOTS" IS THE GREATEST EPISODE EVER!

it has the best song, best robots, and the best Heads in jars ever on Futurama! (Beastie Boys!)

[Reply #238 on:]

hate a show so much i'd kill myself over it?
if i survived the slow strangling of the X-Files and the death of Spike, i think i can somehow work up the courage to go on...
 

[Reply #239 on:]

But Spike lives on via "Angel"! *kills self*

Also, I think Hell Is Other Robots is one of the worst episodes ever, so I'm scared that the series finale will be similarly crappy. But if that's the case, I can always ignore and pretend The Why of Fry is the season finale. Sigh...
