What reminds you of Futurama?

[Reply #560 on:]

Today at work, I saw this lady get up from a table, and then I had a Bender moment. I sure was lucky nobody could read my thoughts on a cell phone.

"Wow, that lady's got a huge ass"

yesterday in my science class we were discussing cryogenics and all i could think about was futurama. of course, i'm too shy to say anything. then some bonehead yaps, "like in futurama!" then later we're talking about solutions to garbage, like taking it up to the moon, and once again another bonehead says "like on futurama too!"

Damn those non-OFGs!(Orginal Futurama gangstas)..Come to think of it, neither am I. But it's our show! 

[Reply #562 on:]

Dammit! We liked Futurama when it was underground and cool, before any Johhny-science-shoes laid claim to it! I demand my right to quote the show incessently and confuse people!

Hang on... random school people are talking about Futurama? Ooo, stomach flutters...

Like that time in Journalism, when the Tute person gave us a hypothetical situation to write a story about. It also involved cryogenics. The person next to me leaned out and said: "Ever hear of Futurama? This reminds me of it..."

[Reply #563 on:]

Yeah I bet none of them bothered to waste valuable time by posting spam on peel.

...

I made myself sad.

[freaksworth]Dude ... it's all our show.  It's like, all around us![/freaksworth]

Yesterday, I quit my piece of crap job ... and when I made the decision to do it, the first thing I thought of was Leela, when she quit her cryogenics councelling job in SP3K.  First reminder of Futurama that I've associated with lousy times, but it makes me feel a lot better.  Unfortunately, I don't have a dottering old relative to mooch off of.

[Reply #565 on:]

You can come mooch off of mine... of couse there is a weekly mooching fee.

 

[Reply #566 on:]

Somehow I doubt the small amount of money I have will cover airfare to NY ... And you intrigue me ... what is that weekly mooching fee?  SHould I just use my imagination?  Is it even really a "fee" per se?

To avoid going too off topic here ... I'm watching a Best Of Jon Lovitz SNL, and they just played a sketch he did with Phil Hartmann a little while ago.  That of course reminded me of Zapp, and Futurama in general ... and made me a little sad.

And every time I see a preview for that stupid looking movie "Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow", I can't help but think they swiped that famous line from Terry.

today at work my manager was doing the everyday mundane chore of counting change. But he insisted on whistling the globtrotter theme as he did it. It took everything i had not to laugh.

[Reply #568 on:]

@Zoiberg227: Money troubles, eh? Maybe you should take a cue from your namesake and sample some fine dumpster cuisine. Or you could mooch off of me. I'm sure my five bucks, lint, coffee punch card, and ticket stub could sustain the two of us.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks of Terry during every Sky Captain preview. Maybe I'm not even the only one who accompanies these thoughts with a terrible impression.

Today I saw mass amounts of smoke coming out of a manhole. My first thought was, "Huh. I wonder what the mutants are up to." Then I saw a sign that said "Universal Paper Box" and started thinking about The Farnsworth Parabox.

[Reply #569 on:]

At work last night I felt compelled to yell things in a very low voice to express frustration. Among two that popped up were "Quarters! A million allowances worth of quarters!" and "Bring me the lower horn!". However, the most common yell was a chanting boom of "MEAT!!!"

What would you like on your sandwich Kowalski?

I have a feeling they swiped a lot of stuff from Futurama.  "World of tomorrow?"  A one-eyed captain?  Puh-leaze.  Still that doesn't make it a ripoff unless we see it and prove it's one.

Oh, and this is EXTREMELY UBER-FREAKY.  In fifth grade (before Futurama aired), my teacher made us do this creative-writing assignment where we had to write and illustrate our own book.  Being a huge fan of science fiction even back then, I had started a bunch of stories, undecided over which one to do.  Last night, I came across a notebook with a couple of the unfinished stories in it, and I read over them.  This is the freaky part: In one of the stories I never finished, there's a list of city names, and one of the city names was... ZAPP!     I AM NOT KIDDING!  (Need proof?  Ask ELF; she's my sister and she saw it.  I could even scan it and show you!)

[Reply #571 on:]

She's not kidding!!! I saw it this morning...TOTAL FREAKTOWN!!!

You're not the only one.  This I know from personal experience [bender]wink wink[/bender].

@Athena: No kidding.  I realized that the other day (at my former place of employment) when the preview was playing for the umpteenth time on the gigantic TV there.  I thought ... they are so totally ripping off Futurama ... "World of tomorrow"?  A cycloptic captain (though for other reasons)?  Is there some sort of smart professor-like person there too, who's maybe a bit batty?

Originally I planned on not seeing this, but I might, to make the comparisons.  Besides, the cinematography looks alright, and Futurama (more accurately, the fans who originally said Futurama looks stupid or didn't like it at first) did teach me to give things I thought looked stupid a chance. 

[Reply #573 on:]

Stop knocking Sky Captain. Any movie that so gleefully leaps into the realms of cheese has gotta be good.

[Reply #574 on:]

My mother told me that she would give me a pittance for mowing the lawn a while back and when i asked her she said i'd get it when she died.....

[Reply #575 on:]

i get reminded of futurama whenever this certain ad comes on TV, because it starts out with Dun Dun, Dun Dun, just like the begining of the futurama theme.

[Reply #576 on:]

Im reminded of Futurama everytime i see the glass viles in my china cabinet. reminds me of my Fav ep. 30% Iron chef. "It plain old mineral water...with a few sponnfuls of PCP."

[Reply #577 on:]

Start at the reply "More great pics" and scroll down. You should know who I am.

I think it's LSD...
Number Nine, number nine...
For some reason, a friend and I were disscusing Halloween costumes.
"Oh! We could be random characters!"
"Yeah! That sounds good!"
"I'll be Jenny McNeil! Or better yet, Leela!"
"Ooh!"
"Or a female Fry..."
"Random, but still good!"
"Or YOU could be Jenny, and I'll be Leela dressed as Jenny"
"Cool!"
"I'll even glue a wiggly eye to my face..."

[Reply #579 on:]

At my school were doing special days leading up to Homecomming and one of them is going to be "Future Day" so I want to dress up as Bender.

pointless I know.

[Reply #580 on:]

I just saw one of those new Priceline commercials ... the ones with Leonard.  You know the one.  Now I keep thinking welcome to the head museum...

[Reply #581 on:]

One of my courses this semester is "Discrete Mathematics"  Every time I see it written down, I add "and Discreet" in my head.

(now with more discretion!)

[Reply #582 on:]

your right Young_and_Angry, it is LSD. some many drugs...

how about HIOR when bender says a prayer while dining at Elzar's: "10001010101000110001100010..."

everytime i get ready to say grace, i know prefer to translate it in binary. thats classic...programming.

[Reply #583 on:]

I think of Futurama every time I pass this place. I wonder if they've gotten any I.C. Wiener calls.

Quick spurt. I found my self saying "Oh, Your God" when i received shocking news this morning. great.

someone should find a panucchi's pizza somewhere...

[Reply #586 on:]

If I ever start a pizzaria, I'll name it that just for you, Barbados.

@TL: That's like triply-Futurama remindy - a ship that resembles the P.E. ship, the fact that it's a pizza place, and the name (since the P.E. ship is always crash landing somewhere).  Does Stephen Hawking eat there too?  Oh, and you should place a (valid, of course) order for a pizza under the name "I period C period Wiener".

[Reply #587 on:]

Maybe getting a little off the pizza thing here, or not, but I digress.

I live in Jersey. That should be enough.

And whenever I'm in Brooklyn, or in the city. Or in Jersey. Wow... I must be obsessed.

[Reply #588 on:]

Yeah, you are Local Jerseyan 

But I shouldn't say anything because whenever I'm in NYC I imagine it underneath of NNY  ...I actually referred to it as Old New York one time

[Reply #589 on:]

Those Jersey jokes never cease to amuse me...

"The dumps were full! Jersey was full!"

"Great apartment! What's the catch?"
"It's in Jersey."

And maybe it's my 20/200 vision topped with my intermittent refusal to wear glasses, but I could've sworn I saw a sign with "Hoboken" written on it during Luck of the Fryish. Am I mad? Am I blind?

[Reply #590 on:]

I think I've seen that Hoboken sign actually...but you gotta admit...the Jersey jokes are good

North Jersey, right?

There's apparently an Inez St. in my town. Never really noticed the name before, though I had gone down it.

[Reply #593 on:]

Just before I started cutting this off, I thought to myself, "Removing item..."  It must be much easier to chop off a robot's wang in the future, because it took me an hour...also it wasn't on a robot.

[Reply #594 on:]

Today I found out that my greatgrandmother's name was Leela.

But no, it's spelled Liela. I know that spelling ruined the moment for me too.

[Reply #595 on:]

For some reason, The Beatles reminds me of Futurama. Freaky.Unhealthy obsessions with both, perhaps?

[Reply #596 on:]

My science teacher sounds eerily like Morgan Proctor. EERILY. I should get a soundbite of her talking. It never fails to amuse me. 

[Reply #597 on:]

We were supposed to be discussing the ontological proof of the existence of God in my philosophy class, but we ended up spending about a third of the class talking about "Godfellas" instead.

[Reply #598 on:]

ok this is really freaky...(well not really)

im sitting in class and someones phone starts ringing. its the futurama theme ringtone! i was like whoa WTF. so i turned around and it was this hot ass asian chick and i was like "nice ringtone". she then proceeded to tell me her name was Amy...

[Reply #599 on:]
