i doff my cap to you good sir

[Reply #601 on:]

OK! Here's a tough one:
Name all of the stages that Zoidberg goes through in "Teenage Mutant Leela's Hurdles".
(Man, I'm throwing all crazy questions lately!)

[Reply #602 on:]

These aren't in order, and probably aren't complete: Zoidberg, cuttlefish, urchin, coral...

[Reply #603 on:]

Zoidberg, cuttlefish, trilobite, clam, lamprey, sea urchin, that squigly thing he was when Farnsworth set him down on the edge of the fountain, sponge/coral (when his brother Morty budded off from him), all of the above in reverse order back to Zoidberg.

[Reply #604 on:]

Wow!
Very detailed!
I applaud you!

[Reply #605 on:]

Yeah, I feel like I've been shown up.  Nice work.

[Reply #606 on:]

He's right. Nice work.

[Reply #607 on:]

Does anyone know what the "squigly thing" was supposed to be?  A hydra, perhaps?

Anyway, next question:

In "Space Pilot 3000" which of the regular characters is the second one to appear onscreen?

[Reply #608 on:]

Leela?

[Reply #609 on:]

Fry

[Reply #610 on:]

Fry is the first one to appear onscreen; I'm asking for the second one.

And no, it is not Leela.

Wait, I know! It's Nibbler!

(sorry for double posting, I just did it because it might look suspicious if my previous post was edited)

[Reply #613 on:]

okay if you are talking about characters that appera more than once in the series I think it is Mr.Panochi.

[Reply #614 on:]

Nibbler's shadow doesn't count.  (Nibbler isn't actually seen.)  Good guess, though.   

I wasn't considering Mr. Panucchi as a regular character.  I'll be more specific: by "regular character" I meant someone who works at Planet Express.

[Reply #615 on:]

Morgan
(even thought Morgan doesn't work at PE)

*Are you counting the opening sequence?

[Reply #616 on:]

Is it Zoidberg? I think we see him in a tube in the theme, maybe?

[Reply #617 on:]

If we're counting the tubes though, isn't Amy the first PE character in the intro?

[Reply #618 on:]

Quite possibly.

Indeed she is.   

Your go, Beamer.

[Reply #620 on:]

Ah, hell - I took so many guesses that I don't really deserve to ask a question. Next person who replies gets my turn.

[Reply #621 on:]

Alright. This is too easy, but anyhow, name the two main alcoholic beverages seen in Futurama. I'm talking specific brands.

[Reply #622 on:]

Lobraü and Olde Fortran?

[Reply #623 on:]

Told you it was easy 
Your go David.

Aren't the dots over the 'O'?

Nah I'm joshing you, I think that's probably the right answer.

EDIT: By god it was   

[Reply #625 on:]

I just had a turn.  Someone else go.

Nobody wants to take my turn?  Okay then, next question:

What does AAAAAAA stand for?

[Reply #626 on:]

Something along the lines of Austro-Africa-Antarctican-Amer-Asian Automobile Association. No doubt I've got the first five A's in the wrong order.

[Reply #627 on:]

No, you even got the order right.   

Go Prof. Wernstrum.

[Reply #628 on:]

And that was in no way pure luck.

In the same episode, what was the name of the petrol station on Mercury?

[Reply #629 on:]

Hg. The chemical symbol for Mercury

[Reply #630 on:]

I seem to remember it being "Hg's"

[Reply #631 on:]

Correct. I'll give it to catindisguise for being first and getting the answer basically correct.

[Reply #632 on:]

Awwwww.... It's okay, though... I didn't have a question, anyhow.

[Reply #633 on:]

Aww poor Ranadok. Ok, how many times do we gte a reference to Bender's mexcican heritage? What are the references and the episodes?

[Reply #634 on:]

I reckon its about 3 times.
Theres the bit where we learn that his real name is 'Bender Bending Rodriguez' in The Cyber House Rules.

Then theres the bit where his door falls off when he closes it. I cant remember which ep that was from.

And I think in Amazon Women in the Mood, Fry says 'But think of the Senoritas' And then Bender stands up and says somehting in Mexican.

 

[Reply #635 on:]

Bender's door falling off and him saying 'vamanos' are both in Amazon Women in the Mood.

I reckon there's only those 3.

Could be wrong though...

[Reply #636 on:]

"Raging Bender": The umpire announce that Bender was built in America's heartland, Mexico

Though his treatment of the Spanish language in "Bender Should Not Be Allowed On TV" was, oh shall we say, attrocious!

[Reply #637 on:]

I've only seen Bender's Mexican reference once - but then again, I live in Oz and we haven't seen them all  .

It's the one in Amazon Women In The Mood, where Zoidberg tries on the shells in his shell catalogue. Bender gets up and says, being Mexican, that he finds one of Zoidberg's comments about the Mexican shell offensive, and opens up his chest cavity to show something in Spanish written on the door. Then when they are going to go save Leela, Amy, Zapp and Kif, Bender initially disagrees but Fry says, "But think of all the senoritas!" and Bender says something like "Bom anos!" which I think means "Lets go!" or something (although I don't speak Spanish, so feel free to put me in my place  ). So only one mention up to the end of the third series, screening-wise.

It's "Hecho en Mexico," which means made in Mexico.

 

Bender says something like "Bom anos!"

It's "Vamanos."

 

which I think means "Lets go!" or something

It does.

[Reply #639 on:]

I just remembered another one - in The Cyber House Rules, Bender asks Leela whether she's going to the orphanarium reunion, and she says,

"No way, José-bot!"

I never realised there were so many!
