I agree, I don't think we should include deleted scenes in here, as quality control stopped them from becoming part of the shows in the first place. Oh, and here's the lamest line of them all: "Please don't stop playing Fry. I wanna hear how it ends."

I just read this whole thread from start to finish so Iam gonna bring up something from a few pages back... I wonder if the people who didn't like the grunka lunkas were unfamiliar with the Willy Wonka reference? If you don't know about Oompa Loompas, that whole thing would make no sense.
As for the lamest lines: In KGKUAK, when they're at the baby shower, and you hear the baby cry, and then see its Zoidberg.. that is soo stupid! And one really lame line: In TPWP, when Lrrr is going to eat Leela and she goes "Please! I just paid off my car!" That's so lame.

That's true, if you don't get the reference it's kind of obtuse, but still funny in a ridiculous way.

And if you do know the reference, it's the greatest thing ever.

*dances like a grunka lunka* Asking questions in school is a great way to learn, If you try that stuff here you might get your legs broke. We once found a dead guy facedown in the Slurm, It could easily happen again to you folks! So keep your head down and keep your mouth shut, Grunka-lunka-dunkety-dut! The only problem I had with them was the "Hardass." "I heeard that!" scene. I felt it was kind of unnecesary.

Originally posted by VoVat: Speaking of WTBR, I thought Fry's "Where?" lines (regarding Olympus Mons and the eye of the dust storm) were kind of lame. I just read this whole thread for the first time...after determining that most of people's complaints were about lines and gags I rather liked, I was gonna say that even the lamest lines on Futurama are funny, but VoVat got me here. Those two lines are lamelamelame, not the least bit funny, and not even in character (yo, writer! Fry is dumb, not blind! Sheesh). And I actually like "Buggalo" more than most fans...it sagged a lot in the middle, but I liked some of the bits on either end...

Originally posted by kiffan: also, I liked the grunka lunkas because I hated the movie oompa loompas, because I loved the book oompa loomas. Guess again. Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. Lame line... lame line... err... "Nine, Ten, a big fat hen. The names Bender."It may have been amusing, but it was certainly lame, let alone pointless.

On topic: "You're lonely and I'm lonely, but together, we're lonely together."
Katey made that line sound good, but whenever I think about it, it's just dumb.
I'll try to think of more lame lines...

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. Originally posted by Tongue Luck: I think she meant she liked the oompa loompas in the book but didn't like them in the movie. Not that the book and movie were called oompa loompas. Originally posted by Krokei: well, in that case there would be a word missing. Meet with. I'm afraid you're mistaken, Krokei, because then the subjects of kiffan's sentence would have become "movie" and "book," when clearly it was not the book or movie but the Oompa-loompas IN the book and the movie that she was discussing her feelings about. "Movie" and "book" were used to modify the subject "Oompa-loompas." It's as if I were talking about Aragorn in The Lord of the Rings, and said "I liked the movie-Aragorn more than the book-Aragorn." It doesn't mean I think either one is entitled "Aragorn," I just want to distinguish between the two Aragorns. "With" changes the whole meaning of the sentence. Grammatically, kiffan was perfectly accurate.
