The second worst line is from the same episode. The ending line, fry saying "is there a burn warden within 10 feet from here"? Absolutely horrible. Come to think of it, this might be even worse than the amy line...
What in the spiky, sweaty, claustrophobic hell for child molesters is a "burn warden" ? Fry says burn ward - ie: a place where he can have the burns he got from making out with a radiator treated.

I really hate Leela's line in A Clockwork Origin that signs off Act I: "Oh, no! My sunglasses were in there!"I just don't find it funny.  I thought that line was okay; not brilliant, but acceptable. It doesn't really seem like a very 'Leela' thing to say though.
True. She should have said, "Oh no! My sunglass was in there!"

I think I can use a funny Bender line to explain the joy I find in that lame cat dance: "I don't know why but when I look down at their little faces, it makes me wanna puke! In a good way!"
There is a terrible Bender line in Bender's Big Score that I cannot stand, no-sir-ee: "I will always treasure it and immediately hawk it." I like the idea of the joke, but it was just so poorly executed...

Hermes: Don't you ever stop to think?
Fry: I never stopped to think about it...
I thought that was a great line.

I've really grown to dislike Leela's "Oh Lord." It was funny at first, but now she's used it too many times and she sounds a little more arrogant/superior each time. Also agree with the above Bender line posted by Scrappy. It shouldn't have made air.
I agree that Bender line was awful, but Leela's "Oh, Lord" is beautiful, every time.

I thought that was a great line.  Same here, but that's because it is a great line!... You're both lame. I don't think it's funny at all. It doesn't feel like much effort went into that spot, so they just threw in a cheap, forced joke.

It's actually a very typical Fry line, very much in his character...

While not really "lame" I find this line to be exceptionally forced and out-of-place for Futurama. The "I give up line" in ABPOG is the same.
Agreed. They just feel like easy, almost cutesy jokes (particularly that exchange between Fry and Hermes). "Lame" probably is an accurate description. The line: "Oh lord, he's made of wood!" gets me every time. It just feels like it's it the right place.
Also agreed. I love Leela's exasperation at the morons around her. (On that note--and to get slightly-but-hopefully-not-offensively off-topic: even though I think it's an otherwise forgettable and downright annoying episode, Leela may just be at her snarky best in "A Pharaoh to Remember." She's kind of the Only Sane Man on that planet.)

It's fairly new, compared to the others. I think Leela started saying it in Season 4, but moreso in Season 6. I must admit to watching a ton of Futurama DVDs lately, which makes it more noticeable.
Wanna bet? Actually, I can only find two examples prior to season 4.

According to the all-might Infosphere, Leela has used that line in 13 episodes, 6 of which are in Season 6. 2 are in the movies and 5 are in Seasons 3-4.

Its hard to pick one lame line. I love futurama but just like any other tv show, there are always lame lines but they make the show funnier. If you ever watch a show that tries to have a punch line joke in everything they say sucks. But when you have lots of lame jokes and then in them are some really funny jokes it makes it better!!!

But then some jokes that I find very funny someone else finds lame, so I guess no one can really say they are lame jokes. A lot of the lame jokes I have read in this thread I find funny! It all has to do with who you are really

"It's a dam!" "Damn!" It's a grate!" "Great!"  (I will admit that I chuckled at the line, but still...)

I thought the "I am lost!" was OK. I was zoning out a bit and need to re-watch both new eps a couple of times and enjoy more of the details.

Two from "A Farewell to Arms" that didn't much do it for me: Zoidberg's "I am lost!" when he interrupted Fry and Leela's would-be balcony lovin', and Bender's "Very near!" (accompanied by the crazy, bulging eyes) when he saw Mars approaching the PE building. The former was patently lame, and the latter was kind of cheesy and Saturday morning cartoon-y (if that makes sense).
I agree on the "Very near!". That whole "I feel she somehow is near me" was such an obvious setup for that lame joke... But Zoidberg's "I am lost!"? I loved that. It wouldn't work for any other character, but with him, it's actually believable.

When I saw the "I am lost" sequence, I recognized it as a silly confused Zoidberg joke, but I simultaneously thought of what a dark joke it could be taken as. Zoidberg is living in poverty on a planet far from his home world, away from others of his kind, unlucky in love, terrible at his job, and mostly abused by his coworkers when they notice him. He didn't intend for his life to work out this way, I'm sure.
