ok don't get mad at me

I'm not mad, just showing that I wasn't yanking your chain in the first place.

No idea if this has been brought up before (i searched for a while but didn't find it), but on 'a flight to remember' when bender is holding up the countess on the front of titanic how did she manage to fall down and into the deck? They were both outside the air bubbles and basically in space - ie zero grav.

Also, when bender jumped and broke through the escape pod seal to grab on, there was no explosive de-compression which would mean that there was no air in there however the rest of the planet express crew were standing there just before they got into the pod

and When bender and the countess are making out in that hover car that is clearly turned off, it is hovering; but in 'put your head on my shoulder' we see that when a hover car is turned off it stops hovering.

Like i said, i have no clue if anyone has pointed these out before. I seached but didn't find anything.

Partial credit.
Whatever is simulating gravity on the Titanic, evidently is not constrained to areas with atmosphere.

Good catch. I noticed that too.

Not quite.
In “The Honking,” we see parked hover-cars that are still hovering.
Amy’s car was out of fuel!

I award you major brownie-points for searching at all! 

[Reply #486 on:]

I always do a search before posting news, goofs, or starting new threads. 95% of the time a similar thread already exists, whatever news i might of found is ancient or the goof i was going to post was found 20 minutes after the original airing. I do make an effort to reduce board congestion!

Edit: After just watching Love and Rocket again, i did notice some minor nitpicks.

When the ship turned off the gravity, how come fry and leela both shot upwards and hit the ceiling, while the hearts gently floated upwards.

How did so many candy hearts infiltrate the ships brain room? There were none in there when they entered, and even if they had left the door open behind them, i don;t think so many would have found their way to that room.

Even though the PE ship was so close to the quaser it didn't get sucked in, however when it was at a greater distance and released the candy hearts, they all got sucked into the quaser.

When the PE ship turned off the oxygen, 1 of 2 things happened. Either all the oxygen was removed, or the fresh suppy was cut off. If all the oxygen was removed, i doubt those face masked would of formed a tight evough seal to work effectivly or at all, and i don't think fry would of been able to take it on and off to eat the candy in the brain room. But if the PE ship just gut off the fresh supply, why did they start choking the minute it was switched off

When the PE ship rang the doorbell to fry/benders apt. why did fry walk to the window instead of the door. After all he wasn't expecting the PE ship to be there: "Planet express ship? Is that you?"

Like i said, theyre only nitpicks and most of them are explained by "how else would they have done it?" But i thought i'd post them anyway

[Reply #487 on:]

1 thing when Fry + Miccel frezze themselfs he says he misses year 3000 he says brains flew through space its the seson before he tackles the brains

Gravity doesn't depend on atmosphere, only mass (or in the case of the Titanic, an artificial gravity source). Whether Bender and the Countess were in empty space is irrellevant, they were still within the gravity field of the Titanic. Compare to the Apollo astronauts, who still were affected by the Moon's gravity even though the moon have no atmosphere.

 

Also, when bender jumped and broke through the escape pod seal to grab on, there was no explosive de-compression which would mean that there was no air in there however the rest of the planet express crew were standing there just before they got into the pod

Maybe the immense gravity of the black hole pulled the air molecules to the front of the ship only seconds before Bender crashed through the hatch.

[Reply #489 on:]

Yeah, something funky was happening to the escape pods near the end there.  Witness the Professor's swirly face.  ("I don't feel so well." )  So some sci-fi kajigger could easily explain the lack of decompression, as well as any other goof at that point.

Although it doesn't need to, here.  Bender and the Countess being robots, they have little need of air.  And as they have much greater masses than your ordinary human, any explosive decompression would have had minimal effects on their momentum.  So the air may well have exploded out, but (air being invisible) we saw no effects on the robots from it.

(It's all part of the "It's not magic, they're futuristic robots!" explanation.  And a teeny bit of physics.)

[Reply #490 on:]

Perhaps the domes are made of Tonka-tough plastic wrap and all the air pressure escaped through the hole Bender made when he jumped. The escaping air then helping to propel them toward the escape pod. Of course you wouldn't hear it in space or someone forgot to tell the sound effects guy.

[Reply #491 on:]

Apparantly in Anthology of interest 2 one of the space invaders says something in a weird language, and when played backwards it actually says "What does a guy have to do to get some pants around here?"

Can anyone confirm?

Edit: After not being fucked searching through the entire goof thread, or individual devils hands threads, im going to post anyway, even though it seems like a fairly obvious one: In TDHAIPT on the tv commercial for fry's records, it shows him holding his holophoner striking a pose, and he has both his normal hands, it then cuts to a show of him playing the holophoner and he has the devils hands, then it goes to the shot of the record cover, and he has his normal hands back again.

[Reply #492 on:]

The album designer must have used Photoshop v1036.31 pasting an old pic of Fry, probably taken by Bender, on a new background. Might have 'Shopped some clothes on him too, since Fry was probably just wearing his underpants.

[Reply #493 on:]

But he was still holding the holophoner, and fry kept that a secret until bender walked into his room.

[Reply #494 on:]

yea

accutly in the episode bendless love he sticks a magnet on his face and dosent sing

[Reply #496 on:]

Most likely. I think people think the magents make him sing. They just goof up his inhibition chip. So if he is in a situation where he doesn't feel inhibited (like alone with Fry) he doesn't have a problem singing.

He also sings when he's blind stinking sober
like Birdbot of Icecatraz...

[Reply #497 on:]

Not only does Bender sing when magnets are attached to his head.  He also has a secret dream (which usually only shows up when his inhibition unit is fritzed with -- or he's blind stinking sober) to be a folk singer.  As Bender says in The Series has Landed:

Bender: Yes. I guess a robot would have to be crazy to wanna be a folk singer.

[Reply #498 on:]

I've just noticed something. In Luck Of The Fryrish, Fry's dad Yancy said that his father was named Yancy, and his father's father, and so on. Fry's grandfather was thought to be Enos before it was found out that Fry was his own grandfather (Rosswell That Ends Well). If Mildred gave birth to Fry's father and Enos was thought to be the father, how can all of the male Fry's be called Yancy? I think this means that Fry impregnated his grandma with his mother, which would explain how Fry's mother has the same ginger hair as him.

What do you think?

[Reply #499 on:]

Fry's dad never said his father (ie. Enos and/or Fry) was named Yancy. This is the actual quote (taken from The Neutral Planet):

"Son, your name is Yancy, just like me and my grandfather and so on. All the way back to minuteman Yancy Fry, who blasted commies in the American Revolution."

So essentailly all firstborn male Fry's have been named Ynacy, except Fry's paternal grandfather.

[Reply #500 on:]

Just thought I'd post this here. I was watching Brannigan begin again and saw this in the bottom left corner (cirled in red)
Any ideas on what it was supposed to be?

wow nice catch
wonder what it is

[Reply #502 on:]

Looks like a 5 pm "I'll fill that in tomorrow" cell by the tweener.

Or the high gravity sucked the color right out of it.

[Reply #503 on:]

It looks like the broken control from the hover dolly that just didnt get coloured in. On button is for up and on button, being held by a peice of wiring, is for down.

[Reply #504 on:]

Right you know on Time Keeps On SLippin' where Prof and Bubblegum are looking out of the window and see the kids moaning about how elderly people get money support then time skips and they are really old well then how come the prof hadn't died during that long time and bubblegum etc looking older??????

[Reply #505 on:]

i think the prof and bublegum were talking to each other at the time how random spots were leaping forward in time like not every one just those twokids for example

[Reply #506 on:]

"Isolated spots are jumping years at a time"

[Reply #507 on:]

This has probably already been brought up but i'll say it anyway.

In "I , Roomate" when fry and bender are thrown out of the PE HQ because of fry's living arangemnts , Hermes says "We'll bill you for the couch" But notice his lips dont actually move. The line was added at the last minute for that extra laugh in that shot.

[Reply #508 on:]

They mention that on the commentary, which is where you probably picked up that mistake. But if you didn't here to commentary then good eyes and ears.

[Reply #509 on:]

this probably has had a thread before, but i figured how could one post hurt.

in bender gets made- the planet express ship is crashed into the PE building. but when the scene cut happens its inside the hangar.

[Reply #510 on:]

That's a good catch I would have never noticed it.

[Reply #511 on:]

I know I'm a total ametuer and you can all laf at my inferior mind but how do u search threads?

dunt matter figured it out!

please share it with us, i like being nosey!! 

[Reply #514 on:]

wha?

[Reply #515 on:]

ignore me

[Reply #516 on:]

I found a mistake. In the garbage episode, when Linda and Morbo are reporting Linda says "Makes me glad we're in LA"

But in Mothers Day when all the robots are going wacko on the street you see Linda and Morbo getting robbed by two cameras.

[Reply #517 on:]

what I don't get what your saying.

[Reply #518 on:]

In the episode "A Big Piece of Garbage" Linda and Morbo are reporting that the garbage ball will hit NNY. Then Linda says "Makes me glad we're in LA"

But in Mothers Day when all the robots are going wacko on the street you see Linda and Morbo getting robbed by two cameras.



And it's not a shot in LA because a fire truck goes past them and the camera follows it bringing the focus on the Planet Express building.

Check it out. Thank me later.

I'll tell you what. I'll accept their apoligy when they kiss my ass, which I don't have.

[Reply #519 on:]

News shows often go "on location" in the present. Considering that the moon is less than Fry's countdown away, going LA to NNY would be in an eye blink.
