The Goof Thread

[Reply #720 on:]

Ok, now, the tapestry is different because it's made of shiny silk. When light shines on it, it reflects an image of itself across the room. All it has to do is bounce off a few mirrors, and woila.

The different faces on the bills are also easy to explain. You see, Tricky Dick Fun Bills are collecter's items, so Fry traded it in for real money. He made a profit of one dollar, which explains why he had one dollar left over after he paid.

Also, this is not really a goof, but I'd thought I'd post it anyway.



See anybody... Vulcan-like in the background?

Speaking of 'Star Trek', this grab is almost insulting...



Hmm? 

[Reply #721 on:]

Um...no. What am I looking for? Can you point it out?

[Reply #722 on:]

Eh-hem... Sorry 'bout that. I seem to have fallen victim to the false consensus effect...

Anywho...

[Reply #723 on:]

Are you high?

[Reply #724 on:]

Man, he that must have smoked 50 packs a day...

[Reply #725 on:]

Not entirely sure what's supposed to be insulting. I think it's a rather fitting tributy to DeForest Kelly and his most famous role. I mean, the characters nickname is 'Veins' for a reason.

[Reply #726 on:]

I'm trouble now...

No, I love how they included 'Veins' (  ) as a tribute! But doesn't anyone think that he looks... Not very well?

They did a much better job here.



I mean, as you can see, De and 'Veins' hardly look similar! (They had to make DeForest look more like himself, but did they have make 'Veins' look so old and grouchy?)

But then again, I'm picky about those things. Sorry if I offended anyone. 

PS: I noticed something. See those things on the wall?



Looks just like the Enterprise's sickbay...

Yes, they did. 

You see, Zapp is a highly exaggerated version of William Shatner/Kirk...he's uber-libidinous and uber-ego'd.  In a similar vein (sorry), Veins is a highly exaggeraged version of Bones McCoy...so he's uber-grouchy and uber-craggy-faced. 

Q.E.D.!

And remember, Melvar gave the actors back their youth, so they look like they did on the original series, so of course De has fewer wrinkles, just as George has his toned abs back, etc. (And on a side note...I caught a real early episode, "Where No Man Has Gone Before," a couple months ago, and suddenly understood why Leela ended up snogging Shatner...he was a babe back then.    )

Well, doy.... 

Xanfor, are you being falsely ingenuous to spark discussion again...? 

[Reply #728 on:]

I'd also say Zapp is simarly like Duff - man, and body, speech, and his love affair with himself.

[Reply #729 on:]

I wonder who the Spock character on the Nimbus is...

And WNHGB being an early episode? (You feelin' Ok?)

And don't torture us with that list again! 

[Reply #730 on:]

Mmmm, not to be harsh but I think you're thinking too much. Wet willies, screaming moist, low alcohol level? Since your capture is sans pointy ears and angled eyebrows I'd say if they were sneaking one in it would look a bit more like the below. Especially the ears.

[Reply #731 on:]

Even if you compare it to the young version of Nimoy seen in WNFHGB, there are several differences. Primarily that Nimoy have one honking big nose and larger ears than this guy.


As for Kelley: He did look pretty damn crouchy and old in "The Undiscovered Country", observe:

Kif, obviously. They talked about it in a DVD commentary or other I just can't remember what they said just now, curse my poor memory. If I remember/find what they said I'll edit this post.

Also from Wikipedia:

"In an early interview, show creator Matt Groening claimed that the inspiration for Kif partly came from Star Trek's Mr Spock, with the important difference that this version of Spock would detest his captain."

It was Star Trek's second pilot, of course it was an early episode.

Oh, wait, I think you thought I said "Where No Fan" rather than "Where no MAN...."

 

And don't torture us with that list again!

Anyways. Anyone got any more goofs?

[Reply #739 on:]

Apologies if this has already been posted, but in 'Why Must I Be A Crustacean In Love', when Zoidberg cuts Frys arm off, shouldnt the blood soak through his T-shirt, especially if its white...

[Reply #740 on:]

Well, Hookerbot, Zoidberg cut his arm Below the sleeve of his shirt, so it was possible that the little squirt that is seen would not get on his sleeve. As for the mountains of blood that should have poured onto the rest of his clothes, well, the writers have to keep this PG14 rating, so all that gore would have been unaccaptable. In the commentary you will hear that the writers were debating on whether to have any blood at all.

[Reply #742 on:]

Ah yeah, I listened to that today actually, and youre right haha..

oh yeah, I may be totally wrong o this one, and feel free to correct me...but in A Flight To Remember, Hermes has an Olympics shirt on..whats the year? (for some reason, 2016 comes to mind, but I dont know why) If it is my as my poor memory can recall..wouldnt that make hermes very old?

Unless its 2986, esh, I cant remember, sorry :S

[Reply #743 on:]

@ hookerbot- the shirt say's "earth" but a blimp above the stadium has "2980 Olympics" on it    .

I've got a goof:

Gee....Zoidberg's hand is broken.

[Reply #744 on:]

And he's got this weird label on his back... He really ought to register that shell...

(    )

@Shiny: Oh, yes, I'm sorry. I did misread your 'WNMHGB' comment. I thought you said 'WNFHGB'. See, you're so perfect I'm finding mistakes that don't exist! Unless... You edited you post! Arrrrrrggghhh!

[Reply #745 on:]

Was that a shot at me If so:
Mate, I'm not paying for a fucking program I can get for free, even if it stop's little girls like you from complaining about a tag in the corner.

I winked! I winked! This little girl is gonna go off in the corner and cry, because the big boy can't take a joke. Whaaaaa! Whaaaaa!

Incidentally, I have a number of programs I don't register either, so no bad feelings, Ok? I was just making a joking observation... And... And then...

Whaaaaaaaaa!...

[Reply #747 on:]

It was a nice joke. nd a nice catch too, man-wich.

Oh, I see now. I read the post differently.
And, because I have a little sister, you have no idea how many time's I've heard that.   

[Reply #749 on:]

If Fir trees are extinct (Xmas Story) then why, when Leela shouts 'trees down' are there fir trees?

Unless theyre synthetic...:S

[Reply #750 on:]

synthetic 

[Reply #751 on:]

Excuse me if someone else has pointed this out, but in the X-Mas Story episode, when they are saying that they are going to cut down an Xmas tree, if you look outside the window there are pine trees everywhere.  The trees that Leela says "Trees down!" to earlier were also evergreens.  Yet Farnsworth then says to have no idea what Fry is talking about when they chop down a palm tree.

[Reply #752 on:]

Look up hun 

[Reply #753 on:]

Going back to that point that HookerBot5000 made about blood on the shirt and such, I can understand why blood shouldn't be on the shirt when Zoidberg actually snips it off but when he ties the shirt over the wound it should had soaked through....(see framegrab below)

[Reply #754 on:]

Well maybe his self-inscest mutation wasn't just his lack of a delta brain wave. Maybe he also has a shitload of platelets that are normally folded up all tiny, but upon exposure to chiton they become full sized and stop most bleeding. That, coupled with the fact that his new future-shirt is is water and other liquid proof kept what little dribbles of blood were left from soaking through.

[Reply #755 on:]

Thats exactly what I was on about Dawoodz! 

Hmm...:| Maybe Fry just didnt bleed that much haha :P

Actually, no, he probably did, but then again, if you have a clean cut, then its more likely that you have lots more blood than a raggedy cut...and I spose Zoidbergs claws are kinda raggedy...:S

Well, I got that from a First Aid manual I read when I was 7, surely these things cant be wrong!

....unless it was an old edition, of course...

No. They're real. Pine trees actually do fold up and lie down when you say "Trees down" in the middle of a pine forest. If they fail to obey you it's because you're not saying it loud enough.

[Reply #757 on:]

Ohh, so THATS why...I was wondering if there was something wrong with me or something 

Then again, there arent many pine trees near me 

But Im coming to get them...and tell them to lie down!!

Originally posted by hangman3k:
In the 'Leela's Homeworld' episode, we find out that if a normal human comes into contact with the water in the mutant's sewer it causes them to mutate. However earlier in 'I second that emotion' when Fry is tied up, one of the mutants cuts him free, he falls, a splash is heard, followed by him spluttering, and yet he didn't mutate.

Sorry if anyone mentioned it before, but I just wanted to be cool.

I know this post is like, ancient but I thought of something. How can Leela stay above ground if she's a mutant?

[Reply #759 on:]

The Earthician government thinks she's an alien. And unlike mutants, she pays taxes, so they have no real incentive to get rid of her. To do so would be a waste of time, money, and resources. Not that that's ever stopped the Earthician government before, but still...

Oh, and if you don't buy that, think this: Leela has 'connections' with Space Hero TM Zapp Brannigan. Laws? What the heck are they?
