I believe that Futurama is a cartoon and not worth spotting every stupid little error in.

Lampy, haven't you been here a bit too long for Crustacean-esque trolling?

For the most part, I think these threads are sustained by a desire to keep the suspension of disbelief alive for those of us who have a tendency to overanalyze things. By deconstructing these minor gaffs we are reassured that our fantasy doesn't crumble and are reminded that Futurama is indeed a great program written by intelligent people who care about things like continuity and strive for accuracy even while they poke fun at their own concepts. It is a cartoon. But it was written and concieved by people, like you and me. Scientific deconstruction is many times an exercise in reinforcing the concepts that make up our realities; whether they be virtual, physical or imaginary.

Meh.

Some people devote their lives to proving that their particular Book is not in error.

The rest of us could enjoy ourselves reconciling minor animation  or writing errors (*ahem* intended riddles), perhaps?  I mean, it's not like we're going to start the Star Trek Wars (or the Star Wars Trek), are we?  Golly, I hope not.

Lampy starts the best threads. 

It all started with the Baker Street Irregulars, the Sherlock Holmes fans who became a prototype for fans of fiction in series form...originally, to get to be a member, you had to write an essay explaining  some aspect of the Sherlock Holmes universe, taking as your premises that 1) the Holmes stories were all absolutely true; 2) they were written by Dr. John Watson, with Arthur Conan Doyle acting as an editor; and 3) that there were no continuity errors.  What appeared to be errors could be explained, and your membership essay could explain one of them. (Alternatively, it could elaborate on some minor detail, such as Isaac Asimov's essay theorizing what Moriarty's banned scientific work Dynamics of an Asteroid was specifically about. )

Early Star Trek fandom took that same general approach, and you could be awarded a "No Prize" for explaining that some "continuity error" was no error at all.

It's an elaborate game that some of us enjoy immensely, so how about not raining on our picnic, eh?

FILTHY LIES!!!!!111onetwo.

For the record, anyone who calls Lampy a troll for this has obviously never seen anything else he's posted.

Obvisally Lampy likes that show for what it is, and by sounds of things he doesn't need to nit-pick every single detail to enjoy the show.
 I am not going sit here and talk about every single mistake in the show, it is hand drawn so there is going a few little mistake everynow and than.

So that's where you spend your nights!

 

Re:Nerdorama: I thought this seemed a little out of character.  I was actually theorizing that Lampy's login had been taken over by a trollish wight.

Glad it's just you, Lampmeister.
Sense is made more.

Yes you can because they are only funny if they are said in the childish voice, or to people who know the quote and think of it being said in the voice. They aren't funny in themselves generally speaking, the above is a perfect example.

lol ok I get you, just an expression 

It was thelampincident, xanfor was quoting him.

I never said I don't like Futurama. I just don't care to discuss it with people like you. I post in Offtopic all the time and occasionally get a kick out of jumping in here and making fun of the local scum. For you to actually take offense to me shows exactly how pathetic you are.
