That's the dumbest thing I ever heard!

[#40 :]

It took my friend who introduced me to futurama about 5 weeks to explain how Fry is the prof's uncle and not vise versa 

[#41 :]

^It took me 3 months before I could understand that^ Oh my brain fails me!
(although I didn't see SP3K til 2 months after I started watching)

Same here!

[#43 :]

SP3K is one of the last episodes I saw. I knew Leela was a cyclops by then, though.

Well that's good. How could you not, at first sight, realise she's a cyclops? I mean, after watching Futurama for a while and becoming used to her cyclops-ness, you can forget, but her one eye was the first thing abnout her that jumped out at me. Well second - the hair came first.

[#45 :]

Xanfor tries to see what's on the inside of a person.

Hermes' exclamation "Ras H. Tafari. What's goin' on here?" is his own rastafarian way of saying "Jesus H. Christ!" I can't believe I actually thought that maybe there was a Mr. Ras H. Tafari associated with the rastafarian movement.  I say "Jesus H. Christ" all the time and it just clicked for me last night.

[#46 :]

I understood fry being hes uncle 1st time i saw it =\  he has a nephew who grew old then when we was frozen, 1000 years later his nephews, sons, sons, sons, ect. was there.

[#47 :]

^Good for you  ^
I got it once i watched SP3K but it was one of the last eps i saw. Until i saw 'I Dated A Robot' I didn't know Fry had been Frozed.

[#48 :]

Okay, a LITTLE stupidity...
I just looked it up and found out that Hermes is saying "Rage dump!" in The Lesser Of Two Evils.
I always heard it as "Ridgedom!", and had been trying to figure out what that even meant up until today.

[#49 :]

what is a rage dump?

[#50 :]

Haha, I was wondering that too.
I'm guessing it simply means to get rid of (or dump) your rage/anger.

[#51 :]

It's still a funny phrase.
I was thinking about it and though that is could mean he's dumping his rage on them (being stressy with them)

[#52 :]

I it took me like 30 viewing of Parsites Lost and my friend who wasn't even a Futurama fan to figure out what Zoidberg meant when he said "You'll never guess where I've been!" while riding on Fry's sperm.  Now that I think about it it was fairly obvious what happened. And in the episode A Leela of her Own it took me forever to get that it was a parody of A Leauge of their own and I thought Hank Aaron was dead and couldn't frigure out how he did the voice over in the episode. There's a lot more stupid stuff but I can't remeber it.

It took me a few minutes to get the 'Obviously you've never been in love' line. Now that I do, I think it's one of the best in the series.

 

Fry/Leela ♥,

Oh yesh. 

 

Harry/Hermione ♥

Yer crazy.

I don't find that that funny. Am i missing something?

[#55 :]

Well on PEEL I only laugh at the fact Pazuzu watches Frien... err, err I mean heh heh, I don't laugh at much on PEEL.   

[#56 :]

Hey! Friends rocks! Well it used to. I used to love it to pieces but then along came futurama...

[#57 :]

I didn't say Friends didn't rock, all I said was that I don't laugh that you watch it! wait, what did I just say?

[#58 :]

Harry/Hermione ♥

@Xanfor:So I've been told by everyone I know      . And also wolfman             .

@Everyone: The first time I saw Xmas story the line: "I'm going to shove coal so far up your stocking you'll be coughing up diamonds!" cofused me for some odd reason then like 5 minutes after the episode I realized what it meant and I don't know how i took me so long I guess I'm just really slow at times.        I tend to be amazingly dumb even though I am in an advanced portion of the school where I have to have an 85 or higher gpa.

(This is a random question but is it possible for anyone to make me a signature with graphics and stuff? i don't know how to make one. I don't have photoshop or anything like that on my computer. I've been trying to figure out how to make one for a while now but I can't figure it out and I am pretty good with computers.)

Yes.

"No creature would willingly make an idiot out of itself![/i]"

"Obviously you've never been in love![/i]"

Both a comment on how you'll do anything when in love and how love willingly makes you into an idiot.

Obviously I've never been in love.

ok, HAHAHAHAHA  oh, wait, was that a threat? oh my god it was, wasn't it... yeah see ya Xanfor i'm just off down the garden to shoot myself... hehe *cough*

Nah, because immmediately before in the same scene, when Fry starts complaining, Hermes says "Take a rage dump, man!" So it seems to be the equivalent of saying "calm down" or something like that.

[#62 :]

Weird,but I seriously thought about that,yesterday.After eating a bad peanut.

To this day I guess I'll never know just why Hermes said so!Either I'm a complete dimwitted flathead or there's no humor nor joke in the situation!QUOTE]

The company is called RomantiCorp. Amy says, "Is that a corporation that makes romantic stuff?" Obviously it is, but Heremes praises her because, for someone of Amy's intelligence, that's a fairly impressive observation.

[#64 :]

I think she's more klutzy and scatter-brained than dumb. I think part of it is that cute girls don't have to try very hard to get praise out of guys.

[#65 :]

Actually, Hermes comment "Very good, Amy!" was obviously SARCASTIC. That's the joke.
Basically, it's the equivalent of saying "No shit, Sherlock!".

[#66 :]

I thoughtit was just a little sarcastic. Like he was poking fun and actually praising her at the same time.

It took me a long time to get the bit in "I, Roommate":
"Well, we are technically in New Jersey."
"Not one place even remotely livable!"
I don't know why. Maybe it's 'cause I'm not American.

PS: Hermione totally gets with Ron.

Damn right! XD Why are we discussing this in a Futurama forum?! 

[#71 :]

My cousin thought Dr. Zoidberg stole all of Bender's glory once.  The dumbest thing I saw on Futurama was on Raging Bender about Leela's former martial-arts intructor being overly sexist.   It would've been better if the martial-arts intructor just hated everyone. 

[#72 :]

I was watching 300 Big Boys with my friend Alex during the summer... She saw a fire door with "FIRE DOOR" written on it in big red letters and said "Fire Door? I don't get that joke."

She also still insisted Leela was an alien after I forced her to watch Leela's Homeworld over and over to prove her wrong.

[#73 :]

I, to this day, have tendency to remember the characters as yellow. As many times as I have seen the episodes, it never fails to amaze me anew when they are indeed NOT yellow.

I'm such a ditz.

i can top you all. on Jan 8, 2007, I just got the double meaning of I.C. Weiner, what with Fry being frozen and all...

And nearly five years later, I was about to post the same thing. AGAIN. I know I mentioned this exact thing earlier this year, I had not realized I had already realized...curse you ill timed pre-realizations!

So funny to go through and read what everyone's posted. I'm sure I've had lots of dumb moments but I can't remember/don't know what they are. There's probably alot of sexual innuendo that I miss. Probably a good thing xD

[#78 :]

I actually went for many years not even fathoming what Bender's name meant - The drunken binge part that is. When it hit me one day I was amazed at how that went past me.

Deary me, I didn't get that till reading about it just now. I suppose the being British part of me meant that I was so focused on ignoring the British slang meaning of "bender" that I missed the double meaning actually intended.

@Arocalypse: Was she surprised that Family Guy is about a guy who has a family?

She was surprised that the Griffins were all related   
 
idiot....

To be fair, Brian isn't and I'd be surprised if I found out that he was. Well, not too surprised.


And I don't know if it counts or not, but there's loads of 'A Head in the Polls' I didn't get when I first saw it ("expletive deleted" in particular), but I was only 12 or so and an English 12 year old at that, so I suppose I'm not exactly stupid for not knowing the finer details of the Watergate scandal at that point.

[#79 :]

I didn't know the Bender thing, but then I'm certainly no expert on British slang. Or even very well acquainted with it.

I rewatched A Head in the Polls a few days ago and I hadn't remembered a lot of it. There was some really funny stuff about Ford that I probably didn't pick up on the first time I ever saw it (and I don't think I got the Bob Dole joke then either).
