Oh, for Fry, that's pretty complicated.

I enjoy this episode a lot. Love it when he says "old sport" 'cause that's from The Great Gatsby, which is one of my favorite novels ever. I like Bender much more when he's like he is in this episode, than the way he is in episodes such as APTR or IITM.

Mothers Day

One of the more disturbing episodes but still love it.

[Reply #242 on:]

Disturbing but funny. The greeting card that Bender gets for Mom is so creepy. It's too sweet.    I like sweet but that's just too much.

 

Mom: [on TV] Well, I've never seen my babies act this way. I blame today's violent media.
Fry: Violent media? What a load of--
[He screams. The TV grows legs and kicks Fry and Leela in the shins.]

Now that's violent media.

 

Fry: W-W-Wait. You mean ... you ... and Mom--
Farnsworth: Played pelvic pinochle? I'm afraid so.

I guess that's one way say have sex...

 

Farnsworth: Very well. If cop a feel I must, then cop a feel I shall!
[He tears open his shirt, revealing a medallion underneath. Igner squeaks again.]

Why does he have the medallion under his shirts that's a bit weird.

 

Zoidberg: Is this what human mating looks like? Because I like it!

Wow Zoidberg. I can't think of anything else to say right now. Infact I can barly even see straight.

km73: Ok it was complicated for Fry. I wanna know where he came up with that idea.

[Reply #243 on:]

The Problem with Popplers

Poppler- Ca Ca

Linda- were gonna have to bleep that

--------------------------------------------

Proffesor- Get of my property

Waterfall Jr.- you cant own property man

Proffesor- I can because, im not a pennyless hippie.

------------------------------------------

Lrr- I think that hippies starting to kick in

Lrr- WoW my hands are so big, they can touch anything but them selves, wait they can.

I love when futurama makes fun of hippies and activists, but I also love how they make an alien high.

[Reply #248 on:]

 

Dude, my hands are huuge! They can tough anything but them selves.

That's my favotite line.  I love when Futurama makes fun of activists. I love that they kill off every Waterfall that showas up after this. I'll type more later on the episode. Stupid fall cleaning.

I'm definitely with you on this one.  The writers took every opportunity to skewer touchy feely protesters; I love the "we taught a lion to eat tofu" line (then showing an emaciated lion coughing).  Also, when they're on the TV nightline show, they introduce Free Waterfall JR. as a "noted anti-eating activist".  Zing!  Great stuff...

[Reply #250 on:]

The lion is hilarious! Also Lrrr scratching himself on TV.

[Reply #251 on:]

yah

[Reply #252 on:]

I think that was little more than self-deprecating humour considering Billy West and Matt Groening's views...

Still, it's funny as all hell.

Anthology of Interest 1

How come they called it Anthology of Interest 1, instead of just Anthology of Interest, was the 1 neccesary, did they already make anthology of interest 2 when they aird number 1.

[Reply #254 on:]

anythoughts on this episode anyone

[Reply #255 on:]

Don't double post. I love the giant Bender one. I don't remeber the actually title of the sequense and I am to lazy to look it up.

 

Zoidberg: Help, friends a guinea pig tricked me.

To this day I still do not know how Zoidberg could get tricked by the guinea pig. but he must have been starving because guinea pigs are retarded. I had 2 and they liked to jump from my hands to their cage and hit the side of the cage thinking that thye could get in that way.

[Reply #256 on:]

I like when Leela goes on a killing spree

[Reply #257 on:]

Yep that's a good segment too. I don't really like Fry's question and video thingy. Kinda boing.

[Reply #258 on:]

yea fry's was a little pointless

[Reply #259 on:]

Aw come on, Stephen Hawking's lines were priceless!

Fry: Aren't you the physicist that invented Gravity?
Hawking: Sure, why not?

[Reply #260 on:]

Yeah I agree about Steven Hawking's lines and stuff but overall it was kinda boring especially when compared to the rest of the action packes What if... questions. One question though... Why didn't we see Nibbler's shadow? Like we did in the first episode when Fry was falling in to the [Fry]freezer doodle[/Fry] and every other time that particular scene was shown.

   

I call it a Hawking chamber.

They (kind of) explain it in the commentary.  Give me 30 mintues to rewatch it....

ETA: ...Ok, so they don't explain it.  I must have read about it in an interview or something.  Basically, I think it comes down to: Nibbler wasn't there, therefore Fry didn't have the momentum/direction to roll into the cryogenics chamber, therefore that "What If" can exist.

In other words, it was just to emphasize that Nibbler was the reason Fry became frozen.

[Reply #262 on:]

I'm gonna watch the commentary right now instead of the Star Trek disc I was going to watch.

Edit to reply to 1BDI:Yeah that makes sense.

[Reply #263 on:]

My absolutly favorite episode. Especially the killing spree segment, classic.

Leela: "So, Fry, what do you think of the impulsive new me?"

Fry: "I like it!"

Leela: "Good. Now let me just get the lights."

Fry: "I really like it!"

[Reply #264 on:]

Today is

War is the H-Word

Kif- The new recruit is fanominal sir

Zapp- yes, he eched out my time by 2 seconds, and sixteen minutes, and twelve hours, I do plan to finish someday kif.

[Reply #265 on:]

Hey, wait, I still wanted to say something about AOI1.
In my opinion the impulsive-Leela segment in this episode features the best-ever use of Zoidberg. Him acting as the inept detective was just flawless.
Now, War is the H-Word...well, what to say about this episode other than that it's hilarious. Zapp, Kif, Nixon, "balls thoroughly licked"...first class.
I also particularly loved the bit where Fry watches Leela attack the guards and he's like "Wait, that's not me" or something.

[Reply #266 on:]

Km73, listen to the DVD commentary about the ball jokes, quite funny on it's own.

Best part of this episode is Nixon... Arooo! Also Zap, using the element of surprise 

Are the cryptic comments of the balls a reference to something? They kinda like a cross the Zeroids and Cubes from Terrahawks.

[Reply #267 on:]

Love this episode. But when has Bender ever used daffodil outside of this episode? My favorite line from this episode is "These balls are making me testy!"    I'll post more when I watch the episode and the commentary later.

@Trick: Do you watch the episode before you go to school or work?

[Reply #268 on:]

"these balls are making me testy!"

[Reply #269 on:]

I dont get this joke

Zapp- "Do you like to read, because I just got a video book on life in ancient Greece and, (siren)

he says it to leela when shes pretending to be a man

Whats the joke

[Reply #270 on:]

From Wikipedia:

 

In this view, any sexual activities in which a male penetrated a social inferior was regarded as normal; "social inferiors" could include women, male youths, foreigners, prostitutes, or slaves...

*snip*

They also describe them as "warm," "loving," and "affectionate," and argue that the Greek tradition of same-sex relations was central to "Greek history and warfare, politics, art, literature and learning, in short to the Greek miracle."[9]

Ancient Greece was known for its (relative) acceptance of homosexuality, at least in the higher classes, and since Zapp's rank is superior to "Lemon"'s....

[Reply #271 on:]

Oh my god!!!!!    So creepy, Zapp is really messed up!

[Reply #272 on:]

So... did anyone else notice that the ambassador balls were essentially flying brains in transparent, spherical casings?  They kind of looked like the Brain Spawn.

I'm sure that's completely irrelevant, but it's something that came to mind while I was watching it.

[Reply #273 on:]

My favorite robot, iHawk, happens to be in this episode. I just love his lines, "This isn't a war, it's a murder."

[Reply #274 on:]

I'll have to check that out 1BDI I never noticed that. I'll get back to you in like 24 minutes on that... ok I lie I'll get back to you by like 5:40 (17:40) my time.

Addon: This is definaltly one of Zapps gayest episodes. I'm still not done with the ep. I keep getting distracted by friends and haveing to get family members from all over town.

Yeah, that's the idea.  Remember how eager Leela was to meet him, then relalized he was a media creation - in truth a manipulative, self-centered poor excuse for a human being?

Zapp is like Dan Fielding from Night Court - comic relief because he's such an over-the-top character.  The true polar opposite of Leela.

[Reply #276 on:]

Yeah they do but they are alot smaller though. I live the news paper headline "WAR OVER: Balls thoughly licked!" So messed up bit so funny.

[Reply #277 on:]

Also enjoyed Leela finally kicking the crap out of Zapp. That was strangely satisfying.

[Reply #278 on:]

Zapp is a walking misshapen penis, the satisfaction is easily understood!   

[Reply #279 on:]

*Stares blankly at Gascheifs post* Okaaaaaaaaaay. Yeah Zapp is extremely odd. I love seeing Zapp get beaten up, but you'd think that it would knock him down a knotch [Elzar]BAM![/Elzar] but it doesn't, he bouces back very quickly. He gets pleasure out of the strangest things, he wears a velour mini-dress for god's sake. My dad is convinced that Zapp in metrosexual if not gay. I think that I'd have to agree with him.
