The What-If machine

[Reply #360 on:]

The evening news would be BORING.

What if Professor Farnsworth gave Planet Express to Fry?

[Reply #361 on:]

Chaos would ensue.

What if Fry was actually capable of running Planet Express?

[Reply #362 on:]

Wouldn't matter.  He's so gullible that he'd lose it in a card game or something similarly idiotic.

What if Fry needed a smart cap like Farnsworth's monkey Gunter?

[Reply #363 on:]

Doesn't he already need one?

What if Gunter was a whale?

[Reply #364 on:]

Then his cap would have to be the size of the Planet Express ship.

What if Bender lost one of his eyes when he extended it too far and it fell out and rolled down a sewer drain?

[Reply #365 on:]

He'd develop a better appreciation of what Leela goes through.

What if Amy suddenly grew up & became very mature?

[Reply #366 on:]

Then she'd stop saying things like "Guh!" and "Globviously!"

What if Leela didn't know how to fight?

[Reply #367 on:]

She'd be in real trouble, as her mouth would get her in situations her fighting could no longer get her out of.

What if Hermes suddenly became "wild & crazy"?

[Reply #368 on:]

LaBarbara would be temporarily amused but eventually leave him for Barbados Slim until he was boring again thus seducing her into remarriage.

What if the 1X Robot had stuck around?

[Reply #369 on:]

Bender would hug him and make his cute hugging noises.

What if Dwight was a girl?

[Reply #370 on:]

[Edit: Oops, after logging off and watching Bender Should Not Be On TV I realised my answer (below) is about Cubert, not Dwight. Ah, well. There you go.]

People would probably laugh at her name and cast aspersions about her really being cloned from the Professor.

What if Dwight Cubert and Bender had each other's personalities?

[Reply #371 on:]

That would be kinda scary, because Cubert's the most arrogant know it all.  Put him in Bender's body, and you've got a recipe for disaster.

What if the Signoids actually cooked really good pizza, and they grew their one restaurant to a chain of pizza restaurants?

[Reply #372 on:]

They would be famous, own a solid gold Death Star, and franchise to Omicron Persei 8.

What if Leela had stayed a blurnsball player?

[Reply #373 on:]

She would have been cut by any team she played for.  Remember, she's the "one eyed bean machine".

What if Amy wasn't rich?

[Reply #374 on:]

She would live off the gifts from her many boyfriends.

What if Leela was rich?

[Reply #375 on:]

She'd buy a solid-gold monocle.

What if Bender were rich?

[Reply #376 on:]

He wouldn't be as fun to watch.  He'd definitely try to pull less scams.

What if ZOIDBERG was rich?

[Reply #377 on:]

He'd lose it all to Bender forthwith.

What if ZOIDBERG was clever?

[Reply #378 on:]

He'd still lose things in card games & scams because he's still gullible.

What if Zoidberg was NOT gullible?

[Reply #379 on:]

He'd lose a great deal of his charm.

What if Kif had plastic surgery to give him bones?

[Reply #380 on:]

He wouldn't be all squishy inside.

What if Kif became a smoker?

[Reply #381 on:]

He'd no longer be green; he'd be a disgusting shade of brown.

What if Lars had gone through with marrying Leela?

[Reply #382 on:]

She'd be a widow - he was always doomed!

What if Fry froze Leela for 12 years and then pretended to be Lars?

[Reply #383 on:]

She'd ask Lars why he hadn't aged.

What if Leela and Michelle had been frozen until the year 4000?

[Reply #384 on:]

I think you mean Fry & Michelle...

If Leela and Michelle had been frozen until year 4000, they'd probably get on each other's nerves, regardless of the year.

What if Fry & Bender weren't roommates?

[Reply #385 on:]

D'oh! 


 

What if Fry & Bender weren't roommates?

Then Fry would be living in that spectacular apartment by himself, and Bender would be lying in an alley somewhere blind stinking sober.

What if The Professor has phaser eye surgery and no longer needed glasses?

[Reply #386 on:]

He'd probably talk to the right person more often.

What if Bender had killed Fry in BBS?

[Reply #387 on:]

Then there would have been no Lars.

What if Bender wore clothes all the time?

[Reply #388 on:]

Bender would probably wear Hawaiian shirts & flip flops.

What if Bender were elected Earthican President?

[Reply #389 on:]

It might be hard to keep them on his footcups...

 

What if Bender were elected Earthican President?

Then he'd grow drunk with power and piss off another planet with some zany get-richer scheme, sparking off a galaxy-wide war that would devastate the Earth.

What if Amy still had her baby fat?

[Reply #390 on:]

The she probably wouls have forgone cuteness-reducing surgery in favour of fat-reducing surgery.

What if an effective (ie quick and easy with no detremential side-effects) and cheap procedure for removing excess fat was available in the thirty-first century?

[Reply #391 on:]

Then New New York would look like Los Angeles today; everyone would have had liposuction.

What if Amy suddenly started acting like Paris Hiltron?

[Reply #392 on:]

Doesn't she already?

What if Fry ate Glagnar's Human Rinds all the time?

[Reply #393 on:]

Then he'd wash them down with Soylent Cola.

What if Fry got a haircut and removed those two forks of hair over his forehead?

[Reply #394 on:]

His head wouldn't be as cute! 

What if Leela fell madly in love with Mayor Poobenmier?

[Reply #395 on:]

She would have ended up as the Mayor's aide.

What if Leela took a job working for Mom?

[Reply #396 on:]

She'd go mad with power.

What if Mom worked for Planet Express?

[Reply #397 on:]

Planet Express would become big and evil, instead of small and neutral.

What if the neutral people stopped being neutral? (Answers that sit on the fence will be punished by a fate worse than death: Pre-life, then death.)

[Reply #398 on:]

The world with explode with a fractal edge ripping across the universe and Bender saying "We're boned!"

What if Zapp was timid and shy?

[Reply #399 on:]

He still wouldn't score with chicks.

What if Seymour bit Fry?
