Bender jumping up playing air guitar in the background after he's muted in the honking. Not that its my desktop background or anything...

[Reply #42 on:]

Trojan horse condoms.

I just caught this one in ITWGY the craps shooter in the opening sequence rolls a cube root of 9 which is 3 and a 2 square which is 4.


I hope his point is 7.

[Reply #44 on:]

The cube root of 9 is 2.0800838….
The square root of 9 is 3.

[Reply #45 on:]

The square root of 9 is 3.

Of course!

One of my fav. non-verbal jokes (to get back on topic) is in: "A pharoh to remember" the booth that says: "Dont be a Slave to bad Credit" that one cracks me up.

[Reply #47 on:]

Hehe, I like the background joke they used in "Space Pilot 3000".  

You know, the scene where they're at Planet Express, and Bender literally shits a brick.  That one cracks me up every time!!

[Reply #48 on:]

that one is funny. he does that one pretty often. my favorite time he does it is when he eats the bag of old chips.

'Olestra chips' was the name of the crisps bender was eating.

In The Honking:

- At the reading of uncle Vladimir's will, Bender's cousin "Tandy" has

  Euro
TRaSh-80

printed on his torso.

- And in the castle, the name on the portrait in the dining room is

COMMODORE LXIV

Both TRS-80 and Commodore 64 are early examples of home computers.

[Reply #51 on:]

What about that windows logo that chases bender?

[Reply #52 on:]

Nope. To qualify as a joke it has to actually be funny. And the flying Windows logos just aren't.

The flying toasters, on the other hand…

 

[Reply #53 on:]

Bender throwing the Countess' necklace away in a flashback at the beginning of "Amazon Women in the Mood" is pretty great.

That's my favourite.

I didn't mean as a joke, I was just adding it to your list.

Or you could dispense with the second part of the quote altogether if (as in this case) it's of no relevance.

My list of what? My list of Background/Non-verbal jokes! (I.e., the subject of the thread.)

However, I wasn't being serious, as this

Oh well, maybe next time.

C'mon, Willster.  I hope what you did is just make a mistake, because if it's anything else, it's disrespectful to posters here.  Remember to add your comments AFTER the quote.

I've just remembered my actual favourite non-verbal joke in the show.

In 'The Day the Earth Stood Stupid' when another train crashes into that train-crash on the news and lots of people run on board the wreckage. The bit that does it for me is the business-man with a briefcase.

   P Entance


And in another episode (Parasites Lost), the buttons on the elevator in Fry's body…

 O    Brain
 O    Lungs
 O    Liver
 O  Ball Room

[Reply #59 on:]

The facial expressions of Fry and Zapp awaiting snu snu.

Rook Takes Pawnshop

Random buttcrack while Hermes and the Professor are playing chess.

[Reply #60 on:]

Hey, that reminds me of a joke:

 What do you do if you see a SpaceMaN?

 You park in it, man!

Sorry, It won't happen again.

Funny is so subjective. Will we have a poll on what is considered funny here?
If it's funny to Willster it's funny.

More Continuity Porn than a joke.

[Reply #64 on:]

In "Benders Big Score", I crack up every time I see the painting that Farnsworth has over his "hidden" safe.

[Reply #65 on:]

  Bed, Bath & Beneath

A store sign in the mutant's "town".

[Reply #66 on:]

  Martin Luther Thing, Jr. High School

…that Leela and Fry crash into after winning their sewer race.

[Reply #67 on:]

That reminds me of the marquee they pass for Fiddler Way Below the Roof: "It's crap!" -The Village Movement.

[Reply #68 on:]

Crackhead goes to vending machine for vial of crack.  Vial gets stuck in vending machine.  Distraught he then goes to suicide booth.  Sign reads "Out of Order"

[Reply #69 on:]

That never happened. You're thinking of two different scenes from different episodes.

[Reply #70 on:]

The sign for the poker tournament.
Universal poker campionship tomorrow
1 million dollar prize
Losers must attend Celine Dion show

[Reply #71 on:]

In BBS when Lars takes Leela to the head museum at night, and they talk to Charles De Gaulle's head...

Cartman from South Park's head is in the background, up on the top right of the picture.

Made me chuckle when I noticed it.

[Reply #72 on:]

^^ Good catch!

One of my favourite signs: "Today's specials: Try our insolent waitress" outside Elzar's

[Reply #73 on:]

I hope his point is 7.

I'm a bit fuzzy on my craps rules, but I don't think it's possible to have 7 as a point, is it? 

My favorite background joke has to be "The Nation of Joe" from Bend Her.

[Reply #74 on:]

(edit: I forgot to quote the last post to make this first line relevant to anything.)
No, it is not.  7's are evil when playing craps.

I'm surprised no one else mentioned the "Rook Takes Pawnshop."

The guy would be considered a rook for giving low value on pawned items.  
The "rook takes" another variation of that.
Plus the whole chess thing.
Must have been Stuart Burns.

Exactly that, I got good use out of that time I learned my nose to blow milk when I laugh.
