What do we call ourselves?

[on:]

If Star Trek Fanatics are called Trekkies or Trekkers then what is the Futurama equivalent?

[Reply #1 on:]

Futurinoes?

You know what, that question has never come up, the closest we have to anything even remotely related is "PEELer"

[Reply #2 on:]

David X. Cohen calls us 'Nerdlingers'.

And proud of it.


I think.

 Futuramicans? Or 'Ramicans for short.

(C.f. citizens of Earth being called Earthicans.)

[Reply #5 on:]

I thought more people knew about the term 'Nerdlinger'.  It even appears on the DVD box sets.  Also.

[Reply #6 on:]

I do know the term.

[Reply #7 on:]

the creators can't name their fans. that's blasphemy!

i call myself a diahard futurama fan. if i were to create a name for what to call the group, id say 'Earthicans'. it's a cool yet geeky name for a cool and geeky show.

[Reply #8 on:]

How about the mongooses? That's a pretty cool team name; The Fighting Mongooses.

[Reply #9 on:]

I like the mongooses no one would know who we were. It could be like a geeky secret society. We should think up a handshake and secret code word right now.

[Reply #10 on:]

Speaking of secret societies, perhaps we should call ourselves the Legion of Mad Fellows?

And decoder rings; don't forget decoder rings...

Futurinoes?

Fry's book about the future that is destined to save the world (but instead makes Zoidberg the president) from 'New Year's Rockin' Evil', Futruama Comics #7 is called 'Futurino'.

Just putting it into perspective!

 "Ah, yes. I'm here to repair my… horse."

Might lead to confusion about said horse's name for the stupider leaguie-weegies.

[Reply #15 on:]

That's why we should use the same name (Hot Beings) for our quote-unquote horse.

I always thought it was "Hot Beans"...

Or are my subtitles lying to me... ?

[Reply #17 on:]

It's definitely "Hot Beans"

[Reply #18 on:]

Aha, the subtitles don't lie!

Unless you're watching the first series...

"Lurr"

[Reply #19 on:]

We should put this to a vote and spread the word to all Futurama fans and make it official. What are everyone's favorite suggestions?

Personally, I like "Legion of Mad Fellows." However, if we were the "League of Robots," we could be official Leaguie-Weegies.

But that name isn't even funny. Oh well, I'll have to pay closer attention to that bit next time.

The ones on my copy of Bender's Big Score do. When Bublegum Tate says

"Looks pretty damn solvable to me, Farnsy. Sweet Clyde, use variation of parameters and expand the Wronskain."

the subtitles say "rhine skin" instead of "Wronskain".

[Reply #21 on:]

I did always wonder about that... it didn't sound like rhine skin...

You'd think they'd have the scripts in front of them...

I'm just anal enough to point out that it's "Wronskian."
I'll just... ooze... back out under the door now...

[Reply #23 on:]

Well that's one super hardcore nerd joke that was totally lost on me until you came and pointed it..

..no, it's still lost on me

[Reply #24 on:]

Just anal enough seems to be the right amount.

Not that I know what wronskian is anyway

[Reply #25 on:]

Isn't Bubblegum pronouncing it wrong? Wron-ski-an would sound better to me.

[Reply #26 on:]

Take it up with the voice actor?

Yeah, well dipthongs never were my thing.

Still, I suppose you're technically correct, which as we all know is the best kind of correct, so kudos to you SpaceCase.

     Thingth aren't my thongth -

I am curious to know why "hot beings" is somehow funnier.

[Reply #30 on:]

"Hot Beans" is much funnier than "Hot Beings".

[Reply #31 on:]

So then, we identify ourselves by saying, "We're here to repair the horse", and if asked, the horse's name is 'Hot Beans'.

Well, it's unexpected...

[Reply #32 on:]

I see it as sensible, because in order to infiltrate our circle one would have familiarise oneself with futurama and by that time they would be one of us.

But we still have no name for all those people out there who love futurama but are not yet (or may never be) PEELers. Think of the uninitiated.

[Reply #33 on:]

Futurinoes actually made me giggle so my vote is for that.

[Reply #34 on:]

The best name for us fans is something that only we will get, and will make everybody else look at us like we have a brain slug on our head. How about "Fingerlicans?" Anyone who doesn't get that reference needs to leave... now.

"I" would call "our" "selves" thundercougarfalconbird.

[Reply #38 on:]

My argument for 'nerdlinger' is that since the fans never made a term for themselves, David X. Cohen swooped in and created the term.  Now, no one have argued ever since.  Well, until now.

So my point is; you should have complained when it was time, jerks.  Now live with it.

[Reply #39 on:]

One word.
