One of my favorite dark jokes does in fact involve the Dark One:

Nine: "After all these eons, the Dark Ones are no more. Will you preserve their DNA, O' Great Encyclopod?"
Encyclopod: "I suppose I should."

The slight hesitation was just hilarious, you could really hear the thought "Erm...when I meant EVERY life is precious, I didn't mean...erm...DAMNED!!! Why couldn't this idiot just shut the fuck up...."

My best friend is a single mother, but this is still probably my favorite line ever.

"I have to go to some charity bs for knocked up teenage sluts." Mom is just so evil.

I also love how the Professor sees Amy as a backup blood supply, and that if anything happens to her, the crew are to bring back her blood.

"I have to go to some charity bs for knocked up teenage sluts." Mom is just so evil.

That may be my favorite Mom quote ever (followed closely by "Jam a bastard in it, you crap!").

And I loved Larry telling Mom in "Overclockwise" that no one destroys a boy like her. It's a terrible notion, but so very, very true (and so very, very funny).

In that case:

"Make that bitch your bitch you bastard!"

"It's a doorbell baby! Hello, little guy. You know, I was abandoned as a baby too, so-"
"Garbage, huh? I'll take care of it."
*Begins to stamp on the basket*

Dunno if it counts, but it made me laugh.

Stomping on a (believed to be) abandoned baby should certainly count;)

That was funny, although I was always a little weirded out by how slow Leela's reaction was.

The dark jokes are my favourites.  :D

"Completely unharmed!" .....  *thud*

The whole scene with Bender giving his firstborn to the Robot Devil.

"Wait a second.. lots of water.. large power supply.. I can choose electrocution *or* drowning!"

The "Bear Hospital".

Just remembered the Professor's "It's easier just to have you die" line from, um, some Season 6 ep. Don't remember.

You probably mean this one from "Law and Oracle":

"Bender: So where are we going?
Professor: Pandora.
Leela: That dangerous 3D planet? Can't we just send our avatars?
Professor: No, it's cheaper just to have you die."

I was watching the new season again today and I realized how much I enjoy Leela trying to stomp Pepe to death in Fry Am the Egg Man. The all-out effort, and the thud of her boots, really sells that she's serious about killing him. :)

I'm dismayful and horrorized that nobody's mentioned Stop 'n' Drop, America's favorite suicide booth since 2008. Every time a suicide booth comes into play, it's funny. How about the Xmas episode in which a store employee suggests fry use the suicide booth, though there's always a line this time of year?

Also, from Cyber House Rules: "You're under arrest for child neglect, child endangerment, depriving children of food, selling children as food, and misrepresenting the weight of livestock! "

I can't remember exactly how it goes, but Bender's line at the beginning of All the Presidents' Heads about "clubbing" baby seals was funnier than it should've been.  :laff:

Pepe? I must've had my favorite skunk on my mind...But also, I like Bender's lines at the end of TLOTF about a "mousketeer reunion" and smacking the corpse around. I want to hate him for ruining the moment, but he's so damn funny.

one of my personal favorites is in The Birdbot of Ice-Catraz, when Leela points her gun at the penguins.  "Remember, don't leave orphans, gotta kill off entire families."

Hehe..I have to admit I never really carefully thought about that phrase.
"Okay...instead of letting a young one starve to death slow and painfully, rather kill it quickly". Sounded okay and the most obvious thing to do.
Just today when I read your quote I suddenly realised how mean that phrase must be for Leela being an orphan herself.... ;)

The first time I saw that, I actually frigging cried. I was very sensitive those days and anything that had anything to do with cute little animals being hurt drove me to tears. Keep in mind I was 7.

Wow! I already recognized that line as being a dark joke, but I somehow never made the connection that it is being said by an orphan!

I'm watching BBS right now, and it occurs to me that the Scammers' plan to turn New New York into a private panda-hunting reserve is both very dark and very funny. I enjoy watching those pandas dumbly tumble out of the back of Sal's truck way more than a good person should.

Pretty much anything related to orphanhood.

Vogel:Leela! You`re worthless and no one will ever love you!
Leela:You used to say that all the time!
Vogel:Oh, those were happier days.

Farnsworth:You all know the orphanarium where Leela grew up.
Fry:Sure. We talk about it all the time.
Leela:Really?
Fry:No. Burn!

Farnsworth:Said orphanarium has named Leela "Orphan of the Year."
Amy:Your parents must be so proud!

Fry:When you were a kid, what was your ultimate dream?
Leela:To have parents.
Fry:Okay...The correct answer is, to be a superhero!

Vogel:Sometimes you gotta choose between eating and reading. So they ate the books.

Fry:Look, it`s not the food that`s important.
Tinny Tim:I`m so hungry...

Heh, I love that line. At least the harshness is slightly lessened by the fact that Leela has actually met her parents by this point.

Another orphan-related cruel-but-funny moment that I love comes from "The Cyber House Rules": Leela discovering the basket in front of the PE building, and Bender proceeding to stomp on it. I think it's great that Leela refers to an (ostensible) orphan as "a doorbell baby," and that Bender continues to crush the basket even after being told this ("A baby what?").

Bender laughing when he's not supposed to is one of the great running gags. One of my favorites is in TLPJF...
Professor: ...in fact, all life is now extinct.
Bender: Heh heh...

Its greatness as a running gag is heightened by the fact that it's not a super apparent running gag, like "bit my shiny metal ass" or the camera/"neat". Though it's something they use often, it feels fresh all the time.

Congrats on your 500th post. :D

And I never really thought of it as a running gag to be honest. Maybe I should pay more attention to my favourite show that I already pay way too much attention to.

In one of the season 6 commentaries (I think for TLPJF, actually), DXC notes how Bender seems to laugh in every instance of the new run where somebody/something is pronounced dead. In my most recent run-through of Volumes 5/6, I noticed that is very true, with the only exception of his own death.

I never did notice it until after the commentary pointed it out, either.
