Last year, flesheatingbull started a thread for the best 6B lines; since 7A has official begun, I figured I might as well piggyback on that excellent idea and start a thread for best lines of this season. In addition to the one quoted in the thread title, here are a few good'ns from "A Farewell to Arms": "I was eating a can of breakfast and looking at porn." "It was worth waiting five hours to hear you finish that sentence." "I'll be alive, in her heart. But really, I'll be dead."

"We now go live to the delivery room, where we're already at there."
[Slowly and monotonously.] "People will wait for something good..."
"Yeah, you explained his positions in a way even an idiot could understand, and that appealed to me, for whatever reason."
"Excellent, now listen, we've gotta get some dirt on this Travers guy. Really McGovern him up! You know who McGovern was, right?" "I don't even know who you are."
"Hey, what's that rifling sound?"
"Well, what'd you get on Travers? Is he a draft dodger? Sex offender? Sex dodger?!"
"Scoop Chang, Fox quote unquote News. Senator, in the last ten seconds I've heard reports you weren't actually born on Earth. Care to evade these compelling charges?"

"As a solemn testicle to those left behind." WTF!
That was probably the worst line of that episode. Totally unnecessary, it felt like one of those lines they wrote just to test the censors.

You mean to testicle the censors.
Seriously, though, I agree that that's a dumb line.

Was it not just an example of Zapp getting words wrong/pronouncing them wrong?

There are a lot of lines like that in new Futurama... lines that are crude, unsubtle, and really not very funny. V-Giny, anyone? That would never have made the original run.
I think the tighter censorship on FOX actually forced the writers to be more clever when they wanted to make a dirty joke. Now that that's gone, it's too easy to just make the joke be openly about something crude. So now we have Zapp just saying the word "testicle" instead of (in my opinion) more hilarious things like the Kegelcizer, or that line about how "we've all seen too many body bags and ball sacks".

Zapp's proposal to Munda--"Will I marry you?"--tickled me so, mainly because it can be taken two ways: either Zapp is so self-absorbed that he values the fact that he's proposing to someone over the fact that she has to accept, or he's just an idiot who doesn't know how to propose to a lady. Both fine options, both terribly amusing.

"Morris, Munda, I now pronounce you man and wife. May I kiss the bride? Morris punches Zapp in the stomach". I cracked up on that one! Munda We still have a cake. Zoidberg Half a cake! Burps out cake piece
