bartman's trivia!

[Reply #320 on:]

It was guess, as I haven't seen Less than Hero. And 'Roswell that Ends Well'- er, well Fry does shag his grandma...

Proven wrong again, but that won't stop my TOTPD

None of these.  It doesn't have anything to do with the plot.  It's something particular about a particular character, something we don't see in other episodes.  Here's the list again:

"Xmas Story"
"A Bicyclops Built for Two"
"Anthology of Interest I"
"The Cyber House Rules"
"Time Keeps on Slippin'"
"Roswell that Ends Well"
"Leela's Homeworld"
"Less Than Hero"

[Reply #322 on:]

Yep. I think that they do. How about:
Teenage Mutant Leela Hurdles
The Why of Fry!   

 I'm not sure that this guy wrote those episodes? I'll look later

[Reply #323 on:]

in all of them Leela has a big role?

[Reply #324 on:]

Warmer, but remember I said it has nothing to do with the plot.

[Reply #325 on:]

hmmmmmm i got it leela wears something sexy!

[Reply #326 on:]

Well, it's been about 24 hours and no one has come up with the answer, but maybe no one was sure how to go about figuring out this question.  Anyway:

What connects the episodes?  They're the only times we see Leela's hair in a style other than the standard ponytail.  That's it.

"Xmas Story:" We see a picture of young Leela with pigtails and a prom picture of Leela with Farrah Fawcett hair.

"A Bicyclops Built for Two:" Leela has Peg Bundy hair.

"Anthology of Interest I:" We see Leela with her hair loose after having sex with Fry.

"The Cyber House Rules:" We see pigtailed young Leela again.

"Time Keeps on Slippin':" Leela has her hair in a bun when she marries Fry.

"Roswell that Ends Well:" She has a beehive when in disguise.

"Leela's Homeworld:" We see pigtailed young Leela again.

"Less Than Hero:" As Clobberella she has a different hairstyle.


So... want another one like that?

[Reply #327 on:]

Damn. If I hadn't been away the past couple of days, I would have immediately said "Leela's hair". Great question! Me want more!

[Reply #328 on:]

Okay, here's one that might be easier; there are fewer episodes at least.  What connects the following:

"Space Pilot 3000"

"I, Roommate"

"Put Your Head on My Shoulder" (or "Where the Buggalo Roam," if you prefer)

"The Route of All Evil"

[Reply #329 on:]

Um... they were episodes in which new characters were introduced?

[Reply #330 on:]

No, but the answer is about first times.  I thought the choice for the third one would be a tip-off.

Have I ruined everyone's interest in this thread with my weird questions?  I could start my own topic for these types of questions, but we probably don't need two trivia topics.

[Reply #331 on:]

First relationships were developed.

[Reply #332 on:]

It's more specific than that.

Here's a hint: You might have expected me to include "Parasites Lost," but I left it out because "Anthology of Interest I" confuses things, so the list above is not really complete.  (Did that "hint" just confuse you even more?)

[Reply #333 on:]

Well, another 24 hours, another unanswerable question.  What connects these episodes?  In each of them we see a character's residence for the first time.

"Space Pilot 3000:" Farnsworth

"I, Roommate:" Bender and Fry

In "Put Your Head on My Shoulder" we see Amy's apartment.  In "Where the Buggalo Roam" we see her house on Mars.

"The Route of All Evil:" Hermes

I skipped Leela because we apparently see her apartment in "Anthology of Interest I" but it looks nothing like it does in "Parasites Lost."

Well, I had another question lined up, but I think I'll let someone else ask next.

[Reply #334 on:]

wow, i never noticed the difference in Leela's apt. maybe being more impulsive sent her on a mad shopping spree and she actually furnished the place.

No, don't stop with your tricky questions!
They are more fun than "normal" ones.....

[Reply #336 on:]

Okay, you asked for it.  What connects the following episodes:

"A Flight to Remember"
"I Second that Emotion"
"Xmas Story"
"Luck of the Fryrish"
"A Taste of Freedom"

[Reply #337 on:]

jeez i have only seen 3 of those so i cant make a good guess   

[Reply #338 on:]

No guesses?  I'll wait a few more hours before revealing the answer.

(You know, I was planning on doing something like naming all the episodes in which we see Leela with liquor and having you figure that out.  This one's comparatively easy.)

[Reply #339 on:]

In each, a connection is snown  bewtween a normal character and a cameo charcater.
Bender and Countess
Leela and mutant Family
Fry and Yancy
Bender and Santa
Zoid and Ambassoders

[Reply #340 on:]

Ooh, that's pretty close, but not quite it.  Keep thinking along those lines.

[Reply #341 on:]

In each, a connection is shown  bewtween a normal character and a cameo charcater.

Other wise a cameo charcter is introduced, eventually haveing a greater part to play in the story line
Bender and Countess
Leela and mutant Family
Bender and Santa
Fry and Yancy
Zoid and Ambassoders

[Reply #342 on:]

I think this fits your answer better:
"Flight to Remember"- Amy and Kif

[Reply #343 on:]

Each had a cameo character that died, only used to further that story.
"A Flight to Remember" Countess
"I Second that Emotion" Sewer Monster
"Xmas Story" The Bird
"Luck of the Fryrish" Yancy
"A Taste of Freedom" The Lawyer

[Reply #344 on:]

Your first guess was closer.  And El Chupanibre didn't die; it turned up again in "Teenage Mutant Leela's Hurdles."

[Reply #345 on:]

Major Plot Occurances:
1:Zap and Leela
2:Kif and Amy
3:Fry's Past
4:Leela's past
5:Farnsworth's new invention
6:Fry and Leela
No,No,No,No,No,No
I'm giving up, I don't remember I Second that Emotion or Xmas Story that well. Take it away Lurrr

[Reply #346 on:]

 

Originally posted by Action Jacktion:

No, that was just some kind of random mutant-tapeworm.

Anyway, possible answer: we see one of the main characters in their youth.

"Luck of The Fryrish": Fry
"A Flight To Remember": Hermes
"A Taste Of Freddom": Zoidberg
"Xmas Story": Leela
"I Second That Emotion": Uhhh, ahhh Crap!

Another answer: first time we see/hear about the parents of one of the major characters

"Luck of The Fryrish": Fry's parents is seen
"A Flight To Remember": Amy's parents is seen
"A Taste Of Freddom": Zoidberg's parents is mentioned
"I Second That Emotion": Leela's parents is seen briefly, Bender's father is mentioned
"Xmas Story": ???? crap again!

I give up.

[Reply #347 on:]

Okay, this is a guess based on your answer green-gesus.

Each episode has a cameo appearance that is developed into another episode later on:
"A Flight to Remember"- Amy and Kif's relationship (in "Amazon women in the Mood", et al.)
"I Second That Emotion"- Leela's parents (in "Leela's Homeworld" )
"Xmas Story"- Robot Santa (in "A Tale of Two Santas" )
"Luck of the Fryish"- Fry's family (in "Roswell that Ends Well" )

And I haven't seen "Taste of Freedom" so I can't comment on it. I'm probably wrong anyway.

EDIT: @Teral: this is a mere technicality, but in "Mother's Day" we see that Bender looks exactly the same now as he did in his youth. So, we did see a character in his youth in "Xmas Story". Sort of.

[Reply #348 on:]

   

Originally posted by Teral:

Correct!  Those episodes are the first times we see someone's parent(s):

"A Flight to Remember:" Amy

"I Second that Emotion:" Leela

"Xmas Story:" Bender (we see his 'mother' in the Xmas card)

"Luck of the Fryrish:" Fry

"A Taste of Freedom:" Zoidberg (we see his mother, though I suppose he was adopted)


I guess Teral goes next.

[Reply #349 on:]

Teral got it right?  Teral got it right!

Now let us never do something like that again.

Incidently I was going to mention how each episode was plot specific to a later episode:

A Flight to Remember - Amazon Women in the Mood specifically, Buggalo as a stretch.
I Second that Emotion - Leela's Homeworld
Xmas Story - A Tale of Two Santas
Luck of the Fryrish - Roswell that Ends Well, Why of Fry (Both stretches, I know)
A Taste of Freedom - Yes, well, the thing about that is that WHAT IN THE WORLD COULD THAT BE??? ::Runs off::

Also, technically Fry's parents are first mentioned in The Cryonic Woman, and Zoidberg's parents are first mentioned in That's Lobstertainment, but you specifically said "see," so I'll just not mention it.  Oh, I mean LOOK OVER THERE!!!  ::Runs off again::

You can see El Chupanibre when they pass the building advertising Fiddler Way Below the Roof.

Actually, they're first mentioned in "Space Pilot 3000."   

[Reply #351 on:]

I won? I won. I WON!!! ::runs wild::

Ahem, what I meant to say was:

I'd like a pizza and a large soda. How much do I owe?

[Reply #352 on:]

Trick question! He hasn't specified where he's buying them from, or the kind of pizza  .

However, at Panucci's for a cheese pizza and a large soda, you would pay the low low price of $10.77 (the same as Fry's PIN number)   .

[Reply #353 on:]

My brillliant plan ruined. 

But you get to ask the new question, CK.

[Reply #354 on:]

Heheheh - that's me, the master plan ruiner  .

Let's see - OK:

In "Space Pilot 3000", we see the New Year's millennium countdown twice. In the 2999->3000 countdown, list who says each number from 5 to 1 and the phrase Fry uses at the end  .

[Reply #355 on:]

5: Terry
4: Nimoy
3: Leela
2: Bender
1: Farnsowrth
Blast-off: Fry

[Reply #356 on:]

5 - Correct
4 - Correct
3 - Incorrect
2 - Correct
1 - Incorrect
Fry - Correct

So close....So very close 

[Reply #357 on:]

[CUBERT] I believe the answer is:
5: Terry

3: Farnsworth
2: Bender
1: Leela
Blast-off: Fry

Sorry, Teral - gotta give it to El Zilcho  .

Go ahead. Make my day  .

::Laughs derisively at Teral:: All right, name any 3 of Farnsworth's inventions (or theories or anything like that) that Cubert claims are impossible throughout "A Clone of My Own."
