Thoughts on [4ACV04] - Less Than Hero

[Reply #160 on:]

I'm a bit suprised that noone mentioned Bender's "We are not amused" line 

[Reply #161 on:]

Has anyone taken the time to translate the alien writing on the tube of super-powered cream? Mr. Cohen indicated it would be worth our whiles, but I don't want to waste time if someone's already done it.

Show spoiler

KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN UNDER THE AGE OF FIVE HUNDRED. FOR BEST RESULTS, SACRIFICE A SMALL MAMMAL XANROC, THEN APPLY EVENLY TO INTERIOR OF EYEBALL. WOULD YOU LIKE TO SELL DR. FLIMFLAM PRODUCTS, CONTACT A REPRESENTATIVE AT A COVERED WAGON NEAR YOU.

This episode is groovy. I think I died laughing when the NJT themesong came on. And at the 'winners don't do drugs' line.

B+

[Reply #164 on:]

Thanks Jicannon. Not sure if that was worth the time, but a nice little hidden treat.

[Reply #165 on:]

yeah, I didn't think it was worth it either 

I thought this episode was great..I thought it was going to be stupid at first: the same ol' out-of-ideas-so-let's-give-our-cartoon-characters-super-powers kind of episode, but it was actually pretty good. I loved some of Bender's lines, the Swedish bot, and the scene with the mutants.

I too give it a B+

[Reply #166 on:]

really i give it a straight A just for the overall humor... including benders quips. i.e. We are not amused, and Superking the best one of the three, and his whole way of getting into the team with the costumes and his speech


Edit: WOOOOOOOOOOO IM A BENDING UNIT!!!!!

[Reply #167 on:]

That seemed unnecessary

My ikea stuff ALWAYS break down the same way the robot did.

That doesn't happen to us. Ikea is quite good actually. They have furniture with both design and function.

Um... Willsterdude, you do realise that you bumped a 5 year old thread to reply to a post that was made six years ago by a user who no longer posts on this forum right?

[Reply #170 on:]

lol willsterdude do you spend all day just reading old threads? Like you were from the 4th page of a 5 year old thread i dont know where you find the time.

[Reply #171 on:]

there's plenty of time between when I come home from school and bedtime.

[Reply #172 on:]

you could be watching futurama.

[Reply #173 on:]

Yeah, your right.

[Reply #174 on:]

Yeah, your you're right.

Fixed.

Spam up the forum with pointless posts if you must, but at least use correct grammar.

Less than hero would have to be my favourite episode

[Reply #176 on:]

It's one of my favourites aswel, love the cheesiness of the storyline and theme.

[Reply #177 on:]

Love the dialog in this episode:

Leela: Let's see...which powers do we have? Super Strength?
(Fry karate chops table; Leela kicks down wall)
Fry: Yup.
Leela: Uh-huh. Lickety-Speed?
(Leela and Fry run quickly across room)
Fry: Yup!
Leela: Yes sir! Ability to command the loyalty of sea creatures?
Fry: Hey Zoidberg! Get in here!
Zoidberg: Screw you!
Leela: Ain't got that!
Fry: Nope!

(bender running)
bender: *puffpuff* Hold the elevator!

[Reply #179 on:]

Ever since this episode I have used the name SuperKing for all the high scores I have set on videogames. Not every episode can or should be profound and thought provoking. This was a funny and wacky episode that compliments all of the great "deep" episodes that the show has.

[Reply #180 on:]

Much like Bender, I prefer the name El Zilcho.

[Reply #181 on:]

The idea "the Futurama gang gets a paste that makes them into super heroes" seems pretty lame, but I quite liked the episode. Not among my favorites, but it's still nice and has its moments (like Bender's "we are not amused!" and Leela dressing in layers... Plus its one of Leela's hottest episodes. I like this kind of episode one in a while, perhaps twice a season, but no more; that's what happened with The Simpsons.

[Reply #182 on:]

His crew includes a badger with a troubled past and nothing left to lose, an elephant who never forgets........to KILL, and a seldom used crab named lucky, aka citizen snips.

ROFL!

[Reply #183 on:]

This remains one of my favourite ever episodes.

[Reply #184 on:]

"And I can't take life anymore!"

[Reply #185 on:]

 Leela told her parents. Leela's parents blabbed.

[Reply #186 on:]

"Hawk. Fetch!"

"That seemed unnecissary."

[Reply #187 on:]

"You think I'd show you my lair? My lair's a million times nicer than this!"

[Reply #188 on:]

"and I'm super king, the best one of the three!"

[Reply #189 on:]

"I don't know, I never heard of no mayor."

[Reply #190 on:]

"I don't remember much, buddy. And you're no looker."

[Reply #191 on:]

If every Futurama episode were emotionally charged we would all get tired of it and it would lose all meaning. We need "fluff" episodes and episodes that don't build on a greater interwoven story to take a break and get some cheap laughs.

Also, Superking is one of the funniest nicknames i have ever heard and to this day i use it as my name whenever i set a highscore on anything.

[Reply #192 on:]

Superking is a type of cigarette in the UK, non?


"It was brisk, I dressed in layers".

[Reply #193 on:]

 Oui.

[Reply #194 on:]

Superking is a type of cigarette in the UK, non?

   
I'll just... ooze... back out under the door now...

[Reply #195 on:]

Yeah. With that carton it's easy to see why I remembered it after only having seen it once about 15 years ago..

[Reply #196 on:]

CITIZEN SNIPS!!!!!

[Reply #197 on:]

It is a great episode, I can not think of one futurama episode from the original series I do not like though. My favorite part of this episode I would have to say is when Leela tells her dad not to tell anyone her identity. After that the first chance he gets he tells his friend. The way he just comes out and said it is quite humorous.

[Reply #198 on:]

I quit smoking a long time ago but I've never wanted a cigarette more in my life than I do now.

[Reply #199 on:]

Fry: "I feel like I've been mauled by Jesus"



...

Fry: "Leela I think you're missing the big picture.  When you were a kid what was biggest fantasy?"
Leela: "To have parents."
Fry: "Whatever...the correct answer is to be a superhero."
