Sadly, I don't find "I Don't Want To Live on this Planet Anymore" a nerdy/Futurama-y thing to say anymore, since it's a huge meme and everyone knows about it...
I understand your frustration. Whenever I see people post that on Facebook--and these are the least nerdy people I know, people who I am sure have never actually watched Futurama--it bugs the crap out of me. On a somewhat related note: Tonight I was talking about something irksome with my friends and I said that it made me "angry with rage." Oh, how I wish they could have understood that reference.

I use "Good News Everyone" everytime I gather the kids for a family meeting, They don't always find it funny, since it's usually followed by bad news. Maybe someday they will get it!

Mainstream meme wise, otherwise, still kind of a cult thing.

That's awesome, especially using it for bad news just like the Professor. Are your kids not old enough to watch Futurama, or just not interested?
All four of them are old enough. Only 2 are interested in it. So were a divided house 3 against and 3 for!

I used to always quote the Molten Boron ad, not sure why though. And speaking of memes one of my favorites is "Your ____ is bad and you should feel bad!"

"I got ants in my butt, and I needs to strut!" I work this phrase into my every day conversations as often as I possibly can.

Whenever I am unsure or need to express uncertainty, I always say, "I don't knooow. I never heard of no mayor" except I use a variation of it: "I don't knooow, I never heard nothing about no mayor" I probably initially got the quote wrong but I've said it so many times that that's how the line appears to me now, heh.
And I say, "and then (s)he gets maaaaad" when I say something condescending or irritating.

I've noticed lately that I use some variation of Fry's quote from "The Honking"--"It'll be a rich, full day"--on, like, a near-daily basis. My apparent reliance on that quote makes me feel like I lead a far more satisfying, adventurous life than I actually do.

Haha, I just pictured you saying that with his voice. Good stuff I often say Professorisms, like "Ehhhwhaa" and then "WHAT!" I think I've also said "It's gonna be fun on a bun!" a few times.

Fixed, no?

Two vomit-related Futurama quotes that I use--either out loud or in my head--with surprising frequency: "puke my face off" and "drop a barf." For example, this morning I was so disgustingly tired that I wanted to puke my face off; a few days ago, I consumed so much food that I felt like I could drop a barf. In that second instance, I actually said "I'm gonna drop a barf" aloud to one of my friends; though she obviously didn't get the reference, she still found it quite an amusing turn of phrase. (The plus-side of having painfully un-nerdy friends is that they think all the witty things I say come from my own head, and not from Futurama. Makes me feel so clever!)

I have a feeling I'll be adding Leela's "Ewww...kay" from "A Farewell to Arms" to my rotation of daily-use Futurama quotes. It'll come in handy if someone ever asks me to do something unpleasant, like grab my own severed arm or change a diaper or kill a bug or something.

I was driving on a near-empty tank of gas today, and when the low fuel light came on, I thought to myself, "The out-of-fuel indicator, it's indicating!" (I would have said this out loud, as opposed to just thinking it--but I was the only one in the car at the time, and I'm not some sort of crazy person who talks to herself when nobody else is around. ) Anyway, this is a quote that often comes to my mind in situations like the above-described, and therefore seems worth mentioning in this particular thread.

I use "Wait... what?" all the time. I did use "To the Sciencemobile" once, meaning to go to my cube/office to investigate some anomaly, but sadly none of my co-workers are Futurama freaks, as far as I know.

*BUMPity BUMP BUMP*
I realized the other day at work that I have the following habit: Whenever a customer's order totals $10.77, I always mentally append my verbalization of that amount with "same as my pin number."
I ought to just start saying that part aloud, too; it's not my real pin number, after all. Besides, I doubt people would be interested in stealing from my checking account anyway, seeing as how I am a surly minimum wage employee at a grocery store who's worth absolutely nothing, financially or otherwise.
