I don't believe he ever had sex with Petunia.  Also, he may not have had sex with the radiator.  Let's not forget that nearly the ENTIRE epsiode of The Sting (including that scene)  was a dream by Leela.

Ditto: If you've seen 'The Sting' feel free to read this.

Two-thirds of 'The Sting' was Leela's space-bee venom-indiced hallucination, so whatever went on in the episode was what Leela thought was true. Evidently she thought Fry had sex with Petunia.
Although I just can't see it...
Yeccha!

Amy's answer has to be my favorite "no" in the whole series.  Such delicately-shaded emotion.

well first of all she's crazy and second of all she got the kid all these fancy dresses and told her to use fancy hangers. Why there were even wire hangers in the house is beyond me, but hey child abuse is always "fun"

But I think I mentioned this before, but the one person Leela should know Fry tried to have sex with, Umbrellie the mermaid, was not there. I guess the writers have an odd definition of "sex."

She doesn't count. They never did it.

[Reply #167 on:]

The only ones that we can confirm are Amy, Morgan Proctor, and Michelle. We can't be certain of any of the others. (It could be possible that Fry evaded the Amazonians until he was rescued.)

[Reply #168 on:]

Then how do you explain the pelvis casque at the end of "Amazon Women In The Mood"? Too much running?  Zapp said he "had snoo-snoo", and he's in the same condition as Fry.

We can also confirm Mildred, but I see the problem in getting her to attend Fry's funeral.

[Reply #169 on:]

I don't get the scene in Brannigan, begin again when Fry and Bender are spraying water at each other and Leela breaks it up and says "This is the third hose fight I've broken up today, the second time using actual hoses"

[Reply #170 on:]

It means that one of those times, Fry used his lower horn instead.

[Reply #171 on:]

That's disturbing.  Oh well, thanks Otis. 

[Reply #172 on:]

Unless she broke up a fight between two HO's?!

[Reply #173 on:]

What about that "Change places!" scene in Insane in the Mainframe? Is that a reference to anything?

[Reply #174 on:]

Sorry if this have been asked before!
What does Farnsworth mean with "Sweden? I don't think so!" in "Bend Her"? [4ACV13]

that is a reference to the Mad Hatter in Alice in Wonderland... the robot is supposed to look like and be the mad hatter and in AIW he does the same thing

I don't think it's supposed to mean anything.  Farnsworth is just angry at all the people cheering for their country and is trying to dihearten the Sweeden supporters.

So he would do the same thing to for example Finnish supporters?  Just thought Groening had something againt Swedes. For example making fun of IKEA and Abe in Simpsons jelling "The Swedes are coming"

Cheers.

I never thought of it that way before...

[Reply #179 on:]

Another joke I didn't get is in Bender Gets Made, when Zoidberg says "I'm coming down!"  What's that supposed to mean?

[Reply #180 on:]

I'm presuming it was from a "high", the "nice" period when you're on drugs.

[Reply #181 on:]

He's coming down from the drugs he was given, and it doesn't feel so good.  I think that's one of the best Zoidberg lines ever.

[Reply #182 on:]

Thanks!  Lots of people were saying that that line was so funny and I never really understood why, but now it makes sense.

[Reply #183 on:]

Zoidberg looked HILARIOUS with those huge pupils 

[Reply #184 on:]

Speaking of Bender Gets Made what was that little creature thing that replied to Hattie when she said "how's my cyst?"

[Reply #185 on:]

It was supposed to look like that Taco Bell dog, since they were at the Taco Bellevue Hospital.

[Reply #186 on:]

Yeah, they mention that on the commentary.  I think it was Matt Groening who said, "If you ever want to avoid a potential lawsuit, just give the character an 'alien antenna' to make it noticably distinguishalbe" or something to that sort.

[Reply #187 on:]

Ah, thanks. I caught onto the lawsuit bit but didn't understand it was supposed to be a dog (being as I've never seen it before). I did have an idea that it was some copyrighted thing though.

"Alright, what the hell was this from "Less Than Hero"?

???

As someone already mentioned, "Nine, ten, a big fat hen" is from a nursery rhyme.  It was just a random, meaningless statement that tied into the "Nine" and "ten" that had just been used.  I thought it was hillarious just because it was so random.  Maybe the best line in that episode.

[Reply #189 on:]

Q: How do you even know if something is a joke, if you don't understand it?

And what about that "Grande" phrase that he uttered?   

[Reply #191 on:]

It's Spanish for "big."  Certain items on Taco Bell's menu have "grande" in their names.

[Reply #192 on:]

Ok here is one.. Don't read it unless u have watched Bender Should Not Be Allowed on TV. (TV pArTyy TooNiGhT!)

Show spoiler

* During the Network Execu-Bots part, when that guy walked in after the 3 robots, was he drawn to look like some Evil FOX Exe as a spoof? I mean i thought that was the big boss until he stoped and opened the laptop. And the laptop's voice, it must be some spoof of someone seeing as this one of the last Futurama episodes...*

[Reply #193 on:]

I figured it was just supposed to be the stereotypical evil-TV executive.  I personally didn't read too much into it.

[Reply #194 on:]

Yeah, the first time I watched it, that's what I thought.  I don't really get if that was a joke or not, though.

What has IKEA to do with the swedish ppl?
Nothining i have from IKEA is in one pice anymore, and they all broke down the same way the robot did, so funny 

I didn't get that keeglesizer joke...what makes it so dirty??

[Reply #196 on:]

ChAnCe - When the execubots said the chairman of the network is coming and then made way for that guy you were supposed to think that this was the chairman. Then he puts down the actual chairman and walks off.

[Reply #197 on:]

YEah thats what I mean...
Perhapes they intentionaly made it to look like some REAL-LIFE Fox Exe fella (something like an inside joke) and at the very last minute before FOX sues thier pants off, the guy puts down the laptop and walks away..

[Reply #198 on:]

Sorry if this has already been mentioned, but I don't have time to read through five pages of this stuff.

In "I, roomate", when the cast is sitting down to watch All My Circuits, Zoidberg is handing around a plate of what looks like crab or lobster claws, and Hermes takes one and takes a bite and says "this is great!" and Zoidberg says "Thank you, I made them myself", and Hermes promtly spits out the contents of his mouth in disgust.

The hell?

[Reply #199 on:]

I think Hermes was suddenly worried that when Zoidberg said "I made them myself"....well, he meant without the aid of a stove...or any cooking utensils whatsoever
