Twisted Trivia

[Reply #360 on:]

This is quite an easy one. What connects:

Why Must I be a Crustacean in Love?
Put Your Head on My Shoulder
I Dated a Robot
Spanish Fry
The Sting
The Devil's Hands are Idle Playthings

[Reply #361 on:]

Fry gets a part of his body lopped off?

[Reply #362 on:]

Yep, your turn Mouse On Venus.

[Reply #363 on:]

I'm not gonna have time to come up with one this time, so I'll let someone else have my turn. Go!

[Reply #364 on:]

I've got a fairly obscure one:

What connects X-Mas Story with Bicyclops Built For Two

[Reply #365 on:]

I have no clue but I'm pretty sure the 24 hr rules applies by now.

[Reply #366 on:]

They both have guest appearences by former simpsons writer. Conan O'brian was in X-mas story and one of the internet nerds in Bicyclops built for two is David Coen.

[Reply #367 on:]

wow...
that was obscure.
okay!
new question.

*EDIT*
Okay I have a question:
What connects The Series Has Landed and Spanish Fry?

[Reply #368 on:]

I guess this is over the 24hr period but I'll have a guess anyway. Would it be the use of the catch phrase "One of these days X: BANG! ZOOM! Straight to Y?" (said by the Jackie Gleason robot in TSHL and Lrrr in SF)

[Reply #369 on:]

That would be correct!

[Reply #370 on:]

Neat. 

Now, besides the obvious fact that they're both about telling the story of Fry's past through flashbacks, what connects:

 The Luck Of The Fryrish
 Jurrasic Bark

[Reply #371 on:]

They are both sad episodes?

[Reply #372 on:]

Not the answer I'm looking for.

[Reply #373 on:]

Yansy(sp?)(Fry's brother) or Fry's parents are in both of them?

[Reply #374 on:]

Again, we're going into the story about Fry's past here. It's not the one I'm looking for!

 Here, lemme dish out a clue: it is something that is said in one episode and done in the other.

[Reply #375 on:]

Reference to the Rose Bowl on Jan 1st 2000?

[Reply #376 on:]

Nope.

[Reply #377 on:]

Okay...
Col. Mustard says: "Get a clue!"

[Reply #378 on:]

Another one? Losers!

 Alright, it's to do with sports entertainment.

[Reply #379 on:]

Yancy says that he's going to piledrive our Fry in "Fryrish", and in "Jurassic Bark" Leela actually does piledrive Amy?

[Reply #380 on:]

See, it's easy to get when I spell it out! 

 Your turn, Sammy.

[Reply #381 on:]

w0070r5! Alright, what links:

"I Second That Emotion"
"Xmas Story"
"The Lesser of Two Evils"
"30% Iron Chef"
"A Leela of Her Own"
"Leela's Homeworld"
"The Sting" and finally...
"The Devil's Hands Are Idle Playthings"?

Go!

[Reply #382 on:]

Would it have anything to do with the fact that Leela cries in every one of those episodes?

[Reply #383 on:]

It would have everything to do with that fact. As that's the connection.

Knew I should have made the list shorter!

[Reply #384 on:]

What connects:

"Fear Of A Bot Planet"
"Where The Buggalo Roam"
"The Why Of Fry"

And this time I want a good few guesses before I start having to dumb it down with clues! 

[Reply #385 on:]

someone tries to kill someone in each episode?
FOABP: Robots try to kill fry+leela
WTBR: Native Martians try to kill kif
TWOF: Fry and nibblonians try to kill brains

EDIT: Wait, I got a better idea!
all episodes involve elders!
FOABP: Robot elders
WTBR: Martian elders
TWOF: Nibblonian elders

[Reply #386 on:]

No and no.

[Reply #387 on:]

And the beat goes on.

[Reply #388 on:]

I wish SuperFry were here. He'd make guesses that would stop anyone feeling stupid about getting it wrong.

 Alright, losers, here's a clue: the link is to do with commanding.

[Reply #389 on:]

I'm sure this is wrong but I'm gonna try anyway.
in FOABT bender is in command of the other robots
in WTBR Kiff in the end is in command of the buggalo(this is already falling apart)
in TWOF the nibblonians are in command of fry
Idk like I said I know this is wrong but maybe it'll get somebody else thinking

[Reply #390 on:]

Good try, though! 

[Reply #391 on:]

one more try:
(this one seems fairly obvious, if this is correct, i'll go insane)
All involve ancient "groups"?
FOABP: Robots (robots dont age, so they could be very old)
WTBR: Martians (they look old, at least)
TWOF: Nibblonians (Nibbler is at least 1000 years old)

wait, nevermind. i forgot sbout the clue...
commanding... hmmm...

maybe if i combine two of mine:
FOABP: RObots are lead by bender/other robot/robot elders
WTBR: Martians are lead by the one main martian 'chief'
TWOF: fry is lead by nibbler/nibblonians

[Reply #392 on:]

There's a council of elders in each episode?

[Reply #393 on:]

No. I'll give you another clue: it's an action performed to get other people to do stuff or for things to happen.

[Reply #394 on:]

rain dance?

[Reply #395 on:]

Rain dance?! I dunno what show you've been watching...

[Reply #396 on:]

Someone gets taken hostage?
Bender by Robots
Amy by Martians
Fry by Nibblonians
"I was just kidnapped by a bunch of Guinea Pigs!"

Any closer?

[Reply #397 on:]

You know what, that's not it, but I wish I'd gone with that for a connection instead. It's better than mine, trust me!

 You're on the right lines by mentioning the robots, Martians and Nibblonians anyways.

[Reply #398 on:]

Going waaaaaaaaaaaay out on a limb here...

In each episode a sound or alert is used to command/notify people.

FOABP:  2 sound blasts are used, one to signify a human alert and another to signify their human-hunt.
WOF:  The nibblonian blows a horn to start the Feast of a Thousand Beasts
WTBR:  The "Dinner's Over" sound that is heard that commands the sand-storm.

[Reply #399 on:]

EDIT: Actually, since starting tomorrow I'll be in New York until Friday, I'll accept Drippy_Taco's answer because it is pretty close to the correct one.

 The actual connection was that they all feature someone playing a musical instrument to command others:
 FOABP - Robot 'plays' horn (which makes Apple Mac startup sound) to signal the beginning of the human hunt.
 WTBR - Singing Wind plays a whistle to start the martian throat singing tornado.
 TWOF - Nibblonian plays a trumpet (badly) to start The Feast of 1,000 Feasts.

 So your turn D_T.
