Worst episode??

[Reply #320 on:]

Whenever I see a Nibbler-centered episode (with the exception of "The Why of Fry" ), I am reminded of Kazoo from the Flintstones.  Am I the only one who thinks this way.

It would make more sense to me to leave Nibbler a perpetually hungry pet than a member of a super-intelligent and super-cute beings.  Well, I just keep wondering why Nibbler hangs out with the crew in the first place.  Doesn't he have anything better to do than that?

[Reply #321 on:]

No he has to keep an eye on Fry

[Reply #322 on:]

It's his station. Remember the end of TWOF? "I have to remain undercover." He's there to avert disaster when things like a Brainspawn invasion happen. I think it's very cute how they made a parody of an "Illuminati"-like organization.

I don't, I think they're both really good episodes 

[Reply #325 on:]

I love the Honking. Not too keen on Bendin in the wind although I like to see the rest of the crew as 'hippies'.

[Reply #326 on:]

Yeah, the Honking was an ok episode...the haunted castle bits were cool...Bendin' In the Wind was mostly forgettable, but I liked the part with Zoidberg & his homemade love beads.

[Reply #327 on:]

I liked The Honking and Bendin' In The Wind, as it has a 60's VW Campervan in it and I love them vans! 

[Reply #328 on:]

Yeah, those VW Campervans rule, and that chase was awesome   

[Reply #329 on:]

I like all the episodes.
But the badest have to be when "MOM" has something to do with dem.

I actually first saw this episode in Germany, but the song was still in English so that was okay  Also the music on that episode is quite cool 

[Reply #331 on:]

personally i dont think there is such thing as a "worst episode" for futurama....it rox come on

[Reply #332 on:]

I don't think there is a bad episode of Futurama.  I like them all.

[Reply #333 on:]

 Have i told you how awesome your avy is.

[Reply #334 on:]

I love Bending in the Wind, and the Honking is pretty good.

But i don't like 'Hell is Other Robots' and 'Anthology of Interest II'.

[Reply #335 on:]

hell is other robots was good as was bending in the wind, but i agree with you on the anthology of interest II.

[Reply #336 on:]

I like Hell is Other Robots - does that make me a freak? 
The worst episode in my opinion would be That's Lobstertainment!, for so many reasons (like it was cr*p). OK, so it had quite a good one liners, but the overall plot just didn't seem "right" to me.

[Reply #337 on:]

A Pharoah To Remember - Worst. Episode. Ever.

[Reply #338 on:]

i agree, it had little comedy, some kind of a morale, a bad plot, and was boring. in my opinion it was just....there. no point, no plot, not all that funny. just there..... that episode sucked!

of course, it was better than some of the best episodes of other shows.

[Reply #339 on:]

Yeah Far of Bot planet SUCKED

[Reply #340 on:]

the deep south made fun of atlanta, so it sucked.

[Reply #341 on:]

I loved A Pharoah To Remember. "Free us from thought and responsibility." That episode expresses my view of religion perfectly. What? Can't take a little adverse satire?

I'd have to go with Lobstertainment for worst episode, although I liked that one too.

[Reply #342 on:]

lobstertainment was pretty funny. i don't understand why people dont like it.

[Reply #343 on:]

I like lobstertainment tons!

I think my three suns is kind of weak.  Too much time spent on those silly water guys, not enough Zoidberg.

SILENCE! I do not concur!

[Reply #345 on:]

I can't stand "That's Loberstertainment."

I CAN stand "Fear of a Bot Planet," after all, "behold my mighty system of organs!"

[Reply #346 on:]

Fear of a Bot Planet was really good (although maybe I was swung by all the apple mac references  )...

[Reply #347 on:]

I wasn't so keen on Fear of a Bot Planet.  And I loved the Robot Hell ep but I'm biased as hell because I'm a musician.    I don't like The Cryonic Woman after Michelle shows up.  It just sort of slowed down a little.

[Reply #348 on:]

I liked Fear Of A Bot Planet and Hell Is Other Robots, but I'm not a fan of The Cryonic Woman. I also think that That's Lobstertainment and A Pharaoh To Remember are underrated.

[Reply #349 on:]

I like bendin in the wind, Beck rocks. I saw him live at the first Witnness festival and he ruled.

[Reply #350 on:]

I like A Pharoah To Remember, and That's Lobstertainment isn't so bad. I think the worst episode by far is The Cryonic Woman, with The Route Of All Evil coming second.

[Reply #351 on:]

The fact that so many people seemed to enjoy "Pharaoh" I find shocking.  It's one thing if and ep just kind of bores me (Fear of a Bot Planet is one that comes readily to mind), but for an episode to actually piss me off, well that's quite an acomplishment.  And this is exactly what Pharaoh to Remember did.  I'm hugely fond of Bender, but here I just wanted to visit untold suffering upon his shiny metal ass.  Obnoxious Bender is funny.  Sociopathic jerk-ass Bender is not.  And slavery is only funny when it's the Austrailian guy.  Elton John was annoying. Zoidberg singing 'Londonderry Air' was annoying. Even the DVD commentary for this ep was annoying!  I'll grant that it was pretty special to look at, and Fry had some good one liners, but on the whole, I could go the rest of my life without seeing this episode again and I'd die a happy man.

The Why of Fry and The day the earth stood stupid.......hated them both!!

You might find that you're in a minority there.
And I can't even begin to understand why anyone would consider Hell is Other Robots a weak episode. Not only is it a brilliant episode, but it's one of the best EVER! Along with I Roommate, Loves Labours..., Fear of a Bot Planet, and Fry and the Slurm Factory, it represents the very best of Season 1.
Not that I actually dislike any episode of Futurama, but the weakest has to be That's Lobstertainment, and A Leela of Her Own. And even those have several great moments in them.

[Reply #354 on:]

i dont like the eps when nibbler is smart and stuff.....there not that funny and explain to much stuff...i thought the why of fry was interesting but not one bit funny.....i dont like episodes which there purpose is just to explain stuff like how fry got frozen and crap....some parts were preety funny but it was deffinately one of my least favorites

[Reply #355 on:]

I didn't see TWOF, but I loved The Day The Earth Stood Stupid.  Funny ep!  I dunno why everyone hates A Leela Of Her Own.  Well, maybe cos I like Leela and baseball is why I'm the only one who thought it was good.

Oh, oh, a welcome!  Welcome to PEEL, YourPalJay. 

[Reply #356 on:]

I liked a leela of her own.....thats one of my favs....i am a big baseball fan so thats probably why i like it too

[Reply #357 on:]

It's not one of my favs, but I like it.  I actually hate the part where Hermes is like "neh".  That's probably the lamest Futurama joke.  Didn't make me laugh and it's been done.

[Reply #358 on:]

I didnt like where the buggalo roam.

SILENCE! Neither do I.

Aaanyway. I didn't like A Fishful of Dollars...actually, pretty much all of the Mom episodes leave me cold. There's usully some good bits in there ("I don't think you realize how rich he is!" [points at monocle] "Eh? Ehhh?" ), but the character just never worked for me.
