Lamest line

[Reply #280 on:]

I LOVE the big brains voice! Ah well...

Er... From a deleted scene:

"Slop's on! Good thing I'm a robot, so I don't have to eat it."


Now I shall do a top of the page dance, for no raisen!

I agree with Asylum-Fry.That line really sucked.

Okay, that one was pretty good. And all of the other characters' lines in the episode are really great too. I just.. don't like that brain. o.o

[Reply #283 on:]

the deleted scene for a pharaoh to remember: just as the crew was about to leave for osiris 4, scruffy says "hold on there iron joe. when this plates a-spinnin', folks start a-grinnin'. [the plate falls and crashes] now you can go." that just seems completely pointless and stupid. pointless and stupid in a humorous way, though.

[Reply #284 on:]

Well, those scenes were deleted for a reason.

I would like to add any time Calculon alludes to his great ACTING TALENT!!!...

...as something that annoys me profoundly.

[Reply #285 on:]

I agree, I don't think we should include deleted scenes in here, as quality control stopped them from becoming part of the shows in the first place.

 Oh, and here's the lamest line of them all:

 "Please don't stop playing Fry. I wanna hear how it ends."

I just read this whole thread from start to finish so Iam gonna bring up something from a few pages back...
I wonder if the people who didn't like the grunka lunkas were unfamiliar with the Willy Wonka reference?  If you don't know about Oompa Loompas, that whole thing would make no sense.

As for the lamest lines:
In KGKUAK, when they're at the baby shower, and you hear the baby cry, and then see its Zoidberg.. that is soo stupid!
And one really lame line:
In TPWP, when Lrrr is going to eat Leela and she goes "Please! I just paid off my car!"  That's so lame.

 I didn't know it was a Willy Wonka reference when I first saw it. Still thought it was hillarious though.

[Reply #290 on:]

That's true, if you don't get the reference it's kind of obtuse, but still funny in a ridiculous way.

[Reply #291 on:]

And if you do know the reference, it's the greatest thing ever.

It's like me and the Heisenberg uncertainty principle joke...
I thought it was just the Prof. being weird (as he is known to be).
I'm not sure whether I prefer the real joke...

It could easily happen again to you folks!
So keep your head down and keep your mouth shut, Grunka-lunka-dunkety-dut!
The only problem I had with them was the "Hardass." "I heeard that!" scene. I felt it was kind of unnecesary.

[Reply #294 on:]

I'm sure if it was real, the Grunka Lunkas would've called Glermo much worse things.

[Reply #296 on:]

Personally, the line I can't stand at all was sort of a visual joke as well.  It's from "Three Hundred Big Boys": When Mushu pukes for what seems like forever, URL goes "It just keeps coming and coming."  THere's something about that line that... well... bugs me.  Maybe it's just the way it's used in context, but maybe it's something that I haven't figured out yet.

[Reply #297 on:]

Thinking about it, I don't like this one line that Fry says in "Cryogenic Woman" : "So it's a little safer than skateboarding" ...

[Reply #298 on:]

yeah, that was awful. especially with the little awkward pause afterwards.

 Phnog cracked me up. Don't diss him! His lines were great.

Even Cubert had good lines: "The illusion is perfect. For a second, I almost forgot I was looking at an IDIOT!"

But you know who has lame lines? Zoidberg.

Cubert has a small vocabulary. Therefore the only insulting word he knows is, idiot. That's why he always calls Fry or someone else an idiot. Farnsworth may think that Cubert is all smart but oh no. It is indeed Cubert who be the idiot. (Yes I am aware that he has said other bad words.)

Speaking of WTBR, I thought Fry's "Where?" lines (regarding Olympus Mons and the eye of the dust storm) were kind of lame.

I just read this whole thread for the first time...after determining that most of people's complaints were about lines and gags I rather liked, I was gonna say that even the lamest lines on Futurama are funny, but VoVat got me here.  Those two lines are lamelamelame, not the least bit funny, and not even in character (yo, writer! Fry is dumb, not blind! Sheesh). 

And I actually like "Buggalo" more than most fans...it sagged a lot in the middle, but I liked some of the bits on either end...

[Reply #304 on:]

I'm actually pretty fond of those lines. Though that may be because it often takes me a ridiculously long time to notice something that's directly in front of me. Just today, the poor clerk at the 7-11 had to tell me where the batteries were about three times before I figured it out... They were by the entrance. Good to know I'm blind, not dumb.

This one isn't meant to be a joke, but that doesn't stop it from making me cringe... From Leela's Homeworld: "Leela's going nuts and I can't save her unless I learn more about her mysterious past." I know they wanted to cut the exposition and rehash as short as possible, but it turned out all choppy and weird. Sounds like an excerpt from the back cover of a romance novel.

[Reply #305 on:]

Hey, Spacedal, you do know that Asylum-Fry hasn't posted here since before you joined, right?  It's kind of silly to respond to one of her posts now.

[Reply #306 on:]

"bring me the forms I need to fill out in order to have her taken away!" 
to many beurucrat jokes in one show man.

also, I liked the grunka lunkas because I hated the movie oompa loompas, because I loved the book oompa loomas. they totaly ruined them with the fucked up tecnicolor hair and skin. it's good to see them put in there place.

Guess again. Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.

Lame line... lame line... err... "Nine, Ten, a big fat hen. The names Bender."

It may have been amusing, but it was certainly lame, let alone pointless.

On topic:
"You're lonely and I'm lonely, but together, we're lonely together."

Katey made that line sound good, but whenever I think about it, it's just dumb.

I'll try to think of more lame lines...

[Reply #310 on:]

i think that whole axe instead of ask thing was stupid and pointless.

They were making fun of ebonics. I thought it was clever.

I think she meant she liked the oompa loompas in the book but didn't like them in the movie. Not that the book and movie were called oompa loompas.

Unless I misunderstood what you thought she thought...

well, in that case there would be a word missing. Meet with.

I'm afraid you're mistaken, Krokei, because then the subjects of kiffan's sentence would have become "movie" and "book," when clearly it was not the book or movie but the Oompa-loompas IN the book and the movie that she was discussing her feelings about.  "Movie" and "book" were used to modify the subject "Oompa-loompas."

It's as if I were talking about Aragorn in The Lord of the Rings, and said "I liked the movie-Aragorn more than the book-Aragorn." It doesn't mean I think either one is entitled "Aragorn," I just want to distinguish between the two Aragorns.  "With" changes the whole meaning of the sentence.  Grammatically, kiffan was perfectly accurate.
