Lamest line

[Reply #80 on:]

Like, Homer Simpson stupid?

[Reply #81 on:]

I thought the worst lines were all the lines said from Cubert, Dwight, and Leela's former karate instructer.  i.e.  "See you in girl hell! I'm going to boy hell, much nicer!"

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.

[Reply #84 on:]

i think the songs sung in the slurm factory episode by the gurnka lunkas were the worst lines (and songs) in the series

[Reply #85 on:]

Nahhh... they were pretty good. (Not the best, but good.)

Grunks Lunkas: Grunka lunka dunkity darmed guards--

Bender: Shut the hell up!!

[Reply #86 on:]

They kept doing it all through the show....
Fry had his moments but on average, he's quite thick....

[Reply #87 on:]

The Grunka Lunkas were anything but lame.

GLERMO: Hey, I'm not paying you to sing! You just used up today's bathroom break!
GRUNKA LUNKA: Hardass.
GLERMO: I heard that!

Quite possibly the best line from 1ACV13.

Agreed.

[Reply #89 on:]

But they had to be for Benders line.

One day I shall use that line. One day.

Michelle dumps Fry from 1ACV01 Space Pilot 3000

Street. Fry cycles past people enjoying their New Millenium Eve. A cab pulls up and he sees his girlfriend inside.

Fry: Michelle! Baby! Where you going?
Michelle: It's not working out Fry. (The cab pulls away.) I put your stuff out on the sidewalk!

You're crazy, Phnog was brilliant. "You were an excellent student ... too bad I was a lousy teacher!!"

Anyone else note that for each lame line posted, at least to other posters disagrees and say it's one of the best ever. I guess Futurama really had something for everybody.

to proove Teral's Law (as it shall be called in the future  ) I thought that was brilliant.. Also the same thing in Cryogenic Woman

[Reply #93 on:]

That was a great line in SP3K, but the line in The Cryonic Woman was a vastly inferior callback.

Fry: Michelle! Baby!
Michelle: It's not working out Fry. (the limo pulls away)
Pauly Shore: (shouting) 'tis better to have loved than lost! N'est pas? (makes stupid noises)

 Gawd. 

[Reply #94 on:]

As much as I love Futurama, there have been plenty of lame lines.

So why are people posting so many funny ones? Phnog and the Grunka Lunkas are classic.

not to be mean, but that's hilarious!

and although TLOTF may have had a lot of lame dialogue, but it also contained the line:
"Hey baby, ever done it in a suitcase?"
which more than makes up for 3 episodes of lame quotes.

"A successor for the professor?"

[Reply #97 on:]

i think the grunka lunkas were excellent.

professor; who are they?

worm thing; Why they're the grunka lunkas,

professor; tell them i hate them!


and as for the lamest line it has to be that, you cant give up i never gave up are you listening oh i give up crap. that was the worst acting i have ever heard in any show, in any country, at any time, in any life.
Surely no-one thought that was good or done well?

[Reply #98 on:]

That wasn't dire! But (no offense) your grammar is - the line is;
"You can't give up, Professor; there were plenty of times in my era when I was going to give up, but I never did.  Never! Are you even listening to me? Oh, I give up."

It wasn't that bad.
I think Leela's crying noises in general are pretty poor acting - the rest of it is pretty good, but those crying noises just make me cringe.

[Reply #99 on:]

Fry's "I give up" line in 1ACV08 might have been better had it not been dubbed over a totally incorrect lip movement with no expression. Wonder what the original aline was.

[Reply #100 on:]

I didn't notice the incorrect lip-sync, but I agree with everyone who thought that line was lame. It's one of those lines where it sounds like Fry is deliberately going out of his way to contradict himself instead of making a genuine comical slip-up, so it doesn't work for me.

"Hey thanks! I liked it when I wrote it but you never really know until you try it on an audience!" 

[Reply #101 on:]

phnog was the worst character ever, even michelle was more tollerable

[Reply #102 on:]

the grunka lunkas were great.
"Hey look! The disgusting little men are starting to sing!"
phnog really annoyed me though. the "don't give up" spiel was terrible; like every show, there were many lame lines i can't really remember b/c they were....lame.   

[Reply #103 on:]

i think i've blocked all the bad lines out of my memory

[Reply #104 on:]

Old Man Waterfall: You can crush me but you can't crush my spirit! Ah, my spirit!

Lame, but just about manages to be funny.

I've never had much of a problem with her crying, because usually whenever anyone cries on Futurama it's supposed to be funny, and the way she does it doesn't sound serious.

You mean like in WMIBACIL?

 Fry: Just look her in the eye, start crying, and say 'I've never been so happy'.
Leela: Ugh! If a guy ever did that to me, I'd know it. Wait a second. They've all been doing that to me. Even Shawn!
*runs off crying*

 That bit has me in stitches every time. 

[Reply #108 on:]

In The Why of Fry, during the countdown, it's interrupted by a woman asking if anyone is the owner of a car parked at...oh never mind.  And the countdown continues.  Know what I'm talking about?  L-A-M-E

[Reply #109 on:]

I thought the whole little dialogue in "Love's Labours..." where it's revealed Leela slept with Brannigan was just kind of awkward.  Bender's "So what, it's not like you slept with him or anything" just seemed to come out of nowhere.

I don't remember very many lame lines, to tell the truth, and believe me, I don't mind

 I wouldn't say that. You gotta admit that the way Leela was going "Nothing! We just talked!" was a bit of a giveaway.

"That's no excuse for ocean rudeness!"- since when does the professor side with Fry? Or even pay attention to what other people are saying.  It just doesn't jive with me.

[Reply #112 on:]

He wasn't siding with Fry, though...

Flag is withdrawn on account of gross senility.  Repeat the down.

[Reply #114 on:]

he wasn't siding foxyboxing,
he even said "he may have ocean rudeness, but"
there he's not siding with fry

[Reply #115 on:]

I believe his exact words were:

"He may have ocean maddness, but that's no excuse for ocean rudeness"

It seems to me like the Proffesor was only defending Fry not agreeing with him.

[Reply #116 on:]

In the X-Mas Episode:

"Nothing like a super-soaker full of fine conyack (spelling?)."

That was cringe worthy.

[Reply #117 on:]

"Is it a kind of hairspray?"

Why would it be? Lamest line ever.

[Reply #118 on:]

I agree that the ocean rudeness line was stupid.  But "Nothing like a warm fire and a super-soaker of fine cognac" is one of my favourite lines from Xmas story.  What's not to like? 

Also, I think Amy's hairspray line is not exactly inspired comedy, but it has to score some points for arbitrariness, which is always funny.

[Reply #119 on:]

The lamest lines are the jokes that are too popular and are not funny anymore.
Even though, I barely find a bad line in futurama.
