Do you have a frame grab of this?

I find it hard to believe considering "Marge Be Not Proud" aired in December 1995, several years before Futurama was conceptualized.

Welcome to PEEL. Enjoy it here.

[Reply #2 on:]

maybe it was just a coincidence? or the formation of an early plan? or you got the wrong episode?

[Reply #3 on:]

no ive just seen it on tv now i'll buy the dvd and get a screen capture

[Reply #4 on:]

actually forget that it in season 7 and that hasnt been released on dvd yet so.....

[Reply #5 on:]

anyone who can get to see this episode its at the part where marge dosn't tuck bart in like i said its on the shelf above bart's bed

[Reply #6 on:]

Well, if I do see it, I'll state it, and probably others will as well.

As Teral said, Welcome to PEEL. There are a few rules and guidelines here (such as not double/triple posting - there is an edit button) as listed in the PEELer's FAQ.

Have "fun". Yeah, I finally got to welcome someone! wooo!

Horrible Gelatinous Blob looks very similar to the "Space Mutants" used in the early Simpsons episodes (and in one of the original shorts on the "Tracy Ullman Show", when Bart, Lisa, and Maggie go to see one of the Space Mutant movies.  Look to the first season episode "The Telltale Head" for another early appearance).  So it wasn't the Blob, just a Space Mutant toy that has always been in the design for Bart's room.

[Reply #8 on:]

well that explains the blob but im sure i saw bender...
i suppose ill have to wait untill its on again (ill have the vcr ready to record then ill hook it up to the pc and get a screen shot)

Im guessing the idea for "Amazon women in the mood" came from the simpsons episode when Homer was screaming and they figured out it was Smither's father's skeleton on homers lap that caused him to scream. Burns said he told smithers his father died from a pack of "wild amazon women" or something like that. Couldve been the other way around too.

"The Blunder Years" aired in December 2001, "Amazon Women In The Mood" aired in February 2001. Although it aired in December TBY was actually part of the CABF production (season 12), meaning both episodes were actually produced simultaneously.

 

Couldve been the other way around too.

Or maybe they booth were inspired by the Greek legend of an all-female tribe of fierce warriors called the Amazons, some of which aided the city of Troy in their war against the greek invaders.

All the bedroom shots in Marge Be Not Proud basically look like this;

[Reply #13 on:]

I don't see it anywhere.

[Reply #14 on:]

If you looks closer, that robot toy up there has similar arms to Bender. Although, certainly it's easier to tell the difference between some green Robot who wears over-sized soccer shoes and the loveable rascal Bender...

Ebotron may be refering to the picture Homer drew in his bed, that also had a robot that looked nothing like Bender in:


edit: come to think of it, I think we might of actually seen that robot, or a similar one, on "Futurama"...

[Reply #15 on:]

Here's a few more shots;

HGB/Space Mutant can be seen on this one.

Can't see any robots ...

Another angle, alien can be seen but no Bender.

[Reply #16 on:]

Is it just me or does that robot on the shelf look like the doctor in Insane in the Mainframe? Perhaps I'm just blind.

[Reply #17 on:]

no it was the robot on the shelf that I thought was bender - alas however it is not thanks for clearing that up

[Reply #18 on:]

hey.  at least you were right about the monster.
To bad "bender" just turned out to be a green headless normal robot.

[Reply #19 on:]

Does anyone know which ep. where we first meet crushinator??  I saw it in germany so i didnt understand anything but i think it was in season 1.  (also, in a later comic, (ie. freaky fry day) bender also meets crushinator and "junior"(the fruit of his "software"  ).
Anyway, i know this doesnt pertain to this thread, but it kind of seemed a waste to start a whole new thread.

[Reply #20 on:]

The first time I saw crushinator was in episode 2ACV08 'Raging Bender' where Bender becomes a professional wrestler after winning a fight against "The Masked Unit" in a movie theater. But that was in season 2 I don't remember seeing him in season 1, but I could be wrong as I have'nt seen any of the season 1 episodes in a long time, but I did order the futurama boxsets a couple of days ago, when they turn up I'll check to see if he's in any of the ealier episodes.

well thanks anyway but i looked at all my dvds and tapes and i found it. Its on ep. 2 where...

Show spoiler

* the P.E. crew go to the moon and fry takes one of the rovers from the apollo lander ride and they run out of air. Then they find a farmer (on the moon  ) and bender is there sleeping with one of his robot "daughters."(so thats where we first meet crushinator!*

Alright, now who knew Bender was a father?

[Reply #22 on:]

Actually, didn't Bender deny the accusations of sleeping with the Crushinator? "A woman that fine you have to date first". Unless, gullable me has just interpreted another joke incorrectly.

Just wondering, how many appearances did the Crushinator actually make?

[Reply #23 on:]

Opps! Sorry I think I got two robots mixed up, I was thinking of the wresting robot, what was his name, he's the one in the episode I mentioned, the guy whos "use in war has been made a war crime", I think he was called destructor or something like that.

[Reply #24 on:]

yea destructor was first seen in that episode (raging bender)

[Reply #25 on:]

Yeah, you're thinking of Destructor. He's also made quite a few appearances too...

[Reply #26 on:]

as for the crushinator I know she was in the crimes of the hot as well but i dont remember seeing her anywhere else (apart from ep 2 the season has landed)

[Reply #27 on:]

isnt she in the lesser of two evils as a lap dancer?

[Reply #28 on:]

I seem to recall Crushinator appeared in three four episodes:

The Series Has Landed,
Mother's Day,
Lesser of Two Evils
Crimes of the Hot (for a moment at least)

There could be more, but those are the ones I remember.

Edited 'cuz I forgot one...

Does anyone understand the beauty of sarcasm any more?

[Reply #34 on:]

Maybe we should do what Homer Simpsons does and add "in case you can't tell I was being sarcastic" at the end of the sentance, even if it's really obvious.

Sarcasm: A cutting, often ironic remark intended to wound.

Edit: Or were you being sarcastic there?
