my DVR re-recorded some episodes i had recorded from a long time ago today, and i noticed something very strange. one of the episodes was "War is the H-Word" during the scene where everyone is training in the obstacle course or whatever, when lee lemon finishes first Zapp Brannigan says "Yes, he edged out my old mark by 2 seconds, and 16 minutes..." then he goes to slap lee lemon on the butt to get slapped in the face. now as i remember, Zapp should have said "Yes, he edged out my old mark by 2 seconds, and 16 minutes. I do plan to finish someday Kiff" why would they cut off literally 2 seconds of dialogue? what benefit would that have for anyone? other then maybe the fact that they know they are going to drive people like me crazy lol. i saw a similar thing happen in another episode today. it was "Parasites Lost" when they are escaping from the pollen attack in the nose, Zoidberg says they can escape through the nasal capillary into the sinus or whatever. but the normal interaction between him and hermes saying "you usually don't know anything about human anatomy" where Zoidberg says "i saw it in a decongestant commercial... Soothing action action action..." that interaction was completely cropped out! what is the deal with that?! its annoying to expect something to happen and see it has been cut out for no apparent reason

I mentioned this in the News thread in General, but yes it is true they are cutting seconds in each episode. I noticed this lately when it's been in sydnication on regular tv.

You should have bought the Bender Head Collection when it was offered.
Come on, you didn't see it coming.

A nerd who checks his facts? That is unspeakable here!  Anyways, long time no see Binder. Nice to see a fellow user from the PEEL 1 days.

As a total Futurama nut, this was bugging me so much I bought the Bender head last week.  Just tonight I saw an explanation about syndication from DXC on the home page of CGEF. I guess if it has to be done, I'm glad it is the writers doing it and not the execubots at Comedy Central. 2 that I noticed: - In Raging Bender, he says "See you at the fight" then they cut back to the PE building and he says "and then I said 'See you at the fight'" The 2nd line is missing. - The infamous I, Roommate glitch where Hermes' mouth does not move when he says "We'll bill you for the couch" is not a glitch anymore! Because he doesn't even say it at all! Maybe we should consider it a challenge to find them all? Crud, that might force me to fire up the DVR again.....

The cropping messes up the routine...I don't know, like I said I've seen the episodes so many times that I know the script by heart, so last weekend when I was at leiapadme's place and we were watching the recorded episodes, when it would cut out a line it was kinda funny because all of us would come out with the line it missed.

I read on the Infosphere it's because the Prime Minister of Norway recently died. Dunno how recent, but some may still find it offensive.

If people find that offensive, then they shouldn't be watching the show. And I believe he did, Tedward! They cut out a lot of good lines from that episode. Like the part about the skater kid's girlfriend lording it over Michelle with her fancy coyote hide...and that 2 second delay after Fry says "Oh, so it's a little safer than skateboarding" and he closes his mouth, and smiles briefly, and closes it again. It's the little stuff like that that makes the show great and pisses me off when they cut it for time

Ah, here, Randi...
After the 2011 Norway attacks, in some syndicated re-runs of the episode, the career chip of the severed arm which Bender has scanned displays "Chainsaw Juggler" instead of "Prime Minister of Norway".

I noticed one awhile ago in "The Day the Earth Stood Stupid" where the crew is getting all excited about the stupid things they're going to do and Bender yells;
"Hey everybody, let's go join the Reform Party!"
Which they changed to:
"Hey everybody, let's go join the Tea Party!"
I don't understand the point of "updating" jokes like this to make them seem more current. Some of the best jokes from old Simpsons episodes are even funnier because they're dated and make you remember something funny from when the episode was new.

That's okay, we'll hold onto our dusty old DVD collections, and claim that the new high-definition 3D re-re-re-releases of classic Futurama episodes are totally inferior to their original form. We'll be able to bitch constantly about how Bender shot first, and it was supposed to be Nixon's head in the jar, not George W Bush.

Just watched it on Comedy Central on Comcast and it still had "Prime Minister of Norway". What channel was it airing on in your area?

I noticed the magic marker penis line and Amy's orgy line (when she has the costume on) were missing from Rebirth and In-A-Gadda-Da-Leela, but that was because it was on before 8pm...
