It's the little things...

[Reply #240 on:]

I think the "skeleton" of Bender has always been as inconsistent as the ship's layout. He's got hundreds of little functions that all somehow fit in a boday that's 60% storage space!

[Reply #241 on:]

Not just the ship. The PlanEx building too. Rooms appear whenever they're needed.




Pardon me, would you have any Grey Poupon?



Bite my tiny metal ass control.



Love the campaign poster.


Couldn't find a recent voice acting thread, so I'm plopping this thought here. We all know the entire cast rocks and the ones that do "foreign" accents all have an A-game. But there's one that stands out for me: Dave Herman. He seems to have an especially good ear for picking out those little quirks in pronunciation that make certain words or phrases just that much more memorable. He manages to squeeze at least 10% more funny out of any given line. Ok 30%.

These are the main ones on my mind:

Chairman Koji (The 30% Iron Chef)
Emperor Nikolai (The Prisoner of Benda)
Animatronio (The Duh-Vinci Code)
Pazuzu (Teenage Mutant Leela's Hurdles)
Fnog (Raging Bender)

And I think he does

Fabricio (Free Will Hunting)

but it's just a guess. Anyone have any intel on this? Can't find anything on the internets(yeah, I know. Fabricio's not "foreign", but whateva).

Also, I always thought Fnog was Billy, but the internets says otherwise. Easy to confuse these guys sometimes.


Well, someone here must be a total Zoidberg.

No! It will never stop!
It's surprisingly frustrating to watch.

Emperor Nikolai (The Prisoner of Benda)
Animatronio (The Duh-Vinci Code)

Some foreign accents can be too emphasized, if you forget they're meant to be funny.

It's very choppy. You've either lost too many in between frames, or the framerate is too slow. Almost a perfect loop though, so I can't complain too much about it.

[Reply #246 on:]

It gets choppier every moment, couldn't have to much frames (tough there were quite a lot) it worked out for the loop so it's fine to me;)

While watching Amazon Women in the Mood I noticed that the Amazon with the blue mohawk had sex with Zapp and Fry.  I thought that Kiff was the only one the women were going to tag team.

[Reply #248 on:]

MOAR SNU SNU!
 Good find!

[Reply #249 on:]

sex with Zapp

!!

This shot lasts for 3-seconds. Just had to put it up for posterity.



We take them to our leader. She know what do.

BTW, Bea Arthur is hilarious. This ep still holds up very well. RIP Bea.

(Nerd Note: If anyone decides to re-watch this ep, notice the day-time Amazonian skies, particularly the clouds)

[Reply #251 on:]

Using "Nerd Note" in a forum for Futurama fans who like to dissect episodes and examine the show's minutiae is redundant.

Nice find of a beautiful scene!

[Reply #252 on:]

It does look quite beautifull, but my mind has to ruin it by letting me notice a funny face in the moon

[Reply #253 on:]

Not as bad as the shocked face on the totem pole thing on the right.

[Reply #254 on:]

Occasionally moons seem to be huge in Futurama... Well, I can't complain, when it makes a beautiful night scene with it.

[Reply #255 on:]

Nailed it SparkyB. It's easier to tear something down than build something up

I really like the moon-lit highlights on the straw roofs(rooves?) And the glow coming off the moon. Also the aerial perspective from the lower lit detail in the distance.

[Reply #256 on:]

A bit sensitive, Koobooki? Perhaps I should've added a smiley afterwards to show that I was kidding?

Here's a right back at you.

[Reply #257 on:]

Perhaps, but the rolley eyes weren't necessarily for you, just in general. I cried on my own birth day, that's just how sensitive I am

[Reply #258 on:]

Amazonia is probably closer to it's moon than we are to ours.

[Reply #259 on:]

Or just bigger. Also, I think they often try to simulate long lens moon photography. Just my guess, of course.

[Reply #260 on:]

That's a really pretty moon. I really wish Earth's moon was that large.

Y'know, those houses look pretty flammable. Bender could have let off a massive burp if he wanted to trigger a diversion that could have possibly helped them escape.

[Reply #261 on:]

He could've probably escaped, but I don't think the fire spreading through the village and jungle would have been very good for his flammable meatbag companions

Yeah, he probably could escape rather easily; the Amazonians clearly have no idea how to secure chains!

Just rewatched The Bots And The Bees when I noticed Leela's dress in the Bot Mitzvah. How did I not see that before!  

[Reply #267 on:]

It's Bar Mitzvah (son) and Bat Mitzvah (daughter) so it's probably Bot Mitzvah.

[Reply #268 on:]

You mean the fact that she's dressed up? She can look quite classy when she removes her wrist thingy. I like the little hairl-twirl by her ear they do when they dress her up.

[Reply #269 on:]

Same outfit was more my point, I tought it was a new one nand I've watched TBaTB a hundred times or so...

She should wear her hair loose instad of that pony tail more often.

[Reply #270 on:]

With that outfit, Leela has pearls on her. I think there is not so many of those Groening-pearls in Futurama as there is in Simpsons, or am I wrong? If you think about them, they look goofy.

[Reply #271 on:]

So, don't think about them. Then they won't look as goofy Are you thinking of Lisa's pearls? Maybe Leela's a fan.

Same outfit was more my point

Same as what? Which ep?

[Reply #272 on:]

She also wears that same outfit in "The Late Philip J. Fry."

[Reply #273 on:]

Good memory   And I just now noticed Bender's little bow tie in Eternium's pic, above.

Don't forget, that's not even a real bow tie. It's magnetic!

[Reply #275 on:]

I appreciate that repetitive dress.
A minimum wage employee will probably not have a different dress for every arising occsasion.

[Reply #276 on:]

As well as that, Fry seems to be a fan of the turtleneck. 

[Reply #277 on:]

He looks rather dashing wearing it as well.

[Reply #278 on:]

Yeah, Fry looks so much more s'phistcated in those colours as well as cut(or whatever the correct fashion term is).

[Reply #279 on:]

Aha! Get it? A Carl Sagan outfit? Cause it's the future and they go to space a lot?! No? I'll just show myself out then....
