The Goof Thread

[Reply #240 on:]

In Route of All Evil, when HG Blob is beating up Farnsworth and Hermes, the long shot has his front window intact, when it should be boarded up with a cardboard box.

Also, the beer in the Klein bottles is cool, but there's a line for the top level of the beer inside the pipe that leads down to the "outside" of the bottle (the opening is in the bottom), where it couldn't possibly hold any beer.  By the way, there's a website where you can actually buy handblown glass Klein bottles:  http://www.kleinbottle.com/

Edit: I, Sir Nose D'voidoffunk, shall never top of the page dance.

i dont know if someone said this yet...   how can they breathe or do anything at the places they go in space  without any masks?  it happens alot

[Reply #242 on:]

hey   do u think that fry even seeing the professor would make it so he would be stuck in a time loop--  heed have to do back int time eventualy and have a kid but, eventually after that kid has the kid and so on,  when the prof. sees fry  it will get caught up in time resulting in fry going back in time having a kid and so on....      RIGHT???

[Reply #243 on:]

He doesn't have a kid, Farnsworth is his nephew.  They thought of that, presumably.  Also, use the edit button instead of double posting. 

[Reply #244 on:]

Erm, lots of planets have atmospheres, so you don't need a mask.

[Reply #245 on:]

Yeah, and they're pretty good about putting bubble domes around stuff that's just floating in space, but I don't think there's one around, for example, the Hip Joint, but people stand out front of it with no spacesuits.

u know what??  i eel like a complete retard---  i deserve to be slapped   i forgot (while i was thinking and getting confused over it) that he was FROZEN  ***oops***   but i found something while i was watching the ep. where fry thinks his brother took his lucky clover  well when the professors computer looks up fry  it is on a mac-formatted program  notice the screen display if u can  ud think that theyd have a better program than that 1000 years into the future

[Reply #247 on:]

I'm not sure if anyone posted this yet, but on Mother's Day Mom had a picture of the professor and it was supposed to be 70 years ago. But he looked the same!! we even saw him look differint when he broke up with her!! COME ON PEOPLE!!!!!

[Reply #248 on:]

In the comic were there is the parody were bender is terminator, there is a short story after that were the proffessor built a time machine, that really didn't work. But in Clone of my own the proffesor said that the time machine that he made actually brought him back 15 years.

[Reply #249 on:]

He said the time machine "set him back 15 years". Meaning he wasted 15 years of his life building something that didn't work, instead of focusing on more promising projects.

do people even look at my message things?!?!?!?!?>8(  oh  how do i change my picture? i didnt want to double post    oh  i found an interesting goof---   in loves,laborers lost in space when fry and bender are in the souna togeather why is bender wearing a towel? hees a robot he has nothing to hide   

[Reply #252 on:]

My friend noticed something interesting, as a newbie to Futurama...  I don't know if anyone has mentioned this yet, but in Less than Hero, the Miracle Cream specifies "MAY CAUSE SUPERHEROS IN HUMANS."  However, Leela is not a human.  She's 100% Mutant, or so we are led to believe.  The writers outline the differences between humans and mutants very boldly in the series, including physical imminuties and special traits/priviledges to each race.  Eg-  the Mutants are immune to the toxic lake whereas the Humans are not.  Is this a plot hole, and should the tube have said "Humanoids?"

Actually, she's the least mutated mutant born. So I suspect the cream could still work on her.

[Reply #254 on:]

FJ: Its not really a problem. We are told only of mutant's immunity to the thing that creates them. The exagerated joke of Miracle Cream states that  will we not know how it works. Its like asking  "x+y=z?" we don't know enough about the ingredients of the cream nor traits all mutants would share to make that a plot hole. In essence, it makes fits together because it does not make sense.

The real question should be, if radiation makes mutants, how healthy would it be for non raadiating humans to be near them, kiss them, or prostrate their frustration through a farcile romance with them?

And another thing. The impredicability of mutantion through sewage suggests no standard set of changes could happen to any single organism (or many becoming single). So how could mutants have a predicable set of immunities, organs with understandable fucntions, etc, for effects of chemicals to be extrapolated correctly?

BAM!

There's nothing to explain, it's just a cute gag.

[Reply #257 on:]

I'm new, and I don't know if this has been posted yet, but in Put Your Head On My Shoulders, in Elzar's, Fry's burger disappears, then is back again, with no bite mark. Also his brown beer bottle is replaced with a green one, then is back again.

[Reply #258 on:]

Here is something I just noticed in I Second That Emotion: Bender is supposed to be a terrible cook (30% Iron Chef), yet in this episode he easily whips up a perfect, skillfully decorated birthday cake??

[Reply #259 on:]

However nice it looked, I bet it didn't taste nice. Also he may have used a cookbook or something, because he never usually does.

[Reply #260 on:]

The ingredients he used in this cake seemed fine to me, and Nibbler had no problem devouring it (although admittedly that doesn't prove much). Also, all the food Bender makes in 30%I.C. looks hideous. Maybe he later hit his head or something and forgot how to cook?

Clearly it must be the work of a dark wizard.   

[Reply #262 on:]

This has probably been noticed before, but in AWITM, when Fry and Zapp are sentenced to death by snu-snu, the first of the Amazonians to go in were the blue mohawk haired woman and the black Amazonian with the dreadlocks. Yet when Zapp and Fry emerge from the chamber later in the ep. they are about to be snu-snued by the same two Amazonians. I thought Kif was to be the only one snu-snued twice.

In fishful of dollars at the end bender tasted the pizza with anchovies and he spat it all out in disgust. But then in later episodes bender cannot taste

[Reply #264 on:]

he was just trying to be popular...

[Reply #265 on:]

The horrible taste caused his circuits to malfunction? Or maybe it didn't compute since the anchovy is extinct?

[Reply #266 on:]

I'm with gus, note how Bender glance sideways to see how Leela and Amy react to the pizza. A few splitseconds after they react, Bender does too. There's a small, but noticable delay in Bender's reaction.

[Reply #267 on:]

Unless Fry has an extra red jacket, white shirt, and blue pants, I noticed something odd in The Farnsworth Parabox... not a big goof.

After Fry and Bender climb back out of the Superheated Steam pipe (clearly labeled with 'Do Not Crawl', hyuk hyuk!) Fry's clothes shrank a LOT. Why is it that when he's the first to jump out of the box into Universe 1, his clothes are back to normal?

Lemme guess... the wardrobe wizard! Duh nuh nuh!

[Reply #268 on:]

A whole day goes by between Fry's clothes shrinking, anyone climbing into or out of the box...maybe he bought a new pair / unshrunk his old ones in that time?

I have a question here, not sure if it is a goof, but....,

If one drop of anchovy oil is a permanent lubricant, and bender was in contact with the oil (the pizza was in his mouth), does he now not need Mom's Robot oil?

[Reply #270 on:]

Maybe he spat it all out?

[Reply #271 on:]

Well, it was only in his mouth, maybe it's just his mouth that's well-oiled.

Is it even a permanant oil?  I thought it was just that it was as effective an oil as Mom's, but cheaper to produce and market.

[Reply #272 on:]

It was supposed to be permanent, but you know, we never see Bender using oil after that....

[Reply #273 on:]

Zoidberg has light blue eyes. Yet in Bendless love he has pure white eyes in at least two scenes.
He also has white eyes just before Bender says 'Yeah big whoop, noone cares.'

[Reply #274 on:]

In 300 Big Boys, Kif sheds his skin but is wearing underwear beneath...

[Reply #275 on:]

We never see Bender use oil, ever. At least not that I know of. If you have a framegrab of him doing it, show me.

"I'm from Jamaica, the show-me island, and I want you to show me you're blowing it out your fanny!"

Heheh, can't help quoting.

As you can see, in ISTE, when they are walking it says dry cleaners (bottom one, I messed up) yet when they stop a shot later it says cleaners.(top)

[Reply #277 on:]

i'm not sure, but if i remember correctly, there more than one dry cleaners in the sewer, in fact, many buildings were dry cleaning stores so it is plausible they have different signs

No, Goldfish is right, look at the position of all the characters, everyone is in the same place.  It's just a different camera angle.  Good catch goldfish.

[Reply #279 on:]

Something I noticed when watching 'Mothers Day', I'm not sure if it's already been pointed out. In the scenes of Mom and Professor Farnsworth in their pasts. Mom throws a picture of him at the wall, after he walked out on her, and since then she hasn't seen him for about 70 years. Yet the photo was of Professor Farnsworth as an old man, without hair. But if she hasn't seen him for all that time, how can this be?
