They put that in as another thing to look back on and say 'Oh yes, they were sewer mutants back in S2!'

That would be a hard one to explain.

This may be getting too picky. But in WMIBACIL, Zoidbverg says that the word "love" is unheard of on his home planet. But later in the same episode Edna says that she is in love with Fry. If "love" is unheard of there, how could she know she was in love with Fry?

Of course she may have returned to the planet from another planet where love is known, so she knows about it but hasn't felt it, or that the feeling of love is unheard of but the word is known.

[Reply #43 on:]

Picky explanation: it's not love she feels, it's lust. She only want Fry for his male jelly (afterall she'll die after mating) and just think that's what love is all about. She probably watched it in a "movie" or read about it in a "magazine".

If Bender wanted to kill himself in the first episode, why didn't he just use his selfdestruction-button?

[Reply #45 on:]

Maybe it was an later upgrade. Besides, Bender wanted to kill himself, because he had realised, that the girders he had bend were intended for the construction of suicide booths. Therefore, it was only appropriate to use one. BAM 

[Reply #46 on:]

Maybe it wasn't slow and painful enough.

[Reply #47 on:]

Yeah, and in "Where no fan as gone before" we can clearly see how "well" his selfdestruction-sequence actually works. 

[Reply #48 on:]

wich one is above? The sewers or New New York?

Luck of the Fryish (New New York)

I second that emotion (sewers)

[Reply #49 on:]

My explanation is that the entrance to the ruins of Old New York are further downtown, while the one near the PE building goes straight to the sewers.

[Reply #50 on:]

They (the sewers) are where ever they should be.

[Reply #51 on:]

Order of New New York's sub layers:

New New York City
New New York's Sewers
New York
New York's Sewers

New New York's sewer system is very small/thin and so they climb past that into New York's Ruins.

2 of the so called goofs can be explained with 2 of the deleted scenes on the season2 DVDs:

1) Who sent fry the xmas card?
It was professor farnsworth, in the outtake he mumbles about being friendly to him due to his need for organs.
2) Where was Fry going at midnight in the honking?
Fry says in the deleted scene just b4 leela says she's gonna make her dinner for the next month "It's late... I suppose I'll go listen to that old homeless guy at the port authority, he makes some good points"

Thus solving these 2 mysteries, the card was from farnsworth and fry was gonna go listen to a homeless guy ramble on.

In "anthology of interest II" bender is protrayed as a blonde, caucasoid male, when in fact his last name is "Rodruigez" and he was born in Tijuana (clearly mexican)

[Reply #54 on:]

Also, in season 1 episode 7 "My Three Suns" we see Bender lower his antenna before going into a car wash. . and afterwards, when the robotic arms put the air freshener around his neck, we see his antenna raise itself up without any help. 

[Reply #55 on:]

I guess he can do that. He takes it in and out in "I second that Emotion".

[Reply #56 on:]

Okay, so Calculon was once David Duchovny (The Honking). Then how, pray tell, can the head of David Duchovny reside at the Head Museum?

[Reply #57 on:]

Perhaps he was DD after he became a head in a jar? He could've been a replacement? He could've killed DD!

[Reply #58 on:]

That was the head of the evil David Duchovny clone who enslaved manking in 2357.

[Reply #59 on:]

i'm sure this has been said before somewhere else, but it hasn't in this thread...why, after new york being twice destroyed by aliens, didn't the building that fry was in get destroyed aswell? i mean, that would result in no series at all, but still :P

[Reply #60 on:]

One word: Wizard!

[Reply #61 on:]

One word: Nibbler...

Show spoiler

He protected the building from alien destruction and the resulting power outages, although the cryogenics building may have had a backup generator? so that Fry could come to the year 3000 using his superior yet inferior mind to save humanity from stupidity.

Well that's my theory anyway, which I imagine may be explained in The Why of Fry.

[Reply #62 on:]

In "jurassic bark" bender lifts his head off to show the audiance while performing his magic act, and in many other episodes he has to unscrew it to take it off.

[Reply #63 on:]

In "Space pilot 3000", Leela is saying that Hubert is frys grandgrandgrand nephue (I don't know how to spell it). She is saying grand like 100 times, but that's impossible! That means that Fry's other nephues where less than 10 years old!

[Reply #64 on:]

TomDak123, Bender's body is a mystery. He can fit anything in it, has had mechanical parts in one episode that are never seen in another and so on, so this'll follow the usual Bender incosistancies.

She says 'great' 30 times.

[Reply #65 on:]

ok. So they couldn't have been so old......

[Reply #66 on:]

That means that each one is about 33 when they give birth to their next child (not when they die!).

[Reply #67 on:]

*Thinks*

Oh, crap......

[Reply #68 on:]

Okay... here's one...

   Concerning the latest episode... A TASTE OF FREEDOM...  why is Fry just finding out about "Freedom Day" now... we (or at least I) don't know if FUTURAMA goes by real time, but we know for a FACT that Fry has spent at least a full year in the future as there have been TWO X-MAS's... wouldn't Freedom day have shown up before, between the two X-Mas's???

[Reply #69 on:]

I thought of that meself..... maybe it's every fourth year or something..........

[Reply #70 on:]

Possible, like a leap yearor something.

Or more likely Fry is just stupid, or was boycotting this particular holiday. Don't forget he doesn't know where Earth is...

Bender: He's a super-advanced robot. He probably has a zillion functions hidden away neatly in his body, including various ways to take off his head. Come on, it's the future.
Think of him like a giant walking, alcohol fueled swiss army knife.

[Reply #71 on:]

Hmm another thing I noticed in X-Mas story (first time I watched it!!!) is that, when Bender saw Tiny Tim asking for booze and he got nothing, Bender looked sad, but then he laughed about tiny tim.

Now I saw on the DVD, that this was a cut scene, too. Bender isn't laughing in the full version. There he really feelt sorry. That's a big goof if you ask me.

PS.: ...If you don't know the cut out scene.

[Reply #72 on:]

He's not laughing like This:  He's laughing more sad-evillaugh. Or Feel-sorry-evillaugh. It's some kinda mix.

[Reply #73 on:]

Hmmm.... I don't know. But it's very very strange, if you don't know the cut out part.

[Reply #74 on:]

here is a goof about the leaning tower of Piza,
in 'When Aliens Attack' the leaning tower of Piza is in New New York, on Monument Beach. But in 'The Cryonic Woman'when Fry and Bender are driving the ship they hit the leaning tower of Piza in Italy. Plus in 'When Aliens Attack' the tower was destroyed.

Anyone care to explain?

Did it go something like this?

Bender: That poor kid!  Heh heh heh!

If so, then you had never seen the American version, aka the real version.  It wasn't cut over here - that was a pure C452 or whatever channel you watch over there cut.

Homer and Bart: USA!  USA!  USA!

[Reply #76 on:]

I also know the original version...

[Reply #77 on:]

I think the joke originally was supposed to go like this (with the cut part in Italic):

Show spoiler

Bender: "That poor kid. Hey, kid! I wanna share this with you." (takes out a bottle of booze)
Tinny Tim: "But Sir, that's a fine gentleman's booze, I couldn't ---"
Bender: "Please, it would make me feel special." (pours booze into Tinny Tim's bowl)
Tinny Tim: "Bless you, Sir."
Bender: "5 dollars please. Come on!!"
Tinny Tim: "But Sir, I have only nine pennies. I'd have to go out in the cold and beg for the rest."
Bender: "Should have thought of that before you stole my booze." (turns around and laughs at Tinny Tim)

Well, either the leaning tower on the beach is a replica of the real thing, or...the omicronians destroy the tower along with all the other monuments, the Italians rebuild it during the time between "When Aliens Attack" and "The Cyronic Women", which could also explain why the leaning tower still hasn't collapsed since 2000...

[Reply #79 on:]

meh. maybe.
