Why can bender like reach I'd say bout 50m in 'LESS THAN A HERO' to get a beer yet he cant touch his toes?

Good point! I never saw that one.

[Reply #561 on:]

I don't know if this has been mentioned in the thread already, but I just noticed that in A FISHFULL OF DOLLARS, in the 20th century hotel Fry is staying in, he is looking through a box of tapes to watch. Yet, in WHEN ALIENS ATTACK, Professor Farnsworth clearly states that every tape had been destroyed during the second coming of Jesus.

Ah, you're right.

Most video tapes were damaged in 2047 during the second coming of Jesus.

i think its great that the internet is still used for porn in the year 3000 but i dont want the french fries!

Say what?

[Reply #566 on:]

What are you talking about KPAT?

[Reply #567 on:]

im not sure he even knows..

anyway i got a new goof. in 'the deep south' hermes is eating a man wich. but how did they make the man wich if cows are extinct?

[Reply #568 on:]

In "Bendin' In The Wind" when Bender falls at the "Worf" and is then hit by Beck's bus, when that singing robot walks back to the bus after they steal Bender's check, his mouth flashes briefly as if he's talking, but there is no sound.

Also, for the goof listed in the post above this, when did they mention it was made from a cow?

They're made out of man, obviously.

[Reply #570 on:]

Maybe it was censored, or they never got around to inserting an interjection. You'll also notice that in 'I, Roommate', when Hermes says 'We'll bill you for the couch', his mouth doesn't move.

And as for the manwich... They don't call it a hamburger, aka, made out of ham. They call it a manwich, made out of...

[Reply #571 on:]

Sorry for the double post, but I was watching 'I Second That Emotion' today, and I noticed another goof.
When the crew comes back from a delivery, they usually enter the lounge through that door by the couch. But in ISTE, that door leads to the bathroom!
Is this true or am I just messing up the perspectives?

[Reply #572 on:]

Manwich is a present day product

[Reply #573 on:]

Fry&Leleea are a pair of goofballs for sure.
Fry: gee thanks Amy
Leela:Yeah Amy takes one to know one
Amy    you're so mean

If you buy a can of Manwich, you'll notice that the only ingredient not included is the meat.  You have to add that yourself.  Traditionally, ground beef is used, but you could use ground turkey, or lamb, or whatever you want.  In the future, they probably use buggalo.

Hamburger isn't made out of ham.

[Reply #576 on:]

So I suppose a manwhich isn't made out of...

[Reply #577 on:]

Well here's another one from "Bendin' In The Wind". When everyone arrives in San Francisco, they go under a "Welcome to San Francisco" sign that appears to be at the start of the Golden Gate bridge. This means Fry drove his van over the bridge when they first arrived. Later in the episode, we discover it's a hover bridge, and Fry's van goes falling into the water.

EDIT: My head hurts 

[Reply #578 on:]

Good one!

[Reply #579 on:]

They're obviously two different bridges, the Golden Gate has a red tint to it, the bridge in the earlier picture has a cold steel look to it; they just happen to have similar style structures.  Besides, the golden gate bridge was moved to another location by Magneto in the XMen3 movie so that there could be a land route to Alcatraz.   

[Reply #580 on:]

San Francisco isn't an island (yet).

Will you burn if you say 'man'?

[Reply #582 on:]

--Yes

so quick thing: did anyone else notice that tinny tim's hurt foot changes throughout the series?

[Reply #583 on:]

I just watched "Insane In The Mainframe". When Malfunctioning Eddie leaves his cell when he is 'cured', you can clearly see his feet are small conveyor belts, but when he walks (or I should perhaps say slides), the lines on them don't move.

[Reply #584 on:]

@ thefryman- yea, they mention it in the audio commentaries as well.

@ Ivan_fry- also in a tale of 2 santas, when leela and fry and running along the conveyor belt, it doesnt move either.

Zoidberg had teeth in the first few episodes

[Reply #586 on:]

oh ya and the thing when you pick your gender in the registration that says dunno is that a joke or for mental people

[Reply #587 on:]

thats a joke. and i never noticed zoidberg had teeth, good catch, i guess

[Reply #588 on:]

I thought I would bring this up
           
On disc 1 of the 3rd season, there is a special feature of the X-Mas message delivered by David Cohen. the episode was too inapropriate to air at 7:30, but in the message it shows Cohen pouring an alcohaulic beverage then driving away in a car.
so its alright to drink and drive?

I just thought I would put it in the goof thread.

We had a long tradition (running gag) of gender confusion about certain posters before those gender symbols got added, so it's sort of a continuation of that.

Also, it's useful in that it gives us a default setting other than male or female.

It is if you're a Massachusetts senator.

[Reply #590 on:]

I am sure this one has been mentioned before.
Remember back in Space Pilot 3000, when fry set the timer for 1000 years?
He fell in at exactly midnight on new years eve, so shouldn't he have woken up in the year 3000, at exactly 12:00 , instead of 2999?

[Reply #591 on:]

Probably, but in the Cryonic Woman it's obvious the people there can freeze and thaw out folks easily when ever they want. Maybe the staff thought it was close enough, or his tube was wasting space/power, or they got tired of looking at him. OR they realized he didn't pay for the service.

Yup.  Here you go.

[Reply #593 on:]

It's an understandable question to contend with.  Obviously the cryogenic team thawed him out before the time actually went up.... but then again david A seems to be on the ball!

well no since he wasn't thawed at midnight. when he is thawed it is already day.

[Reply #595 on:]

I don't know if this has been mentioned but did anyone notice that in a tasteof Freedom the american flagis moving in the wind but nothing else is not even the banner that is over top of the area where this dude is siging,I forgot what the banner said though.

[Reply #596 on:]

In, "The Why of Fry", if math equations are countable as facts, then the brains should never be done collecting facts, 1+1, 1+2... 1+99999999999999, and we haven't even gotten to 2+1, 2+2... 2+9999999999 yet 

So... there should be no need to fear the end of the universe~

[Reply #597 on:]

miss_bender:  in the future, some flags have auto-wave technology for that true-patriotism feel.  I mean, Kif can't be everywhere at once just waving flags behind people.

Flowah:  As I said once before to this argument, if you start with a few base cases (1+2), (6+9), etc... you can extrapolate the rest of the answers via a process called mathmatical induction.  This is most likely what the brains were doing.

Now I hate those damn things even more.  Freaking Discrete Math.

[Reply #599 on:]

In "Why Must I be a Crustacean in Love" it's revealed that Decapodians die after breeding, but in "A Taste of Freedom" Zoidberg has flashbacks of his mother constantly giving him guilt trips, but shouldn't she be dead when he was growing up?
