Stupidity

[#40 :]

but remember that Fry is an "outsider". He looks the world in another perspective and has some new (old) ideas. a good example is that time when he suggested that garbage is garbage and Poopenmeyer said that garbage isn't a thing that you can find just lying around. and of course the TV has a big influence too.
but as we all know, the writers of futurama decide who shall come up with the idea of saving the Earth. Usually an "outsider" (like Fry), or one of the main characters.

Speaking of stupidity... I don't think Zoidberg is stupid. He rules =) But recently I really began to HATE Homer Simpson. He seems dumber and dumber each season, and it's not that funny anymore.

Fry is allowed to be stupid =)

And yes, usually Fry always saves Earth.
Remember the "Single Female Lawyer"?
Well, maybe with little help from his friends.

I go with that theory, new Homer is way dumber than old Homer.

 

Troy McClure said the following in the 138th Ep. Spectacuar.

Professor Lawrence Pierce of the University of Chicago writes, "I think Homer gets stupider every year."  That's not
a question, Professor, but we'll let the viewers judge for themselves.

It's like Mr. Pierce freakin' jinxed the whole show.  I should go talk to him, if he really is in my college.

I'm just another person who thinks that Homer is a complete dumb nowadays and Fry is not stupid.

[#44 :]

me too,

Fry rules....

[#45 :]

Well, the voice of Iván Muelas makes he looks like more smart. That's a point

[#46 :]

hmmm.. no. It's the translation, not the voice. In the new translations (3rd season) he seems more smart. In old translations (1st and 2nd season) he seems more stupid than in English.

Yeah but you can't blame Homer (the years of drinking, the crayon in his brain all these factors add up; not to mention the beatings his head has taken), but Homer isn't just a loser, he does lots of cool things too.  He has had an eclectic view of careers and done almost everything.  He's been an Astronaut, a train conductor, a chiropractor and a myriad of other things.  He's even saved Springfield from a nucluar meltdown (remember when his big butt got shoved into that Nuclear thingy when he was working at home and got really fat?).  He's also a very sentimental person and loves his family a lot.  I think Homer has a right to be stupid, and I think its funny sometimes too.

Hey, there is a differemce between Fry's stupidity and Homer's. While I do agree with Winna. Homer hasn't been to work in years and the kids don't go to school much anymore. The plots are winding down and Homer's intelligence seems to reflect that. Fry's stupidity is a result of naviety. The show is young and full of ideas, plus I like Fry.

[#49 :]

I like Fry too, he's the kind of guy you could go and and get rat-arsed (Drunk in scottish) with and have a laugh.

I like Leela too, but for other reasons 

[#50 :]

I always wanted to know that Astrozombie

[#51 :]

i was surprised to found a stupidy act by Leela in "Tales of a two Santas" when she:

Takes the warhead that they were running from and then she stop and say: "wait!, this is what we are running from!!", and launch it back to the elevator

and , by the way... I`m not saying that Leela is stupid!, i`m only saying that she did a "strange" action in 3ACV03 hehehe 

[#52 :]

Fry's brain took a spark after the shock of being in 3002. And Homer's just Homer, and he's really really stupid, and sometimes unbearable. Like from "Make Room for Lisa"...
Lisa: Rrgh! I just want to study.
Homer: That's no fun.
Lisa: It is to me.
Homer: No it's not. 

Now that's unthoughtfulness, thankfully for only a couple episodes. But this thread is about stupidity. ..............  gotta go! [runs off into the wilderness and transforms into a man in a loincloth!]

[#53 :]

Fry's not thick, he's just very immature and lazy thats all, it's not that he isn't smart he just can't be bothered, it seems he only put's some effort into it when it has something to do with Leela

oh yeah, i voted for Homer

yeah i found that odd myself. Normally shes the only one with a shred of commom sense and for her to lose it, even momentarily was weird.

I just hope Fry doesn't do a Homer and go all dumb in later seasons.
