Did Slurms McKenzie die in vain?

Why did Slurms McKenzie have to die?

Couldn't he have just left his stereo in the tunnel and escaped like everyone else did? I can't imagine that his gyrations contributed to how quickly the roof collapsed.

Thanks,

Kinda like this thread.

He had no reason to live, and was willing to sacrafice himself and die partying. Also, I think he might have stayed to hold off the Slurm Queen just incase the stereo didn't cause it to collapse.

Really, like Fry said, "She squash you like a worm...squashing a smaller worm."  Slurm's was so small compared to the Queen that he wouldn't have slowed her at all.  He just wanted to die.  He was 'partied out'.

I think he also thought he could help by staying. 

Those who don't think his gyrations could have contributed to the tunnel's collapse don't know how sensitive unstable structures can be.  The radio might have done it alone...but the radio and the dancing made it a much surer thing.

He does'nt die because he appears in some of the futurama comics

He just wanted to die as he was so tired of partying all his life he wanted to take his revenge by stopping the Slurm Queen anyway he could, be it dancing to a beat lol

I, myself saw Slurms McKenzie in the comics.  My guess is, he probably secretly escaped.  On the show, he wanted to die because the only purpose of his life was partying which he was sick of. 

So maybe since he's been seen in the comics, maybe he's living a secret life somewhere.

How do you wnat to know that the Slurms McKenzie from the comics is the same as the one from the TV episode.

Eh? 

[Reply #10 on:]

It's impossible to die in vein if you die partying!

[Reply #11 on:]

In the show canon, he's buried and assumed dead.  The comics represent an "alternate canon" in which he survived the rockfall. 

The title of this thread clearly poses the question in terms of the show canon.  The fact that he lives in the comics does not change the fact that he's dead as far as the show is concerned, at present anyway.

He didn't die in vain, they threw a party in his memeory.

[Reply #15 on:]

Slurms McKenzie died needlessly, but it was his wish. Therefore, he was a sacrificial slug, and his death assumes a mythological importance.

He was the official party worm-he didn't die in vain.

[Reply #17 on:]

He wanted to die he thought there was no more reason to live. Or Maybe he was just to tired and didn't think to leave the stereo on and then leave.

[Reply #18 on:]

this is slightly different, but you know how leela kicked that other worms head of ("You wish you slimy worm! HIIIYAA!" ) he became 2 worms, so wouldn't have slurms mcKenzie become a billion worms?

[Reply #19 on:]

A worm cut in half can become two worms.  A worm crushed beneath a sneaker and the sidewalk just becomes worm guacamole.

He died the way i want to die someday, it wasnt in vain. he died so others could party.

[Reply #21 on:]

I've often wondered the same thing.He could've just left the stereo but I guess he wanted to die.

[Reply #22 on:]

like all of you say he just gave up on life

I just googled Slurms McKenzie to see if I spelled his name right and this thread came up

hobbitboy your name is John?

No he didn't die in vain he wanted to die he said so himself.

[Reply #27 on:]

   hobbitboy your name is John?

So I'm told, though I don't recall having ever actually seen my birth certificate so I suppose I can't claim to be 100% certain.

He could have been a good character in future episodes.

[Reply #29 on:]

why did the planet expree crew prarty for slurms mcensey!!!!!! He hated to party, he said so himself!!!!! but i agree with no9man v2 he would have been a funny charictor.

[Reply #30 on:]

First of all it was Planet Express, and secondly they partied for him on the basis that it honored his memory if not the character itself.

He doesn't die because he appears in some of the futurama comics

But then in the comics lots of things happen that didn't really happen.

I, myself saw Slurms McKenzie in the comics.  My guess is, he probably secretly escaped.  On the show, he wanted to die because the only purpose of his life was partying which he was sick of. 

So maybe since he's been seen in the comics, maybe he's living a secret life somewhere. 

You saw him ge tcrushed by a rock     

[Reply #32 on:]

He saved the PE crew (and the party)

[Reply #33 on:]

Yeah but the question was why did he stay behind he could have gone with them

[Reply #34 on:]

he probably hated the slurm queen and his bosses for making him party all the time or he diddnt want to party anymore so he killed himself to save the planex crew

[Reply #35 on:]

He died doing what he loved!!!!

[Reply #36 on:]

Doesnt he appears again apart from the comics?

He's like Duffman. He will never die... only the actors who play him!

[Reply #38 on:]

Slurms had no will to live, the party within him died long ago. So with his breathe he shook it for that fat bitch of a queen to see. It was his way of giving her the middle finger.

[Reply #39 on:]

No, he wanted to die.  Off the topic Nixon is awesome.  Aroooooooooo, at ease Brannigan
