Who DON'T you want back?

[Reply #160 on:]

Dwight for me. Not only an absolutely unsubstantial character, he also wastes Cubert's potential. The son of Farnsworth can work at the series if his annoying and know-all facet is exploited, but when he pairs off with Dwight, the result is ugly and tasteless.

[Reply #161 on:]

Ironic really, cause there are only two episodes where he is an important character, namely "The Route of All Evil" and "Bender Should Not Be Allowed on Television", are both episodes I personally like, especially the latter.

Then again, I guess in the latter, Bender makes up for most of it, as the whole Dwight/Cubert/Tinny Tim story seems only to serve as a method of moving the plot along.

[Reply #162 on:]

Speaking of Cubert and Dwight. What's going to happen to them if the events at the end of ItWGY result in their guardian and parents (respectively) becoming fugitives, on the run from the law, in some unknown section of the universe?

[Reply #163 on:]

Cubert. I cannot stand him for more 2 mintues.

I'd like see to see the Slurms return though.

[Reply #164 on:]

Flexo, he is the only character I don't seem to understand. He is not funny at all oO. Or else I also wanna get rid of calculons brother or what it is. The beeping thing u know

[Reply #165 on:]

In response to Scruffy@jail: Boxy.

[Reply #166 on:]

Aw no, Boxy is one of my favourite characters.

Agreed about Flexo, though. I, too, don't find him funny in the least.

[Reply #167 on:]

Yeah, dont agree about gettin rid of Boxy, he is great, and his sense of comic/dramatic timing is brilliant!

[Reply #168 on:]

As Boxy would say, "Beep, beep, beep, beep beep!" timeless

[Reply #169 on:]

Haha, ah thats Boxy alright 

[Reply #170 on:]

Flexo was pretty good in 'The Lesser of Two Evils' but in 'Bendless Love' the joke surrounding him had become slightly old.

[Reply #171 on:]

also I never got the point of the hediniousm bot what is he some ruler or something

hedonism is (to squeeze it down into a sentence) a philosophical ideal that life should be lived for pleasure and indulgence, which is why he ran around talking about how everything was so wonderfully decadent.

To be honest, I don't like The Lesser of Two Evils that much either. The Bender-Flexo storyline got old the second time I watched it. And it's a shame, considering that most of the other gags are brilliant (the Cop Department thing, Past-o-rama, the "feast your eyes on this!" scene, Fry and the radiator...). But a handful of good jokes isn't enough to build a good episode, especially if the plot is thin.

[Reply #173 on:]

I do not really want to see the nudars again, or any one timers from the movies, oh as well as the head of the robot fighting league (the owner of the mets), I forgot his name but I dont care for that guy.

[Reply #174 on:]

I really didnt mind cubert or dwight, I cant really think of anyone who I actually hated in the show...

[Reply #175 on:]

there's actually a one timer from the movies that i wouldn't mind seeing back and he's the rambling british robot from the league of robots.

[Reply #176 on:]

^ My one decent amusement-causing new character from any of the movies. Pretty much the only worthy newly-introduced personage.




Also, what the hell, I loved Lesser of Two Evils. But then I loved pretty much almost every single original episode.

I don't really nitpick when it comes to the episodes.            Part of that is no doubt due to having watched them as a Finished Product already, long after the series was already over.

[Reply #177 on:]

Anyone who said Zoidberg should leave immedietly. 


I cannot believe nobody has said Mom yet.  Easily the least funny character driven by stupid insults which only make me upset.

DOWN WITH THAT BITCH MOM.

[Reply #178 on:]

Keep the hatetred for cubert coming.  


I dont think i can stand another episode with that annoying little runt.


And Zoidberg is a  classac character,I dont see why anyone wouldn't want him back.

[Reply #179 on:]

Damn, I actually like Cubert and Dwight. Their episodes offered nice, down-to-Earth stories in S3 and S4. Plus it gave Hermes, The Professor, and Labarbara extended roles.

I actually liked the nudists as villains.

I don't want to see the Brain Spawn again. Not because they're bad but because I don't want them to become like the Daleks. They've served their purpose so I'm happy with the way their story finished.

Damn, I can't think of any other character I don't like (minus TBWABB but that is a closed story so I don't need to worry about). I think with the proper writing nearly any character can be entertaining.

[Reply #180 on:]

I was thinking about Gunter the other day but I can't decide if I care enough to not want to see him come back or not.

[Reply #181 on:]

There's one, Gunter was plain annoying.

[Reply #182 on:]

Yeah defo add Gunter too the list. I liked Nudar. More Pazuzu anyone?

[Reply #183 on:]

I really don't like Cubert. He's an annoying little fucker. I can understand why he exists, and his existance would make for interesting plot twists, but he is just so freaking obnoxious that he ruins parts of episodes for me.

[Reply #184 on:]

4th Guenther. I don't think more than a single one of his lines made me laugh.

I still don't understand why people find Cubert annoying. He only seemed annoying to me in 210, and in that episode the point was that Cubert is an annoying smartass. Subsequent appearances dropped that part of him in favor of pairing him with Dwight (which I like).

What about the cops?  Are they really funny at all? Nope.   Or are they?!  Nope

Oh be quiet about gunter. His last apperance(and 2nd) was in The Sting

[Reply #188 on:]

I thought the line about how they hug too much was hysterical.

Oh come on, as far as unfunny cops go, Smitty and URL aren't bad.

Who then should be the pair of cops on Futurama? Mom and Nixon's head? Randy and the store clerk guy*?

Have Mom and Nixon ever been on screen together?  Seems like a slam dunk comedy-wise. 

Also, a grand slam for evil.

[Reply #192 on:]

The cops were sort of modeled on the ones from Sanford and Son, anyway.

Randy would probably make a pretty awesome cop, though.

[Reply #193 on:]

I don't think so. The main joke of the Sanford and Son cops is that Smitty (Sanford) constantly corrects Hoppy when he tries to speak jive. Occasionaly, the joke is that Hoppy uses needlessly proper language, which confuses Fred, which causes Smitty to put what Hoppy said in Layman's terms. I don't see any of that in Smitty (Futurama) and URL's character.

Closest resemblance I see is the use of the name Smitty (and it's used on the "wrong" character, i.e. Sanford Smitty is Black, Futurama Smitty is White).

[Reply #194 on:]

Randy would probably make a pretty awesome cop, though.

Probably not so much with pink fluffy handcuffs.

I guess so I just don't find any of the cop humor that great, especially the randomness of Colleen being a cop in BWABB.  I agree, they should make Randy a cop!
I would take more Cubert and Dwight.  And I know, I know they are not a giant part of the show, they just make me cringe, and not in the good way that Cubert is suppose to.

That was really my only character beef, I love mom, and am tolerant of Guenther.

[Reply #198 on:]

I have no problem with seeing more stories involving Cubert and/or Dwight.

[Reply #199 on:]

Zoidberg.
