Hyper Chicken is funny.

Yeah, apparently Matt Groening isn't particularly fond of the character. But I love him be-CAUSE of all the cliche kluck jokes

Hmmm...unless you guys are suggesting we all start shipping Judge Whitey and the Hyperchicken (a hot pairing, if I do say so myself!), it's possible that this thread has gotten a wee bit off-topic.

Back on the subject of Futurama-related pick-up lines: I have it on good authority that asking a girl if she wants to engage in some "'just friends' spooning" is an effective method of getting her in bed. (To spoon, that is; I don't know if such a line would actually get you laid. But still!)

Sure it will...sooner or later, the girl will fall asleep.

Only as bad as "shipping" Whitey and Hyper Chicken 
(at the risk of geezing-out, I wasn't 1000% sure what "shipping" even meant until now  )

Also, it may not necessarily result in actual spooning either.

1000% ?! lol

When in doubt of internet terms, Urban Dictionary is your friend:

1. shipping

A term used to describe fan fictions that take previously created characters and put them as a pair. It usually refers to romantic relationships, but it can refer platonic ones as well. (Just think of "shipping" as short for "relationSHIP".)

It generally uses the initials of the characters shipped or a combination of the names, though this is not a rule.

So anyways, I saw about 10 odd minutes of 'Put your head on my shoulder' that was showing on tv last night


Fry: Valentine's Day's coming? Oh, crap! I forgot to get a girlfriend again. Well, since neither of us has a date, why don't we...?

Leela: You just assume I can't get a Valentine's date?

Fry: Shall we say eight o'clock?

[Enter Amy.]

Amy: Hey, I'm taking my new car out for a spin to Mercury. Anybody wanna come?

Fry: Yeah, OK. What's the weather like?

Amy: The usual: Boiling lead, oceans of lava.

Fry: So, what? Shorts?



I was heavily reminded why I never liked the Fry/Amy pairing and how clear the show clearly shows why it doesn't work. What they had was never serious - and Fry never wanted it to be (and with how Amy goes so quickly to the next date shows how easily to forget him (despite his head being on her shoulder). Yet the episode actually finishes with a Fry/Leela moment



Well actually it finishes with Benders ass exploding, but whatevs.

One word: Thundercougarfalconbird.

[Reply #253 on:]

if there's nothing i can do to make the show keep it real, even though he broke up with her, i think the Fry/Amy pairing was less stupid than the Fry/Leela crud. the relationship between Fry & Leela is setting a bad example for romance. Amy isn't as much of a bitch slut psycho babe as Leela

[Reply #254 on:]

And again I add: "Excuse me, did you say '10:15 to Nutley?'"

[Reply #255 on:]

One day I might make a post with a picture of every hug and kiss on the show.

One day.

[Reply #256 on:]

I wouldn't even commit to that... good luck with that.

Well I'm afraid they sailed and then sunk your ship in this one episode. How is it less stupid? And don't disagree that Leela can be a bitch sometimes, but I don't see her as a slut. Desperate perhaps, but Amy is designed to be one. Even Amy doesn't care about being called a whore (although from which nationality she's picky about).

i know. Futurama tells a million lies just for fame

How is it less stupid?

Amy is kinder. Leela is nothing but trouble. i know what she's all about. i really hope Fry figures it out 'cause i want his love. her purple hair & 1 eye makes you want to die

And don't disagree that Leela can be a bitch sometimes, but I don't see her as a slut.

she's not really a slut but i can call her that

A kiss that is never tasted...

...is forever and ever wasted. ~Billie Holiday

[Reply #259 on:]

For anyone confused about the Fry-Leela-Amy relationship:

The love of Fry's life is Leela. They finally got together when the show's future was in question. Why the hell not, right? Since the show came back, having them as a couple would just be boring(if there's no dance, there's no romance), hence the one ep which irked me a little when I first saw it: In-A-Gadda-Da-Leela.

But Amy and Fry getting together in the first run served a very specific purpose(IMHO of course) which you can plainly see in Leela's face and body language here:

And that's all I have to say about that. ~Forrest Gump

Why the hell not, right?

i can think of some reasons

OK, I'll bite.  Why would Fry liking boys more than girls be realistic?

He has always been shown to like women except for a radiator.

i guess you haven't read my posts about the Futurama conspiracy: the fact is, Fry loves me. i know its true. he doesn't like any of the girls he's shown with

[Reply #267 on:]

And yet you want him to be with Amy? There's some things that aren't adding up here. Oh, and you might want to clear the lines between your headcanon and what's canon... also reality.

If he already loves you, why do you need to make him?

You do know that it is impossible to "make" anyone love you whether they are real of imaginary.

do dee do do, do dee do do

[Reply #271 on:]

^ that's true but in this case, i can make him like me. he loves me & i love him so for sure i can make it happen. there's more to life than what some science books say. if Futurama is gonna be a dickweed & not let me have him, they'll pay the price but i'm saying Amy is better for him than Leela

If he already loves you, why do you need to make him?

i meant making a story about me meeting him

There's nothing argue. He's a fictional character with no feelings or emotions. What you "believe" changes nothing.
