Favorite Head In Jar

[:]

So, what's your favorite head in jar on Futurama?

I'm aware that some dislike guest stars in general, but Futurama's had some pretty good heads in jars.

I really liked Beck. And of course Nixon.   

[#1 :]

It has to be Nixon 

[#2 :]

Wade Boggs. Goes down smooth. 

[#3 :]

Nixon has to be my favorite, but since he's the obvious choice, I'll also go with Pamela Anderson. ("So he doesn't know I won the Oscar?" )

[#4 :]

nixon is down right hilarious. but the best appearance is that of ron popeil, thats just classy. "and one more thing folks, if my machine isnt the best item that uve ever botten for your kitchen, i dont want you to keep the machine. please return it to us, and do get your money back."-that was actually the end of my senior quote

[#5 :]

"Welcome to the head museum...I'm Leonard Nimoy."

[#6 :]

Hank Aaron.   

[#7 :]

George Foreman   

[#8 :]

Conan O'Brien all the way

[#9 :]

Since there weren't either the heads-in-jars of Alice Schwarzer, Willy Brandt or ... whoever else ... I'm not really sure who to choose.

Maybe Gerald Ford?

Clinton: Hey, sugar cookie! You know, legally, nothing I can do counts as sex anymore.
Ford: I apologize for his rudeness, ma'am. He gets this way around meaty-looking women.

Ford: Frankly, I've never felt voting to be all that essential to the process.
Nixon: No kidding, Ford.

Nixon: That's it! You're all going to jail, and don't expect me to grant a pardon, like that sissy Ford.

Past-O-Rama: It all started with Gerald Ford's famous invention, the automocar, which was powered by a tank of burning fossils. Here we see a 20th century assembly line where cars were constructed by primative robots.

[#10 :]

I don't know who said it, but: LaRouche won't stop with the knock knock jokes! Maybe it was Bob Dole

[#11 :]

I always wished that he'd given his seal of approval for that jar he was housed in.

 "It's so great, I put mah name on it!"

[#12 :]

Nixon's back!! Ahroooo...

Also Leonard Nimoy, Leonardo Dicaprio (solely because of what they did with the jar  same deal with Hanson) and Checkers.

[#13 :]

You're right, that was Bob Dole, from the closet of presidential losers.

"Bob Dole needs company.  LaRouche won't stop with the knock-knock jokes"

Hmm, I think everyone can agree that Nixon's head rocked.  Claudia Schiffer's(sp?) head was actually pretty funny.

"Didn't you used to have a body of some sort?"
"Yeah, but it was holding me back."

Although it would've been funny to one day see G.W.Bush's head in a jar.  Heh, picture that set up in the hall of presidents   

[#14 :]

I was kinda disappointed when I found out that it wasn't really him doing the voice.

[#15 :]

Found out?  Even David Cohen made comments on how he loved that it sounded nothing like him, and yet suited the head so well.

He didn't look bad in the Tutu.

[#16 :]

Lew Morton made those comments, not DXC.

 "It's a weird inaccurate George Foreman impression that I really enjoy." 

[#17 :]

Lucy Lu - but Nixon and Nimoy are way up the list too...

[#18 :]

Al Gore.   I like how they keep attributing things that he is the father of or created.  And it's really Al's voice.  He is a good sport for being such a dork.

[#19 :]

Al Gore, this man should be in the White House.
And he is really great in Futurama too. And his daughter is on the staff, isn't she? Yes she is...
Wonder what he would have done with the US if he had been president (Originally I was with Bush in the election, but that was solely because Al Gore cheated in Celebrity Deathmatch).

[#20 :]

Conan O'Brian was so funny!  Especially after his scene (in the episode where they are skiing, forget the name) was over and they were still talking about him. 

[#21 :]

"Oh, Chester A. Arthur fall down."

Also Dennis Rodman, although he probably doesn't count.

And yes, I know this also probably doesn't count, but I love the design of DXC's head in a jar.

[#22 :]

Jonathan Frakes?

On a side note, why is Al Gores head not in the 'presidential losers closet'?

[#23 :]

Real answer: The episode was made before the 2000 election, and Al Gore hadn't lost yet at the time.

Flippant answer: Al Gore's head was off somewhere recounting votes, because he still won't admit that he lost.

[#24 :]

Maybe in the future he does become President. In fact, I'm not sure, but I think in (maybe AHITP?) that they mention he's done something well.

[#25 :]

I liked Jar Jar Binks in a jar

[#26 :]

Chester A. Aurthur all the way!!!!

[#27 :]

I would say Nixon, I just love his lines: "I'm not a crook's head!"

[#28 :]

I thought he was just emperor of the moon?
"I have ridden the mighty moon worm!"

[#29 :]

washington (it is washington, right?) 'ahhh booze money'

or nixon when he's on the giant mech... destroying the world. do I get the mech as part of the choice? ahhhh com'on

[#30 :]

Beck and Lucy Lui were pretty cool.

[#31 :]

yeah, I liked the whole beck bit. The name of the ep escapes me. That was a good episode.

[#32 :]

That would be Bendin' In The Wind.

 Oh, and since purchasing Futurama-O-Rama at Midtown Comics, I now have no favourite head-in-a-jar but Mini Me. 

[#33 :]

My favourite head-in-the-jar is Matt Groening, season 1, ep 1 I think. I know he doesn't speak, but hey, do what works... 

[#34 :]

SPOILERS FOR FUTURAMA GAME

The Professor as a head in a jar
"Avenge my decapitation!"

[#35 :]

Hmmm tuff question but I think I would have to say Nixon.

[#36 :]

Nemoy, just for being cool enough to actually do it.

[#37 :]

It's the professor! Farnsworth looks so cool as a head in a jar. go play the game.

[#38 :]

The beastie boys! then Nixon. Then George Forman. Then Conan o' Brien. Then Lucy Liu

[#39 :]

Leonard Nimoy, Lucy Liu, Pamela Anderson - and Nixon ("Arrrrroooo!" )
