best character facial expressions...

[:]

i dont' know if a topic like this has been posted before, but i thought it would be a good one.
the reason i started this was cause i just love zoidberg's look of self satisfaction when he buys 8 newspaper's after fry's opera in devil's hands.

other notable ones:
when fry slaps his head after amy tells him it's good to make dates wait 20 mins...
fry's look of disbelief when the love note in the sky (i love you, leela) disappeared into a black hole...

that's all i can be bothered remembering now, so yeah, go on have fun. that zoidberg look is tops though. 

[#1 :]

I'll go with Zapps "worse for wear" look in Brannigan Begin Again when he turns up at planet express begging for work ;

"..or service you sexually?"   

[#2 :]

frys expression in " a big piece of garbage"  after he smells the ball of garbage from the smell a scope.

this is a wierd topic but meh.

[#3 :]

a head in the polls, nixon, when looking straight in the mirror at himself and asking "...with charisma?"

[#4 :]

Zoidberg "buttered up with candy" in "Bender Gets Made".

Leela at the end of "Raging Bender" when she say she got back at someone who hurt her feelings in high school.

Fry looking into his sandwich in "A Big Piece Of Garbage" when Leela tell him what sandwiches are made of.

[#5 :]

The look on Fry and Benders faces as when they give eachtoher a sideways glance while watching Amy clean the Planet Express ship during Love and Rocket.

[#6 :]

Bender's tumbs up and wink, when Fry puts up a picture of a woman in "I Roomate".

[#7 :]

The more I look at that bit of animation the dirtier it looks...

Ahem...

Anyway, the first time Bender says "bite my shiny metal ass", the scowl on Fry's face is very funny.

[#8 :]

The Look on Benders face in Parasites lost when he says "ello, whats all this then"

Rosewell that Ends Well when Fry realizes he is his own Grandfather.

[#9 :]

Zoidberg after he's told "sure you could vote for *blank* if you want another recession"

[#10 :]

Lrrr: "Have you smelled Donkey Kongs loincloth lately?"
Zoidberg: "Yes."

The line wasn't that great but Zoidberg's face was priceless.
Also, in I Dated A Robot, when Fry looks at his handless arms after feeding the T-Rex.

[#11 :]

I loved Fry's whole bit in "Parasites Lost" about the vase:

"Did you see that vase? It was all like KKKRRASHHH!"

[#12 :]

hehehe
another good one is zoidberg's face after the lady in his embassy asks him if he'd like some cocoa. (a taste of freedom)
also, fry's gasp when he realises where a giant nerd would be. (the day the earth stood stupid.)

[#13 :]

Nearly all of the Robot Devils expressions in 'The Devils Hands are Idle Playthings' and some of Pharoah Benders expressions.
"And be quick about it!"

[#14 :]

Hell is other Robots:

Fry: I know big Vinnie said he was giving me the kiss of death, buuuut, I still think he was gay.
Leela: Did he give you his tongue?
Fry: A little.
[Leela gives a suspicious glance]

Bender gets made:

Zoidberg: Thanks for the help, Leela.

300 Big boys:

[100]: BING!

Parasites lost:

Zoidberg: Guess again.

Free laugh to David X whenever Bender looks angry for no apparent reason.

Branigan begina agin:

Neutralness: I have no strong feelings whatsoever.

Crustaician in love:

Zoidberg: MORE WEIGHT!

Put your head on my shoulder:

Amy's date: Amy, I must say you're all made up, just like Fry's date.  Get it?
[Amy shakes her head]

Actually almost every expression out of Amy or Fry that episode was perfect.  Pick a frame, it's art.

Deep South:

Fry: ...I tame them.

Seriously, I could go on and on.  I'll stop there, though.

Oh, wait.

You're all crazy!  Shut up!  Let me Talk!

[#15 :]

Both expressions here are spot on   

[#16 :]

hahaha

zoidberg's face when he says "the rotting carcass of a whale?"

these are all good. the important thing is, i'm meeting new people.

[#17 :]

<~~~~~~~ Fry's expression. He just looks so relieved.



i love when Fry gets all protective like this. His expression here is awesome.



I don't think i need to explain why i like this pic. 



She really looks stunned. Kudos to the animator



Expressions and body language are spot on.

[#18 :]

[#19 :]

Fry's narrow-eyed scowl that he uses on Gunter in "Mars University" and on Bender in "The Honking" ius my absolute favorite.

*scowl* I don't like you.
I used to have a friend to liked to smell things with me. *scowl* 

[#20 :]

benders. whenever his eyes squint or whatever, his evil gaze, his frightened reactions...its good they made bender able to show lots of emotion as a robot character.

[#21 :]

I know this has already been said, but when Fry finds out he's his own Grandpa, his expression is priceless. I wish I could find an exact framegrab...
*plays tape*
Farnsworth: Isn't it obvious?!
*Fry shakes his head*
Farnsworth: YOU ARE!!!
*Stops the tape about .2 seconds after Fry relizes this*

Yep.  Classic.

I also like all of Fry's scowls.

"I'll show ye."

[#22 :]

I love how Bender just shuts up and looks up at Leela in The Problem with Popplers after she accuses him of stepping on popplers for fun.

[#23 :]

One of my favorites is the look on Hermes' face when Farnworth and the PE gang are about to be fired into the sun in "The Farnsworth Parabox". I'd say it may be my favorite Hermes moment in the series...

[#24 :]

In Time Keeps on Slipping
Zoidberg: "You don't want to end up old and lonely like ZOIBBERG!"

[#25 :]

Fry's sideways glances in the auction in "Fishful of Dollars," because it just shows some real attention to detail on the animators' part; the contrast between him cheering and then his reaction to the booing audience cracks me up every time.

If we can count minor character, then I'd like to nominate Cinnamon, Wernstrom's fish, after he hits it with the newspaper in "A Big Piece of Garbage." That fish is just so darn cute.

[#26 :]

I'd say Hermes when he's considering whether or not he should press the button to fire the crew into the Sun or not.

[#27 :]

Just remembered that episode reading this post!
Fry's reaction when he learns how much he has in his account, priceless!

Something not far off from what i'd do

[#28 :]

This one from Mother's Day
(hosted by Mercapto)

[#29 :]

Fry in "The Cryonic Woman", in the whole run about the career chips:

Leela: We can still get jobs. Luckily, I saved our old career chips.

Fry: Our what?

Leela: Career chips . They assign you the job you're best at.

Fry gives her a blank stare*

Leela: I tried to give you one

Stare*

Leela: It's how we met.

Fry: And then what happened?

Funny, funny stuff.

[#30 :]

This is just awesome. From Space Pilot 3000



Edit: A red X? Come on! It should show up later though.

And a funny one from Bend Her

[#31 :]

"It's a little thing called style.  Look it up some time."  Bender's pose is hillarious from The Lesser of Two Evils.

Does anyone know of a good screen capture program so I can get it through my DVD-ROM?

[#32 :]

What about "Cryonic Woman"?
Fry: Oh, so it's a little safer than skateboarding.
Then smile.
Then grin.
Then smile.
Time-filler? I don't care, it's funny.

[#33 :]

I think that that was a great line. It kind of reminds me of Fry's line in "The Day the Earth Stood Stupid", "And it's all thanks to the books at my local library". That's why I don't understand why everyone hates that line when the one in "The Cryonic Woman" was hilarious.

[#34 :]

BRING THEM TO THE SNU-SNU CHAIMBERS!

[#35 :]

that one is brilliant, and also anytime the profeesor says 'wernstrom'

[#36 :]

That whole scene in "Branningan, Begin Again" when Fry says:
"This is gonna be awesome! We're gonna be like, POW POW POW! And they're gonna be like aahhhhh! *makes explosion noises* And then we'll have pancakes to celebrate and I'll be like *makes eating noises, while pretending to eat invisible pancakes*"

-Also, Fry and Bender's expressions when Leelas guesses that Zapp is about to kill them. (same episode) And Fry's expression:
"Leela save me! And yourself I guess! And my banjo! *Fry gives innocent smile* And Fry!"

[#37 :]

*BUMP*

I love the Professors look of anxiety as he leaves Fry alone with Dr. Zoidberg in The Series has Landed.

Also in Space Pilot 3000 when Fry is pressing the button for the suicide booth, and his unknowing smile turns into an irritated scowl.

[#38 :]

All of Leela's expressions are great.

Whenever the Professor gets angry as well.

[#39 :]

from SP3K (and others):

Fry: Huh, huh, HUNA!

Bender's "angry, evil eyes"

from WMIBACIL:

Amy: Hello handsome, is there is there in there for 2?

from BItW:

When Fry, Leela, Amy and Zoidberg eat a hot dog with an angry look on their faces.

from AOI2:

All of Cute Fairy Amy's expressions
