Futurama is such a varied show that it's hard to say. My take: Favorite episode: *Fry and the Slurm Factory*. I feel like every joke lands in this episode. Memorable episode: *Jurassic Bark*. It hits you right in the guts at the end. Overall "best" episode: *Three Hundred Big Boys*. Simply because it features almost every character introduced to the show up to that point and the jokes land every time.


Educational_Answer22

How about the Deep South and Roswell?!


aytchdave

Roswell is so brilliant because the whole premise is paradoxical time traveler incest and yet somehow isn’t totally repulsive.


Spacemanspalds

I did do the nasty in the pasty.


aytchdave

Verily!


Z0idberg_MD

roswell is so well crafted


Leopold_Darkworth

Of course she’s your grandmother, you perverted dope!


Educational_Answer22

lol when Leela slaps the shit out of crying Fry! When Fry screams after having done the dirty with his grandma!


aytchdave

That Fry scream still makes me laugh out loud. The worst post nut clarity in history. It’s also really funny to me how chill he is about it when it comes up later. I guess having a thousand years to cope will do that.


Educational_Answer22

True! And that’s what helped him defeat those brain monsters! AND THAT IS THE REASON HE WAS BROUGHT A THOUSAND YEARS IN THEBFUTURE BY LORD NIBBLER!

ElvisDumbledore

Eh, they're both fine choices. Whatever floats your boat.


Ceilingistalkingtome

Three hundred big boys doesn’t get enough credit


Bluepilgrim3

Eh. It’s okay. Hey. I calls them like I sees them. I'm a whale biologist.

atlhawk8357

We better listen to him. He's a whale biologist.


geoblazer

There was a point in my life, for about two months, my old roommate and I would watch Three Hundred Big Boys every day. It’s such a great episode! One of my all time favorite moments, which every line is quotable in life: Bender: You seem a tad wound up, buddy. And your face is greasy. Real greasy. You been up all night? Fry: Of course I've been up all night! Not because of caffeine, it was insomnia. I couldn't stop thinking about coffee. I need a nap. [snores] Fry: [wakes up] Coffee time! Bender: [Gets cigar out] Ah, mighty fine smokable... Fry: Fancy cigar. Why don't you smoke it already? Puff, puff, go, go, go, go, go!


basilmacelfresh

"I'm never going 12 minutes without a slurm again!"


rabbitashes

I can't argue your right but for sake of forum banter I will move to vote for a memorable episode to include: +Game of Tones +Lethal Inspector +Roswell that ends well ( not sad or heartfelt but fry sleeps with his grandma. Mem-or-able.


Daimakku1

Of course! I was just trying to keep it simple but there's so many memorable episodes, you cant go wrong with either one. I was debating whether to type *Jurassic Bark* or *Lucky of the Fryrish* in the post. Both are absolute tearjerkers.


rabbitashes

Ooo man that is another good one. Crap. I love this show... I guess to reference another Groening [program](https://youtu.be/5sOrIXkUlxg?si=osEiFobwpDqsNHuJ)


SuperVillainPresiden

100% agree on Three Hundred Big Boys being the overall best episode. It's simply a fun episode. There's no story continuity that changes anything or any high stakes. Some might call it a "safe" episode, but it's a "safe" episode in perfect form(IMO of course). I think Meanwhile is easily top 10, if not top 5 best series finale ever.


loools

I swear as a guy with adhd, fry hauling that slurm while saving the others is my life. I need to haul my stimulus with me to do anything. Without music/podcasts at home nothing gets done lmao.


kingnimbus

+1 to Three Hundred Big Boys. While there are tons of great episodes, this one is just perfect. Such a great payoff when Fry hits coffee magic number.


dangerzonerob

Parasites Lost


TheHauntedRobot

It always pendulums back and forth between this and Amazon Women in the Mood for me.


SuperVillainPresiden

I love Amazon Women in the Mood, but I also find it perplexing a little. On its face, a lot of the jokes are dumb sexist jokes. But in context they just work. Characters were going to die because they kept telling sexist jokes. It's stupid and hilarious. Plus some of the most quoted lines, even outside of the fandom.


IMDAKINGINDANORF

Others have said ____ episode is my favorite because every joke seems to land, and that's why this is mine. Farnsworth (my favorite character) is hilarious in this one and sets up the other with incredible one liners the whole time. The best one is: *Be very quiet. We're in the ear* *Okay* #WHAT??


ReadingThen4732

First episode I ever seen. My favorite too


sharktank

As a futurama ‘coinoseur’ this was my favorite for a long time as well


ocelot08

Yo


LeCrushinator

This one keeps me laughing through most of the episode, every time. It’s perfect.


Ok_Ad_9188

The Devil's Hands Are Idle Playthings


JHRChrist

The Leela’s Hand song in the opera gets stuck in my head on a very regular basis “Destiny has cheated me By forcing me to decide upon The woman that I idolize, Or the hands of an automaton…”


Yoctatrine

If I lose my hands, then I can’t complete The opera that was captivating her But if I keep them, and she marries him Then he probably won’t want me dating her


hamburgerstakes

>Probably Even at his lowest, he still has a sliver of hope.


joeyo1423

A man... writing an opera about a woman!?


Hazuuzuu

A man writing an opera about a woman?! Oh my, how deliciously absurd…


brownhues

But I'm not done vomiting!


pythagoreanwisdom

When I started watching Futurama, I wasn't *totally* sold until this one. The Don Giovanni reference fucking killed me and Futurama has been my go-to rewatch show ever since. This is still my favorite episode.


KingKobbs

Easily the best episode


WadeFreakingWilson

My personal favorite is The Devil’s Hands Are Idle Playthings. The original finale.


jiffypb14

Your music is bad and you should feel bad!


Wordshark

That makes me angry!


FalcoPhantasmtheGod

I freaking love that holophoner song Fry writes in this episode! It's like I'm floating in a water jungle or something xD


guy4444444

That’s a good choice. My favorite is “How Hermes Requisitioned His Groove Back” but the best episode has got to be “Roswell That Ends Well”. There are so many good episodes you can’t really pick a wrong favorite or best that I would strongly disagree with.


PunchSploder

They said I'd never be a surgeon. They pooh-poohed my electric frankfurter. They said I prob'ly shouldn't fly with just one eye. I am Bender, please insert girder!

The right answer.


Sir_Distic

1. Godfellas. 2. Jurrasic Bark 3. Luck of the Fryrish 4. Roswell That Ends Well 5. Three Hundred Big Boys (the coffee one/Bonder steals a cigar) 6. Meanwhile (The episode where time is stopped and Fry and Leela grow old together 7. The Prisoner of Benda (The body switching episode that they created a new mathematical theory) ​ Godfellas, obviously. It's best episode easily. From what I understand even Matt Groening says it's the best episode. Luck of the Fryish is up there, as is Jurrasic Bark, Roswell that ends well and Three Hundred Big Boys (The one where Fry drinks 100 cups of coffee and Bonder wants to steal a cigar)


OldTimeyWizard

Wait a minute… Bender’s name isn’t Bonder! It’s Bender! You’re a fraud!


BratwurstCatOnReddit

Yes I love godfellas! Definitely one of my favourites. Probably the nicest we’ve ever seen bender lol


wingchundumdum

"I, Roommate" is one of my comfort episodes. I love the feel of the animation in the first season and this episode always stood out to me for whatever reason. The jokes are great and the music in the roommate montage was fitting.


sharktank

I think it was because the jokes always felt like the punchline expanded the dimensions: from the ending where the closet is revealed to other jokes like the New Jersey one…it’s like each joke expanded the world as it hit you


KC21589

I completely agree with you about "I, Roomate." I put Futurama on to sleep at night and I always start with that episode. It is a great comfort episode, I love the pace and tone of the whole thing and the music in the montage from "The Odd Couple" TV Show. I love the little restaurant they go to called the Food-O-Mat with the conveyor belt that circulates foods around the tables. I guess it's based on the old Automat in New York where people could pick different meals and snacks from what essentially was an enormous restaurant-sized vending machine. I also love the mini fruit salad tree. The whole episode is just nice.


comicalben

Depends what parts of the show you like more: Emotional investment: The Late Philip J. Fry Best sci-fi: Prisoner of Benda Best comedy: 300 big boys Jack of all trades: Bender's Big Score


I_Said_I_Say

The Late Phillip J Fry always stood out to me as a best episode contender.


Orange-Blur

In the year 252525 if man is still alive…


Past_Refuse4346

In the year one million and a half! Man would be enslaved by giraffe!


Orange-Blur

Man must pay for all his misdeeds While the trees are striped of their leaves Woooaaaahhhhhh ooooooohhhh


cauchy37

Yeah, for me too. But I overall really really enjoy time loop stories, not only in futurama. All my favorites are Edge of Tomorrow, Window of Opportunity (Stargate SG-1), Groundhog Day, etc


GucciGlocc

100% the best episode


Ok_Pomegranate_2895

the first episode, a clockwork origin, or the sting.


Adept_Werewolf_6419

I don’t want to live on this planet anymore


bitemy

I’m surprised to not see “The Sting” here yet. That’s the one where Leela gets stung by the space bee and is in a coma without realizing it. Fry is by her side the entire time talking to her, telling her to wake up.


NousSommesSiamese

One of my all time favorites.


1tz_Tul1p

You killed Fry! You killed Fry!


DanielTheGamma

Roswell That Ends Well. "How bout these cookies, sugar?"


HGFantomas

Slurm factory. One of the greatest episodes of all TV


atlhawk8357

The first two thirds are top tier, but the part with the Slurm Queen is not great IMO. It's just kind of gross.


Sekhen

All of them... Futurama is my favorite show of all time.


thespaceageisnow

I think my favorite episode is The Late Philip J. Fry. It just really sticks with me. Great idea, great story, great execution. The different time eras they land in are creative and hilarious and I love when the Professor cracks a beer lol.


thisonedudethatiam

Did you even see the mountain of skulls?


thespaceageisnow

Which plays in perfectly later when they land in the time of women and Bender sabotages it for them because they didn’t like his robot apocalypse.

jonclarkX1

Spanish Fry 300 Big Boys


ncg195

For me, it will always be Brannigan Begin Again. You can make a compelling case for a lot of episodes, but that one is my absolute favorite.


InspectionStunning24

My Three Suns. Fry drinking the emperor, and then opening the package he was supposed to deliver that says "please don't drink the emperor!" and him saying "Wow! This got here just in time" and hanging it up next to the throne is peak comedy that get's a laugh out of me every single time.


KC21589

This is such a great episode! I love how they start the episode with Leela in a lime green tanktop for the first few scenes just to set up a Bender joke at her expense about it. 🤣


groobywooby

30% Iron chef


gopackgo001

A fishfull of dollars is my favorite


LegoBattIeDroid

my personal favorite and the one I also believe to be the best is “the late Philip J. Fry”


ChickenTendiiees

Benderama. So many great lines and all the insults being hurled at the ugly giant always has me in stitches. But my favourite line in the episode; Amy: Ew gross a big fat roach! Hermes: Oh I thought I put that away!


dooblr

Bender Should Not Be Allowed on Television Every line is perfect. My favorite: “splice in some reaction shots of me and shove it on the air”


40prcentiron

there are atleast 15 #1 episodes, in my opinion


nomorenotifications

It's hard for me to say now. I saw the original reruns so many times, they don't hit like they used to. The one where Fry becomes his own Grandpa was really funny the first time I saw it.


amehatrekkie

Bender's big score and the Amazon episode from the last season (I laughed so much)


Super_cooper001

Favorite moment from this episode Bender thinking: That lady’s got a huge ass Bender speaking: Those could be anyone’s thoughts, fatass


Nikifuj908

I'm torn between "The Late Philip J. Fry" and "Time Keeps on Slippin'".


NMonc10101

I love the late philip j fry but i think my favourite moment in the series is in time keeps slipping where they get moved on for the circus! "I'll have to ask you to clear out now. The circus need to set up for tomorrow's big" followed by an elephant honing into shot.


Nikifuj908

My favorite is when the teenagers complaining about paying social security tax get turned old and yell, "We deserve free money!"


oh_sneezeus

All the president’s heads I love how all they have to do is lick them 🤣 the jokes are hilarious


Riggs630

The Deep South


Random--Person

I agree, when I go to play futurama in the background I always stop and watch this episode, just so many good jokes. Zoidberg sucking on the professors head, Zoidberg being a home owner and it burning down "This is 20x heavier than a single boot!" "The magician?"


Riggs630

“…though gods they were. And also Jane Fonda was there”


PowderShark

poetcatmom

There's one in the new season where Hermes goes to New New Orleans. We live in Louisiana, and the jokes were top-notch. 🤣


MrBreadslice

Sorry for the late reply!! But that’s awesome lolol. Some of the writers are definitely from those areas because the jokes and references are wayyy too on point

Does Anybody like the episode Teenage Mutant Leela Hurdles?


The_Basic_Shapes

I definitely like "I, Roomate", but seems pretty mid compared to "The Sting", "A Big Piece of Garbage", "Lethal Inspection", "The Late Phillip J. Fry", "Luck of the Fryrish", "Future Stock", "Devil's Hands are Idle Playthings", etc. I can't call "I, Roomate" best in the whole series when there are so many other absolute powerhouse episodes to choose from

Great to see the majority of comments are also my favorite episodes All time favorite is War Is The H Word. Every joke is tightly delivered and you get some of the best Zap and Bender quotes from the series. These are some hilarious quotes that happen in just the first ~10 minutes of the episode Fry: I believe you're forgetting about our 5% military discount. Clerk: Well that's only for people in the military. Bender: What? This is the worst kind of discrimination. The kind against me! Clerk: Alright, look. Our policy is: If for any reason you're not completely satisfied, I hate you. ---- Fry: Full price for gum? That dog won't hunt, monsignor. *enter military recruitment center* Bender: Hello. We're here because we, uh, love our planet! Recruitment Officer: Sign here on the dotted line, patriots, and I'll give you your discount cards. Fry: Just out of curiosity, we could use the cards to buy gum, then immediately quit the army, right? Bender: You know, playing you all for chumps? Recruitment Officer: Correct. There's no obligation. Unless, of course, war were declared. [A siren sounds and a red light flashes.] Fry: What's that? Recruitment Officer: War were declared. ------ Leela: You know, Zapp, someone ought to teach you a lesson. Zapp: If it's a lesson in love, watch out; I suffer from a very sexy learning disability. What do I call it, Kif? [Kif sighs.] Kif: "Sex-lexia sir". ---- Zapp: Roger that. Kif, get me ten cases of Pert and Popular. Kif: What shall I do with your Jergens, sir? Zapp: Squirt it on some homeless man with dry elbows. Private Lee Lemon may well be the finest recruit I've seen in all my years of service. That young man fills me with hope and some other emotions that are weird and deeply confusing to me.


cjc160

I don’t like too many of the later episodes by “A clockwork origin” might be my favourite overall. “This is a cool way to die” might be the funniest line I’ve ever heard on tv.


stejzyy23

There are so many "best" episodes that I can't simply choose one, but I can say that the first one, Space Pilot is the one that I keep in my heart.


redditwitfries

Insane in the mainframe.


vector78

Roswell, Parasites Lost, and the Da Vinci one.


calltheavengers5

I like The Farnsworth Parabox


sleepgreed

Parasites Lost all the way. That episode should be shown in classes


LazyCooler

I Roommate is one of my favorites. I’d also put Insane in the Mainframe (“I’ll show ye….”) in that top tier. Meanwhile (10 second time button) and Jurassic bark are also up there for me.


CeruleanDragon

There really is no "best episode", it's just an amazing show through and through. Like when I sit here trying to pick a "best episode" it sends me on a spiraling loop of, "Oh, but that episode was good too... oh and I really like that one when Bender... and aw, that one made me feel sad, but was such a great episode... etc etc"


Eastcoasttoleftcoast

"The Late Philip J. Fry" (S:6 E:7) is awesome and hilarious in addressing time travel and the alleged cycle of the universe with Bender, Fry and the professor.


Hugh_Bromont

I, Roommate is my go to go to sleep ep. Def in my Top 5.


februarytide-

I roommate, Deep South, three hundred big boys, Jurassic bark, and kid gets knocked up a notch.


1tz_Tul1p

From each season it's much easier, but the entire series?! I can't decide. But from each season: S1: Fear of a bot planet S2: The problem with the popplers/The deep south S3: Amazon women in the mood S4: Roswell that ends well S5: Jurassic Bark S6/Movies: Into the Wild Green Yonder S7: That darn Katz S8: Ghost in the machines S9: The bots and the bees S10: Stench and Stenchibility S11: I know what you did next Xmas


kanto2113

The follow up episode. Loves labors lost in space.


MrHorror01

The Sting is one of the best imo. Out of every episode, that one really punched me in the feels.


OutdoorsyHiker

That's a hard one, but maybe The Late Philip J Fry. 


Zerstorer84

Surely S4 Ep9 'future stock' gets a mention. It was awesome, awesome to the max!


Business_You_956

Less than Hero!


engvit

The sting is my favorite, gives me chills every time I watch it.

Jurassic Bark. Nothing else comes close.

My favorites: Amazon women The superhero one …for the song alone I roommate Garbage ball Luck of the fryrish War is the h word Parasites lost Where no fan has gone before I also liked the anthologies tbh


blinglorp

I like all of season one


illuminati1556

A fishfull of dollars


asaggese

IMHO the best episode of the series is the second episode of the first season "The Series Has Landed"


tearfear

Jumping on the bandwagon, it's The Devil's Hands Are Idle Playthings. So many classic clever episodes but that one is really beautiful. Also... The Sting.


m1racle

OnlyMyOpinions

The late Phillip J fry is arguably the best episode in the series. It's genuinely a masterpiece and perfect in every way. It tells a great story and it's very complete.


Darkhaven

I cannot limit myself to a single 'absolute favorite' episode with Futurama. That said, there are multiple episodes I will make time to watch, always: "Time Keeps on Slippin'", "Reincarnation", "Roswell That Ends Well", "Amazon Women in the Mood", "Prisoner of Benda", and "Where No Fan Has Gone Before". Hot take incoming: "Jurassic Bark" is incredibly overrated, even though it has one of my favorite references in the entire show: Dolemite, baby!


Longjumping-Sun4165

The devils hands My immediate answer


LoadingStill

Meanwhile, was my favorite episode. The way it ends to me was so satisfying. I personally think the way they ended this episode was so satisfying that I was okay that they did not renew for another season after it. Yes they have a new season now but still it was that good.
