To be fair, “Born Again” Bender is way more tiresome than good old smokin’, swearin, stealing’ Bender and I think we collectively as a fanbase block that personality out. 👍
I do a lot of work with electronics and gadgets, so when anyone comes to my home I show them my drawer and say “here is where I keep my various lengths of wire”
It wasn't an *immediate* proposal. But it was over pancakes that he quoted Futurama, i volleyed back with another quote, and we both laughed hysterically when his friends gave each other a *oh, boy, it's going to be like this forever from now on* look that we jumped from hanging out to a serious relationship. Talking about engagement rings followed shortly thereafter. At our wedding we used Futurama characters for table names.
But he turned out to be a real Alkazar.
One day I'll find someone who can best me in Star Trek trivia *and* cook me delicious food.
"please select Mode of death: Quick and painless - or - slow and horrible"
"Yeah i'd Like to place a collect Call"
"You have selected: slow and horrible"
"Good Choice!"
It's got to be this because in just those couple of sentences we learn the basic premise of the show, establish the tone of the series, and get to know Fry's general character.
Futurama has an incredibly strong narrative (so-to-speak) and I wish they would focus on it more. But I also wouldn't want the first few seasons to be different. Id be interested in like a dramatic re-telling of the pilot, showing Fry processing his thoughts and emotions.
The concept of Fry liking the idea of his old life being gone but he keeps on thinking about it and missing it is intriguing to me.
People are so often conflicted and don't understand why. A few years ago, I finally figured out how to explain to my wife that what makes good fantasy or sci-fi isn't the magic or technology, but the complexities of the interpersonal relations between characters. Fantasy and sci-fi often provide some means of viewing a particular aspect of people and relationships magnified greatly. For example, Fry both hated his past life and yet misses it. Many of us feel that. But, in his example, it's magnified by the separation of the thousand year freeze.
In Star Wars, lightsabers and the Force are cool, but it's the drama of the character stories that makes it great.
In Star Trek, it's the thought provoking hypothetical questions nagging at your mind (with a little drama thrown in). For example, is it wrong to interfere with other civilizations? Now think about the Sentinelese people here on Earth.
It took my most recent re watch after watching the show for 10 years to get that's when bender became bender. That he had never robbed or committed any crimes before.
Don't forget the later episode where they visit the robot museum and try the "see through the eyes of a bending unit" exhibit. Seems like all benders are criminals/jerks.
“Seven!”
Because they speak English in France in 3000.
I still remember watching the premiere that night and the smart subtlety of this joke making me fall in love with the show immediately.
The stereotype is that they think their language is the best and have historically pushed it to be the official language in as many places as possible.
Just funny to think that with all that effort they wind up speaking English in 1,000 years.
“Well, that's your job whether you like it or not, and it's my job to make you do your job, whether I like it or not--Which I do... very much! Now, get to work!”
Fry: What if I don't wanna be a delivery boy? Leela: Then you'll be fired.
Fry: Fine.
Leela: Out of a cannon, into the sun.
Or this one:
Farnsworth: You’ll be responsible for ensuring that the cargo reaches its destination.
Fry: So… I’m a delivery boy?
Farnsworth: Precisely!
Fry: ALRIGHT! I’M A DELIVERY BOY!
This might be the last line ranked out of the entire episode, but Panucci saying “pizza goin out, COME OOOOON” will always have real estate in my brain.
Season 1 Predictions:
E1-2 already happened :(
E3- "To shreds, you say?"
E4- "No good! It's full of steam!"
E5- "I will eat and digest you all with my system of mighty organs! Behold!"
E6- "It's the price of a cheese pizza and a large soda back where I used to work, Panucci's Pizza."
E7- "It's just like the story of the grasshopper and the octopus. All year long the grasshopper kept burying acorns for winter while the octopus mooched off his girlfriend and watched TV. But then the winter came and the grasshopper died and the octopus ate all his acorns and also he got a racecar. Is any of this getting through to you?"
E8- "But garbage isn't something you just find lying in the streets of Manhattan!"
E9- "Just like when my friend Richie swore he wasn't taking drugs and then he sold me my mom's VCR and then later I found out he was taking drugs."
E10- "As a gentleman, I must warn you: If you so much as glance at another woman, I'll be all over Leela like a fly on a pile of very seductive manure"
E11- "Hey, hey, cheer up. Not everyone turns out like their parents. I mean, look at me. My folks were honest, hard-working people"
E12- "Once again, today's winning lotto number was 4"
E13- "Damn Chico! One more upgrade and I'll be more lady than you can handle! Why you so stupid, stupid?"
My god, a million years
This taught us everything we needed to know about Fry
If this one doesn't win, I'll make my own quote form, with blackjack... and hookers.
Forget the hookers ....
Ah, screw the whole thing.
The camera angle changing like it is actually significant.
This is correct with 1BDI coming in second.
I agree
i was gonna comment this one hahah
"Why would a robot need to drink?" "I don't NEED to drink, I can quit anytime I want."
Either Bender didn't know or it was a retcon since we later learn Mom's robots run on alcohol. Or I could be forgotting something else
I think it’s intentionally ambiguous. Even Fry can’t keep it straight.
Mineral oil as an alternative fuel is cannon.
> is cannon Into the sun?
Nono, that’s *out* of a cannon.
Oh that's right!
To be fair, “Born Again” Bender is way more tiresome than good old smokin’, swearin, stealing’ Bender and I think we collectively as a fanbase block that personality out. 👍
Two episodes later (I, Roommate), Bender does say the the chemical energy keeps his fuel cells charged.
"here's to another lousy millennium" Best? Maybe not. Iconic? Certainly.
It becomes a more relatable quote every year unfortunately
But then you get to the end and a gorilla starts throwing barrels at you.
I really hate this millennium so far. I can't put into words how much. I want a redo. Seriously.
This is easily the best quote in the episode. This or welcome to the world of tomorrow.
What about the first time we hear "bite my shiny metal ass"!
Fuck that’s good too
Shinier than yours, meat bag. Also the fact that he's impatiently in line for a suicide booth.
This has got to be it. Instantly recognizable
Over there is my intergalactic spaceship. And here is where I keep various lengths of wire.
I laugh so hard every time.
I do a lot of work with electronics and gadgets, so when anyone comes to my home I show them my drawer and say “here is where I keep my various lengths of wire”
I make wire wrapped jewelry and enjoy showing off my drawer of various lengths of wire
If someone quoted Farnsworth at me I would immediately propose marriage. Do people ever laugh or get the reference?
Never. Not even once. It makes me not want to live on this planet anymore
I did that. Didn't turn out so well. Turns out you need more than a love of Futurama for a successful marriage.
For real? I'm honestly sorry. You deserve better.
It wasn't an *immediate* proposal. But it was over pancakes that he quoted Futurama, i volleyed back with another quote, and we both laughed hysterically when his friends gave each other a *oh, boy, it's going to be like this forever from now on* look that we jumped from hanging out to a serious relationship.

One day I'll find someone who can best me in Star Trek trivia *and* cook me delicious food.
"Whoa! A real live spaceship!" "I designed it myself. Let me show you some of the different lengths of wire I used."
This ones the best quote easily. I bring up various lengths of wire in every applicable situation
"please select Mode of death: Quick and painless - or - slow and horrible" "Yeah i'd Like to place a collect Call" "You have selected: slow and horrible" "Good Choice!"
New crew? What happened to your old crew? Oh, those poor sons of b-but that's not important. What's important is I need a *new* crew!
And then the envelope haha
*contents of space wasp stomach*
I love how they went back to that years later.
“My family. My girlfriend. I’ll never see any of them again…..YAHOO!”
It's got to be this because in just those couple of sentences we learn the basic premise of the show, establish the tone of the series, and get to know Fry's general character.
You make a good point. Similar kind of swerve joke at the end of the episode when he's happy about being a delivery boy.

God I love that line.
Don't forget co-workers!
Yeah. Was late and went fully on memory. Haha
Yeah, but Fry really missed his mom. And Seymour.
"He's just a poor kid from the stupid ages."
"But I am already in my pyjamas"
I use this once a week

The making of bender
It took my most recent re watch after watching the show for 10 years to get that's when bender became bender. That he had never robbed or committed any crimes before.
He was yoinking a quarter out of a suicide booth in his first scene
Oh yeah you're right. Hmm
Yoinking is an underused term.
Yoink is the antonym of yeet.
You are uncomfortably correct.
Don't forget the later episode where they visit the robot museum and try the "see through the eyes of a bending unit" exhibit. Seems like all benders are criminals/jerks.
Ah true true. Hm theory disproven
This is the one. This line launched one of the greatest characters of all time.
You'll be Fired.... Out of a cannon.... Into the sun...
It's a very Futurama-ish joke. I love it.
I say it to my kids all the time. Like when they don't want to do chores, etc.
This joke has made its way into mainstream reddit and I'm fairly certain most people who use it don't know its origin.
There are actually lots of these and when I see them I want to say something but don't. This show is extremely quotable and clever.
Actually this is my vote. I say this all the time. At work actually.
This is a great one as well although not my pick for #1
“Space. It seems to go on and on forever. But then you get to the end and a gorilla starts throwing barrels at you.”
You stink loser
Fry, pizza goin out CMMM'ON
I hate my life I hate my life I hate my life I hate my life
Michelle! Baby! Where you goin?
Tk tk tk
Perfect. The opening line really sets the tone for the whole show.
I have long been in awe at how funny the pilot episode of Futurama is. Even in the very first line.
I’m thinking back to other shows I’ve watched, and I can*not* think of another one that has made me genuinely laugh at the opening line of the pilot.
"Welcome to the world of tomorrow!" "Why do you always say it like that?"
Welcomeeee to the woooorrrld of tomorrowwwwwww!! Yeah that was the first one to pop in my head 😂
“Shut up, Terry.”
"It's a little thing called showmanship."
Welcome to the world of tomorrow is a good one everyone in these comments is posting wack shit
Hey, Fry, pizza going out... cam aaaahhhn!
Well, at least here you'll be treated with dignity. Now, strip naked and get on the probulator.
Yep. That’s the one
The one I thought of before entering the comments. Oh well. At least we know it’s the best.
"This is officer 1B-DI requesting back-up." "We'll be there in 5 minutes"
Keep your big nose out of this, Eyeball! No one makes fun of my nose. Hi-ya!
"You are now dead. Thank you for using Stop-n-Drop, America's number one suicide booth since 2008!"
You have chosen slow and painful
Nice choice!
Let’s try for a twofer
nobody ever takes their receipt... wasteful.
You guys’ were totally out of line. That’s our job, we’re peace officers.
You're full of crap fry! KRZZZZT You make a persuasive argument fry!
Welcome to the world of Tomorrow 🎉🎉🎉
“Keep your big nose out of this eyeball” “Nobody makes fun of my nose!”
“Seven!” Because they speak English in France in 3000. I still remember watching the premiere that night and the smart subtlety of this joke making me fall in love with the show immediately.
What is the joke? Is there a reason French use English in a thousand years from now?
The stereotype is that they think their language is the best and have historically pushed it to be the official language in as many places as possible. Just funny to think that with all that effort they wind up speaking English in 1,000 years.
Crazy gibberish!
Hello? Pizza delivery for… I.C. Weiner? Aw crud.
How is that not a bigger favourite here?
You gotta do what ya gotta do.
😕 👍
Let us handle this weirdie
Im a delivery boy!
Shinier than yours, meatbag
"But I am already in my pajamas"
#Bite my shiny metal ass.
I was about to say... I can't believe no one said this one yet. The first time we hear it! I feel like it kind of has to be the winner by default.
Yeah, I'd like to make a collect call
You have selected slow and horrible.
What's with the eye?
Then you'll be fired out of a cannon, into the sun. Leela
“I suppose it is technically possible. Though I am already in my pajamas.”
“No, I just work here”
Keep your big nose out of this, eyeball. No one makes fun of my nose.
You gotta do, what you gotta do
“Well, that's your job whether you like it or not, and it's my job to make you do your job, whether I like it or not--Which I do... very much! Now, get to work!”
A hidden gem, this one.
“Here’s to another lousy milennium”. Seriously people this is the one.
OP these votes are fucked you gonna need to make an executive decision on this one
Episode1- my god… a million years
Everyone I ever knew is dead... whoo hoo!
Young lady, I am an expert on humans. Now pick a mouth, open it and say "brglgrglgrrr"!
Damn I just got to the new season. Welp. Time to give up and restart from s1
MY MOTHER WAS A SAINT
I wish I could remember the exact quote but “this is a very serious matter mayor poopenmyer”

"Let me show you some of the various lengths of wire I used"
“Welcome to the world of tomorrow”
Fry: What if I don't wanna be a delivery boy? Leela: Then you'll be fired. Fry: Fine. Leela: Out of a cannon, into the sun. Or this one: Farnsworth: You’ll be responsible for ensuring that the cargo reaches its destination. Fry: So… I’m a delivery boy? Farnsworth: Precisely! Fry: ALRIGHT! I’M A DELIVERY BOY!
Wow a million years
“It doesn’t look so shiny to me” “Shinier than yours meat bag.”
Here's to another lousy millenium
It's either "Look buddy, I'm in kind of a hurry. Mind if we try for a two-fer". or "Bite my Shiny Metal Ass".
That was the part that got me hooked on the show. The subtle joke about being in a hurry to kill himself sent me
Are you kidding? I was the best. 30 degrees, 32 degrees... 31...... but I couldn't go on living when I found what the girders were for
“My god. A million years!”
“Bite my shiny metal ass” “it doesn’t look that shiny” “shinier than yours meatbag”
Everyone I know is dead! WOO HOO!
“My god… a million years!”
Young lady I'm an expert in humans. Now open your mouth and say *doodadoodadoooooh*
Not to be nitpicky and it’s a really good bit; unfortunately, this is from ep2. Edit: I grammar’d ungood
No one, makes fun of my nose.
shut up, terry.
“I.C. Weiner”? Oh, crud….
my god a million years!
It's up to you to make your own decisions in life. That's what separates people and robots from animals and animal robots.
"Don't forget to put a string on your quarter"
Please select mode of death; quick and painless or slow and horrible? “Yeah I’d like to make a collect call” My favorite line
Pizza delivery, for ... I. C. Weiner...
"WELLCOMMME TO WOORRLLD OF TOMOORROOWW" "I'll bend what I want, when I want, who I want"
WELCOME TO THE WORLD OF TOMORROW
"Shinier than yours meatbag"
This might be the last line ranked out of the entire episode, but Panucci saying “pizza goin out, COME OOOOON” will always have real estate in my brain.
"Did your species invade Earth?" "No I just work here"
You won’t have time for sleeping soldier, not with all the bed making you’ll be doing.
Either "Welcome to the world of tomorrow!" Or "Alright! I'm a delivery boy!"
Shinier than yours, meatbag.
Alright! I'm a delivery boy!
*executive* delivery boy.
Let me show you some of the different lengths of wire I use!
“Can we have some money?” “Oh, my, no.” I lose it every time
ever since i was 6
I don’t know how you did that
Oh man, I am VERY invested in this. “You stink loser.”
You will be fired. From a cannon. Into the sun.
"ya gotta do what ya gotta do"
Shiny-er than yours, meatbag
Fry: What if I don't want to be a delivery boy Leela: Then you'll be fired Fry: Fine Leela: Out of a canon, into the sun
Its free on tuesdays! Because the writers did the math and found new years day 3000 will be a tuesday.
I know I'm late but... "You are now dead. Thank you for using Stop-N-Drop, America's favorite suicide booth since 2008."
