Tell me your favorite line from Futurama?

The big brain am winning again! I am the greetest! Now, I am leaving Earth for no raisin.

EDIT: After reading your replies, it occurred to me that too much of my everyday speech is made up of lines from the show. Maybe that’s why everyone thinks I’m weird.

The rest of aren’t normal, and that’s what makes us great! … So, Leela, don’t want to be like us? Or do you want to be like Adlai, with no severe mental or social problems whatsoever?

Second EDIT: I didn’t expect so many responses, but I’ve just been reading them all and giggling to myself. Thank you everyone I really needed this. Keep em coming!

Professor: Your tux doesn't fit because you stole it from a boy.

Bender: You mean a man. It was his Bar Mitzvah.

Nope it was the one where the Professor doesn't want to live on this planet anymore. (The evolution episode.)

The supreme rulers are hardly known by their subjects.

The lesser are loved and praised.

The even lesser are feared.

The least are despised.

Those who show no trust will not be trusted.

Those who are quiet value the words.

When their task is completed, people will say:

We did it ourselves.

When they're getting pulled down toward Atlanta:

How many atmospheres can this ship withstand?

Well it's a spaceship, so I'd say anywhere between zero and one.

"You can't just sit here in the dark listening to classical music'

"I could if you hadn't turned on the lights and shut off the stereo."

That's not an astronaut, that's a TV comedian! And he was just using space travel as a metaphor for beating his wife.

28

Farnsworth: Dear Lord! That's over 150 atmospheres of pressure!

Fry: How many atmospheres can the ship withstand?

Farnsworth: Well, it's a space ship, so I'd say anywhere between zero and one.

Thus global warming was solved, once and for all.
But....
Once And For All.

Bender: "So people will actually pay money to find love...? I have an idea, an idea so genius...." gavel sounds "Stupid anti-pimping laws!"

You just made me realize I say “I have no strong feelings one way or the other” a lot and I think usually people don’t know I’m quoting anything.

So close to my other favorite, from the same character and episode:

I also say it all the time, lol.

"If it's a lesson in love, watch out; I suffer from a very sexy learning disability. What do I call it, Kiff?"

Tie between:

If anyone needs me, I'll be in the angry dome

angry muttering as the PES flies away

and

Well Susie, it isn't foreigners, it's global warming

Gwabu wabu?

Uh, sure...

(destructive noises) Buddha, Zeus, God, one of you guys, do something! Satan, you owe me!

They say the key to any successful battle is the element of surprise. SURPRISE!

My absolute favorite: You win again, gravity!

“We know nothing about their history, their language, or what they look like, but we can assume this: they stand for everything that we don’t stand for. And also, they told me you guys look like dorks.”

29

Not exactly an iconic line, but I love the delivery:

"Have you heard of the Monks of Deshuba?"

Fry: "I've... not heard of them."

Futurama's great for nerdy science gags, social satire, and pop culture spoofs, but its best jokes are always uniquely stupid twists of language like this.

I'll start my own amusement park with blackjack and hookers. In fact, forget the blackjack.

To shreds, you say..

Well, how's his wife holding up? To shreds, you say...

24

Its actually from that same scene; "NOW I AM LEAVING EARTH FOR NO RAISIN!!!" I often say "for no raisin!!!" in my daily life. :)

23

The one I use most often: "I've heard worse excuses to drink".

When you do things right people won't be sure you've done anything at all.

"Thanks to denial, I'm immortal!"

"What really killed the dinosaurs?" " ME!!! "

"But you're better than normal! You're abnormal!"

17

Also:

That's over atmospheres of pressure!

How many can the ship withstand?!

Well, it's a spaceship, so I'd say anywhere between zero and one.

14

"I'm having one of those things! You know? A headache with pictures"

"... An idea?"

"I'm going to remind Fry of his humanity, the way only a woman can."

"You're going to do his laundry?"

Edit - the one that had me literally rolling off the couch because I was laughing so hard was, "That just raises further questions!"

16

This reminds me of another great Professor quote.

Prof: I’ve just finished recharging the matter compressor.

Fry: What’s the matter compressor?

Prof: Nothing’s the matter now that I’ve charged the matter compressor.

13

"Did you know their hair just keeps growing and growing?"

Such a legit thing to be grossed out about.

“Take the deal, Fry! If there's a delicious cake, isn't it better to have one slice than none at all? Even if four other guys eat the other four slices, and they're all thrusting their sweaty naked bodies against the cake?”

This isn't a productive area of discussion.

  • I don't know what to do! Should I eat more butter?!
  • This is the worst part: the calm before the battle...oh wait! I forgot about the battle!
  • Some of you will be forced through a fine mesh screen for your planet. Those men are the bravest of all...
  • Please, gentlemen, we've all seen too many body bags and ball sacks.
  • That wasn't cowardice!
  • No, Scruffy, it's me, Washbucket! I love you, Scruffy! I've always loved you!
  • Now open your mouth...No not that one. Your other mouth.

"What about what?" - Philip J Fry responding to the professor yelling WHAT in a tiny ship in Fry's ear when the professor and crew controlled tiny robot versions of themselves to sneak inside Fry's body

11

I know exactly which scene you are referring to hahaha damn this show.

7

I've been known to day, "I did do the nasty in the past-y," when I discover I've made a mistake.

3

My absolute favorite line is, "Spare me your space age technobabble, Attila the Hun."

That same episode also gave us the phrase, "a partially barfed-up heart," which is a phrase I can't even type here without laughing.

9

The use of words expressing something other than their literal intention. Now that is ironyyy

Bender, depressed walks up to a bar:

"Gimmie your largest, strongest, cheapest drink"

9

Old lady: Like I always say, live fast and die young Bender: You should say something else

9

I don't want to live on this planet anymore.

Thus solving the problem once and for all.

"So, what you think you just explained was..."

"That's right. This box contains our own universe!"

8

Gundersons Nuts! They're Nut so good!

I'm Shocked. SHOCKED! well not that shocked.

Hey. Fry. Pizza going out. C'MON!

If we hit that bullseye, the rest of the dominoes should fall like a house of cards. Checkmate!

The two I use on a regular basis:

"for no raisin"

and "Tell them I hate them."

Other ones that come out when the opportunity arises.

"Don't you worry about blank, let me worry about blank."

"Fifty-six!!!!"

"First one, then the other."
