Yup. The whole exchange is fantastic. I do the head-nod part with my partner a lot if I struggle to explain something and she gives me a better phrasing for it (and vice versa).
One of my favorites was from Bender: "Oh, but you can, but you might have to 'metaphorically' make a deal with the 'devil'. And by 'devil', I mean Robot Devil, and by 'metaphorically', I mean get your coat."
I feel like Fry didn't try hard enough. There definitely still were options, avenues to explore. By running away he just outed himself for how vanilla he is in bed.
CAT: We're having a really nice time. I'm dating Marilyn Monroe and also
I have another girlfriend who's a mermaid. She's half woman, half
fish. (He starts licking and kissing a photograph then turns round.)
It's Miranda, my girlfriend.
As she comes out of the water we see the top half of her is a fish, the
bottom half is a woman.
HOLLY: Somehow I'd imagined she'd be a woman on top and a fish on the
bottom.
CAT: No! That's a stupid way round. (He sticks out his tongue briefly
and grins and waves.)
My favourite bit is this one from a different episode:
Fry: What's the matter compressor?
Professor Farnsworth: Nothing's the matter, Fry, now that I've turbo-charged the matter compressor.
I’m partial to the joke in this episode:
[Plunging the ship deep into the ocean]
“How many atmospheres of pressure can the ship take?”
“Well it’s a space ship, so somewhere between zero and one.”
I always think back to this one:
Leela: "that guy's turning this place into some sort of 'business'"
Professor: "this isn't a business, I've always thought of it more as a source of cheap labor ... like a family"
I don't know why I like it so much. I could see the punchline coming but how the exchange got there makes me smile every time.
It's the ol' "headache with pictures" quote that gets me.
lol, it's not just the quote that gets me with the "headache with pictures" ... it's Leela saying something like, "you mean an idea?"
and then Fry with the weird nod reply

I've been quoting Farnsworth's "I don't want to live on this planet anymore" a lot lately.
When he meets real mermaids in the manga, isn't there one that looks exactly like this in the crowd?
Mermaid vs reverse-mermaid; a classic debate
Why does this dude always have crazy eyes? What's his deal?
We call them land-sea lions. I tame them.
Hail Atlanta!
These here are some Yankees!
How did a city with such a great airport end up at the bottom of the ocean?
I was living in Georgia when this aired, so it really hit home. My favorite episode by far.

Fissy?
Yes. Stop asking.
Umbriel: This here's a volcanic vent. The water comes out at over 4000 degrees.
Fry: No Kidding....
Umbriel: Did it just get colder?
Reminds me of Red Dwarf:
Lister (or maybe it was Rimmer): That's a mermaid? Shouldn't it be a woman on top and fish on bottom?
Cat: No, that's the stupid way round!
Danny John-Jules absolutely crushed that role
Yes he did. I bet he's fun as hell to hang out with too.
I explained to my wife that most men would rather have a vagina attached to a fish than a human torso attached to whatever a fish has down there.
How was your night on the sofa?
But having offspring is so much easier when she just lays her eggs and He deposits his seed over them.. 😭 lmao
I also choose that guy's dead fish
A classic https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=npyOOsxoA8I
Thought it'd be this https://youtu.be/ZIBLgLNLX2g
A masterpiece, can't believe I've never heard it before.
My favourite joke from this episode, and one of my favourite jokes from all of Futurama: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T2W64Xbt7lo
Mine: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ouMV8EhR3Jw
I saw this when it first aired, and I actually rolled off my couch from laughing so hard.
Incredible. Outstanding episode really
I like my mermaids with the lady part on top and the lady part on the bottom.
