Because it's my blog, and screw the naysayers. My three:
1) Announcer: Ladies and gentlemen, it's a QUANTUM FINISH!
Professor: No fair! You changed the outcome by observing it!
2) Morbo: Introducing - Puny human #1, puny human #2, and Morbo's close personal friend, Richard Nixon.
Nixon: Hello Morbo, how's the family?
Morbo: Numerous and belligerent.
3) Professor: "Oooh… A lesson in not changing history from Mr. I'm-my-own-grandpa! Let's get the hell out of here already. Screw history!"
Well, now that you invite it...
ReplyDeleteDid you see the talkback that accompanied the news of a likely direct-to-DVD at aintitcool.com a few weeks ago? It *exploded* with quotes.
I find the entirety of Roswell That Ends Well and Godfellas to be quite quotable. Enough to make it my own, secret ambitions to one day be able to truthfully say:
"Yes, we tore the universe a new space-hole alright!"
and
"This is, by a wide margin, the least likely thing that has ever happened."
From other episodes:
"Jam a bastard in it, you crap!" Mom is gorgeously foul-mouthed, in a sensor-evading way.
Morbo's always good, and Zoidberg has his great moments.
I'm quite fond of any quotes where a character (generally Fry) forgets how to talk: "Hey, there's that guy who you are!" and other such instances of comically contorted language use. (The "Yay! I did it! ... Wait, that's not me!" bit from War is the H Word should also be lumped in to this category)
When I first got the season 1 DVDs, I found Fry's alternate response to the gopher joke oddly hilarious:
Gopher #1: Why did the moon-man put bees in his crater?
Gopher #2: Because he wanted a honey moon. [They and six other gophers laugh.]
Gopher #3: Why does a moon rock taste better then an Earth rock?
Gopher #4: Because it's a little meteor! [The other gophers laugh weakly.]
Gopher #5: I don't get it.
Fry: It's a pun you dumb gophers!
Gopher #3: Geeze, chill out dude!
My brother and I also drove my mother (among others) crazy adapting the...
Fry: "Where's the bathroom?"
Bender: "The what room?"
Fry: "The bathroom"
Bender: "The bath what?"
Fry: "The bathroom"
Bender: "The what what?"
...bit to everyday life. You'd be surprised how hard it can be to string people on long enough to get to the what-what.
Bender: (musically) "I love stealing, I love takin' things"
Bender: Listen to me, Leela. I'm an expert at not caring. The secret is to stop giving a rat's ass about anyone else and to start thinking of the things that you want ... that you deserve ... that the world owes you!
I think I'll stop now before this gets out of control.
My personal fav is the head of Richard Nixon says "I know a place where the constitution does'nt mean squat."
ReplyDeleteYou could at least quote correctly.
ReplyDeleteWhat smells like blue?
ReplyDeleteAll I know is my gut says maybe.
