Futurama Quotes…

I love Futurama. It is perhaps one of the most creative/fun animated shows ever created – the references to pop culture (taken in a future tense) are absolute brilliance.

So it is exciting news that Futurama, is in fact going to be returning with new episodes. As much as I dislike most TV, I give the nod to animated shows.

In celebration, here are some wonderful Futurama quotes from the original running of the series…enjoy:

“Its 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. 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?”
“Crazy theories one, regular theories a billion.”
“But existing is basically all I do!”
“Whoa! Letters like ‘u’ and ‘r’ can mean words like ‘you’ and ‘are’!”

“Boy, who knew a cooler could also make a handy wang coffin?”
“I’m Bender, baby, please insert liquor!”
“They’re not very heavy, but you don’t hear me not complaning.”
“You may need to metaphorically make a deal with the devil. By ‘devil’ I mean robot devil and by ‘metaphorically’ I mean get your coat.”
“Congratulations Fry, you’ve snagged the perfect girlfriend. Amy’s rich, she’s probably got other characteristics…”

“Am I going crazy? Have my years of wild hedonism finally caught up with me?”
“I’ll find Fry’s coffin, get his corpse, and keep it under my mattress to remind me that he’s really dead. That’ll prove I’m not insane!”
“This is Fry’s decision. And he made it wrong, so it’s time for us to interfere in his life.”
“Please don’t stop playing, Fry. I wanna hear how it ends.”
