have you ever heard the commentary on that ep?

IIRC, it was close to being cut, since they feared (and probably rightly so) that too few would get it. I agree, its great that it was left in.

I watched that episode with my friend's 12-year old daughter, who is a big fan, and she got it instantly. It may help to be young on that one, it's so off the wall. Which is why I love it.

I just tried to explain it over aim, and its like impossible to put into words exactly why its even a joke.

Re: Futurama: \"Bender\'s Big Score\" + other movies/\"new\" episodes
 

Yeah, you need the inflection.

which episode? I'm drawing a total blank

Re: Futurama: \"Bender\'s Big Score\" + other movies/\"new\" episodes
 

I believe it's the one where bender gets lost in space and the little universe grows on him. Fry goes to some woman (forget) who says some quote like "Have you heard of the sacred order of the Monks of XXXXXX" (who are actively searching the universe for God).

Fry's response "I've not heard of them". (Like - at least that's somehing, right?)

Ya, the ep is called Godfellas. Season 4 I think.

Being a Futurama addict for the past couple of years has made me ashamed that I used to think so highly of Family Guy and the like.

"I am the man with no name, Zap Brannigan."

"Is this some sort of brain scanning device?"
"Some sort, yes. In France, it's called a guilloutine."
"Professor! Can't you examine my brain without removing it?!"
"Yes, easily."

"If only they'd built it with 5001 hulls, when will they learn?"

"Yes, there's no safer occupation than mining. Especially when you're on a snowball whipping through space at a million miles an hour. Whoo whoo whoo whoooo! Safe."

"The less fortunate get all the breaks!"
