Good Futurama names/quotes for my new man cave

Gonna be getting a new house soon. And I’ve luckily scored too rooms for myself. One room would be my bedroom, and the other would hold my computer, Lego, gundams, spare bed etc.

And yes “blackjack and hookers” room would be a great pick. But I’m honestly not feeling that kind of name. Any good alternatives?

Science question: 1:00 What would happen to them if they were to stop the forward time machine?

1:00 After everything is dead and gone (down to the very last proton)what would happen to them if they were to just stop the machine? Would they just drift in the nothing? Would they instantly die? Would the blackness crush them?

Because if anybody knows the answer to this question it's Futurama fans.

"Bossy to Stinky. Come in, Stinky."

Zoidberg: I always come in stinky!

is such a simple and silly joke, but it always makes me giggle.

Second contender is from the same spisode:

Zoidberg: Roger, Stinky over.

Professor: Whoof! I beg to differ.

Unpopular opinion: it’s time to recast some actors

Look I have the highest respect for Billy West and was always angry in the past when there were considerations to replace him.

But looking back at the last season, especially Fry sounds slightly different and I feel it will just get worse until a point where Billy anyway cannot continue anymore.

So I think it would be best to start thinking about recasting voices. I don’t say Billy should step down completely, since he still could voice Farnsworth and other characters, but perhaps for Fry they can start to search for a sound alike. I was skeptical also when they recasted Rick and Morty, but the last season showed that if you search for replacements, you can find some, where it’s really hard to tell the difference.

What do you think, do you think we should stick to the same actors as long as possible or already start to search replacements?

I feel like I'm being gaslit into thinking the Hulu run is bad.

So what happens is, I watch the episode and I like it. Then I go online, see everybody hating on it, nitpicking every detail, and tearing everything apart. I get depressed, start to believe these things, and then months later I watch it again and like it even more than the first time. But then the internet people keep telling me it's garbage and not funny, and say it ruins the original show. I mean, I LOVE the new seasons. There are only two episodes I flat-out don't like out of 20.

And am I the only one that DOESN'T care about topical episodes? I mean, yeah, they might be topical right now or slightly outdated, but 10-20 years from now they will just be Futurama episodes, and the topicality won't matter. Just like how a lot of Fox episodes were topical, but people don't realize that if they watch them for the first time today. It sort of becomes just a regular Futurama episode. And the stuff people complain about is trivial.

  • Crypto? It was creatively used to have a Wild West episode.
  • Amazon? I mean, is that even topical? Amazon has been a mainstay in our lives for decades. It also just makes sense for the Futurama world to have it—they actually did similar stuff in the past.
  • Cancel Culture? I mean, it was hardly the same cancel culture we see in our world. Zapp just did something highly inappropriate, and he literally was only suspended and forced to attend sensitivity training. They just called it being canceled.
  • NFTs? Yeah, the first three minutes can be grating and cringe-inducing, but it was literally a setup for Bender going to Mexxxico to learn more about his heritage. And the other half was a fun museum heist that just so happened to be about heisting an NFT, but you could easily swap it out with anything else, and it's just a fun heist.
  • Squid Game? That's not even topical; it's just a parody. They did a Titanic parody like three years after the movie came out, and that was actually WAY more on the nose than this was a Squid Game episode.
  • AI Chatbot? People say it's topical, but do you really think these will ever truly go away? They're going to become another mainstay in our lives. Also, it was a Leela character study that focused on her insecurity about not having any female friends, and I think it was one of the better Leela episodes—really well written.
  • Beanie Babies? I'm actually shocked people keep saying this is an outdated topical episode. It doesn't feel topical at all. It feels like people just want to complain about everything when any little thing reminds them of their life.

Overall, I think the entire run is good. Not great, but good. There are some great episodes and a couple of weak episodes, but I can say that about every season. I do think people are way too harsh on this revival, and this is coming from someone who grew up on both the Fox era and the Comedy Central era. I guess new Futurama is just always bad until 10 years have passed, and then it's "actually, the Hulu run was good."

Did anyone else listen to the Another Lousy Millennium Podcast?

I enjoyed it, but it seems like it ended. I thought they might keep going with the Hulu era. Anyone know anything? Luke? Gabe? Izzy? Any of you on here?

Edit: mistakenly posted this in unexpected Futurama, sorry mods over there

Why bother? I’ve got nothing to live for. I was miserable as a genius, and as a monkey I was so dumb I tried to wear a hat on my butt. There’s just no place for me in this world. Although, on the other hand—

I have gotten completely used to Billy West voice in Hulurama. He sounds pretty good in season 9.

He sounds completely fine and i do not mind his voice whatsoever. It sounds good and his delivery in season 9 is much better than season 8.

The Late Zager & Evans

In a full re-watch and just got to The Late Philip J Fry, and after I had an urge to watch the intro theme from a certain sci-fi show from the early 2000s. But I was too lazy to type 'Cleopatra' into youtube so I just searched for 2525, and came across this gem. Such a perfect song for Futurama to parody. Finding stuff like this just makes my enjoyment of Futurama that much greater, if that were even possible. And makes me wonder what other references in the show I'm missing... anybody got any obscure good ones?
