My daughter got into a small degree of trouble once and to break the tension, the dad lecturing and threat of grounding, etc., she said this to me. Immediately won the battle, all was forgiven, and I knew I would forever be in trouble when it came to her.
Someone on Reddit once reported my comment for depictions of child abuse when I responded to their dumb ass comment with this quote and a link to a video of it.
Almost any other episodes, this one would have a chance
But it's going up against one of the most iconic lines of the show, nay, of that entire generation of global entertainment
Leela: As unclean as it makes me feel, I agree with Bender. Kids don't turn rotten just from watching TV.
Fry: Yeah! Give a little credit to our public schools!
Use this line frequently but normally only with people who haven't heard it before. At first they're horrified, then they laugh, then they're horrified again.
Bender: Bandidos, eh? Aw, this is great! 'Cause I happen to have a flawless Spanish accent! I will see. Adios Padre! Come, Jesus, my faithful ... chee-huey-hua. Tonight we eat ... gee-wack-a-mole by the El Rio!
Calculon: That was so terrible I think you gave me cancer!
"Have you ever tried simply turning off the TV, sitting down with your children, and hitting them?"
But we're just so busy.
Make time!
This is the one
Absolutely. Game over. This is a really quotable episode, but this might be the best line in the entire series
Every one of these posts there's someone saying that
Foxarama was the best
I thought it was ~~Futurella~~ ***[CANCELLED]***
Futurella had so much potential, shame all of the big wigs aren’t familiar with the term “sleeper hit”
"Wow, Fox has really streamlined the process."
We’re done here, this is the quote
I actually said this one to my sister after she complained about my nephew watching too much TV. She was not amused, still worth it.
Uncultured swine
I say this line all the time.
Any other comment winning means it's rigged.
One of the easiest choices in this whole series
If this wasn’t the top comment I’d riot
This is a top 10 quote from the whole series
I have a kid and I love this one so much.
Is there really another option? Should have just skipped this round. EDIT: Honestly, there should be another round for second-best line.
In Spanish from Spain localization, it says beat them up, "darles una paliza" and for me makes the quote 10 times better.
I use this quote regularly in life.
Why did I even open this thread... we all knew this was gonna be at the top
I've been quoting this line for ten years, is it not beating them?
My daughter got into a small degree of trouble once and to break the tension, the dad lecturing and threat of grounding, etc., she said this to me. Immediately won the battle, all was forgiven, and I knew I would forever be in trouble when it came to her.
This is it
I knew immediately this would be at the top!
Someone on Reddit once reported my comment for depictions of child abuse when I responded to their dumb ass comment with this quote and a link to a video of it.
This is the only correct answer.
This is the one and only Quote worth knowing from this episode. This the winner OP. Close up shop
This might be my favorite quote of the series
You raised my hopes and dashed them quite expertly, sir. Bravo!
I use this all the time. I think I still have to go with the "turning off the TV and hitting them" line, but this gets my most use
This line lives in my head.
Almost any other episodes, this one would have a chance But it's going up against one of the most iconic lines of the show, nay, of that entire generation of global entertainment
I love Tiny Tim
*tinny Tim
This should really be higher
Happy Cake Day
Oh wow thanks. I didn’t even know. Now it’s almost over
Used very regularly in my friend group.
This definitely deserves an honorable mention at the very least.
Casting Director [to Bender]: Have you ever been on TV before? Bender: Once, when I took those hostages. Calculon: I saw that! You were good.
Leela: As unclean as it makes me feel, I agree with Bender. Kids don't turn rotten just from watching TV. Fry: Yeah! Give a little credit to our public schools!
“That was so terrible I think you gave me cancer!”
Easily one of the best Calculon lines, and a fantastic everyday quote too.
Use this line frequently but normally only with people who haven't heard it before. At first they're horrified, then they laugh, then they're horrified again.
You’re watching Futurama, the show that does not advocate the cool crime of robbery
I’m sorry father, but somewhere along the way I forgot how to be your son. Why, Antonio? Because…. I have *amnesia*!
Before I kill you, I must ask you one question. Who am I? For I have... *amnesia*!
Let me get this straight. Does anyone here *not* have amnesia?
Mine's louder!
When I grow up, I'm going to have so much amnesia!
It's funny, but will it get them off their tractors?
It will play in Peoria.
*Game shows are back*
My in-laws play a lot of dice games. They do not laugh when I roll the dice and say this line. I mean they haven’t yet, I’m going to keep doing it.
Actually, they weren't my in-laws, they just lived next door never closed their curtains.
Bender: Bandidos, eh? Aw, this is great! 'Cause I happen to have a flawless Spanish accent! I will see. Adios Padre! Come, Jesus, my faithful ... chee-huey-hua. Tonight we eat ... gee-wack-a-mole by the El Rio! Calculon: That was so terrible I think you gave me cancer!
Calculon! But I thought you were-- Egyptian?
I know it's not gonna win, but this one's my favorite. That whole calculon segment was top notch
And for what? Some kind of cheap laugh? That's not what F-A-R-T is all about. No, sir! Not us FARTers.
I once put a laugh-track on a sitcom that had no jokes in it!
Yes, we've all seen big bang theory
I thought that was Two and a Half Men
Did Futurama predict Chuck Lorre?
I'm not familiar with the type of thing I'm seeing.
I say this all the time.
As an electrician....I use this every time I see something egregiously wrong
*(Hermes wipes Professor's glasses)*
I wish we had that bender. They say he’s the greatest
Look who's here, everyone! It's Zoidberg, the lovable tramp!
zoidberg is the best lol
Explosive amnesia
Gentle jerkwads, I know how to emulate Bender without barfing. We could commit a burglary!
TV gave us the idea!
This is one I get so much mileage out of in day to day life
I’m paraphrasing but “Hey why didn’t anyone show up?” “Well it’s not becusse you two are complete losers. Who gave you that idea?”
Try this, kids at home!
(Do not try this, kids at home.)
Cut! That was the worst coma acting I’ve ever seen!
Welcome swingers! Pull up a groove and get fabulous..
Calculon? But I thought you were-- Egyptian?!
Amateurs like you do two takes. I do one take. Print it. I'll be in my three storey trailer
this one got me lol calculon is such a funny character
“Have you ever tried simply turning off the TV, sitting down with your children, and hitting them?”
"I've gone too far, who does that guy think I am?!"
Splice in some reaction shots of me and shove it on the air
Does anyone here not have amnesia? *crowd murmuring* and some random guy can be heard saying “I don’t know”
Director! Give me motivation! You’re angry. PERFECT!
Bender, on TV: “Woo, try this kids at home!” Disclaimer, on TV: “Don’t try this kids at home”
"That's not true! We still have the option of resorting to violence!"
Quiet, robot! Bender’s on tv!
Now *that's* hospital dancing!
“Bite my shiny metal ass”
GAMESHOWS ARE BACK
IT WILL PLAY IN PEORIA!
Down with Bender! Down with Bender! Down with...
.... BENDER! DOWN WITH BENDER! DOWN WITH BENDER!
I like when he calls some Rich Guy “Snooty”. I live in Vail Colorado but am far from rich and have wanted to bust that one out for a long time.
"At this network, we love filth. Filthy RICH that is. BEING filthy rich that is."
"Have you ever tried turning off the TV, and sitting down with your kids, and beating them?"
oh crumb
That's not a cigar! ...and it's not mine! *Pockets it*
