Besides Fry, who is your favorite? I think Dr. Zoidberg is hilarious. I just watched the episode where the guy from the 80's became CEO of the Planet Express company (where they all work) and Zoidberg sold all his shares of stock for a sandwich, that was hilarious. The episode where they crashed in the 1940's and Zoidberg was the alien captured in Roswell was also great. They were performing an autopsy, but Zoidberg was still alive and they are looking at his stomach contents and they are like "One potato chip" and set it aside, and Zoidberg is like "Ohhh a potato chip!" and eats it and the doctors are like "The same potato chip" as they take it out of his stomach again. I hope fox decides to keep the show and keep making episodes for it. It's great.


EDIT: Due to an overwhelming response, excluding Bender as well. I want to know about the non-major characters. Zoidberg, Professor, Leela, Kif, Brannigan, etc...

I like bender, especially when he screws everyone over and acts like its their fault.

Bender is definitely my favorite, even over Fry.

I doubt we will see much more of Futurama, however. The execs at Fox don't like the show (hence the crap time slot it has always had), mainly because Groening used it as a platform to speak out against the execs at Fox that he felt were meddling with the Simpsons. At least, that's what the first season or so was about.

The Professor, I love it how he always says good news everyone, and then tells them something bad that is going to happen ie: Today you will be making a delivery to ... the ... planet. (insert a name of a planet for the first set of dots, then something like cannibal for the second set). SOme of the stuff he says is hilarious, but Bender and Fry are definately the best. Oh and its Professor Hubert J. Farnsworth or something like that right?

Remember the buggalo episode where Zoidberg acted like Amy's parent's son. He kept acting like their child and such. That was great.

<< Dr. Zoidberg has some of the best lines :) >>




Zoidberg: This letter has to be very personal, so I'm writing it in my own ink.

Zoidberg: Uncle Zoid, you're looking young enough to be thrown back!

Bender (as a human): <throwing up>
Zoidberg: Hooray, it's just like Mardi Gras.

Professor: What do you nice kids want?
Zoidberg: Nothing. I'm leaving! But if you had extra courage I'd haul it away for you, maybe.
Professor: Oh blithery poop, my cowardly lobster. You don't need courage. After all, who needs courage when you have a gun?

Zoidberg: Are you coming on to me?
President Truman: Hot crackers! I take exception to that!
Zoidberg: I didn't hear a no.

Zoidberg (gravely): I'm afraid that the tests are positive; you're suffering from a terrible case of shell rot. I vould prescribe a topical cream, but for some reason the medical board von't let me do that anymore

I will vote for Bender anyway and if you don't like it you can bite my shiny metal ass.
