I thought the episode with parallel galaxies was histerical. How could you topple a Zoidberg? With two Zoidbergs!!!

"Good news everybody! I have bad news!"

The anthology of interest story where Fry doesn't go to the future, and Gary Gygax rolls dice to decide what to say to Fry. For those not familiar with 1st ed. D&D, there were random tables for EVERYTHING, including a random dungeon generator and a random prostitute table. Most of the prostitute descriptions seemed to be the same, using different words though.

"An eternity with nerds? It's the Pasadena Star Trek convention all over again!"

"I'm not going to the future without a weapon to protect myself"
"Here, take my plus one mace!:

Fry: Do you accept Discover
Clerk: We don't accept Discover.

I nearly died of laughter watching that:laugh:

This is a really random moment, but in one of the earlier episodes they are showing Fry how things have changed and they have a box of "Archduke Chocula" and "Admiral Crunch", for some reason I found that really funny.

Zoidberg to Amy's dad (I think): I hope you don't mind, but I took the liberty of fertilizing your caviar.

Fry: "Is there anything religion can do to help me find my friend?"
Father: "Well, we can join together in prayer."
Fry: "But is there anything useful we can do?"
Father: "No."

I like the Haunted house episode, where Bender's relative leaves him the mansion - on on the condition that he spend the night there.

Bender reads some binary numbers, and he is confused - then he sees their reflection in the mirror and screams!
Also, when the Windows 95 logo chases him down the hall, playing the windows 95 start wave file.

But the show that got me hooked was the one where they discover the Lost city of Atlanta - with the large "pill" that professor farnsworth created so that they could breathe underwater.

Some cast member (Leela?): "How do you swallow that?"
Prof Farnsworth: "You don't! It's a suppository"

Fry decides to leave the crew to marry a mermaid - the two of them get into bed, and they discover the parts don't fit, and that she is going to lay some eggs, and then he can fertilize them. He runs off screaming "Wait for me!" to the crew. Hysterical!

Bender: Wait. You mean people will pay good money for romance? Hmm. I think I have a scheme so deviously clever that I--

[Scene: Courtroom. The judge bangs his gavel.]

Judge: $500 and time served.

Bender: Stupid anti-pimping laws! [He turns to Leela.] Well, pay the man!

When they all become younger by the day and Zoidberg goes through all the stages of his life.

Zoidberg: "Look! I'm a teenage heartrob again!"

When Zoidberg and Fry were fighting in the arena...

Dr. Zoidberg: I want the tactile pleasure in cutting him here...
[points his claw at Fry's neck]
Dr. Zoidberg: ... in the gonads.
Fry: [to crowd] Shhhhhh. Nobody correct him.

What was the haunted mansion episode? I watched them all in order a couple of years ago, but don't remember it.

I think the fact that all of the alien language in the background pictures is completely decodeable into real things is actually quite awesome.

**Spoiler**


Also the fact that you can actually see Nibbler's shadow in the first episode pushing the chair is just a symbol of how great the show is.

also,
when the leaders from Omicron Percion 8 are at the Black tie event, the episode where Fry drinks 100 cups of coffee..
The female is fixing the male's tie, the male goes "Stop it! Stop it! I WILL DESTROY YOU!"

hahahaha good times .

LOL, that's a great one.

"Who are those horrible orange creatures over there?"
"Why, those are the Grunka-Lunkas! They work here in the Slurm factory."
"Tell them I hate them!"

There are so many great quotes, I can't possibly list them all.
