Cleverest Joke?

Gazereths · Cleverest Joke?

What joke in futurama do you think is the smartest?

Ive got a few but i would like to hear what you lot think....

Ace

Elzar is a one big parody. Hes made of directly out of an american TV chef. Ellan or something. This is not the best gag. Just one in a million.

Gazereths

when kiff says to amy "3 million lines of basic" that is quite clever...i suppose not really funny tho.

Ace

I didnt get that.

Gazereths

Basic is a computer proramming language...so it took kiff 3 million lines to programme in that horse.!!

I've always thought the visual gags were pretty clever. I love looking in the background for odd things or visual references to pop culture. And I agree with Ace, Elzar being based on Emeril Lagasse is pretty funny, although I don't think Emeril would ever be quite as caustic.

Oh! I just thought of a good joke...not so sure how "clever" it would really be, but when Fry cashes out his bank account and gets his own 20th-century apartment, Leela refers to his music (at that point, "Baby Got Back" by Sir Mix-A-Lot) as "classical." Haha!

Gazereths

yeah..that was funny...."you cant sit in the dark listening to classical music all day" "i could if you hadn't turned on the lights and switched the stereo off"

Gazereths

If you like the visual gags then this one must be one of the smartest.

Klein's beer...a Klein bottle is a geometrical shape that has no inside or outside surface...it is all one surface. If that makes sense. Look here for a proper explanation...: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Klein_bottle

Niiiiiice. That is freaking hilarious! I remember hearing something about Klein bottles once, maybe on Star Trek or something. I don't know. Anyway, good one!

Gazereths

Thanks!!! is that rinoa as your avatar?

"don't shoot fire stick in space canoe....cause explosive decompression".....LOL

Meh, I don't know who it is...I was just looking for one that resembled me even slightly. This was the closest I could find.

Gazereths

oh...i think its a character off one of the final fantasy games.

Ive never heard of the person elzar is based on!!...

I suppose zapp could be in the same catagory..he's based on william shatner.

Emeril Lagasse is a famous chef here in the States. He has a couple cooking shows on TV and he's really funny to watch--he says "BAM!" all the time, makes funny little sound effects for stuff and seems like he has a pretty good sense of humor.

Zapp Brannigan cracks me up!! He was on one of last night's eps and I couldn't stop laughing every time I saw him. Billy West really did a fantastic job with that character (as he does with all the others he plays...wow...what a talented guy!).

Aw...now I'm sad...there's no Futurama on Friday nights here! I really want to watch it! Dang!

Gazereths

Theres a few to watch in the "watch futurama" section...i think they're still there.

Thanks for the info..."BAM" hahaha...the zapper is funny as hell!!!

wwwwNAMEwwww

now that i understand the klein's beer joke, i think it is by far.

Gazereths

There must be some ive missed..i will keep my eyes peeled and tell you when i find 'em.

Pariah

I always like the words at the bottom of Futurama when it starts sometimes there a funny sayings.

icansurf

Cloverfield

We don't have a listing of them, but i am sure we can get some for you.

Gazereths

Its sorted now!!!

Here's another one I liked--in the ep "Why Must I Be a Crustacean in Love?" the group goes to the gym. As they walk through you see people on the different machines, and there's one lady on a machine called the "Kegelcizer." Oh, that made me laugh hard. Hehehe!

i don't particularly like the taglines, a lot of them make little sense. However, the funnier ones, are, erm....... funny?
