We apologize. With nice, cheap, words.
Not a single line, but I like his song about being a bureaucrat
That song is also adjacent to one of my most quoted lines from Futurama, from Bureaucrat, Grade 1: “You are technically correct. The very best kind of correct.”
Gorilla of Manila!
Is there any meat this man can’t jerk?!
Professor: Not even Hermes’ famous jerk prunes could dislodge them!
Hermes: I call it Caribbean Drano.
I’m just glad my fat ugly momma isn’t alive to see this day.
The scene where the entire crew is in the airlock and Hermes is standing by the button with everyone begging him to free them.
He kind of thinks about it for a second, shrugs, and goes “mm, ok”.
That’s my favorite line, followed closely by “That just raises further questions” from the manwich episode.
We can’t compete with Mom! Her company is big and evil! Ours is small and neutral!
Switzerland is small and neutral! We’re more like Germany, ambitious and misunderstood!
My manwich!
I’m gonna call the police… right after I flush some things
That’s no cigar! And it’s not mine!
When push comes to shove, you’ve got to do what you love, even if it’s not a good idea.
This is probably in my top 5 episodes. I remind myself of that maxim often when i witness the behaviour of others.
Mine is also from the “Born to be a Bureaucrat” song but it’s the “born to be all obsessive and snotty. I made my friends and relations fill long applications to get into my tenth birthday party” part.
“Dream on, woman! I’d like to put the little bastard in a sack and toss the sack in a river and hurl the river into space.”
Sweet Guinea pig of Winnipeg!
Sweet bongo of the Congo!
“Like my fat mama used to say: if you want a box hurled into the sun, you got to do it yourself.”
Proud of you? You ruined us with sleazy business practices and a complete disregard for human decency.
Of course we’re proud of you!
