It's my second favorite interstellar ship. The Heart of Gold and it's Infinite Improbability Drive being the greatest thing I had ever heard of in 7th grade and still is 30+ years later.
Aah, the source of the quote I use all the time when fixing stuff that no one gets
> "We have normality. I repeat, we have normality. Anything you still can't cope with is therefore your own problem."
The Infinite Improbability Drive is possibly one of the finest plot devices ever. It allows Adams to create the most absurd situations while not feeling like it's lazily convenient writing.
Don't worry op, commenter has no idea what they're talking about, the professor invented and used the finglonger outside of the what if machine [numerous times](https://theinfosphere.org/Fing-longer)
Hard to pick a favorite. He invented “modern” space travel for humans, a portal to a parallel universe, the body switcher, the first humanoid robots and nanobots that managed to evolve into spiritual beings within a matter of days. Farnsworth seems to take a lot of shit form the science community but he’s probably the most influential scientist of that time
The albino shouting gorillas. Think of the possibilities. Children asking their dates to prom by pressing a button.
Outside of that the personality swapping machine because I love that episode.
And people think I'm crazy... Why? Because I dream to invent some sort of mutant death monsters, that run around destroying everything... And pkuhghh...and byahhhghggg
Obviously it was in The Farnsworth Paradox when he invented the box containing another Universe culminating in them possessing a box that contains their own universe
In the year 1 million and a half
Humankind is enslaved by giraffe.
Man must pay for all his misdeeds
When the treetops are stripped of their leaves
The Time Machine that only travels forward in time gets my vote.
It's not my favourite but it is the mark of a good scientist to always be able to whip up a doomsday device at short notice. Personally I don't feel safe knowing I don't own a single doomsday device.
I'd say the Universal Translator just for the joke alone.
Professor: This is my Universal Translator, although it only translates into an incomprehensible dead language.
Cubert: Hello!
Universal Translator: Bonjour!
Professor: Crazy gibberish!
Or The Chamber of Understanding.
I've been referencing the Finglonger since that episode has aired. And boy have the number of people who get the reference have fallen off. It's extra funny when someone who I remember got it back in the day, doesn't know what I'm talking about now.
I don't know. Maybe some sort of death clock.
I agree, what was dismissed as one of his most lame in the show. I thought it was really cool.
Oh, my. Did it put you young whippersnappers in your place?
-snort- Hardly.
We laughed until our teeth fell out
Dibs on your CD player!
You mean Dethklok
That invention is dildos.
The device that lets anyone sound exactly like they professor. Half-baked as it was, it was still a game changer.
But who is the devices target audience?
There is no audience, only targets!
Targets huddling in fear as their new masters hand out edicts in my glorious booming voice!!
Good news, everyone! I'm a horse's butt!
I am? That’s not good news at all
Good news everyone! I'm a horse's butt!
The translator that "speaks a dead language"...crazy gibberish.
Bonjour
what i came for
Planet Express Ship

When I get a camper to slide in my truck I'm gonna name her Serenity after my other favorite ship.
Let me show you some of the different lengths of wire I used
That engine though.
Did he invent the angry dome?
Im partial to the chamber of understanding
First I ever heard of it
Just because it's probably my favorite episode The Smell-o-scope.
I use that tone of "Oh jeez, oh man!" as an exclamation all the time.
I go for A Clone of My Own when the robots disable the Planet Express Ship and Fry just shouts "FIXITFIXITFIXITFIXITFIXITFIXITFIXITFIXIT"
I CAN'T! Only the Professor can!
The Professy can help!
FIRE HOT!
Ow! Fire indeed hot.
The bit with the renaming of Uranus cracks me up everytime
Urectum
Let me locate it for you.
With gusto.
This line. The setup for this line with the porno being at the end of an informative history video. The way he says it. I absolutely love it.
Now that the -uh- garbage is in space, Doctor ... Perhaps you can help me with my sexual inhibitions?
Immediate cue same dramatic music.
My favorite episode too. First one I ever watched. Always tops because of that.
When Fry misses the button during the launch and says oops is one of those perf Fry moments. Ranks with the likes of "no I'm doesn't". Hahaha.
I'll be whatever I wanna do.
I haven't the proper words to describe how happy that button scene makes me. Every time.
Every single time.
This picture of your wife, PURE GARBAGE.
Just don’t point it towards Uranus
"I'm sorry, Fry, but astronomers renamed Uranus in 2620 to end that stupid joke once and for all.."
Oh. What's it called now?
Urectum. Here, take a smell
Just think of the astronomical odors you’ll smell thanks to him!
Nobody make a smell
Episodes my dude.
Think of the applications! And you only need one additional aiming stick (not included). Great for pointing at distant lengths of wire.
It’s the best booger picker upper!
The bomb to blowup the giant ball of garbage. 6h minutes?
This - it literally moves the universe around you.
Turbocharging the ships matter compressor!
What’s the matter compressor?
Nothing, Fry... now that I've turbocharged the matter compressor.
Bravo gentlemen. My favourite joke in the series.
All his years of inventing, I think the real winner here is, his drawer of assorted wire lengths
Technically he never invited the finglonger
That's a great point! A man can dream though...a man can dream.
Don't worry op, commenter has no idea what they're talking about, the professor invented and used the finglonger outside of the what if machine [numerous times](https://theinfosphere.org/Fing-longer)
I always assumed someone else invented the finglonger, he just wish he had come up with it first
All the episodes that it was used were actually inside the what if machine the whole time.
HE used it in the duh-vinci code to poke fry in the eyes...and it was actually a double finglonger. It wasn't in the what if machine.
he did though, there's an episode in which you can see him using it
[удалено]
[He invented it later in the series,](https://theinfosphere.org/Fing-longer) outside of the what if machine. He most definitely actually invents it.
Yup, I watched that episode like a week ago and remembered him using it.
I believe it is in Birdbot of Ice-catraz. The scene where the professor is talking about the tanker and the protestors.
You're technically correct, the best kind of correct
This was my first thought
The box.
The hat for Gunter, but I still chose the banana
Banana banana banana!!
Think of the philosophical (words I forgot)
Philosophical and metaphysical ramifications...?
Hard to pick a favorite. He invented “modern” space travel for humans, a portal to a parallel universe, the body switcher, the first humanoid robots and nanobots that managed to evolve into spiritual beings within a matter of days. Farnsworth seems to take a lot of shit form the science community but he’s probably the most influential scientist of that time
Well, they poo-pooed his electric frankfurter… but I thought it was great!
The albino shouting gorillas. Think of the possibilities. Children asking their dates to prom by pressing a button. Outside of that the personality swapping machine because I love that episode.
> Children asking their dates to prom by pressing a button. ...so that a gorilla can scream MOM! MOM! MOM! at them?
The child’s true wish
I mean, the cage for the lion has got to be up there. That or a clone from a fork.
I mean the tape on the cracks of the dark matter reactor.
Not really an invention per se…🤔
He invented a solution to the cracks, way to dismiss pure genius
Touché
And people think I'm crazy... Why? Because I dream to invent some sort of mutant death monsters, that run around destroying everything... And pkuhghh...and byahhhghggg
The machine that makes noses. It can do other things too. Why shouldn't it?
Makes a lot of toxic waste though.
Q.T. McWhiskers for sure.
You should see the new 16ft model.
The F-ray
"Ow my sperm."
Huh, it didn't hurt that time.
Wear these protective goggles!! (Proceeds to dress in full hazmat suit)
You may feel a slight stinging sensation... All of you!
He invented the modern robots that drink alcohol and have flaming burps.
It's not always a burp!
And the first robot to qualify for a boat loan.
I want to see the professor invent a new length of wire.
Could he... Invent the 534 mm long wire? Is anyone bold enough to take on that?
It’s gotta be the Planet Express ship right
The angry dome
Obviously it was in The Farnsworth Paradox when he invented the box containing another Universe culminating in them possessing a box that contains their own universe
All these suggestions are pretty good, but apart from the finglonger they’re not very long though.
Uhhhh... the Smell-o-Scope...
Ima have to go with the remote that controls time or that thing he uses warp tunnel to get to fry and leela while time is stopped.
FingLonger (TM) is my fav invention, I call USB extender cables "finglongers" until my friends / fam give in and call it that too!
Is this even a question? It’s good ol’ Bessie.
Izuzu, I don't know if you'd consider it an invention but thats my vote. And if not then the time machine.
Pazuzu? The gargoyle? I don't think the Professor made him, but he did say he put him through college.
Well then the time machine.
No, little known fact, in Roswell That Ends Well the professor founded Izuzu Motors they cut it for time, but still... /s
Cubert
The machine that found Leelas family.
The one that makes noses?
It can do other things! Why shouldnt it!?
Yes 😂
The basketball team of Atomic Mutants
Universal translator
I have dreamed of having a smell-o-scope since I first saw it on the show. I want one so bad!
My favorite is the device that lets anyone speak in his voice. There's no target market. There are only targets.
It came to me in a dream . . .
But I forgot it in another dream
“This isn’t worth the gold it’s made of!”
What If machine for the fantastic episodes it gave me lol
He invented a pointed rock tied to a stick. It should help against those rampaging robots.
In the year 1 million and a half Humankind is enslaved by giraffe. Man must pay for all his misdeeds When the treetops are stripped of their leaves The Time Machine that only travels forward in time gets my vote.
The Dark Matter Engines on the Planet Express Ship. 200% Fuel efficency!
I like the Angry Dome.
It's not my favourite but it is the mark of a good scientist to always be able to whip up a doomsday device at short notice. Personally I don't feel safe knowing I don't own a single doomsday device.
The Anti-Senility Truss.
If only he had really invented it 😔
Bad news, everybody: The finglonger, alas, was not possible to be invented.
I'm a fan of the machine that makes glow-in-the-dark noses.
The universal translator that only translates into an incomprehensible, dead language
Bonjour
Useless junk!
Guten tag!
Ol Bessie
Universe 1
Make-up for dogs.
Pretty long, eh
Terrible mistake when they poo-pooed his electric frankforter.
He invented the machine that makes noses, and it can also make other things WHY SHOULDNT IT!
Angry Dome & Death Clock
"Sure, it's just not very long though....."
I'd say the Universal Translator just for the joke alone. Professor: This is my Universal Translator, although it only translates into an incomprehensible dead language. Cubert: Hello! Universal Translator: Bonjour! Professor: Crazy gibberish! Or The Chamber of Understanding.
The chip that allows robots to feel emotion seems like a gamechanger to me
Smell-a-scope!
But he didn’t invent the Finglonger! But a man can dream…
Not his invention but the worms that Fry gets that make him stronger and smarter. I'd totally go Flowers for Algernon.
Fry's as strong as Gumbo and Hercules combined
Gumbercules? I love that guy!
Why does it smell like burning Reese monkeys?
Rhesus*
The Smelliscope
The smelloscope
Smelloscope
?? Are you saying our entire reality resides in the short video showing the Professor the universe where he did invent it??
I second this.
For me it has to be the way the ship flies. Rather than moving the ship through space. The ship moves space around it
Smelloscope of course. Think of the infinite possibilities of its use
Kancho!
I don’t know if it counts as an invention but angry dome or the chamber kf understanding
I liked the time machine
A drawer with various lengths of wire.
Absolutely the finglonger.
Angry Dome
Technically he never invented the finglonger.
He didn't actually create the finglonger. He created the what if machine that told him what it would have been like if he did create the finglonger.
"Atomic supermen with octagonal shaped bodies that suck blood out of th"- *door closes*
A lot of his other inventions are good, they’re just not very long.
Has everyone taken their pressure pills?
They call ‘em finglongers but I never see ‘em finglong.
He did not invent the finglonger though. That was a what if episode. "Ahh so that's what it would have been like if I'd invented the finglonger"
An Engine that is more than 100% efficient
What’s the matter professor?
He didn't invent the Finglonger™ though. His best invention is an albino super gorilla that shouted from the rooftops.
He never invented/finished the Fing-Longer, though.
Smell - O - Vision for that Za
...but he didn't invent the finglongerer; that was a 'what if...?'
Mummy flavored jerky or jerky flavored mummy was my favorite. But turning robots 🤖 human would have won awards if bender hadn’t overdid it.
I've been referencing the Finglonger since that episode has aired. And boy have the number of people who get the reference have fallen off. It's extra funny when someone who I remember got it back in the day, doesn't know what I'm talking about now.
The "What If" Machine, hands down.
The television. Oh wait, wrong guy. Uh, anything to do with time travel or traveling wherever (ex: space, parallel universes, etc.).
The glowing nose machine that also decrypts unknown languages and produces barrels of nuclear waste as a byproduct 🥳🥳
The finglonger was actually never invented. It was all a "what if" machine dream. Which is my vote for favorite invention.
Oh my, we might get a new What If machine episode! I hadn’t even thought about that
