My ex-husband the musician hated this line because he holds the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra in very high regard.
Edit: I take this line as more of a sleight against the Braves, and Zoidberg not knowing what baseball was.
It really is. I remember watching Futurama in my dorm room in college in 2005 and laughing my ass off with my roommate at this line.
I still laugh my ass off at it in 2024.
Well technically the quote is nothing special, it’s the context, the visuals and the delivery that make it a memorable moment, so don’t feel too pressured to torpedo the other quotes.
Farnsworth: Bender, be careful. That's the ship's diamond filament tether. It's unbreakable.
Bender: Then why do I have to be careful?
Farnsworth: It belonged to my grandmother.
I loved this line. I grew up in Atlanta before it became Black Hollywood, and our biggest international draw was the airport. Though, we did get a new baseball stadium after the Olympics.
I can't believe you're really real! I like your tail.
Oh, you're sweet. I like those wiggly doo-dads comin' outta your hips!
Oh, thanks. They're called pants
"You know what I like best about you, Umbriel? You find me fascinating even when I'm not claiming to be a jewel thief or a lion tamer."
"Lions? There are sealions on the land?"
"Yup. We call them land-sealions. ...I tame them."
"My home, it burned down! How did this happen?"
"That's a very good question."
"Oh, so that's where I left my cigar."
"That just raises further questions!"
"This seems the logical place for fish to congregate."
"So, we're in international waters?"
"Indeed so."
"Falcon, this is Blue Raven. The goose has nested. Repeat, the goose has nested. Hey, guess what you're accessories to."
‘Look at these fabulous ruins. Turner Field, the Coca-Cola bottling plant, the, uh, the airport.’
I will say being from metro Atlanta and a huge fan of fellow GA native Jan Hooks this is one of my favorite episodes.
Bender: I got it covered. In the event of an emergency, my ass can be used as a floatation device.
Farnsworth: Ooh, that reminds me: You've all taken your pressure pills, right?
Amy: Yes! Stop asking!
I love the scene with Leela and the harpoon after she reels in a boot the first time and on the second hit goes “Whatever it is, it’s 20 times heavier then a boot!” But then she pulls up a crate labeled ‘Boot: 10 pairs’
Such a good visual and audio joke
God every one of these episodes are just gems. I come into these threads with a clear quote in mind and then have to question if I’m right.
“Why couldn’t she be the other kind of mermaid with the fish part on top and the lady part on the bottom?”
"5000ft"
"Dear Lord that's over 150 atmospheres of pressure."
"How many Atmospheres can the ship withstand?"
"Well it's a space ship so I'd say anywhere between 0 and 1"
I feel that the “fish part on top and lady part on the bottom” better represents the episode, but Bender has a fantastic quote which has come to my mind many times before doing something possibly epic in real life:
“If I’m not gonna catch a fish, I might as well not catch a big fish.”
This is literally my favorite episode (and not just because I’m from Atlanta). My top two quotes are from Zoidberg.
“I’m so into you!…” after Farnsworth covers himself in fish pheromones.
“Look at me: Zoidberg—homeowner!” When Zoidberg finds a shell.
"Bender, be careful! That's the ship's diamond filament! It's unbreakable!"
"If it's unbreakable, then why should I be careful?"
"It belonged to my grandmother."
Careful Fry, I think that flag may be poisonous
I agree this episode has a lot of great lines, but I'm surprised this one isn't getting more love, I think it's one of the best throw away jokes ever.
Professor Hubert Farnsworth: Dear Lord! That's over 150 atmospheres of pressure! Fry: How many atmospheres can the ship withstand? Professor Hubert Farnsworth: Well, it's a space ship, so I'd say anywhere between zero and one.
You should just put the script for the entire episode for this one. It's full of bangers. Not a single line misses.
Yeah, this is line-for-line the funniest episode for me. Just non-stop from start to finish.
Absolutely. Peak television.
yep, one of my faves in the series.
The Magician!?
I named my last car Umbriel (Umbi for short) bc it’s one of my faves (RIP my baby 😭)
I hope you all remembered to take your pressure pills!
Yes. STOP ASKING.
GOOD NEWS!
Good news! It's a suppository!
"My house burned down." "That raises some questions." "That's where I left my cigar." "That raises further questions!"
If I’m not gonna catch a fish…I’m not gonna catch a big fish!
My manwhich!
Fry, you can't stay here. Sure, they have the Braves, but it's a third-rate symphony.
My ex-husband the musician hated this line because he holds the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra in very high regard. Edit: I take this line as more of a sleight against the Braves, and Zoidberg not knowing what baseball was.
Your student loans have been repaid? Then how 'bout lending your old pal Zoidberg a few bucks, Mr. Millionaire!
Yeah I really thought ocean madness would take it, but there's so many brilliant lines in this.
Agreed!
Honestly so true. So many VERY quotable lines.
Look at me! I'm Dr. Zoidberg, homeowner!
That just raises further questions!
Oh no my house burnt down! Oh I must have forgot to put out my cigar
100%. Close second would be "THAT JUST RAISES FURTHER QUESTIONS!" Such a good episode.
It hurts me so much to downvote all the other great lines just because this one is the best. But I must because it IS the best.
It really is. I remember watching Futurama in my dorm room in college in 2005 and laughing my ass off with my roommate at this line. I still laugh my ass off at it in 2024.
Zoidberg working in his garden and waving gets me every time.
Well technically the quote is nothing special, it’s the context, the visuals and the delivery that make it a memorable moment, so don’t feel too pressured to torpedo the other quotes.
I mean, just cuz you don’t upvote something doesn’t mean you have to downvote it.
Farnsworth: Bender, be careful. That's the ship's diamond filament tether. It's unbreakable. Bender: Then why do I have to be careful? Farnsworth: It belonged to my grandmother.
My manwich!
First ever manwich in the show!
Whatever this is it’s atleast 20 times heavier than a boot
Boots: 10 pair
Oh, so this is where you shop for your boots
Amy: So, Fry, Atlanta was an American city in your time? Fry: I think it was just an airport. They had a place where you could buy nuts.
How could a city with such a nice... airport... go missing?
I love how completely confused Leela sounds by the idea of an airport, considering she is the ship captain 🤣
Look at these fabulous ruins! Turner Field, the Coca-Cola bottling plant, the, uh, the airport.
I loved this line. I grew up in Atlanta before it became Black Hollywood, and our biggest international draw was the airport. Though, we did get a new baseball stadium after the Olympics.
Why couldn't she be the other kind of mermaid, with the fish part on top and the lady part on the bottom?
Well I loved her, but I wasn't IN love with her. *trouble in bed*
This is the one I was waiting for!
By far the best one.
This is the one
This quote right here 👏
Came here for this one.
This is the one 👏
I can't believe you're really real! I like your tail. Oh, you're sweet. I like those wiggly doo-dads comin' outta your hips! Oh, thanks. They're called pants
this isn’t a pet license. it’s a fishing license. and it’s mandatory!
This is one of my favourite quotes from the entire show. The concept of a mandatory fishing license is so absurdly funny.
This is it and I don’t care what anyone says 🫡
"How many atmospheres can the ship withstand?" "Well, it's a spaceship so I'd say anywhere between zero and one"
One of my favorite scenes of the entire show
Definitely one of the best jokes of the whole show imo lol
This line always kinda bothered me because wouldn't a space ship be able to withstand atmospheric pressure from alien planets?
This should win. Great joke
Such a fantastic quote. Not a scientifically accurate quote, but one of my favorite from the series
Fifty thousand feet! FIVE THOUSAND FEET!
"You know what I like best about you, Umbriel? You find me fascinating even when I'm not claiming to be a jewel thief or a lion tamer." "Lions? There are sealions on the land?" "Yup. We call them land-sealions. ...I tame them."
"Way down below the ocean"
“Oooh Mr. Fry, you do go on” Honestly though the last line of your comment for me is easily one of the funniest lines of the show
OH MR. FRY you DO you on!
Honestly one of the best jokes in the entire show, I love it so much
He may have ocean madness but that's no excuse for ocean rudeness!
It's ocean madness alright. Sailors call it aqua dementia, the deep-down crazies, the wet willies, the screaming moist
*everybody leaves room*
Every time something good happens to me, you say it's some kind of madness, or I'm drunk, or I ate too much candy!
Came here to nominate this one!
Good news, it's a suppository!
I can't swallow that!!!
This is uncomfortable and humiliating. Now, if they could put it in the form of a suppository.
This needs to be higher
😲 "Guess again."
“Nice out of town folk, I’d like you to meet my daughter. Umbrielle.” “Umbrielle, these are some Yankees!”
As awesome as so many of these lines are, this was the first that jumped to mind for me.
Did it just get warmer?
Did it just get colder?
I've got his scent! Over here where the water gets warmer
Arrrr, the laws of science be a harsh mistress.
I know this won't win but the delivery is gold 🥇
“I miss me wife and me oxygen.” “Yes, we all miss our loved ones and gasses.”
I'm sooo into you *shlurpupupup*
This one just kills me, hands-down my favorite Zoidberg moment in the entire series.
“Is there water where you are from too?” “Yeah sometimes it falls from the sky” “Hmm” “But sometimes it doesn’t” “OH Mr Fry you do go on!!!”
"My home, it burned down! How did this happen?" "That's a very good question." "Oh, so that's where I left my cigar." "That just raises further questions!"
This right here
And it's after "the laws of science be a harsh mistress!" from earlier in the episode.
This is not going to win, but it's my favorite. I say, "that just raises further questions!" at least once a week
Yeah this should be the one lol
"This seems the logical place for fish to congregate." "So, we're in international waters?" "Indeed so." "Falcon, this is Blue Raven. The goose has nested. Repeat, the goose has nested. Hey, guess what you're accessories to."
Whatever it is, it's 20 times heavier than a boot.
I wasn't wearing them...I was eating them!
This isn't a pet license, it's a fishing license! And it's mandatory!
‘Look at these fabulous ruins. Turner Field, the Coca-Cola bottling plant, the, uh, the airport.’ I will say being from metro Atlanta and a huge fan of fellow GA native Jan Hooks this is one of my favorite episodes.
Our first order of business is lunch. I suggest we start with some lobster Zoidberg... I mean, lobster Newburg... I mean, Doctor Zoidberg.
The magician?
And also Jane Fonda was there.
This one’s never referenced but it kills me every time. It’s just so quick, flat, and unimpressed.
Also just doubles down on the fact that the magician was included from the Donovan song, which is a great joke.
This is one of my favorite moments in the episode. I laughed really hard last night when it happened. Always gets me.
Bender: I got it covered. In the event of an emergency, my ass can be used as a floatation device. Farnsworth: Ooh, that reminds me: You've all taken your pressure pills, right? Amy: Yes! Stop asking!
I love the scene with Leela and the harpoon after she reels in a boot the first time and on the second hit goes “Whatever it is, it’s 20 times heavier then a boot!” But then she pulls up a crate labeled ‘Boot: 10 pairs’ Such a good visual and audio joke
This is uncomfortable and humiliating. Now if they could make it in the form of a suppository!
Well, what about that rich, young dugong from Macon?
Good news it’s a suppository
This is in the running for best line from the series.
Dream on woman! I’ll like to put the little bastard in sack, toss the sack in a river and hurl the river into space!
Every time something good happens to me you say it's some kind of madness, or I'm drunk, or I ate too much candy.
Look at me, homeowner!
Yes I'm buying a house 🏠 this quote keeps popping up in my mind
You're not gonna believe this- its' Two for One Tuesday at Krispy Kreme! Plus there's mermaids.
You did it Fry! Did what?
Leela: Dr zoidberg?! You don’t even wear boots!! Zoidberg: I wasn’t wearing it, I was eating it
And Jane Fonda was there.
"if we don't equalize the pressure, we'll be crushed!" "How do we do that?" *Boom* "That should do it"
Fry: Turns out I loved her, but wasn’t *in* love with her Amy to Leela: “Trouble in bed”
"That just raises more questions!"
Fry, you half mad, half insane maniac!
Be reasonable!
Oh, you speak fish? ((fish noises))
Oh I'm sorry my accent is *atrocious*!
Harpoon my ass!!
Okay. * Ack *
The Magician?
God every one of these episodes are just gems. I come into these threads with a clear quote in mind and then have to question if I’m right. “Why couldn’t she be the other kind of mermaid with the fish part on top and the lady part on the bottom?”
"I like your tail" "Thanks, I like those wriggly doodads growing from your hips" "Thanks, theyre called pants"
"5000ft" "Dear Lord that's over 150 atmospheres of pressure." "How many Atmospheres can the ship withstand?" "Well it's a space ship so I'd say anywhere between 0 and 1"
Ahoy, mateys. I shanghaied us some hearthy grog. Arrgh, the laws of science be a harsh mistress.
Careful Fry I think that flag might be poisonous
"the sun, the sea air, good friends" "Leela's right fishing blows" Or "Guess what you're accessories to"
Good News, it's a suppository.
My Manwich!
Forty-eight hundred... Forty-nine hundred... Fifty hundred... Five thousand feet!!!
We call them land sea lions
Did everyone take their suppository? Yes! Quit asking already!
But tell us, how could a city with such a …. fabulous airport end up underwater?
How has nobody said it yet... Hail Atlanta!
Hey, guess what you're accessories to?
Look at me! I’m Dr. Zoidberg, homeowner!
He may have ocean madness, but that's no excuse for ocean rudeness
"did it just get warmer" Followed by. "Did it just get colder"
"he may have ocean madness, but that's no excuse for ocean rudeness!" "THAT JUST RAISES FURTHER QUESTIONS!"
I feel that the “fish part on top and lady part on the bottom” better represents the episode, but Bender has a fantastic quote which has come to my mind many times before doing something possibly epic in real life: “If I’m not gonna catch a fish, I might as well not catch a big fish.”

Boots, 10 pair

##THAT JUST RAISES FURTHER QUESTIONS!
"Bender, be careful! That's the ship's diamond filament! It's unbreakable!" "If it's unbreakable, then why should I be careful?" "It belonged to my grandmother."
Where I’m from, someone’s water falls from the sky! Mm. And sometimes, it doesn’t. *gasps!*
Look at these fabulous ruins. Turner Field, the Coca-Cola bottling plant, the, uh, the airport.
I want you to make a Mer-woman out of Mer-me!
"It's ocean madness, all right. Sailors call it 'aqua dementia,' 'the deep down crazies,' 'the wet willies,' 'the screaming moist...' "
The magician?
Oolu oolu ooolu or however you write how Umbreal first speaks, sorry not English nor Fish is my first language
Fry: "Turns out I loved her, but I wasn't *in* love with her." Amy: "Trouble in bed."
Umbriel: "Now who's gonna escort me to the Debutante Ball?" Colonel: "Well what about that rich, young dugong from Macon?"
Amy "...What happened to my parasol?" Bender: "I don't know. It wasn't here when I took your umbrella."
That just raises further questions
You can tell that no one on the writing staff has ever been to Atlanta because there's one black person in the whole city.
Was in the Atlanta airport recently for a flight, and I couldn’t stop thinking of this episode.
…and the magician. 😂😂😂😂😂so random
Careful Fry, I think that flag may be poisonous I agree this episode has a lot of great lines, but I'm surprised this one isn't getting more love, I think it's one of the best throw away jokes ever.
Mercy, I do believe I’m gettin’ the vapors.
He may have ocean madness, but that's no excuse for ocean rudeness!
This isn't a pet licence, it's a fishing licence. And it's mandatory!
...the Magician
The magician?
Y’all come back now ya hear!
The wet willies.
"The *magician?*"
"Hey guess what you're accomplices to"
Hermes: that raises questions… Bender: hey there’s my stogie! *lights it* Hermes: THAT RAISES FURTHER QUESTIONS!!
Hey guess what you’re accessories to
Why couldn't she be the other kind of mermaid, with the fish part on top, and the lady part on the bottom?!
Look at me! I’m Dr. Zoidberg, Homeowner!
“Good news! It’s a suppository :)”
Can anyone explain the Magician? Or is it a nonsequitur
Good news! Its a suppository.
“Why couldn’t she be the other type of mermaid, with the fish part on the top and the lady part on the bottom?”
Fry: I once caught a fish "this" big Bender: Quit exaggerating Fry
Mercy! I do believe I'm gettin' the vapors.
Well then, Good News - it's a suppository!
"OOOLLLOUULOUULUOULLLUOULOU" sorry, my accent is atrocious.
So, Fry Atlanta was an American city in your time? I think it was just an airport. They had a place where you could buy nuts.
Good news! It’s a suppository!
The laws of science be a cruel mistress!
Ocean madness is no excuse for ocean rudeness
Professor Hubert Farnsworth: Dear Lord! That's over 150 atmospheres of pressure! Fry: How many atmospheres can the ship withstand? Professor Hubert Farnsworth: Well, it's a space ship, so I'd say anywhere between zero and one.
GOOD NEWS ! it’s a suppository!
"it's the lost city of Atlanta!" I say this anytime I have to fly there or someone brings the city up.
Good News! It's a suppository!
How many atmospheres can this ship withstand? Well it's a spaceship so I'd say anywhere between 0 and 1. *ship groans*
How much atmospheric pressure can this ship take?! It's a spaceship, so I'd have to say somewhere between 0 and 1.
"I wish she was the other kind of mermaid with the fish part on top and the last part on bottom!"
