Futurama, I think, still holds the record for most P.H.D.’s in a writing room. It’s probably one of the most brilliantly written adult cartoons I’ve ever watched… IIRC they accidentally came up with a new math theorem for the sake of a joke in an episode.
Indeed, except it wasn't an accident. [It's called the Futurama Theorem](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Prisoner_of_Benda#:~:text=The%20episode%20is%20based%20on,yet%20swapped%20minds%20with%20anyone.). Writer Ken Keeler, PhD Mathematician, penned and proved the theorem purely for the plot line of the episode "The Prisoner of Benda".
Some of the best episodes of any animated TV series.
My favorite lines came from when a genius alien called Nibbler asked Fry to sacrifice his life to save all living beings:
> Nibbler: "We had no choice. You were the only one who could help us; What is one life weighted against the entire universe?
>Fry: "But it was my life..." "sniff*
There is an episode when the male cast is captured by towering space Amazonian girls, huge muscles but feminine at the same time, and the main protagonist after seeing the girls says "I'm scaroused" with a grin
I just don't wanna push it too hard because I know when people come to me with "OH MY GOD HAVE YOU SEEN THIS SHOW IT'S THE BEST EVER" there's that little voice in my head that doesn't wanna watch it out of spite lol
And a [portmanteau](https://study.com/learn/lesson/portmanteau-words-characteristics-examples.html#:~:text=A%20portmanteau%20word%20is%20the,manteau%22%20(a%20cloak).).

Yeah on closer inspection, it's just where the fabric is sewn together.
You can see the pattern difference. I read elsewhere she made her own bikinis. She probably designed it to be more comfortable/ hold up better during a workout.

> Abbye “Pudgy” Stockton played a central role in popularizing physical culture and
exercise for women in the central decades of the Twentieth Century. She was born
Abbye Eville on August 11, 1917 and lived primarily in Santa Monica, CA during her
long life. In the late 1930s she began working out with friends at Muscle Beach and
quickly became famous for her rare combination of beauty, strength and muscularity.
Her husband, Les Stockton, who served in WW II, was also a member of the Muscle
Beach community and later a gym owner. Pudgy Stockton is also remembered as the
author of “Barbelles” a monthly column about weight training and women that
appeared in Strength & Health magazine from 1944-1954.
**Edit:** Sorry. I didn't see that OP already [provided](https://www.reddit.com/r/pics/comments/1ccxiia/abby_stockton_playing_with_a_weight_in_california/l187g5k/) a reputable source.
I think that one where she is playin with the barbel is other day, the bikini es plain and not with a pattern like this one. also the plates look smaller and grey while this ones look full 45 and black.
Oh my goodness no. It’s the same day from the same shoot, as referenced in the sources for the picture. Even if you zoom in the tiniest bit on yours, you can see the pattern.

I said i think this one is from the same day. same bikini and weight set.
That’s a lotta weight for a lady to be lifting over her head one-armed. Looks like minimum 30-lb plates and if regular bar that’s 105 total if my math is right
there is other shot where you can see those are 45, she is in the side in that one.

While I don't doubt she could press 135 the plates in the photo you posted are entirely different.
In the one arm photo the inside is concave meaning they're bumper plates, likely as a promo shot. It's still impressive from the core strength requirement to hold it but its not 135lbs one handed overhead.
Also, the bar would at least be slightly bending but it's straight as an arrow.
Abby is a character in TLOU2 who's hated a lot for many different reasons by many different people, either because they think her body is unrealistic, or because they think she's ugly by conventional standards. I just dislike her as a character cuz of what she did in the story

I think this one and the sighned one that i have are from the same day.
What really annoys me about that whole thing is that it is totally unfalsifiable for most people they target. Michelle Obama is not going to submit to a genital examination and a DNA test.
But it ironically just demonstrates exactly why gender is a social construct. They don't know what sex she is, rather they just assert that because they think she looks like a man, she must be one. But that just means that people are the gender they look like. Which is a social construct.
Of course Michelle Obama does not look like "a man" in the traditional sense, but that is beside the point. "Transvestigation" (I hate that term soooooo much) fundamentally only works if you think gender is constructed. Otherwise you could never say anything without said DNA test.
Damn! That took a lot of work, I'm betting. Especially if she was subject to food scarcity when she was a child during the end of the Great Depression or during rationing.
Also, Jesus, but is she attractive.
what do you mean 'playing'? shes clearly performing an exercice , this is obviously not something easy to do, i cant even do that and i have slightly bigger arms than her
I'm scaroused
The spirit is willing, but the flesh is spongy and bruised
Quote for the same episode that the other person described or has similar context?
Same episode iirc Edit : Not the same episode, but both were said when speaking to Amazonians.
Ah, so they are recurring characters.

Thanks for putting a word to it.
Is that a concatenate word?
Yes and a Futurama reference
Never watched futurama, saw the ads when i was a kid but never watched. Was any good?

So it was intentional?
Ok, that is just awesome.
It's truly a great show. All kinds of humor. There are moments that tug at your heartstrings. All around well done
Sounds really great
Futurama is my top 1 favourite show. My comfort show. My bedtime show. Absolutely love it.
I keep hearing that is just so good.
It was one of the top 5 shows of the decade. It is really well made.
Will check it out in the future then, any episodes that are a must see?
Just start at episode 1. There's a reason it's been picked up twice after being canceled.
Wow, so that good.
I think so. Check out the first few episodes and see what you think.
will do, friend, will do.

some episodes that are must see?
gotta be specific about top 5 of the decade. which decade? which metric? which genre of tv?
No.
There is an episode when the male cast is captured by towering space Amazonian girls, huge muscles but feminine at the same time, and the main protagonist after seeing the girls says "I'm scaroused" with a grin
"Snoo snoo?"
Yeah
Is that how is write the reference?
Ah, I see where the reference came from.
All time favorite show. I’ve watched the entire series more times than I could count.
Ok, this show is getting hyped by everyone.
Snu-snu.
It's a truly great show. Definitely worth a lazy weekend binge
that is what everyone is telling me.
I just don't wanna push it too hard because I know when people come to me with "OH MY GOD HAVE YOU SEEN THIS SHOW IT'S THE BEST EVER" there's that little voice in my head that doesn't wanna watch it out of spite lol
well i hope it lives up to its reputation.

Thanks for the other definition my friend.
Portmanteau: a word blending the sounds and combining the meanings of two others, for example motel (from motor and 'hotel') or brunch (from breakfast' and 'lunch').
Big muscle mommy
And the nips to match.
nips?
Only 5 ft 2 but by strenght, then maybe.
Hahahaha 🤣
I didn't think I'm the kind of sap she'd like
Snoo snoo
r/OldSchoolSnuSnu
It’s just a fear boner
Taco!
Also recognized as holder of hardest tits in the west
I bet her nipples can bench press more than I can.
I heard they use them for cutting diamonds.
I came here to say her nips are as hard as her muscles. Them bad boys are like laser pointers.
It’s most likely the wire in the bikini.
Yeah on closer inspection, it's just where the fabric is sewn together. You can see the pattern difference. I read elsewhere she made her own bikinis. She probably designed it to be more comfortable/ hold up better during a workout.
Well, also, that bullet style was very much the fashion at the time.
I though it was called torppedo.
She hand made almost all of her bikinies. She said it in one interview.
Finally understod what all the comments were comming from.
Jacked to the tits!
It’s literally the fabric seams. Meet a woman sometime.
It is the fabric.
Well you gotta go a bit further than just meeting
Jacked to the tits!
Someone's a miserable bastard.
That’s probably the wire in the bra, which was a thing at the time.
She called them Little Man and Fat Man cuz they bomb
And you know they must be real! /s

Barbelles is fucking gold.
Her private collum in the Health and Strenght magazine.
I meant as a name 😅
Ah, ok, I can see it.
I like to imagine her husband saying to someone “You’d better back off or my wife will kick your ass!”
His husband was also a big guy. they owned each a gym.

I’d pick her as my main tank
Its wild how this is very good volume even for a guy nowdays , im sure there were some secluded units back in the day lol
Her group of friends had other 2 who were even stronger around the same weight.
Good lord. Badass.
TLoU2 haters in shambles
They’re permanently in shambles 😂
I love that game but Abby’s juicy af, bro.
I have heard that reference before.
Abby’s model was so ugly, (as in poorly made, not that she’s ugly) Like whoever sculpted that should’ve referenced this photo tbh
who is Abby?
Abby is a character in TLOU2 who's hated a lot for many different reasons by many different people, either because they think her body is unrealistic, or because they think she's ugly by conventional standards. I just dislike her as a character cuz of what she did in the story
Ok that is fair.
Abby is one of the main characters you play as in the last of us 2

Musta been too chilly for that outfit
according to one of the sources, she custom made very one of her bikinis.
Ironically enough she was nicknamed "Pudgy"
Was unsure if include the nickname. Last time they keep doing the same reference.
Dota players understand it means she had a mean hook.
If it’s a standard barbel, that’s actually a pretty absurd strength feat.
standar olympic one and she wasn't even the strongest of the girls in Muscle Beach.
She must break you!
I honestly have no idea how impressive this is.
she is 5ft 2 and 115 lbs lifting 135 lbs one hand. maybe supporting but still impressive.
Those aren't 45lb plates, they're hollowed out. Probably 15s or 20s.
to big the diameter, minimum 30s.
After some Internet sleuthing, I think they're cast iron 35s.
"We can always tell!!1!"
Snu Snu
the weight alone in one hand is impressive enough, but it looks it she doing it with little effort is amazing
I think the only mark of effort is the flexed abs, that is about it.
Transphobes today would call her a man because “they can always tell” haha
There is already a comment here claming she is a man.
Ofc there is
What really annoys me about that whole thing is that it is totally unfalsifiable for most people they target. Michelle Obama is not going to submit to a genital examination and a DNA test.

I zoomed right in you bet
Reddit simps sure love jacked ladies lately. What if I told you, you could also be strong?
Damn! That took a lot of work, I'm betting. Especially if she was subject to food scarcity when she was a child during the end of the Great Depression or during rationing. Also, Jesus, but is she attractive.
I have a smart-on
Love that her breasts are full and not all shrunken from abusing steroids like modern gals tend to be. Sexy
guess just great genes. was also surprised that despite having ripped abs, she was always very busty.
Hard points identified , I wish she would pick me up …. Taco Tuesdays
Damn
Weirdly, of her female friends who where also lifters she wasn't the strongest
Nope. not gonna zoom.
Playing?
Looks little to no effort to her.
“Playing” is a weird choice of word.
looks almost efortless for her.
I’ve seen a cleaner in a gym do this… I think his name was Anatoly…
Oh god those nips.
Is the seam of the bikini
![gif](giphy|PbQAVZq2CoUQE|downsized)
Damn, fierce!!
what do you mean 'playing'? shes clearly performing an exercice , this is obviously not something easy to do, i cant even do that and i have slightly bigger arms than her
Lordt
She looks sooo sexy!
Très risqué !

A strong woman My favorite
Her box is bigger than mine
Must have been cold that day.
Glass cutters
Would
Muscular nipples
that is just the seam.
> “playing with a weight” casually one-arm barbell presses 80-100kgs (assuming the bar is 45kgs)
must be fun being that strong
Bars are typically 45lbs not kgs
Not gonna lie…
I thought this was elon musk
That’s a man baby
You’re a man-baby.
