I love it when Fry forgets to talk.

'Look Bender, it's that guy you are'

[27sevenSToFo]

Probably one of the best linguistic jokes in the entire show. "No I'm... doesn't!!!"

[rocker13511]

Fry: Hey, wait. I'm having one of those things. You know a headache with pictures.

Leela: An idea?

Fry: Uh! Uh!

Fry: But, but, Bender need brain... for smart making.

and of course, there's: Fry: People said I was dumb, but I proved them.

[GodPrefersAnAtheist]

My two favorite Fry lines are:

1)Professor: "And Fry has that brain thing." Fry:"I already did!"

2)Announcer:"And now the lady that MOM-opolizes the robot industry..." Fry:"I get it!" Announcer:"MOM!" Fry:"Ohhhh, NOW I get it."

[FlippinBooks]

Some of my favorite lines in the show are when Fry fails to string together a coherent sentence. "No, I'm doesn't!" is clearly the best. Followed closely by "I'll be whatever I wanna do!"

Also, Billy West wears red Converse sneakers. That's so rad.

@27sevenSToFo

I love this so much. :-D

here's a better one: when the crew visit the robo-hungarian capital, one villager says about the house ``some of us say it`s haunted`` and another villager says `for example, ALL of us say that!`` that makes sense whether you think it does or not. it is a joke of entailment and implicature. `some of us`implicates, but does not entail, that it is not all. but once the second sentence is uttered, the implicature is cancelled, while still maintaining the logic because there was no entailment.

@habs4life9 Yes those are funny aswell, but the one that really tickled me was the one that I mentioned. I'm Swedish which means that English is not my mother language so I'm sure that I'm missing alot of linguistic jokes made in the entire show. However, I think I got the most hilarious ones ;)

[habs4life9]

@27sevenSToFo there are better linguistics jokes in futurama than "no i'm doesn't" although that one is quite funny. there's the time when fry says to a waiter in a restaurant "i'll have a glass of al your water" that is a play on the semantics of quantifiers. also when lurr says "instead of shooting where i was, you should have shot at where i was goind to be" that's playing on different aspectual meanings of the past tense.

[JiMxtreme]

Definitely!! But I think I prefer... "Look, there he is! It's that guy you are!"
