Talking Futurama - Mobius Dick
Added 2025-08-11 04:00:03 +0000 UTC"There's nothing personal about this. That thing screwed up my delivery. This time, it's BUSINESS." - Turanga Leela
Leela develops an Ahab-like fixation with a Moby Dick-like space whale who chomps the latest Planet Express delivery and drags the crew through fourth-dimensional space. But, in the end, we learn that obsession makes whales of us all.

My parents GPS had Peter Sallis (or more likely his replacement Ben Whitehead) as Wallace for their Garmin GPS in the late 00s

2025-08-19 21:10:45 +0000 UTCInstead of "Sailor Moon", I don't think it would've been too deep of a cut for Leela to have called Amy "Sailor Mars" since she's a Martian. Also, I can't tell if going back to the Titanic well again at this point is lazy writing or funny since they simply can't leave it alone.

2025-08-14 13:58:08 +0000 UTCThere's a subtle gag after they harpoon the whale and all slam against the wall where Bender is both the first and last person in the pile somehow

2025-08-13 22:33:23 +0000 UTCI’m not an engineer, physicist, or weapons expert, but I just do not get people seeing the Holdor Maneuver and thinking “why not do that every time?” It solves every problem the way a gun can always kill someone. If you aim it just right. In space. Also, you only have one bullet, and if you miss, you’re dead. Actually, you could be dead either way. Dying is kind of the best case scenario, actually. (Otherwise you’re far from the battle, which is now probably lost). And also it only really makes sense when there are exactly two ships to think about. 🤷🏻♂️

2025-08-11 23:22:35 +0000 UTCI could never bring myself to even acknowledge angry birds back in the day, because (as was so important to me for some reason) I hated that no one knew it was a rip off Crush the Castle (or whatever CtC was ripping off) and I had played sooo much of that during the height of flash games on the internet. It just made me sad that crush the castle never really got its time in the sun like angry birds did. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crush_the_Castle
