Can You Identify These Futurama Characters By These Quotes?

355 Shares

Futurama: possibly one of the most popular cartoon series to date. Fans just couldn't get enough of this Matt Groening creation. But how well do you know this space traversing, booze guzzling, delivery boy-loving, crew of misfits? The series was a massive hit with fans and won Six Emmy awards during its run. The final show aired on 4th September 2013.

The show was eventually stopped due to the unpredictable and unstable airing of episodes, but, having said that, Futurama was technically not canceled. It was just not renewed. The producers have stated that they were exploring options for the future of the series. "We have many more stories to tell but would gauge fan reaction to the news," they said. This does bring hope that sometime, in the near future, the show we all love so much will be picked up again and bring back the type of humor we love.

Now, on to our quiz. Are you the Futurama quiz champ? Does Professor Farnsworth make you smile? Does Zapp Brannigan remind you of your time in the military? Do you identify with shy, retiring Kiff or does Leela make your rockets fire? Let's find out! Can you match the quotes to the characters or will you need to Zoidberg shuffle it out of here?

Question 1

I’ll build by own theme park. With black jack and hookers. In fact, forget the park!

Now, this sounds like a playground that most guys would be happy to spend money in, but who would have the nerve to even say this? Surely not the Professor? Perhaps this is what Hermes was thinking when he was told he was too fat to take theme park rides. Could it be Fry? We all know that Fry has a 20th-century take on theme parks. Maybe this was Zapp Brannigan talking about his idea of heaven? We all know his views on women!

Question 2

If for any reason, you're not satisfied, I hate you.

Most people who work in customer service often wish that they could just roast an annoying customer but in the real world, this type of behavior would get you fired. Not so in the world of Futurama, it seems. Which character would have the guts to say this? Surely not Leela? She is too professional. Could it be Hermes? We all know that Hermes is a bureaucrat and more than capable of speaking his mind. Or is this just someone fed up with it all? Either way, don't you just wish you could say it?

Question 3

I really ought to do something but I am already in my pajamas.

Who among us doesn't know this feeling? Especially in winter, when you just can't convince yourself to leave the bed, no matter what the consequences. I bet a few of you have suddenly remembered that there is a pressing matter that requires attention, but pajama time has already been activated. Who do you think this truthful quote could be from? Perhaps this is from Nixon's head? Or could this be the Mayor? Maybe this was good old Hermes just feeling pooped after a long work day?

Question 4

Bite my shiny metal ass!

Even if you've only ever seen one episode of Futurama (wait who watches just one?) you will know the answer to this question. The character who said it loves to do as little as possible and his favorite pastimes include looting and drinking. He's got a smart mouth which often gets the crew into trouble and this is his signature catchphrase. Come to think of it, if you don't know who says this we strongly recommend a dose of Futurama right now!

Question 5

She's built like a steakhouse but she handles like a bistro!

As you have no doubt already know, Futurama takes place in the year 3000 where spaceflight is available to almost everyone. And of course there are space battles too and most captains at some stage have to fight their way out of a confrontation. Do you think that Leela said this? She is known as a no holds barred captain but likes the romantic side of life too. Or perhaps the Donbot's driver? Perhaps this is our famous Zapp Brannigan discussing invasion plans with Kiff, Or it could be Nixon's head?

Question 6

Well, getting the brain out was the easy part. The hard part was getting the brain out.

It's usually pretty easy to tell who's talking in Futurama with such distinct characters, but every now and then one slips out that really could have been said by anybody. Even Leela has uttered some not so smart words in her time, despite being the ever quick-to-violent voice of reason. Still, this line is probably down to a few of the more experimentally inclined characters. Though, it could very equally have been said by somebody having a little bit of trouble with the instructions.

Question 7

I haven't had time off since I was 21 through 24.

We all need some time off from work every now and again to just relax and have some fun. And we will do almost anything to get it! Even in the year 3000 vacations are still important. But who of us can say that we took this amount of time off? Could this be Leela when she worked in Cryogenics? Or perhaps it is Amy talking about her role as personal understudy to Professor Farnsworth. Could it even be Bender reminiscing about his time at bending school?

Question 8

Finally, I look as pretty as I feel!

Most of us have had those first date struggles. Do I look pretty or handsome enough? Is he or she going to like me? Where did I park the car? But not everyone can say that they feel as pretty or handsome as they look. We have a tendency to notice small imperfections about ourselves and then blow it totally out of proportion. If we didn't the cosmetic surgery industry wouldn't make so much money. Maybe we should take a page from this character and just feel good no matter what we look like.

Question 9

Hahahahaha. Oh wait you’re serious. Let me laugh even harder.

Sarcasm is the feeder language of Futurama, it courses through its circuits and dark matter converters like neutrinos. But can you match this sarcastic comment to its origin? Who said it? Was this Hermes after Fry demanded a raise? Or perhaps Leela when Fry asked her on a date? I bet you think it was Amy's dad when he was told he couldn't buy the rest of Mars. Maybe it was the beloved Professor Farnsworth when Fry told him that he wants to be the Captain?

Question 10

I don't want you to worry about your jobs while you're away. That's why I'm firing you now.

Do you work in a high-stress environment and always shudder and worry about what you are going to find when you go back to work? Perhaps you are an employer and really just want to be able to say this sometimes. Can you imagine what life would be like if this was a reality and could be done with no afterthought? Either way, I'm sure you are having a chuckle imagining saying this to someone and seeing the look on their faces. Who do you think had the guts to say this?

Question 11

If I ever feel lonely, I'll just look over at this disfiguring scar and think of you.

Most of us have that one friend that has nearly killed us a few times. Or perhaps you are the joker in your group of friends? Sometimes we end up with scars that tell a great story of an adventure gone wrong, a stupid moment, or a dare that no one thought you'd pull off. But some scars can mean more to us. Some scars forged a brotherhood or friendship tighter than blood. Either way giving your friends scars is something that should be avoided!

Question 12

So, he's got a little ink, big whoop!

Tattoo's come in all shapes, sizes, and genres. Some people have them and some don't. It's a personal choice and in today's more modern world its no longer just sailors and convicts that have them. They can signify important life events or mysteriously appear after a heavy night of partying. Regardless of class distinction or where you might be in life, you know someone who has a tattoo and this quote perfectly sums up the best way to deal with the haters.

Question 13

Not everyone turns out like their parents. Look at me: my parents were honest, hard-working people.

Oh, snap! Don't you wish someone would open a conversation like this? Honesty is the best policy but this gem is priceless and we all know someone who this could or does apply to. Who said this? Was it Leela after finding out she is, in fact, a mutant and not an alien? Or is this Hermes discussing his take on being a bureaucrat? Or Perhaps Amy, discussing her time as a student instead of a rich and spoilt party girl? Could it even be Dr. Zoidberg discussing his medical degree?

Question 14

I don't like the looks of this doctor. I bet I've lost more patients than he's even treated.

Doctors are wonderful people and can be a real life saver (pun intended), but they can also be a pain in the behind. A lot of doctors have an I-know-it-all-done-it-all attitude towards patients. Was this quote uttered by the infamous crustaceous medical practitioner of Futurama? Or could Professor Farnsworth have said this? Afterall, It WAS Professor Farnsworth who regrew the crew after that big mishap. Or perhaps this was said to Bender after his terrifying can-opener incident? A real fan will know this one instantly!

Question 15

Someones's gonna get stabbed in the ass!

Each universe has its own issues, each planet its own rules. This is an example of what can happen to someone if they don't adhere to the rules. Who do you think said it and who do you think they are talking about? Could this possibly be a Zapp Brannigan conversational gem? We all know how verbal he gets! Or is this perhaps the robot Devil making a deal with Bender? How about Bender talking about his age old nemesis, the can opener?

Question 16

In the game of chess you can never let your adversary see your pieces.

We all know and love Professor Farnsworth and his sometimes quirky and often times confused character and the things he says. We also know that Fry isn't the freshest sandwich in the picnic basket, but this gem of a quote takes the cake. Who could have said this and could they have been any more serious? Obviously, the person who said this has never played chess in their lives or maybe they were playing a version we've never heard of before?

Question 17

Scalpel... blood bucket... priest. Next patient!

Now this a sweet little gem of a quote! Can you imagine sitting in a waiting room and hearing this? I bet you'd run and hide! This seems to be the epitome of high-speed medicine and should definitely not ever come into daily practice. Now we know this could have been said by a dozen doctors throughout the series but who do you think said it? Could it be the robot doctor during the war against the balls? Or perhaps this was said by one of the ER doctors after Leela is blinded by a spice-weasel.

Question 18

It's not uncharted, you lost the chart!

Now, how many men have had the "are you going to stop and ask for directions" argument? This argument has been going since we first started exploring and traversing the world. But this argument can get much worse, all you need to do is lose the map and then not ask for those directions. This quote is from one of our favorite space travelers, and of course, blame has to be laid somewhere. Who do you think said this? Was this Leela? Could it be Professor Farnsworth? Possibly Bender? Or is this the bureaucratic answer we would expect from Hermes?

Question 19

This concept of wuv confuses and infuriates us!

Everyone loves being single until Valentines Day rolls around. This day can make unattached people feel very lonely and make them long to find someone special. We have all seen at some point the "forever alone" memes. But few of us have this casual approach to Cupids day. Perhaps, some of us are immune to the arrows or we are just not that interested. For some of us, there is an overriding urge to find that someone special, even if it's only for one day.

Question 20

This is the worst kind of discrimination there is, the kind against me!

Who said this? Who was up in arms about being discriminated against? Could it be Leela with her mutant parents? Could it be Amy put in a poor house? Maybe Fry, tired of being picked on for being dumb? Or perhaps it is Professor Farnsworth having a word with Wernstrom? Zap Brannigan could be arguing his case before D.O.O.P or perhaps it's Bender, tired of not having a Robot holiday? Who is not going to stand for this type of discrimination?

Question 21

I don’t want to live on this planet anymore.

Most of us have, at some time or another, used a variation of this quote. Either the city, province, county or state you are in just doesn't do it for you anymore or you really want to leave the planet. Hopefully, in the near future with Space-X and Nasa this will become a reality, but until then we have to just grin and get on with it. Which one of the lovable gang said this? Was it Dr. Banjo, the Orang-utang scientist? Or perhaps Professor Wernstrom?

Question 22

Well, thanks to the internet, I'm now bored with sex.

Now, this is a quote that no one should ever use! This is a sad quote, to say the least. In this day and age, with access to the internet, there is so much information and such a vast amount of things to see that we can be easily bored. But when is enough too much? How much do you need to take in before it becomes an information overload and you are simply bored with it all? This is one subject that should never become boring.

Question 23

My old life wasn't as glamorous as my webpage made it look.

Today we have a vast influx of social media, from Facebook to Instagram. For the most part, the majority of us just cannot do without our daily fix of gossip and events from other peoples lives. We all go on social media and post either the good or the bad and revel in each other lives, all by remote viewing. Gone are the days of a barbecue on a Saturday with some face to face discussions. Now it's Facetime. Gone are the days of writing letters, now it's just a text. But how true are our posts?

Question 24

I was so dumb I tried to wear a hat on my butt!

Well now, nothing against our friends from the Southwest. It wasn't us who said it, we promise. Admittedly Mars will be dry and dusty to start off with. If we can now just get those darned terraforming coal burners up there and get working that'd be great! All jokes aside, this quote is from an episode that aired during Futurama's original run. The Martians have played quite a big part in Planet Express' adventures. Was Futurama foretelling Space-X and the race to Mars?

Question 25

Is he dumb or just ugly?

Burn! We all have that one friend that has no filter between their brain and mouth and just cannot be diplomatic no matter how hard they try. But is this going too far? We all have feelings and not everyone can look like a supermodel. It is, admittedly, funny. But who could have said it so straight up? Is it Leela in her search for a man? Or perhaps Amy? We know she has a cuteness overload issue. Perhaps this is Fry asking a typical Fry question.

Question 26

Everywhere I looked, there were piles of bodies. And then the explosion struck.

Robots of the future are fueled by alcohol, this is a well-known fact in the world of Futurama. We also know that Mom's Friendly Robot Company is the premier builder of almost all robots and that she designed the robots to consume booze in order to function. The quote in this question can possibly be attributed any one of these five robots: the robot Devil, Hedonism-bot, Calculon, Bender and the Donbot. Who, taking the quote into account, could be so careless in their approach to life?

Question 27

My Manwich!

Now we get to the tasty bit, let me bam it up a notch! Food for our heroes comes in a wide variety and sometimes from a questionable source or two. Who can forget Bender's attempts at cooking! But what son of a spice-weasel would speak in such a derogatory tone to our favorite cyclops? Who would dare? Could it be the intergalactic Gordon Ramsey of the future; Elzar? Or is it perhaps Leela's new man, Alcazar, the sole survivor of Cyclopia?

Question 28

What fevered dream is this that bids to tear this company in twain? [Returns to reading National Pornographic magazine.]

Oh, the things the show never tells us. Being a hero is not all about space battles and chimichangas. Our hero's need to do the things we all need to do on a daily basis, those pesky ablutions. But who keeps it all afloat? Who can bend a pipe straight or work in high temperatures? Is there such a mere mortal who could fix a leaking space boiler and still have to chill? Who is this hard-charging unsung hero of the broom?

Question 29

My only regret is... that I have... boneitis!

The poor crew is sometimes overwhelmed by all the jobs they have to do. Imagine going to all those planets, each as different and unique as the shells in the ocean. Now can you imagine having to get used to a new boss each time you land back on your home planet? Perhaps the crew does deserve a break from the back breaking work of intergalactic space delivery. But who would take over? Nixon's head? Mom? Perhaps Leela or Fry. Who ever it is sure needs to keep the troops in line.

Question 30

Watch it ya stumble bums, you're booping my Betty!

A common trend that pops up every few years is a regression. Either in clothing, speech, or the way to do things. We call this "going retro". Who could be behind this feisty little quote? Could it be Leela? Mutants are, after all, a little behind the times. Or perhaps it was Fry; he is from the twentieth century. Perhaps it was Dr. Zoidberg; he is known for his archaic forms of speech. It is possibly from the Professor, he is a very old man. Or could this be from our famous cowardly hero, Zapp Brannigan?

Question 31

My doom-proof platinum vest absorbed most of the radiation! In retrospect, I wish I'd have worn doom-proof pants, but you know us nudists.

Now we have all experienced the latest craze of doomsday prophecies and final days revelations. 2012 was supposed to be the big one according to the Mayans and most countries have a host of prophets and predictions. But how many times can we end the world and start again without it being noticed?According to the popular author, Terry Pratchett in his novel "Thief of Time", it happens almost daily but no-one notices. Could our heroes also be seeing this while we all remain oblivious?

Question 32

Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me eight or more times, shame on me!

A truer quote has never been .. uhm.. nevermind. Men will never be able to understand this strange feminine phenomenon. Those few men that have tried to gain a deeper knowledge of the female mind have been lost to us, never to be seen or heard from again. The way women act towards one another is as confusing as Russian contractual fine print written in English by a Japanse guy after a heavy night of warm Saki and cold beer. Who could have imparted this piece of knowledge?

Question 33

We demand bouncing, followed by rolling, followed by rolling of the third type.

This quote brings us back to the mind of a tactical genius. The description is about as accurate as when Julius Ceaser said to never retreat but rather, strategically, advance to the rear. It could have been said by any one of our troop of frequent space flyers. Perhaps by Nixon's head in battle, or Fry while running for his life. Perhaps by Leela while trying to take down Santa Claus. Or could it be by that famous tactician, Bender?

Question 34

You raised my hopes and dashed them quite expertly, Sir!

A lot of the Futurama cast seem to get tough breaks, except for maybe Bender and Zapp who seem to just fall into great situations constantly. This quote comes from an unfortunate soul who is constantly getting the raw end of the deal. This character especially has been a victim of plenty of (hilarious yet sad) abuse. Still, they find it in themselves to keep going with an almost chipper disposition. Bender is particularly guilty of that abuse, not that he always realizes it.

Question 35

It's just like the story of the grasshopper and the octopus. All year long, the grasshopper kept burying acorns for the winter, while the octopus mooched off his girlfriend and watched TV. But then the winter came, and the grasshopper died, and the octopus ate all his acorns. And also he got a racecar. Is any of this getting through to you?

Oh, there are so many stories that are supposed to teach us lessons, most we hear as children with the occasional one popping up in later life. We tell our children these stories to teach them lessons and values, but this one takes the proverbial space cake. If this is meant to be a lesson in life we can only but pity the poor person telling it. Or perhaps it's a story lost in translation, say from Martian. Whoever said it is definitely missing a slice of the pie.
