      The show will return as a full-length, high-def film sold on DVD.

      But does it come in a convenient suppository format?

      I was with you until you used a racist slur against people from Mongolia. Seriously, is that fucking necessary?

      Oh, sure, you bleeding hearts whine about the poor oppressed Mongols now, but you'll be shitting your pants and crying for your mama when the horde is breaching your walls.

    I only hope Zapp Brannigan plays a major role - he steals the show in my book. Best Shatner parody ever.

      Nothing about Zap is straight, except MAYBE his bagging of Leela, and we all know that's only because he mis-interpreted being 'introduced to a one eyed friend' :)

      You've GOT to be kidding me. Zapp Brannigsn is the most fucking annoying Futurama character.

      You're obviously confused and aroused.

      Don't you just hate it when someone follows up a joke with another joke, and the humorless git who posted the original thinks the other person "just didn't get it"?

    I wasn't even going to bother getting this DVD, until I saw the Hypnotoad. Now I want 10 copies!

    Fine. I'll go build my own movie! With blackjack! And hookers! In fact, forget the movie and the blackjack! Ah, screw the whole thing.

    Here's mine (from memory, may not be 100% accurate):

    "God Lord! Thats over 150 atmospheres of pressure!

    How many atmospheres can the ship withstand, professor?

    Well it's a spacship. So anywhere between 0 and 1."

    I think the number of people in the general population that would get that joke is one reason the series was canceled.
