I have to agree with, yeah, all of the posts. It’s a very sophisticated quote.
I hope it’s not seen as spam, when I recommend one
fine piece of electronic music: “Nugatti All Ova Me Butty” by Olav Brekke Mathisen.
The first track “Hasjbox” contains the conversation between the “Godfellas” Bender & God in this Futurama episode and thereby this very quote.
Knew the episode before and was surprised to get this with an album I wanted because of another track :)

the episode aired today wasn’t the first time i saw it but i just realised the quote this time, really good one, also if your into quoted look up carpe diem quotes… and that dog episode shoulda had a happier ending i think the dog woulda added alot to the cast

Man I love this quote just saw it in a Futurama episode I watched for the second time. Straight after I googled it. It pretty much sumerises a sysadmins job. I am a SysAdmin, and people are so oblivious to the dedication and sheer expertise thatgoes into keeping their computers, servers, and networks running as they “expect” it should be. It is a thankless job. Apart from the stress I love it none the less. But my point is it’s a great and very relavent quote.

No kidding. I almost cried watching that ending. I guess thats the mark of a good show. It can make you laugh and cry. Or almost since Im too much of a man! :)

i love this quote as well, i just used it in a paper for my english class, and i really hope my teacher is not a futurama fan! But yes this show is very excellent, and the episode when Fry thinks of his brother as a jerk, and later finds out in the end what he really was, is the best episode of any show i have ever seen.

yeah the episode with the dog actually had me in tears, it was so incredibly sad.
I really hope that god is a space probe that crashed into god.

Dead on. The end of the dog episode was easily the saddest thing I’ve ever watched on TV.

No clue what a sysadmin is…but I agree about that episode and the quote. I find theres a deecent amount of Futurama episodes that aren’t pointless humor all the time, which is why I like them. Nowadays, Family Guy, South Park, other stuff, they’re funny. But pointless. Futurama sometimes has that profound or emotional or sumthin side to it. Like when Fry had a chance to get his dog back.But yea great quote, I had to google it to make sure I had it right

I rarely watch Futurama…not that I don’t want to, it’s just I don’t know when it’s going to be on. When I do get to watch it though, it usually is just pointless humor. However, when I watched the “Godfellas” episode, it really made me think. As soon as I heard that quote at the end, I had to run and find a piece of paper to write it down. It made me want to start my own list of quotes to keep me going. So I did…and now that quote is on the very top. Quotes are one of my favorite things in the world. I try to write a new one every day.
Thanks for reading.

I quite agree. That quote alone made that episode, in my opinion, the most profound of all Futurama episodes.

This idea can also be applied on a moral level. In life one sometimes comes across an opportunity to help someone in a certain way that will go unnoticed. Morally the right way to handle the situation would be simply to help and the wrong thing to do would be to manipulate the situation so that it makes you come out as a hero even if what you did was truly helpful or not.
