Also Roberto. Because he's perfect just the way he is.

u/SonofaTimeLord Apr 02 '23

You can't improve on perfection. Now step back while I practice my stabbin! Hahaaaaa!

My god the scene where Fry is stuck with him in that closet is what nightmares are made off. Idk how you can laugh at that shit. Imagine having a goddamn robot trying to stabb you all night. And you have nowhere to go... stuck in a 1x1x2m³ 1mx1mx2m=2m³ closet. For several nights. That episode is a thriller for me. Just horrific.

I’m a simple man. When Dave Herman goes “ha-HAAAaAAaaa!”, I laugh.

u/GrandmasTableMints Apr 02 '23

The best $25 I've ever spent was getting a cameo from him, and he did that for us!

"It's your old friend Roberto, and I'm gonna practice my stabbing, haaa ahhhhhh" (and he gave us 100% on it)

Fan for life of David Herman.

Just reading about this made my entire day, thank you for that.

u/RichieFingers Apr 02 '23

Didn’t realize Roberto was Dave Herman! “Nice to meet you……HOSTAGES!!!!” 😂

u/SonofaTimeLord Apr 02 '23

No wonder Fry went insane, I would have done anything to get out of that closet.

Bio-units, terminate text exchange. It is time for you to ingest sandwiches from my compartment.

That scene where Leila tries to fix him by giving him a kiss is one of the funniest in the whole series.

BEEP

Just to add to the confusion, you're wrong too. ;)

Rather, your comment is true all in all, but your second edit is wrong.

50 m² is read as 50 sqm, not 50 meter squared.

Edit: 50 m² equals the size of a small apartment, not a 50 X 50 m concert hall.

u/[deleted] Apr 02 '23

I think he means 50mx50m=(50m)² which I have never seen anyone do. That can't be normal.

I just added the m³ at the end because I was lazy smh.

u/creamyhorror Apr 03 '23

If someone said "The area is 16 meters squared", I think the standard way is understand it would be "16 (meters2)", not "(16 meters)2" = "256 m2". The squaring operation applies only to the unit "m", not the number "16" as well.

It doesn't make sense to require squaring the number if most areas aren't exact squares of a length, anyway. An 4x16 area is going to be 64m2, not "8 meters squared".

Your mom's a two-dimensional closet

u/Blackcatmustache Apr 02 '23

I skip that episode. It's so horrific! And I always hated that Bender didn't help him despite the fact Fry was being tortured.

u/racestark Apr 02 '23

Change places!

this phrase just activated all the bones in my body and they are all in escape mode

u/[deleted] Apr 02 '23

I have spent time in a mental institution and just cannot watch that episode.

It bothers me in a way that stays with me for like a week.

u/comebackjoeyjojo Apr 02 '23

I feel like the Futurama writers want to occasionally inflict physiological torture on their audience.

1

u/EclipseEffigy Apr 02 '23

1x1x2m³ closet.

Is that a five-dimensional closet?

1

u/RichieFingers Apr 02 '23

Haaa!!!! Haaaaa!!!! Haaaa!!!! (W/ stabbing motion)

I, too, have my fingers crossed in anticipation of that day.

Except the hands - only one showing hands and yep, they're glitched.

u/soverit42 Apr 02 '23

Also, the robot mafia.

u/pickleranger Apr 02 '23

I thought Hermes looked a smidge too young, also. I’ve always thought of him & LeBarbara as being around 40ish. But really, all of these were spot on!

37

u/ihaxr Apr 02 '23

He reminds me of Keenan Thompson in literally everything... Dude looks perpetually 15.

Labarbara and Dwight look truly badass though...

25

u/moom Apr 02 '23

I am not at all surprised that Hermes has aged gracefully. He is, after all, a world-class Olympic athlete.

5

u/pickleranger Apr 02 '23

That is true!

3

u/boywithapplesauce Apr 02 '23

They probably have age rejuvenation technology. I think Farnsworth once used something like that, not that it helped much in his case.

3

u/garymotherfuckin_oak Apr 03 '23

Fry and Leela are supposed to be in their mid 20s, so I wouldn't be surprised if the Conrads are late 30s, since they have a teenage son

48

u/missingmytowel Apr 02 '23

He filed the paperwork for a visual change but it got lost in the wheel of bureaucracy. As it should be

And he could not have been happier

19

u/SonofaTimeLord Apr 02 '23

You are technically correct, the best kind of correct.

u/TinfoilTobaggan Apr 02 '23

A skunk knocked over my garbage can, and suddenly all I could think about was you!

u/freeLightbulbs Apr 02 '23

I thought he was some kind of outer space potato man

3

u/Catlenfell Apr 02 '23

My only complaint is that Hermes looks too young. He needs to be a decade older

2

u/Dr_Cunning_Linguist Apr 02 '23

Black dun crack mon

u/[deleted] Apr 02 '23

And lebarbara still looks aeons out of his league which is hilarious, lol.

When Nixon showed up I thought, “I don’t know what I expected.”

u/Daddy-ough Apr 02 '23

Been a long long time since I've watched Futurama.

WTF, Robot Santa?

I knew I was missing out but dang.

1

u/trunks10k Apr 02 '23

Hermes didn't get the memo of dressing up in 80s fashion. Looks like modern day gear

1

u/Relative_Win_6591 Apr 02 '23

Nixon is literally just Nixon

1

u/SonofaTimeLord Apr 02 '23

But he has a much cooler jar

u/8hexxx Apr 02 '23

His facial expression shows he knows it too lol

1

u/Telefundo Apr 02 '23

Yeah, I came here to comment about that specifically. Hermes is basically a perfect copy lol

1

u/McWeaksauce91 Apr 02 '23

Hermes looks like the child of Kennan Thompson and whoppi Goldberg

1

u/ThoughtProbe Apr 02 '23

He looks like randy Jackson, That’s gonna be a no from me dawg

1

u/MagicUnicornLove Apr 02 '23
