Well done. The only weak matchup is the Amy->Cheryl one since Amy's a genius while Cheryl sniffs glue.

And since when is Krieger repulsive?

[–] [email protected] 54 points 10 months ago

I can fix him

Are you forgetting about the whole "cameras in the bathroom" thing?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 10 months ago (1 children)

He can film my shitting asshole whenever he’d like.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 10 months ago

With your username, he might be getting more than he bargained for

Many of us are not a fan of his gimp suit

Do you own a windowless van with an anime girl inside?

She's probably just insane since she has occasional moments of clarity and intellect.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 10 months ago

You could also argue general sluttyness for both.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 10 months ago

Both of them are (at least early in the series) promiscuous.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 10 months ago

She's still a ditz, even if she's supposedly a genius which always seemed out of character to me.

Do you want crossover episodes? Because that's how you get crossover episodes.

NGL I'd love to see the plotlines of the shows swapped! Planet Express News and Information Services!

[–] [email protected] 14 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Planet Express News and Information Services!

Now there's a name that would never become controversial!

[–] [email protected] 5 points 10 months ago

Are we still doing phrasing?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Hum... Archer has a lot more initiative than Fry, but outside of that switching the plot lines wouldn't stand out a lot.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Archer has a lot more intentional violence

[–] [email protected] 4 points 10 months ago (1 children)

The Futurama variance on that is so high, I'm not sure what show has the record.

Is Hermes a pushover? That's not how I viewed him

[–] [email protected] 57 points 10 months ago (1 children)

When it comes to his wife and Barbados Slim he is.

Okay, look, Hermes, we got to think of the boy. He needs a daddy.

He has a daddy!

No, he got two half-daddies!

Unlike Zoidberg, Krieger is not the medical kind of doctor.

[–] [email protected] 55 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Zoidberg isn't either, his PhD is in art history

he later states in "The Duh-Vinci Code" that his PhD is in art history (as opposed to medicine).[7]

[–] [email protected] 11 points 10 months ago (2 children)

Yeah but at least zoidberg is an expert at xenobiology. He can dissect and diagnose pretty much anything that's not human.

[–] Meho_Nohome 12 points 10 months ago (1 children)

But Krieger can build cyborgs. That's cooler than dissecting and diagnosing.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 10 months ago

Debatable but fair

Hermes isn't an accountant he's a bureaucrat.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 10 months ago (2 children)

He performs the same functions for Planet Express.

Different terms for the same character job.

Hey, Pam and Bender occasionally work. At least once. One work.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 10 months ago

Hey, Bender has worked a lot. He is the company chef. Plus worked as a scab with Flexo.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Hermes is way a more confident man than Cyril.

[–] ryathal 7 points 10 months ago (1 children)
[–] [email protected] 8 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Cyril is pretty competent but Archer is his kryptonite.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 10 months ago

And Mallory. Remember when their agency shut down and set up a new one with Cyril as the head and he tried to be assertive? Mallory subtly influenced him which made her the unofficial leader-- the leader yet again. That always cracks me up!

[–] [email protected] 15 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I cannot believe Amy is lower level than Fry.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (1 children)

First Bender then Flexo the Fry.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Let’s just go alphabetically

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

First Bender, then Flexo, then Fry

This fits so incredibly well

[–] [email protected] 10 points 10 months ago

This is pretty spot on.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 10 months ago

Amy isn't the lowest, she's responsible for the Professor's dentures!

[–] [email protected] 7 points 10 months ago

I thought Lana was voiced by Katey Sagal for the longest time. Still catch myself thinking that sometimes.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 10 months ago

I accept the descriptions as technically true but...

The only two that feel similar are leela and lana. Everyone else is real stretch.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 10 months ago

Didn't know Amy was into being choked...

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Also, both are ambiguous with what time they're set in: Futurama in the future, Archer likely in the 60s/70s, but both constantly referencing current events and technology.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

I think archer is set up at current time, as for Futurama it is inspired by current events to make it more relatable. Though the last season (on Hulu) feels like it was done by the writers out of laziness. Not sure if they got paid less, or expected it to flop, but feels like less effort was put than usual. Though I did love the last episode, I guess because it was written by David X. Cohen and he didn't do the same.
