For me, I would have to say Minx fom the episode 2-D Blacktop. https://theinfosphere.org/Minx

I just feel her backstory is annoying and way too drawn out. It really doesn't add anything to the episode just detracts from the enjoyment for me.

Santa Clause bot. All of those episodes annoy me.

[–] TeaHands@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago

Yeah they're definitely not the best

[–] linearchaos@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago

I liked the first one It was different it was wacky It was all Futurama.

But after the initial introduction he doesn't bring a lot to the table. The thing is, it's just a Christmas episode. They put Santa Claus in the universe they're going to tap him every Christmas.

Gotta love the crazy lady living at the nursing home with Harold Zoid. Some of the best Tress Macneille noises ever.

Edit: Turns out the question was Least favorite. Thank you brain for omitting key words while reading, and having me instead post a favorite.

Ok, right. Don't come for me.

A lot of the time it's Leela

Oh damn this should've been my actual true answer to the which quotes are your most used question. Sometimes you quote something so much you forget you didn't come up with it yourself 😂

[–] TiredAndHappy@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

One episode that always stands out to Me is where Leela dates that doctor, then drops him because he wanted to change people. I think that little girl would have loved to not have an extra ear on her forehead...

[–] Keepitpushin@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I get your point and im pretty sure its not that unpopular, but i think that she was set up this way on purpose to contrast the other characters for them to stand out more. Most of the time she's that paper while the other characters are the crayons.

[–] TeaHands@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I get that she's supposed to be the straight man. But also sometimes she's just awful all by herself. I stand by it lol.

[–] Awa@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

I feel that Leela represents the superego, whereas Fry is the ego and Bender is the id. They tend to balance each other out.

[–] linearchaos@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Hermes is very hit or miss for me. Anytime he's the main character or semi main character one of the episodes I love him dearly. But in about half of his cameo skits he's just meh. Also the whole Barbados Slim LeBarbara thing seems kind of tired.

[–] average650@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

I like Hermes. But the Barbados slim lebardra thing really paints lebarabra as an unlikeable and disloyal/unfaithful person. Hermes deserves better.

[–] Ace_Addams@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

Didn't care for Adlai, the guy from Leila's Orphanarium who had to have everything normal and average.

[–] N00dle@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I don't like bender. Especially in the later seasons.

[–] torres@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago

Oh no you didn't just say that

[–] w3dd1e@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago

It might be unpopular but I sort of agree with you. I don’t not like him, but he doesn’t have the character’s attitude is far too played up in the later seasons. Actually a lot of the characters is the later seasons are. I still like the episode but it’s not nearly as strong as the first run.

[–] average650@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

I don't dislike her, but Amy is definitely my least favorite of the main cast. I don't find he that funny and her best moments could have been taken by a lot of different characters.
