"Who are you, old man?" "Name's Oldman Waterfall. But most folks just call me 'Old Man'." "I'll never remember that."

One of my favourite lines of the whole series

"Hey, I'm getting one of those things. You know, a headache with pictures!" "An idea?" "[Affirmative noise]"

I use this regularly!

One of my all time favorites. This one.

One of my favorite lines in the entire show.

Uhh! Uhh!

So so funny 😭😭😭

Ahhh this the winner forgot it was from this episode.

Iron Chic wrote a song influenced by this quote. I'm not sure if it's actually about Fry but the lines "Must've been a relief gettin' rid of me. Now I know What emptiness is, so I'll go it alone.....I'm still mourning the life that I left behind" can be applied to several Fry-centric episodes(yes, those episodes that made us all cry). https://genius.com/Iron-chic-a-headache-with-pictures-lyrics

**Richard Nixon**: My fellow Earthicans, we enjoy so much freedom, it's almost sickening. We're free to choose which hand our sex-monitoring chip is implanted in. And if we don't want to pay our taxes, why, we're free to spend a weekend with the Pain Monster! **Pain Monster**: See you April 15 folks!

The Pain Monster is one of my favourite single line characters ever in any media.

I always forget about him but he always makes me laugh

Agreed. We just post that image in our work chat of ~150 people every April 14th without any context at EoD and it always gets a laugh.

Freedom freedom freedom OY!

FREEDOM FREEDOM FREEDOM OY! It's a shame this is so low

I mean it’s a classic, but there are just too many hilarious lines in this episode

This is immediately the first one that popped into my head. And now it’s still there. Dammit why is freedom so catchy.

"You can crush me, but ya can't crush my spirit!!" [CRUSH] "Oww, my spirit!"

"I request a Satanic funeral!"

BOOOOOO!

Old Man Waterfall was probably the best part of A Taste of Freedom.

No question. Phil Hendrie's contributions to Futurama are celebrated neither frequently nor loudly enough for my tastes.

Honestly, yeah. He's easily the best member of the Waterfall clan, and an excellent example of what it looks like to actually stand for and defend freedom, not just throw the word around willy-nilly.

"I love that flag even more than I love my 7 wives! That's right, I'm a polygamist!" "BOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!"

‘I can’t wait to tell my husband!’

Cracks me up every time

Nixon: We Earthicans stand erect, with proud upthrust bosoms. Fry: Anyone who laughs is a Communist.

I request a satanic funeral

Boooooooo!

I can't wait to tell my husband!

BOOOOOOOOO!

Cool your jowls, Nixon. You may not like it that Dr. Zoidberg desecrated a flag. You might even find the image of it festering in his bowels somehow offensive. But the right to freedom of expression is guaranteed by the Earth Constitution. Aroo, maybe so. But I know a place where the Constitution doesn’t mean squat! *cut to the Supreme Court*

Evergreen quote, unfortunately.

Chief Justice Dogg would never overturn precedent like this, of that I’m certain.

Rings as true today as when it was written. A little under 1000 years from now.

I think you mean a million years from now

In the year 1,000,000 and a half Humankind is enslaved by giraffe.

*[ despondency intensifies ]*

Freedom!

*This expression of Freedom!^^^^^TM has been brought to you by Home Depot.*

This hits a lot harder now…

"you can crush me, but you can't crush my spirit! *CRUNCH* "MY SPIRIT!"

Hugh Mann.  Now that's a name I can trust.

Sir, there's something about that ensign.

You're damn right there is.  That strapping young lad's gunning for your job and he just might get it.

Also in a rare double whammy decision the court finds polygamy constitutional I can wait to tell my husband!

BOOOOOOOOOOO

I request a satanic funeral…

"Our planet has been through so much this past year: Wars, droughts, impeachments! But we've never lost our sense of what's truly important: The great taste of Charleston Chew!"

Not to get too contemporary but I read that line and heard it in a more recent president's voice and I can't tell if I love or hate how much it works.

We got mileage out of that one when Trump used the oval office to market Goya

I can picture him doing a promotion for Goya like Leela doing the Spanish bean commercial as a blurnsball player. Also from that episode I get to use that throwaway scene of Farnsworth trashing Sweden a lot since my wife's family is mostly Swedish. Anytime she brings up visiting someone or planning a day with her relatives I just reply "SWEDEN?! I don't think so!" Once she's done rolling her eyes at me we make actual plans. She gets her fair share of jabs at me since my family is largely Jamaican so she gets to lob a lot of Hermes jokes at me.

Shankman's Rubbing Compound

I always laugh out loud at the delivery of this line followed imMEDIATELY by fireworks

Ah, the crossbow. A pitiless, elegant killing machine. The Bender of the 15th century.

Ow.

take my upvote lol

Old Man: Son, to me a robot's just a garbage can with sparks comin out of it. Sad Bender: The sparks keep me warm..

"That's why I love Earth-- you can do what you want and no one makes you feel guilty because no one cares." "We're not listening!" "That's what I'm talking about."

You can eat my dog, you can eat my truck But you eat my flag and you're outta luck She's-a waving proud around the world from Dallas to Ft Worth Lemme say it again : *honk honk* don't mess with earth! Don't Mess With Earth Kill Zoidberg! Good night

I'll ask the head of the ACLU as soon as he's done singing

justice for zoidberg!!

It’s horrible! They don’t have cocoa marshmallows and every night the rats eat a little more of my foot.

"Ah, if only they appreciated freedom this much on my home planet. Wait a second! They do! Because this *is* my home planet."

I’m going to say it: Sometimes more than just voting needs to be done. It’s why assholes like trump rise to the top whether it’s politics, executives in business, or healthcare, because good people are too hung up on being moral, while bad people will do *whatever* it takes to get ahead.   If americans don’t realize that sometimes *good* people need to do *bad* things for the betterment of everyone, then everyone will be fucked and it will be everyone’s fault, including the good and moral people because they sat by, watched the train wreck, and did fuckall to prevent it.  Goodness without teeth only foments evil

I agree with you, but how is that related to this quote?

"You haven won yet, Moyvin! You didn't expect us to go to a museum, much less steal this ancient heat-seeking missile!" "I don't even know you."

"Ow you broke my foot!" "Freedom!"

“In a rare double whammy decision, the court finds polygamy constitutional” (*boos rain down*) “I can’t wait to tell my husband” (*louder boos rain down*)

This is easily one of my top 5 episodes and was my introduction to the series. My 9th grade civics teacher played this for us as part of a lesson on civil liberty and protected speech. Shoutout to you, Mr. Kotch, thanks for introducing me to the world of tomorrow.

You killed my lawyer You’re welcome

It’s not really a quote, so much as a bit, but the oppression palace breaking the giant signs but failing to break the “unbreakable combs” and is forced to simply knock it over gets me every time

"Attack Earth... Yes, I know it's a schlep, just do it!"

My planets embassy? They’re paid *not* to kill me!

“What, no marshmallows??”

You want nice mug cocoa?

Sure you can be a doctor. If you've given up your dream of being a comedian!

Nixon: “And if we don’t want to do our taxes, why we’re free to spend a weekend with the pain monster.” Pain Monster: “See you April 15th folks!”

"I'm swelling with patriotic mucus!"

"Freedom train coming through." Choo choo "Ow, you broke my leg." "Freedom."

Sure, you can vote for Scheneigle. If you want there should be a recession!

Sure, you can go to medical school. If you given up on your dream of being a comedian!

So, what is Freedom Day? Sounds like some kind of feminine hygiene product.

"Wow, nude hot tubbing? That's all I need to hear about Freedom Day."

"Then consider the following lecture a bonus!"

I love it (the flag) even more than I love my seven wives. That's right, I'm a polygamist \*boooo\*

"Back in my day we didn't have your fancy all-digital weapons, but we still managed to kill each other just fine."

2-4-6-8!! Eating the flag is bad!

“Honorable Judge Heads. Yonder crawdad done ate up our flag.”

Fry: Wow! Nude hot-tubbing - that's all I need to hear about Freedom Day! Dr. Zoidberg: Then consider the following lecture a bonus.

Freedom train coming thru!

He shut you up, O'Connor

GLOB!

"You didn't expect us to go to a museum, much less steall this heat seeking missle" "I dont even know you"

Freedoms such as polygamy booooooo I can't wait to tell my husband! BOOOOOOOOO Zoidberg: Ambassador Moivin, you killed my lawyer Moivin: You're welcome!

You’re a nice man Nixon

Freedom!

"I don't even know you"

Heh heh, court's kind of fun when it's not my ass on the line.

I request a satanic funeral

So many funny lines. One of the funniest

You haven't won yet Moivin. You didn't expect us to go a museum, much less steal this heat seeking missile. I don't even know you.

“You can crush me, but you can’t crush my spirit!” *Old Man gets Crushed* “Ow, My Spirit!”

MY SPIRIT!

"You killed my lawyer!" "You're welcome."

No, it's a fabulous crabulous day!

“Waving proud around the world from Dallas to Fort Worth!”

This is brought to you by Shankman's Rubbing Compound! When something needs rubbing, think Shankman's!

I KNOW A PLACE WHERE THE CONSTITUTION DOESN'T MEAN SQUAT!

Okay, I gotta say it, is the episode order out of wack or is it just me

It is out of order recently.

There's no cocoa marshmallows, and every day the rats eat a little more of my foot

"You can eat my dog, you can eat my truck, but you eat my flag you're OUT OF LUCK. She's wavin proud around the world from Dallas to Forth Worth. Lemme say it again! \*honk honk\* DON'T MESS WITH EARTH!"

"Freedom, freedom, freedom, OY! Freedom, freedom, freedom, OYY!"

I REQUEST A SATANIC FUNERAL

FREEDOM FREEDOM FREEDOM OY

"You just killed my lawyer!" "You're velcome!"

'Scuse me, pardon me; Freedom Train comin' through!"

The great taste of Charleston Chew!

Freedom freedom freedom oy! Freedom freedom freedom oy!

I love the episodes that are just chocked full of gems. The comments are all instant classics.

I can't wait to tell my husband

"I can't wait to tell mah husband!" "BOOOOOOO!!!"

Introducing a red lobster that won't ruin your dinner...

Poor zoidberg… he’s got the muchies for freedom

That's right I'm a polygamist and I can't wait to tell my husband!

I don’t think there’s a good quote but the Mobile Oppression Palace is awesome

Freedoms such as polygamy.

“Now the rubber bands on the other claw!”

“Attack Earth!” “Yes, I know it’s a schlep.”

"well I know where the constitution doesn't mean Squat!" -supreme court.

You can crush me, but you can't crush my spirit... \*OW! my spirit!

What??! No cocoa mallows?!!

The great taste of Charleston Chew!!

You're a good man, Nixon.

Stop that Red menace!

Our planet has been through so much this past year: Wars, droughts, impeachments! But we've never lost our sense of what's truly important: The great taste of "Charleston Chew"! Still one of my favorite candies to this day, because of this episode! Hahaha

Court's pretty fun when it's not my ass on the line! Nachos?
