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

[-] Testuserplsignore@lemm.ee 48 points 10 months ago

And since when is Krieger repulsive?

[-] TerrificTadpole@lemmy.world 53 points 10 months ago

I can fix him

[-] dominoko@kbin.social 26 points 10 months ago

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

[-] SatansMaggotyCumFart@lemmy.world 7 points 10 months ago

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

[-] Trashboat@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 10 months ago

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

[-] surewhynotlem@lemmy.world 24 points 10 months ago

Many of us are not a fan of his gimp suit

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

[-] gregorum@lemm.ee 40 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

While Amy is an actual physicist, it’s unclear whether Cheryl is an idiot or insane. I mean, she’s certainly insane, but that can make say and do things that come off as incredibly  stupid. At times, though, she appears to be quite intelligent and well-educated.

[-] DrPop@lemmy.one 15 points 10 months ago

Cheryl/Carol of an explosive expert so there's that.

[-] c0mbatbag3l@lemmy.world 23 points 10 months ago

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

[-] HappycamperNZ@lemmy.world 16 points 10 months ago

You could also argue general sluttyness for both.

[-] milkisklim@lemm.ee 12 points 10 months ago

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

[-] MickeySwitcherooney@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 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!

[-] WhiskyTangoFoxtrot@lemmy.world 14 points 10 months ago

Planet Express News and Information Services!

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

[-] GladiusB@lemmy.world 5 points 10 months ago

Are we still doing phrasing?

[-] marcos@lemmy.world 7 points 10 months ago

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

[-] Rozz@lemmy.sdf.org 8 points 10 months ago

Archer has a lot more intentional violence

[-] marcos@lemmy.world 4 points 10 months ago

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

[-] bane_killgrind@lemmy.ml 3 points 10 months ago

Preprogrammed kill limit

[-] NENathaniel@lemmy.ca 38 points 10 months ago

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

[-] ringwraithfish@kbin.social 54 points 10 months ago

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!

[-] SerpentPeaked@lemmynsfw.com 31 points 10 months ago

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

[-] ubluntu@kbin.social 55 points 10 months ago

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]

[-] ThatWeirdGuy1001@lemmy.world 11 points 10 months ago

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

[-] Meho_Nohome@sh.itjust.works 12 points 10 months ago

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

[-] ThatWeirdGuy1001@lemmy.world 4 points 10 months ago

Debatable but fair

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

[-] RGB3x3@lemmy.world 6 points 10 months ago

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.

[-] cavvema@lemmy.world 5 points 10 months ago

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

[-] qarbone@lemmy.world 15 points 10 months ago

I cannot believe Amy is lower level than Fry.

[-] MisterCreamyShits@lemm.ee 9 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

First Bender then Flexo the Fry.

[-] bronzle@lemm.ee 4 points 10 months ago

Let’s just go alphabetically

[-] sonorangirl@mander.xyz 2 points 10 months ago

First Bender, then Flexo, then Fry

Hermes is way a more confident man than Cyril.

[-] ryathal@sh.itjust.works 7 points 10 months ago
[-] Buddahriffic@lemmy.world 8 points 10 months ago

Cyril is pretty competent but Archer is his kryptonite.

[-] crackajack@reddthat.com 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!

[-] The_Picard_Maneuver@startrek.website 10 points 10 months ago

This fits so incredibly well

[-] some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 10 points 10 months ago

This is pretty spot on.

[-] TimewornTraveler@lemm.ee 8 points 10 months ago

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

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

[-] Stoneykins@mander.xyz 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.

[-] Colour_me_triggered@lemm.ee 3 points 10 months ago

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