* Zapp Brannigan can be so dumb, he even confuses himself with his troll logic. In "[[Recap/FuturamaS2E2BranniganBeginAgain Brannigan, Begin Again]]", he accuses Leela of plotting to assassinate the Yarn People of Nylon 4 with giant novelty scissors, gloating that, "you made one mistake, rock, smashes scissors! But... paper covers rock... And scissors cuts paper...."

Catchphrase is an index. Moving examples to the appropriate tropes


* Farnsworth has a nefarious habit of this as well. Given that he's Fry's descended nephew, [[JustifiedTrope it makes sense]]. To him, having his crew being sent on tedious and life-threatening suicide missions is "good news [[{{Catchphrase}} (everyone!)]]". When they are finally given a break at the beginning of "The Sting" by not having to go on ''the very mission that killed the previous Planet Express crew'', Farnsworth tells them "Bad news, everyone! You're not good enough to go on our next mission!"

-->'''Morgan Proctor:''' Why isn't this jacket in alphabetical order?\\
'''Leela:''' What?!\\
'''Morgan:''' The zipper. It should be at the bottom.
* And then there's this little saying:
-->'''Fry:''' Thanks to denial, I'm immortal.

-->'''Waterfall Sr.''': Now, now, no applause. Every time you clap your hands, you kill thousands of spores, which will someday form into nutritious fungus. Just show your appreciation with a mold-friendly thumbs-up.\\
''(Members of Penguins, Unlimited do so with awkward grins)''\\
'''Waterfall, Sr.''': Please, hold your thumbs til the end.

* In "[[Recap/FuturamaS3E6BendlessLove Bendless Love]]", Bender suspects girlfriend Anglelyne of harboring feelings for her ex, Flexo, a bending model robot that looks almost exactly like Bender. Bender disguises himself as Flexo and seduces Anglelyne using some decidedly un-Flexo-like moves, then reveals the ruse and angrily accuses her of loving Flexo so much that she even loves "anyone pretending to be him." She replies that maybe she just loves ''Bender'' so much that she'll love him no matter who he's pretending to be.
-->'''Bender:''' Oh, how I wish I could believe or understand that!
