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?

[–] TerrificTadpole 54 points 1 year ago

I can fix him

[–] [email protected] 27 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[–] SatansMaggotyCumFart 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

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

[–] surewhynotlem 24 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Many of us are not a fan of his gimp suit

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

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.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 year ago

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

[–] c0mbatbag3l 24 points 1 year ago

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

[–] HappycamperNZ 16 points 1 year ago

You could also argue general sluttyness for both.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 year ago

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

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year 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 14 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Planet Express News and Information Services!

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

[–] GladiusB 5 points 1 year ago

Are we still doing phrasing?

[–] marcos 7 points 1 year 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 1 year ago (1 children)

Archer has a lot more intentional violence

[–] marcos 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Preprogrammed kill limit

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

[–] [email protected] 56 points 1 year 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 1 year 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]

[–] ThatWeirdGuy1001 11 points 1 year 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.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[–] ThatWeirdGuy1001 4 points 1 year ago

Debatable but fair

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

[–] RGB3x3 6 points 1 year 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.

[–] cavvema 5 points 1 year ago

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

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

Hermes is way a more confident man than Cyril.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)
[–] Buddahriffic 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Cyril is pretty competent but Archer is his kryptonite.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year 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!

[–] qarbone 15 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I cannot believe Amy is lower level than Fry.

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

First Bender then Flexo the Fry.

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

Let’s just go alphabetically

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

First Bender, then Flexo, then Fry

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

First bender the flexi then fry

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 year ago

This fits so incredibly well

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago

This is pretty spot on.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago

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

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

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

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year 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 1 year ago

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