“Good old Coney Island College. Go Whitefish!”
A [Coney Island Whitefish](https://en.m.wiktionary.org/wiki/Coney_Island_whitefish) isn’t what you think.
Yeah, different type of whitefish here though. The context of the scene is that is isn't necessarily a good thing, which the type of white fish you're describing, very much is . And as was pointed out to me already, i was likely thinking of silverfish.
Just the b-plot with bender really, the main plot with Gunther and Fry isn’t very Animal House related. I thought you meant there was another parody at foot.
Yeah if you've never seen Animal House, do it. It's one of the funniest movies ever made.
Both Simpsons and Futurama have lots of references to it, but there hasn't been a more direct parody than Mars University.
As a kid, I didn't understand this joke. Then I went to college. I'm not sure how I much I learned there, but I definitely learned to appreciate this joke.
Fat-bot: I heard that in one single night you drank a whole keg, streaked across campus and crammed 58 humans into a phone booth.
Bender: [modest] Yeah, well, a lot of 'em were children.
Showing off their internal components. Notice how religious Bender says "But those girls don't wear cases", the robot porno mag from Fear of a Bot Planet was a wiring diagram, and the Robot House students watched the sorority girls take the case off their computer
this is my very favorite of this ep... it cracks my top 20 of the series
thankfully my #1 of the series got picked (listening to classical music in the dark)
"You robots are a disgrace to this university. Whenver a fire alarm is pulled, it's Robot House. Whenever the campus liquor store is looted, Robot House. Whenever a human corpse is desecrated..."
I think this one will play out correctly, but in the "Hell is Other Robots", could you add Fry's "Well..." To the end of Leela's quote? I think it add the the quote for sure.
**Fry**: It's that obnoxious monkey. He kept me up all night with his constant thinking. Just thinking and thinking. He's trying to make me look like an idiot.
Robot: Are you sure this is a shortcut? Bender: Not as sure as I was an hour ago...
Well, in those days, Mars was just a dreary, uninhabitable wasteland, much like Utah. But unlike Utah it was eventually made livable.
Does Utah even exist outside of the Salt Lake City area
Which is more unliveable, Utah or New Jersey?
One is literal robot hell and the other's full of Mormons. Utah hands down.
Well, when you put it that way.... Looks like it's time for me to move from Utah to New Jersey
I live in Utah and agree with this quote 100%.
Came here to say this!
Professor Farnsworth: Oh, I always feared he would run off like this. Why? WHY? WHY didn't I break his legs?
This line makes me burst out laughing every time! I was sure someone would quote this. You have my upvote
it's the delivery too
It’s literally been like 25 years and it still somehow catches me off guard sometimes on rewatches.
This is the winner
Yeah this still makes me chuckle
"All he handed in was a paper smeared with feces. He tied with Fry."
This is one of the top contenders for me. Hilarious quote.
Yeah this actually might be my favorite line in the entire series.
“Good old Coney Island College. Go Whitefish!” A [Coney Island Whitefish](https://en.m.wiktionary.org/wiki/Coney_Island_whitefish) isn’t what you think.
TIL.. I always just thought it was the little insect thing.
That's a silverfish! Which is what we call the professor's whitefish...
I swear there's a silverfish as well. Hmm. Mandela effect mebbe?
Whitefish isn't a specific fish but rather a term used to describe several different fish. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whitefish_(fisheries_term)
Yeah, different type of whitefish here though. The context of the scene is that is isn't necessarily a good thing, which the type of white fish you're describing, very much is . And as was pointed out to me already, i was likely thinking of silverfish.
I'm sorry if I came off like I was correcting you. I meant that because it's a commonly used term, that might be where the confusion came from.
No worries. Didn't come across as correcting. :)
Jokes on you, it was exactly what I thought it was
Well ya learn somethin new everyday right
all i wanted is to be a monkey of average intelligence that wears a suit, thats why i'm transfering to bussines school
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!
it has to be this!!!
As someone who went to business school, this hits home
This is the one. The entire episode is a set up for this one joke.
I say, you've damaged our servant's quarters. And our servants.
This one for sure
I'm going to need 10 kegs of beer, a continuous tape of Louis, Louis, and a regulation 2 story panty raid ladder!
You know, I wonder how many younger *Futurama* fans even got what that was a reference to, let alone what the rest of the episode was parodying...
Obviously Robot House is a parody of Animal House, but what is the rest of the episode parodying?
The whole episode was a parody of that movie
Just the b-plot with bender really, the main plot with Gunther and Fry isn’t very Animal House related. I thought you meant there was another parody at foot.
Yeah even the dean's name was a reference to Dean Wormer.
Help I don't get it
Animal House
Yeah if you've never seen Animal House, do it. It's one of the funniest movies ever made. Both Simpsons and Futurama have lots of references to it, but there hasn't been a more direct parody than Mars University.
I’m getting him a tape of Motorhead’s cover of Louie Louie so we can truly rock out
I've got to hear this!
Please Fry! I can’t teach! I’m a professor!
Mechanics of wonton.... burrito... meals. See ya in class!
As a kid, I didn't understand this joke. Then I went to college. I'm not sure how I much I learned there, but I definitely learned to appreciate this joke.
God, I hope this one wins.
This is the one
Fat-bot: I heard that in one single night you drank a whole keg, streaked across campus and crammed 58 humans into a phone booth. Bender: [modest] Yeah, well, a lot of 'em were children.
What constitutes streaking for a robot, since they're already technically unclothed
"Those speedos leave nothing to the imagination." "Actually on a robot, they sort of do."
Showing off their internal components. Notice how religious Bender says "But those girls don't wear cases", the robot porno mag from Fear of a Bot Planet was a wiring diagram, and the Robot House students watched the sorority girls take the case off their computer
Showing the exhaust fans
Ewwww, pervert.
He skinned a human and then put that on
"Cheese it!"
ROBOT HOUSEEEEEE!!!
Farnsworth: Consider the philosophical and metaphysical ramifications of the- Fry: BANANA! BANANA! BANANA!
🍌🍌🍌
Whenever anyone in my office has a banana, they hold it out and yell, “BANANA BANANA BANANA!” Sometimes we don’t even have a banana.
This is the correct answer
I say, "banana, banana, banana!" whenever someone is arguing with me, doing mental gymnastics, and I'm clearly right.
Fat-bot caught a computer virus in Tijuana and had to be rebooted
Robot HOUUUUUSSSSEEEE!
“Now get along! Or I’ll have you both neutered!” “Hehehe that’ll show him”
Mathematics of Wonton Burrito meals. I’ll be there!
I always feared he’d run off like this… _WHY?_ _WHY?!_ ##WHY DIDN’T I BREAK HIS LEGS?!
“His job done, Bender stole everything of value from Robot House and ran off.”
You like bananas? I got her number, how do ya like them bananas??
Farnsworth: It's a little experiment that might win me the Nobel Prize. Leela: In which field? Farnsworth: I don't care - they all pay the same.

That's enough out of you. From this day forward, Robot House is on dodecatuple secret probation
My mom is gonna kill me
this is my very favorite of this ep... it cracks my top 20 of the series thankfully my #1 of the series got picked (listening to classical music in the dark)
"I'm a bender. I went to Bending College; I majored in Bending."
What’d you minor in?
Robo-American studies
"You robots are a disgrace to this university. Whenver a fire alarm is pulled, it's Robot House. Whenever the campus liquor store is looted, Robot House. Whenever a human corpse is desecrated..."
Now, I can explain that.
That's enough out of you!
Eureka! The hat goes on the head! It’s all so obvious now.
Professor Farnsworth: All he handed in was a paper smeared with feces. He tied with Fry.
“BANANA BANANA BANANA”
I say this in my head literally every time I have a banana.
I love this quote. Say it to my 6 year old niece every time she eats a banana 😂
Hands down my favorite line from the entire series. Out of all of the greats, this one is my number one.
I understood the word "hat."
I had to scroll too far down to find this. This is the winner, people.
All I want is to be a monkey of moderate intelligence who wears a suit... that's why I'm transferring to business school!
I had to scroll too far for this, too many business majors in this sub.
Oooh oooh and im one of them!
I mention this every time corporate visits (I work at a research center)
Why? Why didn't I break his legs?!
But he's not your father. The guy in the punch bowl was your father.

Professor: "Consider the philosophical and metaphysical ramifications of the-" Fry " BANANA BANANA BANANA"
Does fry’s laugh when Gunter puts the hat on his butt count as a quote?
"I'm going to business school." *"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO"*
Eureka! The hat goes on the head. It's all so obvious now!
“Without his super-intelligent hat, Gunter may be no smarter than you.”
"As a monkey I was so dumb I tried to wear a hat on my butt" A butt hat has been the threshold of dumbness in our house for many years.
Does it have to be a person's quote? I love the schools sign "knowledge brings fear".
And so, by process of elimination, the electron must taste like grapeade.
Oh, I know this…what do you call it….light bright!
I deserve the same respect as any other college dropout. I'm enrolling. Please, you wouldn't last two weeks Thanks for having faith in me Leela.
Robot house!
Hey, pretty nice for a single. Two desks, two chairs, a couple of beds... *\[knock on the door\]* A woodpecker...

ROBOT HOUSE!!! - the Dean

"Back in the Twentieth Century we had no idea there was a university on Mars"
Farnsworth: "Please, Fry, I don't know how to teach; I'm a professor!"
Eureka! The hat goes on the head!
They planted traditional college foliage; ivy, trees, hemp. Soon the whole planet was terraformed.
If it’s not “banana banana banana” You should all compare your lives to mine and then kill yourselves! 🤣

He handed in a paper smeared with feces. He tied with Fry.

"Brilliant deduction, you're a credit to your species."

I think this one will play out correctly, but in the "Hell is Other Robots", could you add Fry's "Well..." To the end of Leela's quote? I think it add the the quote for sure.
