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?

[–] [email protected] 54 points 2 years ago

I can fix him

[–] [email protected] 27 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 years ago

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

[–] [email protected] 24 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Many of us are not a fan of his gimp suit

Plus all the evil science...

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 2 years ago

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

[–] [email protected] 24 points 2 years ago

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

[–] [email protected] 16 points 2 years ago

You could also argue general sluttyness for both.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 2 years ago

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

[–] MickeySwitcherooney 7 points 2 years 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!

[–] [email protected] 14 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Planet Express News and Information Services!

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

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago

Are we still doing phrasing?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 years 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 2 years ago (1 children)

Archer has a lot more intentional violence

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

Preprogrammed kill limit

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

[–] [email protected] 56 points 2 years 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 2 years 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]

[–] [email protected] 11 points 2 years 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 2 years ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

Debatable but fair

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

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 years 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.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago

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

[–] [email protected] 15 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I cannot believe Amy is lower level than Fry.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

First Bender then Flexo the Fry.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Let’s just go alphabetically

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

First Bender, then Flexo, then Fry

Hermes is way a more confident man than Cyril.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 years ago (1 children)
[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Cyril is pretty competent but Archer is his kryptonite.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years 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!

[–] [email protected] 11 points 2 years ago

This fits so incredibly well

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 years ago

This is pretty spot on.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 years ago

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

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 years ago

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

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 years ago

I accept the descriptions as technically true but...

The only two that feel similar are leela and lana. Everyone else is real stretch.
