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

[-] Testuserplsignore@lemm.ee 47 points 1 year ago

And since when is Krieger repulsive?

[-] TerrificTadpole@lemmy.world 51 points 1 year ago

I can fix him

[-] dominoko@kbin.social 25 points 1 year ago

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

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

[-] Trashboat 6 points 1 year ago

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

[-] surewhynotlem@lemmy.world 22 points 1 year ago

Many of us are not a fan of his gimp suit

Plus all the evil science...

[-] gregorum@lemm.ee 41 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year 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 16 points 1 year ago

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

[-] c0mbatbag3l@lemmy.world 23 points 1 year ago

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

[-] milkisklim@lemm.ee 12 points 1 year ago

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

She's still a ditz, even if she's supposedly a genius which always seemed out of character to me.

[-] AstridWipenaugh@lemmy.world 77 points 1 year ago

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 13 points 1 year ago

Planet Express News and Information Services!

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

[-] marcos@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year 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 1 year ago

Archer has a lot more intentional violence

[-] marcos@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

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

[-] bane_killgrind@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 year ago

Preprogrammed kill limit

[-] NENathaniel@lemmy.ca 40 points 1 year ago

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

[-] ringwraithfish@kbin.social 55 points 1 year ago

When it comes to his wife and Barbados Slim he is.

[-] Steve@startrek.website 3 points 1 year ago

So hes a cuck

[-] dumples@kbin.social 24 points 1 year ago

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

[-] RGB3x3@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

He performs the same functions for Planet Express.

Different terms for the same character job.

[-] dumples@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

Does he though? We see Hermes, filing, holding meetings, firing and hiring people. He basically is running the business for the professor as well as stamping some forms. We don't ever see or hear of him doing anything with accounting or balancing the books.

[-] RGB3x3@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

He's always showing off graphs about the profitability (or lack thereof) of Planet Express. He pulls quad duty as HR, finance, safety, and general demoralizer.

[-] tigeruppercut@lemmy.zip 22 points 1 year ago

Hey, Pam and Bender occasionally work. At least once. One work.

[-] cavvema@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

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

[-] qarbone@lemmy.world 14 points 1 year ago

I cannot believe Amy is lower level than Fry.

[-] MisterCreamyShits@lemm.ee 8 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

First Bender then Flexo the Fry.

[-] bronzle@lemm.ee 4 points 1 year ago

Let’s just go alphabetically

[-] sonorangirl@mander.xyz 2 points 1 year ago

First Bender, then Flexo, then Fry

[-] MisterCreamyShits@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

First bender the flexi then fry

This fits so incredibly well

[-] some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 11 points 1 year ago

This is pretty spot on.

[-] TimewornTraveler@lemm.ee 9 points 1 year ago

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

[-] ringwraithfish@kbin.social 7 points 1 year ago

Also, both are ambiguous with what time they're set in: Futurama in the future, Archer likely in the 60s/70s, but both constantly referencing current events and technology.

[-] takeda@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I think archer is set up at current time, as for Futurama it is inspired by current events to make it more relatable. Though the last season (on Hulu) feels like it was done by the writers out of laziness. Not sure if they got paid less, or expected it to flop, but feels like less effort was put than usual. Though I did love the last episode, I guess because it was written by David X. Cohen and he didn't do the same.

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

[-] Stoneykins@mander.xyz 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.

[-] Colour_me_triggered@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago

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