NTM when Fry does the "Nasty in the pasty."

Ah yes, the immunity to the brain rays. Also from that particular episode "Oh so now we're obeying the laws of causality Mr 'I'm my own grampa'!"

That's something that is cool (and somewhat creepy) about Fry: he gets laid. He's done it with Amy Wong, that Bureaucrat with the Dirt Fetish, several giant Amazons, his own grandmother, Leela in the "What If? machine" reality... and very nearly with Edna the Lobster (though he spurns her "If I was going to do it with a big freaky mudbug, you'd be at the top of the list!").

Seriously folks, I have a simple math equation to solve this little problem.

Futurama > Family Guy

See? Now everything is all better.

Futurama also has the potential to stir genuine emotion. I damn near cry like a little girl every time that episode with Fry's dog is on.

I cried during 'Luck of the Fryish' when the last flashback plays.

Family Guy never made me do that.

The one where Fry finds his old dog from the 20th century perfectly preserved or something, and the professor says that they can clone him.

For some reason or another, that plan goes to hell, and Fry comes to the conclusion that it's probably for the best since his dog probably moved on and had a whole 'nother life without him.

The final scene is a flashback showing that the dog actually waited in front of the Pizza place at which Fry worked until the day it died.

EDIT: Wow. I realized I just completely misread what Gandalf wrote.

No. Luck of the Fryish is the one where Fry goes on a quest to find his lucky 7 leaf clover that he left in the 20th century. He discovers that after his disappearance, his brother steals it, and becomes a huge success (first man on mars etc.). In addition to stealing his good luck charm (supposedly out of spite), he stole Fry's name as well. So Fry and co. go to his brother's space-grave to get it back....only to discover that Fry's brother actually went on to live a normal life and named his son Fry in honor of his beloved brother and gave him the clover.

I remember that, I was so depressed.
