His best known part on Futurama is probably Morbo the news monster.

Whenever I think of Maurice on Futurama, I think of the son of Mom from "Mom's Old-Fashioned Robot Oil". He basically uses the same voice as the Brain.


p.s. In case you hadn't heard, Maurice LaMarche was also the voice of The Brain on Pinky and the Brain.

and Silica absorbs moisture...

Fon't forget he was also the "Brain" from Pinky and the Brain!

 

[JayV]

Seriously, though, some of you may not be aware of this, but Maurice LaMarche played The Brain on Pinky and the Brain.

I can't emphasize this enough.

I remember once I saw Maurice LaMarche's name in the credits on Pinky and the Brain. Anyone know who he played?

 

[Ike]

Brain.

 

[Wayne Bundrick]

Brain: Pinky, are you pondering what I'm pondering?

Pinky: I think so Brain, but why do you sound like Maurice LaMarche?

 

[Tony Whalen]

Maurice LaMarche??? Hey! Wasn't he the voice of Brain???



..anyone have any salsa to go with my silica chips?

Now if TNN would only air at the proper times......

Stripperella and Sten/Rimpy both got cut by 10 minutes on my PVR because they were running late.

Luckily I caught a repeat, but the original airing got the last bit cut off on my ReplayTV as well :frowning:

Tonight's episode (Cheapo) was even better than last week's. I think Stripperella's strength is largely that it knows when to play material straight. If they had tried to make jokes about the father watching his daughter strip, it would have come off weird and unfunny, but played straight and letting the situation be funny by itself was hilarious.

 

[Ray Chuang]

Dan,

I thought Cheapo was one of the most hilarious villains I've seen in a LONG time. His penchant for trying to collect change as much as possible made me laugh out loud much of the time. Cheapo and his henchmen are definitely major parodies of all the villains we saw on the old Batman TV series from the 1960's, complete with Cheapo ordering his henchmen to take on Striperella!

If you think of Striperella as a major satire on American culture and superhero shows, it is one wickedly funny show.

 

[Wayne Bundrick]

Having missed the end of the first episode, I adjusted my TiVo to pad an extra 5 minutes, and that still wasn't enough. I scheduled the repeat and I padded it 15 minutes. Kiss my ass TNN!

 

[MarkHastings]

Wayne, I'm starting to agree with you. My ReplayTV didn't even tape Stripperella OR Ren & Stimpy (it said "Could tune to channel). I remember a couple times I noticed TNN was all snow. I told a bunch of people to tune in Sunday at 8 to see the "Most Extreme Challenge" and they all said there was snow as well.

What the hell???

 

[Dan Rudolph]

Wayne, for Batman references, don't forget the museum full of giant items.

"10 minutes to penny disintegration..."

Do you think they'll eventually release these on DVD without the pixelated censorship?

Do you think they'll eventually release these on DVD without the pixelated censorship?

It's probably done by the creators, like the bleeps on South Park.

Did anyone else recognize the voice of Stan Lee in this episode? He was the old guy who invented the cell phone. "And it weighs only ten pounds!"

 

[Dan Rudolph]

Sorry, Wayne. i guess it was the name that got me.

I liked the wire-cutter gag. Unfortunately the majority of the jokes so far are misses, IMHO. Cheapo was an excellent villain though.

Line of the night:
"Now there's only one thing that can get in our way!"
"Logic?"
