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

[–] Testuserplsignore@lemm.ee 48 points 11 months ago (4 children)

And since when is Krieger repulsive?

[–] TerrificTadpole@lemmy.world 50 points 11 months ago

I can fix him

[–] surewhynotlem@lemmy.world 22 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Many of us are not a fan of his gimp suit

[–] DragonTypeWyvern 1 points 11 months ago

Plus all the evil science...

[–] GladiusB@lemmy.world 11 points 11 months ago

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.

[–] DrPop@lemmy.one 16 points 11 months ago

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

[–] c0mbatbag3l@lemmy.world 23 points 11 months ago

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

[–] HappycamperNZ@lemmy.world 15 points 11 months ago

You could also argue general sluttyness for both.

[–] milkisklim@lemm.ee 13 points 11 months 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 75 points 11 months ago (2 children)

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 14 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Planet Express News and Information Services!

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

[–] GladiusB@lemmy.world 5 points 11 months ago

Are we still doing phrasing?

[–] marcos@lemmy.world 7 points 11 months 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.

[–] Rozz@lemmy.sdf.org 8 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Archer has a lot more intentional violence

[–] marcos@lemmy.world 4 points 11 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] bane_killgrind@lemmy.ml 3 points 11 months ago

Preprogrammed kill limit

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

[–] BroBot9000@lemmy.world 21 points 11 months ago

Okay, look, Hermes, we got to think of the boy. He needs a daddy.

He has a daddy!

No, he got two half-daddies!

[–] tigeruppercut@lemmy.zip 22 points 11 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] cavvema@lemmy.world 5 points 11 months ago

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

[–] qarbone@lemmy.world 15 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I cannot believe Amy is lower level than Fry.

[–] MisterCreamyShits@lemm.ee 9 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) (1 children)

First Bender then Flexo the Fry.

[–] bronzle@lemm.ee 4 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Let’s just go alphabetically

[–] sonorangirl@mander.xyz 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

First Bender, then Flexo, then Fry

[–] MisterCreamyShits@lemm.ee 1 points 11 months ago

First bender the flexi then fry

[–] crackajack@reddthat.com 15 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Hermes is way a more confident man than Cyril.

[–] ryathal@sh.itjust.works 7 points 11 months ago (1 children)
[–] Buddahriffic@lemmy.world 8 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Cyril is pretty competent but Archer is his kryptonite.

[–] crackajack@reddthat.com 4 points 11 months 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!

This fits so incredibly well

[–] some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 10 points 11 months ago

This is pretty spot on.

[–] TimewornTraveler@lemm.ee 9 points 11 months ago

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

[–] Stoneykins@mander.xyz 6 points 11 months 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 11 months ago

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