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

[-] Testuserplsignore@lemm.ee 50 points 7 months ago

And since when is Krieger repulsive?

[-] TerrificTadpole@lemmy.world 54 points 7 months ago

I can fix him

[-] dominoko@kbin.social 27 points 7 months ago

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

[-] SatansMaggotyCumFart@lemmy.world 7 points 7 months ago

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

[-] Trashboat@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 7 months ago

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

[-] surewhynotlem@lemmy.world 24 points 7 months ago

Many of us are not a fan of his gimp suit

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 7 months ago

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

[-] c0mbatbag3l@lemmy.world 24 points 7 months ago

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

[-] HappycamperNZ@lemmy.world 16 points 7 months ago

You could also argue general sluttyness for both.

[-] milkisklim@lemm.ee 13 points 7 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.

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 7 months ago

Planet Express News and Information Services!

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

[-] GladiusB@lemmy.world 5 points 7 months ago

Are we still doing phrasing?

[-] marcos@lemmy.world 7 points 7 months 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 7 months ago

Archer has a lot more intentional violence

[-] marcos@lemmy.world 4 points 7 months ago

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

[-] bane_killgrind@lemmy.ml 3 points 7 months ago

Preprogrammed kill limit

[-] NENathaniel@lemmy.ca 41 points 7 months ago

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

[-] ringwraithfish@kbin.social 56 points 7 months ago

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!

[-] SerpentPeaked@lemmynsfw.com 31 points 7 months ago

Unlike Zoidberg, Krieger is not the medical kind of doctor.

[-] ubluntu@kbin.social 55 points 7 months ago

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]

[-] ThatWeirdGuy1001@lemmy.world 11 points 7 months ago

Yeah but at least zoidberg is an expert at xenobiology. He can dissect and diagnose pretty much anything that's not human.

[-] Meho_Nohome@sh.itjust.works 12 points 7 months ago

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

[-] ThatWeirdGuy1001@lemmy.world 4 points 7 months ago

Debatable but fair

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

[-] RGB3x3@lemmy.world 6 points 7 months ago

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.

[-] cavvema@lemmy.world 5 points 7 months ago

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

[-] crackajack@reddthat.com 15 points 7 months ago

Hermes is way a more confident man than Cyril.

[-] ryathal@sh.itjust.works 7 points 7 months ago
[-] Buddahriffic@lemmy.world 8 points 7 months ago

Cyril is pretty competent but Archer is his kryptonite.

[-] crackajack@reddthat.com 4 points 7 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!

[-] qarbone@lemmy.world 14 points 7 months ago

I cannot believe Amy is lower level than Fry.

[-] MisterCreamyShits@lemm.ee 8 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

First Bender then Flexo the Fry.

[-] bronzle@lemm.ee 4 points 7 months ago

Let’s just go alphabetically

[-] sonorangirl@mander.xyz 2 points 7 months ago

First Bender, then Flexo, then Fry

This fits so incredibly well

[-] some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 10 points 7 months ago

This is pretty spot on.

[-] TimewornTraveler@lemm.ee 9 points 7 months ago

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

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

[-] Stoneykins@mander.xyz 6 points 7 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 7 months ago

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

[-] ringwraithfish@kbin.social 1 points 7 months 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 9 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months 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.
