Best joke in an episode that felt a little thin with them.  It's a little depressing to read the entire episode as an allegory for Futurama's resurrection.  Really, Futurama writers?  The fans who got you your jobs back are grave-robbers?

Well this is certainly timely for you:

Is it possible your alarm clock sounds like the Price Is Right theme in any way?

In sixth grade I was walking through the hallway of my middle school around 4:30 PM, long after most everyone had gone home, and I was talking aloud to myself about something (no idea what, something trivial I'm sure).  As I came around the corner, I ran almost right into my Latin teacher, who said loudly "Talking to

The Orbital album would do that to me.  I used to listen to it when I took a nap in college (which was often… it was college) and now it has a Pavlovian, soporific effect on me.

Shit, I forgot one:

Freaks

Once I used Nahal's Reckless Dweomer to cast Kanye's Cone of Blissful Silence.  But the resulting wild surge summoned a trio of banshees who wailed "Can't Tell Me Nothing" until our cleric made his Fortitude save and crushed them with his mace of disintegration +1.  Fucking ridiculous.

Have you read the original testimony from the girl Polanski raped?  You might lose your sympathy for him if you do.

*shudder*

Or the Rush song of the same name?

The scene where he wakes up in the hospital bed and has a loving moment with his family and then that horrible voice that only he can hear just says "DREAM ON…"  God damn I have chills just thinking about it.
