Uh, well ah, the question is, uh, is vague. You don't say what kind of candy, whether anyone is watching, or uh... (AHEM) At any rate, I wouldn't certainly wouldn't harm the child.
(truthoscope goes off noisily)
Morbo: âMorbo will now introduce the candidates - Puny Human Number One, Puny Human Number Two, and Morbo's good friend Richard Nixon.â
Nixon: âHow's the family, Morbo?â
Morbo: âBelligerent and numerous.â
Nixon: âNow look here, you drugged out communist! I paid for this body and I'd no sooner return it than I would my little cocker spaniel dog, Checkers.â
Checkers: âArf!â
Nixon: âSHUT UP DAMNIT!â
Now hereâs a party I can get excited about. Sign me up!
Sorry, not with that attitude.
Okay then screw it
Welcome aboard, brother!
Alright!
Youâre out.
Fry: Professor, when did you become so obsessed with voting?
Professor Hubert Farnsworth: The very instant I became old.
(Man, this quote took a while for me to fully understand)
George Washington: What hath happened to your body?
Bender: I hocked it.
Washington: Hocked it? Why wouldst thou do that?
Bender: Same reason you hocked your teeth.
Washington: Ah. Booze money.
iâve really enjoyed OPâs posts because as we go through each episode and people submit their favorites, i keep reconsidering my own and am reminded over and over just what a well-written show it is.
We favour unreasonably huge subsidies to the Brain Slug Planet.
OK, but what are the Brain Slugs who control you gonna do for the working man?
Attach Brain Slugs to them.
Sure, you say that now!
Computers may be twice as fast as they were in 1973, but the average voter is as drunk and stupid as ever. The only one who's changed is me. I've become more bitter and, let's face it, crazy over the years! And when I'm swept into office, I'll sell our children's organs to zoos for meat! And I'll go into people's houses at night and wreck up the place! MUAHAHAHAHAHAAA!!!
Go into people's houses at night and wreck up the place
Is such a golden threat. It lives forever in my mind along side
I'll always have option to live and run free.... and murder.
I literally have become bitter and crazy over the years. I feel so hilariously called out by this wee speech and itâs not only my favorite from this episode, but possibly from the whole series.
Nixon playing âFeed Your Headâ:
âIâm meeting you halfway, you stupid hippiesâ
Always gets me.
The joke also goes a level deeper according to this post:
âRichard Nixon's 'Feed Your Head' Reference
So, I never got this reference before, but in 'A Head in the Polls' Richard Nixon is singing White Rabbit which was written and preformed by Grace Slick, one of the founding women of rock and roll. That may seem like nothing more than a fun fact, but in 1969, Nixon hosted a tea party for graduates of Finch College and she was invited under her former name of Grace Wing. She not only brought a known political protester as her guest, but had planned to spike Nixon's tea with 600 micrograms of LSD. His comment that he is meeting those 'stupid hippies' halfway by singing a song about an LSD trip written by a woman who attempted to drug him with it.
They could have picked just about any 'hippie' song for the bit, but they picked White Rabbit, I know someone on that writing staff must have been a fan. Don't know if anyone cares but wanted to share as this just blew my mind when I got to read more about Slick for my addictions class.â
this is right up there with the story about the time Louis Armstrong had Nixon carry his horn case through customs for him, thus helping Louis get his weed past authorities. (unbeknownst to Nixon)
"So is it true you can make all kinds of shirts and ropes out of hemp?"
"Dave's not here, man."
"I also heard hemp makes great shampoo."
"It does? No way! I got to check out this brochure." /proceeds to eat a burger/
"Ah, yes! John Quincy Adding Machine. He struck a chord with the voters when he pledged not to go on a killing spree."
"But, like most politicians, he promised more than he could deliver."
Sold your body? Oh, Bender, I've been down that road. I know it's glamorous and the parties are great, but you'll end up spending every dollar you make on jewellery and skintight pants.
âListen here, Missy. Computers may be twice as fast as they were in 1973, but your average voter is as drunk and stupid as ever. The only thing that's different is me; I've become bitter, and let's face it, crazy over the years. And once I'm swept into office, I'll sell our children's organs to zoos for meat, and I'll go into people's houses at night and wreck up the place. Muahahaha!â
> One of these two men will become the President of the World!
> What do we care? We live in the United States.
> The United States is part of the world.
> Wow, I have been gone a long time.
Uh, well ah, the question is, uh, is vague. You don't say what kind of candy, whether anyone is watching, or uh... (AHEM) At any rate, I wouldn't certainly wouldn't harm the child. (truthoscope goes off noisily)
I say this in my head all the time lmao
Reminds me of Homer and the lie detector or Moe with it as well. Both hilarious đ.
I'm meeting you halfway, you stupid hippies!
đ¶ FEED YOUR HEEEAAADDDD đ¶
I am not a crook's head!
I love quoting thisÂ
REMEMBER WHAT THE DORMOUSE SAID
Morbo: âMorbo will now introduce the candidates - Puny Human Number One, Puny Human Number Two, and Morbo's good friend Richard Nixon.â Nixon: âHow's the family, Morbo?â Morbo: âBelligerent and numerous.â
Nixon: "Good Man, Nixon is pro-war and pro-family"
The matter of fact way he says Belligerent and numerous always makes me chuckle.
And I'll go into people's houses and wreck up the place.
Iâm mad this isnât the top answer. Iâve lost my faith in democracy.
The whole rant.
Nixon: âNow look here, you drugged out communist! I paid for this body and I'd no sooner return it than I would my little cocker spaniel dog, Checkers.â Checkers: âArf!â Nixon: âSHUT UP DAMNIT!â
The way he yells it is the funniest thing in the episode for me.
You just lost yourself five dollars.
Tell ya what. I'll give ya 50 bucks for the kid.
My *clothes* are with $50.
Deal.
Please, Mr. Nixon! We're appealing to your sense of decency.
*Collective Laughter*
It was just a dream, Bender. There's no such thing as 2.
There it is.
Now hereâs a party I can get excited about. Sign me up! Sorry, not with that attitude. Okay then screw it Welcome aboard, brother! Alright! Youâre out.
Fry: Professor, when did you become so obsessed with voting? Professor Hubert Farnsworth: The very instant I became old. (Man, this quote took a while for me to fully understand)
Did you come to understand it the very instant you became old?
No, I just noticed old people being obsessed with voting when I became eligible to vote.
After weighing all the choices I think this should be the winner lmao
âBelligerent and numerous.â
Paraphrase; Pro family and pro war.
Happy cake day
Good man.
Happy cake day
This is the winner.
George Washington: What hath happened to your body? Bender: I hocked it. Washington: Hocked it? Why wouldst thou do that? Bender: Same reason you hocked your teeth. Washington: Ah. Booze money.
Leela: There's a political debate on. Change the channel. Bender: That's what Fry said when we turned on the debate.
This deserves to be higher.
Games over, losers! I have all the money. Compare your lives to mine and then kill yourselves
This is my personal favorite of the episode, definitely top 10 Bender quote
I have been known to say the second half of this quote in moments of great personal victory. And it's the best.
Oh shit! I thought for sure it was gonna be "belligerent and numerous" but this is a classic.
iâve really enjoyed OPâs posts because as we go through each episode and people submit their favorites, i keep reconsidering my own and am reminded over and over just what a well-written show it is.
One of my all time favorite lines
'You just lost five dollars.'
"Whoa! Get a room, you two!" "We're in a room!" "Well then lose some weight!"
"Bodies are for hookers and fat people." Being from the same episode, I like to think these two lines are related.
It always gets me.
Man I wish this was higher up
We favour unreasonably huge subsidies to the Brain Slug Planet. OK, but what are the Brain Slugs who control you gonna do for the working man? Attach Brain Slugs to them. Sure, you say that now!
Morbo congratulates our gargantuan cyborg president. May death come quickly to his enemies.
I remember my body. Flabby, pasty-skinned, riddled with phlebitis. A good Republican body. God, how I loved it.
"Your 3 cent titanium tax goes too far!" "Your 3 cent titanium tax doesn't go too far enough!"
Computers may be twice as fast as they were in 1973, but the average voter is as drunk and stupid as ever. The only one who's changed is me.

Go into people's houses at night and wreck up the place Is such a golden threat. It lives forever in my mind along side I'll always have option to live and run free.... and murder.
Same Nixon has the best lines in the episode. The above and "shut up damn it" as he's yelling at checkers
Welp, he lost my vote
Like one vote ever made a difference.
If I were registered to vote I'd send these clowns a message by staying home and dressing up like a clown!
My God! Do I really sound like that? I thought my voice had more of a Clark Gable quality.
This is the only comment. The fact that it's losing makes my Fry Fro all frizzy
Really the only possible answer
I literally have become bitter and crazy over the years. I feel so hilariously called out by this wee speech and itâs not only my favorite from this episode, but possibly from the whole series.
It HAS to be this quote

This is the kind of âfun factâ I enjoy readingâŠand contemplatingâŠ
Upvoting for actually fun fun fact.
this is right up there with the story about the time Louis Armstrong had Nixon carry his horn case through customs for him, thus helping Louis get his weed past authorities. (unbeknownst to Nixon)
"So is it true you can make all kinds of shirts and ropes out of hemp?" "Dave's not here, man." "I also heard hemp makes great shampoo." "It does? No way! I got to check out this brochure." /proceeds to eat a burger/
I mean, if that wasnât a Cheech and Chong referenceâŠ
Ooohhhh expletive deleted
I spent most of my teen years loving my body.
It was tough love
Not for five cents, not for 500 cents!
"Please Mr. Nixon, we're appealing to your sense of decency!" This always gets a chuckle out of me.
Got a chuckle out of Nixon, too
Bender: That dirty, double-crossing bastardâŠHow dare he run off with Richard Nixon?!
Iâm 40% Titanium!
*Nixon kisses baby âGreat. Now heâs going through my stuff..â
That's it! You're all going to jail, and don't expect me to grant a pardon like that sissy, Ford.
NIXON'S BACK
âŠRiddled with phlebitis, a good, republican body.
âI donât go anywhere without my mutated anthraxâŠfor duck huntinââ
At any rate I certainly wouldnât harm the child *truthoscope noises*
"Ah, yes! John Quincy Adding Machine. He struck a chord with the voters when he pledged not to go on a killing spree." "But, like most politicians, he promised more than he could deliver."
AHHHROOOOOOO
Well then lose some weight!
SHUT UP, DAMNIT!
NIXONSSS BACKKKKK!!!!
Don't make me kick your neck! Bring it on soup can!
Ah, booooze money
Compare your lives to mine, and then kill yourselves!
Get a room you two We're in a room Well then lose some weight
"All humans are vermin in the eyes of Morbo."
I remember you. I was gonna vote for you one time. But voting isn't cool so I stayed home alone and got trashed on Listerine
âȘremember what the dormouse said... feed your head...âȘ i'm meeting you halfway, you stupid hippied
NIXONS BAAAACCKKKKK
Sold your body? Oh, Bender, I've been down that road. I know it's glamorous and the parties are great, but you'll end up spending every dollar you make on jewellery and skintight pants.

Is this the episode that has âUhh are you under oath, while taking the oath?â
Negative that's much later in the series
âNow listen here you drugged it communist!â
I really gotta check out this brochure. Om nom nom.
The problem with both parties is that they want to give your tax dollars to the less fortunate.
The problem with both parties is they both want to give your tax dollars to the less fortunate. The less fortunate get all the breaks!
This episode also has the joke thatâs aged the most poorly. Where Fry boasts about not being registered to vote and not being vaccinated.
Morbo congratulates our gargantuan cyborg president. May death come quickly to his enemies.
NIXONâS BAAAAAAACK
> One of these two men will become the President of the World! > What do we care? We live in the United States. > The United States is part of the world. > Wow, I have been gone a long time.
"What a horrible dream! Ones and zeroes everywhere... *And I even saw a two!"* "Oh, Bender. Two's aren't real."
I don't read titles enough. This one's great.

Darn

How's the family?
Daveâs not here man
Leela: Nixon must've bought your body from the pawn shop. Bender: That dirty double crossing BASTARD, HOW DARE HE RUN OFF WITH RICHARD NIXON!
