Deletion? Why?>

i deleted something because it made no sence —Preceding unsigned comment added by 4.167.232.226 (talk) 01:07, 28 September 2007 (UTC)

The reference to Semisonic's song is obvious in the episode (see my edit.. and the revert that someone did) He slows down and says each word distinctly "You don't have to go home but you can't stay here". Why would that not be worth mentioning in this short article regarding an episode? It clearly references a popular song.. Without that knowledge the line is not funny.

As has been stated multiple times [1][2][3][4][5] it is a phrase that is not specific to the song by Semisonic so there is no way to know if that was the writer's intended meaning. Stardust8212 11:19, 16 September 2008 (UTC)

Benders Funeral

Regarding the line: "The Planet Express crew hold a funeral for Bender, even though it's stated in "Insane in the Mainframe" that Bender has an off button, thus making the idea of a funeral for a robot pointless."

Just because Bender has on 'Off' switch doesn't mean that he can't still have a funereal? In the episode 'the honking' benders uncle Vladimir has a funereal...

I think there's some confusion since in The Beast (etc) Leela uses his on/off switch and his fine afterwards. Maybe a robot dying and swicthing themsevles off are two different things. As in, when you turn your computer off the computer is asleep not dead. Maybe the line 'turn my on/off switch to off' means he's just going to sleep through retirement????

Reference

As much as I liked Stargate, I don't see anything indicating it was the direct source of these references. Aliens and egypt is a common connection (just see the reference some lines below), and the guards in the film were masked, so they would resemble the egyptian gods, who were probably what the makers of this episode referenced.

Continuity - Bender's composition?

This might be too minor to include in the article but hey, I think it's a nice little tidbit... In this episode the Professor states that Bender is made from an iron/osmium alloy with a nickel impurity. This statement clashes with the many metals Bender himself has claimed to be made of. An example of discontinuity? And yes, I realise that many episodes' pages (the ones mentioning Bender's composition) would also need to be changed for the sake of consistency, which I don't think is hugely unreasonable. Just running it up the flagpole :-) --Marshmellis (talk) 13:33, 30 September 2008 (UTC)
