Futurama: 10 Most Paused Moments
5. Doop Aliens (Brannigan, Begin Again)
One thing I absolutely love about Futurama is the diverse array of aliens that the cartoonists come up with. Sometimes they only cross the screen for a second or two and in the episode Brannigan, Begin Again, there is a whole gathering of aliens from around the galaxy available to peruse at your pleasure.
In season 2 episode 2, Zapp Brannigan (who is the funniest animated character of all time, by the way) is fired from his duties when he accidentally fires at the Doop ship, which is the alien equivalent to the United Nations. Down on his luck, he gets a job at Planet Express much to Leela's protestations. There's also a great Midnight Cowboy montage to look out for as well.
Where we paused: If you pause the video at 4:20, you can see a whole room full of diverse aliens and some that have appeared before. In the jury, for example you can see the "Whaddup" alien, a worm from the Slurm factory, a Neptunian much like Elzar, a Trisolian from My Three Suns and a Robot Elder from Fear Of A Bot Planet.
