I like to imagine that Morbo's species actually has no plans to invade earth, and he just acts the way he does because he likes to intimidate those puny earthlings
Maybe they were once full-on klingon levels of agression, but that was centuries ago. Nowadays they're much more laid back, but some lingual relics stuck around.
After watching reruns of this show a million times, you forget how golden the writing if this show is. Try to remember hearing Morbo's insanity for the very first time.
You Are Not Alone. I mean like at least a million other people use windmills do not work that way as a response to idiocy; at this point because Futurama
It's not just Linda, it's EVERYONE. Everyone who ever comes across Morbo is completely unphased by all of Morbo's anger and threats. Elzar is unphased, the guests on his show are unphased, and Fry doesn't hesitate to give him a hug.
Such a great running gag. But after the revival of the series I was expecting them to explain that Morbo's race had tried to conquer Earth but had failed *so bad* no one took them seriously.
Well the fake laugh was because his partner was taken by the tentacle and he wanted to make it seem like he agreed with her before getting the heck out of there. Don't forget people were originally terrified when yevo first came to earth with Fry.
It’s part of the manufacturing of consent crossed with a little Freudian psychology and a smidgen of Bernaysian propaganda techniques 😅. Men think women are kind and nurturing even when it has been significantly proven again and again that they are not and have become ice cold harridans in this latter generation you see and will believe what they say because they couldn’t possibly have any commonality with Cerberus from the Gates of Hades itself if they wear a pink dress could they? Well men were wrong and now many are dead.
“Morbo will now introduce tonight’s candidates. Puny human number 1. Puny human number 2. And Morbo’s good friend, Richard Nixon.” Hearing Morbo saying “Puny human” just made me burst out laughing 😂
They probably couldn't find a funny angle. Maybe if it turned out that they were actually peaceful and chill and it's only Morbo who's aggressive, but it's not a premise that could carry an entire episode.
Morbo is so extra and I'm all for it. I've only got a few things to point out here: My guess is that his mentions of his species planning to invade Earth are just done for entertainment purposes. Morbo probably doesn't mind as he likely already had earned the epithet "the Annihilator" before becoming a news anchor, and the "Invasion" storyline was probably the result of him and the studio execs/producers spitballing ideas, since they now have an aggressive, muscular alien with huge, throbbing forehead veins as the male anchor. Also, it's likely that Morbo's been doing this for years, and developed a good friendship with co-anchor Linda van Schoonhoven, since he comforted her when she had a breakdown after all the world's alcohol disappeared. Morbo brings the same energy to "Who Dares/Wants to be a Millionaire" as one of his predecessors, Jeremy Clarkson. Who here would love to have Morbo moderate a current Presidential Election, with the candidates including but not limited to: Joe Biden, Donald Trump, Ron DeSantis, Gavin Newsom, Ted Cruz, Kamala Harris, Ron Scott, and Beto O'Rourke? I for one would enjoy Morbo's dry, dark sense of humor(?) and him threatening to destroy each candidate. And we all know he'd be perfect as he appears to be apolitical, and as he said himself: "All humans are vermin in the eyes of Morbo." I WILL DESTROY ALL OF YOU!
I once had to babysit my sister’s hamsters, Dimples and Cuddles. Dimples was an evil little bastard, always bullying his brother, taking his food and biting hell out of anyone who tried to handle him. I renamed him Morbo and it stuck.
“Welcome back, our next guest has been teaching the world to cook for over 20 years. But apparently my wife hasn’t been listening.” *crowd laughs* “I WILL DESTROY HER!”
I like how Morbo started out all omahoht destroying humans but then talked less about that and became more of a genuine newscaster over time. I like to think Linda and the rest of humanity softened his heart a bit
"Hows the family, Morbo?"
"BELIGERENT AND NUMEROUS"
Spoken like a true family man.
Belligerent

Honestly my favorite line in the whole show
I always love how his co-host is always delightful and cheery, no matter what Morbo says.
It's cause she is drunk all the time
Typical vapid news hag
I feel like Morbo and Pathetic Human Female have a nice vibe going.
Ahahahhaha
That's half the joke!
"WINDMILLS DO NOT WORK THAT WAY!!!- GOODNIGHT!" ......still laughing at this after 20+ years
we need news anchors to just do that when a politician says something incredibly stupid instead of nodding and letting it sit there

@@danieljames1868This is by far the most ingenious take on his species I have read so far.
Considering how frequently he threatens to destroy his wife, it might just be how his species talks in general.
Missing the scene where Morbo reports that the booze of earth has vanished and Linda has a breakdown and Morbo's like "um, there there."
Which episode was that one from?

'ALL HUMANS ARE VERMIN TO MORBO' I dunno, sound like he may be on to something xD
"The situation is expected to deteriorate as news casters whip the city into a panic". So true Morbo, so true
1:40 the only time morbo seems nervous is a bit scary
You know that you are truly DOOMED when morbo gets uneasy lol

@@davidstuckey9289yes you absolutely do need to hit them with the "*good night*" - for full effect..!! 😂
Morbo is one of my favorite characters in Futurama
"Earthlings do not yet know the meaning of suffering" that was terrifying .😀
I can see why Morbo's so popular, I'd prefer to watch the news and programs with him as a host
Mainly due to his deep male voice, and huge throbbing forehead veins.
At least he’s honest about what and who he is. Unlike Fox News anchors and so on…
I really wanted to see an episode where his race rook over Earth.
"There were no survivors!" 😉
I think he's just joking honestly.
Rooooook
Rook?
rook rook, im american
”Oh, hello, Morbo the Annihilator here, sitting down to a delightful tea”
To quote Fry when he goes back to our time "I miss Morbo".
I just realised, root 2 is irrational, so "root2 news" becomes: irrational news
So... basically CNN.
@@manoftruth0935 or MSNBC or CBS or etc. etc. etc....
@@manoftruth0935 that could apply to literally any tv news channel
This is why I prefer newspapers over tv stations
Almost all numbers are irrational tho.
Morbo and Linda have an excellent chemistry
"Kittens give Morbo gas"
What a great throw away line!
Morbo's head almost matched Mom's hair
‘Morbo is pleased but sticky’ Best post-coital remark I’ve ever made.
He looks so gloriously deranged when he screams: "SILENCE, PUNY AUDIENCE!!!" 😂😂😂
It's not just Linda, it's EVERYONE. Everyone who ever comes across Morbo is completely unphased by all of Morbo's anger and threats. Elzar is unphased, the guests on his show are unphased, and Fry doesn't hesitate to give him a hug.
I thought that was Lurr in the casino part of the climate activists long episode
Maybe theyve just become used to him saying threats and anger since he became a TV news reader
Sound effect for the x-ray stew is superb.
Don't you mean the Unnamable Horror from Beyond with Mango Chutney?
Such an under rated character haha I laugh after every quote just like the news lady
"WINDMILLS DO NOT WORK THAT WAY, GOODNIGHT" 😂
DON QOIXEEE NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
I love how Morbo says the wildest shit and Linda just “lol😊”
Adult swim should do a weekend news show with Morbo.
Morbo really is a whole mood 😂😂
They have such great chemistry.
Such a great running gag. But after the revival of the series I was expecting them to explain that Morbo's race had tried to conquer Earth but had failed *so bad* no one took them seriously.
that explains a lot. Is that in the comics?
@@TheBlackAztec3 No. It was just a guess on my part.
Right. That would be the icing. They start their invasion but no one takes a notice.:)
Honestly the fake laugh makes almost all of these 10x better
Well the fake laugh was because his partner was taken by the tentacle and he wanted to make it seem like he agreed with her before getting the heck out of there. Don't forget people were originally terrified when yevo first came to earth with Fry.
I love how she keeps laughing
She’s afraid of him.
The woman brainlessly laughing in response to literally everything he says is still a staple of pretty much every news broadcast today

a great charachter in a timeless show
Morbo's head and mom's are similar in shape. Makes you think.
What I learned from this, if Morbo tells you to run, you run.
When he looks over and sees the tentacle sticking out of his co-anchor's back, is the only time I've seen Morbo scared for his life.
"In this reporter's opinion, GRUESOME DEATH AWAITS US ALL!"
Amazingly accurate portrayal of today’s “news” programs.
"Man, even the news monster is acting strange" :DDD
Morbo is such a mood tbh
Beligerant and numerous is easily the most recognizable line from this show for me
Morbo was so underrated.
Sweet Zombie Jesus, I didn’t know his full title was The Annihilator.
WINDMILLS DO NOT WORK THAT WAY!
GOODNIGHT!
I like how at 3:39 he just casually introduced himself as Morbo the Annihilator
"Kittens give Morbo gas"
Hilarious...
Linda's laughing is great
I just realised Mom and Morbo are rocking the same head/hair shape haha
"And Morbo's good friend Richard Nixon" the tone shift in that alone made me spit my water out first time I watched Futurama

WINDMILLS DO NOT WORK THAT WAY, GOODNIGHT!
Kittens give Morbo gas.
WINDMILLS DO NOT WORK THAT WAY! GOODNIGHT!

YOU WILL BE MISSED!!!
"Morbo is sticky but pleased." I still quote this during heatwaves.
These audio compression artifacts are *exquisite*
Morbo running from that tentacle will never not be funny 😂
I felt disappointed that there was never an episode _about_ Morbo and/or his race, but at the same time I think the mystery was better kept unsolved.
They probably couldn't find a funny angle. Maybe if it turned out that they were actually peaceful and chill and it's only Morbo who's aggressive, but it's not a premise that could carry an entire episode.

The scene with the Chef & Morbo, when he peeks into the pot and his skeleton is visible, Morbo looks like the alien monster from "This Island Earth".
You forgot Morbo singing Funky Town
Honestly, of the two Linda is the creepier one
Wow, how'd miss Morbo actually freaking out a couple of times?
His the only honest reporter in history
How did I never know he had an epithet? Also, leaving out "TONIGHT AT 11: DOOOOOOOOOOM!", I say boo on you.

“Welcome back, our next guest has been teaching the world to cook for over 20 years. But apparently my wife hasn’t been listening.”
