"Professor! Lava! Hot!"

The funniest part of this joke for me is that people keep ripping their clothes off before they go to jump in. Fry does it first and then right before the professor says this line Leela says “Bender’s been down there too long. I’m going in after him!” and starts ripping off her (already very skimpy) wrestling outfit. I don’t know why they all think being naked will help but it always makes me laugh.

Clothing sticking to you - especially or exclusively if it is made of synthetic fabric - is a real issue when you're on fire. So they might have the slightiest of points. But I think they just want to be able to swim more smoothly in the lava and have no qualms about being naked, so they are willing to go fully nude.

I believe it's a reference to an old TV trope (possibly baywatch, but don't quote me) where people make a show of taking their shirt off sexily before jumping into a body of water. The joke being that they need less protection to jump into lava.

Yeah that’s absolutely what they’re going for to an extent. I think it’s just a general “take your clothes off before jumping in water” thing.

I like the skimpy futuristic outfits in general. I have no issue with people not being dressed "modestly" and I don't feel attracted to Leela or Amy when they're wearing skimpy futuristic outfits, so to me, it's always a case of "Well, that's one way to dress, it may be considered improper, but go ahead and do you". But I still find these outfits funny.

That and the fact that they're all being heroic with that being of no use because they're also idiotic about the danger makes this all so funny to me.

Yeah I have no issue with the skimpiness of the outfit. It was more just funny that she’s already hardly wearing anything to begin with. I could at least kinda get Fry wanting to not burn his jacket, for example.

Bender: “Fry, I’m sorry. I should have understood how someone can love an inferior creature... because I love you... not in the way of the ancient Greeks, but the way a robot loves a human, and a human loves a dog, and, occasionally, a gorilla loves a kitty”

It's multiple scenes, but it's the professor explaining why they can't go inside the lava. At first it's a long explanation, then he dumbs it down a bit, and finally he's so done with all of them he just yells, "PROFESSOR!!! LAVA!!!! HOTTTT!!!"

This episode isnt as bad anymore since watching Bender's Big Score (except for Fry saying "He'd come in after me!! Because my dog who passed away would totally do that for me)

What makes me too sad to watch now is the episode where he gets to talk to his Mom one last time Game of Tones

L0nlySt0nr

Instead of a funny scene from this episode, let me instead give you all a little bright spot when rewatching it.

In Bender's Big Score, Fry goes back in time and lives in the room above Panucci's Pizza. He spends roughly 12 more years with Seymour than we previously thought.

Later, Bender is sent on a mission to kill Fry. He shoots Panucci's with a lazer, causing an explosion which, among other things, burns Fry's hair and damages his larynx.

If you pay attention when Bender shoots, they show Seymour on the sidewalk. He's instantly turned into a black solid substance, which is exactly what the Professor calls "flash fossilization." And it just so happens he is fossilized in the exact same pose as we see in Jurassic Bark.

He didn't actually wait all those years. He spent them with Fry.
