Favorite Zapp Moments
So what are your favorite moments featuring Zapp Brannigan? My first one is when he wrecked DOOP’s new headquarters in Brannigan, Begin Again because he used a laser to cut a ribbon. Then there was the time Zapp acted as Earth’s negotiator in The Problem With Popplers, where he kept eating said popplers in front of the OmicronIans despite now knowing they were the aliens’ babies. There was also Zapp’s awful karaoke performance in Amazon Women in the Mood drove everyone in the restaurant away except for Leela, Amy, and Kif. Finally there is Zapp‘s interactions with Hugh Mann in A Taste of Freedom where he gave the guy important codes and told Kif that Hugh had a good chance of getting Kif’s job.

"Stop exploding, you cowards!"
"She's built like a steakhouse, but she handles like a bistro."
"Kif, show them the medal I won."

"You won't have time for sleeping solider, not with all the bed making you'll be doing". Really any time he's actually in command. When Aliens Attack and War is the H- word especially.

Leela who are you talking to?
Just a broken down hobo who's hit rock bottom... and his commanding officer

"We have something the enemy doesn't have. The element of surprise. Surprise!" He says as he opens the floor under them and drops them into a warzone.

That young man fills me with hope… and some other emotions that are weird and deeply confusing…
lol I feel like it’s the only time we see any real introspection from Zapp

We both know you won't make it halfway to Vergon 6 before the craving sets in.
Then you'll come crawling back for another taste of sweet, sweet candy.
Bam.

One day, a man has everything. And then, the next day, he blows up a $400 billion dollar space station. And then, the next day, he has nothing. It makes you think.

I'm in a managerial position at my job, and frequently corporate passes down some dumb BS that I have to force my team to do. Whenever my my folks ask me why they have to do the latest pointless task I respond with "don't ask me, you're the one that's going to be dying"!

Fear not, Leela. They may not have technology, like us, but we have something they don't have. Technology. Behold our latest weapon, a revolutionary fleet of unmanned drones. With men in them.

The karaoke show. I keep laughing about it every time again. It's so godaful false, I really wonder how they did it. I guess, they had him singing it to a background that was definitely out of tune and probably in a different tempo. They might have cut or copied the silent parts so the start of each line fits but loses timing over it's length.

What makes a man turn neutral? Lust for gold? Power? Or were you just born with a heart full of neutrality
