I WILL NEVER STOP LAUGHING AT THIS

I don't know why I'm thinking about this now, but probably my favorite joke in the entire first Futurama movie is the scene in the Gallery of Screaming Skulls. It's note-perfect for so many weird reasons:

- Why are the skulls screaming in the first place?
-- The sound of their screaming is also really fucking goofy
- Who thought it would be a good idea to build a whole gallery to house a bunch of skulls that do nothing but scream?
- How the hell does the Gallery of Screaming Skulls make a remotely romantic location for a date?

It's flawless. I'm laughing about it even now. The lesson here is that Futurama is eternal.
