Pretty typical response, but Jurassic Bark, Luck of the fryish, and the last episode. Also, the episode where they have a one way time machine and go through the future.

Tough to pick just one. Probably as tossup between "The Devil's Hands Are Idle Playthings" and "The Late Philip J. Fry"
 
That's a tough question. I have a lot of favorites, but I've probably seen "Less Than Hero" more than any of the others. Hell, I was even Super King for Halloween. Followed closely by "Space Pilot 3000", "The Devils Hands are Idle Playthings", and "War is the H Word".

Edit:

No. The CC seasons were modern simpsons level crap.

Yeah, a lot of them were pretty bad. But The Late Philip J. Fry and The Prisoner of Benda sit there with the best episodes in the series.
 
Was the last season any good? It's on netflix but the season before it put me to sleep.

Watch the last five or so episodes. Those are the best from the final season. Everything else not so much.

As for my picks, I gotta go with Mars University, Fry and the Slurm Factory, The Problem with Popplers, Amazon Women in the Mood, Parasites Lost, The Birdbot of Ice-Catraz, Roswell That Ends Well, Godfellas, Future Stock, The 30% Iron Chef, The Sting, Obsoletely Fabulous, The Farnsworth Parabox, Three Hundred Big Boys, Reincarnation, and Murder on the Planet Express.

It's really hard to pick just one (or even ten in my case).
 
Seeing a distinct lack of "The Day the Earth Stood Stupid" in here.

[Fry and Leela are trapped in 'Moby Dick']

Chief Giant Brain: Farewell! You will all be trapped in this dense symbolist tome forever!



[On whitewashing Aunt Polly's fence in 'Tom Sawyer']

The Big Brain: Tom Sawyer, you tricked me. This is less fun than previously indicated. Let this corny slice of Americana be your tomb for all eternity.

Tom Sawyer: Please no!
 
The Late Phillip J Fry!

Great that such an amazing episode came so late in the series, and the song was just fantastic.

The Devil’s Hands are Idle Playthings

Though the last episode might be up there but I need to watch it a couple more times.

This is a close second!
 
I think it's going to be the final episode for awhile. Such a good way to end the show.
I can maybe count ten or so episodes of the Comedy Central run that were really good, the finale being one of them luckily. At least it ended on a good note even though the middle of the run was mostly fun but relatively middling at worst and competent at best.
 
i dont know if i have a favorite episode yet.

but i like the devil robot, so its probably going to be an episode with him.
 
Luck of The Fryrish definitely hits the hardest. Others would be Devil's Hands, the Slurm Factory, and Roswell. Hard to choose though, I like pretty much all of the original run.
 
I just watched the final episode (I cant be arsed to wait 2 years or however long before it gets shown in the uk), cheesy yes but beautiful non the less and a fitting send off and nicely open to bring it back which you just know will happen eventually
 
It was a nice send off. Funnily enough, if you watch the first episode right after, it's pretty awesome.
I hated how
Leela and Fry didn't mind that all their friends and family were frozen in time. Instead of trying to find a solution to help everybody they decided to take a walk. Stop the time earlier, have Leela and Fry coping with situation and then have them accept their fate in frozen universe and make best of it.
 
I don't know if I can pick a favorite - s1-s4 were soooo good.

However, I was pretty happy with the finale. I thought it was done well
(and watching Fry stuck in an infinite loop of committing suicide was pretty funny).
 
Jurassic Bark made me cry, I couldn't watch that episode for quite a long time afterwards.

Overall the emotional episodes are my favorite. Luck of the Fryish, The Late Philip J. Fry, The Sting and the Devil Hands one.
 
The sting
That's a great one too. Devils Hands is probably my favorite, but I'll throw in Godfellas as well. Bender as god was fun, the actual "god" was also fun and Fry's hopless efforts to save his best friends gave the episode a small emotional kick.

It's Cavern on the Green a pretty good episode with its share of emotions, sci-fi and disturbing implications...
Everyone dies... for real.
 
Many episodes mentioned here are great, I really enjoyed "Three Hundred Big Boys", it's a nice stand alone episode with caffeine addled Fry being a stand out character.

I'm not biggest fan of the episode but Fry's enlightenment towards the end is one of the funniest moment in Futurama.
 
The Luck of the Fryrish is the best.

Also:
Time Keeps On Slippin’
Roswell that Ends Well
Leela’s Homeworld
Jurassic Bark
The Sting
The Devil’s Hands Are Idle Playthings

I've been more marked by the emotions of these episodes, but I love the entire show for its humor.
 
Most of my favourites have been listed but I don't think I have even one episode I dislike.

One of my favourite funny episodes is The Prisoner Of Benda, where the Professor swaps minds with Amy, who then swaps with Bender etc etc. The idea was so silly but it was properly funny. It felt like one of those episodes where the writers knew they had a great idea and just wanted to have fun

What were they supposed to do? They didn't have any knowledge of how to fix it.

Seek knowledge. Like the guy in I am legend.
Of course they couldn't have done anything but out of despair they could have tried, until they would see how hopeless it is and then start living for themselves.
 
Too many to possibly list them all (many of them already mentioned). Overall though I'd say my favorite is That's Lobstertainment.

Zoid: Rich nephew, come over here and give your uncle a nice, big meal.
