imo the best episode (outside of the sad ones) is A Bicyclops Built for Two (S02E13), the gags are the best here and storyline is great too. second best is The Devil's Hands Are Idle Playthings (S04E18).

People who like these could do worse than take a look at Ubik by Philip K Dick [0]. Each chapter starts with an advert expounding the virtues of the wonder substance Ubik, which can be used as beer, shaving foam, kitchen cleaner, coffee, hairspray, antiperspirant and others. Each ad has a great little caveat: "Safe when taken as directed", "Avoid prolonged use", "Entirely safe when used as directed", "Safe when used in a conscientious programme of bodily hygiene", "Do not exceed recommended dosage", "Do not exceed recommended portion at any one meal" etc etc

“Please rise for the futurama theme song” - Ep 41

I recently learned this song is mostly sampled, I had no idea: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qoq5-bLYM5Q

Wow, what an amazing breakdown video visualization. I see there are a bunch of these, for e.g. Daft Punk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5QwOpRh-IfI, Britney Spears https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AXXUodk-pVo, Fatboy Slim https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MaaQyVRndMA&list=PLmsQco5tyS...

I wonder why episode 96 has the message 100. Is the numbering off?

There were four direct-to-DVD movies between the Fox era and the Comedy Central era. I suppose they are counting those as four episodes (even though they were later cut up for broadcasting into a full season of over a dozen episodes).

All the quotes are in pictures with the alt text being only the number of the episode. Online accessibility at its best.

And why do tell us, should somebody who is donating their time making something silly, jump through some hoops to live up to your standards? Please send the web master a list of every alt text before you try and make it someone else's problem or complain about it.

You are pissed at me and it is part of the reason why I did it. I can duplicate the effort of the webmaster, send the alt texts, and maybe they will be cool and incorporate them in the post for the next reader. Or maybe they will say: "yeah, bro" and will promptly forget about me and my complains. On the other side, someone will be pissed at me because they feel guilt for something that they have nothing to do with.…

You are giving yourself way too much importance. Rest assured that the rest of the world does not share that sentiment.

Since it's hosted on GitHub, the blog is available as a git repo [0]. I'd check with the author to see if he'd accept a PR and then it's possible to contribute alts you desire.
