In some ways, Futurama's Professor Hubert Farnsworth is like Grandpa on the Simpsons thanks to his being over 160 years old, but his cold demeanor and desire for doomsday weapons sets him apart just enough to make the words he says funny and frightening at the same time.

From the perfect one-liners that went on to become memes like "I don't want to live on this planet anymore" to more poignant utterings like "Everyone's always in favor of saving Hitler's brain, but when you put it in the body of a great white shark. Ohhh, suddenly you've gone too far," let's take a look at the greatest Professor Farnsworth quotes in Futurama history, ranked by your votes.
