Talk:Furmanism
This is awesome. In a "so bad it's good" sort of way. --DrSpengler 23:26, 26 November 2006 (UTC)
This is obviously an incomplete list. I also have some that were only repeated once, sometimes in differing forms, which I won't add to the page proper until we find at least one more iteration. If you can find more of any of these, feel free to add them.
Here's my remainder:
CAN I DO LESS?
- "I've stood here and watched humans -- frail flesh creatures -- fight and die for their world. CAN I DO LESS?" --Jazz, G1 #67
- "The real Scorponok wouldn't have turned and fled! He'd have accepted his responsibilities, his FATE! Can I then do less?" --Scorponok, G1 #75
WHOLE WORLD OF PAIN
- "Get ready, quite literally... for a whole WORLD of pain!" -- Starscream, G2 #11
- "It's about PAIN, Megatron... here's a whole WORLD of it!" -- Starscream, TWWv1 #3
LIKE SOME PREDATORY BIRD
- "I now believe a SECOND menace exists, one that hovers like some predatory bird at the edge of my consciousness." --Optimus Prime, G2 #4
- "Ahead, hovering like some vast, predatory bird on the fringes of Fahl Space... the Decepticon flagship, Twilight--" Narration, G2 #7

- I'm waaaay too comfortable lying on my couch here to go upstairs and find the book and check, but I want to say Swoop did the whole "better to die than run" shtick when the Dinobots were fighting the demons in #76...? - Chris McFeely 23:33, 26 November 2006 (UTC)
- Indeed! Good memory. Hold on... --ItsWalky 23:34, 26 November 2006 (UTC)
Call me humorless if you wish-
Normally, I love the humor here. I like that we don't always take everything seriously. However, I think this article is taking things a little far. Boo to this section, basically. Boo-urns, in fact. It feels like it's trashing Furman for no good reason. And I've never heard ANYONE say- "Hey, a similar bit of dialogue in a Simon Furman comic! Must be a Furmanism!"
And, seriously,you don't think some of it is intentional (particularly issue 67)?
I just don't see how this has a place here. --DJ Convoy
- ...I saw it as a celebration of Furmanisms, actually. -Derik 17:35, 27 November 2006 (UTC)
- Pretty much. Furman is my main man. --ItsWalky 18:53, 27 November 2006 (UTC)
