a catchphrase said by "that guy" in Futurama Season 4 Episode 9 (Futurestock) emphasizing his 80'
s style. Back in the 80'
s "Awesome" and "to the max!" were hackneyed quips that people would spout to sound
cool. Nowadays, people usually say it for camp value... especially since even in the 80'
s it was slightly tacky...
FRY: (whispers to That Guy) Hey, buddy... I'm from the same time as you. Remember that song, Safety
Dance?
THAT GUY: Sure do! We can
dance!
(starts humming 'The Safety Dance' and Fry follows)
FRY: Y'know, that dance wasn't as safe as they said it was.
THAT GUY: I tell you; Two go-go 80'
s Reaganauts like us... we could rule this world!
FRY: No question!
THAT GUY: If only someone would give us a shot.
FRY: They're scared of our
raw power. Oh, but if you want a job, I could beg everyone at the company where I work.
THAT GUY: Awesome. Awesome to the max!
