zap brannigan

Zap Brannigan is the captain of the Nimbus in the show Futurama. He is cocky, narcissistic, and desperately in love with Leela (or just wants to sleep with her). None of the main characters can really stand him and his sad attempts to look like a hero. He can, at times, be unprofessional, ignorant, wanting of attention, inappropriate, and sexist (but of course, that's what makes him Zap).

Zap brannigan:"Now you're now officially my woman. Kudos! I can't say I don't envy you."

Leela:"Zap, last night was a mistake."

Zap brannigan:"A sexy mistake."

The Brannigan Doctrine

Also known as "zerging", the Brannigan Doctrine is named for the eponymous Zap Brannigan, who threw "wave after wave" of his own men until the kill bots reached their natural kill limit and shut down.

The Brannigan Doctrine is a staple feature of Russian military "strategy", which appears to consist of throwing "wave after wave" of conscripts at smaller nations only to suffer humiliating casualties at the hands of technically inferior militaries. First seen in the Russo-Finnish war of 1939-40, and then again in the Russo-Ukrainian war.

Zapp Brannigan

A captain on Futurama that is the military equivalent of George W. Bush. Women are not allowed in his army as he likes sexually harassing them. Comes up with poor strategies to battles, such as sending waves of his own men out to be destroyed by "killbots," robots that die upon reaching a preset kill limit. He is also responsible for driving a space cruise into a black hole, destroying a $400 billion space station, and having a planet completely mined to the point where it implodes on itself.

Zapp Brannigan: The court shall now hear from the court marshall's ex-lover, Turanga Leela.
Leela: Go *BEEP* yourself.

Bringing up Laura Branigan

A term used when a person is so sick they are throwing up what they consumed in the 80's.

Although names of other pop stars of the era may be used to define the amount of effort involved in emesis it is worth noting that there is some debate as to whether "Bringing up Pat Benatar" implies as deep a retching as "Bringing up Laura Branigan".

"Bringing up Rick Astley" is only ever used by people who didn't actually live through the 80's and who spend their days on YouTube.

Medical note: Known to cause Boerhaave's syndrome (effort rupture of the esophagus).

80's Survivor #1: "Heard you were really sick."
80's Survivor #2: "Oh, man, I was bringing up Laura Branigan."
