For number 2, that's "The Day the Earth Stood Stupid":
Hermes: This is mighty strange. First, the civilisation of Space Rome collapsed, then Don Martin 3 went kaflooie and now Tweenis 12.
Fry: Looks like this planet is next in line.
Leela: That's Earth. [Fry stares blankly.] The planet we live on.
Fry: I'd hate to be those guys.

Thanks for the replies. Bumping because I still don't know what the first one is. No pressure, though.
For every low there is a high.
1. An old woman with a singsong, warbly English accent talking about the many uses of lemons. She was quite emotional; I remember her shouting, "Oh, lemons!" at one point. And I remember she was describing persistent sneezing in the winter as "the snuffling sneezes", which could be cured with a lemon drink. She also went out to her lemon tree and found a hibernating bear (played by a man in a bear suit) who woke up and she fought him.
2. An episode of a cartoon, possibly Futurama: someone is telling the crew of a spaceship which planets they'll visit and a man points at Earth on the map and says, "I suppose this planet will be next, huh?", then a woman says, "[his name; I can't remember], that's Earth!". He still doesn't seem to get it, so she says, "The planet where we live?!" and he says something back, but I can't remember.
