This is my favorite Futurama episode because it has all the key pieces of the series: -Cool sci fi concepts. The limitation of the machine is a great plot device, and the fact that they restart the Universe twice is simply amazing. -Hilarious dark humor. Like when they accidentally kill their alternative selves in the ending. -Touching emotions. Seriously, the Fry-Leela relationship isn't as satisfactory in any other episode, except maybe the one about space parasites. -A great song. This one!
@@vitoguido3258 I noticed that as well, hence how their time machine made it back to their actual time - only to plunge about 10 feet squashing their original selves to death.
Seikatsu - You know this is a parody of a real song, right? "The Year 2525" by Jager and Evans. I think I got that right. So now you have a whole long song to listen to.
This is such a great parody, but it's also a profoundly sad clip: thousands of years pass, but it's all one survival-of-the-fittest dystopia after another, with no sign of things ever getting better.
This seemed to go better from time to time.. only to go horribly wrong again like those small beings society.. however the amazon society seemed nice.. too bad Bender became annoyed by them refusing to stay at the machine rebellion society and moved forward skiping them
@@dinoflagella4185 What makes you think that humans of 50 Million AD are the same. Those just might be dick girls. The thought crossed my mind late at night once.
I never noticed how Bender puts his arms out to protect Fry and the Professor at 0:50 it's kind of sweet that he's actually trying to protect those two
Despite being a jerk to them most of the time, they're still his best friend and the guy that gives him money. When it comes to those close to him, Bender has heart of 40% gold.
Rad Derry Well, that’s one look at a comedy show, I guess. Rick and Morty doesn’t really dive that deep into really anything, and just sort of stays on the surface of everything. It shows that for how smart humanity is, it does pretty dumb things, but that’s not very deep at all. It also likes to show that there isn’t a point to itself, which kind of debunks any sort of depth that anyone tries to give it. Futurama doesn’t really focus on one specific “philosophy” (I guess would be the term), so it’s more free to do whatever it wants with each episode, so there’s plenty of deep moments with plenty of variations. The writing of the two are easily the biggest differences, though. Futurama has a very well made world with rules that apply to it, but Rick and Morty essentially has neither. The only rule seems to be that Rick is the smartest and can get out of anything. Futurama uses very clever and smart jokes with varying degrees of subtlety, but Rick and Morty has mostly surface level jokes. Futurama also managed to keep its quality up throughout the entire show and I can’t think of an episode that I don’t like. Rick and Morty on the other hand, seems to be going through an identity crisis or seasonal rot with how hit and miss the last season was (which is likely due to the new writers introduced). For all of these reasons, Futurama is easily far better than Rick and Morty, in my opinion at least. Rick and Morty is ok, but that the best that I can rate it.
Rad Derry There’s really barely anything connecting Fry and the Professor to Rick and Morty. The only connection that comes to mind is that the Professor and Rick are both smart characters that are old, but that’s it. Also, yeah, that example is pretty basic. Nothing is deep or nuanced about killing “the next Hitler”. It’d be interesting or deep if Morty would instead choose anything other than to kill Fart, and to get incite into Morty’s reasons for sparing/killing him. The writers don’t really think outside of the box, they just point out that there’s a box and do nothing more. Futurama’s comedy is very sci-fi inspired, ranging from references to actual science jokes, but this is pretty lacking in Rick and Morty, which is rather a short coming of the show. True, I suppose that their range is rather on par, but Futurama has much more internal logic in it, where Rick and Morty’s internal logic just seems to be madlibs, which is another short coming of a sci-fi show. You very clearly like Rick and Morty quite a lot, so I’ll let you enjoy your show without calling you dumb or anything rude like that. I just so happen to think that it’s highly overrated.
Honestly, the idea of treveling hundreds of thousands of years into the future only to see mankind and the world itself deteriorate is actually really scary
@@NekroKid7kimagine coming from a ridiculously high tech world. Going INTO THE FUTURE only to find out that Humanity gets taken over multiple times and keep regressing towards BACK into the middle age. Actually now that I think about it. The goal was to find a civilization with a Time Machine or at the very least find someone who can help them. Only to find humans wearing knight armor and wielding swords. You think “ok they’re a little behind but a few more years they’ll catch up” only to find mf giraffes are the dominant species. I feel like there’s a even depressing realization that even if they do go to their own time. They see that humanity essentially “went to shit”. So how can you continue living when you literally saw the end of EVERYTHING.
This episode is my absolute favorite in the series. Came to realize it when I became aware that the Leela whose life we follow for the first 5 seasons never actually saw Fry again in her lifetime. Those kind of emotions are the ones that Futurama brings in quite a number of episodes and make it so great, even beyond its comical value.
Maybe another Fry from an earlier universe took his place later on. If all else is the same, why not that? Assuming that this is not the first itteration of their universe
@@johanfilm6350 except it shows that fry's leela grew old and ended up settling for cubert as a substitute for fry as planet express became financially successful under her leadership. the second leela suffered the same fate, but her fry was there for the fourth leela assumedly the 5th leela never saw her fry as the third fry was killed. in short, half of all leela's in the cyclic universe grow rich, lonely, and old.
Let's see...the heat death of the universe won't happen for several billion years, and we're pretty far along in the life span, all things considered, so.... really damn old.
@@rustyshackle8000 the Heat Death of the universe is the prologue, the universe will expand for the overwhelming majority of its existence until energy is sufficiently distributed to initiate a universal black hole, which will then spend an almost equal amount of time collapsing all energy into a point singularity, at which point it will reach a critical energy density, causing the black hole to detonate in a new big bang. The universe doesnt end, it just takes a long vacation.
The genius of the show is how they made a perpetual time loop which would explain you being able to watch reruns of the entire series...that was pure genius.
I was today years old when I heard the song “In the year 2525” didn’t know it was a song. But it’s so well done because I knew exactly what it was even tho i had never heard the original
@@markcasadevall9509 That truly was the genius of _Futurama._ When they went heavy with the emotions, it was glorious and beautiful and yet each one still has screwball comedy that never diminished the heartfelt emotion. "Time Keeps on Slippin'" "Jurassic Bark" "The Luck of the Fryrish" "The Devil's Hands are Idol Playthings" "The Late Phillip J. Fry" The list goes on.
What makes this segment even funnier now is that, in the new season, the Professor invented the backwards time machine. They only had to travel 10+ years into the future to go back in time lol.
if I remember correctly sometime in this episode there's a book with "backwards time travel" in alienese on the cover. They could just have read about it...
In a year that starts with 20 and ends in a One!, We wont be allowed to have any fun. At this rate it can only worsen. when you have to refer to women as "A Birthing Person"
No. It's one of Futuramas nerd Easter eggs. It's an Atari game from 1982 called Joust. You were a knight on an ostrich. Here's a video on the gameplay. th-cam.com/video/5YDF-s1zlBQ/w-d-xo.html
Reminds me of that Billy and Mandy episode where instead of traveling further to the future, they travelled back and back in time just to stop Billy from existing but no matter what they do, they can't change history even going to back to furthest past.
I know Zager & Evans did the original “In the year 2525” . “The late Philip J Fry” episode was made in 2010, eight years before Rick Evans passed away. Is it possible that Zager & Evans did parody themselves for Futurama? Because the voices are so similar!
I like how it's 'Giraffe' in SINGULAR. Like it's not that humanity is enslaved to giraffes in general, no. It's just this ONE giraffe that has enslaved all of humanity.
Just one of the several times this show has introduced a song that I will never stop listening to, and may have gone untold years without hearing if not for this episode.
In the year 105105 If man is still alive If robot can survive They may find... In the year 252525 The backwards time machine still won't have arrived In all the world, there's only one technology A rusty sword for practicing proctology In a future year that ends with a 20 A shlubby merman's gonna try to get chummy He may look like a watery wimp When in fact he's a bloodthirsty shrimp In the year 1,000,000 ½ Humankind is enslaved by giraffe Man must pay for all his misdeeds When the treetops are stripped of their leaves
Woah this is so interesting that it's scary; this video came out in 2012 and not a single comment had been layed. However the video has about 27 comments, and they were all put up today except one. One telling the video is old and without any comments; must been time travel. (And that (first) comment it's only a week old) Dude this matrix paradox is and broken. Fascinating.
This was definitely one of the best episodes in the series. What’s interesting is that it came out during the revival on Comedy Central and not on the original Fox run
Im curious what they meant by the year "one million and a half". The subtitles suggest that its the millionth year and 6 months but in all the other cases they specifically travelled EXACTLY x amount of years into the future
Additionally, the more clever thing about this timetravelling-scene is the fact, that they did a little cameo in disentchantmend were they were seen in a fortunetelling ball.
I like that in this time line humanity has evolved to be the primary species of earth, collapsed as the apes took over, became the primary species *again*, and then collapsed *again* and become slaves to Giraffes.
Idk I’ve never watched any Futurama clips but suddenly I’ve started getting some in my recommended videos tab... strangely enough I’ve been watching a lot of Futurama on Hulu though before this
Using this song parody is secretly GENIUS. The end of the original song 2525 is "But through eternal night, the twinkling of starlight So very far away, maybe it's only yesterday" and then repeats the same 2525 chorus back again. Sounds familiar 😉
This was the saddest and best episode in the series the fact that fry never saw the old characters in the show it just makes me tear up I love this episode but to be honest I wish it never existed like every time I watch the show now I just remember that the main characters are all dead and the rest are clones.
Can I just mention that whatever it was the giraffe did even made BENDER sad and willing enough to leave after seeing it, and this is a guy who kills daily.
I love the idea that each subsequent civilization would build their Statue of Liberty right next to the old ones
Also bender is so sad when the treetops are stripped of their leaves.
as good a place as any
I really wish there was a joke here with 5 Eiffel Towers.

@@pumpkingamebox problem with that is Planet Express is located in a future New York, USA, so when they travel through time it’s usually in the same general area.
I love how they added "1/2" just so it could rhythm with "giraffe".
Or maybe it's the other way around...
or maybe the giraffes wanted years to be counted by the half 👀

"We can't go back in time but we can go forward until they invent backwards time machine" Brilliant.
Which didn't work, but they did find out that the universe keeps starting over with the big bang again and again.
Actually it did work, but they keep missing the peak of civilization at each turns and just appear at each and everytimes civilization goes downhill.
Wouldn't they need to exist in one time period in order to impact people into inventing backwards time machines?

In the year 1,000,000 ½
Humankind is enslaved by giraffe
Man must pay for all his misdeeds
When the treetops are stripped of their leaves
HEEEYYYY!!! Boris The Animal!
I, personally, welcome our giraffe overlords.
This was my favorite episode when this aired. I wondered what was beyond the year 3000 on Futurama and this solved our questions.
Legit had no idea the song was based on a real song, "In The Year 2525". Just heard it for the first time and its dark! Lol
Woah this is so interesting that it's scary; this video came out in 2012 and not a single comment had been layed. However the video has about 27 comments, and they were all put up today except one. One telling the video is old and without any comments; must been time travel. (And that (first) comment it's only a week old) Dude this matrix paradox is and broken. Fascinating.
Jonte Mod what if the uploader just waited 6 years to set this video on public? *thinking face*
it's just the algorithm
this is how brains work, similar people watch the same videos in the same month
This lives rent free in my head, its been a good 10 years since i watched it so thats something
"Space pilot" ="The Late Philip J.Fry"??
Nope, it's Fry's nephew, named after him. There's an episode based on the mix up of the two characters.
no game of thrones... its indeed about his nephew, the first person to set foot on mars, philip fry
1:34 Fry's facial expression speaks volumes
See....
I’ve always said that we would pay for our misdeeds when the treetops are stripped of their leaves.
This just proves it
Finally! It's no longer flagged as a TH-cam Kids video! Come on, COPPA! Futurama is not for kids!
Yeah. 2020 was the year where everything was messed up with COPPA.
This was definitely one of the best episodes in the series. What’s interesting is that it came out during the revival on Comedy Central and not on the original Fox run
Im curious what they meant by the year "one million and a half". The subtitles suggest that its the millionth year and 6 months but in all the other cases they specifically travelled EXACTLY x amount of years into the future
My guess is so it could rhyme with giraffe...
I miss Futurama!! I also miss the old Comedy Central logo.
I’ve never seen futurama and came across this by chance…
I think I have to watch futurama now
Just watched 10 seasons so far, not disappointed. Give it a shot :)
In the year 252525 Elder Scrolls 6 still won’t be out. How do I know this? Cause I’m from the year 252525
Noooooooooo!
So long Earth thanks for all the air and whatnot
In the year one million and a half Mankind is enslaved by Giraffe, I love it.
IN THE YEAR ONE MILLION AND A HALF
I like the control lever that reminds me of the old movies of HG Wells Time Machine
Best detail is that bender is laughing all the time until he realitzed in the year 1.000.000 1/2 that it seems not to be possible to go back
Man this show was good. Episode like this are simply 10/10
this song still gives me the spooks
The original song was much scarier.
The original song is Zager and Evans-In the Year 2525
Additionally, the more clever thing about this timetravelling-scene is the fact, that they did a little cameo in disentchantmend were they were seen in a fortunetelling ball.
This episode was awesome, and the way they took care of the time travel paradox was shrot and simple, nice!
There was no time travel paradox since they were not traveling through time.
I like that in this time line humanity has evolved to be the primary species of earth, collapsed as the apes took over, became the primary species *again*, and then collapsed *again* and become slaves to Giraffes.
I'd sometimes rewatch this just to hear this song again
Thanks for uploading it
I like how they hired the original singer to redo this song based on the plot.
Actually, it wasn't a "second big bang." They'd merely gone gone around in a circle and come back to the point of the first big bang.
I love how they all built their statue of liberty in the same spot
Damn, the Statue of Liberty was built to last through 5 apocalypses.
Idk I’ve never watched any Futurama clips but suddenly I’ve started getting some in my recommended videos tab... strangely enough I’ve been watching a lot of Futurama on Hulu though before this
___________ they know
Sadly everything you do on the internet is autonomously monitored and the information sent to companies.
Is it sad? Clearly you like Futurama, so I assume you're not too upset that you're getting suggestions for it. Is it going to hurt you somehow?
I had no hopes when Futurama started back up after Season 5. But man, this was one of the best episodes of the entire series imo.
1:05
This castle looks weird in hindsight.
There only seems to be that one tower inside.
Using this song parody is secretly GENIUS.
The end of the original song 2525 is "But through eternal night, the twinkling of starlight
So very far away, maybe it's only yesterday" and then repeats the same 2525 chorus back again. Sounds familiar
😉
This was the saddest and best episode in the series the fact that fry never saw the old characters in the show it just makes me tear up I love this episode but to be honest I wish it never existed like every time I watch the show now I just remember that the main characters are all dead and the rest are clones.
The song this is based off of is called "In the Year 2525"
i love the dark humor in this episode
they really just pumped out this banger for a minute long sequence
This episode is one of the best love stories ever conceived on TV.
I prefer the one about Leela's dreams
Can I just mention that whatever it was the giraffe did even made BENDER sad and willing enough to leave after seeing it, and this is a guy who kills daily.
The Giraffe part is my favourite.
My favourite episode
Futurama is my fav show.
I bloody love this video. Ive watched it about a million times.
Credit where it is due: this is a parody of a song by Zager and Evans called "In the Year 2525"
All this has happened before, Dr. Zaius. All this will happen again.
