  • Listen up meat bags, we're taking a look at a Futurama Iceberg. Maybe I'll do part two in the future? Which character was secretly in the pilot? What turned Bender into a criminal? What role was Fry's Mom originally going to play?

    PTSD doesn't make you dumb, being in the Navy myself, I can tell you Zap is more a reference about how Officers see themselves after being disconnected from the troops for so long, especially on a ship where distinctions are most apparent. A Captain of a ship even today has his own personnal stewart and like other Officers he eats at a separate galley, because of this some of them definetly become disconnected from reality over time and Zap is a great caricature of this.

      Oh yeah, I remember someone in the Navy telling me his Officer would divert the ship dozens of miles off-course by ordering the helmsman to turn the ship just so the sun wouldn't shine in his eyes when he had his morning coffee. All that fuel and time just so he never had to sit in another chair.

      Dude I know! "Disconnected" is a perfect way to put it! I was in the army, I was a 19 kilo from 2003 to 2012 and I deployed to Iraq four times, and from my second deployment to my last appointment whenever we would leave Kuwait and go into Iraq, we'd always spend a month at fob Liberty to draw/sign for crew serve weapons and do maintenance on vehicles and stuff like that, basically everything we're going to need to run missions out of the post that we're going to be living and working out of for the next year, and fob Liberty is a super cushy post. They have a swimming pool, food courts with American fast food, massive Chow holes that serve gourmet cuisine, like that stuff is good! Internet, shower trailers, real toilets, at least one big PX, and after we finish doing what we have to do there us grunts that actually run combat missions and our company level commands go out to some shitty little post and the most dangerous areas of the country, while the battalion and brigade level of command and HQ soldiers stayed in the green zone living the cushy life, no running missions, no worries of mortars or rockets coming in, and there are guys who's when deployment is at places like fob Liberty! anyway, talk about being disconnected from your soldiers man... Once in a great while they'd come do a mandatory check-in on us and nit pick about how our uniforms are dirty or have blood stains, guys ain't shaved, how the food sucks, why don't we have a decent latrine for them to use, why are guys walking outside without their BDU/ACU tops on or covers on, blah blah blah, and the thing is these high high brass/enlisted dudes never had to do things like we did or love how we did bc when they were still young and coming up, it was peace time in the 80s n sht, and by the time Iraq happened, they were already so far up the COC that they didn't _have_ to do the things we did bc they're driving a desk or flying a filing cabinet, plus they're too old, and then we'd come back home and they'd give this year jerking speech to the families about the hardships "they faced", when in reality those guys would visit for half a day and just talk mad sht and then leave back to their single man trailers with AC and built-in latrines and their cinnabon and TV.

      I think the better term they could’ve used would be that he had a full on mental breakdown which remained ongoing.

    Fun fact: there's actually quite a few people who believe (or believed) that Nibbler's shadow was added to the pilot after it first aired. To prove to some of those people that the shadow was always there, one of my friends found, ripped, and uploaded a VHS recording of the original airing of Futurama's first episode, showing the shadow was always there.
    Plus there were other ways of proving it; the season 1 DVD release has animatic and storyboard versions of the pilot and the shadow is in those as well.

    A point on Bender becoming a criminal, I have an additional rub.
    In the episode "The Birdbot of Ice-Catraz," when Bender is damaged, he reboots. When he reboots, he analyzes his surroundings...which are full of penguins. As a result, Bender opens his "penguin" file and acts and behaves as a penguin to fit in.
    If this logic is applied to Bender in the pilot, it only makes sense that he would become a criminal as he "reboots" in the Hall of Criminals.

    The bender not using binary theory is supported in s4 e8 Godfellas, In which bender states "Hey, that galaxy's signaling in binary! I gotta signal back! But I only know enough binary to ask where the bathroom is." If Bender ran off of binary he wouldn't only know one sentence

    • @samuelzuleger5134
      @samuelzuleger5134 2 ปีที่แล้ว +24

      I think the shock rebooted him. In the episode "The Birdbot of Ice-Catraz," Bender is damaged and rebooted. When he reboots, he is surrounded by penguins and thus follows penguin programming. When Bender got shocked, he was in the Hall of Criminals in the Head Museum. Thus, he would reboot as a criminal.
      As far as the suicide booths, Bender units always have a back up...since Bender doesn't have one, and is thus, technically, mortal, he may have a fear or hatred of death and, by extension, the suicide booths. The only way he could get at them was by ripping them off.
      Either that, or its a silly gig in a cartoon sit-com that had low prospects of making it.

    • @battlesheep2552
      @battlesheep2552 ปีที่แล้ว +21

      Well it is implied he's killing himself because he found out the girders he's been bending have been used to make suicide booths. Could be that he's ripping them off not out of greed or love of crime, but because he doesn't want to endorse the suicide booths by giving them money

    14:20 Disenchantment can still be set in the past (well kind of). It's true that Dr. Farnsworth's time machine only travels to the future, but towards the end of the episode, when they reach the end of time, the universe ends and restarts a new big bang from scratch and this new universe plays out identically to its previous iteration that we had been following in the show up until this point (let's call them Universe A & B). It's very possible that Fry, Bender, and Farnsworth when seen in Disenchantment are simply travelling forward in time through universe B.
    So the show itself is set in the past of Universe B, but because it is the same history as Universe A, we can just say it's taking place in the past.

    One theory I have is that Zap Branagin is also from the year 1990~; he seems to have decent knowledge of 70's-90's music, and other things. It would make sense, he tricked people into believing he was a grand commander by means of old shows/movies. This gives credence to why he is completely stupid about alien races, why he was uninformed about the Star Trek wars (not only because he didn't live through the backlash but to distance his knowledge from the clear shatter role he has developed.)

    I think Zoidberg’s lack of understanding on human anatomy might be that most of the aliens we see have one or multiple quirks to their biologies.
    Kif’s species can have naturally pregnant males and turn into flies when they get old and the decapodians have claws as strong as a bender unit’s hand and can squirt ink and weird stuff from their mouth tendrils.
    Humans are kinda boring in comparison, so he probably expects all kinds of wacky biological stuff that simply isn’t there

    As a die hard futurama fan this video is interesting. Was hoping for more in depth entries along with more entries overall. Definitely missed a lot of things but no fear as I have time to throw away!
    - The Lost Adventure. viewable via buying the futurama game for PS2, Beast With a Billion Backs DVD or of course reuploads on TH-cam. A game where Mom attempts to take over the universe and the crew trying to stop them
    - Benders life before Planet Express. Speculating about his past is quite fun, especially since it’s quite unknown. It’s shown in the pilot he’s obviously in a dark place also being surprised by being cared about. We’re also aware his father is dead.
    In episodes such as a Pharaoh to Remember or Godfellas he’s shown to have insecurity in his meaning in the universe. In Ghost in the Machines he’s shown to quickly snap when hearing Fry didn’t value robot lives as much as human ones. Behaviors like this usually happen due to past traumas (most likely emotional and/or physical neglect). It’s very possible his life before the show takes place was incredibly depressing
    - DVD extras. In the DVDs you can check out a lot of the other options for some new interesting futurama contents! Including, but not limited to: storyboards/animatics, deleted scenes, 3D model show offs and extra images/drawings!
    - Radiorama. A pretty unknown futurama episode. It’s a podcast! Listen to it on Spotify if it seems interesting

    Trinary was implemented in some experimental soviet computers, but the benefits are only ever really marginal. It's a lot more complex to implement and doesn't really do anything binary can't except divides multiples of 3 a little bit better, which can be made up for by just tossing more cheap binary material at it. There actually are some uses when you'd like to have "yes/no/maybe" without a fourth option, but this can basically be simulated with certain kinds of transistor that can be in a half-on state.
