6 years after her passing, this still reduces me to a tearful mess. As such I don't read the comments often but thanks everyone for sharing your experiences, feelings and opinions on the subject. It's a nice reminder we're all just emotional humans and it's okay to be one.
Sometimes it's easy to forget that the core of Fry's character is a tragedy. A man from the past stuck in the future. Everyone he once loved is gone. It's moments like these that really highlight Futurama's charm.
@@ste9281 and also as the show goes on he starts to realize that the idea he used to have that the people in his life wouldn’t care if he disappeared and would be glad was wrong. Which makes it more tragic when you remember they never found out what happened to Fry
Fry's mother thought she was just dreaming about her son again. She never knew that was actually him and the last time they would see each other. Maybe that smile at the end was mother's intuition telling her that he's ok?
I’d like to think so, in her time line she truly doesn’t know what happened to him. He could be dead for all she knows. So hopefully she knew he was okay after. It atleast gave her comfort which is nice. Imagine if our dreams of loved ones who are gone are really them just saying hi / goodbye but we truly don’t know it because dreams are just dreams to us.. crazy. Maybe next time I have a dream of a loved one who’s gone, I’ll take a moment to just embrace them and feel their skin, smell their smell.. one last time.
Not the last time she'd see him though. The last time he'd see her. Not the same thing though. Let me tell you a story about a man named Lars. So she does see Fry again. At least his temporal paradox clone who goes back in time and is, for all intents and purposes, Fry. He spends a few years in the past living as Fry before Bender shows up.
I think that’s what got me so hard about this scene. He says he had so much to tell her but in the end, everything that’s happened doesn’t matter. She’s there in front of him and he just wants to hold her one last time.
That hug is all he needed to tell. He missed her, he loves her and always has. He’s sorry he’s gone but where he is, he’s safe and though he can’t come back; he wants her to know that everything is okay. That hug is the bit of closure that he and his mother needed. Even in a dream; the smile Fry’s mother has tells everything. She understands.
Fry seemed happy to be away from his family when he first arrived in the future, but as the series goes on, we see how much he actually does miss them….and how much they were saddened by his disappearance
"Make it count my friend." - Nibbler That moment hits me the hardest. Wishing that my mother, who is gone now, to know that she is deeply missed and loved by me.
4 year old comment but whatever. That’s what got me the most. You could see him wanting to think of what to say but all that comes out is an embrace because all that needs to be said. It’s beautiful, it’s tragic, it’s perfect. The writers knew exactly what to do and the animators nailed it with that little moment of him thinking of what to say.
2 Months after my dad passed away, when I was dreaming my dad popped up and I just said "dad" and hugged him until I woke up with tears in my eyes, really relatable.
When my mum died I used to go to bed and pray I would dream about her, just to see her one more time. The gift fry received would be worth more than anything you can imagine even now I would give up everything for 5 more minutes with her.
I guess i was really lucky. When my grandma died, whom i havent seen in years, after watching this episode i had a same dream, where i just hugged her one last time
What really gets me about this and makes me cry like a baby is the fact that he tells her he has so much to say yet in the end all he can bring himself to do is have her hold him again. You know what happened but because the show is generally meant to make you laugh you forget that their son just disappeared one day and they never saw him again.
+Kirsten Abel Yeah its surprising how hard some comedy cartoons can hit you emotionally. This episode, the episode Jurassic Bark where the ending shows Fry's dog getting old as he waits for him outside the pizza shop year after year.... I don't know if you've seen Rick and Morty but its the last cartoon youd expect to get emotional about but even with that show there are some super deep and emotional parts like the end of the Unity alien episode and the episode where Morty talks to his sister Summer about burying his own corpse in the backyard.Damn I cant wait for Rick and Morty season 3.
+Kirsten Abel Now see I dont want to be that guy who ruins everything and honestly this point is mainly a personal problem I have with Benders Big Score. It's that all these emotional moments for Fry's family and Seymour are kind of made less impactful when Fry immediately comes back after being frozen because time travel.
+Kirsten Abel I just watched the episode game of tones which ends with the dream of fry mother , and I was very touched , I cried even have 24 years and I have quite missed to have more time with my mother , futurama surprising in Some on the 2nd , congratulations for comment , Brazilian hugs
This scene always gets me when you look at it realistically: it's a 20 something year old young man (kid, really) embracing his mother who he hasn't seen in 1,000 years. It's a kid who is scared and shoved into this new world with no training, no awareness. Everyone he's ever known has died and he has to make do in this new world. And in this brief time, he gets to embrace his mother again, the woman who gave him life and cared for him more than any other. Never got to say goodbye, just gone.
He was *frozen* for 1,000 years. He was not concious. So at the time of this airing, he hasn't seen his mom in 13 years. Secondly, his mom has always been portrayed as a horrible, un-caring mother and they just made her sweet her for the sake of emotion here.
Actually one single scene was enough to show that the bond mother-child is, although not ideal, deep. In turn, this makes the scene touching and outstanding well written.
Game Of Tones, Luck Of The Fryish, Jurassic Bark, & The Sting always, ALWAYS hit me in the feels. I'm so glad they're bringing this show back. Futurama forever🧡
Let's just say that there are some moments where they do try to make you feel emotional for most of the Characters. Fry, Leela, Bender, and Professor Farnsworth. Fry with his Parents, his older brother Yancey and his Dog Seymour, Leela when flashback of her growing up, bender when he was a baby and hermes saved him, and Farnsworth with his Parents.
I'll never forget watching this episode for the first time in my girlfriend's bed, on her laptop. We were both 22, and while she had been asleep for hours, I was having regular trouble sleeping at night. We were binge watching Futurama for the first time around that month, and seemingly out of nowhere, this scene hit me... As it turned out, my mother had just died in a car accident almost a year before, when I was 21, and I had been doing my best to distract myself from the grief, the shock and the crippling loneliness I felt. I remember the tears that started to silently pour outta me... and while they still do, that night, it felt like a sign from somewhere otherworldly. I couldn't breathe or speak, I could only watch, and hear her voice and mine over Fry's and his mother's. A feeling that hasn't changed to this day. Thank you Futurama, for this gift. I love you Mom, I miss you everyday.
there is No Show Ever There Is Simply No Other Show Than This It Doesn't Matter if you are A Great Loser (He Starts As One) You Matter No Matter What Everybody Says You are Valuable That's What This Show Teaches Us Fry Is Valuable In 3000 and In 2000
TheAcer1981 I think you're right and reason for that is that is I think this feels the most relatable sadness, it's not really about someone going to the future here can just see as someone who lost their mother getting one last moment and all they can do is hug them. I happy my Mum is still around scenes like this make you feel how much you have to appreciate things like a hug.
Jurassic bark was straight up depressing but it never really moved me in any way, even though I think dogs are awesome. This and Luck of the Fryish hit hard though.
Exactly. This scene works for both people who have lost their moms but also for moms who have lost their children. Both tragic, but I cannot fathom the amount of pain a parent has when their child disappears and they get no closure.
He appears earlier in the episode in Fry's dream, and Fry shrank him down to pocket-size. That still doesn't really explain how he found a way into Fry's mother's dream, though.
Man...this episode, the one with Fry's dog, the one where his brother named his son after him, and the final episode where he and Leela grow old together kill me every single time. My heart hurts now. I like to rewatch these episodes when they don't hurt me enough and I want to hurt more.
@@denji526 dude! He is a wimp crying about his feelings! His friends are gonna think less of him cuz he is showing weakness for a freaking cartoon! Get that drama BS outta here you punk
Super Vidya Brothers You love many childish things far past when a respectable adult would. No one is arguing your humiliating exposition, especially as you seem to extend it into what you call a "career" at family dinners.
Mr. Mark yeah but would it be worth it in the end considering all Fry had to give up? I mean he does get leela because of those sacrifices..... worth it.
ĞÆMƏŘ ŁÏVƏ Sadly. It's not about it being worth it. Yes Fry had to give everything to save the world in the future. But in bender' big score it was shown that no matter what Fry could no longer belong in the past. He had a whole other life. With the planet express crew, with all his adventures in the future. And with Leela. Once you've adjusted yourself to a whole other level of existence. It's hard to transition back. But I think it's sweet. That slowly but surely. Fry got to in a way. Make amends and final goodbyes to his family. Even if the Seymour one was too bittersweet to bear. And his old 'girlfriend' from the past adjusted almost better and on her own. Seeing as she's only been in like two episodes. But she didn't seem to ever care about what and who she left behind. My point being: In a scenario such as Fry's, you're going to have bittersweet feelings. But if you stay where you went. And can still have a final amending with your long-gone loved ones. Where you started. Doesn't seem All too horrible
@@amyschildgamerlive4519 For Fry, I'm not sure the term worth it applies. He realized in the greater scheme of things he had a much larger purpose, and that the past was no longer where he belonged. Even when he went back, he never really was able to recapture what it was he lost. He still loved Leela and the people from the future, and as soon as he realized he was Lars, he knew his path. While he loved his family, he loved her more which says a lot.
The most emotional scenes always involve Fry's Family: Seymour waiting for him Being in his Mother's dream His Brother naming his son after him Bonding with his Dad ice fishing
Yellow Pikmin88 Kinda fitting honestly. Able to sum up fry's old life knowing that's how much his family cared about him even though they never really show it with the flashbacks that involve all of them together excluding Seymour of course and I guess the ice fishing with his dad.
It’s because out of everyone Fry has lost and had to sacrifice the most. It was up to him to save the universe so he was forced out of his life and into one in which everyone he had ever met was long dead. He’s also a genuinely nice character because no matter how long he had to chase leela he never blamed her for not loving him he always just tried to improve HIMSELF to be with her and make her happy regardless. He is caught between belonging to a group of friends and belonging to his family but cannot choose both which I think really resonates with fans because we know that no matter what century he’s in he’ll be some level of heartbroken over someone.
I know this is years late, but for anyone out there reading this - the reason is because Fry is the only character who is able to ground the show into reality. As the viewer, we can (logically) relate most to Fry. In a narrative sense, we are Fry - we’re his emotions, his thoughts, his opinions, etc... So when something happen to Fry, you are able to empathize with him the most because he is essentially the “window character” that allows us to truly understand this mysterious universe that Futurama is housed in. Fry’s moments hurt so bad because we can genuinely relate to those types of moments in one form or another. Gotta add - that isn’t to say that other characters didn’t also have great moments (Leela’s parents, Zoidberg’s girlfriend, the professor’s yearning for a protege and a real son).
@Fanon, this is 100% the saddest episode. Jurassic Bark is sad, but animals come and go. You only have one Mom, and Fry lost his way before he should’ve.
I wasn't ready for how sad this was. I'm currently going through this at the moment. My mother recently lost her fight to COVID-19. And watching this brought me to tears. Way to fucking go Futurama. You've proven to me, YET AGAIN, that even the manliest man is no match for your emotional moments.
My mom passed away in a car accident when I was 14. This scene makes me cry because I never got the chance to say I love you to her and we had a big fight before she left the house. Would give anything in the world just to see her again.
I realize this is two years old, but I am truly sorry. Not a day goes by that I'm not at least thankful I got to see my mother one last time before she died. I would give anything to hug her one more time...
I like to think that he deliberately did that because he wanted to differentiate Futurama and the Simpsons, along with one of them having a more adult orientated feel.
What gets me every time: in Space Pilot 3000, Fry is a lot less mature and intelligent than in this episode, and cheers when he realizes he'll never see his parents again. But here, his mature side comes out when we realize that Fry did love his family, and they loved him, which they showed in their own, unconventional ways (Fry's dad was hard on him so he'd grow up tough, his brother admired him enough that he named his son after him, and his mother's lack of attention made him more independent.)
Imagine waking up 1000 years into the future. I think Fry's cheering was just a coping mechanism. He was thrown into a new world filled with flying cars, robots, aliens and spaceships. That's a lot to comprehend.
@@derpoltergeist8265 i think it's less of a coping mechanism and more that the reality of his situation hadn't really sunk in yet. He was unhappy in his life, so waking up in the future was a whole new world of opportunity while since he'd just woken up he hadn't even really had a chance to miss his family yet.
He cheers when he thinks about never seeing his loved ones again, because he was unhappy with his life, and that day in particular was pretty crappy, so he was excited about the new life. But I guess after a while he began to miss those in the past.
As something crazy, my dad had cancer, and 3 nights before he died I had a dream when I drove him around in my car for the final time (I was 16 and he had never driven with me). That night I said I was sorry, and he told me there was an envelope in my desk. He never told me in person, and he never told my mum, yet 3 days later I found a letter in a bundle of notebooks I hadn't touched in 5 years. That letter hit me like a bullet to the chest.
My dad died in 04, and I've had the usual assortment of dreams you expect the grieving to have since. A few years ago though I was dating a girl into paganism and Wicca. She invited me to a day of the dead ritual with her circle. So, the point of the ritual was to connect to ancestors far back that you didn't know, and help them resolve themselves. Instead I ended up seeing my dad holding me telling me he was proud of me and that he was okay. My gf said he must have cheated and used the ritual to contact me instead of someone else. For obvious reasons I could never tell if the experience was a real supernatural vision, or if the whole ritual induced some sort of hypnosis-like dream where my mind told itself what I wanted to hear, but I cry even today thinking about it. I should point out that this wasn't the only spiritual-like experience I had with this girl though.
Definitely, as someone who was watching I wanted him to tell her everything but the human in me completely understands why he just hugged her. There just wasn’t enough time to say everything.. so a hug was the best way to say it all without having to
Futurama is one of the best shows ever made. The comedy is great, but then you get scenes like this, and poor old Seymour, that just rip into you and make you feel so deeply about the characters. I really miss it...
I love this show for that reason, 90% of the time I'm laughing and cracking up and the other 10% is spent tearing up or thinking. Any show that can do all three things (usually in a single episode) is pretty genius. And what makes it better is sometimes they throw Bender in there with a smart ass remark that lightens the mood without destroying it. This show is gold IMO.
Her waking up to fry’s photo beside her always makes me cry. It’s such a sad/happy moment. He gets to hug her one last time, and she gets to see him one last time. It’s heart wrenching. This is the best episode of futurama by far. It makes you feel something the other episodes can’t. True sadness.
Damnit, this is the last time I watch the endings to Jurassic Bark, Luck of the Fryrish, and Game of Tones all in a row. My tear ducts just can't take this kind of abuse.
IvoryTrance I think that's what makes this scene so great. He said himself that he has a lot to say to her, But in the end all he wanted was to hug her one last time.
It might have been nice if he said something like, "you don't have worry about me, I'm going to be ok. Even if we never see each other again, know that I love you"
My mom passed away 4 years ago. This scene now means a lot to me. Makes me teary eyed everytime I watch it. R.i.p mom, I miss you and love you so much.
What's beautiful is how Nibbler's species was able to connect mother and son through the mom's dreams. There was a thousand years separating them, but they both got the opportunity to just hold one another again.
Best episode of the series imo, just because of this scene. People say Jurassic Bark is the best because it deals with the loss of his dog and the tie to Hachiko. But this scene is so real. There are so many mothers that didn't get to tell their kids goodbye and that they loved them, or didn't get to just hold them. So many mothers that were lost, and so many children that have no idea what it's like to have a mother. And this scene just captures that love too perfectly. No words needed, just a warm embrace from the person that gave you life, that means more to you than anything else in the world.
Probably not. Allot of times when you record voice over work you're by yourself and they splice it all together in post. So Billy West was probably just by himself saying his lines. I'm sure they lose impact without the full conversation, but I bet all the team cried when they saw the finished episode
Voice actors getting emotional recording a scene is very common, because even if they’re doing it alone in a booth, the very concept of what they’re reading is an emotional sucker punch. I’ve read of a few voice actors straight up ugly crying at emotional scenes while they’ve been recording.
Fry never mentions how he misses his family(because he's a guy), but when there's an episode involving any of his family members, here come the water works(from him and the audience, admit it if you're a fan of the show you cried when the Hypnotoad wanted you to cry)
I’m not an emotional person, but this video reminded me of the last time I saw my great grandmother. She was a month away from 98 and dementia had taken away a lot from her. So much so that it had been nearly 4 years since she could remember me, and a lot of my cousins too. It was hard because I knew her really well. The last day I saw her, she was doing really bad. And we all talked and laughed together, we knew that it was probably not going to be long before she left this world. When it was time to go she said to me words that I will never forget, “Bye Bye, Colby... I love you sugar.” That was the first time in 4 years that she had remembered me. And I looked in her eyes and saw the look of recognition in them. It was also the first time that she told me that she loved me, so that made it even more special. I hugged her with tears in my eyes, as she said; “Now don’t you forget to come see me again!” That was the last day I saw her conscious. A few days later she went into a coma and never woke up. And I believe that this was the very video that was in my recommendation a few days later. There was one thing that she told me years ago that blesses me to this day, “Honey, one day Nannaw is going to be in Heaven and won’t be there to give you hugs and candy, and other things. But one thing I want you to remember is, when you see a lot of red birds it means that someone is thinking of you in Heaven, so when you see a red bird, there’s an angel or a Spirit near.” The day that my aunt called and said that she’d died, I sat on the front porch on the verge of tears and I saw something in my tree, I said; “Can it be?” And I threw a rock in the thick leaves, and a large group of red birds flew out of it. I fell to my knees and prayed ‘Thank you Lord for the time that I had her here with me.’ And almost every day since, I have always seen at least one red bird. I know the red bird thing is just a superstition but it brought me comfort and allowed me to accept that she had left this world, and how I can’t wait to see her again one day in the great kingdom of God. Whoever reads this have a great day and tell someone important to you that you love them.
You may enjoy the book "The Holographic Universe". Don't write off your beautiful experience as superstition; what we call reality is complicated, and we don't know nearly as much about it as we think we do.
I don't think there'll ever be a time, when I'll be able to watch this without tears. My mom passed away when I was 9, and I would give anything for a chance to talk to her, even in a dream.
I come back to this video a bunch, and man it kicks me right in the heart.. Both parents passed back in 2012, i was a 20 year-old pill popping mess of a human. Did alot of wrong to both of them, literally the shittiest son you could want, stealing, robbing and getting into stuff i shouldnt have. I kinda dont regret it because it built me into the strong willed person i think i currently am. My only regret is not having a chance to tell her how I'm sorry for everything. After they left this world i cleaned up and got my shit together. Cherish the simple things. Even fights and stupid phone calls from them. It wont last forever, and once its gone all that we have are those memories.
I just found it, and it made me blubber. My brother died back in 2020, and I only wish I could see him and our mom hugging the same way, or that her dreams could be as pleasant and memorable. This is the kind of scene, much like Luck of the Fryish's ending, that would have gotten me teary before, but now leaves me a quietly sobbing mess, I must admit. I'm glad to here you got yourself together, and I'm sure your parents are proud of you, from whereever they are.
+Cookie girl chica because futurama is at the point where the show can live on its past without creating new problems, nothing wrong with that. Theyve been around for so long that nostalgia and groening jokes is all that keeps them going, I fucking love futurama btw
+VvVLuffy True, but his duplicate in Bender's Big Score spent time with his entire family, not just Seymour. So I feel that didn't just contradict Jurassic Bark, but also this episode and especially this moment. UNLESS this dream of hers happened after his duplicate (Lars) froze himself in 2012.
+VvVLuffy well he left his dog alone for ages when he went off to sea. then pretty soon affter to freeze himself again. so symore losses him Three times
This more emotional to me now more then ever. I lost my mom one year as of today. All I want is to see her and hug her again. I miss you mom. Love you so much.
Futurama is still one of the best shows I’ve ever watched, it has the ability to make me howl laughing and then in its more quiet emotion moments make me cry like a small child. Fantastic storytelling
Damn this hit me hard, I don't mean to sound like "one of those guys" but after seeing this episode it made me tear up wishing I could do the same thing they did in this episode, lost my mom when I was 2 and never got a chance to know her
Įsäį Bvstøš This makes me very sad, because I actually got to know my mother, until she passed away 7 years ago, so when Fry hugs his mother, I can't help but shed a tear..
Įsäį Bvstøš if it's any comfort for you I live a 45 min. to one hour drive from my parents house in a different town so every time I go home for holidays and special occasions I always make it a point to hug my mom no matter how tired I am because I know someday I'm gonna lose her to the other side and I wanna make what's left of our time together count.
When Nibbler said "This isn't your dream Fry, it's your mothers dream." What a beautiful and absolutely soul-ripping moment. What we all would do just to get a moment like this. I've "travelled" 15 years into the future mom and still miss you every day. The creators of Futurama really are talented, and thank you for such an immense moment of motherly love.
fizzle mygrizzle I agree, I just think it isnt fair that SImpsons was so mainstream popular for so long while this amazing show struggled to stay on the air.
blame it mostly on intended age demographic, while simpsons has adult themes it can still be enjoyed by kids as well (with parent supervision) thats why they have all those simpsons toys that sell really well. futurama was never really intended for kids to watch and thus merchandising for the show was abysmal comparatively
Nothing touches the first 8 seasons of The Simpsons ! But everything after that can't really hold a candle to Futurama and what it accomplished. Both amazing shows!
+The Guy nope no gap holes at all.. when I saw the episode when nibler was the one that pushes fry in the cyro chamber I went back to season 1 pilot and I even saw nibler in it too.. I was amazed cause it happens seasons after.. I love futurama
@@psychedeliccarrie5921 What''s even crazier than that are the mathematical equations they snuck into some of the episodes, like that one where they all start switching bodies and they have to call the Harlem Globetrotters to fix the problem th-cam.com/video/J65GNFfL94c/w-d-xo.html
Losing my brother has been the hardest thing I’ve gone through in my life, and I remember my mom not being able to sleep and having nightmares and being up crying. This really hits the heart hard
This scene always reminds me that, even though our dreams are imaginary, the emotions they make us feel are fully real. There’s something comforting about that.
I rewatched the last part and man, emotions just came over me , everyone deserves a chance to say goodbye to their loved one, but we never do, I love u mom. I think about u everyday and every night, I don’t dream about u often but I will always remember u by looking at my daughter
I know with the other episodes with his father, brother, and dog were all really sad, however THIS one hit me hard and actually made me cry, I never had a mother nor mother figure in my life, it still tears me up a bit now
I remember watching this when I was young and not feeling anything but now that my mom has passed away two years ago this scene touches me in a way that no other media has. I miss you mama
Futurama deserved better than it ever had. It's profound, touching, charming, and at the same time, it's tragic, and gut wrenching, without losing the fundamentals of humor, it gives you all. I wish we could have more of it, but maybe that would ruin how perfect it is. This is a show that has a soul
No matter how many times I watch this, I still tear up and cry. Ladies and gentlemen, cherish every single moment with your loved ones. Because there'll be times in your life that you will want to hug them the most and you will not be able to. Please make sure that you do not have to live with that kind of regret..... it will tear you up inside.
The part where Fry turns in disbelief and says “Mom”… always gets me, as someone that has had a borderline estranged relationship with my own mom, due to being forced to live on my own, it just resonates. There’s a part of you that feels hurt by the days you missed, the holidays they had without you… but, the damage is done and at the end of the day being held by the person that made you doesn’t take away from the pain that you’ve endured, but it makes you feel whole and like the pain can actually go away even for just that moment. Literally everytime I watch this scene I explode in tears…
I lost my mother to cancer when I was 10. I've only had a couple dreams like this that I can remember, with the most recent happening the other night. In the dream she walked into the house, we hugged and I immediately started balling my eyes out and telling her everything I could (even though it sounded like gibberish with the crying) until I woke up a few moments later. I actually had a tear in my eye when i woke up too... that really hit me and I'm still thinking about it days later. I miss her
If there is something else after death, she is looking out for you and always will. You never truly die when you have children. She will always live through you.
And I love the cast members, especially David Herman. He might be the least known member of the cast, but he’s one of them. The way how he and Tress MacNeille did Leela’s parents convinced me how great he is.
as a person who can relate to this, I've lost my mother a while ago and it still hurts, treasure what you have with your parents when you're young. never take them for granted you never know when u won't ever see them again. seeing this episode strikes at my heart cuz I would probably do the same thing that fry did. I miss my mother and have so much I want to tell her, like how I'm finally graduating highschool, or am finally moving out soon to start my own life. ugh it sux.
After losing my brother a few years back, this scene means a lot to me. The only place I get to see him is in my dreams. Sometimes I get to hug him and stuff. This scene makes me bawl my eyes out.
6 years after her passing, this still reduces me to a tearful mess. As such I don't read the comments often but thanks everyone for sharing your experiences, feelings and opinions on the subject. It's a nice reminder we're all just emotional humans and it's okay to be one.
Jesus man, I'm so sorry, I hope you're doing better, even if these simple words don't mean anything.
Thank you my mna6
who's passing?
Cheers 🍻
Damn...
His mother’s dream was simply watching the Rose Bowl with her son. That part alone is what makes me cry
Holy fuck I didn’t realize that, thank you
As someone who has watched a thousand games with his dad... I need a minute.
dam..
Ouch. Thanks for pointing that out.
:)
God, the way she said, "I dreamed about you a lot since you disappeared" killed me.
That's why I love Tress Macneille. She and Katey Sagal always found a way to make people cry.
Broke me, too.
There’s so much I need to tell you… and say nothing at all just a hug
It also implies that she's aware this is real, and she has one last chance to see her son
Me too
Sometimes it's easy to forget that the core of Fry's character is a tragedy. A man from the past stuck in the future. Everyone he once loved is gone. It's moments like these that really highlight Futurama's charm.
Fry originally was happy he’s in the future but I think it began setting home to him that his family are now dead a couple of seasons later
@@ste9281 he started the show at 25 and ended it around 33, lots of maturing happened
@@ste9281 and also as the show goes on he starts to realize that the idea he used to have that the people in his life wouldn’t care if he disappeared and would be glad was wrong. Which makes it more tragic when you remember they never found out what happened to Fry
Like Captain America in the MCU.
Yeah and they played it off as a joke once he realised he was in the future
Fry's mother thought she was just dreaming about her son again. She never knew that was actually him and the last time they would see each other. Maybe that smile at the end was mother's intuition telling her that he's ok?
I’d like to think so, in her time line she truly doesn’t know what happened to him. He could be dead for all she knows. So hopefully she knew he was okay after. It atleast gave her comfort which is nice. Imagine if our dreams of loved ones who are gone are really them just saying hi / goodbye but we truly don’t know it because dreams are just dreams to us.. crazy. Maybe next time I have a dream of a loved one who’s gone, I’ll take a moment to just embrace them and feel their skin, smell their smell.. one last time.
It's the large portrait on her nightstand that also just shattered me at the end ...
I'm thinking she thought it was a dream as well. If only the family tried to learn what happened to him.
😪😢😥
Not the last time she'd see him though. The last time he'd see her. Not the same thing though.
Let me tell you a story about a man named Lars. So she does see Fry again. At least his temporal paradox clone who goes back in time and is, for all intents and purposes, Fry. He spends a few years in the past living as Fry before Bender shows up.

Out of all the shows he made Futurama was truly his masterpiece ❤️
Futurama was an amazing show. C:
Omg Joey, I use to watch your videos as a kid, you & link 🐶
Futurama will always be my favorite show of all time
@Mark Guerrero it could have gone on way longer tho, so many more ideas with futurama than simpsons cause its in the future already
Futurama was the best show ever will always be my fav ❤
He told her everything with that hug.
Actions speak louder than words.
I think that’s what got me so hard about this scene. He says he had so much to tell her but in the end, everything that’s happened doesn’t matter. She’s there in front of him and he just wants to hold her one last time.
That hug is all he needed to tell.
He missed her, he loves her and always has. He’s sorry he’s gone but where he is, he’s safe and though he can’t come back; he wants her to know that everything is okay.
That hug is the bit of closure that he and his mother needed. Even in a dream; the smile Fry’s mother has tells everything. She understands.
One of the simplest actions, that holds so much meaning.
i DREAMED you a Lot since you disappeared.....
Curse this condition where my eyes start to sweat randomly
I call it pain water.
my eyes water on random moments like when i go to bed
Sorry...think iv got some dust in my eyes 😰
I think it a pandemic cuz I got to
I'm not crying! You're Crying! It's just my allergies!
Fry seemed happy to be away from his family when he first arrived in the future, but as the series goes on, we see how much he actually does miss them….and how much they were saddened by his disappearance
I’m surprised fry didn’t visit his family in the past with a time ms gone.
@@darthmayhemsithknight7681 I think he was worried about time paradoxes
Yeah, his mother dreamed about him and his brother missed him so much he named his son after him.
Hopefully in the new seasons of Futurama he will visit his family. He does miss them in the series.

So much to say but to make it count, he hugged her, so much without any words. They miss eachother. To love is to lose and that is the greatest death.
He only has a short time to talk to her but instead of talking he just quietly hugs her and enjoys her embrace one more time. Such a fantastic show
4 year old comment but whatever. That’s what got me the most. You could see him wanting to think of what to say but all that comes out is an embrace because all that needs to be said. It’s beautiful, it’s tragic, it’s perfect. The writers knew exactly what to do and the animators nailed it with that little moment of him thinking of what to say.
2 Months after my dad passed away, when I was dreaming my dad popped up and I just said "dad" and hugged him until I woke up with tears in my eyes, really relatable.
When my mum died I used to go to bed and pray I would dream about her, just to see her one more time. The gift fry received would be worth more than anything you can imagine even now I would give up everything for 5 more minutes with her.
My thoughts exactly. I still wish I could have a dream like Fry did, even just hearing her voice.
So would i my friend so would i
It was the same with me only it’s my dad. Truth is I would pray for time to stop so I could keep dreaming of my dad
I guess i was really lucky. When my grandma died, whom i havent seen in years, after watching this episode i had a same dream, where i just hugged her one last time
I used to have dreams of my mum often after she passed , now they are far in between . When they happen I am very grateful for them .
What really gets me about this and makes me cry like a baby is the fact that he tells her he has so much to say yet in the end all he can bring himself to do is have her hold him again.
You know what happened but because the show is generally meant to make you laugh you forget that their son just disappeared one day and they never saw him again.
This makes me cry for the same reason. I have hours upon hours of things I'd like to talk about with my mom but in the end I would just want a hug.
+Bwebb989 yeah, talking probably won't change anything anyway
+Kirsten Abel Yeah its surprising how hard some comedy cartoons can hit you emotionally. This episode, the episode Jurassic Bark where the ending shows Fry's dog getting old as he waits for him outside the pizza shop year after year.... I don't know if you've seen Rick and Morty but its the last cartoon youd expect to get emotional about but even with that show there are some super deep and emotional parts like the end of the Unity alien episode and the episode where Morty talks to his sister Summer about burying his own corpse in the backyard.Damn I cant wait for Rick and Morty season 3.
+Kirsten Abel Now see I dont want to be that guy who ruins everything and honestly this point is mainly a personal problem I have with Benders Big Score. It's that all these emotional moments for Fry's family and Seymour are kind of made less impactful when Fry immediately comes back after being frozen because time travel.
+Kirsten Abel I just watched the episode game of tones which ends with the dream of fry mother , and I was very touched , I cried even have 24 years and I have quite missed to have more time with my mother , futurama surprising in Some on the 2nd , congratulations for comment , Brazilian hugs
This scene always gets me when you look at it realistically: it's a 20 something year old young man (kid, really) embracing his mother who he hasn't seen in 1,000 years. It's a kid who is scared and shoved into this new world with no training, no awareness. Everyone he's ever known has died and he has to make do in this new world. And in this brief time, he gets to embrace his mother again, the woman who gave him life and cared for him more than any other. Never got to say goodbye, just gone.
He was *frozen* for 1,000 years. He was not concious. So at the time of this airing, he hasn't seen his mom in 13 years.
Secondly, his mom has always been portrayed as a horrible, un-caring mother and they just made her sweet her for the sake of emotion here.
Actually one single scene was enough to show that the bond mother-child is, although not ideal, deep. In turn, this makes the scene touching and outstanding well written.
Not everyone's die, at least richard nixon still alive and kicking.
You forget about head museum. celebrity & politicians still have a consciousness after death.
Nathiboi you can say they did that yancy at well. If anything it was a case of you don't know what you have till its gone
Game Of Tones, Luck Of The Fryish, Jurassic Bark, & The Sting always, ALWAYS hit me in the feels. I'm so glad they're bringing this show back. Futurama forever🧡
You forgot cold warriors
Also the end of the devils hands makes me cry every time
The Late Philip J Fry really hits different when you are by yourself
And Leela's homeworld. I cry like a baby at the scene where it shows Leela reuniting with her parents and how they watched out for her from birth.
Let's just say that there are some moments where they do try to make you feel emotional for most of the Characters. Fry, Leela, Bender, and Professor Farnsworth. Fry with his Parents, his older brother Yancey and his Dog Seymour, Leela when flashback of her growing up, bender when he was a baby and hermes saved him, and Farnsworth with his Parents.
I'll never forget watching this episode for the first time in my girlfriend's bed, on her laptop. We were both 22, and while she had been asleep for hours, I was having regular trouble sleeping at night. We were binge watching Futurama for the first time around that month, and seemingly out of nowhere, this scene hit me...
As it turned out, my mother had just died in a car accident almost a year before, when I was 21, and I had been doing my best to distract myself from the grief, the shock and the crippling loneliness I felt. I remember the tears that started to silently pour outta me... and while they still do, that night, it felt like a sign from somewhere otherworldly. I couldn't breathe or speak, I could only watch, and hear her voice and mine over Fry's and his mother's. A feeling that hasn't changed to this day.
Thank you Futurama, for this gift. I love you Mom, I miss you everyday.
This is so amazing.
That was incredible man. I lost a family member too and something just tells me they know we do love and miss them.
Futurama gives everyone the feels
Get off Reddit.
hehe. came from there too. and glad i did. i just got a little misty-eyed. futurama is great stuff.
there is No Show Ever There Is Simply No Other Show Than This It Doesn't Matter if you are A Great Loser (He Starts As One) You Matter No Matter What Everybody Says You are Valuable That's What This Show Teaches Us Fry Is Valuable In 3000 and In 2000
greatest. show ever Indeed
Krazy Hatter, fry may be a great loser but he has a big heart
He wanted to say so much to his mom but all he wanted was a hug
I think that hug summed up everything he needed to say.
That's all that was needed.
A hug worth a thousand words
There is no closure or anything that HAD to be said, you just don’t want to sound selfish and say “it’s my mom, I just want to hug her again”
Because he couldn’t! He teared up and only a hug from her could help that.
In my personal opinion, this tops Jurassic Bark and the luck of the fryish as the saddest moment in Futurama.
TheAcer1981 I think you're right and reason for that is that is I think this feels the most relatable sadness, it's not really about someone going to the future here can just see as someone who lost their mother getting one last moment and all they can do is hug them. I happy my Mum is still around scenes like this make you feel how much you have to appreciate things like a hug.
Nah, Jurassic Bark is pure sadness, depression with no redemption. This is joyful
Lord Defekator bark was sad but i didnt even feel like luck of the fryrish or game of tones did
Jurassic bark was straight up depressing but it never really moved me in any way, even though I think dogs are awesome.
This and Luck of the Fryish hit hard though.
TheAcer1981 I though Lars was absolutely the most tear jerking.
when she opens her eyes,looks at the picture,then closes them and smiles,as if she is a little more at peace,is when the tears really roll
Exactly. This scene works for both people who have lost their moms but also for moms who have lost their children. Both tragic, but I cannot fathom the amount of pain a parent has when their child disappears and they get no closure.
Just like me with my Dad

Karuminu2 ive been trying to figure out why he appears for years. Anyone know? One thing i learned is there is no mistakes in film/movie.
He appears earlier in the episode in Fry's dream, and Fry shrank him down to pocket-size. That still doesn't really explain how he found a way into Fry's mother's dream, though.
Seymour!!!!
What do you mean?
A sad one.
Man...this episode, the one with Fry's dog, the one where his brother named his son after him, and the final episode where he and Leela grow old together kill me every single time. My heart hurts now.
I like to rewatch these episodes when they don't hurt me enough and I want to hurt more.
The one with his brother hits me the hardest

You love many childish things far past when a respectable adult would. No one is arguing your humiliating exposition, especially as you seem to extend it into what you call a "career" at family dinners.
Man when Nibbler's people are grateful...
Mr. Mark yeah but would it be worth it in the end considering all Fry had to give up? I mean he does get leela because of those sacrifices..... worth it.
ĞÆMƏŘ ŁÏVƏ Sadly. It's not about it being worth it. Yes Fry had to give everything to save the world in the future. But in bender' big score it was shown that no matter what Fry could no longer belong in the past. He had a whole other life. With the planet express crew, with all his adventures in the future. And with Leela. Once you've adjusted yourself to a whole other level of existence. It's hard to transition back. But I think it's sweet. That slowly but surely. Fry got to in a way. Make amends and final goodbyes to his family. Even if the Seymour one was too bittersweet to bear. And his old 'girlfriend' from the past adjusted almost better and on her own. Seeing as she's only been in like two episodes. But she didn't seem to ever care about what and who she left behind.
My point being: In a scenario such as Fry's, you're going to have bittersweet feelings. But if you stay where you went. And can still have a final amending with your long-gone loved ones. Where you started. Doesn't seem
All too horrible
@@amyschildgamerlive4519 For Fry, I'm not sure the term worth it applies. He realized in the greater scheme of things he had a much larger purpose, and that the past was no longer where he belonged. Even when he went back, he never really was able to recapture what it was he lost. He still loved Leela and the people from the future, and as soon as he realized he was Lars, he knew his path. While he loved his family, he loved her more which says a lot.
they kick you in to the freezing machine
And powerful!
The most emotional scenes always involve Fry's Family:
Seymour waiting for him
Being in his Mother's dream
His Brother naming his son after him
Bonding with his Dad ice fishing
Yellow Pikmin88 Kinda fitting honestly. Able to sum up fry's old life knowing that's how much his family cared about him even though they never really show it with the flashbacks that involve all of them together excluding Seymour of course and I guess the ice fishing with his dad.
you forgot Leela's parents always having been there for her.
It’s because out of everyone Fry has lost and had to sacrifice the most. It was up to him to save the universe so he was forced out of his life and into one in which everyone he had ever met was long dead. He’s also a genuinely nice character because no matter how long he had to chase leela he never blamed her for not loving him he always just tried to improve HIMSELF to be with her and make her happy regardless. He is caught between belonging to a group of friends and belonging to his family but cannot choose both which I think really resonates with fans because we know that no matter what century he’s in he’ll be some level of heartbroken over someone.
I know this is years late, but for anyone out there reading this - the reason is because Fry is the only character who is able to ground the show into reality. As the viewer, we can (logically) relate most to Fry. In a narrative sense, we are Fry - we’re his emotions, his thoughts, his opinions, etc...
So when something happen to Fry, you are able to empathize with him the most because he is essentially the “window character” that allows us to truly understand this mysterious universe that Futurama is housed in.
Fry’s moments hurt so bad because we can genuinely relate to those types of moments in one form or another. Gotta add - that isn’t to say that other characters didn’t also have great moments (Leela’s parents, Zoidberg’s girlfriend, the professor’s yearning for a protege and a real son).

Jurassic Bark is sad but as you get older this easily takes the cake as the saddest episode, never fails to bring out the waterworks
@Fanon, this is 100% the saddest episode. Jurassic Bark is sad, but animals come and go. You only have one Mom, and Fry lost his way before he should’ve.

I've always loved The Simpsons, but Matt Groening saved the most heart wrenching and beautiful scenes for Futurama.

I like to think that he deliberately did that because he wanted to differentiate Futurama and the Simpsons, along with one of them having a more adult orientated feel.

Too late...
too late.
What gets me every time: in Space Pilot 3000, Fry is a lot less mature and intelligent than in this episode, and cheers when he realizes he'll never see his parents again. But here, his mature side comes out when we realize that Fry did love his family, and they loved him, which they showed in their own, unconventional ways (Fry's dad was hard on him so he'd grow up tough, his brother admired him enough that he named his son after him, and his mother's lack of attention made him more independent.)
Imagine waking up 1000 years into the future. I think Fry's cheering was just a coping mechanism. He was thrown into a new world filled with flying cars, robots, aliens and spaceships. That's a lot to comprehend.
That's character development.
@@derpoltergeist8265 i think it's less of a coping mechanism and more that the reality of his situation hadn't really sunk in yet. He was unhappy in his life, so waking up in the future was a whole new world of opportunity while since he'd just woken up he hadn't even really had a chance to miss his family yet.
He cheers when he thinks about never seeing his loved ones again, because he was unhappy with his life, and that day in particular was pretty crappy, so he was excited about the new life. But I guess after a while he began to miss those in the past.
It's because when he had the worms they showed Fry what he was capable of. I think from there he set out to be a better person.

nice reference
Thanks for that. Queue the water works.
So it is, we should head back
I understood that reference
As something crazy, my dad had cancer, and 3 nights before he died I had a dream when I drove him around in my car for the final time (I was 16 and he had never driven with me). That night I said I was sorry, and he told me there was an envelope in my desk. He never told me in person, and he never told my mum, yet 3 days later I found a letter in a bundle of notebooks I hadn't touched in 5 years. That letter hit me like a bullet to the chest.
My dad died in 04, and I've had the usual assortment of dreams you expect the grieving to have since. A few years ago though I was dating a girl into paganism and Wicca. She invited me to a day of the dead ritual with her circle. So, the point of the ritual was to connect to ancestors far back that you didn't know, and help them resolve themselves. Instead I ended up seeing my dad holding me telling me he was proud of me and that he was okay. My gf said he must have cheated and used the ritual to contact me instead of someone else. For obvious reasons I could never tell if the experience was a real supernatural vision, or if the whole ritual induced some sort of hypnosis-like dream where my mind told itself what I wanted to hear, but I cry even today thinking about it. I should point out that this wasn't the only spiritual-like experience I had with this girl though.
When I first saw this, I was so moved to tears when Fry and his mom hugged that I didn't see the whole ending.

I always appreciate how Fry instead of saying something all he can do at the point is to hug her, is one of the most human moments i have ever seen.
Definitely, as someone who was watching I wanted him to tell her everything but the human in me completely understands why he just hugged her. There just wasn’t enough time to say everything.. so a hug was the best way to say it all without having to
Futurama is one of the best shows ever made. The comedy is great, but then you get scenes like this, and poor old Seymour, that just rip into you and make you feel so deeply about the characters. I really miss it...
I love this show for that reason, 90% of the time I'm laughing and cracking up and the other 10% is spent tearing up or thinking.
Any show that can do all three things (usually in a single episode) is pretty genius. And what makes it better is sometimes they throw Bender in there with a smart ass remark that lightens the mood without destroying it.
This show is gold IMO.
The best part is that it gave her a some peace of mind
After she offered a piece of her hat.
Her waking up to fry’s photo beside her always makes me cry. It’s such a sad/happy moment. He gets to hug her one last time, and she gets to see him one last time. It’s heart wrenching. This is the best episode of futurama by far. It makes you feel something the other episodes can’t. True sadness.

Best episode of the series imo, just because of this scene. People say Jurassic Bark is the best because it deals with the loss of his dog and the tie to Hachiko. But this scene is so real. There are so many mothers that didn't get to tell their kids goodbye and that they loved them, or didn't get to just hold them. So many mothers that were lost, and so many children that have no idea what it's like to have a mother. And this scene just captures that love too perfectly. No words needed, just a warm embrace from the person that gave you life, that means more to you than anything else in the world.

The voice actors do such a great job. That "Mom?!" @ 1:22 sounded so sincere. Do you think they really tear up as they're recording?
These are legends. Even David Herman was good and much people don’t know him. Same with one-shot Katey Sagal.
Probably not. Allot of times when you record voice over work you're by yourself and they splice it all together in post. So Billy West was probably just by himself saying his lines. I'm sure they lose impact without the full conversation, but I bet all the team cried when they saw the finished episode
Yeah not gonna lie, hearing that made me tear up
Voice actors getting emotional recording a scene is very common, because even if they’re doing it alone in a booth, the very concept of what they’re reading is an emotional sucker punch. I’ve read of a few voice actors straight up ugly crying at emotional scenes while they’ve been recording.
I think the "There's so much I need to say" line was better 😭

I’m not an emotional person, but this video reminded me of the last time I saw my great grandmother. She was a month away from 98 and dementia had taken away a lot from her. So much so that it had been nearly 4 years since she could remember me, and a lot of my cousins too. It was hard because I knew her really well. The last day I saw her, she was doing really bad. And we all talked and laughed together, we knew that it was probably not going to be long before she left this world. When it was time to go she said to me words that I will never forget, “Bye Bye, Colby... I love you sugar.” That was the first time in 4 years that she had remembered me. And I looked in her eyes and saw the look of recognition in them. It was also the first time that she told me that she loved me, so that made it even more special. I hugged her with tears in my eyes, as she said; “Now don’t you forget to come see me again!” That was the last day I saw her conscious. A few days later she went into a coma and never woke up. And I believe that this was the very video that was in my recommendation a few days later. There was one thing that she told me years ago that blesses me to this day, “Honey, one day Nannaw is going to be in Heaven and won’t be there to give you hugs and candy, and other things. But one thing I want you to remember is, when you see a lot of red birds it means that someone is thinking of you in Heaven, so when you see a red bird, there’s an angel or a Spirit near.” The day that my aunt called and said that she’d died, I sat on the front porch on the verge of tears and I saw something in my tree, I said; “Can it be?” And I threw a rock in the thick leaves, and a large group of red birds flew out of it. I fell to my knees and prayed ‘Thank you Lord for the time that I had her here with me.’ And almost every day since, I have always seen at least one red bird. I know the red bird thing is just a superstition but it brought me comfort and allowed me to accept that she had left this world, and how I can’t wait to see her again one day in the great kingdom of God.
Whoever reads this have a great day and tell someone important to you that you love them.
You may enjoy the book "The Holographic Universe". Don't write off your beautiful experience as superstition; what we call reality is complicated, and we don't know nearly as much about it as we think we do.
I am a grown ass man and I am tearing up.
Medic_F93 there are exceptions to the rule. This is one of them.
I am a grown ass bearded Russian who saw war, I cry like a baby.
Join the club.
Mom....
holy Fuck did I just cry?
This hit hard, I lost my mom a few years back and I would give anything to have one more moment with her
I don't think there'll ever be a time, when I'll be able to watch this without tears. My mom passed away when I was 9, and I would give anything for a chance to talk to her, even in a dream.
I come back to this video a bunch, and man it kicks me right in the heart.. Both parents passed back in 2012, i was a 20 year-old pill popping mess of a human. Did alot of wrong to both of them, literally the shittiest son you could want, stealing, robbing and getting into stuff i shouldnt have. I kinda dont regret it because it built me into the strong willed person i think i currently am.
My only regret is not having a chance to tell her how I'm sorry for everything. After they left this world i cleaned up and got my shit together.
Cherish the simple things. Even fights and stupid phone calls from them. It wont last forever, and once its gone all that we have are those memories.
I just found it, and it made me blubber. My brother died back in 2020, and I only wish I could see him and our mom hugging the same way, or that her dreams could be as pleasant and memorable. This is the kind of scene, much like Luck of the Fryish's ending, that would have gotten me teary before, but now leaves me a quietly sobbing mess, I must admit. I'm glad to here you got yourself together, and I'm sure your parents are proud of you, from whereever they are.
futurama season 7 is just crying simulator 2015
I know why dose he have to have Such a sad past?
+Cookie girl chica because futurama is at the point where the show can live on its past without creating new problems, nothing wrong with that. Theyve been around for so long that nostalgia and groening jokes is all that keeps them going, I fucking love futurama btw
+oxDestroxo Season 7. Netflix fucked the seasons up.
+NightLock So did Sky TV.
+NightLock Aaah. Yeah I was wondering about that. Fixed.
Without a doubt the saddest ending of any episode
How bout the ending of Jurassic Bark?
Both are exceptionally emotional endings but I think this one hits closer to home.
the ending of jurrasic bark is sad but its not technically canon anymore since benders big score.
+VvVLuffy True, but his duplicate in Bender's Big Score spent time with his entire family, not just Seymour. So I feel that didn't just contradict Jurassic Bark, but also this episode and especially this moment. UNLESS this dream of hers happened after his duplicate (Lars) froze himself in 2012.
+VvVLuffy well he left his dog alone for ages when he went off to sea. then pretty soon affter to freeze himself again. so symore losses him Three times
Every time I see this episode it makes me be a little more grateful for the moments I have with the ones I love the most.
This more emotional to me now more then ever.
I lost my mom one year as of today.
All I want is to see her and hug her again.
I miss you mom. Love you so much.
this episode always makes me cry, no matter what. It’s beautiful.
I can never watch this without tearing up. This was always my favourite scene in the TV world.
1:35 Time to say "I got stuck in the applied cryogenics lab after a fake pizza delivery." Leave out the I. C. Wiener part.
This scene always has me crying. Not just a few tears but really crying. Futurama was such a great show.
Futurama is still one of the best shows I’ve ever watched, it has the ability to make me howl laughing and then in its more quiet emotion moments make me cry like a small child. Fantastic storytelling
Hard day at work, I know what'll cheer me up. Watching some classic Futurama clips.
Oh dear I'm crying now.
Damn this hit me hard, I don't mean to sound like "one of those guys" but after seeing this episode it made me tear up wishing I could do the same thing they did in this episode, lost my mom when I was 2 and never got a chance to know her
Įsäį Bvstøš I'm kind of in the same boat, though I lost mine about a month ago.
Stay strong, friend.
Įsäį Bvstøš This makes me very sad, because I actually got to know my mother, until she passed away 7 years ago, so when Fry hugs his mother, I can't help but shed a tear..
Įsäį Bvstøš I cried so hard. i lost my mom 4 years ago and it still feels like yesterday.
Įsäį Bvstøš if it's any comfort for you I live a 45 min. to one hour drive from my parents house in a different town so every time I go home for holidays and special occasions I always make it a point to hug my mom no matter how tired I am because I know someday I'm gonna lose her to the other side and I wanna make what's left of our time together count.
Įsäį Bvstøš sorry for your loss
Dude thank you for putting this on this is my favorite moment and Futurama and my favorite episode
Luck Of The Fryrish, Cold Warriors and Game Of Tones makes me happy and emotional cause it shows that Fry's family really did care for him after all
There's also Leela's Homeworld
I love it so much when she asked what did you wanna tell me and he just hugs her quietly I'm sure if I was fry I would do the same thing
Exactly , just to have that mothers embrace again .
When Nibbler said "This isn't your dream Fry, it's your mothers dream."
What a beautiful and absolutely soul-ripping moment. What we all would do just to get a moment like this. I've "travelled" 15 years into the future mom and still miss you every day. The creators of Futurama really are talented, and thank you for such an immense moment of motherly love.
What the hell is in my eyes?!?!!
Onions are nearby
Humanity...
Futurama was so much fucking better than the Simpsons
The Simpsons today for sure but the old simpsons used to be hilarious too. I still like futurama better but I also love the old simpsons episodes
fizzle mygrizzle I agree, I just think it isnt fair that SImpsons was so mainstream popular for so long while this amazing show struggled to stay on the air.
blame it mostly on intended age demographic, while simpsons has adult themes it can still be enjoyed by kids as well (with parent supervision) thats why they have all those simpsons toys that sell really well. futurama was never really intended for kids to watch and thus merchandising for the show was abysmal comparatively
Nothing touches the first 8 seasons of The Simpsons ! But everything after that can't really hold a candle to Futurama and what it accomplished. Both amazing shows!
Lovin' that dharma emblem you have there... ;D
People, he is meant to stay frozen so he can save the future. In one episode he remained in 1999 and the entire universe seized to exist.
+OddSeuss wow futurama left no plot gaps did it?
+The Guy nope no gap holes at all.. when I saw the episode when nibler was the one that pushes fry in the cyro chamber I went back to season 1 pilot and I even saw nibler in it too.. I was amazed cause it happens seasons after.. I love futurama
ceased* come on people, we're better than this!
+Devon S Well I'm embarrassed. Then again it's the Internet and I don't care.
+Devon S Thanks though. ;)
Forget Jurassic Bark. This scene is the most tear-jerking one in the show.
Another contender is when Scruffy cried when he turned down his one chance of love.
@@dannythomas417 Washbucket really loved him!
@Duke Memphis I really wish they give him one single episode. But instead they gave Zoidberg a second chance of love. This time with Daenerys.
Just wait until you put her into the ground and it's the last time you'll ever see or speak to her.
When this show makes an emotional episode is always makes an episode that hits right in the feels.
The Rose Bowl win was correct, btw.
It was, I actually watched the whole game that New Year's Day.
Its almost as if the Futurama writers could look it up and find the score out.
@@joncurtis199 yeah, but very few shows would put that much thought into something.
@@psychedeliccarrie5921 What''s even crazier than that are the mathematical equations they snuck into some of the episodes, like that one where they all start switching bodies and they have to call the Harlem Globetrotters to fix the problem
th-cam.com/video/J65GNFfL94c/w-d-xo.html
@@psychedeliccarrie5921 "Very few shows" would put in as much thought as typing "Rose Bowl" into Wikipedia or Google?
Losing my brother has been the hardest thing I’ve gone through in my life, and I remember my mom not being able to sleep and having nightmares and being up crying. This really hits the heart hard
My mother passed away when i was 16, and ive watched this episode on mothers day ever since. Just one of the few episodes that mean the world to me.
This scene always reminds me that, even though our dreams are imaginary, the emotions they make us feel are fully real. There’s something comforting about that.
I rewatched the last part and man, emotions just came over me , everyone deserves a chance to say goodbye to their loved one, but we never do, I love u mom. I think about u everyday and every night, I don’t dream about u often but I will always remember u by looking at my daughter
I know with the other episodes with his father, brother, and dog were all really sad, however THIS one hit me hard and actually made me cry, I never had a mother nor mother figure in my life, it still tears me up a bit now
I don't even watch Futurama and still shedded a tear.
I remember watching this when I was young and not feeling anything but now that my mom has passed away two years ago this scene touches me in a way that no other media has. I miss you mama
Futurama deserved better than it ever had. It's profound, touching, charming, and at the same time, it's tragic, and gut wrenching, without losing the fundamentals of humor, it gives you all.
I wish we could have more of it, but maybe that would ruin how perfect it is. This is a show that has a soul
No matter how many times I watch this, I still tear up and cry.
Ladies and gentlemen, cherish every single moment with your loved ones. Because there'll be times in your life that you will want to hug them the most and you will not be able to. Please make sure that you do not have to live with that kind of regret..... it will tear you up inside.
The part where Fry turns in disbelief and says “Mom”… always gets me, as someone that has had a borderline estranged relationship with my own mom, due to being forced to live on my own, it just resonates. There’s a part of you that feels hurt by the days you missed, the holidays they had without you… but, the damage is done and at the end of the day being held by the person that made you doesn’t take away from the pain that you’ve endured, but it makes you feel whole and like the pain can actually go away even for just that moment.
Literally everytime I watch this scene I explode in tears…
I lost my mother to cancer when I was 10. I've only had a couple dreams like this that I can remember, with the most recent happening the other night. In the dream she walked into the house, we hugged and I immediately started balling my eyes out and telling her everything I could (even though it sounded like gibberish with the crying) until I woke up a few moments later. I actually had a tear in my eye when i woke up too... that really hit me and I'm still thinking about it days later. I miss her
If there is something else after death, she is looking out for you and always will. You never truly die when you have children. She will always live through you.
In terms of most emotional moments/suckerpunches in Futurama for me its:
1) this
2) Luck of the Fryrish
3) jurassic bark
This, Leela meeting her parents, and then Fry finding about his dead nephew- I love this show
And I love the cast members, especially David Herman. He might be the least known member of the cast, but he’s one of them. The way how he and Tress MacNeille did Leela’s parents convinced me how great he is.
as a person who can relate to this, I've lost my mother a while ago and it still hurts, treasure what you have with your parents when you're young. never take them for granted you never know when u won't ever see them again. seeing this episode strikes at my heart cuz I would probably do the same thing that fry did. I miss my mother and have so much I want to tell her, like how I'm finally graduating highschool, or am finally moving out soon to start my own life. ugh it sux.
John Emerson true that man. Hope your doing well and I’m sure she is proudly watching you from above
After losing my brother a few years back, this scene means a lot to me. The only place I get to see him is in my dreams. Sometimes I get to hug him and stuff. This scene makes me bawl my eyes out.
This is one of the most profoundly beautiful moments ever in TV history.
You know how much this scene hits me? The video hasn’t even started yet and I’m already tearing up 🥺.
I just rewatched this episode, forgetting that this was the ending. Absolutely incredible writing.
The Seymore episode made me miss my dog. This episode made me call my mom.
