One of the reasons I enjoy Groening's sense of humor so much is because he rarely resorts to ridicule. It's easy to get cheap laughs by tearing down a character. However, it's much harder to write intelligent humor that comes primarily from a desire to empathize with the characters. It's the difference between laughing at someone and laughing with them. Few comedians are able to consistently construct jokes like that, but Groening is a master at it.
"When you do things right, people won't be sure you've done anything at all" Godfellas is one of my most favorite episodes of TV ever, and this quote always stuck with me.
A few months ago I finally marathoned through it after having only watched the strray episode when it was on. I already loved it. And mostly I just wanted to leave on something light hearted in the background. But the more I watched it, the more I appreciated its genius, and it just kept getting better. I was surprised at the amount of episodes I had missed as well. There are people here and there who say they hate it and I am like...but how? It hits all the levels.
bro the episode where fry left Seymore just waiting on the sidewalk and they play that song. and you watch this dog just grow old and finally die.. fuck i cried so hard and i wont lie about it.
Yeh, anyone who knows Futurama knows that Jurassic Bark might just have one of the most emotional endings of any cartoon episode ever. Makes me watery eyed just thinking about it.
The only other "adult animated series" that approaches Futurama's level is BoJack Horseman (which is criminally underrated). Futurama is basically the perfect show, because it combines slapstick and highbrow humor, genuine emotion, and social commentary in ways I rarely ever see.
ShinGallon Well if you're looking to find something that fills that hole that appeared when Futurama ended I say look no further. I could go on forever about the show, but coming from someone who loves Futurama I'd say give it a shot, you might be delightfully surprised.
There aren't many shows that I can find that can give you such amazing characters with well made personalities that all mesh together so well, and not many shows where the writing is so clever and well done and the preplanning for later episodes like the shadow of nibbler in the first episode. I don't think there is anything in this world that has made me more sad than the last episode. I've been depressed for five years now,, coming up on six, this is the show that kept me going
Brother I couldn't agree with you more. Best tv show of all time and I don't think it's even close, how in the world it got cancelled is beyond me, but I still watch it every day and I will as long as I can.
As much I love The Simpsons (and I fucking LOVE The Simpsons), Futurama in my opinion is the superior show. For exactly the same reasons you stated in the video.
I think the Simpsons peak was longer and really high, but Futurama's peak was even higher but very short lived. End of Season 3 through Season 4 was their peak, then the show got cancelled and we got Season 5 via 4 feature-length movies which were excellent but the whole of them was not as good (but individually, a couple of them were superior). Futurama's return a years ago definitely had it's moments (Killer App was my favorite), but the huge gap between the end of the aired episodes (and the subsequent movies) and the return of the new aired episodes definitely took something away from them.
I think it also has to do with the fact that since Futurama is science fiction, it can take full advantage of animation's ability to allow absolutely anything to happen without requiring suspension of disbelief, unlike live action. Futurama could have a nearly infinite number of stories within its universe whereas The Simpsons is restricted by their universe being relatively realistic and the status quo has to be reset for each episode.
I was about to ask what it was because it sounded just like Toro y Moi, but here you are with the answer, telling me that it is in fact Toro y Moi himself haha
+Me SPOILER ALERT! I believe it's when the professor creates a device that resets time like 10 seconds back. Fry ends up breaking it and only he and Leela are stuck in a world frozen in time. They end up living in this frozen world until they are given the option to return everything back to normal and start over from the beginning.
+Gersa's Sloth I'm slightly confused about that-the professor said "before it was invented" right? So wouldn't that DAY start over, and it not be too big of a deal? Unless I was an idiot and the professor also said "I invented it before fry came here" or something...
+Legate Lanius not really. By that, I mean it's a different show entirely. I don't really like the show either and I think it pales in comparison to the original series, but TTGO isn't made for audience members like you and me. It's made for kids. The only reason they used the TT characters is for branding, and making more money off an established series.
That damn ending of season four with Fry, Leela, and the Holophoner always makes me feel a sense of...idk. Longing? Not really that. Love? Maybe closer to that. It's an indescribable feeling that you stumble across in a show (great, good, bad or otherwise) and it's just burned into ur memory as a standout moment.
I've mentioned it before, and am not really sure if it's your kind of thing. But, I would love to see you do a video on Avatar the Last Airbender(show of course). Regardless, fantastic video as always.
I'd love to hear him talk about the mix of Western and Eastern influences- particularly the mix of animation styles, with both detailed dialogue animation (cartoon) and intricate fights (anime). Nostalgia Critic touched on this in his Avatar vlogs, and it blew my mind

Really well put, the part about respecting the intelligence of their audience. That's what truly separated this show from most other shows. Rick and Morty seems to be going down the same route.
I can say without shame that I have cried multiple times watching Futurama. It's also one of the few shows that I have watched from beginning to end. Legendary show.
Absolutely incredible video! I love this series so much, and you've really done it justice. Thank you for teaching me a bit more about it, and thank you Philip Defranco for linking me here in your Today in Awesome segment.
When ever I am uninspired I enjoy watching these to remind me of my goal. I love your videos man. They remind me of what I am hoping to one day to create. These videos show things to people I think everyone should remember because of they're impact not only on art but society. Thank you.
I'd love to see you do Samurai Jack or Iron Giant. The way you make these videos scratches an itch I never knew I had in my brain, and I have so much respect for the shows and movies that made my childhood. Anyways, keep up the good work.
I gotta say, I really love your videos. Every time I see a new one up, I get excited and need to see it before continuing onto what I opened TH-cam for in the first place. Always wonderful insight into things I already knew I liked or rekindling interest old things I forgot about, like FLCL. After seeing your video I immediately starting watching that one again. Thanks for these and please keep it or keep us posted should you find a new project to work on. It's be just as excited to see what you bring the world in the future as I am what you bring us now.
This is one of the best channels I've seen on TH-cam, the way you go into so much depth is something a lot creator don't do. Love the video please never stop making them
Every time I see your videos on my feed I immediately watch them. I don't expect anything less then great editing and a very unique retro spin on What so many other TH-camrs seem to be doing. Keep up the amazing work
"It may be gone for now, but after 4 diferrent cancelations you never know what the future may hold for this legendary piece of animation" ... and at long last....it's coming back ! Futurama 2022
Futurama is definitely my #1 favourote show. It is so so important to me. When I first started watching it, I was expecting a bunch of laughs and goofy characters. Instead I got an amazingly well thought-out and clever masterpiece of a show, with emotional rollercoasters around every turn, and amazing characters to keep me coming back. I adore futurama!!! Thamks for uploading this video
No show has ever made me laugh, cry, avoid never watching an episode because of how beautiful and how much it hurt. Tears welled up (Jurassic Bark) when you showed him and the ending just full blown tears.
To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand Rick and Morty. The humour is extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of theoretical physics most of the jokes will go over a typical viewer's head. There's also Rick's nihilistic outlook, which is deftly woven into his characterisation- his personal philosophy draws heavily from Narodnaya Volya literature, for instance. The fans understand this stuff; they have the intellectual capacity to truly appreciate the depths of these jokes, to realise that they're not just funny- they say something deep about LIFE. As a consequence people who dislike Rick & Morty truly ARE idiots- of course they wouldn't appreciate, for instance, the humour in Rick's existential catchphrase "Wubba Lubba Dub Dub," which itself is a cryptic reference to Turgenev's Russian epic Fathers and Sons. I'm smirking right now just imagining one of those addlepated simpletons scratching their heads in confusion as Dan Harmon's genius wit unfolds itself on their television screens. What fools.. how I pity them. 😂 And yes, by the way, i DO have a Rick & Morty tattoo. And no, you cannot see it. It's for the ladies' eyes only- and even then they have to demonstrate that they're within 5 IQ points of my own (preferably lower) beforehand. Nothin personnel kid 😎
I remember watching futurama with my older brother every morning before school in 3rd grade and even though I couldn't really understand it I loved it and now that I'm older and can fully comprehend it I just love it even more
The episode where he finds out his brother named his son after him is my all time favourite, the next is the fossilised dog one. Not gonna lie they both hit me way too much in the feels
Man Nostalgia trip. I binged watched all the episodes over a 3 month period, a show has never truly replaced it since. I miss the shoe to be real. I hope it does come back.
It's hard to explain this fully, but your videos are so well edited that everything seems to flow at once and I'm left at the other end with an almost "back from Narnia" feeling, so I can only imagine you're working some miracles on this channel.
The greatest moment of my life was meeting Billy West and John DiMaggio at a convention and having them sign my Futurama DVD boxset. Billy signed as "Shut up and take my money!"

I wonder if there is a parallel universe where Futurama was never cancelled, was treated with respect by its Network and The Simpsons had ended with dignity instead of overstaying its welcome.
Futurama is one of my favorite TV shows ever. I love how they make it science fiction related, but still funny, and with an inspirational or emotional twist at the end. The characters are enjoyable in so many different ways, and always makes me go to the next episode. Thanks for reading.
I've paused this video at about two minutes and twenty seconds to speculate in the comments on whether or not you will speak on the extremely subtle and amazing running jokes. My favorite being one that starts in the Octoberfest episode when the Professor asks Fry what his name is and Fry responds with "Most folks call me Orange Joe." This joke comes back in the next season when Fry is warning everyone not to do something and the Prof. says "Yes, everyone, listen to Orange Joe!" As far as I know, that nickname never returns or is used again in the series. It's one of the most subtle and satisfying jokes to catch.
Thank God I found your channel again. Loved your videos on Batman/Superman and the History of the Television Empire.. keep up the good work and as always don't hesitate to take your time on these works of art you create. The more the merrier, but in truth, It would suck to have grand canvases with little effort done to them.
One of my favorite things about going back and rewatching the show is how "dated" the future is in early seasons. I suppose this isn't unique to Futurama, Star Trek and the like show technology we see as primitive right alongside "futuristic" sci-fi stuff, but I know Futurama better so I notice it there more. Old episodes poking fun at slow dial-up connections with the screeching connecting noises. Jokes about tiny cell phones only to be replaced by jokes about iphones and social media in later seasons. It's natural why the jokes are there, and it doesn't diminish the show at all, it's just funny to see dated "topical" jokes take place 1000 years in the future.
I feel like you and I had the same childhood. we enjoyed the same media and your video essays say everything I feel but couldn't put into words about my beloved shows/music.
It would be interesting how he would talk about the Simpson. He may talked about how the early Simpsons made a legacy and kick started the adult oriented shows taking on current issues and how it had declined over the decades.
My favorite part of futurama that really stood out to me as a kid was when Fry made a deal with the devil to get another robots hands. The devil spins the wheel and I was so sure that it was gonna land on bender since that would have been the easy thing to do as a writer. I was genuinely surprised to see the wheel stop on bender for a second only to continue one more time and land on the devil. That one detail made me see just how much thought and effort went behind this show.
My god, man. Not only are your videos focused on some of my favorite things, but they are all made so well and with such great care. Your channel has quickly become one of my favorite channels on this website, and I make time to watch all your videos whenever they come out. I don't know if you're open to suggestions or requests, but I think it would be really interesting to see your take on Studio Ghibli and their films. I really hope this channel blows up, not only as a reward for your amazing videos, but so more people can watch your incredible content. Anyway, best of luck with your future videos!
I love Rick & Morty, but I am still hoping for a return of Futurama somehow. Futurama set itself up in a good position where it can be considered an end of the series, but it can still be picked back up.
Personally, it should go. When a show stops going, it feels finished and has more significance than if it keeps going and slowly devolves as the ideas begin to stale.
+Plurrberry no. the world doesn't seem as open. funnily enough thou, I love Rick and Morty more. the character's at better and the writing better imo. also its off the wacky scale
Nailed it again.
Well hell of there! Great to see a youtuber I love supporting another youtuber I love

That's one of the most evidents things to point out un the Simpsons seasons where Groening isn't involve in production, that they recall a lot in this
I just watched an entire Futurama episode where they picked on Hippies the whole time lol
Well there aren't that many funny comedy in Disenchantment. There are some really funny jokes though. And it's plot is also very interesting.
My favourite comment
Agree wholeheartedly - one of the best and smartest TV comedies ever made. In fact - don't kill me - I think it's even better than the Simpsons.
+TrollMonkeyIdiot Ask Galileo.
+TrollMonkeyIdiot I think you need a brief journey around the internet..

it is better

The amount of genius, emotion, and complexity in a comedy show is truly amazing.
Did anyone else get goosebumps at the last clip? DAT EPISODE.
i crie everytiem
It's the end of Jurassic Bark one that gets me. I can't handle it!
I nearly cried the first time I saw it.. Mighta teared up a little
I rewatched the whole of Futurama months ago and I cried. A lot.
And now watching that last clip I almost cried again.
Hypnotoad's not that sad...
bro the episode where fry left Seymore just waiting on the sidewalk and they play that song. and you watch this dog just grow old and finally die.. fuck i cried so hard and i wont lie about it.
swear that was the saddest shit ever
Yeh, anyone who knows Futurama knows that Jurassic Bark might just have one of the most emotional endings of any cartoon episode ever. Makes me watery eyed just thinking about it.
I will wait for you
yeah man

Don’t lie
You cried when Seymour waited for fry to come back
And when fry was able to be with his mom one last time thanks to nibbler
I cried when Seymour waited for fry and when fry found his brother's son was named after him
Every time.
Every time.
And then again in Bender's Big Score when *Fry gets to see his mom AGAIN, and more...*
All the time

A tamago comment from 4 years ago
Watching these videos is like drinking a nice cold glass of water in a hot summers day. Refreshing.
Good metaphor, I know exactly what you mean
Damn, its too fucking hot outside.
It's a simile
Exactly !
"Satire dosen't always need to be steeped in pessismism" that is such an excellent point! One of many reasons this is one of the best shows ever
The song at the end is "Tyler, The Creator - Hey You (Prod. Toro Y Moi)". (:
you have shazam too?
I was so shocked when it came on, I was like OH SHIT SUBSCRIPTION
I was about to ask what it was because it sounded just like Toro y Moi, but here you are with the answer, telling me that it is in fact Toro y Moi himself haha
SyrebralVibes thanks
Thanks. You saved me many smart ass "Darude - Sandstorm" responses =D
The ending of the last episode of Futurama hit me in the feels, really wish they made more seasons.
+Me SPOILER ALERT! I believe it's when the professor creates a device that resets time like 10 seconds back. Fry ends up breaking it and only he and Leela are stuck in a world frozen in time. They end up living in this frozen world until they are given the option to return everything back to normal and start over from the beginning.

Cameron Asbury I was gonna respond with "what about Avatar The Last Airbender?" until I remembered it's been praised to death.
Seven seasons? There were 10! Granted one of them wasn't _really_ a true season and was just 4 movies, but it counts I would say.
There were 7 production seasons that were broken into 10 broadcast seasons.

The four-leaf clover episode, among others, makes me cry. Futurama is easily one of my favourites shows of all time.
Seven-leaf clover*
you had to bring up Seymour. 😭😭😭😭
Haha, that's by far one of favorite episodes. And what makes it even better is that my name is seymour.

Fry's nephew.
Just made you wanna cry and smile at the same time.

Futurama wins my personal award of the cartoon that brought me to tears the most, in unsuspecting ways. A lot of punches to the feels.
I still haven't forgiven them for what they did to Seymour.
You always make shows I wouldn't really find any feels for and make it feel so profound.
I've got the feels for futurama, I started watching it when I was 13 so it has that nostalgia value for me at least.
I find Futurama extremely emotionally affecting. By the end of season one I already felt like I personally knew all of the characters
luck of the fryrish...
Best episode ever
me too Guy Simchony
The episode with Fry's dog..... oh the tears...

Hey, congrats on being mentioned on the Phillip Defranco Show today.
I can say without shame that I have cried multiple times watching Futurama. It's also one of the few shows that I have watched from beginning to end. Legendary show.
"And the winner is (horse's name) with an electron finish!"
Professor: "No fair! You changed the outcome by measuring it!"
Still my favorite animation ever made. Hit all points for me. Humor, heart, love, character building, world building. All made this show so great.

Combining his intro with Futurama's intro.
That's the type of subtlty that goes into this channel, it's so fucking good!
You just had to put Seymour in the video huh?
Absolutely incredible video! I love this series so much, and you've really done it justice. Thank you for teaching me a bit more about it, and thank you Philip Defranco for linking me here in your Today in Awesome segment.
that music at the end of that last episode shown gets me every time
Working through my first watch-through of the show, saw the episode Luck of the Fryrish and I legit cried.
Watching this after it just got a new season on Hulu is wild.
fun that just a couple of days ago there was announcement that futurama was coming back again
And now Futurama is coming back…
How did he know??
When ever I am uninspired I enjoy watching these to remind me of my goal. I love your videos man. They remind me of what I am hoping to one day to create. These videos show things to people I think everyone should remember because of they're impact not only on art but society. Thank you.
I'd love to see you do Samurai Jack or Iron Giant. The way you make these videos scratches an itch I never knew I had in my brain, and I have so much respect for the shows and movies that made my childhood. Anyways, keep up the good work.
This one hit close to home as I grew up watching this show being fascinated by the setting and characters. Great job once again on the video
Ayy, lmao. I'm watching Futurama right now!
ayyyyyyyy
AY LMAO m8 AM I RIGHT OR AM I RIGHT
I gotta say, I really love your videos. Every time I see a new one up, I get excited and need to see it before continuing onto what I opened TH-cam for in the first place. Always wonderful insight into things I already knew I liked or rekindling interest old things I forgot about, like FLCL. After seeing your video I immediately starting watching that one again. Thanks for these and please keep it or keep us posted should you find a new project to work on. It's be just as excited to see what you bring the world in the future as I am what you bring us now.
BRING BACK FUTURAMA
If you need money
I am 40% money
This is one of the best channels I've seen on TH-cam, the way you go into so much depth is something a lot creator don't do. Love the video please never stop making them
Really awesome video man! Do you mind if I ask what animation/video editing software you use
likely adobe premiere
The other guy is probably right. I'm 99% certain it's adobe premiere
+John B ah yes, after effects too. Though that program is complex as all hell
+John B That's awesome man thank you! does Lynda.com have tutorials for premiere and after effects?
Every time I see your videos on my feed I immediately watch them. I don't expect anything less then great editing and a very unique retro spin on What so many other TH-camrs seem to be doing. Keep up the amazing work
Everytime I watch Futurama on tv i have to make sure it isn't Jurrasic bark, or else ill change the channel.
I hate that one, too. It's the worst in the series.
It’s the best one, but also I always want to cry when I see it.

Futurama 2022
Futurama is definitely my #1 favourote show. It is so so important to me. When I first started watching it, I was expecting a bunch of laughs and goofy characters. Instead I got an amazingly well thought-out and clever masterpiece of a show, with emotional rollercoasters around every turn, and amazing characters to keep me coming back. I adore futurama!!! Thamks for uploading this video
I just want more Futurama. It truly was one of a kind.
No show has ever made me laugh, cry, avoid never watching an episode because of how beautiful and how much it hurt. Tears welled up (Jurassic Bark) when you showed him and the ending just full blown tears.
Futurama>Rick and Morty
To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand Rick and Morty. The humour is extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of theoretical physics most of the jokes will go over a typical viewer's head. There's also Rick's nihilistic outlook, which is deftly woven into his characterisation- his personal philosophy draws heavily from Narodnaya Volya literature, for instance. The fans understand this stuff; they have the intellectual capacity to truly appreciate the depths of these jokes, to realise that they're not just funny- they say something deep about LIFE. As a consequence people who dislike Rick & Morty truly ARE idiots- of course they wouldn't appreciate, for instance, the humour in Rick's existential catchphrase "Wubba Lubba Dub Dub," which itself is a cryptic reference to Turgenev's Russian epic Fathers and Sons. I'm smirking right now just imagining one of those addlepated simpletons scratching their heads in confusion as Dan Harmon's genius wit unfolds itself on their television screens. What fools.. how I pity them. 😂
And yes, by the way, i DO have a Rick & Morty tattoo. And no, you cannot see it. It's for the ladies' eyes only- and even then they have to demonstrate that they're within 5 IQ points of my own (preferably lower) beforehand. Nothin personnel kid 😎
Rick and Morty season 1 is good but it got worse as it went on...
@@ajdhjaoakdn2ndgoogleaccoun929 *Season 2 (ftfy)
Cringe_Game_Strong did u really say people need a high IQ to watch Rick and Morty? Get your head out of your own fart space you’re not that special

naw hulu is making it
Greetings I come to you from the future and Futurama has officially aired a new season on hulu 2023🖖🤖👽
I remember watching futurama with my older brother every morning before school in 3rd grade and even though I couldn't really understand it I loved it and now that I'm older and can fully comprehend it I just love it even more
i feel like i should just start with the like and then watch the video, could save me about 8 seconds every video
That's what I do every time since I watch his first two episodes
The episode where he finds out his brother named his son after him is my all time favourite, the next is the fossilised dog one. Not gonna lie they both hit me way too much in the feels
My all time favorite show
Man Nostalgia trip. I binged watched all the episodes over a 3 month period, a show has never truly replaced it since. I miss the shoe to be real. I hope it does come back.
For a thousand summers, ILL BE THERE FOR YOUUU
the series finale of this show is perhaps one of the most beautiful episode of any tv show that i have seen.
Respecting the intelligence of its audience - THIS
You are absolutely the best content creator on TH-cam! Great animations, soundtrack, editing, story, information... Keep up the amazing work!
Sad that they couldn't just let this masterpiece sit.
It’s popular though
It's hard to explain this fully,
but your videos are so well edited that everything seems to flow at once and I'm left at the other end with an almost "back from Narnia" feeling, so I can only imagine you're working some miracles on this channel.
After four cancellations… it’s back again 😬
The greatest moment of my life was meeting Billy West and John DiMaggio at a convention and having them sign my Futurama DVD boxset. Billy signed as "Shut up and take my money!"
Please do King of the hill next. i feel like its way underrated.
Great video. Awesome how you had the hypno toad at the end there. I love this show. It can never go stale
Do Avatar the last Airbender next please.
You mean show right

well naturally, what else would he mean. ^^

ugh why?
+Diego Ochoa is not a movie
+Nekogami-Crystal Your comment is like a jump scare. Did not see that coming, lol.
I wonder if there is a parallel universe where Futurama was never cancelled, was treated with respect by its Network and The Simpsons had ended with dignity instead of overstaying its welcome.
Futurama and Rick and Morty are easily the best comedy focused cartoons out there
do you mean currently or of all time?
io 90 probably all time tbh, they're the only ones that are consistently funny while keeping a great plot, clever jokes, original writing etc.
+Billy Kane American dad is also funny
+Billy Kane And south park
+DocBo I guess, but that's like comparing apples and oranges
kaptainkristian, you always gives me a warm feeling in my heart. Thankyou so much for your carefully detailed documentaries of my beloved childhood!

This actually brought tears to my eyes. Great video, perfectly captures the nostalgia I have for this incomparable cartoon.
Same man I watched this as a 9 year old kid, and recently rewatched seasons 1-5 last fall, Nothing brings me this much nostalgia
Fuck I miss that show
So much better than simpsons
Futurama is one of my favorite TV shows ever. I love how they make it science fiction related, but still funny, and with an inspirational or emotional twist at the end. The characters are enjoyable in so many different ways, and always makes me go to the next episode. Thanks for reading.
I've always liked Futurama more as a show and South Park and American Dad more for the pure humor value.
I've paused this video at about two minutes and twenty seconds to speculate in the comments on whether or not you will speak on the extremely subtle and amazing running jokes. My favorite being one that starts in the Octoberfest episode when the Professor asks Fry what his name is and Fry responds with "Most folks call me Orange Joe." This joke comes back in the next season when Fry is warning everyone not to do something and the Prof. says "Yes, everyone, listen to Orange Joe!"
As far as I know, that nickname never returns or is used again in the series. It's one of the most subtle and satisfying jokes to catch.
This keeps me occupied at my boring job lol
It's been years since I've heard that music... Couldn't help but smile
Can you do the satire of South Park, the anime style of The Last Airbender, the mixture of cartoons and realize family situation in The Simpsons,
Thank God I found your channel again. Loved your videos on Batman/Superman and the History of the Television Empire.. keep up the good work and as always don't hesitate to take your time on these works of art you create. The more the merrier, but in truth, It would suck to have grand canvases with little effort done to them.
OUTRO MUSIC PLEASE
You hero.
Hypnotoad - Everybody loves Hypnotoad
I recommend your channel to all my friends your narration skills along with the way you piece together what your trying to say is just amazing
Hey Kristian. I'm wondering why you made some of your videos unlisted, like your (great) Calvin & Hobbes video?
sadly it was copyright claimed, don't remember why
One of my favorite things about going back and rewatching the show is how "dated" the future is in early seasons. I suppose this isn't unique to Futurama, Star Trek and the like show technology we see as primitive right alongside "futuristic" sci-fi stuff, but I know Futurama better so I notice it there more.
Old episodes poking fun at slow dial-up connections with the screeching connecting noises. Jokes about tiny cell phones only to be replaced by jokes about iphones and social media in later seasons.
It's natural why the jokes are there, and it doesn't diminish the show at all, it's just funny to see dated "topical" jokes take place 1000 years in the future.
Way smarter/better than
Rick and Morty
I feel like you and I had the same childhood. we enjoyed the same media and your video essays say everything I feel but couldn't put into words about my beloved shows/music.
i was just about to say do one on the Simpson
It would be interesting how he would talk about the Simpson. He may talked about how the early Simpsons made a legacy and kick started the adult oriented shows taking on current issues and how it had declined over the decades.
My favorite part of futurama that really stood out to me as a kid was when Fry made a deal with the devil to get another robots hands. The devil spins the wheel and I was so sure that it was gonna land on bender since that would have been the easy thing to do as a writer. I was genuinely surprised to see the wheel stop on bender for a second only to continue one more time and land on the devil. That one detail made me see just how much thought and effort went behind this show.
after 5 cancellations
So much to take in for a 5+ minute video. Extremely well done! and the editing is top notch!
anybody translate the hypnotoad message at the end?
IGNORE OTHER CHANNELS. SUBSCRIBE TO HYPNOTOAD
My god, man. Not only are your videos focused on some of my favorite things, but they are all made so well and with such great care. Your channel has quickly become one of my favorite channels on this website, and I make time to watch all your videos whenever they come out. I don't know if you're open to suggestions or requests, but I think it would be really interesting to see your take on Studio Ghibli and their films. I really hope this channel blows up, not only as a reward for your amazing videos, but so more people can watch your incredible content. Anyway, best of luck with your future videos!
Futurama may be gone but Rick & Morty is doing a good job filling the gap IMO
yeah, just need to wait for season 3
I love Rick & Morty, but I am still hoping for a return of Futurama somehow. Futurama set itself up in a good position where it can be considered an end of the series, but it can still be picked back up.
I love Rick and Morty but it doesn't feel the same.
Personally, it should go.
When a show stops going, it feels finished and has more significance than if it keeps going and slowly devolves as the ideas begin to stale.
+Plurrberry
no. the world doesn't seem as open. funnily enough thou, I love Rick and Morty more. the character's at better and the writing better imo. also its off the wacky scale
