FUTURAMA Season 3 Episode 4 REACTION! | The Luck of the Fryrish

[@Deadpool-fh6ve]

Something that really adds to the reveal, is that Yancy chose to break a generational tradition by naming him after Fry.

[@gurvmlk]

That never crossed my mind.

[@NoriMori1992]

Yeah. Unfortunately I think the boys missed the line at 0:52 and so didn't pick up on that part.

[@Rick-Rarick]

That was the first of a handful of Futurama episodes that make me fight back the tears.

[@Anime-Doom]

One of the most universally beloved episodes of any cartoon ever made, almost unanimously considered among the top 3 episodes of the entire show and even after 20 years that final flashback still hits just as hard as the day it aired.

[@WigglyJigs1]

It’s so heartwarming to see SOMEONE in Fry’s past actually cared about him.

[@franciscopedraza7534]

His entire family cares about him, Fry just yet to realize that.

[@MittensZora]

@@franciscopedraza7534 Yeah, it just unfortunately took him being frozen for a thousand years for him to realize it

[@raymondmaciel4047]

⁠@@MittensZora Man this sure knows how to turn the waterworks. Plus Tom Kenny was perfect in this episode

[@LordBaldur]

@@franciscopedraza7534 Probably didn't help that his girlfriend from the past completely gaslighted him.

[@LetheSoda]

@@MittensZora I like that both his parents got moments to express how they feel in later episodes.

[@tomjohnston3914]

I always cry as soon as it cuts to Yancy and the baby. I thought as this is just a quick run through it wouldn’t get to me, but ffs I cried again. Such a good moment in television.

[@jagerzaku9160]

Same man

[@_Shadoh_]

In case you didn't notice: Don't you (forget about me) is THE hit song from the Breakfast Club soundtrack. The perfect song to end this episode.

[@connorwood9211]

Still hits the feels no matter how many rewatches

[@MysticJhn]

One of the best endings in any animated show ever. Even knowing what was going to happen I still teared up a little. No matter how much I've seen this show, this episode always gets me.

[@NoriMori1992]

0:50 You certainly knew Fry had a _sibling,_ seeing as one of the show's main characters was introduced as his distant nephew! 5:12 Jeez, to think that when this aired I had never heard of Rudy Giuliani… 7:08 …This seems to imply that mutants can live for at least a thousand years 😳

[@add8402]

This episode still has one of my favorite jokes in the whole show. Announcer: "The winner is number 3, in a quantum finish!" Professor: "No fair! You changed the outcome by measuring it!" (tl;dr: you can't measure something at the quantum level without altering it with your method of measurement, see: Schrodinger's cat, etc. etc.) god I'm a dork.

[@SpiralSine6]

“You’re twice the ‘The’ he ever was.” 😢

[@swanchamp5136]

One of the best episodes of futurama, there's the insanely nerdy joke about the quantum finish, then at the end, it kicks your feels in the crotch.

[@batuchthebruh5165]

Man, back when I was 12 this and Seymour episode hit me so hard. Not sure if it is nostalgia but both of them still hit the same.

[@env0x]

same i still get teared up watching both those episodes. but i think the one that hits hardest for me is the bee one.

[@kenshin5150]

I NEVER rewatch Jurasic Bark. Its just too emotial

[@Brendo2386]

​@@env0xoh yeah, the funny show that can rip your heart out

[@Nonjola]

Yes, the PJs was a short-lived stop-motion animated series for adults.

[@6TomCruz6]

Yup the PJ aka also know as "the projects"

[@Dudepatrol47]

I’ve watched this series so many times I forgot that this is the first time we ever meet Fry’s family!

[@gurvmlk]

It's crazy how there are certain things that in hindsight, we kind of take for granted. Yet in reality, they didn't happen until a much later season than that hindsight would assume. I still sometimes forget that it took all the way until the fourth season to finally get Leela's origin story.

[@nomorevex]

THE best episode in the series (imo)

[@AlienSteel5253]

That ending honestly made me cry the first time I watched it.

[@AiLiang-hh2zg]

Fun Fact- Fry's brother Yancy is voiced by Tom Kenny, the voice of Spongebob.

[@0okamino]

And he’s quite a Nice King, er I mean an Ice King, too.

[@AiLiang-hh2zg]

@@0okamino Love that reference.

[@Mechahendrix]

Futurama has a couple of episodes like this that just give you an emotional gut punch

[@Maswartz226]

One of the many episodes that hints that Fry's life wasn't all that bad back in the past. PS: Every time I watch one of your vids I get Roundabout stuck in my head from the ending.

[@jaredf6205]

Yancy is also the middle name of the character Doug from the show Doug, who is voiced by the same guy as Fry.

[@Maswartz226]

0:52 I mean the professor is his Great X a lot nephew.

[@nhd6128]

The writing for this episode is excellent.. I mean, it is for nearly all Futurama episodes! Love the content, boys

[@risgord6990]

Luck of the Fryrish is more of a tearjerker than Jurassic Bark. Change my mind.

[@SmazSolaire]

The ending gets me every time.

[@fccc3379]

Oh you’ll see more episodes that will have an emotional ending/twist.

[@PhazonInfuser]

One of the reasons Futurama was so good. There was the occasional episode that really pulled at your heartstrings, and had a legit beautiful story. Can't wait till you get to the one with Fry's mom.

[@willadeefriesland5107]

The beat boxing 'break dancer' was none other than John 'Bender' DiMaggio...

[@AlexJonesChickLDN]

This is one of my favourite episodes of Futurama!

[@maxdon2001]

Great reaction! This was a really good one!

[@animegx45]

Damn it, this one still makes me cry at the end.

[@stalhein62]

Futurama is an isekai *sips tea*

[@Maswartz226]

...oh crap.

[@ChristopherSobieniak]

Yeah, kinda.

[@jagerzaku9160]

My favourite episode of the show

[@dandychiggins7240]

Best episode in my opinion! And at least one of them reacted to it 😂❤️

[@Jon_from_LI]

Easily among my favorite episodes of the series.

[@timkokesh1968]

Can’t believe you skipped over one of the best Futurama jokes ever: “And the winner is. number three, in a quantum finish!” “No fair! You changed the outcome by measuring it!”

[@Danielalocasia]

This is my favorite episode of the series.

[@cjg8763]

The PJ's was awesome you guys should totally react to it!

[@yester30]

Lovely episode

[@olivefernando7879]

fyi I don't think internet browsers actually listened like that back when the episode was made, so they got that right

[@AndyFNQ84]

surprisingly touching

[@mikemath9508]

Saddest/most touching episode of the entire series. Nothing else comes close, and especially nothing after season 4.

[@donavenhollow5709]

Yeah cause this show never rips your heart out again in the next 2 seasons. Not at all...

[@eskreskao]

Ah yes, the Luck of the Fryrish, the first of the bittersweet episodes. In my highly spoilery and objectively correct opinion, it's better than the Seymour one.

[@kaijingarou6526]

These bastard writers forget from time to time they're just supposed to make us laugh 😢

[@jdspencer60]

If you are intrigued by basketball you should put in some youtube search time - there's lots of good content. I just watched a condensed version of the 2004 NBA Finals where the Detroit Pistons played the LA Lakers on youtube and it really took me back

[@spencersholden]

This is the saddest episode for me. As someone with an older brother at least.

[@MrStGeorgeIllawarra]

One of the only thing I don't like about the show as the series has gone on is Fry's parents have basically been ret-conned in to being good loving parents. That's crap.

[@fedos]

Crying episode alert.

[@DaveWraptastic]

This episode doesn't really do it for me. Yancy might have been a better brother as he grew up but as a teenager he was a solid dipshit to Fry. I wouldn't really care about him naming his son after me. All the memories I have of him are awful.
