Futurama Season 3 Episode 4- The Luck of the Fryrish Reaction!

[@clintonburr852]

Not only did Yancey name his kid after fry it was that important to him he did it breaking the generations long tradition of naming the first born Yancey

[@hulky7477]

When i watch this episode i always remember that and its the final straw before the tears roll down🥺

[@venrakdrake]

If fry didn't disappear, I don't think Yancey gave a shit about the tradition xD

[@Necron00b]

The ability of Futuramas writers to flip the narrative of so many stories is utter brilliance.

[@nullakjg767]

How was the narrative flipped? Yancy was still a piece of shit brother to fry.

[@danielportillo1349]

It's the the straight story......that ending changes the way you see the whole film. It's that ending the cements why all that happened n why saw the ride n understand why.

[@epicurius1]

I think part of the reason this episode hits is because so many episodes are about how Fry lost the world he knew, and has to deal with that, but this is the first really to show how the world Fry knew also lost him....that he did have people who cared about him and he did have an impact on the world, and when he was frozen, that affected the world around him. I'm not going to lie, I saw this episode when it first came out, and when Fry was kneeling next to the grave and the song came on, I just burst into tears.

[@death2boredom338]

I think many many of us did.

[@MaGiKFuNgUs57]

I still do

[@ChevaliersEmeraude]

About Fry having a brother: While not mentioned directly, the fact that the professor is Fry's multi-great-nephew certainly hint at it!

[@ghostspider2056]

Bender: “You’re twice the ‘THE’ he ever was”. So true, this still makes me laugh to this day.

[@_Shadoh_]

Bender just has the best burns 😂

[@_Shadoh_]

I love that they used "Don't you forget about me" from the breakfast club soundtrack in the ending, so perfect 🥰

[@0okamino]

✊

[@jahu5440]

One of the touching episodes, definitely in my Futurama top 5. About Fry's brother - he had to have sibling - because of his blood relationship with prof. Farnsworth

[@dannybob42]

Now this is one of the episodes where you realise it's not just all shits and giggles, Futurama curveballs you with a poignant story, most of the time driven by love, and it's those moments which cements its iconic status

[@theBOSpaladin101]

This episode never fails to make me cry. They do such a good job at making you not like Yancy and when they pull the rug out, tears. I know everyone holds Jurassic Bark as the big tearjerker episode, but this one and The Sting just hit me so much harder for whatever reason. Easily one of the top 5 episodes of the show imo. Also, “Dirt doesn’t need luck” is such an underrated line lmaoo

[@neilmartis17992]

Mine too. This one, the sting and the ending scene of Game of Tones really gets to me. Never fails to get me to tear up.

[@matthewzeller5026]

I thought I remembered it so I was prepared to cry but apparently I had forgotten enough that it still kinda blindsided me.

[@JogoseBizarrosConteudos]

Once i'm the older brother, i always imagine what if this happens to my young brother and my family and me doesn't known what happened, and this thoughts always make me cry.

[@risgord6990]

Luck of the Fryrish is more of a tear-jerker than Jurassic Bark change my mind!

[@MaGiKFuNgUs57]

My all time favorite Futurama episode, every time Fry says "named for his uncle, to carry on his spirit." I get tears in my eyes. There are some great episodes yet to come, but Luck of the Fryrish is truly amazing.

[@ghostspider2056]

Fun fact Matt Groening’s main male characters have middle names that start with ‘J’. Like Fry, Homer Simpson and his dad and son also have it.

[@TheReptileEmperor]

The Will of J.

[@sirjedisentinel]

Is Princess Bean's middle name J?

[@DanGamingFan2406]

Now, THAT is how you redeem a character.

[@JamieS1992]

3:45 yes bender is Mexican 8:40 a picture drawn by his "dead" brother thats love

[@MrEvers]

I've been waiting for this ever since you started reacting to futurama

[@vadalia3860]

One of my favorite episodes, the twist is so good. Futurama has a couple episodes like this that just get you right in your heart at the last moment and I love them all.

[@neilmartis17992]

And one thing people do not notice much which was pointed out in one of the episode commentaries is that by naming his son Philip J Fry, Yancey broke a very long family tradition of naming their first born sons Yancey.

[@catsmom129]

4:35 “Are you calling me a biter?” There’s some obscure 80s slang. “You’re biting my style! Stop copying me!” This whole scene is giving me nostalgia for that dumbass decade. 😂

[@gamexsimmonds3581]

This is one of my fave episodes Such a touching story. Sad that his brother didn't show him that love before he went missing though

[@kampfkeks6619]

I love how they build Fry's past. You'll get to see so much more and it's always a heartbreaker.

[@crcoghill]

it's always kind of funny: a serious with goofy mains, goofier side characters, set in a goofy future can really tears in your eyes.

[@rags-t-richards]

A great quality of Futurama is how well it pulls off emotion like this.

[@Days-ru8jh]

Dude, this is one of Futurama greatest episodes man. So glad it’s coming back too.

[@mmxxiii9503]

Futurama was never afraid to show it, and that is why is one of the best

[@Otokichi786]

"Luck of the Fryrish": An episode that starts off light and breezy, then ends by adding weight to a Pop song.

[@Wes8333]

Futurama does a surprisingly good job at pulling at your heart strings from time to time. And this episode always hit me the hardest.

[@Dave3Dman]

"i should be the one in that grave!" Oh god the lines this show has. Lines that are not only so hilarious but also one of a kind lines like this that probably had never been uttered before or since.

[@WilliamTheMovieFan]

They write these episodes so well. You expect a cheap giggle, then they sucker punch you in the feels.

[@edgarjosetorrescotto1062]

He made it to the first episode that breaks ya.

[@gemmalow6515]

Not getting closure on the status of a family member is one of the most thought consuming things that can happen to you. Yancy had a lifetime of wondering and questions about what happened to his little brother, never getting any answers.

[@Mikael_Puusaari]

the quantum finish joke was one of the best science jokes ever 😂 Frys brother was really sad about losing his brother even though he always treated him bad, guess he realized too late what he had as so many of us take so much for granted

[@NoriMori1992]

1:12 It's funny how everyone is surprised he has a sibling, even though one of the main characters of the show was explicitly introduced as his distant nephew 😆

[@dennisbenjamin1165]

Before Futurama Billy West worked on The Howard Stern Show where he did a hilarious impression of Marge Schott.

[@0okamino]

Even though it didn’t sound like her real voice, it still worked because it was an accurate reflection of the shrill horridness of the garbage she spewed.

[@vineethonkan]

Ren and Stimpy.

[@joevictor53]

This show was so good. Even watching these clips had me tearing up. I can't wait for it to come back

[@perchancetodream1]

This won't be the last episode to pull at the heartstrings.

[@dragonlynx9969]

Still makes me tear up! 😢

[@Drakin292]

Being an older brother myself, this episode's ending still makes me cry every time I watch it. 😭

[@Blindtechnician]

There are so many more emotional moments to come with the show and this episode is excellent!

[@cjg8763]

This is far from the last time Fry's and his family's past will make us all emotional.

[@JokeCubed]

This is my favourite episode of the whole show. It's close between this and "The Sting" but this one always makes me cry. Futurama is one of those rare shows that can be hilariously, uproariously funny, but also hit you with those emotional gut-punches.

[@yourbestpallshawn4139]

“It’s just science I don’t make the rules” lmao

[@theheavymetalbrony2257]

And so Futurama becomes a true masterpiece.

[@MTTT19]

You think this episode is emotional? You’ll have to SEE MORE! See what I did there?

[@NiGGA323]

I see what you did there😢

[@无敌西卡]

Every story about fry's old family is touching, including a dog (except for the girlfriend)

[@xxmension04xx47]

Jurassic Bark is the episode that will make you cry a waterfall even if you're prepared for it

[@ahmatt06]

i literally cry when watching this episode.

[@composerbeef]

My favourite episode in this entire series, though I know some people prefer a later episode... You all know which one I mean. Don't spoil it. The writers didn't want to do any serious episodes during the first 2 seasons as they didn't want to put people off, but because of how successful the show had become by the third season they decided it was time to test the waters and have a real tear jerker, and this is what they came up with. Futurama will always be my favourite animated show. Nothing has ever come close.

[@badgerdax1763]

I remember this episode so vividly on TV, made little child me actually tear up

[@XHUERO3]

Great ep this is one of the ep that hits you in the feels. There will be more like this. Can't wait till you get to a certain ep makes me cry even time

[@luis-zn9vh]

I really like your reactions because you really try to understand and unravel everything

[@JordanGrant92]

This and Jurassic Bark absolutely destroy me. SOBBING thanks

[@jinxthatsme2317]

This episode never fails to make me cry.

[@alexthelegoguy4504]

This episode is iconic!

[@DivusMagus]

Futurama always had so much heart.

[@tylerj7298]

He’d have to have a brother because farmsworth is is great (x10) nephew

[@maxdon2001]

Great reaction! This was such a good episode! It hits quite hard!

[@spacesoarer3627]

The reaction we've all been waiting for!

[@pureserenity524]

If Fry was frozen in a building in Old New York in the year 1999, How did he come to be unfrozen in New New York in 2999?

[@bradleykyonizuka2558]

Your twice the THE he ever was

[@craigmorris4083]

"The NY Mets are my favorite squadron". ;)

[@Jexorz86]

Oh one of the 3 episodes that might actually make you cry

[@Sinvare]

Both brothers gave up the clover. Yancey didn't seem to use it between finding it at the wedding and when he passed it along to his son, along with his brother's name and will.

[@dandychiggins7240]

The second most emotive episode imo 🥺❤

[@JulianoAJ]

I was watching the reaction, when suddenly... "WOW! Where did your hair go?" it legit scared me.

[@barbiquearea]

Even before his family was revealed, I assumed Fry must have had siblings if Farmsworth is his great something nephew.

[@ammash3000]

It makes a scary amount of sense for Billy West’s brother to be Tom Kenny.

[@mikemath9508]

This always hit me harder than Fry's Dog. maybe if Fry had a cat I'd be more broken up by that episode, but I much love the first 4 seasons and leaving Yancey a caring brother who learned to love his brother.

[@spencersholden]

The saddest episode in my opinion. As someone with an older brother it really hit me.

[@sebastianquezada5562]

Uno de mis capitulos favoritos de futurama

[@ЯАга-я4л]

Well, he DOES have a grand grand grand...grand nephew professor Farnsworth since ep 1, so Fry having a brother wax kind on the surface lol

[@dkrom]

This ties for my favorite episode of Futurama along with Roswell That Ends Well. But I love all the Fry backstory episodes.

[@WeirdGuy4928]

Such a great episode.

[@LtCzr]

Keep uploading homie, i like watching your futurama reactions

[@harrypootis9519]

This is the one I was waiting for

[@Amoeby]

This episode is goated.

[@irecordwithaphone1856]

Seriously my favorite episode of the show

[@-Miasimon]

Before this episode, this show was just a fun comedy about an idiot trapped in the future with a group of lovable freaks. It was good and had some smart comedy, but not much else. Then this episode came along and reminded us this was a show made by ridiculously overqualified people. Still the best sitcom to this day, animated or otherwise.

[@ofallmyintention9496]

If this episode hits you in the heart, wait until you get to Jurassic Bark; I think it's in season 5.

[@acevedoa89]

The first episode that really made me tear up.

[@0okamino]

_Futurama,_ a silly comedy, but so much more than just that. Of course, the standard 5 day, 40 hour work week is crazy evil radical socialism, just like that commie 7 day week, implemented for bums who are just too lazy to work a 14 day week! (yes, this is intended as satire) “No fair! You changed the outcome by measuring it!” is still among my most favorite nerdy jokes in the series. At least, I’m almost certain it is.

[@po5283]

As funny as this show is, like with the series Scrubs they sure know how to twist the knife when they want to, another series I'd recommend if you haven't already seen it.

[@gemmalow6515]

10:00 Yooo did you get a haircut between clips :0

[@fenrirhere]

Good reaction, thank you.

[@sea-envy3137]

#2 episode to make you cry

[@uncensored008]

This one really close to home. I'm also the younger of two brothers and wouuld like to think that if something happened to me, my brother would name his son (if he has any) after me cause I would do the same for him.

[@milesbradshaw6643]

I love this episode.

[@dennisbenjamin1165]

"Only America would use public schools to teach that socialism is bad." -Barry Crimmins

[@kaybaumann4989]

This is probably my favorite episode to this day and the ending gets me every time. Also yes on the Communism/Socialism bit, but that’s to be expected when you don’t educate the population.

[@georgeprchal3924]

He wasn't original, he wasn't a martian, and since when is he a The? You're twice the The he'll ever be!

[@DeltaFlyer0]

10:15 For a secobnd I thought you had gotten electrocuted and lost your hair

[@Emerald-t7k]

Yup still gets me T-T

[@original__gmebvy]

Even if that was my brother, I still would have taken my 7 leaf clover back. At the end of the day it was Fry’s, and I would be livid if someone took something that belonged to me without my permission and kept it when they died.

[@airwreck213]

I'll never understand why they decided to go with Bender's comedic relief moment("want me to smack the corpse up a little") coming in IMMEDIATELY after the big twist, they shoulda just let us take in the moment for a bit.

[@Howard0Chris]

Why did you mix up the episodes?

[@dylanshadowstar9779]

0:58 notice he doesn't say his father is killed Yancy though.... That's all I'll say.

[@theBOSpaladin101]

He did do the nasty in the pasty!

[@NoriMori1992]

wut?

[@damaniqphillip2756]

Wow

[@nullakjg767]

I totally disagree lol, it doesnt matter what you think, it matters how you act. If youre a piece of garbage to someone your whole relationship but secretly think theyre swell, that makes you a total piece of garbage.

[@JohnDoe-kn7ex]

I don’t think that’s the case here. Growing up, many siblings will have constant fights or squabbles with each other and its a completely normal thing. I don’t think the show really indicates that he was only ever a piece of garbage to Fry.

[@nullakjg767]

@@JohnDoe-kn7ex Yeah and people who had siblings like that end up not talking to them the moment they move out. Lots of people hate their family, it seems fry and yancy were just two more.

[@JohnDoe-kn7ex]

@@nullakjg767 A vast majority of people with siblings don't end up severing ties with their siblings, but most siblings have at least some fighting. A sibling rivalry is completely normal and is in no way indicative of one of the siblings being "a piece of garbage" especially since we only see small glimpses into Fry and Yancy's interactions.

[@nullakjg767]

@@JohnDoe-kn7ex This is not that. Fry literally goes on for 1000 years 100% sure that his brother hates him until he sees a statue. Whats the point of glorifying a sibling relationship if you literally have not one good moment throughout your entire lifespan? At very best, thats an abusive relationship. Sibling abuse is one of the most underreported and ignored types of abuse. Many children grow up in abject fear and terror, forced to share a living space with someone who torments them. I dont get any good vibes from this episode whatsoever. If you do thats great, but i wouldnt want to be your sibling.
