The futuristic aesthetic works sooo well. The mix between sci-fi / retro makes it timeless, it's clever but it's not constantly diving attention to itself. Most of the gags work decades later, after multiple rewatchs. It becomes it's own aesthetic and not a mash up of parody and references that would date it.

[@sirsurgenor]

I've been watching Futurama ever since I was about 8 years old, and have always loved its more emotional episodes.

[@dalfin9286]

Honestly, I love every single era of Futurama. Despite the occasional poorly-aged episode, the original run is fantastic. The movies, especially BBS offered some of the funniest and most emotional highs in the series. S6 may have experienced a rocky start since the writers at the time hadn't written for the show in 7 years but I thought S7 was a great return to form.

[@ssunsspott]

The only episode I don't like and have trouble watching during a binge is Neutopia, season 6 episode 20. It's such a character killer and has barely any redeeming substance. But the fact that there's only one episode I skip out of dislike is pretty amazing and speaks to how good Futurama is

[@dalfin9286]

@@ssunsspott Yeah for me, that episode would have to be 'Attack of the Killer App' from S6. Despite giving us the best Futurama meme 'Shut up and take my money!" and a decent satire on consumerism, everything involving Susan Boil feels ripped straight out of a modern Simpsons or Family Guy episode and it isn't fun to watch.

@@Johnny2Cellos Wrong. Your editor did not make a smart choice to side you with Twitter. Especially if you own the fact here that it wasnt "homophobic" it was adding backing to Frys desire to exist, a focal plot point of the episode. I grew up with Futurama as a whole, and am Pansexual. I never took any offence to anything, including the supposed "liking men bad" 3 second gag with Frys grandfather thing you showcased. I am also Native American and never got upset about the Martians. You need to stop being so sensitive, if you like a dated piece of television like Futurama, especially the older version of it, you need to learn to keep your modern sensibilities checked at the door. Or do you want more episodes like the Eyephone and Susan Boil thing? As a member of the LGBTQ, please stop getting offended for us, let US make that distinction. Taking a SJW stance just depowers the people that have the right to get offended. If I can use Monty Python as a stance for a lot of my inspiration for acting and comedy as a whole without being offended, you can like Futurama without going full "this joke bad". Notifications are off on this one, I want you to learn from this comment, not here to debate an SJW.

The space bee episode is the one and only "It was all a dream" reveals that does not piss off the viewer. Usually such plots are handled as extremely outlandish BS going on that makes no sense, only explained by "it was a dream none of that happened!" Instead, a lot of it did happen but Leela perceived it differently. Which is why when they revealed that twist instead of leela just going bananas i cried rather than yelled "Oh are you ****ing kidding me!?" at the end.

[@kalebkennedy327]

"The Sting" is one of my favorite episodes, part of this is definitely due to the fact that, Fry kept Leela alive. She came so close plenty of times to taking the 3rd spoon of honey, the spoon that would make her sleep forever/kill her. It's just impactful that we could've seen our favorite cyclops slip away.

[@xsistence13]

Just because I'm currently an emotional wreck that recently rewatched Futurama again with my fiancee, I want to say that the show not only had heart but the most realistic understanding of emotion and tragedy. I say this as someone who lost his brother prematurely several years ago and I can't help but cry with Luck of the Fryrish. Life goes on and it can go on pretty normally as shown with the flashbacks throughout the episode but the ending with Yancy talking about how he misses his brother everyday despite the world still moving and framing the drawing Fry made reminds me of how I kept all the comics my brother drew as a kid and how I have his favorite stuffed animal on the mantle above the TV of the new home my fiancee and I bought. And on the other side, this is the first look at Fry's past that he was always portrayed as happy leaving behind and showing it wasn't as bad as perception made it, which I can understand as well as someone who lived with depression his whole life and never felt I fit in with even my own family until looking at the games my brother and I created and played.

[@Pikminiman]

21:19 As a Navajo myself, come on dude, chill. You say "Where the Buggalo Roam" is offensive, lazy, and not that funny, but to my sensibilities it was one of the funniest episodes, and I was never offended at all. You wouldn't believe the humor we natives play out at our own expense, and that includes making fun of native stereotypes. I don't know why people think natives are so sensitive. Oppressed and historically abused, sure. Impoverished to third-world levels, absolutely. But don't white-knight us just because you never talked to an actual native to figure out what depictions we find offensive. Futurama created a meaningful allegory with the Native Martians, the buggalo, the "bead," the Wongs, and their casinos. Amy even returns ownership of one of her parents' casinos to the Martians in the episode "Viva Mars Vegas." It was a well-intentioned but misguided gesture from Amy, and the Martians express as much in the episode, but that's how the relationship has always been between Native Americans and people of European descent. Meanwhile, you call the writing in "Buggalo" offensive, presumably because (1) you assume natives find it problematic, and (2) pointing it out is a gesture of what you believe is good faith. But to my eyes, it's another misguided gesture. To be clear, I'm a big fan of your video essays, Johnny, including this one. Don't change. I'm not trying to make you feel bad, but there are just so few natives out there to set the record straight, and you deserve to hear it.

[@Johnny2Cellos]

I appreciate you conveying your feelings and perspective, but I absolutely do not appreciate the assumptions about my own intentions and actions. My perspective on this literally stems from talking to or listening to native people I know here in my industry, writing/media/tv/production, and the issues they have with problematic portrayals of natives in media. It's an issue I hear about a lot because I work in media. As I'm sure you know, groups of people are not a monolith, so while this might be how you as a native feel about these portrayals, I'm sure you would also acknowledge that it isn't how everyone feels, and it's weird to tell me that I'm making assumptions while you, in turn, are making assumptions. Nowhere in my video did I speak FOR natives, I was not offended on their behalf, I cited what I felt to be problematic portrayals based on my own research and experience. You are absolutely allowed to feel differently, but please don't make these kinds of public assumptions about my intentions or my life.

[@Pikminiman]

@@Johnny2Cellos : Agreed. I made assumptions about your intentions, and I ought not to have. However, call me uncreative, but there aren't a whole lot of other conclusions for me to draw when you call the episode offensive without specifying why and to whom. What exactly about "Where the Buggalo Roam" was offensive/problematic, and to whom? I wouldn't have commented if you addressed those bits, even if I disagreed. Your point that cultural groups are not monoliths is well received, and indeed appreciated. That said, I've been steeped in this population my whole life, and the people around me get offended not by bad representation, but by the removal of agency that we experience when outside groups tell us what we supposedly think -- like how the word "Indian" is somehow offensive, despite essentially all of us embracing it with pride. Your goal was never to dictate the feelings of others, obviously. I just want to convey that, from my perspective, I get triggered when non-natives tell me what is and isn't good representation. I acknowledge that natives are frequently portrayed as caricatures, almost as if they're extinct. But not every caricature is offensive. That only happens when the caricature diminishes what/whom it's portraying, and I just don't see that in Futurama. To the contrary, I enjoy the inclusiveness. After all, were Italians offended by the Cygnoids in "A Leela of Her Own"? Did Indians (from India) find the Antarians in "Attack of the Killer App" problematic? Maybe, though I doubt it. But I could be wrong! That's why I'm asking what you found problematic about the episode. I'm not discounting the issues held by the natives you've worked with. Natives get a raw deal in most media, but what was it in Futurama? I'm willing to bet there's a video essay premise in here somewhere. Lastly, I want to reiterate, because it's so easy to succumb to the toxicity of internet anonymity, that I'm a fan, and I respect you, Johnny.

[@Johnny2Cellos]

I hear you, and again I appreciate your perspective greatly. I didn't want to dwell too much on the negative in an already very long video, and I did discuss this episode and its representation on my podcast. Here's what I felt came off as harmful in my eyes. The episode obviously uses the Native Martians as a parallel to Native Americans, only on Mars, with the Wongs having seemingly scammed them out of their land. Again another parallel to native displacement in the US. But in the end, the solution is basically that the Native Martians learn that they had actually been traded an incredibly valuable diamond, and not been scammed out of their land at all. From my POV, this solution is what creates the problems, because it implies that A) The natives were not intelligent enough to realize that they had received something actually valuable in the trade, and B) That they were never actually wronged, they had gotten a fair deal for their land Which I think, if you transpose back to its origins as a Native American parallel, is a problematic solution in the episode. Obviously the use of stereotypes themselves can be debated, and not everyone is going to find them harmful. I do think that media, when portraying natives, should make more of an effort to cast native actors in these roles. They clearly just used Billy West and other on staff VAs to play the natives, where as a show like King of the Hill has always had a Native American actor playing John Redcorn. This isn't necessarily a stereotype issue obviously, but more of a representation issue

[@Pikminiman]

​@@Johnny2Cellos : I respect that interpretation. It's more well thought out than mine, and it holds up to deeper scrutiny. After further consideration, my personal suggestion would be, in future, to use the word "problematic" and not "offensive." The latter implies, however unintentionally, that it's your issue to get offended about. The former, "problematic," is something you can easily back up with concise reasoning, as you've just done. If nothing else, it'll spare you the ire of pedants like myself. Have a good one, sir~

I definitely want this trilogy of videos to be completed. I mean it's already 2/3 done! It's only natural to go on with it. Love the Futurama-themed episodes, I bingewatched them all! Great video as always!

[@mrchavezanthony]

The Bend Her episode is a great episode since it showed what would happen in the future with transgender athletes and has been pretty spot on.

[@princegoatcheese9379]

The first four seasons of Futurama will always be special to me. My brothers and I watched it as we were kids, but we watched it on DVD as we didn't really know where it was airing and at what time. We still quote it every now and then.

[@sirjedisentinel]

I'd love to hear you talk about your favorite guest appearances throughout Futurama (like, to use my two favorites as examples, Bea Arthur as the Femputer or Sigourney Weaver as the Planet Express Ship)

[@nikbol43below]

"I wanna see how it ends." was such a perfect line to finish the series with.

[@catandogclone7880]

In my opinion all of Futurama is a golden era. The pre movie era has the most memorable quotes like “If we hit that bullseye the rest of the dominos I’ll fall like a house of cards. Checkmate!” “Aren’t we going after your gargoyle?” “My Whaaaaa” “With me every missions a suicide mission” “Lower, lower, lower, lower, lower, TOO LOW!… Lower” “Whilst you’re under the knife you can get an ink pouch to spray on your enemies to escape” “That’s the stupidest idea I’ve ever heard” “Whoop whoop whoop whoop whoop whoop whoop” And the most famous fan created one. Why not zoidberg.

Unpopular opinion: Luck of the Fryish is much sadder than Jurassic Bark

[@austinsmith1524]

Videos like this make me appreciate the show so much more!

[@XiaolinShwdownKid98]

This show started when I was barely a year old, and now I’m the same age as Fry! Kinda hard to believe, it feels surreal. I only really got into the show in the 2010s because I was too young to fully understand and enjoy it before then, but Futurama is so important to me it’s genuinely my favorite show. It cheers me up on dark days and supplies me with endless quotes to spout at my family. This was a really interesting watch! I love your videos :) Also BENDER IS GREAT!

[@matthewmcree1992]

The episode about Fry's dog makes me tear up every time. Like how can you not start tearing up hearing about a dog that came to wait for someone every day until it's life ends? 🥺 The concept is brilliant. Futurama really is one of the best TV shows ever made and makes Matt Groening one of the most genius producers of all time IMO (and I'm not a huge fan of The Simpsons). Not many shows are both as intelligent, funny, and sweet as Futurama somehow managed to be.

[@MarloSoBalJr]

The episode is pretty much based on a real life event in Japan?... I think the dog waited at the train station for it's owner (who passed before returning home) and sat at that very spot until he/she died. They have a monument/statue for that dog

[@RanterInShades]

My dog was put down last year, and I made a decision at that point that I wasn't going to watch Futurama for a long time until I felt enough time had passed, all because of that goddamn episode. But I have to say, this video along with your other Futurama content is really making me miss it. I'm tempted to break the hiatus after my current binge.

[@techfragrancemarvelfan6072]

Fantastic analysis! Tho I was never offended by Bend Her, or Fry’s Uncle thing. I cannot speak for everyone. But I took those episodes at face value and found them hilarious

[@SMToonSurprise]

Honestly I enjoyed the entire show pre and post fox as the concept of being in the future but still grounded is what made it good.

[@pineapple599]

I don’t think this show will ever get old for me

[@SRosenberg203]

I never noticed until my most recent rewatch that you can literally see Nibbler's shadow under the desk in the fucking pilot. I always thought they added in the fact that Fry was "sent" to the future retroactively.

[@treborkroy5280]

It was added later. Dont think it was aired on tv that way

[@TheAsexualJellyBean]

Godfellas is the first episode I saw where I was genuinely in awe by the end. A lot of episodes prior had made me emotional, and cry and whatnot. but Godfellas just means so much to me.

[@sparco956]

'The Sting' definitely scarred me for a few months when I first watched it. I was most likely 9 or 10 and I was anxious of everything lol

[@sparco956]

I was 9 or 10 when it premiered*

[@charactersin-depth3472]

A Tale of Two Santas was the first episode I ever watched. It introduced me to the word "crap".

[@PikaDikaChu]

The jokes about Frys grandfather potentially being gay always makes me laugh

[@wadereynolds2065]

It’s weird to say but I never got into the Simpsons I was always a Futurama guy and from what I can say about his new show I like the story’s of the characters and how it presents itself I always though you could see more feeling through it

[@dwaynejpeterkin]

As they always stay in a loop as Futurama forward

[@KaiserMattTygore927]

Man I still remember when that holophoner episode was the last one, I remember talking to my dad about how "they need to bring back Futurama"

[@papi-sauce]

this show was one of the best ending for a series ever. truly masterful

[@ImDemonAlchemist]

Yet another top notch video from this channel. Can't wait to see the Revival Retrospective and beyond.

[@Ichigonephilimdark]

Just finished a full watch of Futurama last night! I was actually surprised I had watched basically off of the Fox run before, save for the superhero one. Revisiting the series made me realizes how much impact its actually had on me as a person and storyteller. It also made me realize that I somehow still remembered all the lyrics to Hermes song. Very excited for your retrospective on the final seasons!

[@nicolasgomez4052]

I keep the ending of Jurassic Bark on my brain's speed dial for when I need to put on a serious face or stop myself from laughing
