It seems these people only remember futurama for the Anime parody episode and the video game one, but they forget that such episodes actually had a reasoning within the show to happen
> Anime parody episode and the video game one
I had a friend over and we were watching tv and it just happened to be that one, my parents just happened to be sitting in the room. I wanted to turn that shit off so bad, so fricking embarrassing.

The anime episode is pretty funny if you were forced to grow up watching 1970s-80s anime with shitty dubs and what have you.
As a huge Futurama fan, I can concretely say yes, "The Prince and the Product" is the worst Futurama episode so far, even edging out against what was considered the worst Futurama episode for more than a decade, "The Futurama Holiday Spectacular". At least I laughed during the latter. There really aren't any redeeming qualities to this episode I can think of... well, two of the visuals were clever.
This one was pretty bad which is weird cause the other mini ep ones are all pretty good
I think the first of the hulu eps is the worst futurama ep overall, just dogshit
I liked Bender coming to terms with death and sacrificing himself to save Fry in the Windos short, and the toy gimmick worked for the sacrifice and reincarnation gags. The rest of the ep just sucked, and the toy gimmicks for the most part felt unnecessarily tacked on and irrelevant to the plot. Zoidberg, as a crack-pot surgeon could've just Frankensteined himself, and the final short could've worked with literally any two different things.
The episode would have been so much better if it was completely about Leela falling under a spell and trying to marry the prince
They only had to play it straight, hell you could add a twist that fry was the one who caused the spell by being a moron by the end
The first episode of this season was enough. I thought the first minute or two of continuing where the last season finale ended was rough, but necessary. Then It had fry trying to set a goal with little-to-no provocation, and I was reminded of Bender's line "Isn't it time you gave up all hope of ever improving yourself in any way?" from the first intended series finale, where Fry trades hands with the Robot Devil. Fry's goal since pretty much the start of the show was to get with Leela, so I was thinking this might actually go somewhere. Instead it turned the whole episode into being about fricking Hulu.
"Kidnappster" in season 3 was subtle compared to this. If they did a Hulu parody 20 years ago, the name would at least be a Cthulhu reference as the binging drives him mad or something, not just "Fulu".
>If they did a Hulu parody 20 years ago, the name would at least be a Cthulhu reference as the binging drives him mad or something, not just "Fulu".
Damn, that would have been way better.
But yea, people like to shit on that nappster episode and call it dated but holy shit did it to a MUCH better job of making its concept seem futuristic than pretty much any of these modern "relatable" references.
That's partly because you could completely remove any reference to Napster and it'd still be relevant today. The episode about binge-watching Hulu or that stupid eyePhone episode that was only good for one lousy meme are only going to be relevant for a couple of years, but piracy is far more timeless and even that was barely played a role in most of the episode.
The idea that someone might give-up on real people and date a robot doesn't sound like it's too far off from something that could happen soon, while the idea that if Fry runs out of TV to binge watch he could die sounds like something from the first draft while trying to figure out how to move the plot along.
I probably won't remember it as the worst Futurama episode because I can't even think of it as a Futurama episode. It was a bunch of disjointed scenes that made no sense and casually used the Futurama characters, but it was more of a fever dream than an episode, it felt even less real than a Robot Chicken parody.
>Morty from Rick and Morty
Nah. that was the animal documentary anthology one
Was this episode written by people with downs or something?

>but they forget that such episodes actually had a reasoning within the show to happen
And what reason is that?
The writers thought it'd be funny.

I'm guessing you mean the anime one?

I felt like i took acid or something, what the frick was this episode?
>I was under a love spell
>A magic spell?
>No stupid! A science spell!
>Oh! That makes sense
I think this joke almost salvaged everything
If Cinemaphile exists in 5 years it'll be in a thread where people are quoting their favorite lines in bad episodes.
I hate being trapped here so badly.

Yea it seems the worst, but I actually like the wind-up toy, car, and egg X duck scenes regardless.

If I tried to write the worst possible Futurama episode I could think of it would still not be as bad as this one
I'm honestly surprised Cinemaphile didn't like it with the cuckold subplot?

There is literally no reason to watch Futurama after the first cancellation. Both revivals have been awful.
if Cinemaphile hates it, the writers are doing something right
last week's episode with Zapp was so good, I was really starting to like the season after the rocky beginning. Couldn't even finish this one.
