in Futurama there is literally Al Gore, both in current era years and during the 3000s. Voiced by himself
https://futurama.fandom.com/wiki/Al_Gore_(character)
It was reddit before we realized how cringe reddit was. The same losers that defend Futurama are the ones that say "reddit used to be good". When in reality it was always terrible and you just got older and wiser and for some people who got older but never mentally left adolescence it "still holds up" to them.
Pretty much this, >normal words but a robot-guy.
The only decent episodes are the Star Trek style “go to a planet for delivery and have adventure of the week”.
And every single “obvious 20th century pop reference but in future dress” is terrible.
It had a good run, definitely above average but it developed a 'Rick and Morty' type fanbase before R&M, in fact those same people probably just migrated over. It really had potential but largely underperformed.
how come every simpsons fan I meet in the world is a fairly normal, adjusted person and anyone even mentioning or obsessing over futurama quotes are cringeworthy misfits and neckbeards?
Plebs who never read a SF book.
It’s all reworked material better covered elsewhere, but for - well, plebs - it’s the first place they encountered certain ideas.
Obviously enough I’m not a fan. Has its place but not a highly rated place imo.
what kind of brain damage does someone need to sustain to think that a blatant homage in a show that's explicitly a general sci-fi parody is reworking material
See, you’re assuming I’ve watched that much that I’m referring to any one “blatant homage”.
Seen an episode here and there but it just isn’t interesting.
im rewatching futurama on the tablet while i work out
im at s2e14 i think, it's pretty good
it's been over 15 years since i last watched it
it has aged really well
It's kinda not. If you're familiar with science fiction beyond the popular stuff the satire in the first few seasons is quiet good.
A shame they let it go too long. Just stop watching when you hear Pizzacato Five.
>My nuanced sci-fi parody
Whatever.
The reason is reddit is because it has tons of characters like this.
Robot mafia.
A stale lazy troupe, that was already done better in the simpsons, paodrying moves already 45+ years old.
>hurrdurr the big boss is a fat robot with a cane
Why does a robot need to be fat? >the enforcer is a tall buff guy, I mean robot, and a skinny crazy guy, I mean robot.
It’s all so cringe
I have the same complaint about the flint stones tbh, their feet would get so dirty running around pedaling their cars like that heh heh Betty rubble can get it tho. That’s the kind of waifu you take home to your parents.
Because it was actually great. Then it got resurrected and was shitty. But it was just similar enough for desperate nerds to pretend it hadn't changed. So they just act like it's still great.
I haven't even got to the worst offender.
leaia’s parents.
Who actually live in 20th century New York,
And who are
Just straight israeli New Yorker tv comedian trope , they didn’t even try with them.
Every single episode plot with them stalls and does a nose dive, the laughs per minute count drop to like zero for large spans of scenes
I watched a bunch of it when I was in the looney bin because the 45 year old bipolar dance instructor I made friends with really liked cartoons and I didn't laugh once.
Incorrect hypothesis, if anything, it's the opposite, underrated.
Most people unironically think Simpsons is better, when it's clearly Futurama, at least if you're not a midwit.
>Time traveling bumbler with red hair >Old man mentor with crazy flying machine
When did you realize Futurama was just as much a Back to the Future ripoff as Rick & Morty?
They were a pathetic post Good Simpsons show that slipped a few great jokes in between all the stupidity. Fry is too much of a wuss and too stupid. Study early Homer from Simpsons to learn how to do a buffoon right. Kiff is another abortion of a character that just didn't need to be in the show, except the feature of the show is pathetic males. Seriously, if the israelites who designed and wrote for it had not hated white males so much it would have been a much funnier show.
Seriously though, too much humor based on pathetic males. And shitting all over them all the time at that. It's the classic problem of punching down in your comedy. It just comes off as unnecessarily hostile. It wasn't like Fry would totally screw up and then get hated for making a mistake. It was Fry was just trying to make the best of a bad life and "Ha, ha, ha, ha, now you have your brain slug back on your head, thus you are enslaved to it." For no other reason that to shit all over Fry because he is written as a loser. That's the kind of pure evil that would be appropriate if Fry had tried to genocide some innocent aliens and the crew had to use a brain slug to stop him from being such a prick. But fry is not such a prick. He's no worse than self absorbed. He's down right harmless most of the time. Here's a joke that would be the equivalent amount of evil and off:
In a deliberate space soap opera parody the super duper evil villain comes on screen to negotiate with the crew of a delivery starship about running weapons and nuclear fuel to some worlds he owns. For the first few minutes he and the captain discuss the routine details of who gets paid how much and what the risk premium should be for such dangerous and valuable cargo. Then remembering it is a comedy the Second Mate chimes in: "Wait, you are the villain of the series. Do something super evil so we can all laugh!" (A normal comedy might have him steal an alcoholic drink from one of the crew members and force another crew member to drink it. A Futurama version would have him pluck a child out of a mother's arms and vaporize it while everyone cackled madly. Then he would say, "Think of it as a 7th trimester abortion." To yet more laughter.)
Fry is just a catch-all Joe Everyman character. Everyone has some insecurities and everyone gets into stupid situtations sometimes. He's there as a placeholder for the viewer to relate to. >It's the classic problem of punching down in your comedy. It just comes off as unnecessarily hostile.
It doesn't, unless you are in fact as pathetic IRL as a loser caricature from comedy cartoon.
In Futurama both of these are true. Also it wasn't a 90s show
No we’ve seen the future as the second half since the 60s. At least in literature
in Futurama there is literally Al Gore, both in current era years and during the 3000s. Voiced by himself

The original run isn't.
Because it was always on
Shut-in moron
homosexual poster
THERE'S A WHOLE FRICKING BOARD FOR CARTOONS
Its not a cartoon though, its an animated sitcom
Why?
Unironically a good show up until it's second revival.
The Comedy Central run is underrated. Not that it's brilliant, but it's overhated.

not big on futurama either but have a nice day holy shit
Heh, it’s OK nobody likes being called a pleb. Pleb.
Only plebs call other people plebs.
what kind of brain damage does someone need to sustain to think that a blatant homage in a show that's explicitly a general sci-fi parody is reworking material
Its called autism
See, you’re assuming I’ve watched that much that I’m referring to any one “blatant homage”.
Seen an episode here and there but it just isn’t interesting.
yeah it's far more likely that you're just an unlikable autist
Because some people have only seen seasons 1 - 4 and assume it's that quality during the entire run.
im rewatching futurama on the tablet while i work out
im at s2e14 i think, it's pretty good
it's been over 15 years since i last watched it

I mean no one claims the flint stones was anything except shovelware from hannabarabra
autism has never been so evident
Here is the scooby do version. It’s really just rehacked israeli vaudeville and casttille acts from before 1950 reused till the boomers finally die.
>rehacked
Good morning sir!
Because it was actually great. Then it got resurrected and was shitty. But it was just similar enough for desperate nerds to pretend it hadn't changed. So they just act like it's still great.
Here is another cringe non sci fi thing.
Look it’s making fun of Emeril Lagasse! Except it’s an alien!
Here is another parody that the simpsons did better and was already hacked to bits by Skit shows before that
>le simple country lawyer.
>let’s parody the 3 stooges and parrodggefarms
This guy is seething
Don’t get me wrong, it had some decent 3-diamentional characters that weren't all pre written templates

Take it easy, anon it's just a drawing

Is reddit in the room with you right now?
Well or are in the (chat)room with em, so yes.
I watched a bunch of it when I was in the looney bin because the 45 year old bipolar dance instructor I made friends with really liked cartoons and I didn't laugh once.
>in the looney bin
>pumped full of antipsychotics
>hey how come I’m not LAFFIN MYSELF SILLY
Kek it’s a real mystery
I wasn't on any antipsychotics tbh
Yeah you weren’t just on them you were out of your mind on them.

Hi chang
Checked. But wrong
This.
This here's Frankie. He thinks he works in a lunch room, so we put him to work in the lunch room. HOW'S WORK IN THE LUNCH ROOM FRANKIE?
S'alright.
Poor Frankie...
>when you realize the mess hall scene in that episode has phil Lamar playing 8-9 characters all talking to eachother
Was there no other VA available?
it was cheaper
They were all black robots.
You mean Blacks

Anon, did you clog up the Internet with good morning messages?
>le strong female badass who is stronger and more competent than every man in the show, including professional soldiers
It's all so tiresome...
>Leelaaaa! LEELA LEELA LEELA SO PRETTY
>GOOD MORNING LEELA
>leela show bob
>LEELA LEELA LEELA
Why are poos like this?
I apologize for nothing.
Ponytails are just my weakness.
virgin intimidated by a fiction cartoon female
There's plenty of times in the show where she was wrong, or got beaten down.
simpsons crowd + pop-sci fi "smart" humor = reddit: the show before reddit existed.
It's still great and one of my favorites of all time - the original run at least.
it isn't
If anything, the amount of seething ITT indicates it's underrated.
When it's all said in done, will Simpsons or Futurama be more highly regarded?
>>He is just like me! A simp for a girl who uses him for friendship!.
do NOT redeem
REDEEM

actually, I bumped the thread because I wanted to see you sperg out some more too.

I think my favorite part of this thread is OP spilling his entire psychological profile by misreading a show as shallow as futurama.
Just make better comedy shows and you won't have rando's on the internet pointing out how much your money making scheme sucks.
ok anon, i'll forward your suggestions to the rest of the chosen, we'd never thought of just simply doing better before!
