Does anyone else find Futurama kind-of cringe now? Some of the jokes stand up but no one really goes to it for meme content the way might have thought years ago.

I just finished rewatching the whole thing last week. The original series had some more boomer humor than I remember, and it was amazing how much of the reboot stuff I plain forgot. Remember the episode with Zoidberg's girlfriend? How about Bender entering a tap dancing contest? That was the same episode!

The best moments of Futurama are as good as most of what the Simpsons did, but Futurama never had episodes that were on par with the golden age of the Simpsons.

The one with the bees is the one I remember as being almost as good as Golden Age Simpsons because it was largely a straightforward sci-fi story instead of trying to clear the high bar of sci-fi + comedy. The one where they all get de-aged is up there as well; again Futurama was better to me when it was just trying to be sci-fi with occasional jokes and a comedy cast. Some would cite the dead dog episode or the episode where Leela finds her parents as on par with Golden Age Simpsons, but I respectfully think they're dead wrong. Those episodes are far from bad, but they kind-of go for the cheapest below-the-belt emotional shots. They really can't compare to Homer's Mom, "Do it for Her," or Mr. Bergstrom. Maybe that's an unfair comparison, but I think it's fair enough. The less said about the revival episodes the better.

Amazon Women in the Mood comes close to the jokes per minute that Golden Age Simpsons had. Just joke after joke after joke.

Futurama also didn't have the benefit of being on twice a day in reruns after school, so it's not nearly as quotable.

Top 10 relative to other Futurama episodes, but we're measuring long-term cultural impact. We've around 1,000 pages remixing primarily 7-8 years of a show from a quarter century ago. All I was supposing is that Futurama has objectively turned out to have less impact than one might have thought back in the 00s.

I love futurama but it's best content is short individual jokes or concepts like hedonismbot and the professor being essentially a wizard.

Memento posted:That's The Late Philip J. Fry, and is absolutely a revival episode. It's also the best episode of the entire series, and it's not even close. I swear I just don't see what other people see in that episode. It's not bad by any stretch but it never resonated with me. It felt like a cheap attempt to revisit the same gut-punches as the dog or the orphan parents or the clover, but like I said those were already cheap shots. It's not as bad as the "Hermes was always Benders' 'dad'" twist which can suck a railroad spike, but it's closer than further. I did forget about Godfellas though. That episode deserved the Emmy.

"Yes, you were doing quite well until everyone died" That episode, jurassic bark, and the opera finale are probably my top 3.

I also completely forgot about The Farnsworth Parabox until seeing it on The List. Man, that show really did have some cool sci-fi concepts. I should rewatch it. For all the visual similarity to The Simpsons it really was a completely different kind of show. Classic Simpsons was pretty much all character-driven satire, while Futurama had satirical elements but was generally just comedy-sci-fi played straight and done well. e: it's late and I want to amend this post to say that Futurama did a LOT of satire but was at its best when it earnestly explored sci-fi concepts, don't @ me Bootleg Trunks posted:The weakest episodes are definitely from the revival. these ones were quite quite bad though yes Writing an episode of your show set in the year 3000 where the plot is that the characters use the Internet is a capital-B bad idea and that poo poo should have been left on the cutting room floor. It already felt dated at the time and was clearly going to age poorly. loquacius fucked around with this message at 04:35 on Oct 27, 2020 |

I'm a huge sap so I really liked episodes like The Sting even though they usually aren't as quotable. I enjoyed The Late Philip J. Fry but I would not put it at the top.
