I am a BG designer and this upsets me for being so busy, yet bland. Tedious work.

To be fair, that is exactly how comic book stores look these days.

Are there even small comic book shops like that anymore? They should update it so the Comic Book Guy runs a website. A website called momethingmawful

We have a small handful in my city and they look exactly like that. A few racks of comics, but the vast majority of it is dedicated to Funko Pops and other figures, with tons of expensive figures in glass display cases.

I know that that's supposed to be his home in that shot I guess? But it fits.

I saw the episode and it wasn't even internally consistent. In the bar trivia scene Comic Book Guy quips that sports trivia is a lesser trivia tier, then later is presented as being a baseball fan. Also his Dad not giving him the ball didnt make any sense: wouldn't that be a great gift to give to make up for missing his games?

Baseball is at least traditionally the sport of nerds, apparently. All the statistics and poo poo.

Loren Bouchard is one of those people who has done other stuff that I think is never funny. Like I'm not sure they personally are funny in any way, just like I don't personally associate Groening with anything specifically positive about the simpsons.

A lot of jokes or gags from Futurama stick out in my mind but here's a few. They don't necessarily have the same energy as The Simpsons but they made me laugh.

Human Bender being so heavy the air escaping from the folds in his fat makes a "whooooo" sound and his corspe is rolled out of the room going "whooooooo"

The professor creates a device that only translates a dead language and its French.

Henry Kissinger saying "we've seen too many body bags and ballsacks"

Snoo Snoo

The educational film about space garbage also being pornography.

A sewer mutant saying "The Tide comes" at the sound of turds plopping into water.

The island of misfit robots, I always laugh at the water powered robot and the one who can only communicate through tapes.

"Yep, that's whatever you're talking about for you" and "BENDER, LOOK! IT'S THAT GUY YOU ARE!" still get a lot of play with me. Also

It also nailed emotional endings far better than the Simpsons had in years and years

It's a collaborative effort that takes a lot of work from all involved.

Like even the crazy old man who wrote a ton first drafts of classic episodes, John Swartzwelder, wrote this episode:



Matt Groening and David X. Cohen and a bunch of old Futurama writers are currently writing Disenchantment, which is not very good.

I have groused about it itt, but nobody on that loving show has a character. everybody is the same kind of depraved rear end in a top hat, even the guy who's supposed to be utterly innocent of the world.

it's just lazy as poo poo, which sucks bc it's so visually lush and there's so much potential

Josh Weinstein, the showrunner with Bill Oakley for S7 and S8, is also one of the main people on Disenchantment and yes it's pretty meh



Steve Carell and Greg Daniels made Space Force for Netflix which was also not very good. Not everything a great comedy writer does is going to be a hit I guess
