Why do you watch Futurama - It’s not funny

[A Gay Retard]

Justify your poor taste

 

[I've Seen Some More Shit]

It was funny in a low energy, mile-a-minute sudden exhale through the nostrils humor way for a while for a very specific demographic of speculative sci-fi-liking nerds. If you aren't in or adjacent to that bubble, it's just not gonna be funny.

It was in the sunday Fox program with all the other shows that aren't funny.

King of the Hill.

King of the Hill.

King of the hill isn't supposed to be funny, it's meant to be taken seriously. If you laugh at it you're laughing at Texas.

I always laugh at Texas

Don't tell that to Texas or it will get mad and try to rustle you.

Hey at least Futurama had the decency to end.

But then it got revived for several movies, revived for comedy central, and now revived for hulu.

Are we talking about the same Futurama because they keep bringing it back over and over like an unfunny jason voorhees

 

[Plantation Barbie]

It had potential but the constant pop culture references and commentary on modern day social issues really ruined it's appeal.
And it gets worse with every revival. The first episode to the latest season is just a giant ad for hulu.

i didn't watch futurama and never will. anime is for faggots and pedophiles

 

[Alligator Alcatraz]

Futurama almost comes across as a mockery of human advancement, Americana, and how humans treat non-humans.

Part of what made Futurama enjoyable were the plausible science-fiction scenarios and humbling of humanity to the universe community at large. In Futurama, humans are just a small part of this crazy universe, with a cast of humans as a mere delivery service. At it's release most science fiction media placed humanity on a pedastal as heroes. In Futurama, the universe tells humans "Been there, done that. What took you so long to get to space?".

I think the delivery service thing also made it easy for the creators to write "calls to adventure", as most episodes started with "a job" and shenanigans ensue.

I haven't seen the new movies or episodes because it's obvious the show ended a long time ago with that episode where Leela and Fry grow old together and decide to "do it all over again". Modern Futurama is basically as relevant as Spongebob and Simpsons.

it was good when it came out compared to the other shit out there at the time.
Plus it was funny hearing Peggy Bundy again.

Wait WHAT THE FUCK happened?!

Hey at least Futurama had the decency to end.

They got picked up for another season or so. The new season started airing about 1-2 months ago.

The Hulu revival that happened this year is probably because every company and their mother has their own streaming service, and Hulu needed something to attract people to their website (besides The Office reruns).

 

[Ughubughughughughughghlug]

My biggest complaint about Futurama is it having some ugly shitlib environmentalist cyclops (aka sci-fi Lisa Simpson) as a main character and not having her be a big joke.

Holy fuck it took you saying that for me to realize Leela has the same voice.
