We’ve been revisiting Futurama in the lead up to its Hulu return and I have to say the show is still one of the best of all time. The jokes still hit and the characters may even be MORE lovable than I remember. What are some of your favorite moments? (from the old show of course)
My favorite episode is Kif Gets Knocked Up a Notch for sure. So many great lines! The phrase “partially barfed-up heart” made me laugh so hard I had tears in my eyes. Not to mention this insane even-with-context line;
“Spare me your space-age technobabble, Atilla the
Hun!”The season opener was hilarious. Good sign of things to come but this show is always so good at trying to make its return right before a writers strike.
I thought it leaned I to the meta a bit much, but that was also the case for the first episode when they came back the other times so I am still optimistic since the non-meta stuff was excellent.
My wife and I still refer to any character in a show who’s name we can’t remember or who shows up out of nowhere as “Scruffy the Janitor”. It’s such a perfect 4th wall breaking gag.
Scruffy died doing what he loved.

Drop down, increase speed, reverse direction!
That whole what-if felt like a whole episode of jokes in 1/3rd of the time.Also the finglonger from the first anthology of interest .
My favorite joke of the whole series comes from Bender in the first episode: “Okay, but I don’t want anybody to think we’re robosexuals. If anybody asks, tell them you’re my debugger.”
