ls this the worst episode of Futurama?

It's better than any of the post-revival ones.

The worst episode is the one with that bone-sucking thing. Either that or the one where the Professor gets into car racing.

I marathoned Futurama recently

Golden age holds up very well, and it manages to hold out pretty damn well after the revival for a bit, but holy hell did Season 8 kill any enjoyment I had

Most sitcoms go through this cycle, where it starts off heavily character-based, using its setting as a backdrop and theming for genuine comedy of people bouncing off one another. Once they drain that well, though, they're forced to push the cast into wackier and more nonsensical situations, and the comedy becomes what bizarre bullshit happens to them rather than who they are and how they interact with themselves and the world around them. Once that happens, stagnation is almost immediate

pre revival the worse ones I felt were either either That's Lobstertainment! The ep with Fry's girlfriend coming to the future, or the one with Leela playing baseball.

The worst new futurama ep was the fucking susan boyle one holy shit I hate that one.

>>88548455
I also laughed at the scene where the werecar drove into a furnace labelled "Warning: Very very very very very very hot"

The worst episode of the original run was a Leela of her own. They had ha few good jokes in the fist minutes but then it starts to suck.

Ah man, the Beck episode was the absolute best. I love when a show can get a celebrity cameo and doesn't put them on a pedestal above the comedy.

counterargument the episode where they shoot bender into space

The worst episodes were the movie episodes and the season after that. Unbearable.

Incredibly they pulled it back together in the season after those though.

>>88548358
The worst episode was the I/Eye Phone.

>>88551626
Any of the episodes where they tried emulate current events with an "in-the-future" spin are absolute shit. Especially the Obama birther controversy one.

The final Futurama Christmas """special""" was the worst episode in the series by far. Not a single joke in the entire episode.

>>88548358
worst episode is the futurama/simpsons crossover.
best episode features a certain dog I wont mention.

>>88552604
It felt like the only reason that episode was made was because Al Gore showed up again

The 7-leaf clover ep was worse. A failed attempt to melodrama with no funny jokes.

Super Yeti's overrated though.

Parasites Lost, and any other episode that heavily focuses on Fry's on & off relationship with Leela belong in the trash.

No, the Route of all Evil is the worst episode. Also what are you talking about OP? That episode had quite a few memorable and hilarious moments.

Do any of you guys ever experience, while watching futurama, no laughs?.
I love the show and think it's funny, but not the kind of funny where I laugh.

>>88553346
They're okay, kind of mellow but still feels similar.

Eye Phone was definitely the bottom of the bottom (And oddly enough not due to iPhone references)

I can't really remember pre-revival any episode that I would call bad. Although I see there are contenders.

>>88556077
The Route of all Evil was pretty terrible.

>>88556117
Haven't seen it for years.

>>88556075
Calling the revival episodes worse is the exact opposite of contrarian.

>Tfw the Italian dub replaced for no reason "Knight Rider" with "The Love Bug" only because the latter's Italian title is "The completely crazy Beetle" so they could add a joke about him being crazy and evil but you clearly see KITT in the scene and no sane person would think that a Pontiac Firebird looks like a Volkswagen Beetle

And that's ignoring the infamous translation error where they translated "Were-Car" as "Car that Was"

No. The absolute worst episodes are the one where Leela was in charge of making a kid's tv show, and the one where Bender plays a Banjo. And this is coming from someone who liked the majority of the revival episodes.

None of those are very good though, and Inspector 5 was extremely predictable. They tried so hard to have one of the tearjerkers of the golden era, but it was just forced. Same with that Game of Tone episode, which randomly decided to characterize a gag character.

>>88558018
As a revival apologist it is fucking awful.

Definitely baiting and contrarian. Like, really rotten bait. Swarming with maggots and flies, dripping with slime and emitting an awful death stink.

That's Lobstertainment is the only answer

>>88558482
>They tried so hard to have one of the tearjerkers of the golden era, but it was just forced.
Fucking this. They got so caught up on the idea that Futurama was a show that had heartbreaking moments that they stopped considering how those moments fit into the structure of the episodes they were in. Luck of the Fryish was sad because all the expectations the show had set up for us up until the reveal told us one thing: Fry's brother was a dick who stole everything from Fry, up to and including his name. Then the reveal happens, and reality kicks us in the fucking teeth: all Yancy was was a man who missed his younger brother. Jurassic Bark was similar: we get an episode-long buildup to an expectation, then the reality of what actually happened to Seymour creates the sadness.

None of the post-revival episodes do this, they literally just tack on a sad ending because "we're a sad show guys, just fucking go with it".

There is literally no question about the worst Golden Age episode.

>>88558839
Why is it so hated?

>>88558926

The whole episode is a one note joke tribute to old Jewish silent film era and it's really not funny at all

>>88556726
>they translated "Were-Car" as "Car that Was"

kek really?

>>88553346
They're not as good as the Simpsons comics but if you like the show, you'll probably like them too.

They had a pretty good Wizard of Oz parody.

>>88555858
Was that the episode were fry had all those worms in him that made him a perfect human being?

Because if so, fuck you that episode is fantastic.

>>88555970
>the episode where Leela becomes a baseball star is better than The Late Phillip J. Fry

Factually wrong.

>>88558926
Because Zoidberg is not funny enough to carry an episode.

>>88548358

Nah this episode is quotable as fuck
>Four wheels! Like a wolf!
>I Choose to Believe what I was Programmed to Believe!
>His windshield wipers were
>I'll kill you too, buddy.
>"You'll like being dead." That's what they said about being alive!

Plus the gags like silver potato and the Windows boot sound. I dunno the worst precancellation episode is probably the one where bender should not be allowed on television.

>>88548358
the episode where all the main cast is on a dessert planet and they swap gender or something? Also the other gender episode was pretty fucking boring too>>88548358

What is the one moment from Futurama that sticks with you no matter what? Mine is

>horny Zoidberg lifting a shitton of weights
>screams for more weights
>Leela says nonchalantly "Why not do more reps with less weight?"
>Zoidberg screams and trashes the place

>>88551565

Celebrity cameo in that episode was great. When I first saw it I had no idea who Beck was and I still thought it was hilarious. Going back now as a huge Beck fan, it's so fucking punchy and perfect.

>>88563345

>I noticed a spike in our water bill. Somebody's been using all the water. Probably you.
He points to zoidberg and zoidberg lets out this scream that's a cross between the Tim Allen noise and the word "Me?" And it just sounds so gruff and alien and confused and sad that I probably think about it and giggle every day.

>>88563345
>What was that?! A tar dolphin? ...Or a tar SHARK?!

It's ok, but it just doesn't capture that "Futurama" tone, it's just too silly and wacky and definitely feels like it's an episode of a show made almost a decade after it was originally cancelled.

I remember that being the episode that made me lose faith in the reboot. Pretty sure I stopped watching after that.
