For all things Futurama

Rule 1: Don't be a jerkwad!

Rule 2: Alternate video links to be linked in a comment, below the original video.

We tuned in expecting jokes and space hijinks.

What we got… was Seymour.

This wasn’t just a cartoon episode. It was a punch to the soul.

No dialogue. No manipulation. Just one dog… waiting.

Futurama showed us that animated stories could hit harder than real life.

Some of us still aren't over it.

It’s wild that racism had to be parenthesized—as if it was just a side note. That word shaped decades of “normal” entertainment. This isn’t just nostalgia; it’s unmasking the blueprint.

No, it was just the convention of putting (nsfw) after a link to avoid getting banned, except that specific abbreviation didn't seem like the right one.
