For all things Futurama

Rule 1: Don't be a jerkwad!

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.

Yeah....don't watch Grave of the Fireflies if you think this was bad. Futurama has drinking and other adult topics, surely a Ghibli film is safe.....right?

I'll die on the hill that Luck of the Fryish is sadder. One is a relationship between a human and a dog. The other is a relationship between two brothers. You really trying to say the dog is worse?

I'll also put Game of Tones above Jurassic Bark. Fry getting to actually say goodbye to his mom and tell her how much he loved her? No contest.

Besides the fact that they totally retconned Seymore anyways and he doesn't die alone anymore. It's the first movie. He lives out the rest of his life with Fry when he returns back in time.

Luck of the Fryish ≥ Game of Tones > Jurassic Bark

Why did you make an almost blank post? All I see it the word Futurama, and I know there were no soul scaring episodes in that. None at all. No way.

Right‽ That toaster was correct to be scared. The junkyard scene was terrifying.

While Jurassic Bark was sad, I still think Game of Tones was the one that hurt the most. I remember it made me sob uncontrollably.

"I've dreamed about you a lot since you disappeared."

Absolutely brutal. A mother whose son has vanished.

I know Lars undid all these things, but we didn't know that was going to be the case at the time.

Most fry-focused episodes are quite emotional.

Luck of the Fryish.

None of you even shed a tear for all the Autobots that died in the Transformers movie... ymms

Why would you remind me of this on a Monday morning. Haven't I suffered enough :(

In all seriousness, great episode, definitely still makes me sad every time even when I know it's coming. Unpopular opinion, I think Futurama was on par with the best Simpsons seasons, and way better than most Simpsons seasons.
