I always like the inciting incidents in Futurama because they're always so weird like ending up going to war because they wanted a discount on gum or Hermes messing up a pet license leading to Fry almost eloping with a mermaid.
What's best about it, is that they barely last a minute or so unlike the Simpsons where it takes 6-7 minutes. You get invested in one thing and then they throw everything overboard and it's about something else.
For anyone a little too young to get the medical tent reference: It's a reference to the show "M*A*S*H", right up there with Scrubs as one of the best medical sitcoms.
I love how Futurama makes Big social critic/satire hidden in goofy situations. There is always something behind the joke (like the meaningless war here).
But it wasn't meaningless, they conquered a far away planet in the name of freedom!.............. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .this is what our tax dollars are going to
@@jonjohns8145 Well, I think you'll be happy to know that I, a high schooler, got the reference and that MASH is one of my all-time favorite shows and I plan on sharing it with my friends someday.
Maybe there’s something I’m not considering but I don’t understand why Oscar and Ospin in didn’t go with Team RWBY to the vault. Seems like Ospin would have been the best one to notice any loopholes in how they were wording things to Ambrosius. Especially given how much stress everyone is under. Mistakes were bound to happen.
I think you just add a dash and capital letters in there, so... Kar-EN 1.0, maybe change the first letter to Car-EN 1.1. Do robots even need a separate name for it?
I was surprised to hear u say what I've said for years, USA has too much military, it has to be financed and the people needs to be given reasons to accept that all their tax money goes to military instead of going back to the people as it does in the "evil socialist" countries Though it is nice that not only USA is a warmongering country, there are a couple more and they all have those armies and nuclear weapons just to scare each other from using them, but it is of course very sad that innocent countries have to pay the price when the military needs funding Kissingers legacy is that we are more aware of what people in power can do, all bad deeds of history has at least that effect on the future
@@kregy7509 In a way, and the US citizens suffer for it, but it isn't because of NATO that USA is feeding all of their citizens tax money into military, it is because Russia and USA has been ramping up the stakes through the years, especially with the cold war(which in my opinion has not ended) and the main reason for NATO existing is because the war between USA and Russia
"this is the worst kind of discrimination..the kind against me" i feel like this one quote sums up so much of the world today.
Yep!!
Zoidberg is actually a good doctor for every others species, he just don't get human anatomy lol
Yes, Zoidberg is a very valuable asset… for the opposing side, anyway.
"Fry, don't you reconise me?"
"Hermes?"
LMAO
Ahh the first episode fry sings Walking On Sunshine!
Also, Fry thinking Leela is Hermes will never fail to get a laugh out of me lmao
2:37 "He makes Speedy Gonzalez look like Regular Gonzalez." That's one of my favorite quotes from any show. 😆
I LOVE the Line "THAT'S THE WORST KIND OF DISCRIMINATION!! The Kind Against ME!!" .. I use it ALL the time.

Zapp Brannigan having his own Mulan moment
Apparently Billy West was drafted to fight in Vietnam (but didn't end up fighting) so he pushed the Nixon jokes as revenge
I love this show so much! "He makes Speedy Gonzales look like Regular Gonzales" 🤣🤣🤣

Scrubs isn’t good but M*A*S*H is fucking iconic
Honestly Kif venting his frustration at Zapp’s mistreatment by treating Fry the same way makes perfect sense
This was the first Futurama episode I ever saw!

The Hermes/Zoidberg thing is just the running joke of Hermes absolutely hating Zoidberg which is more prominent in certain episodes than others.
Kissinger might actually MAKE IT to Year 3000 the way he's going...
Yep, and he wanted my country to "agree to peace with russia"🤦🏼♂️
Not anymore he ain’t
Love the mash parody! That’s another show I’d recommend for you as well!
An episode I have't seen? Guess it's time to justify my Hulu subscription.
2:08 no America goes for Oil and Strategic Locations, same as China but the USA is open about why we do dumb shit👍
Hermes......?
2x16 Anthology of Interest I seems to be down? or at least missing from the playlist. (if you didn't know already)
Yeah it's just missing from the playlist. I got scared at first because it's one of my personal favorites lmao
Robot Karen in my mind has always been "Dot Matrix"
I can't believe you skipped the sex-lexia joke.
And also "tent got your tongue?"
M.a.s.h. reference anyone?
Young ones never get the reference .. I guess we're old. 😆
Wait. The movie or the tv show? 😉
@@0okamino The TV Show. That switch flick gag was about how the show's episodes occulated between funny and tragic from one episode to another.
@@jonjohns8145 Well, I think you'll be happy to know that I, a high schooler, got the reference and that MASH is one of my all-time favorite shows and I plan on sharing it with my friends someday.
@@aaronfletcher8745 Well I guess the kids ARE alright .. 😃
Hey Eric your thumbnail says 3x17 rather than 2x17. Thanks bud and keep up the great reactions.
I see people bringing up the MASH reference but nobody bringing up the David Letterman Top Ten List reference?
"Soldier Fry"
Psst! "Lee Lemon" isn't from "out of this world." You MUST see "Spaceballs (1987) ASAP!;)
Bit of a difference between a war criminal and a war monger. Henry was a moderate when it came to foreign policy which is why the neo cons hated him.
It is the plot of the war in Afghanistan.
I think I know what that book about ancient Greece is more specifically about. They invented gayness.

...what's this have to do with Futurama?
Wait, werecar? Wasn't the last one the anthology episode?
He recorded the reactions in the show's original broadcast order but he's releasing them in production order.

I know I am late, but doesn't the entire NATO depend on USA and it's army. USA has to have the big army, it's obligated to do so.

Some of the political commentary is disturbingly relevant today eh?
❤
Not a funny show. But, Squidbillies? Wicked fun.
