Number 1 is even more emotional thanks to it’s intial broadcast. Right after Fry and Lela agree to “go around one more time,” the next show on the program was the very first episode of the series. Literally going around one more time.
When fry figured out his nephew was named after him. It shows how much his brother actually loved and cared for him no matter how much they fought, he missed him. As simple minds played I was in tears
@@swish9727: Yeah. Fry at least had all his new friends and a brand new life to get used to, to at least distract him from the worst of his grief, but his family had the hole he left to deal with. And it's not like they ever found a body to at least tell them it was over
That song and this episode are forever tied together in my mind. When I hear "Don't You Forget About Me", my mind instantly recalls this episode and I anb have to fight back tears.
The Sting, anyone? The whole episode thinking Fry was dead and Leela's sorrow, made her almost kill herself(sleep forever) and in the end, Leela was in a deep coma and Fry's voice was what wake her up.
This video did nothing but reinforce my idea that Futurama is a brilliant show, probably the most underappreciated ever. (For me, the one about Fry's mom was the most emotional moment)
Luck of the Fryrish was the first episode of the show that made me cry openly. Considering that i'm the older brother in my family, it's an episode that really hits home for me.
zeldaed123 I know those feels. In my opinion, this episode was way more emotional than the Seymour episode. I’m also an older brother and it would absolutely kill me if my younger brother just up and disappeared and was never seen again. The fact that Yancy never got to tell Fry how much he really loved him and how he’ll never know how much he was missed is just kicks you straight in the feels.
Yeah that one was tough for me, I remember watching it for the first time shortly after my older brother passed away. It was my favorite moment of the show
zeldaed123 I was also the older brother and I was typical and pushes my brother around even though we bonded a lot but then he died at about 13 years old when I was 15 so that episode just beat the shit out of me with feels
the best part about The End was actually when it first premiered. Farnsworth said they could go back to before he made the device that got then stuck in the first place. they say yes, Episode ends then (because television) the next episode on TV was the very first episode of the show, giving it a whole endless loop thing that the show will never truly end.
I agree. I think it's the fact we never saw how his parents felt after he disappeared. It always showed his mom being inattentive, but that proved that she loved and missed him a lot.
What makes the one with Fry’s brother even better is that it was Fry family tradition to name the boys Yancy. Fry’s brother missed him so much he broke this tradition. Knowing this, the tears keep coming.
It's weird because I watched the finale when it originally aired, and when they say they're going to go back and do it all again, as soon as they went through, it ended without any credits and the first episode started playing.
Joshua Griffin if you think about it that makes sense because they are restarting from the beginning of an endless loop making it possible that all reruns are actually just the timeline repeating itself again adding a hidden meta joke lol
Ruby Rose the death of Pyrrha hit me the hardest, why didn't you get to her in time 😭 (In all seriousness though, fry's mother made feels really hard to ignore.)
I cried like a baby in the Jurassic Bark episode. It reminded me how loyal my dog was for 15 years. He was always by my side and I couldn't imagine life without him until he was gone. Just knowing Seymour would never get rewarded for his loyalty kills me. Fry will never how loyal Seymour was which only makes it 10 times worse
in benders big score it's revealed a parallel timeline version of fry lived with him and he got fossilized because bender in accidentally coated him in massive amounts of stone
Man. EVERYTIME I see the beginning of that episode where Bender is doing magic, I change the channel. That episode hits me so hard that I had to remember how it starts so I could switch the channel.
I held up my tears, twice, once when Fry saw his mother in her dreams, I almost cried like a baby girl and then when his brother misses him, man you're touching high notes here. This all makes me feel for my family, for my mother who loves me and my brother that I couldn't see my life without.
Actually, I believe the Professor says they won't remember anything which makes it a more emotional ending. I think it's also suppose to suggest they go all the way back to when they first met, episode one. Amazing show, will always love Futurama!
Tizzy13 I thought this as well for a long time but you really have to listen to the Professor as it sounds like he's rambling. He says they won't remember anything until the moment before the time remote is conceived, which only brings them back near the beginning of the episode. But it's still odd, if they truly won't remember they might just do everything again and would be stuck in that loop of that one day. Unless there's a return of Futurama, and the Professor does indeed remember since he would be the one controlling the remote which seems likely and the most sense. It would be a good twist upon the return of the show....which I hope happens.
It was a bit longer after for me, but it just so happened that very year my family went to visit my sister who lived 18 hours away for a few weeks, and we couldn't take our dog. We had our neighbor take care of her while we were gone. When we got back and I went over to my neighbors to get my dog, I learned she had died just a few days before we got back. so as you can imagine this hit really hard, and still does.
there is one crucial moment that WC forgot. it was in the string of episodes made into a sort of movie where Leela falls in love with a man named Lars and through a very complex string of time travel paradoxes we learn the Fry was Lars the whole time. Fry went back in time to the moment he was frozen and lives his life back in the past for another few years. not only does he actually get to meet his nephew he also gets to spend more time with Seymour until he passes in an explosion. we get closure with frys past and we get to see paradox Fry/Lars almost achieve his life goal in marrying Leela before the universe corrects the paradox and he dies. By far my favorite Futurama episode(s)
man that is one the most crucial twist plot ever when I seen the movie,where that Lars is actually fry all along,at first when I saw the movie I thought this guy look likes fry with no hair,just beard and he's mide 30s since then that actually is fry, fry must go back his time to spend time with his family and find a job in 21st century,but since then he's change his heart to go back the future and have a chance to love leela,wow just the sad moment and sacrifice.
whats all the more heartwarming is that just before he realizes he is in fact lars, fry lets go of his feelings and accepts the fact that leela is happy even though its with another man. another funny thing is that the chamber he uses to return to the future just so happens to have his ex girlfriend in there and he pays her NO MIND he just wants to get back to leela. pure poetry
The best part about the final episode is the fact that after it ended, they went and played the very first episode right after it. Such a fantastic way to end a series.
I agree with you that was a very emotional part of this series. I remember my son crying over that when it was obvious, to him VERY obvious. At 6 he'd figure out a who done it by connecting the things that were revealed through a movie where based on the scenes he could figure out which way the movie was going to go. Kick ass.
The Sting didn't make the list because there are more than 10 really emotional scenes in Futurama which is a testament to how fucking good that show was.
Wait, in _The End_ didn’t the professor say they would *lose* their memories from the long life they lived if they went back? And Seymour. That ending was so unexpected and so sad (and so not necessary to the story) I will never forget the moment I saw it for the first time (it’s been, what, over 15 years 😥)...
I think the reason why the show managed to get so emotional, sad but also beautiful, is not simply cause of the setting. it's cause while it is brilliantly written and done, it's still a very lighthearted and fun show. So when something actually dramatic or sad happens, it hits you so much harder. The first few seasons of scrubs did something very similar. That's also why I think a lot of drama shows aren't nearly as powerful, cause it's hard to feel sad during certain moments, when the majority of the show is sad.
you just summed up how I feel about game of thrones and also fresh prince of pel air in got everything go's wrong and I'm just so so board but with fresh prince when will breaks down because his dad doesn't love him or when will gets shot and Charlton starts carrying a gun but will begs him to get rid of it I just broke down into a million tiny pieces because they came out of nowhere in such a silly show
That seen with WIll ranting about his father wasn't scripted that way. That was just pure emotion from him talking about his actual dad leaving. It's a big part of why that scene was so powerfully sad.
How about the episode where the crew had to go to that space bee hive where when Leela took a space bee that stung Fry.Then Fry died from the sting and Leela kept hallucinating that Fry was alive.Before Leela would go insane,she wakes up to see that she has been I’m a coma for two weeks when the poison of the stinger stuck Leela.We hear from Amy that Fry was beside Leela for every minute in the two weeks she was in her coma
Two honorable mentions should be: "Sting", for the almost disturbingly depressing downward spiral of insanity that Leela goes through and the emotional twist end. As well as "The Why of Fry", for the scene where Fry talks to Nibler before having to decide to freeze himself "What is the cost of one life to save the lives of the whole universe?" "...But it was my life.".
The ending was so perfect that I don't think they should bring it back tbh. If they brought it back it would end up like The Simpsons where the majority of fans just want it to stop
As much as I love Futurama, I think it ended on a high note and it doesn't need to be brought back; it shouldn't become what the Simpsons and Family Guy has become now
This show will make me cry faster than any other. The writing and storytelling is so moving and powerful; I’m so grateful I got to experience this show when I was younger.
Never has a cartoon made me feel so much. My absolute favorites are: Jurassic Bark Sting The Devil's Hands Are Idle Playthings Bender's Big Score The Late Phillip J. Fry Ghost in The Machine Funny how the episodes that really got me were the ones involving Fry, Bender and the Robot Devil. Lol. Here are some of my favorite moments. I love, love, the soliloquy Fry gives when he is given the ultimatum of delivering up the robot hands to spare Leela from marrying the Robot Devil. "Destiny has cheated me, and forced me to decide upon. The woman that idolize and the hands of an automaton." The jealousy that Bender feels towards Fry when Seymour is about to be resurrected. He sees the pain that Fry feels seeing the fossilized dog sink into the lava and dives in to save it. It's so funny that a machine is possibly the most emotive of all. Even more heart-wrenching is the song that they play as Seymour waits for Fry to come back until he dies (of old age or a broken heart). The moment when Leela wakes up from the coma because she hears Fry calling out to him. He's been waiting there for days while she was in a coma calling out to her. It reminds me of an episode of Lost where Desmond's consciousness travels between 1996 and 2004. The episode ends with him realizing that Penny still loves him after 8 years of not talking to her. She is his constant. (Lost Season 4: The Constant). Fry is bound to Leela and Leela is bound to Fry and also, Bender is bound to Fry as well. It's adorable. What was spectacular was the realization that Fry had when he became Lars. He raced off to her, "I'm coming Leela!" I'll add to the list that episode where Fry goes into the dreams of his mother. He talks to her in her dreams to give her closure. I'm a momma's boy and so I can identify with what Fry is feeling. What a great show! Though it's tempting to wish for more episodes since the show is canceled, I don't wish for more. I think that the show did what it should have done in the few episodes that it gave us. I'm a big Simpsons fan, but, even I admit there were some duds. Futurama just consistantly delivered great episodes one after another. I'm also a big Math nerd. So, I appreciate the Physics and Math jokes. "Oh Bender, there is no such thing as 2."
The Sting really shoulda been here too. early episode...but... you really saw just how devoted Fry was to Leela. mean... for god's sake, he placed himself between a space bee he knew full well would probably kill him if it stung him if it meant Leela would live. Add to that he literally never left her side almost the entire time she was in a coma. for weeks.
One of my fave tv shows of all time. Shame that it's been cancelled twice because it's not as popular as The Simpsons, which has overstayed its' welcome.
and what pissed me off most about the Simpsons is they never let the kids get older except in special bullshit flash forward episodes, and the fact they kept changing how Homer and Marge met because the damn thing has been on for so long. Futurerama could not have ended more perfect, but damn it should have lasted much much longer.
I think the cancellations and razor thin wire were a perfect thing for Futurama. It encouraged them to try new things and go new places rather than rehashing old ones. There are about 10 years worth of Futurama, but the fact that this list has moments from both the pre- and post- revival eras shows that they put forth genuine effort. And hey, at least they GOT an ending.
kyuven maybe so, but with something like the Simpsons getting what is it now 26-27 seasons it just makes me sad and angry, because I think there were still stories to tell in this huge universe. Regardless, I love this series, cancelled or not and if it returns I will welcome it back gladly.
+Commodorefan64 I mean I guess it could of went on for longer but I think by the last season it was starting to show that the series kind of needed to end. I like the show (at least most of the episodes even post ones to a degree.) but I felt like besides a few gems the last season overall was kind of meh to me. I mean the last two episodes were great as they were for a suitable finale I don't know what else they could of done but that's just me.
I never find anyone else who watches Futurama, and if I tell anyone about it, it's dismissed as any other simple cartoon. But it's not. And I thought I was the only one who appreciated it, but I guess I see there are many others who do. This is the only show I've ever gotten emotional about
"The final episode, the last moment of the show. Will you leave the audience baffled and underwhelmed?" *Shows picture of How I Met Your Mother* Damn, I love HIMYM but so true
yeah i will never accept that ending as the true ending. I always look at the alternate ending as the real one. It was just such a let down after such a good show..
I haven't watched the video yet, I don't care what anyone says I think the moment when Fry's able to talk to his mom is the most emotional part of all Futurama.
Sean Anthony you're not wrong. the Seymour moment is a favourite for emotional moments among the people, but you don't fully get the weight of Fry's mother's dream until you've lost someone that close to you. i think it's probably a good thing that so many people overlook it in a way, because that's the sort of pain that you would wish on no one.
Sean Anthony I watched it with my mom and I cried in her arms because I was being an asshole to her for so long so futurama brought me to love my mother a lot more
After I saw the "Seymour" episode I was still sad like 3 hours after it was over! Saddest cartoon ever!! And that song that plays....not sure what its called but the lyrics said "I'll wait for you"..........I'm gonna go cry now
I thought it was messed up that everyone didn’t care that fry was literally trying to remember his mom through the whole thing but trying to find where the jingle was I wanted to yell at them saying “he lost his mother HIS MOTHER!! You’d feel like this too if you’d never see your mother again but all of you can cause there still around and fry doesn’t even know where she’s buried to visit her grave!” I’ve never lost my mother personally but I know for a fact that I’d visit her any chance I get.
is it underrated? I liked the show hated the ending. What i hate about people is that they wont watch a tv show if they "think" they wont like it. I say to a person watch doctor who. People say " I dont like the show, because i dont think i like the show" Something similar to that etc
WhatCulture, you did an amazing job on this list and such memorable moments in Futurama. It is my favorite show and I can remember every little detail from the points that you described. You scored them perfectly and I will say, great job and good video -Dakota, Minnesota U.S.A
Something I realized after the first couple seasons is that the underlying theme of the series is love. Watch virtually any episode from the beginning on and it's thematically about love. Romantic, platonic, and familial. Often the pursuit of love or lost love. Episode one begins with a very lonely and despondent Fry inadvertently waking up 1,000 years into the future, then saving the lives of Leela and Bender by giving them something better than what they had before, a kind of friendship they hadn't known.
Vincent Franklin Me too! Zoidberg finding happiness really touched me. Like they said in the video, it's another way you knew the show was coming to a true end. I'm glad they didn't forget about Zoidberg and allowed him his happiness.
bgb0411 Zoidberg is one of my favorite characters on Futurama. He kept getting dumped on, yet, he still remained a nice guy. That's why I cried. I forget the episode where Professor Farnsworth has a disease that changes him into a yeti, but that got me , too. Zoidberg saves him because he and the Proff are real friends.
The yeti episode totally got to me, too! He put himself at risk to save the professor! He's one of my favorite characters as well. It's inspiring how he can be consistently ripped on and knocked down by life and yet remain so kind and humble. If anyone deserved a happy ending, it was him
Actually in the movie "Bender's Big Score" it is explained that after Leela fell in love with another guy, Fry went back in time a few years after his disappearance and resumed his old life. He got to meet his nephew and rented the apartment upstairs Panucci's and lived there about 12 years and all this time the dog was actually living with Fry, but staying outside the pizza place. So... less sad
mrcoolyandoporlavida yep, and the twist to that was that Fry became the other guy Lars Fillmore that Leela fell in love with after an apartment fire burned his hair off and damaged his larynx, and he realized that he was Lars all along.
Jurassic Bark was indeed sad, but you forgot that in some point in the serie Seymor's life became less sad when Fry accidentally created a time paradox clone using the time traveling code in his tattoo ass and the clone decided to stay in the year 2000 to avoid causing more harm to the galaxy, living the events Fry missed during his hybernation
Some missing moments: A Farewell to Arms: Fry is willing to stay on a doomed Earth to let Leela escape. Calculon 2.0: Calculon's speech about how the world's moved on without him. Near-Death Wish: Farnsworth and his parents. The Mutants Are Revolting: Mr. Astor's story. The Sting: Fry's death, Leela's attempted suicide, Fry begging Leela to wake up in the hospital. Bendless Love: Bender accepts that Angeline loves Flexo, and helps him out from an "unbendable" girder.
Fraxlevein Another honorable mention should be the time Fry had the brain worms that made him smart and Lela fell for the smart talented version of Fry but had to give that up to save him
true, the concept was great and charactherization was really really well developed. Simpsons tend to feel a little stale and underdeveloped in comparison
And this is why Futurama is my favourite TV show. Most emotional for me was Leela's message in "The Late Phillip J. Fry". Especially as Fry reads it in Leela's voice. I don't think any other show could have this kind of potential. A good successor is Rick and Morty with about 4-5 heart wrenching moments (thus far), along with the humour being incredibly smart.
I wish I'd seen this from beginning to end when i was older and could appreciate the heavy themes. But I don't regret having grown up with it either. The episode where they go millions of years in the future and watch the end of the universe made my cry so hard when I was like 17.
Despite its comedic undertones the episode where Bender was the Metal Lord to the tiny people who landed on him while he was drifting through space was pretty sad even though he and Fry where reunited and all was resolved by episodes end.
I don't know if they could, though. The ending tied up pretty much all of the loose ends and gently let the show go to rest. If they brought it back, it might feel forced. Though maybe they could get a new cast of characters and tell a different story.
Nicely done! You picked all of my favorites... Seymour, Yancy, so many wonderful moments between Fry & Leela. It, my all time favorite is "Leela's Homeworld". You have to have a heart made of stone and no soul, not to tear up at the ending! So sweet. So heartwarming. I tear up every time. Lol!
Aaaaahhhhh I'm so glad you chose what you chose as the #1. The final episode isn't just sad because it's emotional in itself, but also because it's probably the perfect ending to a show like Futurama. It doesn't leave itself completely unable to come back, but it totally finishes a decades-old storyline in the most complete way possible.
I go back to this video every time I need a good cry, to let out sadness and pain that linger in me. So thank you to whoever wrote this list years ago. Thank you.
I don't think the end was lazy, it was a finale. When you're forced to have a finale, you have to scrap all the other ideas you had and work to a stupidly tight deadline to get out something that seems like a satisfactory closing and summary of the entire show. I watched the episode for the first time just now. It was definitely in the top 10% of Futurama episodes.
the episode called "The Sting" was really sad to me, idk about anyone else. Where Leela was in a coma and fry never left her side even though all hope was nearly lost and the odds of her waking up were very low
honestly that end is one of the, if not tied with the best endings of all time, it was so perfect, fit the show, had the right about of meta, and wrapped it all up with a bow!
Either you're bad at debating with people or you only associate with lunatics. :p Family Guy was only good for the first two seasons and then went to complete shit. Futurama got cancelled by idiots not once but twice before it's completion and is revered for 99% of it's episodes. (Basically there are 3 most people agree aren't good. Leela of Her Own, That's Lobstertainment, and In-A-Gadda-Da-Leela)
I don't think you can compare the two. American Dad and Family Guy, yes. But Futurama stands alone in quality of humor and complexity of plot. I watch nothing but American Dad and Family Guy and Futurama, throw in some Archer, South Park, Squidbillies and Bob's Burgers. Cartoons rule.
People saying that Futurama cancellation is good because they fear that the show can turn into the Simpsons.. c'mon.. They have the entire universe, the power to move across timeline to give us so many good episodes with many ideas. I think, seriously, that futurama can still be fresh up to a season 15 at the very least. That is what trigger me most about the cancellation of this amazing show. The potential for new ideas was huge compared to another sitcoms, and it was cancelled too soon. Everytime I hear something from Futurama it's makes me sad because of that. Futurama was one of a kind trully.
Futurama has more potential than the simpsons, but after awhile there was a lot of flanderization and more episodes about robots than exploring new planets/alien cultures etc. I'd be all for it if there was an influx of good writing, but the characters started to flatten out after awhile so I'm cool with it. great show though.
Well, the Simpsons were also good the first let's say 10 seasons. But Futurama has always been more ironic, critical, sarcastic, ... than the Simpsons.
@mrgladbeastftw I completely agree, and Ive been saying that same thing for years. Futurama bowed out as gracefully as a show could ever hope to do and kept its dignity intact. I would hate to see it come back and soil its own name. Lets let sleeping dogs lie in this case and be grateful we as fans got the ending we all deserved.
Number 1 is even more emotional thanks to it’s intial broadcast. Right after Fry and Lela agree to “go around one more time,” the next show on the program was the very first episode of the series. Literally going around one more time.
thelinedrive I remember that and I died inside
I watched every episode in chronological order on Netflix and after that episode, I immediately did it over again.
YES!!! I watched it live with my best friend back in college and I cried at the end. And when they went back around I cried even more.
I think about that a lot. It hit such a chord
Well played, Comedy Central. Well played.
When fry figured out his nephew was named after him. It shows how much his brother actually loved and cared for him no matter how much they fought, he missed him. As simple minds played I was in tears
I was too
It’s sad for Yancey he lived the rest of his life with absolutely no closure as to what happened to his brother.
This episode really made reconsider how I treated my brother back when we were kids
@@swish9727: Yeah. Fry at least had all his new friends and a brand new life to get used to, to at least distract him from the worst of his grief, but his family had the hole he left to deal with. And it's not like they ever found a body to at least tell them it was over
That song and this episode are forever tied together in my mind. When I hear "Don't You Forget About Me", my mind instantly recalls this episode and I anb have to fight back tears.
The Sting, anyone? The whole episode thinking Fry was dead and Leela's sorrow, made her almost kill herself(sleep forever) and in the end, Leela was in a deep coma and Fry's voice was what wake her up.
Crying my eyes out to that episode brought me here
Yeah the sting was heartbreaking... that last 'wake up Leela' gets me every time
I love The Sting, it is number one for me. I would like to make a whole movie on that premise! Great episode!
The sting has to be the most emotional episode on Futurama
That episode put me through hell; I bawled my eyes out for days
This video did nothing but reinforce my idea that Futurama is a brilliant show, probably the most underappreciated ever. (For me, the one about Fry's mom was the most emotional moment)
Alex Ulacio I agree that was
Way better than that shitty Bob's burger
same. never saying goodbye to someone you lost is a pain that never heals...
Luck of the Fryrish was the first episode of the show that made me cry openly. Considering that i'm the older brother in my family, it's an episode that really hits home for me.
zeldaed123 I know those feels. In my opinion, this episode was way more emotional than the Seymour episode. I’m also an older brother and it would absolutely kill me if my younger brother just up and disappeared and was never seen again. The fact that Yancy never got to tell Fry how much he really loved him and how he’ll never know how much he was missed is just kicks you straight in the feels.
Symore was one the only things that ever made me cry while watching a tv show.
Yeah that one was tough for me, I remember watching it for the first time shortly after my older brother passed away. It was my favorite moment of the show
The episode that made me cry the most was the last one, it was sad but heartwarming at the same time.
zeldaed123 I was also the older brother and I was typical and pushes my brother around even though we bonded a lot but then he died at about 13 years old when I was 15 so that episode just beat the shit out of me with feels
The saddest moment in Futurama that I know of is the one where Fry gets to hug his mom one last time.
yup. that and the nephew one
I cried like a baby
Seymour waiting for years
H O N E S T L Y
I Cried just watching the summary of it in this video
the best part about The End was actually when it first premiered. Farnsworth said they could go back to before he made the device that got then stuck in the first place. they say yes, Episode ends then (because television) the next episode on TV was the very first episode of the show, giving it a whole endless loop thing that the show will never truly end.
Bloody fucking brilliant if this is true.
It is, I remember watching it. The feels hit so damn hard and then immediately doubled when I realized they looped it like that.
I thought that was pretty obvious, wasn't it? But I love their ending
i didnt see that but that is amazingly awesome
That's sounds awesome. :)
I thought his mother's dream was the saddest moment. I really couldn't handle that one.
same here. That is just messed up . who ever wrote that is just sadistic. so sad episode
between that episode and semors those killed my heart
I get it. Seymour's episode was sad. But damn his mother's dream hit me more than the dog did
I agree. I think it's the fact we never saw how his parents felt after he disappeared. It always showed his mom being inattentive, but that proved that she loved and missed him a lot.
same
What makes the one with Fry’s brother even better is that it was Fry family tradition to name the boys Yancy. Fry’s brother missed him so much he broke this tradition. Knowing this, the tears keep coming.
It's weird because I watched the finale when it originally aired, and when they say they're going to go back and do it all again, as soon as they went through, it ended without any credits and the first episode started playing.
It seems that was the intent.
That is phenomenally brilliant. Wish I had caught that.
I remember that, and it confused me for a moment before i realized that it was the first episode again since it was a while since i had seen it xD
That happens almost every time the finale airs.
Joshua Griffin if you think about it that makes sense because they are restarting from the beginning of an endless loop making it possible that all reruns are actually just the timeline repeating itself again adding a hidden meta joke lol
i honestly think that the one with frys mom hit me the hardest
Same
That made me tear up ...
Me to
Same here
Ruby Rose the death of Pyrrha hit me the hardest, why didn't you get to her in time 😭
(In all seriousness though, fry's mother made feels really hard to ignore.)
I'm not crying, *YOU'RE* crying!
TallyHo pretty sure we're ALL crying
TallyHo sniff...no you're crying 😢
All right, who's the wiseguy cutting onions around here?!
TallyHo No u
No you are
The Fry's brothers son got me soooo much
Me too. As a kid and now. I had to go watch the episode before clicking on this.
casklord It was the first of many feels :(
i haven't watched all of futurama, but I was lucky to watch that episode by chance
Thats the saddest one to me in my opinion. Even more than the dog one.
casklord it has to be 1 of the best shows ever and it's so interesting
I cried like a baby in the Jurassic Bark episode. It reminded me how loyal my dog was for 15 years. He was always by my side and I couldn't imagine life without him until he was gone. Just knowing Seymour would never get rewarded for his loyalty kills me. Fry will never how loyal Seymour was which only makes it 10 times worse
Hey I own 2 🐕 and no matter what they are there for me. So I also sobbed a Seymour. I just with they would never grow up so I never lose them.
in benders big score it's revealed a parallel timeline version of fry lived with him and he got fossilized because bender in accidentally coated him in massive amounts of stone
Man. EVERYTIME I see the beginning of that episode where Bender is doing magic, I change the channel. That episode hits me so hard that I had to remember how it starts so I could switch the channel.
he's walking on sunshine now tho man. remember that
I cried literally just reading a synopsis about it in another Top 10 list a minute ago.
I held up my tears, twice, once when Fry saw his mother in her dreams, I almost cried like a baby girl and then when his brother misses him, man you're touching high notes here. This all makes me feel for my family, for my mother who loves me and my brother that I couldn't see my life without.
Actually, I believe the Professor says they won't remember anything which makes it a more emotional ending. I think it's also suppose to suggest they go all the way back to when they first met, episode one.
Amazing show, will always love Futurama!
he says they wont remmenber, you are right
Will we remember anything?
Oh God, no!
Tizzy13 he also calls it "Jurassic park" and "the end" rather than "Jurassic Bark" and "Meanwhile"
i think its right before fry broke the button
Tizzy13 I thought this as well for a long time but you really have to listen to the Professor as it sounds like he's rambling. He says they won't remember anything until the moment before the time remote is conceived, which only brings them back near the beginning of the episode.
But it's still odd, if they truly won't remember they might just do everything again and would be stuck in that loop of that one day.
Unless there's a return of Futurama, and the Professor does indeed remember since he would be the one controlling the remote which seems likely and the most sense. It would be a good twist upon the return of the show....which I hope happens.
Not watching this, purely because I know that the dog is going to be in this vid.
I cant go through that again.
Well spoilers, Seymour was at No.2. The Top Spot went to 'The End'.
MrHeyfuckoff Did you see the Simpsons crossover?
MrHeyfuckoff what is sad about this is thats its based on a true story from china.
vega269 Hachi or something similar right?
yes Hachikō, from japan
The fact that the show is actually a loop in time, is just so perfect
Legit had tears while watching this
Me too.
Ryan Vason me to, way too many feels!
Ryan Vason yeah all those memories came back
Ryan Vason by far my favorite show
same here
I watched Seymour mere days after my dog, Fred died after being in our family for 14 years. That wrecked me.
It was a bit longer after for me, but it just so happened that very year my family went to visit my sister who lived 18 hours away for a few weeks, and we couldn't take our dog. We had our neighbor take care of her while we were gone. When we got back and I went over to my neighbors to get my dog, I learned she had died just a few days before we got back.
so as you can imagine this hit really hard, and still does.
Marcellus oh my god
D: I'm so sorry
lol
how heart wrenching!!
He forgot about the moment Fry had with his dad in the ice fishing house
there is one crucial moment that WC forgot. it was in the string of episodes made into a sort of movie where Leela falls in love with a man named Lars and through a very complex string of time travel paradoxes we learn the Fry was Lars the whole time. Fry went back in time to the moment he was frozen and lives his life back in the past for another few years. not only does he actually get to meet his nephew he also gets to spend more time with Seymour until he passes in an explosion. we get closure with frys past and we get to see paradox Fry/Lars almost achieve his life goal in marrying Leela before the universe corrects the paradox and he dies. By far my favorite Futurama episode(s)
KryosTheAwesome true
all the movies had some really affecting moments
man that is one the most crucial twist plot ever when I seen the movie,where that Lars is actually fry all along,at first when I saw the movie I thought this guy look likes fry with no hair,just beard and he's mide 30s since then that actually is fry, fry must go back his time to spend time with his family and find a job in 21st century,but since then he's change his heart to go back the future and have a chance to love leela,wow just the sad moment and sacrifice.
whats all the more heartwarming is that just before he realizes he is in fact lars, fry lets go of his feelings and accepts the fact that leela is happy even though its with another man. another funny thing is that the chamber he uses to return to the future just so happens to have his ex girlfriend in there and he pays her NO MIND he just wants to get back to leela. pure poetry
KryosTheAwesome that was benders big score with the nude aliens i loved the chrismas rap while there building the weapons
The best part about the final episode is the fact that after it ended, they went and played the very first episode right after it. Such a fantastic way to end a series.
Saw this in recommended
brain: don't click you'll cry
brain: doooon't click
brain: DON'T
well here I am
yeah that was my brain to.
the feels
Me too!
Dem feels
I hurt right here....
How could The Sting not be on the list. You really see that Fry loves Leela.
Fry crying and begging her to wake up.....
Wow...
Too many moments my friend, too many moments. For me it was 'how is Bender's Big Score part 4' not on there?'
I agree, that's my 5th favourite episode.
RIGHT!
I agree with you that was a very emotional part of this series. I remember my son crying over that when it was obvious, to him VERY obvious. At 6 he'd figure out a who done it by connecting the things that were revealed through a movie where based on the scenes he could figure out which way the movie was going to go. Kick ass.
The Sting didn't make the list because there are more than 10 really emotional scenes in Futurama which is a testament to how fucking good that show was.
even this video talking about the saddest episodes made me tear up
Jan Smith Ditto.
I wish they still made videos on youtube without someone talking through the whole thing
Same
For me it was lelas message. That's got me good
Wait, in _The End_ didn’t the professor say they would *lose* their memories from the long life they lived if they went back?
And Seymour. That ending was so unexpected and so sad (and so not necessary to the story) I will never forget the moment I saw it for the first time (it’s been, what, over 15 years 😥)...
You are correct about The End.
I thought the very same thing, that they would lose all memory of what had transpired.
Yeah. Essentially rewinding it back to the very beginning of futurama~
I think the reason why the show managed to get so emotional, sad but also beautiful, is not simply cause of the setting. it's cause while it is brilliantly written and done, it's still a very lighthearted and fun show. So when something actually dramatic or sad happens, it hits you so much harder. The first few seasons of scrubs did something very similar.
That's also why I think a lot of drama shows aren't nearly as powerful, cause it's hard to feel sad during certain moments, when the majority of the show is sad.
A-Freaking-Men brother
you just summed up how I feel about game of thrones and also fresh prince of pel air
in got everything go's wrong and I'm just so so board but with fresh prince when will breaks down because his dad doesn't love him or when will gets shot and Charlton starts carrying a gun but will begs him to get rid of it I just broke down into a million tiny pieces because they came out of nowhere in such a silly show
That seen with WIll ranting about his father wasn't scripted that way. That was just pure emotion from him talking about his actual dad leaving. It's a big part of why that scene was so powerfully sad.
Marinade21 damn
Marinade21 that's all I can say to that really
Does anyone else still have that small amount of faith that the show will comeback somehow?
Robert Lettieri me
Robert Lettieri sorry but nope!
Robert Lettieri #BringFuturamaGloriousAgain
Robert Lettieri yes
I would shit bricks if it came back.
How about the episode where the crew had to go to that space bee hive where when Leela took a space bee that stung Fry.Then Fry died from the sting and Leela kept hallucinating that Fry was alive.Before Leela would go insane,she wakes up to see that she has been I’m a coma for two weeks when the poison of the stinger stuck Leela.We hear from Amy that Fry was beside Leela for every minute in the two weeks she was in her coma
In a different episode fry was in hospital and Leela didn't visit
God this show knew how to fuck with your emotions. You never see it coming
the one that made me sad was the mother and the one to cry is the dog. I didnt like the ending.
+Adrian S.H Luck of the Fryrish didn't get you?
Crazelord91 Whatch Your Lie In April
I know. One minute you're laughing at Benders shenanigans and then your soul is being mashed into a fine paste by some heartbreaking scene.
i know right
I literally almost cried at the end of the Seymore episode. It was so sad.
Kevin Kash shit I did
Kevin Kash me too
i did cry
I WAS 9 WHEN I SAW THAT
THAT SHIT WAS THE SADEST MOMENT ON TV
it's fake yet it always gets to me
Kevin Kash I cried and cried again when the damn video started talking about it
The episode of the dog and now even that song, Always makes me cry 😭
Two honorable mentions should be: "Sting", for the almost disturbingly depressing downward spiral of insanity that Leela goes through and the emotional twist end. As well as "The Why of Fry", for the scene where Fry talks to Nibler before having to decide to freeze himself "What is the cost of one life to save the lives of the whole universe?" "...But it was my life.".
Yeah, Sting was a great episode.
So was "Lars'" sacrifice in Bender's Big Score.
I agree. "Sting" always got to me. When Fry keeps telling Leela to "wake up." I'm always teary eyed after watching that one.
no
Sting was a beautiful episode
I thought Sting would make it. 😭 I would pick that over Inspector #5
For Gods sake! Bring this show back allready !!!
I miss this show so much.
Recht_voor_zijn_raap are you dutch?
The ending was so perfect that I don't think they should bring it back tbh.
If they brought it back it would end up like The Simpsons where the majority of fans just want it to stop
Thomas Uijen No, i am from Germany.
As much as I love Futurama, I think it ended on a high note and it doesn't need to be brought back; it shouldn't become what the Simpsons and Family Guy has become now
This show will make me cry faster than any other. The writing and storytelling is so moving and powerful; I’m so grateful I got to experience this show when I was younger.
Never has a cartoon made me feel so much. My absolute favorites are:
Jurassic Bark
Sting
The Devil's Hands Are Idle Playthings
Bender's Big Score
The Late Phillip J. Fry
Ghost in The Machine
Funny how the episodes that really got me were the ones involving Fry, Bender and the Robot Devil. Lol. Here are some of my favorite moments.
I love, love, the soliloquy Fry gives when he is given the ultimatum of delivering up the robot hands to spare Leela from marrying the Robot Devil.
"Destiny has cheated me, and forced me to decide upon. The woman that idolize and the hands of an automaton."
The jealousy that Bender feels towards Fry when Seymour is about to be resurrected. He sees the pain that Fry feels seeing the fossilized dog sink into the lava and dives in to save it. It's so funny that a machine is possibly the most emotive of all. Even more heart-wrenching is the song that they play as Seymour waits for Fry to come back until he dies (of old age or a broken heart).
The moment when Leela wakes up from the coma because she hears Fry calling out to him. He's been waiting there for days while she was in a coma calling out to her.
It reminds me of an episode of Lost where Desmond's consciousness travels between 1996 and 2004. The episode ends with him realizing that Penny still loves him after 8 years of not talking to her. She is his constant. (Lost Season 4: The Constant). Fry is bound to Leela and Leela is bound to Fry and also, Bender is bound to Fry as well. It's adorable.
What was spectacular was the realization that Fry had when he became Lars. He raced off to her, "I'm coming Leela!"
I'll add to the list that episode where Fry goes into the dreams of his mother. He talks to her in her dreams to give her closure. I'm a momma's boy and so I can identify with what Fry is feeling.
What a great show! Though it's tempting to wish for more episodes since the show is canceled, I don't wish for more. I think that the show did what it should have done in the few episodes that it gave us. I'm a big Simpsons fan, but, even I admit there were some duds. Futurama just consistantly delivered great episodes one after another. I'm also a big Math nerd. So, I appreciate the Physics and Math jokes.
"Oh Bender, there is no such thing as 2."
Fuck! I forgot Inspector 5. God damn. Yes. I totally agree. Good choice for this list.
Your comment wrecked me just a little bit. And biochem person here, no such thing as '2'?
Tim Petzold Binary joke. Robots or machines see only 1s or 0s.
Joseph Willes
The Sting really shoulda been here too. early episode...but... you really saw just how devoted Fry was to Leela. mean... for god's sake, he placed himself between a space bee he knew full well would probably kill him if it stung him if it meant Leela would live. Add to that he literally never left her side almost the entire time she was in a coma. for weeks.
You forgot to mention the episode with benders son and bender sacrificing his sons memorie so he could bend?!
Chimbie97 oh my god I cried during that episode 😭
Not as emotional for me because Bender sold his other son to the Robot Devil. LOL
+Angreh Kittunz "Wow, that was pretty brutal even by my standards!"
Chimbie97 Chimbie97 What about when fry saved everbody at the party in three hundred big boys, or in bender's big score when he realizes he's lars.
Chimbie97 THAT MADE ME CRY
Seymour waiting for fry made me burst into tears
One of my fave tv shows of all time. Shame that it's been cancelled twice because it's not as popular as The Simpsons, which has overstayed its' welcome.
and what pissed me off most about the Simpsons is they never let the kids get older except in special bullshit flash forward episodes, and the fact they kept changing how Homer and Marge met because the damn thing has been on for so long. Futurerama could not have ended more perfect, but damn it should have lasted much much longer.
+Commodorefan64 you either die a hero or live long enough to see yourself become the Simpson's
I think the cancellations and razor thin wire were a perfect thing for Futurama. It encouraged them to try new things and go new places rather than rehashing old ones.
There are about 10 years worth of Futurama, but the fact that this list has moments from both the pre- and post- revival eras shows that they put forth genuine effort.
And hey, at least they GOT an ending.
kyuven maybe so, but with something like the Simpsons getting what is it now 26-27 seasons it just makes me sad and angry, because I think there were still stories to tell in this huge universe. Regardless, I love this series, cancelled or not and if it returns I will welcome it back gladly.
+Commodorefan64 I mean I guess it could of went on for longer but I think by the last season it was starting to show that the series kind of needed to end. I like the show (at least most of the episodes even post ones to a degree.) but I felt like besides a few gems the last season overall was kind of meh to me. I mean the last two episodes were great as they were for a suitable finale I don't know what else they could of done but that's just me.
for me, fry seeing his mother again is my number 1, it makes my eyes bawl every time more than the others
I agree no need 4 me to rewrite it u got it👏👏👏👏👏🍺😭
I never find anyone else who watches Futurama, and if I tell anyone about it, it's dismissed as any other simple cartoon. But it's not. And I thought I was the only one who appreciated it, but I guess I see there are many others who do. This is the only show I've ever gotten emotional about
Futurama is the best fucking show ever made. fuck the bastards that canceled it.
Ever given Scrubs a chance?
Same thing with bojack horseman...
Seriously?! I know SO MANY people who have watched it. I was shocked that my husband hadn't and am jealous he gets to watch it a first time.
You've NEVER found anyone else who watches Futurama? Geez, what's your sample size?
"The final episode, the last moment of the show. Will you leave the audience baffled and underwhelmed?"
*Shows picture of How I Met Your Mother*
Damn, I love HIMYM but so true
Prince Dillard WHY DID TRACEY HAVE TO BE DEAD?!
Lol I hate HIMYM
yeah i will never accept that ending as the true ending. I always look at the alternate ending as the real one. It was just such a let down after such a good show..
Robin Ryder I don't remember alternate ending
Can we all give this man a round of an applause he presented that perfectly and was right with all his decisions well done🙂🙂
Futurama >>>> Simpsons
*I'm walking on sun shine*
Li-Li Mandragon Simpson and Futurama are great but personnaly i prefere Futurama.
Li-Li Mandragon So true.
O-O-O. I'm walking on Sunshine.
YES ! I wish they cancelled Simpsons instead
For me it's at least 10 years that the simpsons are rubish
I haven't watched the video yet, I don't care what anyone says I think the moment when Fry's able to talk to his mom is the most emotional part of all Futurama.
Sean Anthony Omg, the episode where he gets to visit her dream at the end??? That one wrecked me
Sean Anthony you're not wrong. the Seymour moment is a favourite for emotional moments among the people, but you don't fully get the weight of Fry's mother's dream until you've lost someone that close to you. i think it's probably a good thing that so many people overlook it in a way, because that's the sort of pain that you would wish on no one.
Sean Anthony I watched it with my mom and I cried in her arms because I was being an asshole to her for so long so futurama brought me to love my mother a lot more
Sean Anthony Yes...apart from (the) dog.
For me it's just the family ones in general, especially luck of the fryrish
I WAS MAD WHEN THEY TOOK THIS OFF NETFLIX
It's all on hulu!
kaitlynn mb I can’t afford Hulu!
@@VoiDShotzZ I canceled Netflix for Hulu, it's much better.

@@VoiDShotzZ Its 6 bucks, bro.Hell, if I knew you better I'd just give you my account information.
I started to legit tear up with Adam explained that it wasn't Fry's brothers grave but his brothers sons grave.
Fuck. Now I have to go watch all of Futurama again.
FireSpark Thats exactly what I thought 😂
How sad for you ;)
FireSpark yup
dam
yourtube1234567 Netflix
This show will punch you in your feels and your feels will *NOT* recover
After I saw the "Seymour" episode I was still sad like 3 hours after it was over! Saddest cartoon ever!! And that song that plays....not sure what its called but the lyrics said "I'll wait for you"..........I'm gonna go cry now
Seymour & Phillip Fry II were both the most emotional to me
Matty G same 😥
A mother’s dream still tugs at my heart enough to make me shed tears
Jurassic Bark made me bawl my eyes out
the one where he dreams of his mother always gets me
Bastian Martinez correction. Where his mother dreams of him. Remember it is HER dream.
I thought it was messed up that everyone didn’t care that fry was literally trying to remember his mom through the whole thing but trying to find where the jingle was I wanted to yell at them saying “he lost his mother HIS MOTHER!! You’d feel like this too if you’d never see your mother again but all of you can cause there still around and fry doesn’t even know where she’s buried to visit her grave!” I’ve never lost my mother personally but I know for a fact that I’d visit her any chance I get.
I just found out that Futurama premiered on my birthday, just 11 years later. I think it's awesome my favorite show premiered on my birthday.
very underrated show
is it underrated? I liked the show hated the ending. What i hate about people is that they wont watch a tv show if they "think" they wont like it. I say to a person watch doctor who. People say " I dont like the show, because i dont think i like the show" Something similar to that etc
the ending was perfect
The Blue Standard Kareem Abdul jabbar : Michael Jordan = futurama : Simpson
The Blue Standard when people talk about great cartoon series futurama is underrated. c'mon it could be arguably the best cartoon serie ever
The show wasn't underrated, it garnered a lot of critical acclaim. Underrated and not being popular enough are two different things.
Personally, I think it was these emotional elements in Futurama that made the show so good imo. I binge watched the entire 10 season on netflix lol
The show actually had 7 seasons, Netflix split up the last 2 seasons into 4 for some reason.
chwolfe Im almost done. Im at season 8 on netflix.
Queen LeLe Finish it; you will not regret it. Such a good show.
chwolfe Yes Im going to finish it. I remember watching it on tv but I didnt get to see every episode especially since they canceled it.
chwolfe same
WhatCulture, you did an amazing job on this list and such memorable moments in Futurama. It is my favorite show and I can remember every little detail from the points that you described. You scored them perfectly and I will say, great job and good video
-Dakota, Minnesota U.S.A
this list better include the episode where fry's nephew takes his name. and the episode where Leela and fry are the only ones not frozen in time.
Thank you.
Ayo alpaca before the video and after the video comments? lol cool
Something I realized after the first couple seasons is that the underlying theme of the series is love. Watch virtually any episode from the beginning on and it's thematically about love. Romantic, platonic, and familial. Often the pursuit of love or lost love. Episode one begins with a very lonely and despondent Fry inadvertently waking up 1,000 years into the future, then saving the lives of Leela and Bender by giving them something better than what they had before, a kind of friendship they hadn't known.
Futurama >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> than pretty much any other adult animated show, and is sure in the running for being one of the best comedy series.
Stench And Stench ability made me cry. Just before Mary Ann 's surgery, Zoiberg asks for one last kiss, and at the end. It was nice to see him happy.
It should have been #1
Vincent Franklin Me too! Zoidberg finding happiness really touched me. Like they said in the video, it's another way you knew the show was coming to a true end. I'm glad they didn't forget about Zoidberg and allowed him his happiness.
bgb0411 Zoidberg is one of my favorite characters on Futurama. He kept getting dumped on, yet, he still remained a nice guy. That's why I cried. I forget the episode where Professor Farnsworth has a disease that changes him into a yeti, but that got me , too. Zoidberg saves him because he and the Proff are real friends.
The yeti episode totally got to me, too! He put himself at risk to save the professor! He's one of my favorite characters as well. It's inspiring how he can be consistently ripped on and knocked down by life and yet remain so kind and humble. If anyone deserved a happy ending, it was him
bgb0411 Totally agree!
This was actually a good video. Also THE DOG SHOULD HAVE BEEN NUMBER 1. IT WAS THE FUCKING SADDEST AND YOU KNOW IT.
THEY KNOW IT !!!
Actually in the movie "Bender's Big Score" it is explained that after Leela fell in love with another guy, Fry went back in time a few years after his disappearance and resumed his old life. He got to meet his nephew and rented the apartment upstairs Panucci's and lived there about 12 years and all this time the dog was actually living with Fry, but staying outside the pizza place.
So... less sad
mrcoolyandoporlavida yep, and the twist to that was that Fry became the other guy Lars Fillmore that Leela fell in love with after an apartment fire burned his hair off and damaged his larynx, and he realized that he was Lars all along.
TrippyApollo 4859 also in the Simpsons futurama crossover Seymour is seen waiting outside the pub
TrippyApollo 4859 Hey Fry Old Buddy It's Me Bender.
Jurassic Bark was indeed sad, but you forgot that in some point in the serie Seymor's life became less sad when Fry accidentally created a time paradox clone using the time traveling code in his tattoo ass and the clone decided to stay in the year 2000 to avoid causing more harm to the galaxy, living the events Fry missed during his hybernation
Time code...oh geez!!! What about the Lars episode!!! Almost forgot about that
@@TomEbbsjamasteroids the Lars episode is the time code. Same one
Yeah, but that happened waaay after Jurassic Bark aired.

game of tones was the saddest to me
Daniel Crecca same
Agreed
Daniel Crecca yeah same
Jurassic Bark was the saddest to me
I was surprised how emotionally I reacted the first time I saw "The Luck of the Fryish." Crushing.
Some missing moments:
A Farewell to Arms: Fry is willing to stay on a doomed Earth to let Leela escape.
Calculon 2.0: Calculon's speech about how the world's moved on without him.
Near-Death Wish: Farnsworth and his parents.
The Mutants Are Revolting: Mr. Astor's story.
The Sting: Fry's death, Leela's attempted suicide, Fry begging Leela to wake up in the hospital.
Bendless Love: Bender accepts that Angeline loves Flexo, and helps him out from an "unbendable" girder.
The Sting really should be on this list
Damn I forgot about the Calculon episode! The Romeo and Juliet monologue from that episode was amazing too!
Fraxlevein Another honorable mention should be the time Fry had the brain worms that made him smart and Lela fell for the smart talented version of Fry but had to give that up to save him
And when Fry got the cold and had flashbacks of hid father
TC Chong that was the most emotional episode, Fry sounded so heartbroken when begging Leela to wake up
This show is way better than The Simpsons.
true, the concept was great and charactherization was really really well developed. Simpsons tend to feel a little stale and underdeveloped in comparison
Fry going into his moms memory always makes me shed a tear he misses him mother which makes fru back story even more lonely 😢
The luck of the Fryish is the most beautiful piece of animation that's ever been made.
I agree! This is my all time favorite episode
That and the episode "Heart of Ice" from Batman "The Animated Series".
Jerome Fuerte yay somone agrees with me
Jerome Fuerte Absolutely
And this is why Futurama is my favourite TV show. Most emotional for me was Leela's message in "The Late Phillip J. Fry". Especially as Fry reads it in Leela's voice. I don't think any other show could have this kind of potential. A good successor is Rick and Morty with about 4-5 heart wrenching moments (thus far), along with the humour being incredibly smart.
dvdreviewsstudios i recommend you to watch bojack horseman , those moments are ENDLESS there
I've been meaning to check that show out. Thanks for the recommendation! :D
+Rami Cherri BoJack is a good horsie.
Wubba lubba dub dub!
I wish I'd seen this from beginning to end when i was older and could appreciate the heavy themes. But I don't regret having grown up with it either. The episode where they go millions of years in the future and watch the end of the universe made my cry so hard when I was like 17.
Seymour and the ending episode will forever make me cry like a child!!
Despite its comedic undertones the episode where Bender was the Metal Lord to the tiny people who landed on him while he was drifting through space was pretty sad even though he and Fry where reunited and all was resolved by episodes end.
"parasites lost" is easily one of the saddest episodes in the series. I LOVE this show, glad you made this.
I still don't understand why they cancelled this show. This will forever be ahead of family guy
Sarah Walter They ended it so it wouldn't get dragged out forever like the Simpsons
At least Matt Groening wants to bring it back (You can see in one of the recent episodes of The Simpsons "Bring back Futurama. Again."
I don't know if they could, though. The ending tied up pretty much all of the loose ends and gently let the show go to rest. If they brought it back, it might feel forced. Though maybe they could get a new cast of characters and tell a different story.
you know its back?
Uncleargaming What the fuck when did this happen please explain
Nicely done! You picked all of my favorites... Seymour, Yancy, so many wonderful moments between Fry & Leela. It, my all time favorite is "Leela's Homeworld". You have to have a heart made of stone and no soul, not to tear up at the ending! So sweet. So heartwarming. I tear up every time. Lol!
Aaaaahhhhh I'm so glad you chose what you chose as the #1. The final episode isn't just sad because it's emotional in itself, but also because it's probably the perfect ending to a show like Futurama. It doesn't leave itself completely unable to come back, but it totally finishes a decades-old storyline in the most complete way possible.
Best list I've ever seen. You guys nailed it. Thank you.
FungiRy91 Exactly dude.
i legit cryed like a bitch during all of these episodes
yup and i aint afraid to admit it either
So did I. Especially with Seymour sitting and waiting for fry and seeing the way they made the entire final episode iconic and sad at the same time.
i only cired in jurassic bark
damn it,I'm really sad the jurassic bark I cried too when Seymour waiting for fry to return,goddammit I cried that episode.
Vicent Serrano Me too.
I go back to this video every time I need a good cry, to let out sadness and pain that linger in me. So thank you to whoever wrote this list years ago. Thank you.
Jurassic Bark is number 1 I'm calling it
Dammit, Adam even called me out.
fuck adam. He doesnt know what real tears. The end was just lazyish.
Adrian S.H I respect your opinion, but NEVER INSULT OUR BEAUTIFUL ADAM
nah the Yancy episode always tears me up and jurassic bark just is painful to watch
I don't think the end was lazy, it was a finale. When you're forced to have a finale, you have to scrap all the other ideas you had and work to a stupidly tight deadline to get out something that seems like a satisfactory closing and summary of the entire show.
I watched the episode for the first time just now. It was definitely in the top 10% of Futurama episodes.
the episode called "The Sting" was really sad to me, idk about anyone else. Where Leela was in a coma and fry never left her side even though all hope was nearly lost and the odds of her waking up were very low
Haley Riding in And Fry begging Leela to wake up, crying. That got to me
Haley Riding in year that one should have been included
honestly that end is one of the, if not tied with the best endings of all time, it was so perfect, fit the show, had the right about of meta, and wrapped it all up with a bow!
*_Futurama: WHAT A SHOW_*
People always tell me that I'm wrong for thinking Futurama is better then Family Guy. This list can prove them wrong
You really shouldn't need this list to be able to prove that.
Either you're bad at debating with people or you only associate with lunatics. :p Family Guy was only good for the first two seasons and then went to complete shit. Futurama got cancelled by idiots not once but twice before it's completion and is revered for 99% of it's episodes. (Basically there are 3 most people agree aren't good. Leela of Her Own, That's Lobstertainment, and In-A-Gadda-Da-Leela)
I don't think you can compare the two. American Dad and Family Guy, yes. But Futurama stands alone in quality of humor and complexity of plot. I watch nothing but American Dad and Family Guy and Futurama, throw in some Archer, South Park, Squidbillies and Bob's Burgers. Cartoons rule.
Sarah Tebbs Family guy is a shadow of its former self.
Sarah Tebbs dudes futurama and family guy got cancelled twice

People saying that Futurama cancellation is good because they fear that the show can turn into the Simpsons.. c'mon.. They have the entire universe, the power to move across timeline to give us so many good episodes with many ideas. I think, seriously, that futurama can still be fresh up to a season 15 at the very least. That is what trigger me most about the cancellation of this amazing show. The potential for new ideas was huge compared to another sitcoms, and it was cancelled too soon. Everytime I hear something from Futurama it's makes me sad because of that. Futurama was one of a kind trully.
I'd love it if they maybe did another movie or two. Just to not spoil the finale.
Futurama has more potential than the simpsons, but after awhile there was a lot of flanderization and more episodes about robots than exploring new planets/alien cultures etc. I'd be all for it if there was an influx of good writing, but the characters started to flatten out after awhile so I'm cool with it. great show though.
Well, the Simpsons were also good the first let's say 10 seasons.
But Futurama has always been more ironic, critical, sarcastic, ... than the Simpsons.
Nikioko Definitely not! Simpson’s was AMAZING for the first 15 seasons. Simpson’s was always better than Futurama.
@mrgladbeastftw I completely agree, and Ive been saying that same thing for years. Futurama bowed out as gracefully as a show could ever hope to do and kept its dignity intact. I would hate to see it come back and soil its own name. Lets let sleeping dogs lie in this case and be grateful we as fans got the ending we all deserved.
I couldnt stop crying at this video

Why was "Game of Tones" not at the top of the list? That episode had me in tears by the end.
tacoman2.147 Game of Tones shits on Jurassic Bark when it comes to the feels.
When I first saw Jurassic Bark on tv, I cried at the end. I mean how could you not?!
The symphony Fry creates for Leela with the instrument sounded so dreamlike. I’ve never heard anything so ethereal.

Man I remember being a little kid when the dog episode aired😭 I remember me and my dad crying at that ending😭 sadist moment in a cartoon
the lars bit from bender's big score made me super sad and was my favorite moment in the show.
