8:25 I assume the United States took over the earth at some point, somehow, and that's why the President of Earth is considered the same office as the US president. After all, the president still lives in the White house and the flag is just the US flag with the earth instead of 50 stars.
The Jesse Ventura joke was that when he was a wrestler, his nickname was Jesse "The Body" Ventura. Now that he's just a head, he's instead Jesse "The Head" Ventura.
The Ford joke is great because other vice-presidents may have stepped in when a president died, but they had all been on the ticket running as the veep. Ford was the warm body who replaced Agnew, Nixon's original vice-president.
Interesting. I never cared much for politics, nor cared enough about history to pay much attention, nor retain much of what I learned during social studies classes in school. So I never got that joke before. But now I do, in that I assume the joke is that Ford doesn't consider voting very integral to the process because he just kind of had the position fall into his lap.
The voice actor for Fry is the same one for Nixon and the more hilarious thing is Nixon actually drafted the voice actor during the Vietnam War but was medically incapable of enlistment 😂
I love all the recording jokes. Nixon recorded everything-then it got him in trouble! I was born around the Watergate era. So, I’m too young to remember his presidency. But my dad hated Nixon, and I grew up hearing all about it. When I was two, he taught me to say, “Nixon, yuck!”
i got a laugh when the political candidates in year 3000 had respect for each other. These writers predict a lot of things but they were way off on that one lol
-I like the continuity of making elections after the president of earth is killed by omicronians several episodes ago. -If it isn't obvious , Matt Groening really Hates Richard Nixon...Both The Simpsons and Futurama make jokes about Nixon being a Bad president. -Fun Fact: They made a 3D model of Planet Express for the Bender Driving Scene.
Voting is obligatory in belgium. everyone gets an invite with details in which voting office they'll need to be. it's always in the weekend, and the offices are organised in every village, and multiple in cities (1 per a certain amouny of people, i think)
I guess we can do the handshake meme of Futurama and Watchmen in 'giving Nixon more terms' Indeed, former pro wrestler Jesse 'The Body' Ventura was a governor of Minnesota for a while
With Futurama coming back on the air with new episodes next year, I’m predicting there will be an episode where Trump’s head runs for President of the world so the Futurama cast team up with Nixon to make sure that doesn’t happen.
@@unforeseeable2.058 Yup. For 20 new episodes on Hulu. Everyone is set to return. However John DiMaggio is holding out due to some disagreements on negotiations with pay. There’s more info online.
Anytime someone complains about a politics Ill ask if they voted, if not then I stop caring about their opinion on the subject. If you can't spend the small amount of time to participate in the system you give me no reason to listen you complain about the system.
I feel so bad for you Eric. First with the Slurm Factory episode and now this. Trust me, Futurama gets way better than this if you get through the not so savoury parts. Also, yes. I totally forgot about Fry’s vaccination comment and it aged like spoiled milk. That’s a big yikes.
Best of luck to you sorry I cannot deal with Futurama anymore the a-hole claiming that he needs more money whenever he's already become extremely wealthy because of Futurama is pissing me off too much to enjoy the product. Leaving this comment and leaving a like on the video best of luck
I vote conservative because I'm not a racist, and because I believe society should have basic moral standards for its citizens. I also believe that people should be rewarded for hard work, not laziness. I'm also a proponent of free speech.
Well I love your reactions but as an outsider for USA I am laughing my as off at your opinion on Trump. Because it seems trump is thousand times better than Biden. And to be honest if you love america trump is actually better than Obama too. He's the only one who focus on USA. 😏😏😏

"I'll go into people's houses at night at wreck up the place!" I love Nixon in this show lmao
Describe this episode in one word: “Arrroooooo!”

I always liked that joke on how all the robots just need one second to vote.
I love how Nixon still has Secret Service agents on duty, despite having the giant mech body. 😄
Keen eyed people would notice Grover Cleveland has two heads on the shelf
Lmao that “non vaccinated” line hits different these days 😂😂😂😳

Joke’s on Nixon, he broke his own house.

I don't think anyone could predict just how much of a circus politics would become in the Internet era
@@darko1295 They were always like this, it just wasnt televised. President Johnson used to whip his cock out as a power move in meetings.
It's probably not a good sign when a politician has a maniacal laugh...
I'm active in politics, and have a great evil laugh, oh and a moustache for twirling.

Voring office!?!?
I would assume this is a typo, but what with the furry profile pic and everything, I'm not so sure...
Hey! Remember the Time when we thought Nixon was the worst President in modern history? ... Yeah, Good times .. Good .. Times.
This aged too well.
I would have voted for John Jackson.
What? How can you not see that Jack Johnson is clearly the better choice.
But what about a third party? Maybe Jack Jackson or John Johnson.
I'd vote for the brain slug party. IF they keep their promise.
But his 3 cent titanium tax doesn’t go too far enough!
Yes he is a recurring character.
"Arrroooooo!"
LOL at least it's not trump 🤣 so true.

8:42 Change robots with Illegal Immigrants and yes
i wonder what will come first Eric reacting to the last episode or them releasing the new season there making
I look foward to these .
are you forgetting bender is a robot....
With Futurama coming back on the air with new episodes next year, I’m predicting there will be an episode where Trump’s head runs for President of the world so the Futurama cast team up with Nixon to make sure that doesn’t happen.
Wait what? They’re renewing it?

I was hoping Jack Johnson would win :( That guy has ideas!
Which Jackson?
happy bday angel
The presidential term is still four years
As a European i love voting, but in the US i probably wouldnt its not changing anything. It literally doesnt matter.
it matters in local elections. not the presidential though. and local elections have far more impact on people's lives usually
It matters that kind of cynicism is why people like Trump win.
7:39 yes its great his funny
How is this legal.

Also, yes. I totally forgot about Fry’s vaccination comment and it aged like spoiled milk. That’s a big yikes.
In fairness to the show, it's completely in character for Fry to be unvaccinated.
Bad takes all around
what are you talking about, this is one of my favorite episodes. and fry's vaccination comment aged like fine wine

How are things not terrible now with Sleepy Joe in office?
Hey troll!
Still a step up from the last guy
