Futurama is the show where you come for the laughs, and stay for the feels.
Beni Habibi yea the Jurassic bark gets me every time :,(
Amen to that brother
So Bojack Horseman?
so true what a sad show and a funny and happy time
RIP Seymour
Realizing the nephew could probably have done literally anything in the world with the power that clover gave him, and he used it to honor Fry by carrying out his dream is also tear-worthy.
Oh my god😭 that is so beautiful.
Yeah, even tho we never knew his character, his nephew was amazing...😭😭😭
He was everything his uncle ever wanted to be...if you think about it, he's a big reason the future was the way it was when the Fry we knew got there. If it wasn't for his nephew, Fry wouldn't have unfrozen in the same future, if there was a future for him to come back to
Thanks man....
Now I'm crying again, the babys crying, and now the dogs going
He could have use the clover to find fry if he really miss him.
He is exactly as the other time we have seen him, a piece of shit
"And since when is he a 'THE'?" "You're twice the 'THE' he ever was"
A true friend will always back you up, no matter how little sense you're making!
We all need a friend like bender
@@misfitgaming2935 we really do.
@Arthur Flowers well yeah but he is also the guy who would sell his soul to the literal devil just to pay you back, or conquer the world so that you could finally get a girlfriend
Complete with Windows XP noise right before!
@@gamerplays5131 Ah so a double edged sword
It hits even harder when you realise that Yancy broke the family tradition by naming his son after his brother.
What was the family tradition again?
@@Lvlaple4Ever naming the first born son in the male line “Yancy”.
man, this shi hurts
Yancy simply began a new tradition.
To be fair, Yancy is sort of a dumb name
The line “I love you Philip, and I always will” always hits me right in the gut cause you know it isn’t just his son he’s talking about.
True that
It’s so sad how much he misses his little brother
Just makes you think how stupid they were when they actually tried to find him and he was in the cryogenics lab the whole time. If they had been paying more attention to Seymour with him pointing out exactly which cryo chamber Fry was in, then he wouldn’t have spend thousands of years frozen.
@@spenserfarman3045 Though things worked out well for all of them that he did. Life doesn't always take the path we plan, but that doesn't make the path we go on less important.
@@spenserfarman3045 wouldn't have mattered if they found him, they currently don't know how to bring somebody back after they've been frozen in 2020 much less when this series premiered.
So Fry was frozen in a time where he truly felt that no one would really miss him. He was very wrong. His mother, father, girlfriend, brother and even his dog all missed him dearly. His absence was a painful one. It makes you think about what would probably happen if you disappeared.
This show is so deep on so many levels it's amazing
+Arthur Rubio the episode with his dog broke my heart, all that waiting ultimately for naught, so bloody sad.
his girlfriend didn't miss him much, though; after she got un-frozen in new new york, she ended up leaving fry again.
Michelle was a bad person
true true
Philip J. Fry is such a tragic character. He always thought that no one will miss him once his gone but little he did know, his whole family including his dogs misses him and they felt empty without him. Such a well written character.
Yes indeed. I may always talk about how many nephews and nieces I have, but I love every one of them.
One of the final episodes was great showing that his mom did also really care actually the cold warriors episode showed his father did as well. They really did a great job with his family
It mirrors reality. When my dad was old he always said he never had any friends, tho at his wake and funeral the turnout was huge and the people were recounting stories about their good times with my Dad.
Nibbler violates every natural fucking law there is just to give Fry a few minutes with his mother
@@ryanmiller3005 but tell me you didn’t absolutely love that moment
I like how Yancy’s wife supports him naming their son after Philip.
Best part is that the long time family tradition was to name your first born Yancy yet Fry's brother broked it because his love for him was much more important than any tradition.
Sigmund Falkner because the woman gets half the day if not all of it
@Sigmund Falkner she could have had a family name imprtant to her too. But she didn't offer up any alternatives, because she knew how much it meant to him. Yancy must have talked about him all the time...
@@51dodoc actually Fry broke it, by becoming his own grandfather. His dad explains to yancy that his name was passed from his dads dad to his dad and now down to him implying that fry's dad was named something else since edus didn't name him and rather fry's grandmother did
@@gideonjones5712 A missing brother is a tough one to beat...
That's the real tragedy of Futurama imo. In literally the first episode, after Fry realizes that everyone he ever knew, including his family, are long dead, he cheers. But, as the series progresses, one by one, we find out just how much of an impact was left on his family (and Seymour) when Fry went missing and we learn just how much his family cared for him. Yancy, the brother he constantly rivaled with, had been so distraught over the loss of his brother, that he named his own son after him to honor and carry on his spirit. Seymour, the dog he had believed would have eventually forgotten about him had in reality never did, and waited an eternity for his friend to return until he died of age, etc.
He didn't rival his brother. His brother constantly abused him. His mother was neglectful. His father belittled and insulted him. Seymour was the only one who loved him with no baggage.
They only "care" because he's gone. Even then it was revealed that his parents literally stopped the police from search before they could even start. How is that love?
@@RJLiams One should never attribute to malice what can be adequately explained by ignorance. I get the feeling that much like Fry himself, his family is a bit on the dim side.
When Seymour was in the Cryo-Facility pawing at Fry's cryochamber, Fry's family literally came in and took him away while telling Seymour to lead them to Fry. They wanted to find him but were too unaware to realize Seymour had already found Fry.
Given though, this may simply be a shift over time on the series, as perhaps the team behind Futurama realized how callous they made Fry's family appear and they wanted to shift that. It worked as a joke at the start of the series to soften the impact of Fry losing his past life, but as the series continued it probably seemed like a narrative mistake to create a message that if your life is awful enough, it's okay if everything you know is taken away.
well it's a good thing he/his time clone travelled back in time to spend a few more years with them.
That episode where he gets to be in his moms dream was sad. Are there any scenes or episodes centered in his dad's emotions after he left?
I guess one way to look at it was Fry remembered his life worse than it originally was.
Aww, Fry’s brother never stole Fry’s dreams, he passed them on to his own offspring. That really is pretty touching.
So really, Fry’s ex was the only one in his life who truly didn’t care about him. Fry is a living example of how one person can have an affect on so many.
What about his father?
@@Diego-vq8et the episode cold warrior/ice warrior (could be completely wrong about the name) shows that he definitely cared about fry
He cared about fry in the ice warrior episodes
@@firedneavada belittling your child in public is not caring. His father is the typical abuser. Claims they're doing it for the child's benefit when in actuality he just wants to belittle a child.
@@RJLiams im not saying he's perfect, he seems to be a bad dad. But he does care for him. Relationships are more 3d than just he's toxic means he doesn't care
I love how Fry never realised how much he was being loved until everyone died
Alperen 0485
He wasn't far off really. Many examples of Fry's disappearance were shown in other episodes
Such as his girlfriend telling him "The police were going to conduct a search, but your parents said it was a waste of taxpayer money"
Because his family never loved him.
It was the other way around. I don't think his loved ones loved him as much as when he dissapeared because they realised they'd never see him again.
@@RJLiams no they loved him deeply just never showed it in a traditional way they didn't conduct the search because they wanted to look for themselves
Imposter
I like to believe that if Fry ever had a son, he’d call him Yancy, to keep his families tradition alive, and also to commemorate his brother
That would be a great callback
He did have a son, his dad is his son remember? xD
@@PoemsRunAground haha i forgot about that XD
I think his dad is called Yancy!
@@PoemsRunAground I seem to remember His dad once said it’s tradition for the family to name their first born Yancy as he was named Yancy as well.
You don’t think Fry started this?
Love the crayon drawing labeled "Philip Fry, Age 20"
So simple, yet it's very telling of who Fry was as a person. I love it too
name also how much yancee misses him
oh. well you would have loved my drawings when i was 20!
It took me a minute to get that hahaha I had to pause the video. I thought it was a picture he draw when he was younger, but nope
That is something I never really considered, though given that he dreamed of being an astronaut, it could also be interpreted as kid Fry making a drawing about where he believed he'd be at age 20.
I love how supportive the wife was when it came to naming the baby.
yeah that won't ever happen again not in this day and age !
@@dandan7111 yeah back in the good old days wives would be beaten if dinner was 37 seconds late, *so* wish we could go back to that time
@@SiamHossain7 the fuck?
@@SiamHossain7 If that’s what you think about all marriages back then it’s sad
@@jayst9270 Actually spousal abuse was extremely common back then. Mainly because there were no laws to punish the husband for what he did.
It is sad that marriages were quite abusive back then.
What’s underrated is the fact that being named after his uncle made it on the tombstone. It was generations later and they were still honoring him, mourning the loss of a man they never met. That’s how highly Yancy talked about Fry, ultimate testament to how much he truly loved him.
It shows the volumes of how much respect Yancy put on Phillip Fry himself. As much as Fry may have been bitter at him for things over the years, he still cared about him enough to do right by him when he vanished and at least tell his son the stories he had of Phillip.
@@GreatMewtwoalso shows the character of his nephew, pursuing the dreams for an uncle he never met
Leela turned out to be right... Yancy Jr loved his brother, he just never got the opportunity to express it properly before Phillip got frozen.
@@TsukabuNosoratori2which is great because Fry always hoped that
This is literally Fry’s nephew. It’s one generation behind Fry you moron hahahahaha
I love Futurama, at the beginning of the series it showed Fry as a talent-less loser with nothing going for him. He had no skills, he was dumped by his girlfriend, and his family didn't really care for him. Luck of the Fryish shows that Fry wasn't a total loser and that his family did give a damn about him.
I agree
+Ulquiorra Cifer Don't forget Game of Tones with his mother... Only person we never got to see care was his dad...
What about the ending of Cold Warriors?
malcolmmorin I completely forgot about that episode... Thanks for reminding me.
+Valen Warden the one with his mother killed me!!!! i literally was seeing blurry because of all the tears :''(
The thing about this episode was it a serious 180 kick to the feels. The whole episode was about Fry being angry at his brother for stealing everything, and he though he literally stole his name and his life. He even wanted to rob what he thought was his brothers grave to take back his clover. As soon as he saw the rest of the inscription, it all became clear that Phillip Fry was his nephew back in 2000. It flipped the whole script on its head, and all of Fry's previous anger was completely misguided, and the viewers' opinion of Yancy would seriously change.
This was midway through Season 3, and Futurama had never had anything on this emotional level before (Jurassic Bark came after) so this was a serious shock the way it was written
Hmm? You have a good point.
Exactly, that's why this episode resonates with me more than all other Fry's family episodes, it was the very first with that big emotional spin.
Not only that but up until this point his brother was portrayed as a spiteful little asshole. And I think even after this episode we never see Yancy as a really bad person. Maybe some sibling argument but nothing on the level of theft.
I think Leela's Homeworld was really good in a similar way. Leela found her parents but they let her think they killed her alien parents and she was prepared to kill what she had wanted her whole life. Fry stopped her and they thought she'd be angry when it was the happiest moment of her life. Then we see how her parents were always taking care of her despite feeling like she was alone her whole life. That episode is really touching but doesn't seem as remembered as this one or Jurassic Bark
@@bellagab3 defs a good episode as well, I think it's more just we relate to Fry's situation cause it isn't wrapped up in alien/mutant/future circumstances and is something he can never fix whereas Leela still gets to mend her relationship with her parents
With writing like this, I still can't wrap my head around why Fox purposely sabotaged Futurama's run and cancelled it.
futurama was extremely expensive to make and run from day 1. that's why it was canceled
+Benjamin Parsons that and Fox still seem to think The Simpsons is still a good show despite the fact it's been poorly written and unfunny for over 15 years. If anything Futurama should have replaced it.
Matt Thornton funny you say that, because I still adore the Simpsons, and being way more iconic than any animated show on TV I think it's deserved of its long run. As for content, eh 15 years is pushing it. I stopped buying the seasons after 21 because that's when I felt it had lost its luster.
+Matt “Spider-Matt” Thornton When Fox got The Simpsons, they were in a bad place, so they gave Matt Groening creative control. When they got Futurama, Fox were in a much better place and so, never had to agree to give creative control to anyone anymore. However, Matt demanded creative control of Futurama and got into a bitter battle with Fox, eventually winning, but Fox seemingly mistreated the show badly in an attempt to get Matt to give them creative control. Fox didn't like the concept of suicide booths and Bender, thinking they were too dark and Bender's anti-social personality would be off-putting for viewers. They also didn't like Dr. Zoidberg and a few other things.
+Matt “Spider-Matt” Thornton That's what Fox does. Only one show per decade gets a long run on that network.
Another thing to consider is Fry’s family lived the rest of their lives without knowing what happened to him, they most likely thought he got into trouble/was murdered/possible suicide they have no idea how impactful Fry was going to be on the universe, they’ve no idea of the life he lead and how much happiness he experienced. When Yancy found the clover in the record vault maybe the last shred of hope he had that Fry was okay somewhere, died when he realized hat Fry was somewhere without luck.
That's sad🙁
This is beautiful. Wow.
Good. let horrid people feel shame, guilt, and regret. They're all horrible people.
@@RJLiams the only horrid person here is you
@@RJLiams They weren't horrible people. Selfish, maybe, and definitely flawed, especially in showing someone that they care, but overall not horrible.
As someone who fought with my brother constantly and he died in a car crash when I was 14 this episode always makes me cry
I'm sorry you had to deal with that
So sorry for your loss
Dude…I’m so sorry. I couldn’t imagine losing my little brother.
I don't even have a brother
Your brother is in a better place your brother loved Jesus now he's with Jesus
I'll never forget the first time I saw this episode. I was crying so much. Especially when "Don't You Forget About Me" started playing.

Can’t agree anymore, I have loved this song ever since this episode
Darkstar263 omfg I just realized the deeper meaning behind that song in this episode X*O here I thought it was just due to the breakfast club thing.... YOU MADE THIS ENDING MORE SAD FOR ME DAMNIT!!!
i started laughing
Dude, my father gave that season on DVD when I was around 13. I've never watched Futurama before. Started watching every episode. And this one...wooooow just broke me. By far, my favorite episode.
As someone named after their Uncle who vanished like Fry, this brought so many tears to my eye. I hope one day my uncle will be proud of me, even though he's gone
I'm very sorry about that, hope you guys find closure.
I know I sound stupid when I say this but jesus christ homie
So when do you have mission to Mars?
Aigh m8 don't worry your uncle ain't dead he's chillin with a robot and a cyclop
@Guacamole Nigga Penis Touching words from Guacamole Nigga Penis
The real tragedy of this is that Yancy never got to tell his little brother in person how much he actually loved and cared about him :'(
Well what about Lars?
Remember that Fry's family has a long standing tradition of naming their firstborn son Yancy. That's why his older brother was jealous of his name. It makes it even sadder when you realize Yancy chose to forego tradition and named his son Fry after his brother.
I didnt even notice that thanks for pointing it out friend 👍
he named him phillip not fry. fry is the surname
"Here lies Fry J. Fry.
Named for his uncle.
To carry on his Fry."
Nah just messing, we know what you meant ;)
But there’s a glitch there. His “grandfather” was named Enis! And his “dad” said the tradition went back to minuteman yancy fry who blasted commies in the revolutionary war.
@@JABoyle3875 That being said... if you rewatch "Luck of the Fryish", notice that Yancy Snr. does not point to his sons' grandfather being named "Yancy" as well; the attention to detail in this show is STAGGERING.
Hell, you know there are people who claim that the initial airings of the first episode didn't have Nibbler's shadow, yet none of them can prove it? Surely someone would have filmed it back when... more to the point, it's a good indicator about the details we do and do NOT pay attention to, as everyone is so invested in what's happening to FRY at that moment that the second-long cut to Nibbler's shadow (hinting at the reveals regarding him and Fry) is really REALLY easy to miss. But it shows how much thought and love Groening and co. put into the overarching story thread, something the show didn't NEED yet was a sweet detail to give it more nuance and depth. I admire when a creator can pull off such a misdirect, because you can't go back and claim it was NOT there yet on a first viewing, you completely don't notice.
The second saddest ending in Futurama.

It's a very memorable one, Futurama is full of those episodes that no matter what you do, you can't forget, like the "bee episode".

Honestly this is one of the best and long reaching messages of the show: It doesn't matter if you are a screw up, a mutant, a defunctional robot, a student who can't graduate, or a lobster alien, as long as you have your family, whatever that may look like, you matter.
That's lovely. Thank you Groening and Cohen for making this show
Saddest endings
3. this ending
2. his mothers dream ending
1. the dog ending

I would say this is actually a very happy ending to know someone cared enough to carry on your spirit

Time to cut onions after watching all of these
despite having a cast made up of mutants, robots, aliens and the occasional eldritch abomination, this show has a lot of humanity to it.

Frys situation was the original interstellar. He lost contact with his former life when seemingly an instant went by and now these small scattered messages echoed through Eons and generations is all he has left.

What amazes me is how Leela, the usual voice of reason, went along with Fry this whole episode. From scouring his house in Old New York to robbing his nephew's grave, Leela just took a back seat on this adventure.
Without a familly of her own she was probzbly unable to solve it by herself and took a back seat as you said
She did try and reason with him but figured in the end just go with a support for her friend
@@ddthewolf It's also worth noting that in the episode, the picture that Fry paints of Yancy is not entirely wrong either, so she might've gone along with it on support, in case Fry never found the clover, or if it led to a dead end. After all, at the end she gives Fry some space, and seems to know that he'll do the right thing.
I noticed that too! I loved that detail about this episode! On top of that, Leela was the one that recognize that Fry was having an emotional moment and to leave him alone for a bit.
She didn't know how a family relationship works so she probably thought it was normal
A lesson to be learned here. Fry didn't think anyone would miss him if he was gone, but he was very wrong. Multiple people he thought wouldn't care, did in fact miss him very much.
Don't kill yourself, folks. You never know who's going to be devastated when you're gone. The depressed mind clouds your sight.

it was always stuff like this that always made me think Futurama was well ahead of the simpsons in writing.
The Simpsons is just money-maker tool now. That's really disappointing. I hope they end it soon. It's been on air for too long.
Classic Simpsons has stuff like this too. If you want to bawl your eyes out, I suggest episodes such as 'Mother Simpson' (that episode was the first time I cried over a cartoon show, and it still manages to make me cry), 'And Maggie Makes Three', 'Marge Be Not Proud', 'Bart Gets an F', etc. It's no wonder that both Futurama and the Simpsons were written by Matt Groening. But I completely agree: the Simpsons is a mess now and they should cancel it. It hasn't been good in 17 years.
Oh this Maggie makes Three episode. This one should be shown more often. Also, dont forget Lisa's First Word; that ending sequence is such a tearjerker.
both created and written by Matt Groaning.
It matched the best of the simpsons (maybe just slightly behind because the futuristic setting allowed more freedom). It well exceeds the newer episodes (from like 2000 onwards.)
Can we appreciate that Fry’s child drawing of space above his nephew’s crib said “AGE 20” 😂😂😂😂.
It meant that he thought he would be there at the age of 20, not that he drew it at age 20. Technically, the drawing isn’t wrong, as he is basically flying in rocket ships at that age.

@@cheekymonkey7942 no, it doesn’t.
@@mrbonjangle The entire joke there is the fact that it's meant to look like a child's drawing, but it was made by a 20 year old. How on earth did that go over your head?
This scene is so sad. He ‘outlived’ his whole family and everyone he ever knew. Just to dig up his nephew he never met. (I don’t count the Professor as his family just because he constantly puts fry in danger and it’s a really distant relation)
To be fair they are related so still family... and he has a cloned nephew that essentially is the professors brother essentially xD.
+Atom_Bomb_77-I think that adds an even more extra amount of gutwrenching. Fry never got to know even his nephew that was named after him. By the time he ever found out he had a nephew back in the past, he was digging up that nephew's grave. Fry didn't just walk away from that grave understanding Yancy better and understanding that his brother truly loved him that much, just was never able to show it until Fry was gone. But he gave the clover back to his nephew because he felt Phillip Fry still deserved to have that clover more than he did. It's a way to give a gift to a nephew he never got to know, even if it was too late, Fry still wanted Phillip to have it. For Phillip to carry that luck with him in whatever life he exists in now.
In Bender's Big Score Fry did met his nephew though as his nephew was the one that told Bender where Fry went. Also that Fry was the Fry that became Lars and not the actual Fry that the show want us to follow.
Fry banged his Gran(Roswell That Ends Well season 3 episode 19)
so his nephew is also his great-grandson.
The Professor actually descends from Yancy's son Philip J Fry. Remember that he is Fry's Great great (insert many more) great nephew.
This was the saddest moment of futurama.... It touched me
I dunno. The end of Jurassic Bark is pretty sad.
sandcrawler200 Both of these episodes hit me pretty hard as a kid.
+whitewing Actually the BIGGEST and HEARTBROKEN moment it can be found on the Jurassic Bark Ending. Then again that is if you are a dog lover. No dog owner (or ex-owner,for that matter) can watch this episode and hold their tears.
Agreed that Jurassic Bark was also extremely powerful. This one is more so for me because of my having an older brother.
+Sergio Oduardo ya u are right
Nobody realises that this isn't depressing, this is happy. He got closure, with Seymour he waited all that time for nothing.
not only he waited for nothing, but also Fry never appreciated it, because he thought otherwise. How tragic is that.
That's subjective.
If you look at it through Yancy's eyes he never got closure, Fry was never found. Then it is depressing.
Totally agree with Dusty.
That's why I cried. That his family actually missed him. After all that time, Fry thought he was just some nobody and getting tossed into cryo was a serendipitous clean slate. Who knows how much they could've changed b/c Fry disappeared. At that point, it becomes so real.
And it repaired his brothers image in Fry's mind and inspired his nephew to become a hero.
It's bittersweet. Fry's family never got closure, but at least Fry knows that his brother always loved him.
I lost my brother due COVID on September 26th, 2021. Two months later, my wife gave me the news she's pregnant on November 2021. My son due date is July 26th 2022. I'm naming him after his uncle, Geovanny. This episode gets me very sad. He would've been a great uncle 😢😔
Son, I'm naming you Geovanny Montero. In honor of my big brother, who I miss everyday. I love you Geovanny. I always will.
😭That's so touching.
That was really incredible. It is wonderful to name your child after someone you lost.

That’s so sweet

see family guy, this is how you do a touching scene
family guy was great, WAS. around 2005 it started going downhill fast
"See, Dora The Explorer, this is how you do an epic car chase scene"
TheTotte654 futurama was a show to make you laugh as well and they handle scenes like this beautifully. so yah, my logic is sound
Tyler Herman Futurama wasn't made purely to make you LOL at every joke. That's what FG does.
Brandon Roberts Well, they can't. I like the show, but they can't have a touching moment. There's always a joke in the middle of the whole moment or Stewie points out the obvious faults in it. Which is funny, which proves my point again, they don't try to be touching.
Anyway, I'm really tired of Family Guy getting bashed on all the time. Never seen one person say Futurama sucked. But that's probably because the Futurama haters are mature enough to accept the fact that people like it, and they most likely don't bother watching it, on TV nor UA-cam. Can't say the same about FG haters.
This episode will always be the best. Well said comments here as well. One thing I haven't seen anyone mention is what the tombstone reads. We as viewers learn (including Fry) that Philip Fry lived an unbelievably successful and inspiring life. Astronaut, rock star millionaire etc. But despite all those accomplishments Frys family made sure to honor his legacy by mentioning him on the tombstone. Which implies that even long after Frys sudden disappearance he was never forgotten
Kyle Eaves of course the tombstone would've read as "Phillip J Fry, II"
@@SuperWolsey not necessarily usually those types of things are for direct descendents.
Everytime I need a time of sadness I come to this clip. I lost my brother to leukemia 26 years ago and I miss him as well. Always a tear jerker.
My brother die too of leukemia a year ago... i miss them a lot. This episode reminds me the better way to keep alive his memory through my future son name's...
@@anorus93 that's a beautiful reason. Stay strong like I'm sure your brother is.
Well he is alive in your memory that good enough and name your son after him
Lost my little bro to brain cancer 8 years ago. This stabs me right in the soul every time
Always got the feeling, thanks to episodes like this, that one of the primary concept themes for Futurama was, "This is what happens if you commit suicide, this is what you leave behind, and this is how your loss affects those you left behind."
Это 100% про меня
When I saw the end of Jurassic Bark, I got teary-eyed.
When I saw this, I sobbed like a baby.
Me too
Same here.
I sobbed like a baby at both and at the end of Game of Tones.
NAH First time I saw that episode I cried!
2:25 This is incredibly minor, but I love how Leela and Bender are actually walking away.
So many other shows would have just not animated them because they left the scene earlier.
Love that little touch.
Also, this is extremely heartwarming. Probably should have brought that up first.
Quality writing, quality animated, quality show
Joe Smithers sorry I wouldn't know, fucking pop up suggestions are blocking my damn screen.
Katie Bayliss I WAS JUST GONNA SAY THAT
Paying homage to the Breakfast Club you think? With the walking and the song?
I honestly can't think of another sitcom animation that has a more depressed character than Fry. And what adds onto this is that he's not smart and in fact a pretty stupid but yet understands feelings better than most people do.
Possibley Gary from final space
Bojack Horseman has tons of sad and bittersweet moments.
@@libertatemadvocatus1797 Gary from Final Space is much like Fry, but Bojack is on another level entierly. Bojack is just broken and almost beyond repair. If they continued the show, it would be bad for itself. Bojack ended perfectly. Hearwarming, yet bittersweet and relatable. Who would have quessed that adult cartoon would be better than most shows
zøg from disenchantment also seems depressed (Same creator who made futurama)
Yancy narrating how much he misses his little brother in the past, the ending with Fry and Leela enjoying their lives stuck in frozen time, and Seymour waiting till he passed from old age are some of the best serious moments in Futurama.
Amazing how Groening could switch from goofy and silly to heartfelt like that back in the day.
He was on his game back then. It's painful seeing how far Simpsons has fallen
Now Futurama’s back baby
@@shadowednight1600what's more painful is trying to watch current animated shows like Rick & Morty, Bojack, bobs burgers and so on
When people say Futurama was a meaningless show I'll just show them this, the episode where Hermes saved Bender from being destroyed as a young robot and the episode with Fry's dog.
Ale Camp Don't forget about Game Of Tones.
***** There's also "The Late Philip J Fry" where he's trapped in the forward-moving time machine and Leela leaves him the cave message.
Mamma's Homemade Beef Also don't forget Godfellas or Leela's Homeworld.
+Anna C Don't forget the sting and menwhile
Anna C the one with his mom was very touching as well i actually woke my mom up just to hug her and tell her i love her
“I love you, Phillip. And I always will.” “Cries”
I really wish fry would've been able to go back and make amends with his family and brother. That would've been a great episode.
He kinda did in Game of Tones
mrsuns10 explain
Kian Mcwilliams
He makes amends with his mom in her dream in that episode
mrsuns10 Eh, sounds unofficial since it isn't really face to real face but then again I haven't seen the episode. Thank you for informing me.
mrsuns10 well ya but it's still a dream. Unless professor faunsworth made a device that projected him in her dream. What exactly happens in the episode, or what episode is it
I always love how they hit this tear-jerking emotional moment with a 'age 20'
It's a beautiful touch. "Yes, we're going to kick you right in the feelings. But he's still a dumbass."
If you don't tear up when Yancy says "I love you Philip, and I always will" are you even human?
How do you pronounce tear
I am because I don't sympathize with abusers. Are you human that you think an abusive older brother who's probably just sad his punching bag is gone is some how redeemed because he got a little sad?
@@RJLiams Absolutly agree on that.
I dont miss my older brother in the slightest since i moved away from my family 10 Years ago.
The only real Brother i had was a person which passed 5 years ago far to early...
Xkcd: Even spambots cry at Jurassic Bark
@@Acacius1992 Shit, I'm sorry you feel that way... If you ever have kids, make sure to teach them to treat each other differently
I think this is one of the reasons why Futurama is above a lot of other cartoon comedies. It had more investment in the characters and an actual story. The Simpsons, Family Guy, South Park, etc. are all funny, but I never really cared for the characters like I did in Futurama.
The simpsons had investment on story, like the ''do it for her'' episode
I know. It has a lot of feel-good moments. But nothing like Futarama. Plus the "overall plot" of Futurama was more focussed: it was a guy who gets frozen and sent 1000 years into the future. Simpsons was just random adventures of Springfield, which is fine, but not as good as Futurama imo.
Classic simpsons had many moments like these.
Now its a piece of garbage, but back then it was on par with Futurama.
Mother Simpson is one of many episodes that prove that.
and Rick and Morty
The Simpsons did have moments like these but it was hampered by not having any story arc over multiple episodes. Episodic plots can only do so much
i remember how much this episode caught me by suprise. i was really not expecting that when i saw it years ago
The fact that his family missed him for the rest of their life even if he didn't think they would made me realize I would probably hurt someone If I decided to disappear.
Thanks Futurama.
When my little brother moved to Arizona I honestly thought I was never gonna see him again because when he was out there we had a family member that went out there to bring him back but he ended up passing in a hotel room, and when word had got out about what happened I thought to myself "WTF is going on"?! Worried about him I tried to stay in contact with my everyday. I have only one blood brother and Idk what I would do if anything ever happened to him. I love my little brother and watching this one clip always makes me tear up. Good to have yu back home Chris
♥️♥️♥️
This is even sadder when you realize that he still desecrated his nephew's grave.
No, that was entirely Bender and Leela
@@massproducedeva_ Just Bender, and his fault anyway.
He didn't know though, so not really.
Puleva wargamer give Bender a break, he was one skull short of a mouseketeer reunion
What do people care what dead people think? They are dead they dont give a shit.
Forget "Breakfast Club", this is what I think of when I hear Simple Minds' classic track. The image of a 20th century man in the 30th century tearfully putting a clover back into his nephew's grave.
I actually watched Breakfast Club because of the role it plays in this episode and now I love the song for both. TBC because of how the characters learn to see each other outside of stereotypes yet it's uncertain if they'll ever hang out again because school cliques are a bitch. And this one because I have brothers and this scene tells what they mean to me better than I ever could. So in both cases it reminds of the people I wish won't forget about me
You should set up a UA-cam Channel and analise some of your favourite movies. Particularly Olvier Stone films...
Don't You (Forget About Breakfast Club)
“Sorry ladies, I’m taken”
“Want me to smack the corpse up a little?”
😂
Good old Bender
Never a dull moment. Fuckin’ Bender 😂🤦🏻♂️
"I'm one skull short of a Mouseketeer reunion"
@@terrance3218 Wonder who he was going back for.....Britney Spears or Justin Timberlake?😈
this show had the best mix of comedy and emotions
*****
best way to describe futurama is that is was one of the few comedies that had you laughing till you pissed your self and 2 second later you where crying your eyes out. if understood that to have a great show you have to have good character development, and if did. it also excelled when it came down to showing how characters would react to a pressing situation. when it came down to the it, the show would always choice a heart warming moment over a stupid joke when it truly mattered.
Who's cutting onions?
It was Bender, he was bending onions
Onion ninja
His dog, his mother, and his brothet love him. What a lucky guy.
His dad did too, in his own way
The dog was the only one who loved him.
That 7-Leaf Clover really did work.
@@RJLiams you clearly didn't see all the episodes then.
@@re1010 Oh I did. The episodes that focus on his family show them being abusive or neglectful towards him for most of the episode. Then shows them having a single moment of kindness. That's not love.
This is the saddest and best moment for me personally in Futurama. It really is a tragically beautiful story. Fry spends most of the episode cursing his brother because he believes Yancy stole everything from him and had a great life. When Fry reads the tombstone and learns the truth and sinks his shoulders in sadness and shame it gets me every time.
The Boulder is tear-bending!!!
Seems to me like you're scared Boulder!
I just fucking died so many people won't get this
Ssj3 gotenks 420 At least we understood it.
+The Boulder I wish I could like this 100 times
+The Boulder you fought toff, and lost. XD
Saddest scene in Futurama:
If you have a brother, this one.
If you have a dog, Jurrasic Bark
If you have both, then there aren't enough tissues in the world
Not to mention if you have a mother, Game of Tones.
Honestly
My brother moved to California and doesn't speak to me or my parents anymore.....I'm really heartbroken.
@@lonewolf604 you should try to stay in contact friend. My youngest brother is gone, he died in another state. I kept telling myself "I'd call him later"..."there's always tomorrow." Then one day there's not tomorrow...good luck I hope you two can reconcile your differences.
His family was abusive and neglectful. Other than the dog, fuck them all.
This is my favorite moment of one of my favorite episodes of one of my favorite shows on TV
Actually, this is my second favorite episode. Roswell that Ends Well is my favorite.
+Pinguino del Rio I love the episode
Pinguino del Rio mine is the seymore waiting
My favorite as well it get me every time
This is arguably one of the most well-written cartoon scenes in all fiction. For seasons, the writers have us see Fry's family as a bunch of jerks who don't give two craps about what happened to him. Then we get an episode that makes us think his own brother stole his name and glory. Then near the end, it hits us in the feels when we learn that all along, this was not true and the person on the grave was his own nephew, who was named to honor and pay tribute to Fry. This arguably must have affected Fry as well, as it causes him to finally realize how much his brother truly loved and cared about him.
It really paid off. The first time I saw this episode I cried like a bitch, and still tear up now seeing this scene
Same sniffle
This acually was one of the saddest parts of the whole show. At least fry learned he was lived and cared by his family more then he thought.
I thought Luck of the Fryish was sadder than Jurrasic Bark
its a tough one
Both are equal in terms of sadness. One is about Fry's brother missing him dearly, while the other is about Fry's dog friend being loyal to him to the bitter end of his life. Both are just equally sad in their own right.
Luckily Fry went back to the past and stayed with his dog until Bender killed him and caused him to be coated with ash
two episodes to watch just once and never again.....too emotional....and to think that some people actually diss cartoons.
Jurassic bark ends with fry being stupid thinking his dog lived a full life and ending on a bitter sweet moment where he chooses not to clone him because he thinks the dog wont remember him anyways ...luck of the fryrish is much less dumb and fry gets closure so it hits harder....he doesnt get the choice to see yancy again..just to not steal the clover and is more personal of an ending...he gets closure and is content with it...its beautiful
Philip Fry, named for his uncle...and great-grandfather...and cousin once removed
No matter how much you think youre worthless, or a burden, someone will always miss you. Even if you dont realize it, keep going cuz youre important to somebody.
Here Lies Philip J. Fry, named for his uncle, to carry on his spirit. :(
+Alfred Loo the river started flowing when i read that
Well Fry thought that his brother stoled his dreams and used his name when he didn’t and that his brother Yancy named his son after him.
Everything is just perfect about this scene. Bender's comic relief and Leela's empathy "I think he needs a minute alone".
Jesus this shows capacity to hit you out of absolutely nowhere with moments like these is incredible.
Everyone always talks about Jurassic Bark, and don't get me wrong, that episode is phenomenal and every bit as emotional as it's made out to be.
But this is the one that always got me. At least Fry had peace of mind, thinking Seymour forgot him, even if that wasn't the case. This, though? Fry had an entire lifetime of resentment toward his brother, and to find out that not only did his brother love him dearly, but missed him and honored his life. And Fry will never have the chance to Yancy how much that meant to him. Heartwarming and heartwrenching all at once.
This one easily broke me harder than Jurrassic Bark
Better then a dog dying
The difference is, one is emotional but ultimately depressing and the other is uplifting.
This is so sad especially if you fought with a brother.
Fry may be a bumbling goof, but that's overshadowed by his big heart and sentimental moments in the series.
Just like Homer Simpson.
I still get teary-eyed about that one episode as to why there wasn't a baby book with Maggie in it; because he kept her pics at his job to motivate him to keep on working.
+Nunya Bizness that ending always gets to me. Both shows knew when to make you laugh and when to make you feel.
What it started out as Fry's brother, Yancy, stealing his name AND his clover, it was actually a homage to him by calling Yancy's son Phillip Fry and also gifting him the clover Fry had. Yancy actually loved Fry, even when he didn't demostrated that so often. If i'm being honest, i didn't understand this scene as a kid, now that i do, i really feel it.
+Dragon Del Sur-I think Yancy lived with that regret as long as he lived as Fry disappeared. Because Fry's family never knew what happened to him. Seymour did (and still waited for Fry to come back one day nevertheless. . .the tears. . .) but Fry's family never knew whether he was alive or dead. He was just. . .gone one day to them and never returned. They never knew whether he died or he vanished because he felt he was never loved.
And Yancy probably regretted as long as he lived after that that he never told Fry how much Fry meant to him. That he was lousy at ever letting Fry know that and Fry disappeared or died believing that his own family didn't love him. It's clear that Yancy talked about Fry so much that Yancy's wife knew who Fry was and knew what Yancy wanted to name their son.
And it's a complete heel turn from the first episode. When Fry found out he was hurled thousands of years in the future where everyone he knew is gone and has been dead for some time, he was okay with it. He thought that no one loved him so what was there to miss? In this episode, he finally realized the toll his disappearance took on his family. And that they didn't simply get out and move on with their lives without him. They were devastated after he disappeared and never quite recovered. Fry wanted to believe that Seymour lived a long happy life without him, but that couldn't be further from what happened. Seymour lived a long life, always waiting for Fry to come back. Yancy was probably the same. He never stopped believed someday Fry would just come back home.
Fry finally figures out that his family did love him. The brother he didn't have a great relationship with, loved him that much. And Fry finally realizes what he has left behind, the people he left behind. And it's a revelation he will always carry with him.
I lost my brother almost a year ago. Like with Yancy and Phil, I'm the firstborn, and he was second. I'm also named after my father and grandfather and such. When I have kids, I will name my second son after him. In that part where Yancy says "I love you Philip", I said my own version in my eulogy for him. "I love you, little brother. I always had and I always will."
People are mention Fry's dog Seymour as being emotional. But honestly, this is far more emotional.
Both in different ways, though. The dog one made me feel bad for the dog, since he spent his entire life waiting for his owner to return. This one was happier, since Fry realizes that his brother, who he thought didn't care about him, truly loved him after all these years.
I did not cry watching Seymour because I already saw the original movie of the dog
Fry's dog was straight up depressing. This one is more emotional, because its both sad but also bittersweet, because Fry learns the truth and reconciles with his brother, whereas in Jurassic Bark Fry never learns about Seymour and its just a total downer ending.
but Game of Tones was 100x more emotional than the two of them put together
Um no. This is much better than game of tones. Best episode of the series, hands down (which is saying something, as there are a ton of great ones).
This reminds me of how I was named. Before I was born, my uncle Stephen Mark Jarvis was shot in 2001. He died 19 minutes after in his car since he didn't feel any pain and bleed out. From what I heard my uncle was a very nice man and cared for homeless animals with his family. In 2002, I was born as Stephen Mark Pleasant to carry on my uncle's spirit. Then last year my sister passed away by a tragic seizure and I'm planning on calling my future daughter Jasmine Rene Lawrence. This scene made me cry a whole lot to this day and gave me many memories.
Your uncle sounds like a wonderful man. If I ever had a kid, may I name him after Stephen?
Those are some beautiful sentiments.
You know, when something is really special to you, keep it for yourself and don't share it with the whole world...
I'm not crying, you're crying!
YES!!! I *AM* CRYING!!! THESE ARE MANLY TEARS!!!
We all crying man
I'm crying and this comment is blurry
“He wasn’t original, he wasn’t a martian, he wasn’t *WINDOWS 7 EXCLAMATION SOUND* , and since when is he a the??”
Here lies Futurama, a clever funny emotional cartoon show which made us laugh and cry. Hopefully one day someone creates a cartoon show that will carry on its spirt.
Never know what you have till you've lost it
I remember seeing this for the first time on TV, and when Yancy said "Daddy has a present for you" was when my heart went "Oh no... OH NO"
People always say the ending to "Jurassic Bark" was the saddest Futurama moment, but I think the ending to this episode is sadder!
the sting is a pretty sad ending too...but hopeful same for the idle hands are devils play things
You really gotta admire what good friends Leela, and Bender are. They take their time to help Fry retrieve something that's personal to him, and don't even complain, instead, understand why he doesn't take the clover right after digging up a grave.
To my younger brother who is in high school right now while I’m in college: I wish I could be there when you most needed me.
You are much smarter and better than I am and will do great things. I wish I can express my love better as I feel I am not the best at doing that.
But I love you bro. Remember that.
I might send him this but Idk it doesn’t feel right.
Edit Update: He is my roommate now and annoying af 🤯 but I still love him unconditionally
My Mom trust me man...he idolizes you. I know I idolize my older brother. Maybe don’t send him something like this...but tell him something along these lines sometime. You’ll make his year.
My Mom sometimes I wonder... what’s happened to all these people with story’s to share on here?
Im going to send this to my lil bro next month
Sounds maybe cold for people on the outside...
But my older was never there for me, always made fun of me, looked down on me or bullied me in general.
So... yeah i dont care for him.
Maik Römer Sorry about that. It must’ve been horrible. I feel I wasn’t around for my brother because during his prime years (high school years 14-18) I had moved for college in a different state.
I know people say the dog waiting for Fry is the most tear inducing moment I have to disagree this moment is better.
I think both scenes are quiet emotional but in different forms. Jurassic Bark is really depressing and cute at the same time. This moment has elements of surprise, a little bit of joy and tons of nostalgia.
To:MikeMJPMUNICH
I agree with you about this episode.The Luck of the Fryish" ending is more tear inducing.I have seen the ending of this episode,a number of times.Without fail,it always brings me to tears.
***** Oh yes... I almost cried.
***** Man, that episode.
no and i think the game of tones ending tops this as well
Futurama really holds up today with it's well written episodes. Jokes actually lands and has genuine emotional moments, plus the show ends at a great note. Unlike Family Guy.
Futurama also holds up better than Rick and Morty will in future imo. Already Rick and Morty feels very meh and dated
Family Guy was never funny.
@@michaelgreenwood3413 wrong
@@Garethsmod No, Right.
Because it's made by Seth McFarlane. Everything he's ever made is crap.
I find it really interesting how Fry believed that nobody from the past would miss him, but as the series progressed, we got to see how much he really mattered to so many people. His mother, his brother, even his ex-girlfriend all valued him.
Don't forget his dog
