    One of the reasons I enjoy Groening's sense of humor so much is because he rarely resorts to ridicule. It's easy to get cheap laughs by tearing down a character. However, it's much harder to write intelligent humor that comes primarily from a desire to empathize with the characters. It's the difference between laughing at someone and laughing with them. Few comedians are able to consistently construct jokes like that, but Groening is a master at it.

      That's one of the most evidents things to point out un the Simpsons seasons where Groening isn't involve in production, that they recall a lot in this

      A few months ago I finally marathoned through it after having only watched the strray episode when it was on. I already loved it. And mostly I just wanted to leave on something light hearted in the background. But the more I watched it, the more I appreciated its genius, and it just kept getting better. I was surprised at the amount of episodes I had missed as well. There are people here and there who say they hate it and I am like...but how? It hits all the levels.

    The only other "adult animated series" that approaches Futurama's level is BoJack Horseman (which is criminally underrated). Futurama is basically the perfect show, because it combines slapstick and highbrow humor, genuine emotion, and social commentary in ways I rarely ever see.

    There aren't many shows that I can find that can give you such amazing characters with well made personalities that all mesh together so well, and not many shows where the writing is so clever and well done and the preplanning for later episodes like the shadow of nibbler in the first episode. I don't think there is anything in this world that has made me more sad than the last episode. I've been depressed for five years now,, coming up on six, this is the show that kept me going

    As much I love The Simpsons (and I fucking LOVE The Simpsons), Futurama in my opinion is the superior show. For exactly the same reasons you stated in the video.

    • @io-ru6zq

    • @robertcanty9756
      @robertcanty9756 8 років тому +3

      I think the Simpsons peak was longer and really high, but Futurama's peak was even higher but very short lived.
      End of Season 3 through Season 4 was their peak, then the show got cancelled and we got Season 5 via 4 feature-length movies which were excellent but the whole of them was not as good (but individually, a couple of them were superior).
      Futurama's return a years ago definitely had it's moments (Killer App was my favorite), but the huge gap between the end of the aired episodes (and the subsequent movies) and the return of the new aired episodes definitely took something away from them.

    • @io-ru6zq

      Howie Benatovitch The 3rd and 4th seasons are the peak.

    • @thirteenfury
      @thirteenfury 8 років тому +2

      I think it also has to do with the fact that since Futurama is science fiction, it can take full advantage of animation's ability to allow absolutely anything to happen without requiring suspension of disbelief, unlike live action. Futurama could have a nearly infinite number of stories within its universe whereas The Simpsons is restricted by their universe being relatively realistic and the status quo has to be reset for each episode.

The only reason they used the TT characters is for branding, and making more money off an established series.

      To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand Rick and Morty. The humour is extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of theoretical physics most of the jokes will go over a typical viewer's head. There's also Rick's nihilistic outlook, which is deftly woven into his characterisation- his personal philosophy draws heavily from Narodnaya Volya literature, for instance. The fans understand this stuff; they have the intellectual capacity to truly appreciate the depths of these jokes, to realise that they're not just funny- they say something deep about LIFE. As a consequence people who dislike Rick & Morty truly ARE idiots- of course they wouldn't appreciate, for instance, the humour in Rick's existential catchphrase "Wubba Lubba Dub Dub," which itself is a cryptic reference to Turgenev's Russian epic Fathers and Sons. I'm smirking right now just imagining one of those addlepated simpletons scratching their heads in confusion as Dan Harmon's genius wit unfolds itself on their television screens. What fools.. how I pity them. 😂
      And yes, by the way, i DO have a Rick & Morty tattoo. And no, you cannot see it. It's for the ladies' eyes only- and even then they have to demonstrate that they're within 5 IQ points of my own (preferably lower) beforehand. Nothin personnel kid 😎
