People thought I was dumb, but I proved them!

[-] Metaright@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

I still think they should let it die in peace, though. Not everything needs a reboot.

[-] sentient_loom@kbin.social 0 points 1 year ago

It depends. If they can still be funny then go for it.

[-] PunnyName@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Sad news, everybody.

It's mid, at best.

[-] cybervseas@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Futurama is a smart show pretending to be dumb.

Rick and Morty is a dumb show pretending to be smart.

Excuse me, I will now run away and hide.

Even though I like Rick & Morty too, I still agree with you, it is really overextending sometimes. Season 1 was humble, but after that... oh boy. Still fun to watch though.

[-] cybervseas@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

They get points for incredible background design and animation for sure. I don't think anyone superjail has done that much detailed work on every scene, and it far surpasses superjail even.

You call this writing?! If I puked in a fountain pen and mailed it to the monkey house, I'd get better scripts!

Edit: very few Simpsons connoisseurs here I see

At Harvard they taught ya? Hit the road, egghead. You should've majored in not getting fired.

Then why did they make that stupid episode about Bender being a baby robot when they already made another episode in the first season about him being born a full adult robot on an assembly line?

I just chalk some things up to creative freedom.

[-] Awa@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

I was actually frustrated at that inconsistency myself. Then you have the vending machine baby. Do robots age? Well his son apparently went through puberty and everything. I don't mind suspension of disbelief or shows that use multiple timelines to explain things (looking at you Star Trek), but here we are left without any explanation with two completely different, viable realities.

these numbers tell me nothing without knowing the size of the staff. if there were 100,000 writers, that wouldn't be very impressive at all.

[-] Steeve@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 year ago

About a dozen on average and 7 core writers (Matt Groening, David X. Cohen, Ken Keeler, Patric M. Verrone, Eric Horsted, Lewis Morton, J. Stewart Burns) according to ChatGPT

Good thing humour transcends education. And hookers.

[-] everythingsucks@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Forget the humor and education

[-] Madison_rogue@kbin.social 0 points 1 year ago

Still responsible for the saddest cartoon episode in history...

[-] bleistift2@feddit.de 0 points 1 year ago

Tell season and episode, no spoilers.

[-] Goatmom@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Not op, but I believe they're taking about "Jurassic Bark" season four episode seven. I won't spoil anything, but just know it's based on a true story, and that makes it so much more sad.

Edit: Park to bark. Autocorrect.

[-] PolarisFx@lemmy.fmhy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

That one is sad, but the other one that I can't watch anymore is "The Luck of the Fryrish" with Fry's nephew. I cry like a bastard during the last scene.. no idea why.

[-] Madison_rogue@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

Yes, Jurassic Bark. I won't watch it any longer. If it's on, I'll turn the channel.

[-] TeaHands@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Just the mention of it has ruined my night 😭

[-] YellowtoOrange@lemmy.world -4 points 1 year ago

Wonder how Rick and Morty compares

@YellowtoOrange @ickplant inserts Rick and Morty copypasta
