Futurama: How does it present an awful version of the future (or our current reality?)
When you think of the future, do you picture a better world? If you just thought "yes," maybe you were born in 1950. Otherwise, chances are you're imagining a techy dystopia not unlike the one we see in Futurama. Come learn how Futurama embodies our worst dreads about the future in this Wisecrack Edition on Futurama: Why the Future Will be Awful.

The real optimism in Futurama is that there will be a humanity on earth in a thousand years.
I'm glad someone else noticed that!!! Futurama is one of the great ones, just like our man Greg, the professor!!!👍👌😷
There will also be hideous mutants living underground...
@@JackSparrow-re4ql Hey... that's racist.. or rather will be
Very true my friend
That's debatable, though. Lol.
Futurama one sentence thesis: more technology, people still suck.
That works for today's world, too, unfortunately
@@antonydrossos5719 too true
People always sucked, and there will always be some people who will suck in the future
Get rid of sucky people, replace with uplifted dogs. 😁
@@MechanoRealist forget humanity, become doggo
I'm super glad the dude from Thug Notes is back.
I really missed doc sweets. This is awesome
Whole bunch of waffling followed by ads. Crap video
@@phoenixzappa7366 ok so why are you watching?
Greg
@@phoenixzappa7366 Eh, my happiness at Greg being back has very little to do with the video he got roped into making. Wisecrack is not what it used to be in general.
Even just mentioned Fry's dog almost got me crying again. Was such a painfully sad episode :(
I cannot describe that episode to people without getting a lump in my throat.
@@RealBradMiller @Invenitive I wonder if you guys have watched Bender's Big Score, where it is shown (retconned) that a different version of Fry actually went back to Seymore, and spent all of those years with him. So he was never actually lonely. Personally I wish they had just let it stand as it was.
Do you remember the episode where fry's mind went back in time to visit his mom? futurama has several sad episodes D:
Every time...
@@derrickwolters8694 I guess the creators ended up realizing what an extremly sad ending they made especially for what is supposed to be a sitcom and unlike the viewers had the ability to officially release a fix fic. I think if they knew beforehand how that ending would come across they would have changed it.
Anyway even with the retcon this episode is still too heartbreaking for me to rewatch.
Greg, we miss you. I and my students greatly miss your series "Thug Notes." I hope to see more of them.
Those videos are still available to watch online and new video analysis continue to be made, just presented in a different manner. Can't we just be thankful this channel still makes quality content? This new format has been updated to appeal to a larger audience and has successful transitioned to a more modern approach.
@@TylerWitucki
"Appeal to a larger audience" is just code for "Bland, Lowest Common Denominator, Sterilized and Safe for Advertisement" Which is part and parcel of exactly the shit Futurama was criticizing with its outlook on the future, crushing the soul out of people to make things more palatable to corpo slime.
Greg is good news, everybody!
@@briarblack7437 No, "appeal to larger audience" means discontinuing a cringy, stupid and forced segment of wisecrack which is thug notes and earthling cinema
@@professionalname5298 "Cringy" is individual taste. "Forced" can have some amount of shared agreement but is still as vague as all artistic analysis by definition. "Stupid" is simply proof you aren't discussing your views, just throwing them around as cheap insults. So we're supposed to agree with you why, exactly?
Phew, after reading a bunch of Musk-worshipping tech optimists in a recent Reddit thread, this was exactly the dose of reality I needed to calm my unreasonable rage.
They would drink gallons of his sperm, I wouldn’t wild out about them too much if I were you.
I'm a tech optimist but I hate Musk
I love the way futurama portrayed the future. I once read they intentionally tried to not make it a utopia or dystopia, just more of the same
Your take on all this is awesome!
It is a dystopia. It's just our dystopia, only this time there's more tech.
I mean, the quality of life and standard of living looks better than ours...plus they got way cooler shit to do.
@@CaptainNeckbeard If you think this is dystopian.
Then I wonder what your measure of “okay” and “utopia” are.
heck, connecting those calls used to be a job.
@@BasicLib
He's probably a delivery boy.
It's really weird to imagine that washing your clothes used to be actual work.
Then again phoning someone in the neighboring town was a significant cost factor just about 20 years ago. And now we are shitposting internationally. Because it's covered in a monthly plan between 20$ and 70$.
I remember calling my friend literally across the street was expensive long distance because that was the border for a different Area Code.
Most people in the world still work them by hand; know why? BECAUSE THEY'RE POOR!
Washing your clothes is still work for the vast majority of the human race (the people who don't live in first world countries)
@@TheRockerX First world country things right 🤷🏾♂️
@@TheRockerX Don't be so sure. Thanks to modern technology there are primitive hut villages with electricity and internet nowadays...
Can we please get more Greg. I love his voice and take on things.
Same. I get excited when I hear his voiceover!
Agreed
For what it's worth, it was written by Ross McIndoe. It's in the description.
me too.
please god no
This is pretty much the core conceit of the cyberpunk genre, it was genre backlash to the techno optimistic scifi genres of the 60's and 70's that instead predicted that technology wasnt going to save humanity from being our same shitty selves. It would just give those in power new ways to oppress us.
The more that time goes on the more it feels like that the cyberpunk genera predicted the future. A dying world and a life with no privacy or freedom.
@@redenginner
Because we let it predict the future?
The Cyberpunk genre was always a bit of a warning signal of what would happen if we didn't course correct.
Watching this video made me realize what a truly special show Futurama was.
I rewatched it during lockdown! It was kind of what i needed!
Despite being so much about robots, aliens and aliens it's one of the most human shows I've watched. It's a group of unwanted people who, when faced with the endless drudgery and mild dystopia of systems, find meaning and solice in their relationships (even if they don't really like each other that much).
Systems will collapse, borders will change, demagogues will come and go. The only constant is our drive to huddle together in the face of it all.
Oh, dear! I really ought to do something to prevent such a terrible future...buuuut I am already in my pajamas.
Hehehe
I know a guy who literally responded to a friend's request for a hospital emergency that way.
Greg is my favorite Wisecrack guy to listen to since Jared left
Jared left?????
Why did he leave??
He's a ginger. They have limited lifespans, like a Nexus 6 replicant.

@ralf dsouza that’s literally capitalism.
@ralf dsouza Perhaps on paper, but in reality you are public property and will be treated accordingly. It's the tiny elite that gets to use everything the state owns (including labor) in the expense of common people, just like in non-checked capitalism.
And definitely make sure there’s no one there who doesn’t look like him!
@ralf dsouza
You're confused about the difference between *personal* and *private* property.
I'm not interested in taking people's toothbrushes.

Never forget Nibbler was there from the beginning
"This much money could feed a small starving planet...
But it doesn't!"
Too real.
I dont know what happened to this crew of creatives between Futurama and Disenchanted cus they're simply incomparable.
Disenchanted didn't have 5 decades worth of PHDs under it's belt
Disenchantment just doesn't seem to say anything. It seems entirely surface. The Simpsons was a satire on the artificial reality of family sitcoms vs actual families, Futurama is a lampooning on consumerism, capitalism and other America exceptionalist ideals. Im yet to get anything deep for disenchantment therefore it is dumb.
@@R2-DPOO it feels like its just supposed to be futurama but in a fantasy story. but it really falls flat
Why does everyone think it's Disenchanted when it's Disenchantment
I heard that they were intentionally going in a different direction. It's a different story created by the same guy. If it was made by someone else you wouldn't be trying to compare them
Futurama was pretty spot on with their depiction of the future. I don't know if I'm a blue collar or not but I just graduated from uni (Bachelors) and I'm currently an Intern at NIH. THERE'S SO MUCH OUTSTANDING TECHNOLOGY AVAILABLE there but I can't use it cause I need experience for that. Only issue is in order to get that experience, I need a job. And in order to get a job......I need experience. So basically, I gotta work for free for rich assholes for about 2 years (in my relevant field which makes things tougher) to build experience and then *MAYBE* they'll give me a one time contract. Meanwhile guys who have connections and are less qualified than me are working in NIH as we speak *BOTCHING COVID TESTS* . It's a corrupt inescapable fucked up system.
Well, if you don't own the place, you're working class. The shade of your collar is only relevant to get you focused on meaningless internal stratification between you and other members of the working class so as to hold all of you back. You are all being exploited for a precious and irreplaceable commodity: your lifetime. The more you throw it in for free the better the deal for those who do own the place. Take it from me, I'm one of them.
Your education: I contributed nothing to it, yet you poured in what, 3 years, 4? Even paid for it? Your experience, exposure whatever? I want you on a discount or free of charge.
You see, my productivity is not really knowable because I have no real idea what I'm doing, but it's better when you're cheaper, this much I do know.
At least if you were doing trade work you could sign up as an apprentice and get paid to learn the job
@@Sophistry0001 Trust me. Not in my country. The concept of apprentices just isn't practiced here. I wish I could be an apprentice.
@@richteffekt Which is why I don't throw it in for free. And I don't see a basic 9-5 job structure as a feasible way to continue my lifetime. It's a flawed system that, as you put it, exploits an individual's entire life for the promise of a halfway decent pension plan and basic insurance. And the more time moves forward, the more expendable human labour becomes by being replaced by machines that can work more efficiently AND don't need basic requirements like pension, salary and health insurance or even breaks to function (Though they do need maintenance). My focus is to use the job market as a stepping stone. To generate enough income to start my own sustainable business in the future. I'm young. I have ideas. I have time, patience, work ethic. Why do I need to waste the rest of my life in a stagnant robotic lifestyle when I could run the damn place or at least give it a decent run for its money.
@@sarmadhabibkhan3036 keep that positivity. You'll need it when you're almost 30 and only making a couple bucks more than min wage at a full time job that doesn't even pay you for sick days. Like me.
And when you start that business give your boy a holla
Truly, this show was the Cassandra of our times...
The year 3,000: advanced automation and unmitigated capitalism guarantees poverty and meaningles lives...
The year 40,000: priests pray and light incense and in the hope of getting the oxygen scrubbers to work again...
@@davidallamericananarchist9220 As they should. In the name of the Machine God, the Omnissiah, and the Motive Force
@@davidallamericananarchist9220 What you said sounds to me like a song or something like that I listened once. But I can't remember it.
The what of our times?
@@ThePooper3000 Cassandra. In greek myth, she was cursed to always speak the truth, and never be believed. That's oversimplified, but that's what I meant in my first comment.
This is what I've missed from Wisecrack for a few months now. Biting, relevant, concise and entertaining social commentary delivered in a cadence that could make me forget just how awful and true the thing being talked about turns out to be. Make me happy to see how awful the world is again.
Zapp Brannigan: Good! Invite her to my quarters. Oh, and have the boy lay out my formal shorts.
Kif: "The boy", sir?
Zapp Brannigan: You. You lay out my formal shorts.
I have mated with a female. Alert the men!
everyone is still going mad about Seymour, which is absolutely reasonable.
but man, when Fry found his nephew achieved his dreams and all that entails? man, to me that was and is Futurama's true tearjerker.
Yeah, but that was a beautiful bitter-sweet moment. Seymour was a cruel emotional gut punch. Glad they retconned it, even if it was awfully convoluted.
@@kayeka4123 well we'll have to agree to disagree.
YES! Greg is back!
send him back to where he came from
or shove him behind the scenes at least
This is the Futurama analysis I’ve been waiting for all my life
The Futurama crew didn't replace the Professor's original crew - they had been disposable humans themselves who'd replaced another crew.
Greg should do freelance voiceover stuff, he’s got a super distinctive voice that would be great for tv bumpers. Like tell me you can’t hear him telling you “you’re watching (X TV show) on (Y network). Up next, (Z TV show)”
gregs reading inflection sounds so inauthentic and patronizing it makes me want to rip my own face off

Oh happy day! Greg is back on Wisecrack! Thank you for popping in on this video. Also thank you for being on the Bituation Room a few months ago. I started watching you a few years ago on thug notes. Thank you for making my day!
Futurama is basically saying that the future will be a consolidation of all shitty things we have now.
And it ain't wrong.
In a way the primitivists and Amish have something going for them.
Unless we choose different.
@@melelconquistador They the shitty old ways all for them, lucky bastards.
12:54 You bastards! You cut out one of the most perfect lines/memes in Futurama history!!
ONCE AND FOR ALL!
... but
It was completely hilarious.
Loved it, certainly the Futurama's social criticism is more real now than it was 20 years ago... Baaaad feeling about this
Just drink some Solylent Cola
Im a 41 year old man and i still cry when i watch the episode about Seymour, this show had some of the best writing ever..I was upset when it was first canceled and the second time it was even more so.
Jurassic Bark is honestly the saddest thing ever written.
I am a simple person. I hear Greg, I bounce in my seat like my favorite song came on. Whatever you choose to do, my man, I will happily watch. A brain like yours is a thing of beauty and worthy of respect.
I missed Greg so much :') and hearing him talk about Futurama? An incredible 20 min
greg needs to go back behind the scenes i hate his voice with a fiery passion
I am a simple meatbag I see Futurame + Wisecrack... I click
Hard same
The man, the myth, the legend... welcome back, my man.
I love this man Sparky Sweets PhD. First he helped me remember the book I keep forgetting that I read, A Wrinkle In Time, now he reminds me of the word Googie. The best Doctor hands down.
Both the episode with Fry's dog waiting on him and Fry and Leela growing old together just to have their memories erased were both extremely sad.
Actually, if you look at history, things are getting consistently better. There are setbacks of course, but most of the time it's only our brain tricks us into thinking that everything is getting worse, or that there's no escape. This illusion is of course also supported by the media, because it prevents us from even trying to change things.
Not what they're talking about
I do agree with you I think some of the achievements we've made as people have been down played in order to put forward a narrative that the world is constantly getting worse all the time. In some parts of the world things are getting worse but in other parts of the world things are getting better. I do think that what futurama is presenting is possible but at the same time I believe that future tech will make life better even for those in the working class.
I think those who are in a position to abuse their power will have more ability to so due to future tech. I also believe that the working class will also see improvements to their lifestyles such as improved healthcare and general education but even though they're healthier and smarter they're still working class so they will still be exploited
@@mangalisadlamini6121 Yh it’s basically going to be lots of mini improvements that don’t really change the fundamentals of economics (atleast until robots do all the work allegedly)
Think about what working class meant in 1900
Think about that compared to a peasant in in the 1400s
Compare that to bing a subject of a god king in 12th Century BCE Mesopotamia
Compare that with being an hunter gatherer barely finding enough food
And now compare that with being basically a smart primate in Africa being hunted by big cats
We’ve gotten better but life isn’t perfect, I doubt it ever will
But there’s a narrative things are worse than ever to push whatever political ideology one has. I personally find it amusing that both extremes Arlen back to the 50s and 60s as the golden age
The conservatives complain about moral decline and the progressive complain about labor decline
When by almost every metric the vast majority of us live better lives today and almost certainly baring a royal fuck up from our species will live a better life in the 2060s
Changes will need to occur no doubt but we should stop with this BS were living in a dystopia shit.
Both of which are ridiculous position
Etc
@@mangalisadlamini6121
There will be no working class in the future, because robots will do everything. It could happen as soon as next decade, and I highly doubt it will take much longer. The progress in AI research is insane, even month-by-moth there's significant change.
The only question is what will happen to the people. Ideally we'll all be rich by today's standards. But it could go the other way, the ruling elite could decide that the other 99% of the population is now useless and a threat, so they instruct the fully automated military to kill everyone. The scary thing is that I don't see a middle ground, only the two extremes are stable. And looking at American politics, I'm not optimistic.
@@andrasbiro3007 I do think that's a possibility. If the elite of of today's society were to gain a monopoly on super advanced AI tech and robotics they could probably take over the world at the detriment of the lower classes. wide spread poverty and suffering would become a reality.
I think as robots get more advance I think we should step further away from capitalism and head towards socialism or even give communism a second try. i believe this would be the best way to prevent the capitalist elite form leveraging their wealth to gain a monopoly on super advance robotics.
wow, this is actually what I've been feeling and didn't realize it...
Thanks for the depression
The Marxist term is alienation. Reading more of the theory behind it really helped me get a better handle on the nebulous, abstract depression and apathy I'd been feeling for years without ever being able to quite put my finger on. Made more sense than anything I ever got from a therapist.
Futurama is still one of my favorite cartoons of all time. Like Slurm Mackenzie would say: Rock on! 🤙
RIP
Imma go lie down ...
Bring back thug notes. I found y'all cuz of thug notes.
that! and 8 bit philosophy
Thug notes was the best
The Earthseed books by Octavia Butler show a very realistic future where technology keeps advancing without changing the system. It's so scary! great video :)
I could only get through the first few pages so scary.
this episode only made me more worried about the future. And about how i can even work.
i spent most of this video with my head in my hands thinking "Ah shit" and laughing at how spot on it all is XD futures doomed
wisecrack: channel that asks philosophical questions
also wisecrack: the future is awful
isn't philosophy a bit more optimistic than this?
No. Who told you that? Nihilism and pessimism are philosophies, you know.
Hearing this well-read baller's voice again truly made my day.
"Welcome! To the world of TOMORROW!"
Just started watching this again recently - damn this show can rip your heart out sometimes
I always associate that techno-utopia image with meme text overlay "This would be now, if Harambe hadn't died." 😭
A take down of "the defining belief of American culture that technology will save us all".
That's a perfectly apolitical way to put it.
The ads that interrupt this video every two minutes so this guy can make money off his rant about crass commercialism support the thesis better than any of the actual content of the video itself.
"Will be..."
God the episode of frys dog just that short clip ripped my heart out
It's insane how Futurama is basically already our existence now, (at least in America) minus the insane technology
Zap was definitely in charge over COVID
Man I love your stuff ❤️
You and the Channel
The Meaning of NERD
Are my go to for philosophical Pop culture content 🙏🏼
Such beautiful words! So well said! I can’t explain how I feel about watching. My ex didn’t understand how I watched from being to end more that 10 times on Netflix (I was so mad when they no longer had all the seasons) I started to fall asleep to it and if it wasn’t play I could not calm down. My fiancé loved this show and like so many things I did as a kid. We were both treated similar. However my ex has since apologized for how he treated me and Is happy for my new family. So you can say this show has a special place in my heart!!!
I was literally looking for a Wisecrack Futurama video three days ago, this was exactly what I needed. Incredible content, as always.
"it is easier to imagine an end to the world than an end to capitalism”
-mark fisher
Greg reminds me of Jet from Cowboy Bebop.
Finally a good host. Honestly the guy with the hat couldnt remplace Jared. But you have just the charm and smarts to do so. I love thug notes.
*There's a term for this, Wisecrack. It is called a dystopia. The Jetsons are a version of a Utopia and Futurama is a Dystopia, Gift Wrapped with an appearance of a Utopia.*
Futurama is not A Dystopia or Utopia but a copy of present social issues and anxiety. Which is not changed by a technologically changing world.
I'm Dr. John A. Zoidberg, and I approve this message.
Let's say FUTURE while doing crunches. That will calm us down.
Omg that's Sparky Sweets. We have missed you so much!
9:00 As an amazon/whole foods deliverer, there are many, MANY "regulations" they want us to abide by that we literally cannot in order to satisfy Amazon's desired workload. For example, "ONLY SIX BAGS PER BIN, ONLY 9 BINS PER TRIP", meaning at most I should get 54 packages. But, assuming you work hard enough, almost every trip can be 60+ bags. In order to meet the amount of work provided, I literally have to break regulations.
I think this is one of Wisecracks best videos. It the philosophical message is presented so well to understand while reflecting the nature of peoples thoughts that live today. No need for old time philosopher comparison, it's all about how things have not changed and why they might not.
GREG IS BACK THIS IS NOT A DRILL !!!!
Also, that Janet jab will never go out of style
fuck greg
YES IT'S GREG AGAIN
Hm, I don't like it, sorry. It's so hard to understand him, takes a lot of effort to listen.
@@red_calla_lily cap
I for one welcome our decapodian overlords and their fancy mobile oppression palace, but I have already sold my soul to the robot devil.
Meanwhile in the Fallout universe, the only consolation for being alive is, well, the fact that you're somehow alive. What it and Futurama have in common is how humanity never changes.
Greg has the best voice that ever happened to ears.
gregs voice feels like pouring hot fry oil into my ear canal to me, im glad you can stomach it but im repulsed
That episode still bums me out, and it’s been years since I’ve seen it
Loving how you guys always finnish your videos with more and more questions and different perspective, thats the real filosophy right there
This video could have just said Futurama is A Brave New World adapted for television.
The end.
Weird as it sounds, I always thought Futurama was kind of optimistic. Despite all the problems that persist, humanity apparently solved at least enough of them to keep on living and expand throughout much of the universe. Not only that, but the human race has successfully integrated into a massive, interstellar community, full of various intelligent aliens and artificial lifeforms, all of which have equal citizenship on Earth, implying a human race that has generally grown impressively tolerant of even extreme diversity. And honestly, I was always a little skeptical of how much the whole "assigned a job through a career chip" thing was set in stone. Fry works several dozen jobs throughout the series, implying that the career chips don't necessarily lock anyone into a single career path forever. I always just figured he stayed a delivery boy most of the time because he was a lazy moron with no ambition (prove me wrong). It was optimistic in the same way the Star Trek was, implying that humans as we are now, have the ability to carry on into the future.
Musk played The Outter Worlds and was like "I want to do that but in real life."
Kerbal Space Program and Factorio too.
I'm so glad @Wisecrack started doing videos on Futurama
The bottom line shouldn't be "are you ready for our dystopian future?" it should be "We can't let this happen".
Even if it's hopeless in a short term or impossible for a single person to do it. With enough people and time we can slowly change things.
Wisecrack been bringing it lately.
Great video. Futurama always deserves more attention and analysis.
I feel like Diogenes would have loved Futurama.
There's something truly dystopian each time this video paused for ad breaks. RUclips as a medium is a perfect representation of exactly the issues discussed here - we all thought we were getting an innovative new way to watch video content, but it's *really* just another means of serving ads. Great video! Depressing reality :(
Ok Wisecrack, y’all did good with this one!
Perfect timing! Futurama for me was always waaaay better than the Simpsons, specially nowadays. Awesome episode Greg!
I liked both, but Futurama was much deeper and the topics usually affected me more
i saw a news piece about Amazon's warehouses on Cbs that showed they make the workers wear body movement trackers on each of their limbs, so the boss can see a 3d model of them moving and if they see them stop moving in the same motion that they were for 8 hours straight like stand still to drink a sip of water or breathe or pee, they can fire them for not doing their job. at mcds in the 90s, workers could go in the back stockroom and literally take a nap on the top shelf and no one would be the wiser
11:05 for some unknowable reason this reminds me of Amazon
I’ve been watching wisecrack since Thug Notes and 8 Bit philosophy, and this is my favorite video you guys have produced. Well done! More Greg please!
It seems that wisecrack are trying to stir the ship using Greg's voice...
they need to stop fucking stirring
Now I wanna look at footage of Conway the Machine for hours.
Gregg!? Gregg!? No, you sir are our boy Sparky Sweets!
Thankfully an app can never replace that epic voice.
Seems like you don't actually get how apps work ...
It takes place in the future kinda like Monster Hunter: Rise
Check out Ma's hair...
She represents Disney Corp. Straight up!!🤯
Disney was just an easy target. The Simpsons mocked them too, so it was a running joke for them. Mom still represents basically any big conglomerate striving for a monopoly.
@@SubjectiveObserver oh I mean the fact that she basically owns most things people use, want or need...
What?! Greg!! Been missing those thugnotes! Nice to see you again!
Thug notes cancellation is sadder than the dog episode, change my mind
Cancel Culture got to them
woo, Greg is back!
back? more like put him back behind the scenes
I think this is a good way to think about the future. What the future will be like for everyone will largely depend on what social progress we make today rather than inevitable technological advancements. We have agency, we cant just sit back and hope that technology will fix society eventually.
Futurama is my favorite TV show of all time. I world super love to see Wisecrack do a podcast like The Squanch with Futurama
