PTSD doesn't make you dumb, being in the Navy myself, I can tell you Zap is more a reference about how Officers see themselves after being disconnected from the troops for so long, especially on a ship where distinctions are most apparent. A Captain of a ship even today has his own personnal stewart and like other Officers he eats at a separate galley, because of this some of them definetly become disconnected from reality over time and Zap is a great caricature of this.
Oh yeah, I remember someone in the Navy telling me his Officer would divert the ship dozens of miles off-course by ordering the helmsman to turn the ship just so the sun wouldn't shine in his eyes when he had his morning coffee. All that fuel and time just so he never had to sit in another chair.
Dude I know! "Disconnected" is a perfect way to put it! I was in the army, I was a 19 kilo from 2003 to 2012 and I deployed to Iraq four times, and from my second deployment to my last appointment whenever we would leave Kuwait and go into Iraq, we'd always spend a month at fob Liberty to draw/sign for crew serve weapons and do maintenance on vehicles and stuff like that, basically everything we're going to need to run missions out of the post that we're going to be living and working out of for the next year, and fob Liberty is a super cushy post. They have a swimming pool, food courts with American fast food, massive Chow holes that serve gourmet cuisine, like that stuff is good! Internet, shower trailers, real toilets, at least one big PX, and after we finish doing what we have to do there us grunts that actually run combat missions and our company level commands go out to some shitty little post and the most dangerous areas of the country, while the battalion and brigade level of command and HQ soldiers stayed in the green zone living the cushy life, no running missions, no worries of mortars or rockets coming in, and there are guys who's when deployment is at places like fob Liberty! anyway, talk about being disconnected from your soldiers man... Once in a great while they'd come do a mandatory check-in on us and nit pick about how our uniforms are dirty or have blood stains, guys ain't shaved, how the food sucks, why don't we have a decent latrine for them to use, why are guys walking outside without their BDU/ACU tops on or covers on, blah blah blah, and the thing is these high high brass/enlisted dudes never had to do things like we did or love how we did bc when they were still young and coming up, it was peace time in the 80s n sht, and by the time Iraq happened, they were already so far up the COC that they didn't _have_ to do the things we did bc they're driving a desk or flying a filing cabinet, plus they're too old, and then we'd come back home and they'd give this year jerking speech to the families about the hardships "they faced", when in reality those guys would visit for half a day and just talk mad sht and then leave back to their single man trailers with AC and built-in latrines and their cinnabon and TV.
I think the better term they could’ve used would be that he had a full on mental breakdown which remained ongoing. PTSD doesn’t directly make you any more or less intelligent obviously, but it can trigger dormant schizophrenia or mental disorders like how PTSD caused by childhood trauma can later on in young adults
Fun fact: there's actually quite a few people who believe (or believed) that Nibbler's shadow was added to the pilot after it first aired. To prove to some of those people that the shadow was always there, one of my friends found, ripped, and uploaded a VHS recording of the original airing of Futurama's first episode, showing the shadow was always there. Plus there were other ways of proving it; the season 1 DVD release has animatic and storyboard versions of the pilot and the shadow is in those as well.
A point on Bender becoming a criminal, I have an additional rub. In the episode "The Birdbot of Ice-Catraz," when Bender is damaged, he reboots. When he reboots, he analyzes his surroundings...which are full of penguins. As a result, Bender opens his "penguin" file and acts and behaves as a penguin to fit in. If this logic is applied to Bender in the pilot, it only makes sense that he would become a criminal as he "reboots" in the Hall of Criminals.
@@jgreen2877 Is it *really* stealing? I mean, the suicide booth failed to kill him every time. I think he is owed his money back. He paid for a service and the booth failed to deliver said service. Semantics, I know, but now I am just having fun with the idea.
Actually in that episode the first thing he sees when he reboots again is Leela and he scans her as human which alluded to her being a mutant and not an alien.
I think the contradiction in Bender's origin and Bender supposedly changing because of the shock can explain each other. The original origin story was what Bender think happened, what happened with Hermes is what actually happened.
Not to mention how many times they went mucking around with time jumps, time travel, etc. They could have hopped to an entirely different universe with a different back story.
The bender not using binary theory is supported in s4 e8 Godfellas, In which bender states "Hey, that galaxy's signaling in binary! I gotta signal back! But I only know enough binary to ask where the bathroom is." If Bender ran off of binary he wouldn't only know one sentence
@@wolfetteplays8894 Well he saw that in his dream. Him seeing a 2 in his dream doesnt nessecarily mean the 2 would exist outside of the dream. I see plenty of things in my dream that dont exist in the real world. Actually if anything i think it leans more towards the 2 not existing outside of the dream, since he was afraid of it. If 2 existed in his code, he probably wouldnt be scared of it in a dream. He probably wouldnt even mention it.
If he was really using 0 1 2 this is known as a trinary system. Or rather it’s -1 0 1. it’s a less fast but more efficient system the soviets worked with a bit. Unfortunately it’s hard to use so never really caught on but it exists!
14:20 Disenchantment can still be set in the past (well kind of). It's true that Dr. Farnsworth's time machine only travels to the future, but towards the end of the episode, when they reach the end of time, the universe ends and restarts a new big bang from scratch and this new universe plays out identically to its previous iteration that we had been following in the show up until this point (let's call them Universe A & B). It's very possible that Fry, Bender, and Farnsworth when seen in Disenchantment are simply travelling forward in time through universe B. So the show itself is set in the past of Universe B, but because it is the same history as Universe A, we can just say it's taking place in the past.
Also when Fry gets frozen in the first place, we see a Medieval style period about halfway between the future and the past. It could possibly take place then
@@dongojangle106 which doesn't make sense, as after old New York is destroyed, a forest grows, then becomes a midevel period, then more trees and then new NYC. But if all that happened, forests and other civilizations, then how did old NYC survive?
There’s more of a Universe A, B, and C situation. Fry, Bender, and Farnsworth disappear from Universe A, accidentally skip over Universe B, then end up in Universe C, killing the original. That means Universe B has the Fry, Bender, and Farnsworth skip over universe C and go to the next one, universe D, etc etc continuing into infinity. Uh but that’s not relevant to OP’s comment lol
One I think is missing here: Every Character with the name “Waterfall” dies. And their death is always followed by another background character, who is never seen in the episode who is later revealed to also be named “Waterfall”. This plot thread ends in Into the Wild Green Yonder with Number 9 Guy, having his name be revealed as “Waterfall”. He then dies.
Nobody swore to avenge the waterfall that Lrr ate, did they? Unless I missed it. It's Free Waterfall Jr., I think. He says this is not happening... And no one swears to avenge him.
@@foxxie_gal87 they didn’t. They probably didn’t have the idea for the Waterfall’s story or that he was so preachy, even the rest of his family didn’t like him
Futurama bridges the gap from shows that are essentially just animated sitcoms, like the Simpsons, to what we see from adult animations today. I think that is why continuity is both really important, yet will be thrown away for a joke at the same time.
When you can hop between universes, you get a bit of leeway with continuity. Can we prove the continuity/backstory is from the existing universe the current episode is set in? And how would ever even know?
Zaps PTSD doesn't hold water. PTD will not make a warrior a coward. The entire joke with Zap is that he's a coward even the way he killed the robots it was just cowardly
When they show leelas dad as a young sewer surfer, his mouth is horizontal when he's a teenager but as an adult, it's vertical so the theory that he mutated more since his first showing holds up
@@connorlenihan2015 it is but in the scene where he's a teenager and surfing, he opens his mouth horizontally whereas later on it's vertical when he speaks
I still remember the adverts on TV for Futurama before it was released. I was really sceptical. I remember being blown away. It's amazing that this show has held up so well.
I never really got into the idea that the shock, changed Bender. He was ripping off the suicide machine, when we first met him, before the shock happened.
I think the shock rebooted him. In the episode "The Birdbot of Ice-Catraz," Bender is damaged and rebooted. When he reboots, he is surrounded by penguins and thus follows penguin programming. When Bender got shocked, he was in the Hall of Criminals in the Head Museum. Thus, he would reboot as a criminal. As far as the suicide booths, Bender units always have a back up...since Bender doesn't have one, and is thus, technically, mortal, he may have a fear or hatred of death and, by extension, the suicide booths. The only way he could get at them was by ripping them off. Either that, or its a silly gig in a cartoon sit-com that had low prospects of making it.
Well it is implied he's killing himself because he found out the girders he's been bending have been used to make suicide booths. Could be that he's ripping them off not out of greed or love of crime, but because he doesn't want to endorse the suicide booths by giving them money
The Futurama sleeper phenomenon from what I’ve read is because the show follows such a natural flow of dialogue that it feels like witnessing an actual conversation, as compared to say, laugh track shows. It makes the brain feel safe and as though you’re being watched over
One theory I have is that Zap Branagin is also from the year 1990~; he seems to have decent knowledge of 70's-90's music, and other things. It would make sense, he tricked people into believing he was a grand commander by means of old shows/movies. This gives credence to why he is completely stupid about alien races, why he was uninformed about the Star Trek wars (not only because he didn't live through the backlash but to distance his knowledge from the clear shatter role he has developed.)
I always thought how it's a joke about how characters in sci-fi always listen to music from the 20th or early 21st century, because apparently no new music gets made for hundreds of years
I actively use Futurama as my background noise for falling asleep. I know the show so well that it lets my probably ADHD brain flip to autopilot, so any episode works for me. Interesting to know there's a subreddit dedicated to it, lol!
Hey, me too! I'm glad to see others do it too. I have probably rewatched the series over 100x as a result. I used to watch South Park like this, but nothing is as good as Futurama. I play it as background for more than just sleeping. I'll actually watch it sometimes and pause it when I get up.
@@erict3728 I've used a couple, too. Alien, Rick and Morty, and the classic Winnie the Pooh are the only other ones I've used a couple times. Futurama's still #1!
I just started using futurama to fall asleep to last week! I’ve already finished and restarted the series twice, and yet I’m still somehow seeing things I’ve never seen before.
Anyone care to share their favorite seasons to start as they go to bed and their least favorites? My favorite is season 1 and I also like the extended/movie season(6 I think). I least like the later seasons like 7 and beyond(not that I don't like them, I just like the early ones better)
I think the Easter egg showing then in the time machine just goes to show they really did a full loop regardless whether disenchantment is set before or after Futurama, would be interesting if there could be such a difference in technology, medicine and more over continents..
Fry actually gets tipped back in his chair by nibler in to the cryo pod which is why the pizza box says to not tip the delivery boy. The writers are geniuses
I really hope we get more of the same, good ol' Futurama in the new season. And not some modern, one continuous story binge series that ties up every loose end brought up in previous seasons.
Late comedy legend and former Simpsons regular Phil Hartman (Troy McClure) was gonna voice Zapp Brannigan early in development. After he passed away, Billy West took on role doing a semi Hartman impression. Fry’s first name is an homage to him as well.
I always thought it was the sound of microwave plasma. Stick a lit match in the microwave and cover with a glass make sure you put something under to allow airflow and you too can make plasma lol the sound is awesome. lol found a vid of it on RUclips so you dont have to try ruclips.net/video/l0u8Vtf2GoQ/видео.html
I have watched the entire series probably 5 times. I did it repeatedly as a kid and then again recently. I don't think I could get behind the series if I started now. But it holds a special place in my heart forever.

In the Mother's Day episode, there are a pair of glasses that allow you to see through the eyes of a Bending Unit, and it has a whole bunch of criminal targets. Bender puts them on and says, "These give me a headache." That's the only continuity thing I know of to contradict the Pilot Shock idea.
honestly i think the disenchantment connection theory is just meant to be a fun little reference rather than proof that they're in the same universe. not everything needs to be connected.
Dude I didn't know Futurama sleepers was a thing. I too used to fall asleep to Futurama a lot for several years when it was on Netflix (is it still there?) But I just love the show that much and it's entertaining enough to watch repeatedly and familiar enough to where I won't stay up all night waiting to see the next cliffhanger.
I used to fall asleep to Futurama almost nightly before I met the woman that is now my wife. I never would have thought it was something so many others did, let alone that there would be a Reddit page about it. One of my favorite episodes specifically to fall asleep to was A Taste of Freedom in Season 4, Episode 5. No rhyme or reason why that was the one I liked before bed.
The final scene at the end of Seymour waiting for Fry in jurassic bark was a reference to an actual dog in japan that waited at the train station for his owner, who was a soldier in WWII and never came home, dogs are truly man’s best friend
The married with children reference was because the voice actress for leela played pegg on the show itself. She was also on 8 simple rules for dating my teenage daughter
It bothers me that people say Futurama "invented" that math theorem, When Stargate: SG1 did the exact same concept 11 years earlier in 1999. Futurama wasn't the first, and it wasn't new. The math was even explained almost the exact same way.
No lie, “Jurassic Bark” is the only episode of Futurama that I cannot watch. I lost my Great Dane a few weeks before that episode first aired and I ended up having a right proper emotional fracture when I watched it. To this day, I just can’t do it. That is one hell of a wonderful episode. Any cartoon that can elicit such a powerful cascade of emotions from its writing is astounding.
My ex-wife cannot watch this episode either. She was crying her eyes out when she watched it with me. I watched it with my kids and she walked in on us. She immediately walked out because she could not watch it again.
I think Zoidberg’s lack of understanding on human anatomy might be that most of the aliens we see have one or multiple quirks to their biologies. Kif’s species can have naturally pregnant males and turn into flies when they get old and the decapodians have claws as strong as a bender unit’s hand and can squirt ink and weird stuff from their mouth tendrils. Humans are kinda boring in comparison, so he probably expects all kinds of wacky biological stuff that simply isn’t there
Ok but can we talk about the "Fry frozen" sequence. We are later told that old New York is covered with New New York. So how can we explain the cryobuilding and window shot for that part? we see years go by and aliens attack, but always at the same level.
Good video. There are soo many things you can add to this. I've watched or listened to atleast one Futurama episode a night since originaly airing. I cant fall asleeep without it. I setup a rasberry pie next to my bed that loops throught all the episodes 24 hours a day so i just pop in headphones when laying down. (I also have episodes on my phone and laptop for when i travel.)
The whole body switch thing was done by Stargate SG-1 some 10 or 15 years earlier. BTW if you haven't done SG-1, Atlantis or SGU can you do it, either separately or as one franchise under the banner Stargate, doesn't matter either one could work.
I actually remember seeing the original pilot back when it first aired and I never noticed the Nibbler shadow but obviously if you’re not expecting it you’re not going to look for it on the first go. I do think it’s likely that the shadow was originally there. Nibbler and his specieis have this way of always adding to Futurama canon. The main conflict in the Futurama universe tend to involve Nibbler and his species. Their war with the Floating Brains seem to be the main conflict in the series and it seems like this conflict drives most of the happenings in the Universe. Explicetly or implicetly.
I'm happy Jurassic bark was the way it was. The connection I share with dogs is just soo much deeper cause you're codependent on each other. They rely on you for everything and you get a best friend out of it. They can have a good life after you leave but forming such a strong bond with something is just different than family (even family I really love).
As a die hard futurama fan this video is interesting. Was hoping for more in depth entries along with more entries overall. Definitely missed a lot of things but no fear as I have time to throw away! - The Lost Adventure. viewable via buying the futurama game for PS2, Beast With a Billion Backs DVD or of course reuploads on RUclips. A game where Mom attempts to take over the universe and the crew trying to stop them - Benders life before Planet Express. Speculating about his past is quite fun, especially since it’s quite unknown. It’s shown in the pilot he’s obviously in a dark place also being surprised by being cared about. We’re also aware his father is dead. In episodes such as a Pharaoh to Remember or Godfellas he’s shown to have insecurity in his meaning in the universe. In Ghost in the Machines he’s shown to quickly snap when hearing Fry didn’t value robot lives as much as human ones. Behaviors like this usually happen due to past traumas (most likely emotional and/or physical neglect). It’s very possible his life before the show takes place was incredibly depressing - DVD extras. In the DVDs you can check out a lot of the other options for some new interesting futurama contents! Including, but not limited to: storyboards/animatics, deleted scenes, 3D model show offs and extra images/drawings! - Radiorama. A pretty unknown futurama episode. It’s a podcast! Listen to it on Spotify if it seems interesting That’s all the time I have to wast for now. Cya
I came across this RUclips video at random, and the episode that happens to be playing on my TV at the time is the first one you mentioned (S6 E10). woah!!!!
The bender shock is disproven by the Mothers Day episode. Leela looks through the eyes of a bending unit and looks at fry. The eyes say ‘pose as friend, rob later’ meaning an unaffected bending unit would also rob fry, making it a criminal.
Wait, WHAT?! I thought I was the “only one” that fell asleep to futurama for years. No favorite episodes, I’d play it on auto play. Obviously I know other people probably did but I didn’t know it was a thing...
I got a fact. David X Cohen actually auditioned to play Bender before John DiMaggio did. Cuz they were having a hard time finding Bender's voice. And people said he sounded like a robot.
Omg I always thought I was the only one who likes falling asleep to Futurama! I’ve always needed something playing in the background to sleep (even as a kid) but Futurama is by far the most comforting and helps me get the best sleep. American Dad or Scrubs work as well for when I need a change of pace but they really don’t come close in comfort level and I have no idea why.
Hypnotoad's sound is not a wind turbine backwards. It is the sound caused by plugging in a piece of gear into the wrong input in the recording studio, as told on the commentary of one of the episodes on the DVD series. The sound was then labeled "angry machine".
It’s funny that I didn’t know there was a subreddit about sleeping to Futurama because I sleep every night to Futurama, it’s my comfort show I love it so much. On a side note, one of the biggest continuity errors I’ve noticed watching the show is the concept of dogs. In Jurassic Bark dogs have never been heard of by anyone in the future before until Fry tried bringing back Seymour. But, if I remember correctly, before that episode and after there have been many times where there have been mentions of dogs/puppies and have shown dogs/puppies. A smaller continuity error that requires more attention is definitely the fact that Kif’s green color has changed multiple times in episodes and scenes but it’s not that big of a deal/difference
you're gonna have to point to an episode where characters dont know about dogs, lmao, i've seen the show so many times and just don't think thats an explicit thing, they just dont talk about dogs a lot
Cool vid. I'm not entirely sold on the "no death" theory though. Take "the Sting" for example. Why would Leela be concerned about Fry dying if there is no death? Or what ends up being revealed is that she's in a coma and the rest of the crew is concerned about her death. Or, for example, "Fun On A Bun" where Fry is presumed to have fallen into a sausage grinder at Oktoberfest. A sausage grinder is not a suicide booth. Anyway, still a cool video. Hope my comment helps the Al Gore Rhythm.
No, he meant no death by natural causes. Old age, disease (as long as you get medical care), yeti-ism, etc. You can still die from being crushed or stabbed or stung by a giant space wasp.
Guys guys. It's specifically NATURAL death that can't happen. You don't die of old age, or disease. Only something ELSE killing you. Like Santa, the giant bees or getting hit by a spaceship.
Futurama could also be considered to be part of the Family guy/ American dad universe since family guy did their cross over with the Simpsons. Also I think Futurama inspired something in real life, from omicron persei 8 we get well.... you know and every time it would be said in the news I would add the Persei 8.
@10kproductions people die all the time. Rampant cloning is a common place. The professor has been cloning everyone throughout the series. In the episode with the scammers they open the safe and find samples of everyone who works with the professor. A very long running element is that neither Fry, Leela or Bender ever remember Scruffy, the janitor. That is because the memories of the clones are retained via cell memory. Hermes, Zoidberg and Amy were all cloned at the same time as Scruffy so they already knew him. Fry, Leela and Bender were cloned later and before they met Scruffy. You can deduce that there are more accidents than previously disclosed in the story lines. Leela is regularly asking Scruffy who he is and he, in turn, never knows who she is either. The professor found it too expensive to replace his crews so he decided to clone them for the economy of it and because he really does not like change as it is too confusing to him. So, clones of everyone is the way to go. The professor is also known for his cannibalistic ideas (Hermes jumping off the planet express building, Fry having blood that is sweet enough to put on pancakes, etcetera). Even the episode in which everyone is transplanted into everyone else, Amy makes reference to the smell of the burnt primates in the chairs of the device and the proffesor states that he has gotten used to it and cannot smell it anymore. The professor is also saavy about litigation with surviving family members (Hermes becoming a robot). The professor has an endless supply of experimental bodies to do with however he pleases and no one will ever know what he is doing because they are all revived at the point of their last memory before death (Fry and Leela robots for example). I could go on...the anteaters are there to consume any biological remnants of experiments.
As the time travel episode involved going so far into the future that the whole universe rebooted, Disenchantment doesn't have to be in the future-future.
You kind of missed it on the "same universe" one. In the time lapse while Fry is in the pod, after the aliens blast everything, there's a point where you see society rebuild up to a midieval point. Many agree that THAT is when is when disenchantment occurs.
Trinary was implemented in some experimental soviet computers, but the benefits are only ever really marginal. It's a lot more complex to implement and doesn't really do anything binary can't except divides multiples of 3 a little bit better, which can be made up for by just tossing more cheap binary material at it. There actually are some uses when you'd like to have "yes/no/maybe" without a fourth option, but this can basically be simulated with certain kinds of transistor that can be in a half-on state.
For that Bender theory, and it’ll probably be mentioned later, but rn I’ve paused at 6:27, that was probably caused by the electrical shock he got in the Pilot, when he goes from disagreeing with Fry, to agreeing with him Edit: 14:49 I knew it’d be mentioned again. Considering he says openly he’d jump off a cliff to Fry if he was programmed to, to then saying he’d bend what he wants, who he wants and when he wants after the shock, yeah, that likely screwed up some circutry to inhibit possible sentience from really taking hold in robots
The bender shock was not why he's evil. Remember the episode where they "see through the eyes of a bender unit" exhibit and it showed Leela looking at Fry shows "pose as friend, leave in ditch" or something similar. So that says that Bender units all see that
In the first season there’s a whole episode about there only being one last can of anchovies. In the next season the gang goes fishing and Hermes has an entire bucket full of them
I don’t think disenchantment is necessarily the future, remember that episode proved that time is circular and that everything happens in a loop. They even go through three of these loops in total. Judging by their facial expression they’re probably in the second world, seeing as they’re happy. Which means our cast of futurama isn’t in the same world as our cast from disenchantment, seeing as disenchantment is from the second world and futurama started in the first and ended in the third. Tho it does mean they come from a world with no Hitler, so that’s cool. Also if you look in the pilot of futurama, and again in genders big score you can see the world getting razed by aliens and one of the worlds is medieval style, castles and horses but with fry still alive they have some technology. It could be that disenchantment happens sometimes between 2000 and 3000 in the same world as futurama. Tho again, it would have to be a different loop.
Yo remember In the scene where fry is frozen and you see everything getting destroyed over and over… one of the times the world gets destroyed it looks like the disenchanted universe.
Can’t believe you didn’t mention the fact that the dog episode is completely undone later because fry actually goes back in time lives with him. I feel like that’s a big inconsistency that the community doesn’t appreciate.
I've got 2 continuity issues I've noticed, the first one being Zoidberg's time with Planet Express. In one episode, Zoidberg is celebrating his 10th year with the company, even though he had been with Hubert FAR longer than 10 years, Möbius Dick and The Tip Of The Zoidberg prove this. Also, one that I'm sure shouldn't be a thing, in "The Luck of The Fryish", Fry's brother Yancy named his own son Philip J. Fry as a tribute to Fry, who had been missing for years. In the movie Bender's Big Score, Bender, now in 2012, meets a ~4 year old Philip J. Fry, who directs him to "Uncle Phil". That Philip J. Fry shouldn't be named Philip J. Fry, as Philip J. Fry had gone back in time to the year 2000 and resumed his life there normally. Yancy would have no reason to name his son Philip J. Fry if Philip J. Fry had never gone missing.

Once in a great while they'd come do a mandatory check-in on us and nit pick about how our uniforms are dirty or have blood stains, guys ain't shaved, how the food sucks, why don't we have a decent latrine for them to use, why are guys walking outside without their BDU/ACU tops on or covers on, blah blah blah, and the thing is these high high brass/enlisted dudes never had to do things like we did or love how we did bc when they were still young and coming up, it was peace time in the 80s n sht, and by the time Iraq happened, they were already so far up the COC that they didn't _have_ to do the things we did bc they're driving a desk or flying a filing cabinet, plus they're too old, and then we'd come back home and they'd give this year jerking speech to the families about the hardships "they faced", when in reality those guys would visit for half a day and just talk mad sht and then leave back to their single man trailers with AC and built-in latrines and their cinnabon and TV.
I think the better term they could’ve used would be that he had a full on mental breakdown which remained ongoing. PTSD doesn’t directly make you any more or less intelligent obviously, but it can trigger dormant schizophrenia or mental disorders like how PTSD caused by childhood trauma can later on in young adults
i have cptsd and yeah it doesn’t make you like zapp, he’s just drunk on power
Fun fact: there's actually quite a few people who believe (or believed) that Nibbler's shadow was added to the pilot after it first aired. To prove to some of those people that the shadow was always there, one of my friends found, ripped, and uploaded a VHS recording of the original airing of Futurama's first episode, showing the shadow was always there.
Plus there were other ways of proving it; the season 1 DVD release has animatic and storyboard versions of the pilot and the shadow is in those as well.
My family used to watch it on the DVD bundles, made in the early 2000s before the movies, and Nibbler’s shadow was always there
@@drt1605 by literally showing a shadow. Absolute genius
That was my friend that proved it, but nice try 👌
@@joshj1953 nooo, no Josh, that was my friend who proved it, but nice try
@@Nathan-jt8zt Sorry Nathan, that was my friend that proved it, but nice try.👍🏾
A point on Bender becoming a criminal, I have an additional rub.
In the episode "The Birdbot of Ice-Catraz," when Bender is damaged, he reboots. When he reboots, he analyzes his surroundings...which are full of penguins. As a result, Bender opens his "penguin" file and acts and behaves as a penguin to fit in.
If this logic is applied to Bender in the pilot, it only makes sense that he would become a criminal as he "reboots" in the Hall of Criminals.
Not necessarily he was already stealing from the suicide booth with the coin on the string
@@jgreen2877 Is it *really* stealing? I mean, the suicide booth failed to kill him every time.
I think he is owed his money back. He paid for a service and the booth failed to deliver said service.
Semantics, I know, but now I am just having fun with the idea.
@@samuelzuleger5134 to follow off of that he didn't know it wouldn't work at the time though
Actually in that episode the first thing he sees when he reboots again is Leela and he scans her as human which alluded to her being a mutant and not an alien.
@@jgreen2877 maybe so, but immediately before he got electrocuted he couldn't bend the bars because he cared about the law, if only somewhat
Also about Bender's birth, we see him revert back to a dvd before he drops into the fountain of aging.
IIRC he reverts to a CD-ROM containing the schematics needed to build him.
Never let the truth get in the way of a good joke
But season 6 he was born a toddler
That's definitely the bending software installation disk.
@@Realfoxy_985Gmodthat was the best bender origin we got
I think the contradiction in Bender's origin and Bender supposedly changing because of the shock can explain each other. The original origin story was what Bender think happened, what happened with Hermes is what actually happened.
My thoughts exactly
Exactly, Bender's pre-programmed memories are just stock footage.
That makes sense.
Not to mention how many times they went mucking around with time jumps, time travel, etc. They could have hopped to an entirely different universe with a different back story.
Bravo
The bender not using binary theory is supported in s4 e8 Godfellas, In which bender states "Hey, that galaxy's signaling in binary! I gotta signal back! But I only know enough binary to ask where the bathroom is." If Bender ran off of binary he wouldn't only know one sentence
Yet later on he sees binary and gets scared enough to run out of the room. So, obviously he was just bullshiting.
Yeah, he also said “I think I saw a 2” which also wouldn’t be possible if he only ran off binary
I love the idea of Bender, a robot who you'd assume would know binary, only seems to know very limited conversational binary. That's hilarious lol
@@wolfetteplays8894 Well he saw that in his dream. Him seeing a 2 in his dream doesnt nessecarily mean the 2 would exist outside of the dream. I see plenty of things in my dream that dont exist in the real world. Actually if anything i think it leans more towards the 2 not existing outside of the dream, since he was afraid of it. If 2 existed in his code, he probably wouldnt be scared of it in a dream. He probably wouldnt even mention it.
If he was really using 0 1 2 this is known as a trinary system. Or rather it’s -1 0 1. it’s a less fast but more efficient system the soviets worked with a bit. Unfortunately it’s hard to use so never really caught on but it exists!
14:20 Disenchantment can still be set in the past (well kind of). It's true that Dr. Farnsworth's time machine only travels to the future, but towards the end of the episode, when they reach the end of time, the universe ends and restarts a new big bang from scratch and this new universe plays out identically to its previous iteration that we had been following in the show up until this point (let's call them Universe A & B). It's very possible that Fry, Bender, and Farnsworth when seen in Disenchantment are simply travelling forward in time through universe B.
So the show itself is set in the past of Universe B, but because it is the same history as Universe A, we can just say it's taking place in the past.
Also when Fry gets frozen in the first place, we see a Medieval style period about halfway between the future and the past. It could possibly take place then
What I was thinking during it, I think this makes more sense because nothing in the future hints at disenchantment making sense
@@dongojangle106 which doesn't make sense, as after old New York is destroyed, a forest grows, then becomes a midevel period, then more trees and then new NYC. But if all that happened, forests and other civilizations, then how did old NYC survive?
@@fryloc359 and also under new new york as sewers
There’s more of a Universe A, B, and C situation. Fry, Bender, and Farnsworth disappear from Universe A, accidentally skip over Universe B, then end up in Universe C, killing the original. That means Universe B has the Fry, Bender, and Farnsworth skip over universe C and go to the next one, universe D, etc etc continuing into infinity. Uh but that’s not relevant to OP’s comment lol
One I think is missing here: Every Character with the name “Waterfall” dies.
And their death is always followed by another background character, who is never seen in the episode who is later revealed to also be named “Waterfall”.
This plot thread ends in Into the Wild Green Yonder with Number 9 Guy, having his name be revealed as “Waterfall”. He then dies.
I think 9 guy lived
It was Hutch Waterfall who got killed by the leach
@@xaviar10 yeah, 9 lived. Cause an episode after the movie had 9 ran a survaillance supply shop.
Nobody swore to avenge the waterfall that Lrr ate, did they? Unless I missed it. It's Free Waterfall Jr., I think. He says this is not happening... And no one swears to avenge him.
@@foxxie_gal87 they didn’t. They probably didn’t have the idea for the Waterfall’s story or that he was so preachy, even the rest of his family didn’t like him
@@xaviar10 I guess I haven’t seen Into the Wild Green Yonder in a while Lol.
Futurama bridges the gap from shows that are essentially just animated sitcoms, like the Simpsons, to what we see from adult animations today. I think that is why continuity is both really important, yet will be thrown away for a joke at the same time.
I agree. There's both an overarching storyline, but it can be subverted at any time for comedy. One of the best animated shows imo
Agreed
When you can hop between universes, you get a bit of leeway with continuity. Can we prove the continuity/backstory is from the existing universe the current episode is set in? And how would ever even know?
Zaps PTSD doesn't hold water. PTD will not make a warrior a coward. The entire joke with Zap is that he's a coward even the way he killed the robots it was just cowardly
When they show leelas dad as a young sewer surfer, his mouth is horizontal when he's a teenager but as an adult, it's vertical so the theory that he mutated more since his first showing holds up
Heck, an episode had Leela mutate more and grow more tentacles on her body
I always thought his mouth was horizontal until he spoke or opened it, then it swapped to vertical
@@connorlenihan2015 it is but in the scene where he's a teenager and surfing, he opens his mouth horizontally whereas later on it's vertical when he speaks
I still remember the adverts on TV for Futurama before it was released. I was really sceptical. I remember being blown away. It's amazing that this show has held up so well.
This is the first time I've ever been early to an iceberg, I'm so excited!
Welcome!
I never really got into the idea that the shock, changed Bender. He was ripping off the suicide machine, when we first met him, before the shock happened.
I think the shock rebooted him. In the episode "The Birdbot of Ice-Catraz," Bender is damaged and rebooted. When he reboots, he is surrounded by penguins and thus follows penguin programming. When Bender got shocked, he was in the Hall of Criminals in the Head Museum. Thus, he would reboot as a criminal.
As far as the suicide booths, Bender units always have a back up...since Bender doesn't have one, and is thus, technically, mortal, he may have a fear or hatred of death and, by extension, the suicide booths. The only way he could get at them was by ripping them off.
Either that, or its a silly gig in a cartoon sit-com that had low prospects of making it.
Well it is implied he's killing himself because he found out the girders he's been bending have been used to make suicide booths. Could be that he's ripping them off not out of greed or love of crime, but because he doesn't want to endorse the suicide booths by giving them money
The Futurama sleeper phenomenon from what I’ve read is because the show follows such a natural flow of dialogue that it feels like witnessing an actual conversation, as compared to say, laugh track shows. It makes the brain feel safe and as though you’re being watched over
One theory I have is that Zap Branagin is also from the year 1990~; he seems to have decent knowledge of 70's-90's music, and other things. It would make sense, he tricked people into believing he was a grand commander by means of old shows/movies. This gives credence to why he is completely stupid about alien races, why he was uninformed about the Star Trek wars (not only because he didn't live through the backlash but to distance his knowledge from the clear shatter role he has developed.)
Zapp: I want the music from the 80s!
Kif: Which "80s" sir?
Zapp: There's only one 80s to me.
I always thought how it's a joke about how characters in sci-fi always listen to music from the 20th or early 21st century, because apparently no new music gets made for hundreds of years
With continuity in futurama, a good rule of thumb is that if it's referenced twice, it's canon (with exceptions for some early episodes).
I want atleast 50 episodes of futurama. I could care less if they come back 100 times. Still one of the best shows of my child hood.
I actively use Futurama as my background noise for falling asleep. I know the show so well that it lets my probably ADHD brain flip to autopilot, so any episode works for me. Interesting to know there's a subreddit dedicated to it, lol!
Same, it doesn’t make me turn over to look because I can already see what’s happening in my head haha
Hey, me too! I'm glad to see others do it too. I have probably rewatched the series over 100x as a result. I used to watch South Park like this, but nothing is as good as Futurama. I play it as background for more than just sleeping. I'll actually watch it sometimes and pause it when I get up.
@@erict3728 I've used a couple, too. Alien, Rick and Morty, and the classic Winnie the Pooh are the only other ones I've used a couple times. Futurama's still #1!
I just started using futurama to fall asleep to last week! I’ve already finished and restarted the series twice, and yet I’m still somehow seeing things I’ve never seen before.
Anyone care to share their favorite seasons to start as they go to bed and their least favorites? My favorite is season 1 and I also like the extended/movie season(6 I think). I least like the later seasons like 7 and beyond(not that I don't like them, I just like the early ones better)
I think the Easter egg showing then in the time machine just goes to show they really did a full loop regardless whether disenchantment is set before or after Futurama, would be interesting if there could be such a difference in technology, medicine and more over continents..
I remember seeing Nibbler's shadow and I thought it was the shadow of an owl for some reason and never thought about it since. Good catch!
Fry actually gets tipped back in his chair by nibler in to the cryo pod which is why the pizza box says to not tip the delivery boy. The writers are geniuses
I really hope we get more of the same, good ol' Futurama in the new season.
And not some modern, one continuous story binge series that ties up every loose end brought up in previous seasons.
For real. When they try too hard to tie down every loose end it kills the magic
I hope it would instead mock those people. "Tie up loose ends? F you, have some more!"
welp
Late comedy legend and former Simpsons regular Phil Hartman (Troy McClure) was gonna voice Zapp Brannigan early in development. After he passed away, Billy West took on role doing a semi Hartman impression. Fry’s first name is an homage to him as well.
the hypnotoad's noise being a turbine is very interesting
I always thought it was the sound of microwave plasma. Stick a lit match in the microwave and cover with a glass make sure you put something under to allow airflow and you too can make plasma lol the sound is awesome.
lol found a vid of it on RUclips so you dont have to try ruclips.net/video/l0u8Vtf2GoQ/видео.html
I have watched the entire series probably 5 times.
I did it repeatedly as a kid and then again recently.
I don't think I could get behind the series if I started now. But it holds a special place in my heart forever.
What should I talk about next? Should I do a Part 2? Comment here!

Nibbler didn't push fry, he convinced Fry to push over himself
Scooty Puff Jr. SUUUUUUUCKS!
The shock that turned Bender criminal could also be why he's imaginative and can see a 2.
There's no such thing as twos
Iceberg time! Keep up the incredible work, these are some of the best videos on this platform, man!
In the Mother's Day episode, there are a pair of glasses that allow you to see through the eyes of a Bending Unit, and it has a whole bunch of criminal targets. Bender puts them on and says, "These give me a headache." That's the only continuity thing I know of to contradict the Pilot Shock idea.
he also scammed the suicide booth before he got shocked
honestly i think the disenchantment connection theory is just meant to be a fun little reference rather than proof that they're in the same universe. not everything needs to be connected.
Yeah, otherwise Adventure Time is also set in this same universe lol
Agreed. Ruins the "magic" of cartoons not having to make 100% sense. Heck, even if Nibbler pushing fry was added later, I wouldn't care.
Dude I didn't know Futurama sleepers was a thing.
I too used to fall asleep to Futurama a lot for several years when it was on Netflix (is it still there?) But I just love the show that much and it's entertaining enough to watch repeatedly and familiar enough to where I won't stay up all night waiting to see the next cliffhanger.
The thing about the parents mutating more as they aged makes sense given the episode when Lila starts to grow into a full squid
I used to fall asleep to Futurama almost nightly before I met the woman that is now my wife. I never would have thought it was something so many others did, let alone that there would be a Reddit page about it. One of my favorite episodes specifically to fall asleep to was A Taste of Freedom
in Season 4, Episode 5. No rhyme or reason why that was the one I liked before bed.
And here I thought I was special lol. Met my wife about 8 years ago, and kinda stopped watching it so often after we moved in together.
@@englishmuffin5274 Glad to know there are more of us out there. 😎
The final scene at the end of Seymour waiting for Fry in jurassic bark was a reference to an actual dog in japan that waited at the train station for his owner, who was a soldier in WWII and never came home, dogs are truly man’s best friend
The married with children reference was because the voice actress for leela played pegg on the show itself. She was also on 8 simple rules for dating my teenage daughter
I love the phrase "Futurama writer with PhD in applied mathematics"
It bothers me that people say Futurama "invented" that math theorem, When Stargate: SG1 did the exact same concept 11 years earlier in 1999. Futurama wasn't the first, and it wasn't new. The math was even explained almost the exact same way.
No lie, “Jurassic Bark” is the only episode of Futurama that I cannot watch. I lost my Great Dane a few weeks before that episode first aired and I ended up having a right proper emotional fracture when I watched it. To this day, I just can’t do it.
That is one hell of a wonderful episode. Any cartoon that can elicit such a powerful cascade of emotions from its writing is astounding.
My ex-wife cannot watch this episode either. She was crying her eyes out when she watched it with me. I watched it with my kids and she walked in on us. She immediately walked out because she could not watch it again.
Same. It gets me every time :'(
I think Zoidberg’s lack of understanding on human anatomy might be that most of the aliens we see have one or multiple quirks to their biologies.
Kif’s species can have naturally pregnant males and turn into flies when they get old and the decapodians have claws as strong as a bender unit’s hand and can squirt ink and weird stuff from their mouth tendrils.
Humans are kinda boring in comparison, so he probably expects all kinds of wacky biological stuff that simply isn’t there
Ok but can we talk about the "Fry frozen" sequence. We are later told that old New York is covered with New New York. So how can we explain the cryobuilding and window shot for that part? we see years go by and aliens attack, but always at the same level.
It could have been hoisted up as the company still existed and the building was still in use?
I just assume it’s one of the only buildings left untouched during that time
I asked this a few days ago lol. Why did they build a new new york on top of the old one but not over the cryo building?
@@ASMR_Junkie they did build over the old cryo building they go to Old New York in game of tones where the ship is parked on top of it.
The big question i have is how did old new york survive, even though there were forests and other civilizations built on top of it?
Good video. There are soo many things you can add to this. I've watched or listened to atleast one Futurama episode a night since originaly airing. I cant fall asleeep without it. I setup a rasberry pie next to my bed that loops throught all the episodes 24 hours a day so i just pop in headphones when laying down. (I also have episodes on my phone and laptop for when i travel.)
This is definitely reinvigorated my love for Futurama and I haven't had since I was a kid!
The whole body switch thing was done by Stargate SG-1 some 10 or 15 years earlier. BTW if you haven't done SG-1, Atlantis or SGU can you do it, either separately or as one franchise under the banner Stargate, doesn't matter either one could work.
I actually remember seeing the original pilot back when it first aired and I never noticed the Nibbler shadow but obviously if you’re not expecting it you’re not going to look for it on the first go. I do think it’s likely that the shadow was originally there. Nibbler and his specieis have this way of always adding to Futurama canon. The main conflict in the Futurama universe tend to involve Nibbler and his species. Their war with the Floating Brains seem to be the main conflict in the series and it seems like this conflict drives most of the happenings in the Universe. Explicetly or implicetly.
I'm happy Jurassic bark was the way it was. The connection I share with dogs is just soo much deeper cause you're codependent on each other. They rely on you for everything and you get a best friend out of it. They can have a good life after you leave but forming such a strong bond with something is just different than family (even family I really love).
Your profile pic
As a die hard futurama fan this video is interesting. Was hoping for more in depth entries along with more entries overall. Definitely missed a lot of things but no fear as I have time to throw away!
- The Lost Adventure. viewable via buying the futurama game for PS2, Beast With a Billion Backs DVD or of course reuploads on RUclips. A game where Mom attempts to take over the universe and the crew trying to stop them
- Benders life before Planet Express. Speculating about his past is quite fun, especially since it’s quite unknown. It’s shown in the pilot he’s obviously in a dark place also being surprised by being cared about. We’re also aware his father is dead.
In episodes such as a Pharaoh to Remember or Godfellas he’s shown to have insecurity in his meaning in the universe. In Ghost in the Machines he’s shown to quickly snap when hearing Fry didn’t value robot lives as much as human ones. Behaviors like this usually happen due to past traumas (most likely emotional and/or physical neglect). It’s very possible his life before the show takes place was incredibly depressing
- DVD extras. In the DVDs you can check out a lot of the other options for some new interesting futurama contents! Including, but not limited to: storyboards/animatics, deleted scenes, 3D model show offs and extra images/drawings!
- Radiorama. A pretty unknown futurama episode. It’s a podcast! Listen to it on Spotify if it seems interesting
That’s all the time I have to wast for now. Cya
I think the fact that they created a legit theorem exclusively for one of their episodes, says a lot about the overall quality of the damn show.
that's it. now you're 5 for 5 of iceberg videos for my favorite tv shows
We will never get another show this smart in my lifetime.
Rick and morty sometimes hits right.
found ur content in recommended got to say I'm really happy with what I've seen !
Glad you’ve enjoyed it!
I came across this RUclips video at random, and the episode that happens to be playing on my TV at the time is the first one you mentioned (S6 E10). woah!!!!
Imagine surviving to the year 3,000 just to die of Bonitis.
nice pfp lol
7:56 was so inspirational, I subscribed
The bender shock is disproven by the Mothers Day episode. Leela looks through the eyes of a bending unit and looks at fry. The eyes say ‘pose as friend, rob later’ meaning an unaffected bending unit would also rob fry, making it a criminal.
What a great video. Finally, someone who appreciates Futurama like I do.
I appreciate your hypnotoad transition
Wait, WHAT?! I thought I was the “only one” that fell asleep to futurama for years. No favorite episodes, I’d play it on auto play. Obviously I know other people probably did but I didn’t know it was a thing...
I got a fact. David X Cohen actually auditioned to play Bender before John DiMaggio did. Cuz they were having a hard time finding Bender's voice. And people said he sounded like a robot.
I'm really curious to what that would've sounded like and what they said no to
@@Solid_Hank He said it was really bad and flat and glad it was lost.
And Phil Hartman was supposed to be the voice of Zap Brannigan. 🙁
As a dog owner and lover, Seymour waiting for Frye still crushes me to this day. I can't watch it.
In reference to the number 2 in Benders dream theory, during the episode where he found religion, he ended his binary prayer with the number "2"
Omg I always thought I was the only one who likes falling asleep to Futurama! I’ve always needed something playing in the background to sleep (even as a kid) but Futurama is by far the most comforting and helps me get the best sleep. American Dad or Scrubs work as well for when I need a change of pace but they really don’t come close in comfort level and I have no idea why.
Hey 10k, video's looking pretty good! Nice work :>
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed!
I think I always remembered seeing the 2 in Bender's dream but I never took it as anything other than a throwaway joke.
That Hypnotoad part got me good.
Hypnotoad's sound is not a wind turbine backwards. It is the sound caused by plugging in a piece of gear into the wrong input in the recording studio, as told on the commentary of one of the episodes on the DVD series. The sound was then labeled "angry machine".
Falling asleep to Futurama has been a thing for me for a while now 🤯
Oh man I LOVE falling asleep to Futurama.
It’s so good for some reason
It’s funny that I didn’t know there was a subreddit about sleeping to Futurama because I sleep every night to Futurama, it’s my comfort show I love it so much. On a side note, one of the biggest continuity errors I’ve noticed watching the show is the concept of dogs. In Jurassic Bark dogs have never been heard of by anyone in the future before until Fry tried bringing back Seymour. But, if I remember correctly, before that episode and after there have been many times where there have been mentions of dogs/puppies and have shown dogs/puppies. A smaller continuity error that requires more attention is definitely the fact that Kif’s green color has changed multiple times in episodes and scenes but it’s not that big of a deal/difference
you're gonna have to point to an episode where characters dont know about dogs, lmao, i've seen the show so many times and just don't think thats an explicit thing, they just dont talk about dogs a lot
It wasn’t that they didn’t know about dogs. They didn’t know what 2000s dogs were like, except that they existed
Cool vid. I'm not entirely sold on the "no death" theory though. Take "the Sting" for example. Why would Leela be concerned about Fry dying if there is no death? Or what ends up being revealed is that she's in a coma and the rest of the crew is concerned about her death. Or, for example, "Fun On A Bun" where Fry is presumed to have fallen into a sausage grinder at Oktoberfest. A sausage grinder is not a suicide booth.
Anyway, still a cool video. Hope my comment helps the Al Gore Rhythm.
Also, isn't everyone afraid of Santa Clause who is trying to kill them?
No, he meant no death by natural causes. Old age, disease (as long as you get medical care), yeti-ism, etc. You can still die from being crushed or stabbed or stung by a giant space wasp.
Not to mention the anthology of interest where the hypothetical human Bender ends up dying of natural causes
Guys guys. It's specifically NATURAL death that can't happen. You don't die of old age, or disease. Only something ELSE killing you. Like Santa, the giant bees or getting hit by a spaceship.
@@eminakostic3406 killing is natural though
Futurama could also be considered to be part of the Family guy/ American dad universe since family guy did their cross over with the Simpsons.
Also I think Futurama inspired something in real life, from omicron persei 8 we get well.... you know and every time it would be said in the news I would add the Persei 8.
literally same everytime i hear the omicron variant brought up, my mind immediately fills it in with Persei 8

@10kproductions people die all the time. Rampant cloning is a common place. The professor has been cloning everyone throughout the series. In the episode with the scammers they open the safe and find samples of everyone who works with the professor. A very long running element is that neither Fry, Leela or Bender ever remember Scruffy, the janitor. That is because the memories of the clones are retained via cell memory. Hermes, Zoidberg and Amy were all cloned at the same time as Scruffy so they already knew him. Fry, Leela and Bender were cloned later and before they met Scruffy. You can deduce that there are more accidents than previously disclosed in the story lines. Leela is regularly asking Scruffy who he is and he, in turn, never knows who she is either. The professor found it too expensive to replace his crews so he decided to clone them for the economy of it and because he really does not like change as it is too confusing to him. So, clones of everyone is the way to go. The professor is also known for his cannibalistic ideas (Hermes jumping off the planet express building, Fry having blood that is sweet enough to put on pancakes, etcetera). Even the episode in which everyone is transplanted into everyone else, Amy makes reference to the smell of the burnt primates in the chairs of the device and the proffesor states that he has gotten used to it and cannot smell it anymore. The professor is also saavy about litigation with surviving family members (Hermes becoming a robot). The professor has an endless supply of experimental bodies to do with however he pleases and no one will ever know what he is doing because they are all revived at the point of their last memory before death (Fry and Leela robots for example). I could go on...the anteaters are there to consume any biological remnants of experiments.
I did not know this show was coming back, but now I’m very excited
As the time travel episode involved going so far into the future that the whole universe rebooted, Disenchantment doesn't have to be in the future-future.
It’s coming back?! That’s great
Edit: just watched the whole show for the first time a few months ago
You kind of missed it on the "same universe" one. In the time lapse while Fry is in the pod, after the aliens blast everything, there's a point where you see society rebuild up to a midieval point. Many agree that THAT is when is when disenchantment occurs.
I have a Seymour tattoo on my forearm...and a Robot Devil with Fry's hands. Good stuff
Falling asleep to futurama the best thing ever bro
So Lela’s parents didn’t mutate more as they aged because we see them in a flash back the day Lela was born. And they look like how they are now.
Trinary was implemented in some experimental soviet computers, but the benefits are only ever really marginal. It's a lot more complex to implement and doesn't really do anything binary can't except divides multiples of 3 a little bit better, which can be made up for by just tossing more cheap binary material at it. There actually are some uses when you'd like to have "yes/no/maybe" without a fourth option, but this can basically be simulated with certain kinds of transistor that can be in a half-on state.
For that Bender theory, and it’ll probably be mentioned later, but rn I’ve paused at 6:27, that was probably caused by the electrical shock he got in the Pilot, when he goes from disagreeing with Fry, to agreeing with him
Edit: 14:49 I knew it’d be mentioned again. Considering he says openly he’d jump off a cliff to Fry if he was programmed to, to then saying he’d bend what he wants, who he wants and when he wants after the shock, yeah, that likely screwed up some circutry to inhibit possible sentience from really taking hold in robots
The bender shock was not why he's evil. Remember the episode where they "see through the eyes of a bender unit" exhibit and it showed Leela looking at Fry shows "pose as friend, leave in ditch" or something similar. So that says that Bender units all see that
1 & 0 represents On and Off in switching bits.
lmao i can’t believe there are other people who fall asleep to futurama every night. i’ve been doing that for YEARS
In the first season there’s a whole episode about there only being one last can of anchovies. In the next season the gang goes fishing and Hermes has an entire bucket full of them
As far as I can remember I've always noticed the 2 in Bender's dream, though I've always assumed the presence of the 2 was just a throwaway joke.
....this is the greatest RUclips channel.......must subscribe..
I was going to subscribe. You didn't have to hypnotoad me.
I don’t think disenchantment is necessarily the future, remember that episode proved that time is circular and that everything happens in a loop. They even go through three of these loops in total. Judging by their facial expression they’re probably in the second world, seeing as they’re happy. Which means our cast of futurama isn’t in the same world as our cast from disenchantment, seeing as disenchantment is from the second world and futurama started in the first and ended in the third. Tho it does mean they come from a world with no Hitler, so that’s cool.
Also if you look in the pilot of futurama, and again in genders big score you can see the world getting razed by aliens and one of the worlds is medieval style, castles and horses but with fry still alive they have some technology. It could be that disenchantment happens sometimes between 2000 and 3000 in the same world as futurama. Tho again, it would have to be a different loop.
Yo remember In the scene where fry is frozen and you see everything getting destroyed over and over… one of the times the world gets destroyed it looks like the disenchanted universe.
Bender having 3 values instead of 2 in his CPU will make him a Quantum computing device.
subscribe button hit, comment left, all hail the HypnoToad
Can’t believe you didn’t mention the fact that the dog episode is completely undone later because fry actually goes back in time lives with him.
I feel like that’s a big inconsistency that the community doesn’t appreciate.
Its another timeline (Lars One). Probably got collapsed when Lars died.
I've got 2 continuity issues I've noticed, the first one being Zoidberg's time with Planet Express. In one episode, Zoidberg is celebrating his 10th year with the company, even though he had been with Hubert FAR longer than 10 years, Möbius Dick and The Tip Of The Zoidberg prove this.
Also, one that I'm sure shouldn't be a thing, in "The Luck of The Fryish", Fry's brother Yancy named his own son Philip J. Fry as a tribute to Fry, who had been missing for years.
In the movie Bender's Big Score, Bender, now in 2012, meets a ~4 year old Philip J. Fry, who directs him to "Uncle Phil".
That Philip J. Fry shouldn't be named Philip J. Fry, as Philip J. Fry had gone back in time to the year 2000 and resumed his life there normally.
Yancy would have no reason to name his son Philip J. Fry if Philip J. Fry had never gone missing.
I have feel asleep to Futurama almost every night for the last 8 years
Ahh yes I’ve heard of that community. I grew up watching it on FXX, and have rewatched it so many times. It’s greatly written
