The image for this meme comes from the ‘Futurama’ episode “The Lesser of Two Evils,” which you can see for yourself in the video below. The meme is best known for the image “not sure if trolling, or just stupid,” but it’s still used whenever someone needs to express skepticism or confusion. Check out some great Futurama Fry memes we found all from this week.
Planet Expressin henkilökunta (myös aluksi muita toruva professori myöhemmin itse) lähettää suojaamattomia tietoja internetiin ja tietämättään myy Planet Expressin alastomien muukalaisten valtaan. Nämä löytävät Fryn takapuolesta löytyvän Bender-tatuoinnin silmästä puhuttavan koodin aikamatkustukseen. Alastomat muukalaiset ottavat Benderin valtaansa ja käskevät tämän hakea arvoaarteita menneisyydestä ja tämän jälkeen jäädä tuhansiksi vuosiksi maan alle piiloon tullen takaisin myöhemmin, joka tuntuu muille vain muutamalta sekunnilta. Aikamatkustusportilla voi matkustaa vain taaksepäin, ja jokainen sen myötä luotu klooni tuhoutuu, minkä takia Fry tulee myös sotkuun mukaan matkustaessaan takaisin joulukuun 31. päivään vuonna 1999.
The Winchester brothers have faced many a demon foe. But dealing with your teenage parents…well that's a different matter. In this episode, the brothers are sent back in time to witness their family's secret past. This means fighting an evil demon that wants to kill everyone. Lives are lost and questions are left unanswered, but hey, kicking demon butt is a plus!
Earth has a unified government headed by the President of Earth. Richard Nixon's head is elected to the position in Season Two, and holds the office in subsequent episodes. Earth's capital is Washington, D.C., and the flag of Earth is similar in design to the flag of the United States, with the western hemisphere displayed in place of the fifty stars. The show is set mostly in the former United States, and other parts of the world are rarely shown. Citizens of Earth are referred to as "Earthicans", and English is shown to be the primary language of almost every sentient species.
It was originally intended for the Futurama theme to be remixed in every episode. This was first trialled in the opening sequence for "Mars University", however it was realized upon broadcast that the sound did not transmit well through most television sets and the idea was subsequently abandoned. Despite this, beatbox renditions of the theme performed by Billy West and John DiMaggio are used for the episodes "Bender Should Not Be Allowed on TV" and "Spanish Fry".
In late 2002, Cartoon Network acquired exclusive cable syndication rights to Futurama for a reported ten million dollars. In January 2003, the network began airing Futurama episodes as the centerpiece to the expansion of their Adult Swim cartoon block. In October 2005, Comedy Central picked up the cable syndication rights to air Futurama's 72-episode run at the start of 2008, following the expiration of Cartoon Network's contract. It was cited as the largest and most expensive acquisition in the network's history. It airs every night on Comedy Central and WGN. A Comedy Central teaser trailer announced the return of Futurama March 23, 2008, which was Bender's Big Score divided into four episodes followed by the other three movies. The series also airs in syndication in many countries around the world.
Futurama's setting is a backdrop, and the writers are not above committing continuity errors if they serve to further the gags. For example, while the pilot episode implies that the previous Planet Express crew was killed by a space wasp, the later episode "The Sting" is based on the crew having been killed by space bees instead. The "world of tomorrow" setting is used to highlight and lampoon issues of today and to parody the science fiction genre.
There are three alternative alphabets that appear often in the background of episodes, usually in the forms of graffiti, advertisements, or warning labels. Nearly all messages using alternative scripts transliterate directly into English. The first alphabet consists of abstract characters and is referred to as Alienese, a simple substitution cipher from the Latin alphabet. The second alphabet uses a more complex modular addition code, where the "next letter is given by the summation of all previous letters plus the current letter". The codes often provide additional jokes for fans dedicated enough to decode the messages. The third language sometimes used is Hebrew. Aside from these alphabets, most of the displayed wording on the show uses the Latin alphabet.
In July 2011, it was reported that the show had been picked up for syndication by both local affiliates and WGN America. Broadcast of old episodes began in September 2011. On September 19, 2011, WGN America began re-running Futurama, and now airs the series weeknights during the overnight hours, and once on Saturday nights. Futurama has since doubled its viewership in syndication.
While the show has survived cancellation before and may do so again, head writer David X. Cohen claims the staff has written Wednesday’s episode to serve as an official series finale. Thus ends a show that, while only a moderate success ratings-wise, boasted a legion of devoted fans as well as some of the smartest, most creative comedy writers in the business.
In addition to the main cast, Frank Welker voiced Nibbler and Kath Soucie voiced Cubert and several supporting and minor characters. Like The Simpsons, many episodes of Futurama feature guest voices from a wide range of professions, including actors, entertainers, bands, musicians, and scientists. Many guest-stars voiced supporting characters, although many voiced themselves, usually as their own head preserved in a jar. Recurring guest stars included Dawnn Lewis (as Hermes' wife LaBarbara), Tom Kenny, Dan Castellaneta (as the Robot Devil), Al Gore, and George Takei, among others.
In addition to traditional cartoon drawing, Rough Draft Studios often used CGI for fast or complex shots, such as the movement of spaceships, explosions, nebulae, large crowds, and snow scenes. The opening sequence was entirely rendered in CGI. The CGI was rendered at 24 frames per second (as opposed to hand-drawn often done at 12 frames per second) and the lack of artifacts made the animation appear very smooth and fluid. CGI characters looked slightly different due to spatially "cheating" hand-drawn characters by drawing slightly out of proportion or off-perspective features to emphasize traits of the face or body, improving legibility of an expression. PowerAnimator was used to draw the comic-like CGI.
Constance Shulman, better known for her role in Orange is the New Black, was also the voice for Patty Mayonnaise in Doug. She was recruited from, believe it or not, the mayonnaise commercial above. Good thing horseradish wasn't popular back then.
Religion is still a prominent part of society, although the dominant religions have evolved. A merging of the major religious groups of the 20th century has resulted in the First Amalgamated Church, while Voodoo is now mainstream. New religions include Oprahism, Robotology, and the banned religion of Star Trek fandom. Religious figures include Father Changstein-El-Gamal, the Robot Devil, Reverend Lionel Preacherbot, and passing references to the Space Pope, who appears to be a large crocodile-like creature. Several major holidays have robots associated with them, including the murderous Robot Santa and Kwanzaa-bot. While very few episodes focus exclusively on religion within the Futurama universe, they do cover a wide variety of subjects including predestination, prayer, the nature of salvation, and religious conversion.
The most notorious time traveler on this list is Marty Mcfly. Sent back in time to 1955, Marty inadvertently becomes the romantic love interest of his teenage mother. Awkward. To fix his timeline and make sure he’s even born, Marty must bring his parents together. With a little rock and roll Marty manages to save the day and himself.
When Comedy Central began negotiating for the rights to air Futurama reruns, Fox suggested that there was a possibility of also creating new episodes. Negotiations were already underway with the possibility of creating two or three straight-to-DVD films. When Comedy Central committed to sixteen new episodes, it was decided that four films would be produced. On April 26, 2006, Groening noted in an interview that co-creator David X. Cohen and numerous writers from the original series would be returning to work on the movies. All the original voice actors participated. In February 2007, Groening explained the format of the new stories: " writing them as movies and then we're going to chop them up, reconfigure them, write new material and try to make them work as separate episodes."
Now, it's quite simple to defend yourself against a man armed with a banana. First of all you force him to drop the banana; then, second, you eat the banana, thus disarming him. You have now rendered him 'elpless. - Monty Python
In the United States, the series aired on Fox from March 28, 1999, to August 10, 2003, before ceasing production. Futurama also aired in reruns on Cartoon Network's Adult Swim from 2002 to 2007, until the network's contract expired. It was revived in 2007 as four direct-to-video films; the last of which was released in early 2009. Comedy Central entered into an agreement with 20th Century Fox Television to syndicate the existing episodes and air the films as 16 new, half-hour episodes, constituting a fifth season.

Crazy Credits During the opening, old 1930's cartoons are played on a giant monitor and are different each time. In the episode "Roswell That Ends Well", the cartoon featured in the opening was played in the episode on a small TV. Also when the title appears, a new message appears every time. See more »
This week, TV fans will bid adieu to a show that has endured its fair share of road bumps: Matt Groening and David X. Cohen’s sci-fi/comedy extravaganza, Futurama. Having originally aired for four seasons on Fox, Futurama was taken off the schedule in the wake of its low ratings. Years later, booming DVD sales and a syndication on Adult Swim convinced the network to order four films as an official fifth season. Soon, the show was picked up by Comedy Central in 2010 and new episodes were ordered. Earlier this year, however, Comedy Central announced that it would not be renewing the series.

Bender's Big Score has an extended opening sequence, introducing each of the main characters. In The Beast with a Billion Backs and Bender's Game the ship passes through the screen's glass and temporarily becomes part of the environment depicted therein—a pastiche of Disney's Steamboat Willie and Yellow Submarine respectively—before crashing through the screen glass on the way out. In Into the Wild Green Yonder, a completely different opening sequence involves a trip through a futuristic version of Las Vegas located on Mars. The theme tune is sung by Seth MacFarlane and is different from the standard theme tune. The end of the film incorporates a unique variation of the opening sequence; as the Planet Express Ship enters a wormhole, it converts into a pattern of lights similar to the lights that appear in the opening sequence.
