CodfishCartographer posted:I'm convinced they did it not to actually reference AitF, but instead to reference the Simpsons referencing AitF back in the 90s. New Simpsons seems to reference golden era seasons fairly often, and I suspect this is just more of that. They aren't even trying to target nostalgia for AitF, they're just targeting Simpsons nostalgia. My first thought, so help me, was that they were spoofing Family Guy spoofing AitF I know that makes no sense because FG's is actually an original song, but that was my impulse

The rosebud episode is like fifty years late to the punch. And don’t even get me started on all the lame, out of date Godfather references!!!”

It's been said that you could recreate A Clockwork Orange, scene for scene, using clips from The Simpsons. Again that's a cultural reference though

SEX BURRITO posted:Marge raped Homer when she was into bodybuilding. It was hard to enjoy the rest of the episode after that scene. It was always weird and a bit uncomfortable when Futurama would do obvious fan service and fetish poo poo. But it was a bit more tolerable because the writing was better (I think we can all agree that however you feel about Futurama’s later seasons or how its original run compares to the Golden Years, that its original run was better than Zombie Simpsons) and because, you know, Leela and Amy were already a bit sexualized - and sexual - so it felt less out of place. Plus, you know, neither Leela nor Amy were based on the creator’s mom.

Amazon Women In The Mood was a good episode but there was either an episode or a movie where Leela & Amy were like, wrestling centaurs or something and it weirded me out. I think it bothered me probably because the episode wasn't otherwise good enough to distract me from what they were doing.

That was the MAIN reason I never gave the new Futurama seasons a chance. Something like the very first post-movies episode is about Leela and Zap being stranded on a deserted planet and they ended up boning and I was like “uh that’s literally all of Leela’s character development with both Zap and Fry completely chucked out the window for a weird fan fiction plot” and that’s when it occurred to me that current Futurama staff were all extremely online nerds my age and that they probably all had crude caveman drawings of Leela with giant boobies and it was just gonna be them writing the episodes they’d been dreaming of since they were 13. Nothing I’ve seen from the movies or post movie seasons tells me I’m wrong. I also just finished up a run of Kong of the Hill. I really enjoyed S1-S8 and then Lucky showed up and my will to continue tanked like a stone. Is this a good stopping point? Are their any good episodes where Lucky isn’t inexplicably the main focus?
