Luck of the Fryrish>Jurassic Bark

Good taste, user.

Good taste, user

I watched it again yesterday, I don't agree with you. I felt nothing during LotF and didn't make special note of it the first time through either.

Good taste, user.

>liking a dog more than a human
wrong

That means you actually have an older brother

but the human had a great life and lived to his full potential

Amazon Women in the Mood > both of those

I have an older sister I was very close with before she died.
JB is just a better episode, that's all.

I agree, good taste, user.

LotF had the better story/ending
JB had the better ending song which made the ending much sadder

Not at all, it's normal:
Most people lose a pet when they are quite young, but losing an uncle or adult person (not grandma and stuff like that) isnt as common.
Is not that people like dogs more than humans, is that people find it easier to project their love for their dog on a random dog than to do the same with the love for lets say their uncle and project it to a random Asian middle aged woman on a movie.

LotF had some good jokes but the story and ending was meh. JB's ending was goat of the series and the song was part of that.

Why must people insist on comparing these two episodes?

LotF was a feel good ending. After spending the episode butthurt over Yancy stealing his stuff, he learns that his brother truly loved him, and that it was his legacy that allowed his nephew to have the best life ever.

In that moment, Fry knew that the life he always hated actually did have a lot of meaning, and he was probably closer to his brother then then at any point when he was alive.

Jurassic Bark was a "ruined my day" kind of ending, with Seymour having wasted his entire life waiting for Fry to return, and Fry never knowing how much he meant to that dog by assuming that it lived a full life with some other person
and then the movie retcon fucked up the sadness of that ending, making it a worthless episode anyway

>spoiler
I don't think the movie fucked up anything considering they establish that time is cyclical and that time travel is nothing more than accelerating forward into a near-identical timeline. Even though Fry got to spend time with his dog, there was still a Seymour that died waiting.

Fry thinks his dog lived a happy life, only the audience knows the truth and is effected by it.
His brother however, he finds out about what really happened and regrets hating him all those years.
Therefore, yes, LoTF is more likely to send me to cry like a bitch.

man, all these episodes about Fry's past makes his initial reaction to waking up in the future sting a little.

Ok I'll be sure to ball my eyes out everytime a nameless soldier dies in a retarded way in a movie but not give a shit when my own pets die.

>Ball
we don't need you putting 40 up on the Cavs, man.

So, there are a shitload of episodes where Fry is lamenting his past

But whenever a time travel episode comes along he doesn't even try to contact his family in any way. What's up with that. There's the one with the time machine where they go through the whole universe multiple times over, and Farnsworth has time to stop and shoot Hitler, but Fry doesn't even think to say "Hey I wanna say hi to my mom"

Don't you
forget about me

I've always wondered how "Lars" going back to the past for several years affected this.

I'm sorry to hear that user

Er, he actually got pretty close to his grandma

Correct

Don't You (Forget About Me) is the one song that will get me emotional.
Every.
Fucking.
Time.

But Jurassic Bark gets the W.
because dogs.

I like them both equally for different reasons.

The Devil's Hands also makes me cry. In fact a shitload of episodes do. It's crazy how a comedy had so much heart to wreck you emotionally moments after gut busting laughter.

Kek

Can this just be a Futurama appreciation/discussion thread?

Fuck, i love this show.

Overall better episode but not as emotionally haunting.

yes
I started watching it again after remembering how much I enjoyed it on Adult Swim. Despite being a couple or so years since watching the show, I can still remember jokes vividly.

Man for all the shit people gave newer Futurama it still had damn good feels. Personally I loved al of it.

>Now, bundle up. I don't want you gettin' frozen.
and
>Because this isn't your dream.

HEY HEY HEY HEY
