Saddest/most emotional episode of Futurama?

[1B-DI]

What do you think is the saddest or most emotional episode of Futurama?

If I've missed one, hit "Other" and tell us about it!

[1B-DI]

I voted Jurassic Bark, because the last time I saw it I nearly cried.

[Cloverfield]

Obviously Jurassic Bark...don't get much sader than that.

[gort]

I voted Sting....even though the song at the end of Jurrassic Bark kills me every time!!

Gaz was supposed to find it for me on cd....hmmmm.....

Connie Francis.....'I Will Wait for You' is the title.....

[1B-DI]

Leela's Homeworld comes in a close 2nd for me, the song from that ep gets me everytime.

[gort]

What's the song??

Remind me.....

Hey....you heard of Joseph Arthur??

[1B-DI]

It's called "Baby Love Child" by Pizzicato 5.

Hmm...no, I don't recognize that name.

[gort]

I see.....


Check out Joseph Arthur on his myspace page.......he has several albums out...

[1B-DI]

Cool.

And since we're already off-topic, I found Demetri Martin on mySpace. WOO! I added him as a friend :D

Okay, no more off-topicness. :)

[gort]

Oops.

I'm almost the only non-admin or mod member now!!!

I better watch it!!

[frys_red_jacket]

definitly jurrasic bark for me

[Gurman]

I'm sorry I love the Luck of the Fryrish my favorite episode hopefully well have some new favorites

[1B-DI]

That's alright! I'm glad to see that there's a spread here--not all the votes are going to the same ep. It makes it more interesting to me, I think.

I was just thinking, though--I'm surprised that Predy voted for Jurassic Bark, yet he hates dogs....LOL :p

[frys_red_jacket]

i never thought of that until just now LOL
maybe it doesn't count cos its a cartoon

[Pazuzu]

The Sting methinks...

[seiryu]

a tie between jurassic bark and luck of the fryish..both have great endings

[Gazereths]

Well at the time it was 'jurassic bark'.....Because my dog had just died.....:(:(:(:(:..But thinking about it now im not too sure.

[Sweetened Angel]

i vote jurassic bark.

[Smitty]

Jurassic Bark for me as well. I end up skipping the last part whenever this episode airs. Definately the saddest. At least with the other episodes, like Luck Of The Fryish, The Sting and Leela's Homeworld, you are left with a good feeling basically, whereas this one you cry from being sad.

[Cloverfield]

Yup, totally agree, one of the saddest endings to an animation program!!

[Desired FX]

All four listed really tugged at my heartstrings, but "The Luck of the Fryrish" was the most emotional overall. I mean, they made me cry at a scene where Fry was defiling a grave while Bender was randomly stealing body parts in the cemetery. "There, now no one can say I don't have John Larroquette's spine!" That's quite a feat.

However, I think "The Sting" was the most creative of the episodes, and "Jurassic Bark" had the perfect ending.

Along with these four, I'd like to add "The Devil's Hands Are Idle Playthings" for emotional impact.

Oh, and "Time Keeps on Slipping." That haunting moment with Fry looking out the window while Bender slowly shuffles away, whistling "Sweet Georgia Brown." Great moment to cap off a very emotional climax.

Oh, and I kinda like "Godfellas," too.

I better stop before I type in every episode but "That's Lobstertainment!"

[Gazereths]

Just the name of that Ep makes me laugh!..Lobstertainment...WTF?

[neilysan]

my eyes got hot at the end of Luck of the Fryrish, can't say that about the others, well the sting was close, but not so much because I figured it out part way through. Something about how they set up the rivalry between the brothers, then it turns out t be very loving in the end, and the name-great mislead.

[Gurman]

Luck of The Fryriwsh is my favorite episode

[ironik]

jurassic bark is really sad but luck of the fryish gets me every time

[Anubis]

Jurassic bark with the Seymour waiting and waiting and waiting.....and waiting........

[Cloverfield]

Yup, definately the saddest moment in my eyes.

[Jurassic Barker]

Jurassic Bark. Easily.

The Luck of the Fryrish did nothing for me.

[1B-DI]

Oh man, the song at the end of 'Fryrish' gets me everytime. Not quite as much as the end of 'Jurassic Bark,' but close.

[Jurassic Barker]

The final scene in The Devil's Hands are Idle Playthings makes me cry, and the final scene in Leela's Homeworld is quite emotional too.

[1B-DI]

Yeah, that scene in 'Leela's Homeworld' gets me. I downloaded the song because I just love it :)

[Cloverfield]

Nothing gets me except jurassic Bark. Everything else not even close.

[hoopymo]

luck of the fryrish because he realises his brother who he seems to hate cared for him after his dissappearence and even named his own son after him,the fact that he kept that picture alone is great

its writing like that that made futurama a step ahead of the rest

[JetGirl]

ok the one with seymour of course left me with such a bad taste in my mouth, especially the end of the episode, very very sad.

but i have to say the ending with leela when they play that music and you see how much her mom and dad were taking care of her and trying to be there for her as much as possible, very very touching, but in a happy sad way :)

[Jye Briscoe]

I voted for 'The Luck Of The Fryrish'. Such a great episode. Definetly one of my favourites.

[Emphie]

I found the one where time passes fast is the saddest.

[1B-DI]

Oh yeah...Time Keeps On Slippin'...forgot about that one. That is pretty sad at the end.

[hoopymo]

yeh i suppose but bubblegum tate makes it funny

[JetGirl]

yeah that episode cracks me up too much to be considered sad.

[TK-421]

Jurassic Bark is definitely the tear-jerker of the Futurama series. That one got my vote, although some of the other candidates were quite emotional as well.

[JoelManiac]

I voted lck of fryish

[I Hate Bottles]

Yeah, that scene in 'Leela's Homeworld' gets me. I downloaded the song because I just love it :)

I downloaded it too! I actually had it on my MySpace page for awhile.

All of those episodes made me cry, but Jurassic Bark was the worst for me. The first time I saw it, I had just recently lost my cat that I had since I was about 8-years-old. She couldn't sing Walking on Sunshine or anything, but she was still really special. Also take into account that I'm a huge animal lover. :)

Although I think The Sting is my all-time favorite episode.

[1B-DI]

I had it on MySpace too :)

Isn't it weird how emotional we can get about pets who have passed away? I still get choked up about my old cat sometimes.

[Cloverfield]

I'm dreading the day my cats pass away :(

[frys_red_jacket]

im terrible when pets die, i even got choked up when my mouse died lol

[Cloverfield]

lol

[FryWalker]

Jurrassic bark for sure. i hated seeing seymor die lonley like he did. i cried.

[Gurman]

I think we should add BBS to this that was some pretty emotional shit

[frys_red_jacket]

oh no does mean i gotta get my hankys ready

[B-Runner]

Jurassic Bark for me, so sad

[colberts]

Definitely Jurassic Bark, I was still upset about it days after I saw it D:

[Ps360]

Look below plz k thx
This was a double toast

[Ps360]

I voted Sting....even though the song at the end of Jurrassic Bark kills me every time!!

Gaz was supposed to find it for me on cd....hmmmm.....

Connie Francis.....'I Will Wait for You' is the title.....

http://hetribadi.imeem.com/music/Dt4I-nek/connie_francis_i_will_wait_for_you/

[menu-select]

"Jurassic Bark" i almost cried at the end one time i saw it

[Cloverfield]

Yup, same here, but only the first time.

[NickMyers]

The Sting
Lcuk of trh fryish mayb very good also but THE STING shows frys deep love for leela and hi, putting his life on the line to save her and than sacing at her bed the whole time, but he stilldoesnt get her

[NovaMist]

Oooh, tough choice!

After much deliberation, my vote goes to "Jurassic Bark", but really, it's a close call! :)

All four of the mentioned episodes are real gut-punchers emotionally.

Other episodes that get me are "The Devil's Hands Are Idle Playthings" and "Time Keeps On Slippin'" - the endings to both these eps are pretty emotional.

Well at the time it was 'jurassic bark'.....Because my dog had just died.....:(:(:(:(:..

I had the same problem! The first time I saw "Jurassic Bark" was right after my dog had to be put down due to illness. Oh boy, did I cry at the end of that episode! The same happened with that episode of "Grey's Anatomy" where Meredith has to put her dog down. :'(

[FryRulz]

jurassic bark what i said episode that was. seymor:(

[NovaMist]

jurassic bark what i said episode that was. seymor:(

Poor boy! :'( But it's nice to know that someone loves Fry as unconditionally as Fry himself loves Leela...

The most heartbreaking thing, of course, if that Fry stopped the cloning process with the noblest of intentions...:'(

[PMD14]

Jurassic Bark easily the saddest

[NovaMist]

The end of Jurassic Bark is up on YouTube!

http://youtube.com/watch?v=8n7dShpkph0

:'(

[Gurman]

Should I add benders big score

[Ps360]

I don't know why, but after feeling a little sad at Jurassic bark, I started to laugh really hard for no reason. Dunno if it's related to the episode or not.

[1B-DI]

Hmm, that reminds me of when I was 8 years old and Bill Clinton was being inaugurated for the first time as President...I just started laughing out loud and I still don't know why. Worst thing was, we were watching it in school, so I made a total idiot of myself in front of my class. And my teacher gave me a "look."

[FryWalker]

BBs was realy sad when lars/fry was living his life as he would have if he never left. seeing seymor again was sad but happy i cried

[Davpronk]

Jurassic Bark is a genius episode! It almost made me cry. The connection between Fry and his dog is really strong.

[TK-421]

Yeah, it's defninitely one of the most emotional episodes of the series, if not the best. Don't get me wrong, it's still brilliant, but there are other ones that I enjoy even more.

[Fry-1nat0r]

Definitely Jurassic Bark. The end song always gets me and the way Seymour shuts his eyes in the end is so sad.:'(

However the movie make me happy again as we know that Seymour didn't wait his whole life but was fossilized when Bender fired that gun.

[Davpronk]

Yeah, the scene where Fry does his people's native dance was very funny! It was one of his actions to get Seymour back.

[Sexlexia]

I'm sorry I love the Luck of the Fryrish my favorite episode hopefully well have some new favorites


:bow: I agree. This one is the saddest. Sure Jurassic Bark is sad but for goodness sake its a dog!
Wheras Luck of the Fryrish it's Fry's brother who misses him and despite all their rivalries, misses him every day :(

[The Floyd [Reborn]]

add Parasites Lost and the Devils Hands are Idle Playthings to the list!!!!
these two episodes are milestones in the relationship between Fry and Leela..
Devils Hands, the last episode of season 4, was so magical at the end, where it shows a holograph of Fry and Leela walking into the distance, hand in hand..

but of course i haven't seen the four new movies, so dont spoil it for me! :P

[Cloverfield]

Well you can always vote other :wink:

[The Floyd [Reborn]]

lol i voted The Sting, which i forgot to mention is a beautiful episode about Leela's need for Fry and vice versa... ahhhhh the emotion :D
btw i revisited Jurassic Bark and have to admit the ending was very sad.. :(

[Futuramaniac]

In this category it's hard for me to chose between "Luck of the Fryrish"
and "Jurassic Bark". Both have some really emotional moments for me.
But i voted for the first one in the end.

[The Floyd [Reborn]]

is there a song that plays at the end of Luck of the Fryrish? i kinda forgot...
i know Jurassic Bark had a heartbreaking aria at the end

[1B-DI]

Yeah, the song at the end of Luck of the Fryrish is "Don't You (Forget About Me)" by Simple Minds.

[FryRulz]

i thought that episode was also very sad.

fry thought his bro hated him, and that he stole his identity. but really he called his son Philip.J.Fry. in memory of his brother, that gave me an odd lumb in my throat whenever i watch it

[The Floyd [Reborn]]

*sigh* .... if only i was living and working with the planet express crew... i'd give anything to spend a day with 'em :D i wonder what pranks bender would do on me haha

i am SO gunna get the Luck of the Fryrish ending song and it'll become the most played song on my iPod..

Well out of all the emotional bits during Futurama, I feel very warm watching the end of the Devil's Hands are Idle Playthings.. it was a very good series-ending episode until BBS came.. :P but im glad new futurama episodes'll be out. i wanna see how fry and leela get along

[Cloverfield]

If they get along at all :wink:

[La Belle Leela]

As the other poll over at PEEL went, I am the minority on this one as well. All choices listed are indeed sad, and/or emotionally powerful. My vote for the one that hit me hardest was Leela's Homeworld. As with The Sting, which also hit me very hard emotionally, seeing Leela go through the emotional rollercoaster of wanting to kill who she thought killed her parents (and nearly doing so), to realizing they are her parents was very powerful, and the subsequent reunion & ending montage was very powerful. What also tore me up was the flashback part when you see Leela's parents leaving her on the steps, as they watch from the sewer drain, but in the end I didn't feel as bad, because in a way, they didn't totally abandon her, and (pun fully intended) kept an eye on her as she grew up. Runner up choice goes to The Sting basically made me feel the same way, only it was from seeing Leela go through emotional hell over almost losing a dear friend. The one part in that episode that chokes me up every time is when Leela has stressed out, reaches her breaking point, and decides to eat the honey 3 times (this of course heavily implies suicide) to me, that made it that much more upsetting than any other scene, in any other episode.

[1B-DI]

Well put, Torgo :) There was a lot of psychological/emotional stuff going on in those episodes, it'd be hard not to be affected.

Hear, hear, Torgo! Well said!

[The Floyd [Reborn]]

If I loved a woman like Leela, I would stay by her side for two weeks.. ahh the passion

[Cloverfield]

Well put, Torgo :) There was a lot of psychological/emotional stuff going on in those episodes, it'd be hard not to be affected.

I wasn't. Only Jurrasic Bark.

[La Belle Leela]

;124320']If I loved a woman like Leela, I would stay by her side for two weeks.. ahh the passion

My thoughts exactly. It wouldn't matter if it was 2 weeks, 2 months, or 20 years,,,I'd never leave her!

[The Floyd [Reborn]]

i havent watched the new episodes.... are they good? any romantic developments in fry and leela's relationship

[frys_red_jacket]

there aren't any new episodes as of just yet only the movie

[The Floyd [Reborn]]

dats what i meant lol

[iObey]

Leela's homeworld for me, I think the song that really made an impact to me..

[bran10]

I voted Luck of the fryish

[bran10]

what season was jurrasic bark in? I can't find it on:

SurfTheChannel - Home (http://www.surfthechannel.com/show/television/Futurama.html)

[1B-DI]

It was the 7th episode of Season 4

[bran10]

well then surfthe channel must be in correct then... it says season four, episode 7 is a pharaoh to remember

[1B-DI]

Huh, that one was from Season 3

[bran10]

really? it says season 4 haha

[1B-DI]

They're all messed up lol

[bran10]

lol, I thought they were in order too! I dont remember all the episodes off the top of my head...

is wikipedia accurate?

[1B-DI]

It's the source I usually use for Futurama info. Pretty accurate from what I can tell.

[Cortree]

The Sting really is the most emotional episode IMO.

[0011000100100111101000011]

Got to say, I wasn't eventhe slight bit sad in any other episode but Jurassic Bark nearly teared me up.

[bran10]

I still cant watch it! I can't find it! where are you jurrasic bark?!

[0011000100100111101000011]

I still cant watch it! I can't find it! where are you jurrasic bark?!

Episode 7 in the season 4 box set. :D

[Cortree]

Yeah, I have to take that back. I actually had never watched Jurassic Bark, even though I own season 4. xP I was thinking of a different episode.

Anyway, yeah I cried. I assume that makes it more emotional? =P

[NovaMist]

It's the source I usually use for Futurama info. Pretty accurate from what I can tell.

I agree - Wikipedia tends to be accurate in regards to Futurama. You could also try the Infosphere, which is a Futurama wiki. From memory, I think it's pretty good, too.

[bender the offender]

luck of the fryish i cried for hours when i first saw that episode

[Gurman]

think we should maybe add BBS even know its not an episode it was a big emotion episode

[Sawman3]

Jurassic Bark

[NovaMist]

think we should maybe add BBS even know its not an episode it was a big emotion episode

Agreed! :)

[Gurman]

Yeah we should

[FuturamaFreak]

For my hard-earned cash, it is Luck of the Fryrish.

I never owned a dog, so not if I just don't fully connect with the theme of Jurassic Bark, even though it is a standout episode in the series' run.


Oh, and I lied earlier, my cash wasn't hard-earned. I stole it from an old lady's purse as I walked her across the street.

[Gurman]

I think luck of the fryrish and Jurassic Bark

[NovaMist]

Oh, and I lied earlier, my cash wasn't hard-earned. I stole it from an old lady's purse as I walked her across the street.

lol Horrible child!

[stewie]

Leela's Homeworld was one that i liked

[MidgardDragon]

I know everyone gets all teary-eyed over Jurassic Bark, but really the only truly sad part IMO is the ending. Whereas with "The Sting" it is sad throughout, makes me tear up every time.

[KING ZOIDY]

Devil Hands are Idle Playing Things, with Fry trying to impress Leela, but doesnt in the end

[Dr. John A. Zoidberg]

Jurassic Bark by far for me

[KING ZOIDY]

the Bark episode was HALARIOUS, no tears on me

[HYPNoBRECKY]

By far, Jurassic Bark so sad!

[KING ZOIDY]

sad episode :( but still funny!

Bender: "Lousy ineffective grimm reaper!"

[Punisher]

jurrasic bark was sad i felt bad for poor baby seymour :(

[KING ZOIDY]

teehee BARK BARK! he reminds me of scruffy..the janitor

[Punisher]

their are many dogs in the reality world that look like seymour :)

[oh! tonks]

The most emotional episode for me is The Sting. Maybe because I'm a huge Leela/Fry shipper, but still. I almost cried when Fry died the first time I saw it (and would probably too, if the commical comments hadn't been there).

[rogercieslar]

leela's homeworld for beautiful ending of leela's troubles.
the sting for such a weirdy episode
jurassic bark the scene when bender tried to kill seymour and the end song.
luck of the fryish for good episode
the devil's hands are idle-playthings for the last episode in seson 5 and in 2003 last episode before big break until 2007.

[Robot's_Best_Friend]

in my opinion jurassic bark by far is the saddest episode of futurama...maybe the saddest moment in tv history...:(

[KING ZOIDY]

it was, poor seymor asses :(

[Friend of Zoidberg]

It will always be The Sting for me.

[Robot's_Best_Friend]

The Sting was very emotional aswell, it's #3 on my list.

[Yoshirama]

seymor one was quite sad. The rest weren't really that sad that i can think of.

[KING ZOIDY]

still Jurassic Bark for me

[FryRulz]

I think the ending ofThe Luck of the Fryrish is kinda emotional.

[KING ZOIDY]

eh, kinda

[FryRulz]

Just when he thinks that Yancy hated him, but really Fry finds out that his brother did love him and that he named his son after him.

[KING ZOIDY]

oh

[FryRulz]

Get it now?

And does anyone else agree with me?

[KING ZOIDY]

i do, kinda

[frys_red_jacket]

i agree too, not as emotional as jurrasic bark though

[KING ZOIDY]

*sobs*

lol

[Joe Miller]

I know most people think Jurassic Bark, but for me, Luck is the saddest. It's also somewhat happy, when Fry realizes his brother always loved him {so sad and happy at the same time}. I actually think Luck may be my favorite episode of the series

[Mixmaster_Festus]

I still can't watch Jurassic Bark, ever, although the rest of the episode was hilarious. The Luck of the Fryrish is emotional too, but in kind of a happier way.

[cinco]

Jurassic Bark. That ending... :'(

[LaJaDiSc]

I voted for "The Sting".
The other choices are all great (Luck of the Fryrish would be my second choice), but because of the mutual love shown between Fry and Leela, the range of emotions and the potential for a meaningful relationship, I have to go with "The Sting".
