Everyone talks about Jurassic Bark and Luck of the Fryish…
But what about the ones that hit quietly and never got the love they deserved?

  • Lethal Inspection — Baby Bender. Hermes. That final reveal. Gut punch.
  • Cold Warriors — That father-son silence? Brutal.
  • The Late Philip J. Fry — Time skips and a rose that says “I never stopped trying.”

What’s your sleeper Futurama pain episode?

I quoted this one in the other thread! A mother who never saw her son again is rough.

Of course, Lars fixed that, but still!

Was she alive after Lars went back to the future? Still possible she never saw him again after that.

He returned to the same day he left, and all those times they showed the past (like in this episode, Game of Tones, and like Luck of the Fryrish) she was still alive so... yes.

Lars died, man. That's a pretty significant plot point.

Yeah, but in an explosion. He didn't just vanish on her. There's closure in that.
