Futurama
From Encyclopedia Dramatica
Futurama is The Simpsons with way more jokes on masturbation and science fiction, and it takes place in the year 9000. Some argue that Futurama is remembered as a good series because it was canceled by FOX before it got a chance to fail. However, now that it's back the floors the limit! Spawned the internet memes I see what you did there, Child Abduction, and Hypnotoad.

[edit] The Show
In the year 2000, Fry is frozen for a thousand years in a cryogenic chamber. This is crucial because thanks to Fry's 20th century point of view, the writers have a running premise to work with: that the future is OMG different than the present, and everything is ironic! Basically, this allows them to kill time during episodes with jokes about futuristic stuff. He gets a job at Planet Express delivery, along with the Professor, Leela, Bender, Zoidberg and a chink and nigger who no one cares about. This is another lazy move by the writers because now they can start every episode with the characters delivering a package to wherever the episode is going to take place, which they do.
[edit] Characters
- Phillip J. Fry: Retarded main character from the 20th century. He is voiced by Billy West, who also did every other voice on the show. Featured in the meme I see what you did there.
- Bender B. Rodriguez: A lazy, alcoholic, chain smoking, kleptomaniac robot. It was no surprise when it was revealed in the second season that he is actually Mexican. Dreams to one day kill all humans.
- Turanga Leela: The smart character necessary to actually move the plot forward. Leela is a cyclops that knows karate and is a strong, independent woman. She is voiced by Peggy Bundy from "Married With Children".
- Prof. Hubert Farnsworth: At least 100 years old this character is always forgetting things, falling asleep and yelling at people. Basically the same character as Grampa Simpson.
- Amy Wong: A rich azn from Mars. Another extremely stupid character on the show. It's never really explained why she works at a delivery company when she already has so much money.
- Doctor John D. Zoidberg: Jewish lobster that has only three jokes on the entire show: being poor, being disliked, and doing Jewish stuff.
- Hermes Conrad: The pot smoking Jamaican bureaucrat, needed to round out the collection of racial stereotypes.
- Zap Brannigan: William Shatner
- Kiff Kroaker: Zap's pussy lapboy. Gets impregnated by Leela in the 5th season (srsly).
- Nibbler: Leela's pet. Created largely to appeal to furries.
- Hypnotoad: Hypnotoad is a populALL GLORY TO THE HYPNOTOAD
