This may be the first video essay I’ve seen in which “Groening” is pronounced correctly.

@AL_Mir29241

Ай бұрын

Its still wrong - he pronounces it like "Grayning". Its a Dutch / German last name. The "oe" (or ö) is pronounced like the "oo" in "moon" and the G is pretty much impossible as it sounds like you're regurgitating flemch. A little softer in German. So in english it'd sound more like "Grooning" (as the Dutch / German "G" sound isn't known in the English phonemes)

@Nathanatos22

@@AL_Mir29241 I recall reading an article in the early 90s (although I can’t recall exactly where) in which Groening says his name rhymes with “raining.” That always stuck with me-I suppose because it was news to me at the time. In any case, after a quick search, it appears Groening repeated “rhymes with raining” multiple times since I first read that article. So yes, “It was a Sh*t Show” is pronouncing it correctly.

The amount of love and support and heartfelt cards I got from my customers when the contracts were terminated this past March (Gannett decided to mail the newspaper instead) was overwhelming.

The Golden/Lab mix was one of the dumbest, happiest dogs I've ever been around, and my grandpuppy is just as happy, but incredibly intelligent. That intelligence, along with the typical eager to please nature of Goldens, makes training him a breeze, usually with praise alone being enough motivation for him. I still give him plenty of treatos though lol. Jeez, I just meant to ask what kind of dog you had, so my apologies for the additional text wall lol.

A lot of people don't know that once someone is in those big powerful roles, it is very easy for someone to point a finger at them and ask "what do you do around here?" and that is why corporate bigshots "meddle". I don't defend their crappy wrong decisions, but it's simply those people trying to do their jobs. 99% of the time all of the numbers point to something, and this is all CEO bigshots do, is follow numbers. It's the consumer's responsibility to recognize that large publicly traded companies like Apple/Activision, for example, are not motivated to provide quality. Smaller, private companies usually are motivated to grow and provide quality. Large big businesses can withhold updates like waterproofing, because they are a corp that needs to keep stocks growing quarter to quarter. It is objectively job suicide for a CEO to not plan 10+ years down the road. Trickle out updates, instead of doing the right thing, or you get fired by the board, who represent the shareholders, who want to make money. People who buy and trade stocks contribute to this terrible watering down of quality, and I will never participate in the objective reason quality is so bad in almost all of our hobbies. Brands die. Video games have it the worst. The products barely function and are funded with pennies and scraped out the door. Customers put up with it, and it's the standard for that industry. The best games are always independent. Big name buys the small game, and runs it into the ground, because consumers can't tell the difference. Movies? Same thing.

Any publicly traded media corporation such as Fox has this aggravating dynamic in which the executives are trying to please their investors and advertisers, which often impairs their judgment on great art, which Futurama certainly is. Furthermore, this one's harder to prove but plausible, there is a dynamic in which certain politics gets in the way of media content regardless of how lucrative or successful the content would be. For example, the episode in which the Momon Mega Corporation has 'Mom' obsessed with ensuring the last can of anchovies is not cloned to produce the chemical foundation for the sci-fi/fantasy concept of infinite robot oil lubrication is getting dangerously close to reality. The very real science of petrol chemical derivatives researched by private laboratories run by the OG American Oil Barons turned central banking Gangsters, The Rockefellers, is where this concept leads if one is familiar with the subject matter. I recall that episode aired on Adult Swim alot but seldom on Fox. Thus, Adult Swim, at least for about a decade or so, earned a powerful reputation for airing 'Rebellious' avant-garde broadcast media content that most channels would never even touch. Futurama was just one of these avant-garde shows of course.

It was so moving, that episode's ending. But there is a happy ending; in a later episode, a clone of Fry is created (I won't say why, for spoilers' sake) and sent back to the moment when the real Fry has fallen into the cryogenic freezer. The clone is identical to the real Fry, and even believes that he is Fry, and has no memories of the future, and he lives out Fry's life as it would have been if Fry never fell into the freezer, which means that Seymour (Fry's dog) would have gotten to spend his life with Fry, being with him every day.

My favorite line from any show. " You can't have your characters announce how they feel! That makes my feel angry!"

You can really tell how much effort went into this video, all those clips are so well selected! WOW

Great edit on this video! Perfect scenes to go with your narration.

@@JK-qn9qr Honestly, I don't consider Futurama to have come back after the first cancelation. The show felt totally different, devoid of any of its original charm.

This is great! Cant wait to see the rest of your channels stuff.

A Sh*t Show episode about Futurama??? Oh hells yeah! Also, I always love when you throw in stuff that only fans would get, like at 12:40 when you say "axed" instead of asked.

7:19 Well, I guess the best way to describe Fox executives' reactions would be to quote another classic show screwed over by Fox in the 2000s only to get revived later: "I've made a huge mistake." (Insert "CRY LOVE!" playing in the background)

This was really well done and informative. Loved this show. So where is part 2?

The insane amount of research and Stiching clips of the show along the topic , is trully remarcable!!

Great video dude. Looking forward to part 2

you guys have been on the grind lately! loving all this content and im losing my mind in excitement for futurama. wow, knocking it out of the park! ❤🎉

Fantastically put together, looking forward to Part 2!

This video commentary was really well put together. Must have been a ton of work. Thank you 🤖🏋‍♀▶

Here’s hoping Disenchantment is released on Blu-ray at some point. Much like Futurama, I would love watching the episodes with commentary from Groening, Cohen, the writers, and voice talent. You just don’t get that on streaming services.

The editing on these videos is unparalleled. So many great jokes through just the edits alone. Awesome video!

You used perfect voice clips from the show for narrative purposes that fit so perfect into the story you're telling. Great job on this video!

Amazing episode. I was at San Diego Comic Con in 1998 and Matt drew Homer and Bart pictures and signed them for me, then a few years ago I had a house fire and out of everything that was lost, these are some of the most devastating. I tried reaching out to Matt's company but got no response. It sucks. Love The Simpsons and Futurama. Thanks for making this, it was great!

Great video commentary buddy. I know the story already, but that's one of the best tellings ever. Love the use of original dialogue. Schplur!

Man, Fox Execs are serial killers. They cancelled a ton of great shows. Firefly and Angel being among them. I think this is one of the things why streaming is better.

Damn, that was an excellent video with some sweet editing. Nice work, can't wait for part 2!!

ok, now i need to rewatch Futurama apparently. Great vid, love how much effort you put into choosing perfect clips to illustrate your points!

Great work! This is an amazing recap of one of the best animated shows.

This video's seamless insertion of spot-on hilarious show clips into the engaging narrative is other-worldly perfect.

Fun fact: Futurama at one time was going to called Aloha Mars and had Kang & Kodos show up

Man, the way your trek this industry sh*t shows is really entertainment! Congrats on the great videos

I really like the edit and information told! Exactly what I was looking for and so nostalic to see futurama back. It aired way later in my country but it was one of my fav shows in my teenage years!

This is a high quality video that you clearly put a lot of effort into. Thank you for this

Great episode. Can’t wait for part 2

This was a really fun and informative watch. Looking forward to part 2! *All glory to the Hypnotoad*

great vid. takes me back to hitting bongs and laughing to episodes all night with friends. simpler times!

God damn such a great video. Subscribing for sure.... If I enjoy the rest of your stuff even 1/4th as much as this episode it will still be highly enjoyable.

I'm still devastated over Jurassic Bark.

Great video. Can't wait for part two!

Really instructive video. Cheers from France!

So well done! You just got a new sub!

I'd say being shot to death by ones wife was pretty unexpected. RIP Phil Hartman.

Luck of the Fryrish hit me so hard, I was not expecting it, and I was sobbing like a baby. All the time slot changes explain why I would see this show so sporadically. This video has me feeling nostalgia pretty hard for the 00's, thanks for this.

So many memorable moments! Time for another watch through.
