I’m stealing an idea from !thesimpsons@lemmy.world because they had a great idea.

the first series finale, 'the devil's hands make idle playthings'

They do get around

[-] ryan213@lemmy.ca 9 points 2 weeks ago

What do you mean, "the first?" They made more?!

Just joking. I've tried watching the various incarnations. They're just not the same anymore.

[-] notsure@fedia.io 4 points 2 weeks ago

I blelieve the series has been cancelled 3 times, and all in error!!

[-] ryan213@lemmy.ca -1 points 2 weeks ago

Only the first was an error.

The latest season almost feels like a return to form. Nearly all the episodes were excellent.

[-] ryan213@lemmy.ca -1 points 2 weeks ago

I watched the first episode. It felt too "Family Guy-ish." The bad Family Guy, not the first few seasons of it. Lol

[-] pennomi@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

I think the first two episodes were mediocre, the rest of the season was fantastic. Maybe give it a shot!

[-] ryan213@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 weeks ago

Yeah I'll eventually give it another try at some point.

[-] flicker@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago

"Attack of the Clothes" had an ending that I really appreciated.

[-] Carvex@lemmy.world 59 points 2 weeks ago

An opera? About a woman? How deliciously absurd!

[-] Monster96@lemmy.world 9 points 2 weeks ago

Seeing Leela without lipstick makes her look different

[-] Zahille7@lemmy.world 5 points 2 weeks ago

It's there, you can see the outline. She's just been smothered in sauce.

[-] w3dd1e@lemm.ee 17 points 2 weeks ago

“But I’ve never written an opera.” “And I’ve never heard one.”

[-] I_Has_A_Hat@lemmy.world 59 points 2 weeks ago

Your writing lacks subtlety! You can't just announce how your characters feel!

That makes me feel angry!

[-] zqps@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 weeks ago

I love meta humour. I wish it would have been "That makes me angry!" just to make it a tad less on the nose.

[-] hexabs@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

I could hear it in the devil's voice nearly a decade after watching this episode.

It's crazy how a minor recurring character could by so memorable.

[-] flicker@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago

That line is the Trope Namer for, That Makes Me Feel Angry!

Destiny has cheated me by forcing me to decide upon: The woman that I idolize, or the hands of an automaton.

Without these hands I can’t complete the opera that was captivating her

But if I keep them, and she marries him, He probably won’t want me dating her.

[-] HotsauceHurricane@lemmy.one 20 points 2 weeks ago

That whole episode is fantastic. Its top tier writing.

[-] chiliedogg@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago

The only thing I hate about it is that it made the writers think they were good at doing musical numbers, and in the following seasons, they did a bunch of really, really bad songs.

[-] Timecircleline@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 weeks ago

The alternate ending of the episode where Leelas mom and Zapp become a thing.. -shudders-

[-] kemsat@lemmy.world 21 points 2 weeks ago

The one where Fry plays the holophone

[-] Futurama@lemmy.world 21 points 2 weeks ago

I can't believe everybody's just ad-liiiiibing!

The Devil's Hands are Idle Playthings

"And I've never heard one!"

[-] son_named_bort@lemmy.world 16 points 2 weeks ago

This idea is good and you should feel good.

[-] mattd@lemmy.world 11 points 2 weeks ago

Your music’s bad and you should feel bad!

[-] JakenVeina@lemm.ee 8 points 2 weeks ago

Season 4, Finale

[-] Leate_Wonceslace@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 2 weeks ago

||The Devils hands are idle playthings|| Honestly, this is probably the easiest one to guess.

[-] w3dd1e@lemm.ee 2 points 2 weeks ago

I debated between easy and medium. Since it was the first one, I wasn’t sure how hard to rate it.

[-] kboy101222@sh.itjust.works 7 points 2 weeks ago

I would commission... An opera!
