Does anyone else find the new Futurama episodes more funny than the old ones?

Nah, that's not the time I was thinking of... I just rewatched all of the series. I should have written down which episode it was! =[

Meh, I'm probably mistaken.

McJugga

There's also a few scenes where he's very close to the winch magnet, like in Fear of a Bot Planet. Other than that, either I'm blanking or it could be in seasons 4-5 which I haven't watched half as many times as seasons 1-3.

Ah, I found it! In "I Second that Emotion", when the magnetic can-opener catches his head, he just says "Ow! My head! My precious head!" and nothing else. He was attached to the magnet for four seconds.

In the latest episode, the magnet was attached to his stomach, not his head, and it only shows him on screen for three seconds.

So HA!

I guess you could make the argument that he wasn't near it for long enough, in A Tale of Two Santas it took a few seconds in the magnetron for him to start singing, but you could also chalk it up to inconsistency. I think when it's not near his head, though, it hasn't caused him to sing. I do like to speculate about thos little inconsistencies, two of my favorites are if New York was eventually buried, then why was the cryogenics lab left above ground in the time lapse sequence, and why is French an incomprehensible language when there are multiple French speakers shown (Charles de Gaulle, wing of famous French people, Pazuzu)?

If they can continue to create one of those once in a while it will be a big step in the right direction IMO.

Agreed, Luck of the Fryrish is my all-time favorite.

Ugh, no. I hate the new episodes to be honest, just not as funny as the older episodes.

Yes I totally agree. The one you mentioned about the bee honey and Leela losing her mind is particularly excellent. The 'final' episode too is utterly beautiful and bittersweet.super_mario_128

Haters gonna hate. Maybe they're not as good as some of the classics, but I still find them to be hilarious, and I love that they're still hitting on relevant social commentary. The new episodes are hilarious and the movies are pretty damn funny too, but some people just dislike change.

Agreed I though the Robosexuality episode was socially relavent and halarious even if it was beating you over the head with its lack of subtleness.

i may be the only one who never found the show funny at all

They are funny, but against old episodes? Nope, the old ones are still better.

first episode: Meh.

second: very good!

third: alright

fourth: Decent

fifth one (aired tonight); Awesome!

My impressions so far. I'd say the fitfh and second episodes are on par with the original episodes.

Loved the ending.

Tonight's episode was awful. Futurama use to have some of the best plots on TV, but tonight's episode had an incredibly stupid story.

Best line of the season by far.

[spoiler] I'll admit it had quite a few good lines, but honestly; da Vinci is actually an alien from another planet? And he build a robot in the 1600's? That ridiculous plot could pass on another show, but Futurama is waaaaay better than that kind of bull**** lazy writing. In fact, it seems like the new episode's main problem is the story, all of which haven't felt up to par with the originals and all of which felt rushed, especially the endings (it honestly seems like the writers just couldn't come up with a good ending for all the new episodes so far). [/spoiler]

Gosh, I need to see these. I miss this show. When is it on?

It's a future show and they are making fun of stuff we made fun off/knew about 8 years ago. I mean i product hate? So old. It's 60 percent less funny thus it is NOT FUNNY. Still it is better than anything over at Adult Swim these days.
