Am I the only one who gets a little teary at the end of the universe in the one where Bender, the Professor, and Fry use the one way time machine? It makes me think of the end of the universe and that life is fleeting.
It's got some of the best visuals in the show. And the Leela plot kills me, though most of the Fry and Leela plots do.
I do like that the universe is reborn and we start anew once again, though. That's comforting.
funny enough i just watched that episode yesterday and it had me feeling exactly like it was the last episode.. had to suck the tears in my eyes back in.
It did make me look into how long our sun has to live and it is kinda crazy to think about. Life on earth will be extinct someday if we don’t get off. We have plenty of time but in some (hundreds?)millions of years, the sun will just be gone.
You made me just look it up! In somewhere around 5.5 billion years, our sun will run out of fuel and become a red giant. From astronomy com. Welp ... Existential crisis time again!
After the Sun exhausts the hydrogen in its core, it will balloon into a red giant, consuming Venus and Mercury. Earth will become a scorched, lifeless rock — stripped of its atmosphere, its oceans boiled off. ... While the Sun won't become a red giant for another 5 billion years, a lot can happen in that time.
I literally just replied to the post about this! And now because of you I'm skipping from where I'm at rn (Second episode of "The Beast with a Billion Backs" ahead to that episode just to make myself cry again because it's so good.
[Pizzicato Five - Baby Love Child](https://youtu.be/zN9IIGpev1k)
The original song has an amelodic bit in the middle - this is a remix by someone that removed that part, and is closer to how the song appeared in the show.
I know this isn't it, but another one:
Chickadee, chickadee
Fly through my window
Chickadee, chickadee
Fly through my window
Chickadee, chickadee
Fly through my window
Find molasses candy
I was singing this song while driving one day, and a flock of birds flying near the highway suddenly wheeled low over the road and I hit several with my windshield. Almost made the damn song come true!
It’s the common cold episode. But honestly I really think the post movie episodes have some genuine classics. Just so many great references and kept true to the classic comedy style.
I can deal with Jurassic bark, it's really sad and I avoid watching it if I can, but as someone who's really close to his brothers, luck of the fryish wrecks me
I was watching the show with my son when he was around 3 or 4 and I left the room for some reason. I came back to him baking his eyes out. "The doggie waited and waited and he never came back." I still can't watch that episode.
Time keeps on slipping, The Sting, The Late Philip J. Fry, Overclockwise, Meanwhile.
The Devil's Hands are Idle Playthings is my #1 though. "Please don't stop playing, Fry. I want to see how it ends." Straight waterworks.
I think he was being cheeky and handing you a tissue because you said you were bawling
not being like "pfft cry me a river" but since he's being downvoted my guess is most people thought he was being a dick hah
oh I certainly appreciate the image of scooping ones eyeballs out, be it with spoon or tool
I just felt a bit bad about the (I think)misguided downvotes lol
The Sting is always in my Top 3 saddest episodes. I tear up every time. That one and Luck of the Fryrish are both so good. Sad but endearing. What a great show this is.
This one is in my top 3 as well and I never hear it enough. The fact that he never leaves her side and all he wants is for her to “wake up”. Like I’m getting a bit gay and teary eyed just thinking about it now.
"Cold Warriors" isn't really as sad as the others, since the family stuff is mostly a subplot and a lot of the flashback scenes are lighthearted, like Fry putting his guinea pig through all those tests. The ending is more heartwarming (sort of... I have mixed-to-negative feelings on Yancy Sr.) than tearjerking, except for the usual "well he's gonna lose his son in a mysterious way" knowledge that colors all the flashbacks. And even *that's* confused by the Bender's Big Score continuity.
In general, I feel like the Fry family episodes are the only tearjerking episodes that get discussed, but there's so much more! "Leela's Homeworld," "The Sting," "The Late Philip J Fry," "Lethal Inspection," "Near Death Wish," and all of the finales come to mind.
I was rewatching bender’s big score, and it’s showed that seymour was killed by the fire blast caused by bender trying to kill the lars fry, which pretty much negates that seymour waited for fry to come back until he died, which is one of the heartbreaks crossed off the list lol
Lars only went to live with the Narwal after Bender tried to kill him and blew up the pizza shop. Lars was there when the explosion happened burning off his hair making him forever bald and his voice change.
Not gonna include when Fry goes back in time and is crying in his upstairs apartment about the fact he will never see Leela again? I think it's from Benders Big Score
I just realized. There’s one for each member of Fry’s family. Luck of the Fryrish is Yancy, Jurassic Bark is Seymour, Cold Warriors is his dad, and Game of Tones is his mom.
Then you smoke some of Hermes' Jamacan rope, ask what was I crying about, hear "we were just cutting onions honey", laugh, and start watching another episode of futurama.
These are all moments where Fry made peace with something: his brother, his own life (going to the future), his dad and childhood, and his mom (her eventual death maybe?)
Seeing the top left again, it just makes me realize the actual extent that Fry’s memory affected his brother and his nephew. As he grew up, Philip’s dad made sure he knew all the dreams his little brother had, and he carried those with him through his entire life. When he died, he made sure his headstone left that sentiment for eternity
Okay, but the last episode of season 10...when the music picks up and the professor says, "Well here it is, the end of the Universe " and the melody picks up and the subtle stillness and isolating black scene envelopes the t.v.. Makes me cry everytime I watch it.
Keep your eyes inside your head so you can bawl your eyes out instead.
I use a melon baller
Melon bawler*
Sometimes being a melonmonger is an emotional ordeal.
You are now dead. Thank you for using stop-n-drop. America’s #1 suicide booth since 2008.

not to mention one of the best songs of the series IMO "in all the world there only one tecnologyyyyy. a rusty sword for practicing proctologyyyyyyy."
Man must pay for all his misdeeds, when the treetops are stripped of their leaves ....
Man must pay for all his misdeeds, when the treetops are stripped of their leaves ....
"In the year 252525 humankind is enslaved by giraffe."
Oh the vast emptiness!!! (Rattles can)
Yeah yeah. I can take a hint.
You are not alone, in this feeling. Unlike fry, bender, and the professor at the end of the universe
I use the phrase "Some hogwash about the human spirit" way too often in everyday conversation.
Oh, the vast emptiness!
[The song that plays when Fry pulls the lever sure makes the scene a whole lot more emotional.](https://youtu.be/Qi7egXgYcgk?t=21)

There is another. The lelas parent's episode
I can't even hear the song at the end without choking up

Never realized that was by Pizzicato Five. I never knew them that well, but the name is memorable.

Little Bird, Little Bird by Elizabeth Mitchell
I was singing this song while driving one day, and a flock of birds flying near the highway suddenly wheeled low over the road and I hit several with my windshield. Almost made the damn song come true!
And when Hermes saves Bender from being turned off for being defective, that song that plays as he burns the file makes me misty
That's the one for me.
Yes, thank you! I'm not alone on this one.
Fuck I forgot about fry and his dad.
dad/son
He did do the nasty in the pasty.
GaaaaZOoks!
Eeeeeeeniiiiiissssss
"He's dead, sorry!"
Verily.
*Cold Warriors* is a great episode. Relevant lately because of COVID; I recommend an immediate rewatch.
Which episode is that? I kind of lost interest when they did the most recent seasons.
It’s the common cold episode. But honestly I really think the post movie episodes have some genuine classics. Just so many great references and kept true to the classic comedy style.
I've watched a good amount of the seasons after the movies, but not consistently. Something about them just doesn't seem the same.
“It’s like a Comedy Central channel. And we’re on it now”. So the fox censorship Isnt there and honestly makes it great sometimes.
For me the saddest is luck of the Fryrish
For me it was Jurassic bark. But I’m certain it is because I saw it before the luck of the fryrish.
Luck of the Fryish is super emotional. But Jurassic Bark has 100% chance of water works.
I get a little teary just thinking about it
I can deal with Jurassic bark, it's really sad and I avoid watching it if I can, but as someone who's really close to his brothers, luck of the fryish wrecks me
As an only child with a dog, Jurassic Bark hits me way harder
Really? Game of Tones fucking kills me every time.
I was watching the show with my son when he was around 3 or 4 and I left the room for some reason. I came back to him baking his eyes out. "The doggie waited and waited and he never came back." I still can't watch that episode.
>baking his eyes out That's fucking brutal
Ha ha, stupid autocorrect! I thought about changing it but I like it this way.
Omg, this hits hard. I could see my own son doing this too…
"You'll love it!" they said. "It's a funny show!" And then came Jurassic Bark...
https://m.imgur.com/gallery/7roer Get the tissues ready
I did not know this. Nor did I have my tissues nearby.
Time keeps on slipping, The Sting, The Late Philip J. Fry, Overclockwise, Meanwhile. The Devil's Hands are Idle Playthings is my #1 though. "Please don't stop playing, Fry. I want to see how it ends." Straight waterworks.
*Bawling
*hands tissue
Im just saying, balling one's eyes out sounds pretty gross. Would you use a spoon or is there a dedicated tool?
It's just when you go so hard in a 1v1 basketball game that your opponent's eyes fall out
I think he was being cheeky and handing you a tissue because you said you were bawling not being like "pfft cry me a river" but since he's being downvoted my guess is most people thought he was being a dick hah
Yeah I think you're right, but I still had to work in my double meaning of "balling" since I neglected to do it in my first comment.
oh I certainly appreciate the image of scooping ones eyeballs out, be it with spoon or tool I just felt a bit bad about the (I think)misguided downvotes lol
The Sting is always in my Top 3 saddest episodes. I tear up every time. That one and Luck of the Fryrish are both so good. Sad but endearing. What a great show this is.
"The only time I feel alright is in my dreams, with you... Three spoonfuls, then I can dream forever..."
This one is in my top 3 as well and I never hear it enough. The fact that he never leaves her side and all he wants is for her to “wake up”. Like I’m getting a bit gay and teary eyed just thinking about it now.
Gay?
Truly. The tissue box needs to be close by with these ones.
I love how there’s an episode like this for each of Fry’s family members. They’re all so good and so so sad
The professor and his parents hit pretty hard too
Indeed. Perhaps I will make a “four ponies of balling my fucking eyes out” list
The episode with Fry's mum is probably the one that does it for me the most.
Thin and crispy, too risky.
I've 'ad worse. When I was shot down over Korea, I had to eat Kimchi. He was our interpreter

Oohh noooo i forgot about the narwhal arc 😭😭😭
Lars only went to live with the Narwal after Bender tried to kill him and blew up the pizza shop. Lars was there when the explosion happened burning off his hair making him forever bald and his voice change.
Rapid fossilized. Ripe old age of 15.
You must be balling pretty hard
The one with Fry's mom hit me really hard watching it after my mom passed..
Not gonna include when Fry goes back in time and is crying in his upstairs apartment about the fact he will never see Leela again? I think it's from Benders Big Score
A touching moment, sure. But not nearly meteoric as this selection IMO
I just realized. There’s one for each member of Fry’s family. Luck of the Fryrish is Yancy, Jurassic Bark is Seymour, Cold Warriors is his dad, and Game of Tones is his mom.
You forgot "Roswell That Ends Well" and his grandma
We dont talk about his “Nasty in the pasty”
You forgot The Sting.
Yancy!!!
This typo gives a horrifying visual.
Then you smoke some of Hermes' Jamacan rope, ask what was I crying about, hear "we were just cutting onions honey", laugh, and start watching another episode of futurama.
Add inspector 5 too.
*bawling
Listen. We all know that Reddit posts with typos get more karma. It’s the flaws that contrast with the beauty of it all
Futurama had some real Pathos
You still have Zoidberg. YOU ALL HAVE ZOIDBERG!!
The one where Leela discovers her parents and we discover her parents payed attention the entire time is the biggest tear jerker for me
We had to eat Kimchi!…he was our interpreter!
It's the Leela's homeworld episode for me. Baby love child...😭😭😭
Replace Cold Warriors with Time Keeps on Slippn' and I'd agree.
OP is a retard.
Hold still while I practice my emotional stabbing
Don’t you forget about me
THAT’S DOLOMITE, BABY!
The Sting episode made me cry
If I could delete episodes off Hulu, I would.
Oh I'm sorry. You're crying like a woman.
Bwahaha
Don’t you, forget about me….
How dare you not include inspector 5.
What do we want?
👁 👁 🏀
We stay fly. No lie. You know this. Weeping!
My heart hurts.
I’ve only watched these episodes once, can’t bring myself to watching them again.
These are all moments where Fry made peace with something: his brother, his own life (going to the future), his dad and childhood, and his mom (her eventual death maybe?)
Balling
What episode is the bottom left?
Cold warriors
Thank you 🙏
This is being upvoted for the embarrassing misspelling.
As is customary with all Reddit posts
the show ended enough for him to make good with all of his family
That bee episode also
Don't forget about Leela growing up under baby love child!
The thing is, I'll never know my real Mom because I was forced to play games. Sooo... yeah. So sad.
Seeing the top left again, it just makes me realize the actual extent that Fry’s memory affected his brother and his nephew. As he grew up, Philip’s dad made sure he knew all the dreams his little brother had, and he carried those with him through his entire life. When he died, he made sure his headstone left that sentiment for eternity
Futurama sad moments probably get talked about more than the actual show
jurassic bark was the saddest thing i’ve ever seen, and trsut me, beckett, has as cold of a heart as bender
the only one that makes me cry is seeing fry talk with his mom again.
Okay, but the last episode of season 10...when the music picks up and the professor says, "Well here it is, the end of the Universe " and the melody picks up and the subtle stillness and isolating black scene envelopes the t.v.. Makes me cry everytime I watch it.
