Just a stupid platform for jokes instead of a universe where unexpected things happen and stories are compelling. And they are bad jokes that sacrifice themselves to either be relevant to current meme ideas or to be like the original Futurama episodes.

May I ask, what Futurama episode do you feel is the best representation of what is a good, compelling story? Just trying to understand your personal expectations from past seasons. I personally enjoy the tie-ins to pop-culture, though I understand how many folks might disagree, but I feel every season seems to have their own connections to what events were relevant during their creation.

Sorry I'm not going to put a lot of effort into this but just check out the plot if "kif gets knocked up" from season 4. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kif_Gets_Knocked_Up_a_Notch

The universe events like getting a delivery job. The character emotions changing the plot unpredictably. The new direction of the episode where the viewer doesn't know what will happen next.

Versus this episode: open episode in planet express building and start with a few jokes and then kif walks in and says what the rest of episode will be about.

Gotta say though, Zapf Brannigan will always be funny. Bless him.

Ah yes. Thanks for the Kif episodes comparison. I understand better and appreciate your thoughts on the matter.
