Everyone talks about Jurassic Bark and Luck of the Fryish…
But what about the ones that hit quietly and never got the love they deserved?
- Lethal Inspection — Baby Bender. Hermes. That final reveal. Gut punch.
- Cold Warriors — That father-son silence? Brutal.
- The Late Philip J. Fry — Time skips and a rose that says “I never stopped trying.”
What’s your sleeper Futurama pain episode?

The one where fry has the worms.
He’s bluffing! No creature would willingly make an idiot out of itself!
Obviously, you’ve never been in love!
Fry giving up literal brain-boosting superworms just to prove Leela could love the real him… That’s one of the rawest character moments in the whole series. Fry doesn’t just grow—he chooses vulnerability. Peak Futurama.
Same, I fucking laughed and sighed for that whole episode. Haven’t really checked anything from the newer block of seasons for fear the writing wasn’t as good.
It’s always been my favorite episode. So many great jokes in it but it’s also one of those episodes that boils down to the heart of the story. Pursuit of love will make people do crazy things because it’s really the only thing worth going crazy for.
Just wanted to say thanks for posting this :D
My pleasure 🫡
Why did you have to remind me of this. 😢
Dog
Quick, throw it in the soup before Fry notices.
Jesus I’m fighting back tears while sitting at a bar.
Awesome.
Game of Tones is one of my favorite episodes of the whole show but I don’t think I’d call it underrated. I feel like it’s pretty constantly mentioned when talking about sad episodes.
It doesn’t hit as hard as some of the other ones, but I’ll add “Time Keeps On Slippin’” to the list, and an honorable mention to “Leela’s Homeworld” although one could probably say that got a little heavy-handed.
