Futurama

You’re spitting pure logic and I respect the hill you chose. But there’s something primal about Seymour’s wait—it taps into the kind of loyalty we wish people had for us.

That said: “He named his son after me” in Luck of the Fryish still punches me in the soul every time.

Real question: what’s the most underrated emotional Futurama episode?

Luck of the Fryrish is about a human connection that becomes more meaningful after Fry disappears. Yance honors his brother's memory and Philip becomes the first person on Mars, possibly because of the influence of Fry's memory. It's a story of triumph and victory, although also sad.

Game of Tones is a victorious story too.

Jurassic Bark takes a look at Fry in a low point of his life and the joy that Seymour gives him. The reward for that joy is tragedy. Seymour is left on his own, waiting for Fry. Retcon be damned, the story contained in that episode is devastating. There's no reunion, no understanding of old relationships that enrich them, just a long slow sad end.
