We tuned in expecting jokes and space hijinks.

What we got… was Seymour.

This wasn’t just a cartoon episode. It was a punch to the soul.

No dialogue. No manipulation. Just one dog… waiting.

Futurama showed us that animated stories could hit harder than real life.

Some of us still aren't over it.

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?
