** Tropers/{{ading}}: I concur completely. The portrayal of Not-Obama as an AuthorAvatar and PuritySue, with every other candidate being either clueless morons, if not outright [[PresidentEvil evil]] was bad enough, but what made it worse was that it seemed like Not-Obama and Leela were the only people on Earth who had those views.

** {{Troper/Knight9910}}: While all of the post-cancellation episodes were awful for me I agree, "The Duh-Vinci Code" stands out as one of the worst and marks the point where I gave up on the new episodes. It's the last part of the episode, where DaVinci is finally ridiculed to the point where he tries to kill everyone on his home planet. DaVinci's plan is stopped by Fry, who was only happy there because he was too dumb to realize he was being made fun of, and DaVinci dies in just about the most humiliating way possible. Assuming the writers weren't just being mean for the sake of being mean and were actually trying to make a point, what could that point possibly be? That the {{Jerkass}} aliens were the good guys? That it's okay to be a bully as long as you're objectively smarter/stronger/whatever than the person you're bullying? Not surprising, as the new Futurama's pathetic attempts at taking on current events are generally [[{{Anvilicious}} ham-fisted]], [[AuthorTract preachy]], and condescending to a point that borders on bullying anyone who doesn't share the writer's political views. See also: Proposition Infinity and Decision 3012, among others.

** I hated that episode for a different reason: the ending turned it all into a Shaggy Dog Story. To wit, a time paradox causes to Not-Obama to become {{RetGone}}, and Bender sums up the whole thing as "your vote doesn't matter anyway, hur hur."

* Tropers/{{Baronobeefdip}}: For me, it was the episode where Bender and Amy try to make Robot/Human relationships legal. Why? Well, for one thing, it had what we like to call the "AssPull [[StatusQuoIsGod Of God."]] Basically, the gist of the episode is that Bender and Amy fall in love, but, since "Robosexual" relationships are illegal, their love is forbidden. The two fight tooth-n-nail (metaphorically, not literally) to make Robosexuality legal. And, how does it end? Bender dumps Amy because he doesn't want to be in a monogamous relationship. Really? Really!? First of all, you CAN'T just have a major event happen to one (or more) character and then just hit the ResetButton so that everything is back to normal... especially in shows that follow some form of continuity like {{Futurama}} does. Second, last time I checked, an earlier episode already showed why Robosexual relationships are a bad idea. So...RetCon hypocrisy, anyone?

* Tropers/TheDogSage: The third skit of the Season 6 finale "Reincarnation" because it was just LAZY. It's basically an "anime parody" that plays like every other "anime parody" written by American writers who've never watched anime before. It's simply reusing the same tired jokes every "parody" like it told before, and shows that the writers' only research was watching those same parodies. Honestly, I expected better from {{Futurama}}.
* Tropers/{{Potatohawk}}: To me, the episode that most typifies everything thats been wrong with {{Futurama}} since its [[UnCanceled uncancellation]] is Attack of the Killer App. This is the moment where the show stopped being being the funny, slightly edgy, yet still touching show that I'd known and loved and started its long downward spiral into the oblivion of WereStillRelevantDammit, which the show had always been above before. The jokes the entire episode was built on were stale to the point of fossilization. There have been worse episodes since, but for me, this is where the decline really began.

* Animeking1108: ''Fun on an Bun,'' which shows Bender being Flanderized to the point of committing murder. To elaborate, he came in third place of a sausage making contest. When the neanderthals start attacking, Bender takes the opportunity to [[ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice impale the second place winner]] and [[DisneyVillainDeath pushed the first place winner down a cliff]]. Before, his ''Death to Humans'' speech was just an empty threat, but now this shows that Bender now joins [[TheSimpsons Homer Simpson]], [[SouthPark Eric Cartman]], and [[FamilyGuy Peter Griffin]] in JerkAss characters that were Flanderized to boardering on CompleteMonster territory.

* DarthJosh: In the episode that parodied the 2012 end of the world fiasco, Fry and Leela have a meaningful conversation on the roof of Planet Express. What set up as one of many HeartwarmingMoments ended with a cheap, not-so-very subtle TakeThat at ''Film/TronLegacy''. For starters, would a movie that's over a thousand years old really be so bad that people are talking about it in the future? Secondly, unlike most of their previous pot-shots, this was completely un-subtle. They might as well have said "Fuck subtlety, we hated ''Film/TronLegacy''."



* Tropers/{{romanatorX}}: I know that some ire will be raised by my choice, but I was really ticked off at the ending of "Parasites Lost". Basically, Fry realizes that Leela loves him with the parasites, so he decides to get rid of the parasites by putting himself in his own body. He comes back to Leela, who does not trust him when he states that he truly loves him. Leela then throws Fry out after Fry reveals a detail about his few weeks of dating Amy. Leela really did not appreciate that Fry almost sacrificed his life just to see if she really loved him or not. I know Leela has been used in the past, but come on! Even if only [[RescuedFromTheScrappyHeap for a brief while]], Leela became quite unlikeable.

* Tropers/{{Kalle}}: Hey, how about one before the cancellation? "A Pharoah to Remember" is particularly unwatchable for me, because it felt like Bender had been [[{{Flanderization}} flanderized]] into [[TookALevelInJerkass taking too many levels in jerkass]] for my liking -- I know it's part of his character, but his actions pushed it way too far for me to handle.

* RAZ: "The Duh-Vinci Code" was so bad that I not only quit watching the post-cancellation episodes but I've barely been able to tolerate the classic ones. The plot involving Da Vinci being an ageless alien was ridiculous enough, but things really kicked into overdrive during the third act as the show established its newly founded mean-spiritedness with the rest of Da Vinci's fellow aliens treating him like such complete shit that he turns crazy and tries to kill everyone. It sunk in for me just how much the writers loved amping up the cruelty in this show, and I've never wanted to look at it again since.

Replacing Dethroner


* DarthJosh: The second episode that aired on the new season premiere, Benderama. So, [[ItMakesSenseInContext after the world's water supply turned into alchohol]], everyone had no choice but to get wasted. Earlier in the episode, Bender and his clones made fun of an unnatractive giant that was sensitive about his appearance. He then came to Earth to appolgize to the Planet Express crew for his outburts that followed. However, everyone, being drunker than Creator/MelGibson on St. Patricks Day, started throwing more insults and even [[DudeNotFunny started attacking him like he's Godzilla]]. He then loses his temper and, justifiably, started destroying the city. So, Bender, being the only sober one, took his clones and freaking killed him. [[ClusterFBomb And everyone fucking cheers for Bender even though it was their fucking fault.]] Yeah, an innocent giant had to suffer because everyone around him was being a JerkAss. Wasn't this how Columbine started?

* Tropers/DoktorVonEurotrash: ''WesternAnimation/{{Futurama}}'''s second episode after the [[UnCanceled uncancellation]], ''In-A-Gadda-Da-Leela'', generally does a good job of spitting on Leela's normally tough ActionGirl character by having her naked, immobilised and in a cliché RescueRomance with [[HandsomeLech Zapp]] [[MilesGloriosus Brannigan]]. But then she finds out that he's been causing all their problems and tricking her in the hope of getting laid... this is when she'll kick his ass, right? Well, yes, but it's short-lived because a KillSat forces them to have sex, or it will blow up the Earth, so Leela goes ahead with it ([[DoubleStandardRapeFemaleOnMale despite Zapp no longer wanting to]]) in front of the rest of her crew and just off-camera. So, let me count the characters humiliated by this. Leela, because she's forced to sleep with a man she detests. Zapp, because he's been raped. And heck, Fry too, since as of the season premiere, he and Leela are after all supposed to be a couple.
* Tropers/{{Baronobeefdip}}: For me, it was the episode where Bender and Amy try to make Robot/Human relationships legal. Why? Well, for one thing, it had what we like to call the "AssPull [[StatusQuoIsGod Of God."]] Basically, the gist of the episode is that Bender and Amy fall in love, but, since "Robosexual" relationships are illegal, their love is forbidden. The two fight tooth-n-nail (metaphorically, not literally) to make Robosexuality legal. And, how does it end? Bender dumps Amy because he doesn't want to be in a monogamous relationship. Really? Really!? First of all, you CAN'T just have a major event happen to one (or more) character and then just hit the ResetButton so that everything is back to normal... especially in shows that follow some form of continuity like {{Futurama}} does. Second, last time I checked, an earlier episode already showed why Robosexual relationships are a bad idea. So...RetCon hypocrisy, anyone?
** Tropers/KashimaKitty: The part that really bugged me about that was Kiff's role in the episode. After finally deciding he's had enough of Amy's trampy ways, he breaks up with her. You'd think Amy would learn her lesson and appreciate her relationship more, especially after losing Bender, but what happens? Kiff goes crawling back to her, with a black leather jacket and a motorcycle, just like the bad boys she was [[AllGirlsWantBadBoys fawning over from the beginning.]] At least Bender ditching Amy made sense.
** Tropers/SteleResolve: For me, the episode was just blatantly stupid almost from beginning to end, with paper thin jokes and ham fisted allusions to Proposition 8 slapping the viewer in the face every other minute.

* Tropers/TheDragoness: All of these are bad, however there is one line in the final movie that does it for me.
-->"Prepare to be boarded again and again."
* Tropers/TheDogSage: The third skit of the Season 6 finale "Reincarnation" because it was just LAZY. It's basically an "anime parody" that plays like every other "anime parody" written by American writers who've never watched anime before. It's simply reusing the same tired jokes every "parody" like it told before, and shows that the writers' only research was watching those same parodies. Honestly, I expected better from {{Futurama}}.
* Tropers/{{Potatohawk}}: To me, the episode that most typifies everything thats been wrong with {{Futurama}} since its [[UnCanceled uncancellation]] is Attack of the Killer App. This is the moment where the show stopped being being the funny, slightly edgy, yet still touching show that I'd known and loved and started its long downward spiral into the oblivion of WereStillRelevantDammit, which the show had always been above before. The jokes the entire episode was built on were stale to the point of fossilization. There have been worse episodes since, but for me, this is where the decline really began.
* Tropers/AmuroNT1: I love ''Futurama'', but "Decision 3012" was beyond the shadow of a doubt the single worst episode they've made. The plot is an [[{{Anvilicious}} not at all disguised allegory]] for BarackObama's election, portraying his stand-in as the textbook definition of a MarySue whose only opposition is ignorant bigots who think he's an alien. And they take a swipe at the immigration debate by saying that Nixon's Head caused a BadFuture by blocking illegal (alien) immigration, and Not-Obama has to prevent that to save the day. Just to cap it all off, the episode was practically devoid of laughs partly because they refused to poke even the slightest bit of fun at Not-Obama, and partly because the only jokes they ''did'' attempt were about how petty and shallow his opponents are. An utter slap in the face to anyone who isn't a Democrat, and the kind of shoddy, lazy, unfunny writing you'd expect out of ''WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy'', not ''Futurama''.
* Tropers/{{Anarquistador}}: "Near Death Experience." Not only was it the second episode in a row where the crew re-visits a planet they've already been to (making me wonder if the writers are finally running out of ideas), but it featured an extremely tired old dig at ''Film/TheMatrix'' that had already been done to death ten years ago. All around, a highly disappointing episode featuring recycled jokes.
* DarthJosh: In the episode that parodied the 2012 end of the world fiasco, Fry and Leela have a meaningful conversation on the roof of Planet Express. What set up as one of many HeartwarmingMoments ended with a cheap, not-so-very subtle TakeThat at TronLegacy. For starters, would a movie that's over a thousand years old really be so bad that people are talking about it in the future? Secondly, unlike most of their previous pot-shots, this was completely un-subtle. They might as well have said "Fuck subtlety, we hated TronLegacy."
* RAZ: "The Duh-Vinci Code" was so bad that I not only quit watching the post-cancellation episodes but I've barely been able to tolerate the classic ones. The plot involving Da Vinci being an ageless alien was ridiculous enough, but things really kicked into overdrive during the third act as the show established its newly founded mean-spiritedness with the rest of Da Vinci's fellow aliens treating him like such complete shit that he turns crazy and tries to kill everyone. It sunk in for me just how much the writers loved amping up the cruelty in this show, and I've never wanted to look at it again since.

* Tropers/DoktorVonEurotrash: ''WesternAnimation/{{Futurama}}'''s second episode after the [[UnCanceled uncancellation]], ''In-A-Gadda-Da-Leela'', generally does a good job of spitting on Leela's normally tough ActionGirl character by having her naked, immobilised and in a cliché RescueRomance with [[HandsomeLech Zapp]] [[MilesGloriosus Brannigan]]. But then she finds out that he's been causing all their problems and tricking her in the hope of getting laid... this is when she'll kick his ass, right? Well, yes, but it's short-lived because a KillSat forces them to have sex, or it will blow up the Earth, so Leela goes ahead with it ([[DoubleStandardRapeFemaleOnMale despite Zapp no longer wanting to]]) in front of the rest of her crew and just off-camera. So, let me count the characters humiliated by this. Leela, because she's forced to sleep with a man she detests. Zapp, because he's been raped. And heck, Fry too, since as of the season premiere, he and Leela are after all supposed to be a couple.
* Tropers/{{Baronobeefdip}}: For me, it was the episode where Bender and Amy try to make Robot/Human relationships legal. Why?

The two fight tooth-n-nail (metaphorically, not literally) to make Robosexuality legal. And, how does it end? Bender dumps Amy because he doesn't want to be in a monogamous relationship. Really? Really!? First of all, you CAN'T just have a major event happen to one (or more) character and then just hit the ResetButton so that everything is back to normal... especially in shows that follow some form of continuity like {{Futurama}} does. Second, last time I checked, an earlier episode already showed why Robosexual relationships are a bad idea. So...RetCon hypocrisy, anyone?
** Tropers/KashimaKitty: The part that really bugged me about that was Kiff's role in the episode. After finally deciding he's had enough of Amy's trampy ways, he breaks up with her. You'd think Amy would learn her lesson and appreciate her relationship more, especially after losing Bender, but what happens? Kiff goes crawling back to her, with a black leather jacket and a motorcycle, just like the bad boys she was [[AllGirlsWantBadBoys fawning over from the beginning.]] At least Bender ditching Amy made sense.
** Tropers/SteleResolve: For me, the episode was just blatantly stupid almost from beginning to end, with paper thin jokes and ham fisted allusions to Proposition 8 slapping the viewer in the face every other minute.
* DarthJosh: The second episode that aired on the new season premiere, Benderama. So, [[ItMakesSenseInContext after the world's water supply turned into alchohol]], everyone had no choice but to get wasted. Earlier in the episode, Bender and his clones made fun of an unnatractive giant that was sensitive about his appearance. He then came to Earth to appolgize to the Planet Express crew for his outburts that followed. However, everyone, being drunker than Creator/MelGibson on St. Patricks Day, started throwing more insults and even [[DudeNotFunny started attacking him like he's Godzilla]]. He then loses his temper and, justifiably, started destroying the city. So, Bender, being the only sober one, took his clones and freaking killed him. [[ClusterFBomb And everyone fucking cheers for Bender even though it was their fucking fault.]] Yeah, an innocent giant had to suffer because everyone around him was being a JerkAss.

** Tropers/{{Baronobeefdip}}: For me, it was the episode where Bender and Amy try to make Robot/Human relationships legal. Why? Well, for one thing, it had what we like to call the "AssPull [[StatusQuoIsGod Of God."]] Basically, the gist of the episode is that Bender and Amy fall in love, but, since "Robosexual" relationships are illegal, their love is forbidden. The two fight tooth-n-nail (metaphorically, not literally) to make Robosexuality legal. And, how does it end? Bender dumps Amy because he doesn't want to be in a monogamous relationship. Really? Really!? First of all, you CAN'T just have a major event happen to one (or more) character and then just hit the ResetButton so that everything is back to normal... especially in shows that follow some form of continuity like {{Futurama}} does. Second, last time I checked, an earlier episode already showed why Robosexual relationships are a bad idea. So...RetCon hypocrisy, anyone?

** DarthJosh: The second episode that aired on the new season premiere, Benderama. So, [[ItMakesSenseInContext after the world's water supply turned into alchohol]], everyone had no choice but to get wasted. Earlier in the episode, Bender and his clones made fun of an unnatractive giant that was sensitive about his appearance. He then came to Earth to appolgize to the Planet Express crew for his outburts that followed. However, everyone, being drunker than Creator/MelGibson on St. Patricks Day, started throwing more insults and even [[DudeNotFunny started attacking him like he's Godzilla]]. He then loses his temper and, justifiably, started destroying the city. So, Bender, being the only sober one, took his clones and freaking killed him. [[ClusterFBomb And everyone fucking cheers for Bender even though it was their fucking fault.]] Yeah, an innocent giant had to suffer because everyone around him was being a JerkAss. Wasn't this how Columbine started?
** Tropers/TheDragoness: All of these are bad, however there is one line in the final movie that does it for me.

** Tropers/TheDogSage: The third skit of the Season 6 finale "Reincarnation" because it was just LAZY. It's basically an "anime parody" that plays like every other "anime parody" written by American writers who've never watched anime before. It's simply reusing the same tired jokes every "parody" like it told before, and shows that the writers' only research was watching those same parodies. Honestly, I expected better from {{Futurama}}.
** Tropers/{{Potatohawk}}: To me, the episode that most typifies everything thats been wrong with {{Futurama}} since its [[UnCanceled uncancellation]] is Attack of the Killer App. This is the moment where the show stopped being being the funny, slightly edgy, yet still touching show that I'd known and loved and started its long downward spiral into the oblivion of WereStillRelevantDammit, which the show had always been above before. The jokes the entire episode was built on were stale to the point of fossilization. There have been worse episodes since, but for me, this is where the decline really began.
** Tropers/AmuroNT1: I love ''Futurama'', but "Decision 3012" was beyond the shadow of a doubt the single worst episode they've made. The plot is an [[{{Anvilicious}} not at all disguised allegory]] for BarackObama's election, portraying his stand-in as the textbook definition of a MarySue whose only opposition is ignorant bigots who think he's an alien. And they take a swipe at the immigration debate by saying that Nixon's Head caused a BadFuture by blocking illegal (alien) immigration, and Not-Obama has to prevent that to save the day. Just to cap it all off, the episode was practically devoid of laughs partly because they refused to poke even the slightest bit of fun at Not-Obama, and partly because the only jokes they ''did'' attempt were about how petty and shallow his opponents are. An utter slap in the face to anyone who isn't a dyed-in-the-wool Democrat, and the kind of shoddy, lazy, unfunny writing you'd expect out of ''FamilyGuy'', not ''Futurama''.

* Tropers/DoktorVonEurotrash: ''WesternAnimation/{{Futurama}}'''s second episode after the [[UnCanceled uncancellation]], ''In-A-Gadda-Da-Leela'', generally does a good job of spitting on Leela's normally tough ActionGirl character by having her naked, immobilised and in a cliché RescueRomance with [[HandsomeLech Zapp]] [[MilesGloriosus Brannigan]]. But then she finds out that he's been causing all their problems and tricking her in the hope of getting laid... this is when she'll kick his ass, right? Well, yes, but it's short-lived because a KillSat forces them to have sex, or it will blow up the Earth, so Leela goes ahead with it ([[DoubleStandardRapeFemaleOnMale despite Zapp no longer wanting to]]) in front of the rest of her crew and just off-camera. So, let me count the characters humiliated by this. Leela, because she's forced to sleep with a man she detests. Zapp, because he's been raped. And heck, Fry too, since as of the season premiere, he and Leela are after all supposed to be a couple.

** Tropers/KashimaKitty: The part that really bugged me about that was Kiff's role in the episode. After finally deciding he's had enough of Amy's trampy ways, he breaks up with her. You'd think Amy would learn her lesson and appreciate her relationship more, especially after losing Bender, but what happens? Kiff goes crawling back to her, with a black leather jacket and a motorcycle, just like the bad boys she was [[AllGirlsWantBadBoys fawning over from the beginning.]] At least Bender ditching Amy made sense.
** Tropers/SteleResolve: For me, the episode was just blatantly stupid almost from beginning to end, with paper thin jokes and ham fisted allusions to Proposition 8 slapping the viewer in the face every other minute.
