I shouldn't be laughing because someone got run over, but that's some looney tunes shit right there.

I mean there was the time where a cop pulled over a self driving car and the car started to run from the cops before it pulled over again

But this Futurama episode was already done (and purposely copied in the episode) by the 1983 movie about a possessed 1958 Plymouth Fury. The movie and the possessed car in it was named "Christine". That's also a Plymouth fury in the same colors in the Futurama episode.

The point of the Futurama cars is that they're AIs/robots with robo-lycanthropy

[–] AWistfulNihilist@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Are you suggesting the Cruz vehicle had robo lycanthropy??!!?

No, that's just the meme image.

The Cruz did it for the love of the game.

And also Bender's car form was derived from the 1977 horror B-movie The Car, which was a Lincoln Continental modified to have a menacing visage.

And the movie is the adaptation of a Stephen King book

So if Futurama takes over the whole "Simpsons did it" thing, what does that mean for Matt Groening's latest work Disenchantment?

[–] Xanthrax@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

I always wanted to get into Disenchanted, but Fry's counterpart annoys me too much.

I better stop fucking fish for one thing

The new Simpsons like "the new season is very bad and it’s going downhill"?

[–] elbarto777@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

No. More like "Simpsons did it."

It's not all bad, most were decent. The Christmas episode and finale were great!
