Futurama couldn't repeat South Park's trick.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Futurama season 11's pandemic parody episode is finally out, but the episode sadly fails where South Park famously succeeded. Much like South Park, Futurama is an irreverent adult animated comedy that tackles modern politics, news, and pop culture through its zany lens. One of the biggest topics in recent years has been the COVID-19 pandemic, with the event being the subject of all sorts of television comedy.
Futurama is back, with Hulu reviving the beloved Matt Groening animated sci-fi series for an eleventh season over a decade after the show last went off the air. Due to the massive time gap between seasons, a lot has happened since the Planet Express crew was last seen, meaning that Futurama unsurprisingly decided to take on the COVID-19 pandemic.
Futurama's "Rage Against The Vaccine" Is Already Dated By 3 Years Futurama season 11's "Rage Against the Vaccine" episode is a fairly cookie-cutter COVID-19 parody story, with it featuring many of the jokes and topics that have become overused in the three years since the pandemic started.
Futurama Season 11 Weirdly Plays Into COVID-19 Conspiracy Theories Another weird aspect of Futurama season 11, episode 7 that hurts the episode is that many of the jokes weirdly play into COVID-19 conspiracy theories. For example, the episode heavily covers the topic of the vaccine, with Professor Farnsworth and Professor Wernstrom both making competing cures for Explovid-23.
Futurama Doesn't Use Trademark Sci-Fi For COVID-19 Parody One of the biggest problems with Futurama's COVID-19 parody, however, is that it doesn't put its trademark sci-fi touch on the topic. Yes there are aliens and voodoo, but the episode fails to center its pandemic storyline on a high-concept sci-fi plot, something that the best Futurama episodes always do. Due to Futurama's unique setting and premise, the pandemic special could have truly been a unique take on COVID-19.
