But why is Barack Obama milking cows.

I'm guessing this phrase is sarcasm, satire, and/or mocking conservatives/republicans/racists? I've heard it before but I forget

[-] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

Yes. These days you mostly see "orange man bad" and conservatives think it's a savage burn. Because they think the rest of us hate Trump because he's orange or something.

[-] [email protected] 11 points 9 months ago

Because racists were mad. And are, and will continue to be.

But... but Futurama didn't get a reboot, it got a new season that builds upon the existing story.

A reboot means creating a new version or adaptation of an existing show and that's not the case.

Futurama is like a whale that periodically comes up for air.

I would know, I'm a whale biologist.

On the moon.

I hate Hulu so much for changing the intro to include Hulurama

[-] [email protected] 28 points 9 months ago

Tbh I think Futurama is perfect for streaming. It’s a fantastic show that I could easily binge but I’m just not feeling the waiting each week for an episode. Some shows I will wait for the episode and will plan for time to watch the premiere. But Futurama, I keep forgetting about. I’m enjoying the episodes and think it’s a great season, but I’m forgetting about it shortly after. I would gladly binge 10 episodes once or twice a year though and be happy with that.

[-] [email protected] 23 points 9 months ago

Do you have any idea how easy it is to calculate the success of a reboot? They are not aiming for awesome with these. They just need it to meet the lower end of the estimate of people that say they would watch a reboot of a familiar popular show. These are zero risk endeavors. Blame statistics and big data. Depressing but this isn't going to stop.

[-] [email protected] 21 points 9 months ago

Odd and mildly disconcerting choice of meme format...

[-] [email protected] 18 points 9 months ago

In some cases the cow has died and they are trying milk the ground where there the cow stood.

[-] [email protected] 14 points 9 months ago

Is the new Futurama any good?

[-] [email protected] 14 points 9 months ago

It feels the same as the later season of the show. Some people would say that isn't the hight of the show, but I still really like it

[-] [email protected] 13 points 9 months ago

I didn't enjoy the latest season of futurama as much, but I did like all the previous reboots it had before the most recent. It was still good enough to watch though so can't complain.

[-] [email protected] 11 points 9 months ago

Haven't been a fan of it until the last two episodes that have come out, those were pretty good. When they abandon "current" culture references as the core joke and just have a self contained Futurama esque story it still works

[-] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago

Except the latest episode seems like it was written by chatgpt...

[-] [email protected] 9 points 9 months ago

We're back, baby!

[-] [email protected] 9 points 9 months ago

I'd really like a Reboot reboot, a legitimate one though

[-] [email protected] 2 points 9 months ago

I thought they did reboot Reboot, was it like a in name only reboot of Reboot?

[-] [email protected] 2 points 9 months ago

That was a live-action Code Lyoko, misnamed and half-assed

[-] [email protected] 2 points 9 months ago

Not familiar with Code Lyoko, but the premise of the new ReBoot reminded me strongly of Superhuman Samurai Syber Squad.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 9 months ago

I might be a bit rusty but... It was an animated series that revolved around four kids helping an AI in a supercomputer that's in some abandoned building. While the 'nerd' of the group helps from outside and the other three enter it through theses virtualization pods in a secret room. When in the virtual world the kids also get these costumes that give them combative tools/abilities. The main mission being to help fight some malicious force that is trying to take over the computer (and get out).

[-] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago

Your description sounds way cooler than the show I remember groaning about when it came on.

[-] [email protected] 8 points 9 months ago

There won't be any reboots of the greatest shows ever made, like Malcom in the middle

[-] [email protected] 10 points 9 months ago

Ugh, they'll probably call it Malcomer in the Middler and it'll be the three brothers as adults living together with their annoying kids.

[-] [email protected] 9 points 9 months ago

Write that down, write that down - Hollywood Executive, probably

[-] [email protected] 4 points 9 months ago

Well, the lead of that one had traumatic brain damage and has memory troubles, so the reboot is pretty difficult.

[-] [email protected] 6 points 9 months ago

I've only watched the first episode of the new season but it already feels like they have a better stride than in past reboots. Even the joke about getting cancelled still landed despite it being a pretty overused topic in comedy currently.

[-] [email protected] 6 points 9 months ago

Gotta be real, I really enjoyed the Animaniacs reboot.

Self-referential comedy just keeps working.

[-] [email protected] 6 points 9 months ago

Did I miss the Daria reboot.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 9 months ago

Hmmmmm now you’ve kind of caught me.

If they are able to use a proper soundtrack I’d make an exception for this show.

[-] [email protected] 5 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

Ever watched tv in the 90s? Same. Love boat, Magnum p.i., general hospital, a-team, the list goes on. Hm, it seems the entertainment industry doesn't care about good products, just about money. Surprise. But maybe - just maybe - it'll suffer if people don't watch that crap anymore. But that won't happen. It's not the greedy necromancers, it's the consumer that's broken and enables the scheme. Btw: that's the meme that completely incorporates anything in the modern capitalist world, including exploited humans.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 9 months ago

As much as I am not a huge fan of reboots in general for TV shows/movies/series/etcetera, I really want to see a reboot of Swat Kats: The Radical Squadron.

The meme definitely holds true, though.

[-] [email protected] 0 points 9 months ago

Probably wanted exempted (or is the exception).

[-] [email protected] -1 points 9 months ago

In some cases the cow has died and they are trying milk the ground where there the cow stood.

[-] [email protected] -3 points 9 months ago

*excempted

You can edit the title.

[-] [email protected] 10 points 9 months ago

are you trying to say "exempted"?

[-] [email protected] 3 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

I would assume they are, but the correct word here is actually exempt, with no -ed.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

Well now that's what I call "a lesson" I hope everybody learned one, cause I sure did. Thank you kind educated strangers.
