Watch all three of Futurama‘s amazing reincarnations!

Futurama’s season finale saved the best for last, with three absolutely hysterical pastiches of classic black-and-white cartoons, 8-bit video games, and – in one of the greatest segments in Futurama history – every possible cliche of ludicrous, poorly dubbed anime.

Want to shed some pounds? It’s not that difficult if you can leave your limited environment for one where you’re challenged and interact with more people.

Clams Filled with Cocaine

We need to consider, as a society, that we’ve run out of decent ways to smuggle cocaine.
