What's with all these Futurama posts lately? And this has to be the lamest of them all. It wasn't funny in the show and it's even less funny now it's been taken out of context. Matt Groening lost the plot somewhere around Simpsons season 5 and has been coasting on a wave of global sycophancy and lazy writing ever since. The only joke here is how far this has made it up the Top 15. No way am I going to condone this stupid bandwagon by upvoting this video. I mean, it's an insult to my intelliALL GLORY TO THE HYPNOTOAD

Looks like they got the whole staff in the audience. I spotted Matt Groening.

Edit: I should stop being a smartass, before I watch the whole thing and they say he's there...

Brilliant song. Double-upvote-plus-good.

Ant's Sift with the Futurama scene in which the song was used.

Also:
Liza Minelli's 1972 cover for the great 1964 film Umbrellas of Cherbourg.
Original (very different, lot more jazzy)

I've noticed that the consensus among Sifters is that Jurassic Bark is the best Futurama episode; my personal favorite though is without a doubt The Sting. Facts such as that it was the one that got Futurama nominated for an Emmy in 2003 AND that it's one among Matt Groening's 4 favorite episodes back me up

Great quote: "Valve are the new Matt Groening and TF2 is the new Simpsons."

Hmm, is this pro or con ID? In the real world, I doubt anyone would design someone like Homer Simpson. On the other hand, he _was_ intelligently designed (by Matt Groening).

That was SLY! Precursor to the woohoo goodness we now enjoy, I say.

I've been on the Interwebs too long. I thought this was new l33t spelling of "silly."


Yeah, I was using the cryptic videosift invocation to associate the video with the Matt Groening & Friends Appreciation channel.
