These are more clever than I remember, and I'm amazed at how many I don't remember at all. Favorite so far: "Not The Episode With The Dead Dog"

Watched that episode with the dead dog once. Almost cried. Never watched it again.

Multiple Futurama episodes got tears out of me. I think it's a normal and natural thing to be touched by a piece of media to the point of tears. I've watched them again in fact.

All the quotes are in pictures with the alt text being only the number of the episode. Online accessibility at its best.

This is not the way to get people on board with accessibility. Open a PR and fix the issue or come up with ways to make accessibility an easier branch to reach or more common knowledge.

It is a bit funny that you are complaining from the style of my complaining. Not offering a better way to do it brings the discussion to my level, which is a bit sad.

Anyways, the reason that such situations piss me so much is because of the sucker punch that they feel like. You click on something that is text, it can't be anything but text, yet someone has converted it to a picture to make it pop up easier in social media which by the way excludes me from the fun that I expected to share.

The original episodes do not caption the text either. It's not like anything is lost by living up to that standard here.

Futurama is great! I wish it would have gotten more popular but I guess most masterpieces aren’t appreciated on their time.

I can confidently say that some of best tv writing I have seen is from Futurama. Totally recommend it to anyone who hasn’t seen it.

I'm currently behind a corporate firewall which blocks Imgur. Not being very familiar with Futurama, I thought the entire joke was that the quote for episode 1 was "Episode 1", the quote for episode 2 was "Episode 2", and so on.

My understanding is that the Episode 111 quote is the only instance of "not sure if" on the show, and it was in reference to the Internet meme, not the other way around.

So that one is probably my favorite.

There is also a list of opening cartoons: https://www.theinfosphere.org/List_of_opening_cartoons

I used to be able to know these captions by heart, and knew the episode by caption alone. Can't do that anymore.

And here is a list with some additional trivia: https://www.theinfosphere.org/List_of_title_captions
