The end of Jurassic Bark gets me every time.
Sniff.
-
wow, really? Huh. I am not really sure why it doesn't do that for me. Personally, the one where Fry saves Leela from the killer space bees gets me. Also, "time keeps on skipping..." at least I think that's the one.
-
The one where Bender meets God always gets me.
...it takes a light touch... is pretty much the only reasonable explanation for an uncaring God I've ever heard.
-
I have no idea what you're talking about, but I'll back you up, man. Gets me too. Right in the cockles of my heart, or maybe the sub-cockle area...hard to tell. Anyway, I digress. Is this Futurama?

The end of Jurassic Bark gets me every time.

SPOILERS (Jurassic Bark, Futurama)
Oh god seriously. I like to sing that song in the shower a lot when I'm depressed. I haven't seen the musical it's actually from, but I don't feel like I need to... I don't know who's singing it, or why her boyfriend is out of the picture, or what's so great about him that she plans to wait a thousand summers for his return... but I do know this: she did not actually wait a thousand summers for her dude to come back, and that frickin' dog really did. That song will never be about her again, it will always be about the dog.
I also hear people about the bee one, the god one, and the harlem globetrotters one. They are all awesome, with awesome endings. I also like the last one, in which fry finally learns to play the holophoner. Basically I am a sucker for any futurama episode with a schmaltzy ending.

Seconded.
I turned last nights doggy-ep off and went to take a shower due to incipient sadness.
The ones with a little heart tugging the Spouse will watch with me and understand I'm not mental.
-
yeah, the ending of Umberto D gets me for the same reason. basically dogs are better than people in terms of being the best friend you can ask for.
-
Oh, man, even if I think about Jurrasic Bark I want to cry. I am doing my best to not think about it right now. It is too sad. Too, too sad. I makes me want to snuggle my pets extra hard. *sniffs*
-
Damn straight... *sigh*
But then as has been pointed out, a number of the later episodes are just as bad... good. You know. They really did get to beyond-animation-level writing before Fox made another stupendously bad decision. I do look forward to more, after a frustratingly long wait.
-
I feel like I read once that the reason all the good episodes were in the last season was that Fox kept being like "you can't show this episode! it's not funny!" and so they had a backlog of sad episodes. I hope that is true, instead of "we are so depressed that we want to die that this is our last season. we are sharing this feeling."
My dog is so small. and cold. my mom took him someplace where they cut his hair short-- this makes him about 10 times cuter, but he is also now SO COLD. I periodically go downstairs and wrap him in a blanket and cuddle him so that he'll stop shivering.
And now my mom bought him a little sweater. We are those people.
