I remember checking Jeffs profile a while ago, and saw on his hate list, that he included futurama. Why is that?
It dosent bother me at all, but as you can see, i am a futurama fan. It dosent bother me at all that Jeff hates it, and thats cool. But im curious why he would include this on his list? i mean, its such a small thing, and its not really a super well know show. It just dosent seem to be a thing to hate. I mean i really dont like family guy, properly in the same way jeff dosent like futurama, But i wouldnt include this on any list i would make.
has he adressed this ever?
also, perhaps im obsessing to much over a tiny thing?
i dunno

Why does Jeff hate Futurama?
" Because he hates lots of things. I find that Jeff and Ryan hate a lot of things for no reason. "i know that Ryan and Jeff hates alot of things, and they have said this on a number of occassions, but really, i think its mostly joking
First season is kind of bad. They recycled jokes from the Simpsons, and as big of a fan of puns as I am, they went for a lot of low hanging fruit. It got smarter later on and most of the movies were pretty solid (I actually think they should have just continued making movies instead of bringing the show back personally). I can see why Jeff watching certain episodes of Futurama would make him not a fan.
not helping, adding anything to the conversation, other than HATEFUEL/OBVIOUS TROLLING LOL SO HARD
get out
" Jeff seems to have a lot of strong opinions, both positive and negative, about a lot of things. It kind of makes sense being a critic and all. Some things just rub people the wrong way for rational reasons or not. "Anyone who is upset that someone they don't even know thinks their tv show/game/music/movie is dumb deserves to be upset at themselves for being insane more than anything else.
" @Jethuty: so anytime somebody doesn't like something someone else likes it is trolling? There have been several posts where people post that they don't like something I do. Somebody just posted that they didn't like Assassins Creed which I think is a really good game but I didn't get upset and call them a troll. "I guess Jeff is a troll for not liking what the OP likes. Good going Jeff jeez.
nope, but the fact that you disregard several points i made in my post, and the fact that you go straight after the man instead of the ball. The only purpose your comments have, is to start a flamewar/make me rage, and i really dont care for it.
hey, you can have different opinions, we cant all like the same things, because that would be horrible, but thats not what you intended. its pretty fucking clear and im not going to feed this any more.
if you actually have something worthwhile to add to the conversation, be my guest. if not, get out
i can spot the difference between a troll and a person with a different opinion, but boy, you reak of troll.
" @Demigonis said:I don't think anyone is upset here. The OP simply seemed curious if there was a documented reason for Jeff's distaste of Futurama."

Anyways, it's better to send it in as a Bombcast question. Or maybe Jeff might come across this sooner or later.
Maybe he is being sarcastic. Like with the whole "anime is for jerks" thing.
Also I like the show, but I don't want them to come back to TV. The Simpsons is one of the worst shows around now. Its just a paycheck for them. I don't want them to do that to Futurama too.
Seriously, the Simpsons should just give up. They haven't had even a decent episode in years. Its sad to see such a epic awesome show reduced to pure crap.
50 bucks on Futurama being turned into crap in order to compete with Seth Macfarlane shows. Maybe Jeff can just see the future of the show. He knows it's better to burn out then to fade away.
The show died when they made homer gay.
This, im seriously worried for the future of futurama. Either its going to be a glorious return. Or most likely. The new simpsons for nerds."

Thanks bro, Thats exactly what my post was about, but assholes are going to be assholes.
Also, i dont think that would be used as a bombcast question or brought up. you think it would?

im a pretty laid back guy, and i usually block stuff like this out. But you come into "my" thread, start making stupid accusations and statements no one really cares about, with the only intent to piss me off. stop telling me to stfu and go away please
Honestly? I'd wager that he hates Futurama fans more than he actually hates Futurama. Futurama fans tend to be the sort of obsessive, awkward, spergy nerd stereotype, and that is entirely what Giant Bomb isn't about.
i wish more people would read what i posted to start with. Why does everyone have to be a dick?
god this commuity.
I LOVED Futurama the series.
I really disliked the movies. The first one was OK, all the rest.....really bad.
Hope the series doesn't turn to fail the way the Simpsons has.
I have a dislike for Futurama, Family Guy, and South Park. I wouldn't say "hate" yet, because my knowledge of them is pretty limited, but I tend to find those shows simply unappealing to me in any way. I used to think it was an age thing, but now I am starting to wonder if it is simply a me thing.
I'm the one that put that.
Jeff said that he hates Futurama years ago on the HotSpot. Mr. Davis was on that episode and he was talking about how glad he is that Futurama is going back on the air. Then Jeff said that Futurama is an awful show.
" @clubsandwich said:I think we all need to send each other the best videos of adult animated shows that we hate. Like if some dude doesnt like Aqua Teen Hunger Force then I'd send him the Hand banana episode and if that doesnt change his mind then he never speaks about that series negatively again. Just that he doesnt like it." @bhhawks78 said:Opinions, opinions......Again NOT what i was searching for. "" Because it's awful why else? "I second this statement. "
So... I hate futurama, I'm not fond of Robot chicken, and.... I don't know many others. So send me some of the greatest episodes of those to change my mind.
I thought I heard a song in one of the interview videos that sounded a LOT like the Futurama theme. That's usually when they play the staff's own music.
Futurama is in my top three TV series ever. Maybe number one.
I expect nearly everybody to hate the show my avatar is from: Xavier - Renegade Angel.
" i wish more people would read what i posted to start with. Why does everyone have to be a dick? god this commuity. "The only thing I got from the original post is you want to know why Jeff doesn't like Futurama and if you take all the post out that didn't answer the question then the thread would be blank because Jeff hasn't come in here to explain his dislike for Futurama and every speculation as to why is met with you calling the poster a troll. The only reason he wouldn't like it is for negative reasons and you get mad when somebody says something negative about the show. It would be like me asking why doesn't somebody like Halo and then getting mad when somebody says something negative about it. By the way calling it "your" thread is childish. You put it out here so it becomes the community's thread.
