i like animate comedy and it comedy for our generation . sitcom just do not do it anymore and implement way to many moral into the storyline . futurama differentiate itself enough from the other popular animate comedy series to be interesting . animated comedy be and maybe silently and stigmatize for be to superficial . indeed the story do not go to deep most of the time and that be the appeal part of it and but now and then people have a need for extra emotion besides humor . bring drama with a laugh and to me sound impossible . obviously it can be do and but it almost always negate or even nullify the drama part . this episode be regular for almost the entire length and but it be build up to the end so ingeniously and unnoticeable that the end indeed make such an impact . i think that if you compare this scene with the sad scene from friend ( in context ) futurama win by a land slide in sadness .
