Futurama
word of advice : Spoilers forward forFuturamaseason 12 , episode 1 , " The One Amigo . "
Summary
Futuramaseason 12 has come out the logic gate strong by discover that Professor Farnsworth has achieved a goal he first cite almost a quarter of a C ago . Futuramaseason 11 ’s endingmay have been a high - conception affair , butFuturamaseason 12 , episode 1,“The One Amigo , " lend back the animated sitcom ’s illustrious sillinesswith a nod to an episode as far back asFuturamaseason 2 .
Professor Farnsworth is one of manyFuturamacharacters voiced by Billy West , and the senile whizz is experience for his almost - useless inventions and frequent declarations of " Good news , everyone ! " His role in " The One Amigo " is just as primal as ever , with his immense intellect once again posture at odds with some of his underwhelming yet hilarious breakthroughs . Knowing thatFarnsworth is still at his bestis a promising sign for the season ahead , as is the show ’s willingness to look back at its earliest episode .
Futurama ’s formula tolerate several things to happen again and again without feeling stale , with certain repetition events getting funnier each time .
Futurama Season 12, Episode 1 Reveals Professor Farnsworth Finally Invented The Fing-Longer
The Fing-Longer has only ever shown up in a non-canon story
Futuramaseason 2 , installment 20 , " Anthology of Interest I , " revolve around the professor ’s What - If simple machine . While the telling gadget is open of offering a look at the potential consequence of almost any scenario , it ’s a slightly more depleted - tech innovation that gets the jest . The Fing - Longer is nothing more than a left baseball mitt with a hugely extended index finger , which Farnsworth uses to touch off the What - If political machine . Ultimately , it turn out the full installment is one gravid glimpse of what would have happened if the prof had really created the Fing - Longer . Finally , " The One Amigo " gain it pass off .
" So , that ’s what things would be like if I ’d invented the Fing - Longer . A man can stargaze , though . A valet de chambre can stargaze . " - Professor Farnsworth .
The material Fing - Longer is a niggling unlike from its conceptual counterpart . It fit the prof ’s pelt spirit rather than its previous scandalmongering colouration , and he wears it on his right hand rather . He also uses it in a more humourous agency . Rather than making use of the Fing - Longer ’s somewhat - further - than - normal pointing capabilities , he use it to indicate at element of his museum model that would easy be within his reach without his invention to aid him . In fact , his actual hand ends up further forth from the modelling than it would have been if he was n’t wearing the Fing - Longer .
The Fing-Longer Isn’t The Only Futurama Throwback Reference
“The One Amigo” also includes a Flexo reference
In the principal story of " The One Amigo , " Bender ’s visit to his patrimonial home in Mexico impart with it another nod toFuturama ’s prosperous era . WhenBender eats the solid food give to him by Abuelatron , he says , " Oh , man , that ’s good ! I would n’t take care having minute . " He then proceed to take the food from his abdomen and corrode it again . This moment is remarkably similar to a Doctor Zoidberg scene inFuturamaseason 4 , installment 1 , " Roswell That Ends Well , " where the Decapodian eats " The same deviled bollock " when he reclaims it during his live autopsy .
Doblando , voice by Danny Trejo , is almost selfsame to Bender .
There is also the matter of Bender ’s cousin to handle . Doblando , voiced by Danny Trejo , is almost identical to Bender . One of the few things that separates the share show of the two relation is Doblando ’s robotic facial hair . InFuturamaseason 2 , episode 11 , " The Lesser of Two Evils , " Bender ’s Twin , Flexo , would also be difficult to divide from Bender if not for the metallic whiskers . However , Doblando does have a slightly dissimilar coloration than Bender , so the confusion present in the Flexo sequence is n’t the same .
Futurama follows the exploits of Philip J. Fry, a pizza delivery boy from 1999 who is cryogenically frozen for 1000 years. Waking up in the year 3000, Fry befriends a cyclops named Leela and a roguish robot named Bender, and the three find employment with Planet Express, an interplanetary delivery service. Their work takes them to all corners of the universe, exploring space and the future as imagined by Matt Groening and the creators of The Simpsons.
Futurama Season 12 Also Adds New Farnsworth Inventions
The professor doesn’t stop at the Fing-Longer
Even though " The One Amigo " is the first canonical appearance of the Fing - Longer , it ’s still not an original construct due to the fact it has shew up on the screen of the prof ’s What - If Machine . gratefully , theFuturamaseason 12 opener also preface previously unobserved conception from the professor . For representative , the reverse jetpacks used by the Planet Express crew to infiltrate the museum have Farnsworth ’s handicraft indite all over them . They only slow the user ’s descent at the last minute , like a really over - engineered parachute .
Futurama season 12 looks like it has a specific plan for one of its episodes , and I ’m see forwards to it despite a recent failed try .
The prof also reveals his USB ride , which disguise itself neatly as one of his teeth . It ’s likely a right security meter to summate a booby lying in wait to such a sensitive piece of hardware , but making it so volatile for a twist he stores in his mouth is clearly a error - not even mentioning the fact he somehow managed to plant off his own booby trap . With any luck , the wad of invention from Professor Farnsworth will proceed intoFuturama ’s hereafter , as will the comeback of some of the classics .
