"Futurama" is a show that continues to stand the test of time. For the past 23 years, it has captured the hearts of fans around the world. With the recent announcement that, almost 10 years after it last aired, "Futurama" is returning (https://www.looper.com/784708/futurama-fans-just-got-the-revival-casting-news-theyve-been-waiting-for/) for a new 20-episode season on the streaming platform, Hulu, it is no surprise that people are still talking about the series' classic episodes. There are many memorable moments, like the heartbreaking episode "Jurassic Bark," (https://www.looper.com/469088/30-best-futurama-episodes-ranked/) and the ever-infamous snu snu, but there are some moments that fans are still discovering — or rediscovering — even after all of these years.
The straight-to-DVD film, "Into the Wild Green Yonder," was the series finale movie that was made when Fox canceled "Futurama" — before the show was picked up again by Comedy Central (https://www.looper.com/362072/how-many-times-did-futurama-actually-get-canceled/), saving it from an untimely demise. The film was a way to make sure that any loose ends might have been a bit tidier and to give the fans one last hurrah, and it did come with a notable moment that fans continue to discuss to this day.
