Those times Futurama said what we were all thinking...

The adult sitcom industry has long since served as a vessel for people to voice their opinions on a number of issues. Be it political, environmental or social, it has probably been subtly commented on somehow with the use of comedy to soften the blow. Adult animation series such as Family Guy, Futurama and American Dad are known for subtle and sometimes not so subtle remarks or episodes about a number of issues.
Whether or not they are always just in what they say is up to the viewer to determine, but these shows certainly get their points across. Some of these episodes are created purely to shock the viewer, while others are there just to spite a certain someone or event that has occurred.
When it comes to Futurama, there are plenty of episodes where they touch on some sensitive topics or comment on real-life events. Often, these episodes are laughed off, but occasionally, the creators are slightly too daring with their creation, and the audience complains of lousy taste.
Still, Futurama has had seven successful seasons and is set to be returning in 2022. A lot has happened in the real world across the last 23 years, so there is more than enough content for the writers to use. For now, we’ll take a look at some of the episodes that were clearly made to spite their targets and vocalize what everyone else was thinking.
