Set in the 31st century,Futuramahas always been a source of surprisingly dark comedy.
Here’s each timeFuturamahas blown up the Earth and how they’ve restored the world or left it destroyed.
When that plan fails spectacularly, Fry figures out an alternative.
This redirects the initial one, saving the world from certain doom.
In the third storyline,Fry avoided being frozen and remained in the 21st century.
This caused irreparable damage to the universe, as Fry was seemingly destined to go to the future.
In a world where he wasn’t frozen,the resulting paradox broke the seams of the timeline.
Due to the non-canon nature of the episode, the end of reality isn’t reversed.
This wouldn’t be the only time robots almost wiped out the planet, however.
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.
After unlocking time travel,the Scammers used a brainwashed Bender to travel through timeand steal countless priceless artifacts.
At first, this seemed to actually fill in the blanks of the show’s canon.
Despite Zapp and Fry’s reluctance, Leela went through with it and saved the world.
This is notably the only time inFuturamathat Earth’s actual destruction wasn’t ret-conned or rendered non-canon.
When a spaceship traveling the cosmos emits a powerful sound,it can cause worlds to collapse upon themselves.
The episode ends with the Planet Express Ship transforming into a duplicate of Bender.
It’s a truly weird episode of the latest revival ofFuturama, including the unexpected destruction of the world.
The episode is largely focused on Professor Farnsworth establishing a surprising career as a fashion designer.
The episode ends with this apocalypse seemingly beginning to happen.
