I just watched the first episode of the new Futurama season and the running gag was their attempt to make fun of the Hulu streaming network (Fulu)… in the year 3023. Not only that, but they also parody Black Mirror which itself parodies Netfix (Streamberry) in their latest season.

What is up with all of this meta stuff? Does anyone actually enjoy it? Is this really the quality of TV prior to AI taking over the writing?

I feel like an old man yelling at the clouds right now ☁️, but look at how they massacred my boy, Futurama!

    I’m not sure why you’re getting so defensive over this, I’m not trying to start an argument here, I’m just pointing out that Soviet satire definitely existed.

    a single survivor … rare exception

    Maybe it was rare, I dunno, but there are plenty of other interesting examples of long running satire published in that region at that time. Deny their existence if you like, but that seems illogical to me.
