Summary
As I watched theFuturamaseason 12 trailer, I found myself surprisingly grateful that certain things had made the cut, which makes me look forward to the coming run of episodes even more.Several aspects of Futurama make me laugh, but there’s one in particular that never fails to hit the mark for me. Thankfully, the trailer teases that I won’t be disappointed whenFuturamaseason 12 hits Hulu on July 29.
For me, theFuturamaseason 12 castwill have an easy job topping the show’s last outing. WhileFuturamaseason 11’s endingwas interesting, I feel like the writers favored the sci-fi elements of the show over the comedic parts. As a result, the overall vibe felt off. Even if they plan to do the same in the upcoming season, the trailer has already promised me at least a few of my favorite kind of laughs.

The jetpacks in the Futurama season 12 trailer have to be Farnsworth’s handiwork
TheFuturamaseason 12 trailer includes brief glimpses of new inventions from Professor Farnsworththat fall just short of the mark. For instance, the jetpacks worn by the Planet Express crew may look like they’d allow the wearer to take flight, but their true purpose is to slow the descent of a head-first plummet toward the ground at the very last minute - and they barely manage that.
Another new Farnsworth breakthrough gets much more screen time in the trailer, with his Frankenstein’s Monster-inspired lifeform boasting many of the facets of a sentient being, but it is also missing a head. These two “inventions” surely can’t be the only new additions to Farnsworth’s litany of almost-successes, and I welcome the potential slew of intentionally underwhelming reveals from the professor.
Why I Find Farnsworth’s Inventions So Funny
The professor rarely develops anything faultless (but everything still gets used)
I love the way the professor invariably sets the bar so high with every “Good news, everyone!” just to present to his friends and employees that he’s been working on something that is ever so slightly off-base.There’s no denying Farnsworth is an incredibly intelligent man, butFuturamabrilliantly makes use of the character’s senility to ensure there’s almost always a fault or a sense of disappointment with anything he showcases.
Futurama Season 12 Trailer Proves It’s The Perfect Time For 1 Character To Return 24 Years After Their Debut
Futurama season 12 could be bringing back a character who first appeared in the show almost a quarter-century ago, as teased by the trailer.
What’s even better is that I often forget to expect that his latest contraption could be anything less than flawed. I get to enjoy the wonder of an incredible sci-fi device before being brought crashing back down to Earth in an amusing cloud of familiar and oddly welcoming despondency. IfFuturamaever stops the awful Farnsworth inventions coming, that’s the day I stop watching.
