Quantcast

Roberto Baldwin

If you're like us, you're besides yourself with joy about the return Futurama. Life just wasn't the same without the adventures of Philip J. Fry and his obnoxious friend Bender on our TVs every week.

Last night's episode took aim at discarded technology being dumped in third-world countries, Twitter, and our favorite company Apple. It was brilliant satire and it's refreshing to have that voice on TV again.

But, when we cruised on over to Comedy Central this morning to watch clips of last night's show, we noticed something odd. The clip entitled "Fry and Leela's Humiliation" was exactly as seen on television last night until the final few seconds. During the broadcast, as the zombies entered the Mom store there is voiceover from the Mom character that is met with cheers from the crowd. She says, "Introducing the all new eyePhone 2.0."

In the online clip from the show, the dialogue is missing. Instead the zombies just began cheering, money in hand for no apparent reason. Here is the clip in question.

And here is the clip from the original broadcast. Note, you have to turn up the volume on the video player.

 

The video player requires Flash 8 Player or later. Please download the latest Flash Player.

 

 

We've contacted Comedy Central about the missing dialogue and we'll update you when we hear back.

I love Futurama too but

I love Futurama too but "brilliant" satire? I'm guessing you didn't see all of the Susan "boil" parts. Ugh.

Possible reason

I'm going out on a limb here but... maybe the reason has to do with the full broadcast making a clear distinction between the trademarked "iPhone" and the satirical "eyePhone." When publishing this clip, we only hear Mom saying "eyePhone" which, in spoken language, is indistinguishable from the trademark.

It's probably because Comedy

It's probably because Comedy Central will censor anything at any time for any reason.
