Futurama can’t stop making fun of crypto and blockchain
The season two premiere of the animated science fiction series’ latest iteration focused on an NFT heist from a museum displaying digital artwork.
More than 25 years after its series premiere, the animated series Futurama, known for its “shut up and take my money” and “not sure if” memes, has gone after non-fungible token (NFT) fans in its latest episode.
In the Futurama episode “The One Amigo,” released on Hulu on July 29, the characters based in the year 3024 struggle to understand the concept of NFTs after selling a series featuring different looks for the robot Bender. The show parodies the Bored Ape Yacht Club NFT collection with the aptly named “Apathetic Fish Society” and explains how one might hypothetically steal an NFT using magical code from an ancient robot civilization.
“You can’t just delete an NFT. There are billions of copies stored all over the universe […] But only the museum has access to a hashcode on the blockchain that authenticates ownership,” said children in the latest Futurama episode.
